Chapter 1052 (Blood-Red Wedding 2)
Ye Hua watched as the Crow bowed and pretended to express gratitude.
The courtiers below also praised the Emperor for assigning someone to protect Prince Ye. Such sincerity was truly evident.
"Your Majesty, is this person your confidant?" Ye Hua curiously asked.
"Yes, I naturally trust him," Huang Fei replied.
Ye Hua nodded, feeling a sense of regret. Unfortunately, it was a pity.
Huang Fei paused for a moment and said softly, "Prince Ye, let's get back to the main topic."
"Okay," Ye Hua responded calmly.
"Prince Ye, have you colluded with Huang Li?" Huang Fei questioned coldly, with the Crow by his side for reassurance.
To be precise, the Crow had been on standby nearby. His presence now had some advantages; it would prevent baseless accusations.
Ye Hua responded calmly, "Your Majesty, whether I colluded with Huang Li or not, let General Ye present the evidence, and we will know."
"Good! General Ye, present your evidence!" Huang Fei was now a bit nervous. It was the most crucial moment. If the evidence was insufficient, the accusation would be directly placed on the Ye family, resulting in mass execution.
"I obey! But I would like to ask the Ninth Prince one last time if he conspired to kill the Crown Prince and frame him!"
Huang Yun solemnly declared, "Certainly not!"
Ye Yuanqing nodded, slowly closing her eyes.
Everyone awaited Ye Yuanqing to present the evidence. This determined the balance between the Ye family and the royal family.
Who would emerge victorious! Someone was bound to die today!
Huang Fei was undoubtedly nervous, as was Huang Yun herself.
Of course, those implicated were also tense.
Qian Yuqing was currently anxious, hoping Ye Hua could overcome this difficulty. If there were any punishments, she wished they would fall on her, not on Ye Hua, the man she loved.
Probably only Ye Hua was not nervous. In his eyes, this was just a trivial matter, a breeze.
As Ye Yuanqing opened her beautiful eyes, everyone's hearts were hanging in their throats.
Stop playing games; just say it.
"Please present the evidence!" Ye Yuanqing declared with a determined tone.
Everyone stared intently at Ye Yuanqing, but after she finished speaking, there was no immediate action. Instead...
The Crow standing next to the Emperor moved.
He lightly waved his hand, and a white cloud appeared in the centre.
All minds buzzed, what on earth was happening! Why would the evidence appear with someone close to the Emperor? How could the situation turn out like this!
Huang Fei was also perplexed, slowly turning his head to look at the Crow, completely unaware of what the Crow was doing!
Shan Junren couldn't comprehend it either. Why would the Crow act this way? He was a Supreme Overlord, after all!
Huang Yun was also dumbfounded, wondering what the person by the emperor's side was doing! 'Are you planning to betray the Emperor? What did Ye Hua offer you that made you choose betrayal?'
What did Ye Hua offer him?
He offered the Crow a chance at life. Wasn't that a tremendous benefit, more direct than any treasure?
"What are you doing!" Huang Fei questioned coldly.
After regaining composure, Huang Fei finally understood why Ye Hua had called the Crow out! He wanted the Emperor to admit it! The Crow was one of his people!
If Ye Hua had directly exposed the Crow, the Emperor could have easily denied knowing him. After all, the Crow had never been in the public eye!
'Ye Hua! You are truly cunning! You even managed to turn someone by my side!'
"Your Majesty, I am doing what I should do," the Crow said softly, having made up his mind long ago.
"Hurry up and stop this. Whatever you want, I will give it to you. Don't you want your freedom? I permit you to leave!"
"It's too late, Your Majesty..."
Huang Fei knew that the Crow must have solid evidence, or else Ye Hua wouldn't be so calm.
Everything had been planned! Probably, it had been planned since their time on the border!
In the central area, the white clouds gradually dispersed, revealing the scene!
When everyone saw the scene, they felt a chilling sensation behind them, especially Huang Yun. His face had already darkened with astonishment.
The person sent by the Emperor to kill Ye Hua had been hiding by his side!
In the scene, Huang Yun stood tall, completely uninjured, while Huang Li was covered in wounds, clearly suffering fatal injuries!
This single scene was enough to prove that everything Huang Yun had said was false!
Huang Yun landed in front of Huang Fei, placing the sword at his neck and coldly said, "Huang Li, don't blame your ruthless younger brother. It's because you blocked my way!"
Such words sounded incredibly ironic. Just a moment ago, Huang Yun swore he was wronged, but now it was all deceitful!
At this moment, Huang Yun's face turned pale, unable to focus.
Listening to the pleas from Huang Li, everyone felt the sorrow, realising that he wasn't killed by the enemy but by his own half-brother!
When Huang Yun spoke about wanting the position of the Crown Prince, wanting the throne, everyone felt how ambitious Huang Yun was. Even Huang Fei sensed it.
The gruesome scene unfolded, with Huang Yun mercilessly beheading Huang Fei!
Such a scene was truly heart-wrenching. Although aware of the power struggles within the royal family, witnessing evidence for the first time was chilling! For the position of the Crown Prince, for the throne, one would resort to any means!
Next, everyone witnessed how ruthless Huang Yun was towards himself.
After taking the Supreme Soul, he burned the body, and finally, he almost killed himself. Such a person was truly terrifying! It was horrifying to see the lengths someone would go for power!
The scene ended here as the white clouds gradually dispersed, as if nothing had happened.
The entire venue fell into a deep silence. No one uttered a word because everyone was shocked.
Qian Yuqing also found it unbelievable. This Huang Yun was so malicious, it was beyond comprehension.
After a long silence, Ye Hua calmly said, "Your Majesty, what crime is it when the Ninth Prince killed the Crown Prince, and even framed him?"
With Ye Hua's words, everyone snapped out of their stupor. Shan Junren understood Prince Ye's intention!
A look of horror appeared on his face!
So, Prince Ye had done so much, all just to witness!
The Emperor killing his own son!
This intention was meticulous to the point of being terrifying!
They had thought the prophecy of blood in the imperial hall had been fulfilled with Huang Yun's blood. Turns out it was far from over!
Ye Yuanqing only learned of her brother's plan last night. It turned out that from beginning to end, all the arrangements were to make the Emperor personally kill his favourite son!
Upon hearing this, Ye Yuanqing felt a numbing sensation throughout her body. Her elder brother had become... so frightening!
But thinking about the Emperor wanting to kill his entire family, her elder brother only let the Emperor kill his son, and it seemed like it wasn't that bad.
'This is a life-and-death struggle, but brother is clearly going to win. Brother never fails! Brother is the strongest!'
