Dethroned from the Imperial Throne, Why Are You So Anxious When I Don't Want It Anymore? - Chapter 26

Chapter 26: Want To Enter? Cure My Poison

Seeing this in the recording, Ye Yu, disregarding his own wound, struggled to crawl to Ye Qingqing’s side, took out another small knife, and cut himself in the chest.

Seeing this, everyone present gasped, completely unable to understand what Ye Yu was doing.

But Ye Qingxuan reacted at this moment, looking at Ye Yu incredulously, and exclaimed in shock: “You wouldn’t be… ”

Ye Yu did not answer, but silently watched the recording progress.

In the recording, a mass of bl00d was forced out of Ye Yu’s chest and then merged into Ye Qingqing’s body. Ye Qingqing’s complexion gradually improved at this moment, and the originally surging demonic qi around her also subsided.

Ye Qingshuang trembled at the sight of this. Having followed Cang Yun for many years, she naturally knew what that mass of bl00d was.

It was heart bl00d, also known as essence bl00d, the root of the human body.

Without essence bl00d, bodily functions would rapidly decline, the healing of various wounds would become slower, and the body would become weak and frail.

Ye Qingshuang only now realized why Ye Yu had been frequently ill after returning, and even her treatment could not improve him for long.

Originally, Ye Qingshuang thought all this was an act by Ye Yu, finding various excuses to make them feel sorry for him and thus neglect Ye Xuan.

But the truth was so shocking. How could Ye Yu’s body get better without essence bl00d, especially since Ye Yu’s body had long been eroded by the Nine Nether Bl00d Qi? Under the double blow, Ye Yu’s survival was already a miracle.

Everyone’s gaze toward Ye Yu changed, with sympathy, but more with admiration.

Who could do this for their half-sister?

Ye Yu watched this scene, feeling helpless in his heart; his past self was truly foolish.

The Great Yan Imperial Family actually knew the method to save Ye Qingqing a long time ago: using an incisor knife to pierce the heart already contaminated by demon bl00d, drawing out the demon bl00d, thus curing her madness.

But the heart is the source of a person’s life. If it is damaged, the consequences are enormous, not to mention extracting the bl00d from it.

Unless someone was willing to infuse their own essence bl00d, Ye Qingqing could not survive.

And this essence bl00d could not be externally extracted unless that person willingly gave it.

But who would be willing to sacrifice their entire future, even their life, for a half-sister or half-brother?

So it was delayed again and again.

Until Ye Yu returned from the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring, the matter was still unresolved. Ye Yu then devised a plan to lure Ye Qingqing to the East Palace and use his essence bl00d to prolong her life.

Unfortunately, in his past life, this fourth sister was the one who hated him the most.

Because of the damage to her heart source, Ye Qingqing’s survival was a miracle, and her previously cultivated cultivation base naturally disappeared.

For cultivators, rebuilding cultivation is as difficult as ascending to the heavens, and Ye Qingqing was not a diligent person.

Ultimately, Ye Qingqing blamed everything on Ye Yu and would occasionally come to vent her anger on him.

But in his past life, Ye Yu only cared about whether Ye Qingqing, his fourth sister, would develop an inner demon because of this. He endured her scolding and beatings without resistance, hoping to quickly dispel Ye Qingqing’s resentment.

Just as Ye Yu was mocking himself, the scene changed again.

A figure rushed in—it was Ye Qingxuan.

Ye Yu in the recording saw Ye Qingxuan and grinned, just about to say something.

But Ye Qingxuan glanced at Ye Qingqing, who was collapsed on the ground, her expression suddenly turning grim. Without a word, she directly struck her with a palm, sending her flying, then picked up Ye Qingqing and hurriedly ran away.

Leaving Ye Yu lying on the ground, bl00d flowing, some parts even revealing white bones, a terrifying sight.

At this point in the recording, Ye Qingshuang finally unsealed the restriction she had set and quickly retrieved the recording stone.

The people around let out a sigh, many casting apologetic glances at Ye Yu.

Feeling ashamed for previously believing Ye Qingxuan’s claim that he was colluding with the Demon Race.

But this could not be entirely blamed on them. Who would have thought Ye Qingxuan would use the matter of the Demon Race to smear Ye Yu?

Thinking of this, the people’s gazes towards Ye Qingxuan and the others became even more disgusted.

Ye Qingxuan also froze in place, her mind filled with the look Ye Yu had given her in the recording: warm, longing, joyful.

But now, only coldness remained.

“How is it, Second Princess? Where’s the evidence you mentioned? ” Ye Yu, without much thought, sneered.

Ye Qingxuan’s expression changed slightly. Her gaze towards Ye Yu became more complex, and she mumbled, “Why didn’t you say anything? ”

“If I did, would you believe me? In the end, you’d probably just think I was seeking credit, right? Or perhaps you’d think this was a play I staged myself to maintain my position as Crown Prince? ” Ye Yu stroked his chin and said calmly.

Having lived two lives, if he still couldn’t see through these people’s hypocrisy, he would be a fool.

“Alright, Second Sister, don’t feel guilty towards him. Isn’t this what he should do? Besides, he did it, but he didn’t say anything. He can only blame himself. ” Ye Qingshuang said from the side.

“Besides, given his personality, maybe this was actually his plan. Otherwise, why would he specifically lure Qingqing to the East Palace to do this? Wasn’t it deliberately done to leave a record on the recording stone for us to discover later? ”

“Otherwise, how could he have recovered his power after losing his essence bl00d, and how could he stand here now? ”

This bizarre statement once again refreshed the understanding of the audience around them.

Are they crazy? What a bizarre train of thought!

But Ye Qingxuan listened, her eyes immediately shining, fully agreeing with Ye Qingshuang’s judgment, perhaps also wanting to cover up the guilt rising in her heart.

Ye Yu twitched his mouth at the two of them, unable to bear to pay them any more attention, and turned to walk towards Lingyun Pavilion.

Unexpectedly, Ye Qingxuan rushed in a few steps ahead of him, then showed the token of the Great Yan Imperial Family to the people of Lingyun Pavilion, saying, “I am Ye Qingxuan, the Second Princess of Great Yan. I order you to throw him out! ”

Several guards exchanged glances. Although extremely speechless, they still walked in front of Ye Yu and politely said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Ye, the Great Yan Imperial Family is a partner of our Lingyun Pavilion. We must ask you to leave. ”

“Want to come in? I’ll give you a chance. Help me get rid of this poison! ” Ye Qingxuan sneered upon seeing this.

Ye Yu glanced at Ye Qingxuan like she was an idiot, then swept his palm across his storage ring, and a purple-gold token appeared in his hand.
