Dethroned from the Imperial Throne, Why Are You So Anxious When I Don't Want It Anymore? - Chapter 1
Chapter 1: Rebirth
Great Yan Kingdom, Imperial Capital, Nurturing Heart Palace.
“Ye Yu, you actually cultivated Demonic cultivation! What else do you have to say?!”
Ye Yu raised his head, looking at the familiar scene before him, a flash of ruthlessness instantly appearing in his eyes.
I actually truly was reborn!
In my past life, he was framed by his Imperial Younger Brother, despised by the world, and finally even murdered by several of his Imperial Sisters.
It’s just that no one could have imagined that he was reborn!
In this life, facing this pack of ingrates, he will no longer be as wholeheartedly devoted as in his past life! Doing all sorts of foolish things!
“Heh, I cultivated Demonic cultivation? You say I cultivated it, so I cultivated it?” Ye Yu raised his head, looking directly at Ye Qingwan on the high seat.
This Regent of Great Yan, this unfounded accusation, was the beginning of everything.
Five years ago, Ye Yu was granted the title of Crown Prince, and for a time, he enjoyed boundless glory.
Ye Yu also wholeheartedly served Great Yan as a Crown Prince who truly loved his people like his own sons, but a year ago, after Ye Yu returned from the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring, everything changed.
It was widely rumored that the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring was created by Ye Yu in cooperation with Demonic Cultivators, with the purpose of cultivation.
And the reason Ye Yu entered the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring to suppress the Nine Nether Bl00d Qi was a calculated move, aimed at obtaining the Imperial Throne of Great Yan!
“Elder Sister, I believe Imperial Brother would not cultivate Demonic cultivation. Is there a misunderstanding?” Ye Xuan said with a heartbroken expression beside him.
Ye Xuan, the youngest Prince of the Great Yan Imperial Family, was an obscure marginal Prince before Ye Yu’s departure.
But Ye Xuan, Ye Yu knew, was not as harmless as he appeared, but rather extremely scheming.
In just one year, Ye Xuan had taken Ye Yu’s place in the hearts of several Imperial Sisters, and had become the Prince with the highest support in Great Yan.
In his past life, Ye Yu had not failed to try to explain all this, but all members of the Imperial Family, including the subjects of Great Yan, chose to believe this hypocritical Prince, and did not even care how absurd the matter was.
For example, this time, it was clearly he who had put the Bl00d Demon Heart-Losing Pill in Ye Yu’s medicine, yet now he pretended to be pleading for him.
“You are also a Prince of Great Yan! You don’t even understand the order of seniority?! Is this how you speak to me?!”
“Yesterday, you lost control of your cultivation due to Demonic cultivation, your whole body filled with Demonic Qi, everyone saw it clearly, and you still want to quibble! Kneel down and admit your mistake!” Ye Qingwan’s tone was icy, she stood up and looked at Ye Yu coldly.
Ye Yu suddenly sneered, his gaze fixed on Ye Qingwan on the stage, and said coldly: “Kneel down and admit your mistake?! Do you even deserve it?!”
As his words fell, an invisible aura erupted from Ye Yu’s body, and the expressions of Ye Qingwan and Ye Xuan instantly changed, and a wave of fear rose in their hearts.
Ye Xuan was terrified, looking at Ye Yu in disbelief, his heart filled with bitterness, wasn’t Ye Yu a good-for-nothing? His Spiritual Root was even destroyed, how could he still have such a terrifying aura.
But quickly, Ye Qingwan and Ye Xuan reacted.
The aura emanating from Ye Yu did not come from his cultivation base, but from himself.
Remembering that her Golden Core Stage cultivation base was actually intimidated by the aura emanating from a good-for-nothing, Ye Qingwan felt a little ashamed and angry, her eyes becoming even colder, her Golden Core Stage cultivation base erupting.
Wave after wave of pressure pressed down directly on Ye Yu.
