Dethroned from the Imperial Throne, Why Are You So Anxious When I Don't Want It Anymore? - Chapter 163
Chapter 163: Brother Yu, I’m Sorry
Ye Xuan was nervous at this moment. If Liu Ruyun identified him, even if there was no Demonic Qi here, the Bl00d Pool alone would be impossible to explain.
Years of careful planning would completely collapse at this moment.
Liu Ruyun, trapped by those chains, slowly raised her head at this moment. Her face, dry and wrinkled like tree bark, no longer had any of its previous youthful beauty.
The torment of this period had made her life worse than death.
Liu Ruyun raised her head, but before she could enjoy the sunlight she hadn’t seen for a long time, she saw Ye Yu in mid-air.
At this moment, Ye Yu was holding Qin Ruoxian, bathed in sunlight, like a pair of fairy couples.
Looking at her own withered body, a sound of unwilling cries rang out in her throat.
Originally, it should have been her standing beside Ye Yu, but now, she was hung on this Bl00d Pool, growing old, and her life was nearing its end.
In her turbid eyes, tears had accumulated at some point, and Ye Yu’s figure in mid-air gradually blurred.
In a daze, she saw the Ye Yu who had once wholeheartedly loved her.
But as tears fell, the world before her eyes became clear again, and what she saw was Ye Yu, with a calm expression and eyes without a trace of emotion.
It was she who drove him away!
It was she who abandoned Ye Yu, who wholeheartedly loved her!
“Yu… Brother Yu… ” After a long while, Liu Ruyun finally spoke her first words.
Before the people could react, a sudden exclamation rang out.
Everyone turned to look, only to see Ye Xuan with a shocked expression, stumbling to Liu Ruyun’s side, “Sister Ruyun, are you Sister Ruyun? Oh my god, how did you become like this! ”
Then, Ye Xuan said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Liu Ruyun, watch what you say, the Liu Family is still in Great Yan. ”
His tone was indescribably cold.
Liu Ruyun looked at the pitiful Ye Xuan in front of her and struggled wildly, wishing she could tear Ye Xuan apart. This was not a kind and considerate younger brother, but a wolf in human skin.
But now, Liu Ruyun was at the end of her rope. No matter how she struggled, she could not break free from the chains.
“Sister Ruyun, Sister Ruyun, don’t do this, who did this to you, tell me, I’ll avenge you! ” Ye Xuan said.
After speaking, he also made way, allowing Liu Ruyun to see Liu Tiannan and others not far away.
Seeing Liu Tiannan and several people, Liu Ruyun stopped struggling, her throat constantly emitting unwilling growls, her eyes bloodshot, staring fiercely at Ye Xuan.
Then Liu Ruyun hissed at Ye Xuan, “Ye Xuan, even as a ghost, I will not let you go! ”
Having said that, Liu Ruyun looked at Ye Yu in mid-air, “Brother Yu… I’m… sorry… ”
As soon as the words fell, Liu Ruyun’s head tilted, and she completely breathed her last.
“Sister Ruyun, Sister Ruyun! Sister Ruyun, you can’t die! ” Seeing Liu Ruyun’s death, Ye Xuan cried out, but the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.
With Liu Ruyun’s death, the matter ended just like that.
But everyone had a new judgment of Ye Xuan.
Among them, Ye Fan was even more so, as if he didn’t recognize Ye Xuan at all.
When he knew that the person in front of him was Liu Ruyun, Ye Fan actually already understood that this matter had nothing to do with Ye Yu.
After all, after Ye Yu left for a long time, Liu Ruyun was still living well in Great Yan. Of the remaining people, there was only Ye Xuan.
Ye Fan secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and subconsciously looked at Ye Yu.
Noticing Ye Fan’s gaze, Ye Yu also looked over, then showed a playful smile, as if saying, you’re next!
Instantly, Ye Fan felt a chill in his heart.
Since there was no Demonic Qi, Zhou Li no longer had any intention of pursuing the matter further. Over the years, those who had died in Zhou Li’s hands because of cultivation matters could fill three bl00d pools of this size.
In the human world, it is far darker than hell for ordinary people and even cultivators without power and background.
Everyone tacitly agreed not to mention the matter here again, but everyone had a scale in their hearts about how to proceed in the future.
Ren Xiaoyao also had to re-examine this disciple of his at this moment.
Ye Qingwan’s fate could not be changed, and she was taken away from the Great Yan Dynasty by Zhou Li with a desperate look on her face.
Ye Yu and Qin Ruoxian also set off on their way back to Great Qin.
After today’s incident, although everyone did not pursue the matter of the Bl00d Pool, it did not mean that this matter would not spread.
Once it spreads, it will undoubtedly be a bolt from the blue for the people of Great Yan.
“They probably wouldn’t have thought that the Crown Prince they revered was actually this kind of person. Great Yan has lost the hearts of the people, and it will probably decline faster,” Qin Ruoxian said, looking at the crowds of people under her feet.
“Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it,” Ye Yu simply said.
Hearing this, Qin Ruoxian looked up and asked, “I’ve also tried to get involved in state affairs during this period, but I still don’t understand the hearts of the people. ”
“Are you interested? ” Ye Yu said in some surprise.
“A little,” Qin Ruoxian nodded. If she wanted to stand by Ye Yu’s side, she would have to deal with these things sooner or later.
Ye Yu pondered for a moment and said, “Look down, so many people. To win their hearts, it’s simple: enough food and clothing, and no foreign wars to worry about. ”
“But the difficulty is to make them accept their status as oxen and horses of Great Yan. That requires giving them some hope, giving them the hope of turning things around. ”
But in reality, can anyone really turn things around?
People like Liu Qi are few and far between. Even if such a few people turn things around, it won’t affect anything.
Even in my past life, with the status of an imperial relative, I still couldn’t turn things around, let alone an ordinary person.
Difficult!
Perhaps it’s because I’m not capable enough, but how many people can have both ability and background at the same time?
“That doesn’t sound like what the Great Yan Crown Prince who once loved his people like sons would say,” Qin Ruoxian smiled.
“Loving the people like sons is just a facade. If you don’t show that you care about them, how can they trust you? It’s just that I didn’t expect this trust to collapse so easily. I still failed,” Ye Yu sighed.
Hearing this, Qin Ruoxian didn’t say anything else and quietly followed behind Ye Yu.
Great Yan Imperial Palace, returned to silence.
Because the East Palace was destroyed, Ye Xuan temporarily lived in another side hall.
At this moment, he was looking at Xue Li in front of him with an unkind expression, “Didn’t I tell you to kill her? Why didn’t you do it? ”
Ye Xuan’s cultivation base was now above Xue Li’s, so he naturally didn’t have to be as cautious as he was when facing Xue Qin.
“You came too fast, I still need to clean up the traces of my existence, I really didn’t have time,” Xue Li took a deep breath and said.
“You better be! ” Ye Xuan gave Xue Li a dark look, then said again, “Send the message out, we can begin! “
