Dethroned from the Imperial Throne, Why Are You So Anxious When I Don't Want It Anymore? - Chapter 162

Chapter 162: Imperial Brother, You Win

As the words fell, the faces of the people around them instantly changed.

Marriages between empires, especially between a small empire like Great Yan and a super empire like Great Zhou, everyone knows the real reason behind them.

But no one would say it out loud, and the princesses who married into other empires never said much, always pretending to be happy.

Ye Qingwan, putting it plainly, had torn off all pretense.

Zhou Li’s expression wasn’t good, but he didn’t say anything immediately. Instead, he looked at Ye Yu, waiting for his answer.

Seeing that Zhou Li didn’t act, Ye Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief. She had won her gamble; Zhou Li was afraid of Ye Yu.

Her fate was about to be rewritten.

Hearing this, Ye Yu slowly turned around and looked Ye Qingwan up and down.

Seeing Ye Yu’s gaze, wild joy filled Ye Qingwan’s heart. She firmly believed that, given Ye Yu’s personality, he would never let her fall into the fire pit.

Just as he had countless times before, Ye Yu would always consider her.

But unexpectedly, Ye Yu said, “A Great Yan princess, so shameless as to say such things, truly damaging the Great Yan Imperial Family’s reputation. Prince Zhou, you should properly teach her a lesson after taking her back. ”

As the words fell, Ye Qingwan felt a chill run down her spine, a wave of coldness sweeping over her. Stiffly turning around, she met Zhou Li’s cold gaze.

“I will! I will teach her what royal face means! ” Zhou Li’s voice echoed softly.

To Ye Qingwan’s ears, it was like the devil’s whisper.

“No, no, no, Little Yu, you can’t do this, I’m your elder sister! We grew up together as siblings! You can’t do this! ” Ye Qingwan became hysterical.

“Great Yan Princess, you look terrible,” Ye Yu said indifferently, pulling Qin Ruoxian away.

These words, so familiar, struck Ye Qingwan like lightning. She sat down on the chair in despair, turning to look at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan remained indifferent.

The next moment, Ye Qingwan gritted her teeth. At this point, she didn’t care anymore. Once she went to Great Zhou with Zhou Li, the best outcome awaiting her was death. She immediately shouted, “Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan is a Demonic Cultivator Spy! ”

The roar echoed throughout the hall, even causing Ye Yu’s departing footsteps to pause, a playful smile appearing on his face.

“What nonsense are you talking about! ” Before anyone else could react, Ye Fan stood up, his face gloomy.

“I’m not lying! Ye Xuan really is a Demonic Cultivator Spy! I have proof, I have proof! ” Ye Qingwan said through gritted teeth.

Everyone present was shocked. At this moment, they no longer cared about the marriage; the weight of the words “Demonic Cultivator Spy” far outweighed the union of two empires.

“You dare say that again! ” Ye Fan was furious and was about to attack.

But Zhou Li stopped him with a raised hand, his gaze falling on the gloomy-faced Ye Xuan. “Sovereign Ye, let’s get to the bottom of this first. ”

“Ye Qingwan, you should know the consequences of falsely accusing someone from the Nine Spirits Sword Sect,” Ren Xiaoyao also spoke at this moment, his expression cold.

“No, no, I absolutely didn’t falsely accuse him! It’s in the Crown Prince’s East Palace, underground! Go and see for yourselves! ” Ye Qingwan said anxiously. She knew that if she couldn’t produce evidence, she wouldn’t survive the day.

Hearing this, Ye Xuan’s face changed drastically. He hadn’t expected Ye Qingwan to know about this.

Of course, he wouldn’t know that Ye Qingqing had told Ye Qingwan, and it was Xue Li’s intention.

“Sovereign Ye, let’s go take a look. ” The change in Ye Xuan’s expression didn’t escape anyone’s eyes. Even Ren Xiaoyao couldn’t help but feel nervous.

If Ye Xuan’s identity as a Demonic Cultivator Spy was confirmed, not only Great Yan, but even the Nine Spirits Sword Sect wouldn’t be able to escape unscathed!

Faced with so many people, Ye Fan had no choice but to agree, and he also believed in his beloved youngest son. Although he was a bit willful, he would absolutely not be a Demonic Cultivator Spy.

He then led everyone towards the East Palace.

Soon, everyone arrived at the East Palace.

As for Xue Li, after receiving Ye Xuan’s notice, he had already left.

Upon arrival, an Elder stepped into mid-air, spiritual energy surging around him, forcefully lifting the entire Crown Prince’s East Palace.

But everyone’s gaze wasn’t on the lifted building, but fixed on the ground.

A thick stream of Bl00d Qi surged from underground, the pungent smell of bl00d constantly assaulting the senses of those present.

Ye Fan’s expression was grim. He turned around, looking at Ye Xuan in disbelief. He never imagined that there was something hidden beneath the Crown Prince’s East Palace.

The Elder frowned, waved his hand, and a spiritual energy whirlwind appeared, clearing the ground. A downward staircase appeared before everyone.

Ren Xiaoyao’s face was now extremely gloomy. He unleashed a Sword Qi, instantly cleaving the ground, exposing what was hidden beneath.

A huge Bl00d Pool appeared before them, crisscrossed with iron chains. An elderly woman was hanging from them, her face gaunt, her bl00d seemingly drained.

Hiss!

Everyone present couldn’t help but gasp. Let alone anything else, to fill such a large Bl00d Pool, how many people would have to be killed?

“You all saw it! I wasn’t lying! Ye Xuan is a Demonic Cultivator Spy! ” Ye Qingwan quickly shouted.

“Imperial Brother, how could the East Palace be like this underneath? When did you do this?!” The moment Ye Qingwan finished speaking, Ye Xuan’s voice rang out.

The moment his words fell, everyone’s gaze turned to Ye Yu standing in mid-air.

The Crown Prince’s East Palace wasn’t only used by Ye Xuan; Ye Yu had also lived there for a period of time.

“Little Yu hasn’t stayed in the East Palace for long since he became Crown Prince. This couldn’t have been done by Little Yu! ” This time, before Ye Yu could say anything, Ye Qingwan jumped in to speak.

“Elder Sister, did you forget that I didn’t stay in the East Palace for long either? Ah, but since you said so, I guess I did it. Imperial Brother, you win. ” Ye Xuan sighed.

“You say this was done by me, is that right? ” Ye Yu’s lips curled into a slight smile as he asked.

Ye Xuan’s face changed slightly, but he didn’t speak, clearly admitting it. He had notified Xue Li earlier, killing Liu Ruyun before leaving.

There was no witness, and no evidence to prove he had done it. As long as he denied it, no one could say anything. Moreover, the Bl00d Refining Technique didn’t leave behind Demonic Qi.

Seeing Ye Xuan not speak, Ye Yu shot out a Spiritual Light, merging it into the withered body.

Clang… clang…

Suddenly, the sound of chains rang out, and Liu Ruyun’s body moved slightly.

Ye Xuan’s heart leaped into his throat. Liu Ruyun wasn’t dead?!