Instantly, Ye Yu felt a weight like a mountain on his shoulders, his bones even began to make cracking sounds, and the previously healed wounds burst open at this moment, bl00d gushing out. Even so, Ye Yu still stood there, with no intention of kneeling.
Looking directly at Ye Qingwan, Ye Yu sneered. If it weren’t for suppressing the Nine Nether Bl00d Qi in the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring, which led to the destruction of his Spiritual Root, a mere Golden Core cultivator, wouldn’t even have the qualifications to stand before him.
No one knows what Ye Yu experienced in those few years in the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring!
The more he thought about it, the colder Ye Yu’s heart became. He had worked tirelessly and risked his life, only to end up with this result.
“Elder Sister, don’t! I’m afraid this is really a misunderstanding. This subject is willing to vouch for Imperial Brother, Imperial Brother has absolutely no ulterior motives towards Great Yan.” Ye Xuan quickly said.
Hearing this, Ye Qingwan’s expression softened slightly, she retracted her pressure, and looked at Ye Yu with a doubtful expression.
Since Ye Yu returned to the Imperial Capital, he had always been obedient to her, no matter what, Ye Yu would agree, obsequiously pleasing her without dignity.
But today, he was like a completely different person.
As she thought, Ye Qingwan met Ye Yu’s icy gaze, and involuntarily stiffened, as if something was being lost.
“For little Xuan’s sake, I’ll let you off this time, but hand over your Crown Prince’s Token. The Crown Prince of the Great Yan Dynasty cannot be a good-for-nothing, nor can he be someone suspected of being a Demonic Cultivator!” Ye Qingwan dismissed the thought, and said coldly.
Ye Yu coldly snorted, without hesitation, he took out the Crown Prince’s Token, the symbol of the Crown Prince, from his bosom and threw it unceremoniously in front of Ye Xuan. Wasn’t this what he wanted?
In his past life, when he was murdered, all the people of Great Yan rejoiced, glad that Great Yan had finally lost a scourge.
From then on, he was completely heartbroken. The people of Great Yan, whom he had once cared so much about, had now become insignificant. This position of Crown Prince, was garbage.
Imperial Grandfather! Yu’er is unfilial!
Seeing Ye Yu so readily hand over the Crown Prince’s Token, Ye Qingwan’s expression softened slightly. It was still the Ye Yu who was always obedient to her, even giving away the Crown Prince’s Token without a second thought.
Immediately, Ye Qingwan’s mood improved considerably.
“Little Xuan, take this Crown Prince’s Token.” Ye Qingwan said to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan looked hesitant, saying: “I shouldn’t, Elder Sister, I’m far inferior to Imperial Brother, the position of Crown Prince should not be mine.”
Ye Yu coldly looked at Ye Xuan. If he wasn’t currently weak, he would have already killed this Demonic Cultivator Spy.
Before Ye Yu’s death in his previous life, he learned that Ye Xuan had long been secretly colluding with the Bl00d Demon Clan, and that the Bl00d Demon Heart-Losing Pill was given to him by someone from the Bl00d Demon Clan to kill him.
“Little Xuan, you’re just too kind. Besides you, who else is qualified to possess this Crown Prince’s Token? From now on, you will be the Crown Prince, you must not be as merciful as you are now.” Ye Qingwan looked at Ye Xuan with satisfaction.
The more she looked at her younger brother, the happier Ye Qingwan felt.
Watching this scene, Ye Yu sneered inwardly. He was particularly eager to see what kind of expression his Elder Sister would have when she discovered that her most beloved younger brother was a Demonic Cultivator Spy, and was eventually dismembered and offered to the Bl00d Demon Clan to be abused.
“Since you are so sensible, I will give you a chance to live. From today onwards, you are no longer a member of my Great Yan Imperial Family, you are demoted to a commoner.” Ye Qingwan finished speaking, and slowly sat down, looking at Ye Yu in the center.
She knew how much Ye Yu valued kinship. Ye Yu’s previous resistance had displeased her, and she was waiting for Ye Yu to beg her tearfully.
