From the night he overheard the conversation between Ji Yunshu and Fu Bo in Jinjiang, Wei Yi had already mentally prepared himself.
Now, he had finally accepted his identity, but …
He found it hard to accept that the person in front of him, full of hatred, was his own father!
He didn't want to admit it!
He didn't dare to admit it!
Because he knew that if he did, he would have to accept the blood feud he had with his father. It would also mean that … Jing Rong was his enemy!
He retreated. "I can't stay here."
However, the Imperial Duke grabbed his hand. "I'm your family. I'm your only family in this world."
"Shu 'er is!"
"Xi 'er …"
He struggled to shake off the Imperial Duke and told him clearly, "Since you don't want to tell me what happened in the past, I won't ask anymore.
I've had my own life for the past twenty-one years. I don't want to get involved in what happened in the past, and I don't want those so-called things either. "
"They belong to us and we deserve them."
"It's not me, it's you!" He said firmly.
The Imperial Duke was disappointed. His eyes darkened as he said, "Father has already paved the way for you. You don't need to do anything!"
Wei Yi was speechless.
"Before the annual sacrifice, the Emperor will leave the city and go to Ji Mountain. Once he leaves the capital, he will be like an eagle without wings. When that time comes, the whole world will be ours." His ferocious face was filled with an endless desire for power.
It wasn't greed!
It was hatred!
Wei Yi was shocked and frightened. His eyes widened and he kept retreating. "Jing Rong and Shu 'er won't let you do that."
"Jing Rong?" He laughed heartily. "He can't escape even if he has wings. He can't even protect himself."
"…"
He didn't understand! The Imperial Duke smiled sinisterly. "In order to investigate the Lin Capital case, he sent people to Ji Mountain to dig up a coffin and examine the corpse. He wanted to know who was in the coffin. In the end, the corpse was destroyed and the guards of the capital captured him. His crime was unimaginable. By now, he should have been imprisoned.
If he was locked up in the imperial prison, how could he save the Emperor? The Emperor also removed all the guards on Ji Mountain who were involved in this matter and arranged for a new group of people to go in. That group of people … had already been secretly replaced with our people. When the time comes, my army of a hundred thousand will surround Ji Mountain. Even if the soldiers inside and outside the capital react and rush to Ji Mountain to rescue them, it will be too late. The Emperor will die on the day of the annual sacrifice, and Prince Rong will also die in prison on that day. As for that Lord Ji …
If it doesn't work, I'll still kill him. "
Huh?
Wei Yi shuddered.
There was a trace of shock in his eyes as he shouted at the Imperial Duke, "If you want to kill them, then kill me first."
"You're still thinking about them at this time? Put away your mercy! "
"Jing Rong and Shu 'er risked their lives to find out the cause of the fire at the Imperial Duke's residence and to seek justice for you. But now, you want them dead. Are you too cruel? Or am I being too kind? "he roared with all his might.
"Enough!" The Imperial Duke snapped. "If you want to blame someone, blame it on the fact that he's the Emperor's son!"
"You …" "More than seventy people from the Imperial Duke's residence were burned alive, and your mother as well. If it weren't for the emperor, I wouldn't have secretly sent you and your mother away, and she wouldn't have died on the road. The person sitting on the throne now is a murderer, our enemy! Even if I let him.
Even a hundred times wouldn't be enough to repay the debt he owes in this lifetime! "
"But it has nothing to do with Jing Rong!"
"It is only right and proper for a son to repay his father's debts!"
Roar!
His voice reverberated in the pavilion. It was deafening, as if he was venting his years of resentment.
Wei Yi's eyes were bloodshot, and he couldn't say another word! The Imperial Duke pointed at his own face. "Look at me, look at me now. I don't look like a human, nor do I look like a ghost. Xi'er, this is what they left me! Over the past 15 years, I have been thinking about that fire day and night. More than 70 people were trapped in the fire, screaming and crying.
Their screams and cries reverberated in my ears. But the murderers get whatever they want. For so many years, I've been struggling at death's door, living a life worse than death until today, just for this day. They deserve it! " They have taken away what belongs to us for more than 20 years, and now is the time to return it.
As long as the emperor dies, his son will die, and the Great Lin's empire will be yours! "
He forcefully poked Wei Yi's chest with his finger.
Empire?
Haha!
Wei Yi sneered, a hint of mockery in his laughter. He met his father's bloodthirsty gaze and said, "If I have to kill so many people for the throne, I'd rather not have anything!"
These words thoroughly infuriated the Imperial Duke. As he gritted his teeth, the scar on his face scrunched up, making him look even more sinister and terrifying.
He said, "Listen, this isn't a matter of whether you want it or not. Do you want it or not? It's what you deserve. I gave it to you, so you must have it! "
Wei Yi stubbornly looked at him. "Revenge breeds revenge, will there ever be an end to it? Stop! "
"Enough!"
"…"
"Someone," the Imperial Duke called out.
Zhao Huai quickly entered.
He ordered, "Look after the Little Heir. Don't let anything happen to him before the annual sacrifice!"
"Yes!"
He flicked his sleeves and left.
Wei Yi was left standing in a daze.
Zhao Huai walked closer. "Little Heir."
"My surname is Wei!" He corrected Zhao Huai and turned to look at him. "Do you really want them to die?"
Ugh!
Zhao Huai was speechless.
"Don't forget that it was Jing Rong who spared your life in Gaoshan Village. He gave you your life, but now you want to kill him!"
"I'm following orders!" "Are you going to disregard the lives of the innocent just because you said you were following orders? Zhao Huai, I know you're not an evil person and have a conscience in your heart. Otherwise … you wouldn't have chopped off your arm as a sacrifice for your dead brothers. But now, Jing Rong and Shu 'er have nothing to do with this matter.
Do they deserve to die? "
Zhao Huai had a sense of loyalty in his bones.
Facing Wei Yi's words, he actually felt ashamed.
Indeed, Jing Rong spared his life. Logically speaking, he should be his benefactor!
Wei Yi could read his mind. He walked in front of him and continued, "Take me to Shu 'er. I want to tell them about this. Don't let Ji Mountain turn into a river of blood. The tragedy of that year should not be paid with human lives!"
Ugh!
Zhao Huai was stunned.
His eyes widened as he looked straight into Wei Yi's eyes. His Adam's apple bobbed for a long time before he suddenly sobered up. He took a step back and regained his composure. "Little Heir, forgive me for not being able to comply. If you inform them about the annual sacrifice, then all of Master's efforts over the years will go to waste. We've been waiting for the truth for fifteen years. The Emperor didn't hesitate to kill so many people for the sake of his throne.
'Yes, Master is right. He deserves to die. Little Heir, the throne is yours to begin with! You should also listen to Master. Those people aren't worth your help! "
Haha!
Each and every one of them was a bloodthirsty demon!
Wei Yi laughed. "If you dare to harm Jing Rong and Shu 'er, then you'll have to kill me first."
"Little Heir …"
"I'll say it one more time. My surname is Wei!"
His voice was loud and clear.
It reverberated in the cold air.
Zhao Huai's expression was complicated.
Wei Yi's brows shone with an extremely cold and stern expression, but he didn't say anything else.
