Chapter 503 Handing over the Imperial Seal
Li Hongyu sneered: "Humph, aren't you just afraid that I will take his place? You think I don't know that you want me dead, but you are the emperor, the king, you can't kill me with your own hands, you don't want to bear the reputation of a tyrant, so you send me to the battlefield and let me fend for myself."
The emperor shook his head in disappointment: "I don't like you because every time I see you, I can think of your mother's betrayal, but I have never thought of killing you. After all, you are my child, how could I not see through you? You have ambitions, but you are not worthy of your ambitions."
"Not worthy, haha, why shouldn't I be worthy? Look, I still don't deserve it now."
Li Hongyu laughed loudly, and he spread his arms to show off: "Now the entire palace is under my control, do you think I am worthy of it?"
The emperor looked at Li Hongyu with pity in his eyes: "I am sorry for you. These days I have been thinking, if I could care about you more, you would not be like this."
"What's the point of you saying this now? No matter what you say now, my mother will never come back. Old man, I have been waiting for this day. I want to tell you how outstanding the son you despise the most is."
"Hey, please leave. I'm tired and I need to rest."
Li Hongyu laughed loudly: "Old man, you didn't hear what I said, right? Now the palace is under my control. Do you still think you are the emperor?"
Li Hongting finally couldn't help it: "Li Hongyu, don't go too far."
"Too much! I haven't even started doing anything yet and you think it's too much."
Li Hongyu flicked his sleeves and quickly walked to the dragon chair behind the dragon table and sat down: "Since both you and your son are here today, let's just end it."
Li Hongyu's eyes swept coldly across the emperor and Li Hongting's faces.
"If you like the tiger talisman, you can take it to the grave, but the jade seal must be taken out today."
He has been working in the military camp for so many years. Even without the tiger talisman, he is confident that he can control the military officers. However, without the jade seal, he cannot ascend the throne legitimately.
"cough cough"
The emperor couldn't help coughing twice, and Li Hongting quickly helped him sit aside.
"If you hand over the jade seal now, I can spare your life. Otherwise, I will make your life worse than death."
"Li Hongyu, are you sure about this?"
"Shut up! What qualifications do you have to speak to me in this tone? You are the favored one, so of course you can be fearless."
Li Hongyu stood up from the dragon throne excitedly.
"You don't have to fight or compete, he will give you everything, but I'm different. All my efforts are just to make him look at me more, just to let him know that his son has more than just you, there is also me, I am just as good."
Li Hongyu roared like a madman, venting the grievances in his heart.
"But he can't see me. He can't see me. No, that's not right. He sees me. He sees my efforts."
Li Hongyu fell into his own thoughts, as if he was recalling something.
"But he is not happy that I am so outstanding. I should be mediocre, so that no one can threaten you. Then everyone will naturally think that the country should be yours, you should be the crown prince, and you should be the emperor in the future..."
"So he asked me to guard the border. I have been away for so many years. I have been injured countless times during these years. Have you ever asked me if I have ever thought that I am also your son?"
The emperor had never expected that his son would have so many complaints against him. He felt even more guilty: "I am ashamed of you."
"You are ashamed of me."
Li Hongyu stared at the emperor fiercely: "You deserve what you have gotten now."
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes, he had regained his composure. "Today I want to see the imperial seal. I'll give you one stick of incense. After that, I'll kill one concubine every time one stick of incense burns out. Your concubine."
As he spoke, Li Hongyu clapped his hands in the air, and soon he heard the sound of a woman crying outside.
"You'd better hurry up. After killing these seven concubines, you will be the Imperial Noble Consort."
A murderous look flashed across Li Hongting's eyes.
But he also knows that now is not the right time, he is waiting, waiting for the person who should come!
He looked down at his father, who was already very tired. He whispered, "Father, please go back to bed and rest first."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "No, let me sit here for a while."
Time passed little by little, and the emperor sat upright, not looking like he had been poisoned.
But his bloodless lips betrayed him.
Watching the last bit of incense burn out, Li Hongyu stood up excitedly: "Time's up, hehe..."
"Bring people in."
The woman who was kneeling in the yard and crying was dragged in by the Royal Guards.
Those women were shaking like sieves. Some of them were very young, around 20 years old, while some were older, around 40 years old.
No matter how old they are or how beautiful they look, they just want to stay alive.
“Who will be the first?”
Li Hongyu walked past a row of concubines and said, "Why not let your emperor choose?"
Li Hongyu smiled and looked at the emperor: "You don't have many days left to exercise your imperial power. Why don't you choose one, her, her, or her!"
Every time Li Hongyu pointed his hand at a woman, that woman trembled more violently and cried louder.
Two of them kept kowtowing, and even when their heads were bleeding, they still refused to stop.
"Please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life..."
"No, no, I don't want to die..."
Li Hongyu turned to look at the emperor: "Pick one."
The emperor simply closed his eyes and ignored Li Hongyu.
Li Hongyu shrugged: "Is it difficult to choose? Haha... In that case, let them go together, so that they can keep each other company."
Hearing this, the concubines were immediately furious and cried for help one after another.
"No, Your Majesty, I don't want to die yet..."
"Your Majesty, please save me, please save me. I have just turned twenty years old, I cannot die..."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
"My Lord, please spare my life..."
"Spare your life, spare your life..."
Li Hongyu scratched his ears and said, "Choose, one of us should die, or let them die together."
The emperor slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze slowly swept over the concubines. The concubines also looked at the emperor with expectant eyes.
After reading it, he slowly closed his eyes again.
Li Hongyu curled his lips and said, "You have also seen that your emperor wants you to go on the journey together."
"Woooooooo..."
"Ah... ah ah..."
Some concubines collapsed on the ground, while others fainted directly.
"It's not that I don't know how to be gentle with women, it's really your emperor who hopes that you can die together."
"But you don't have to be afraid. After the next stick of incense, the Imperial Concubine will also be there to accompany you."
Upon hearing that the next one would be his mother, Li Hongting clenched his fists.
