Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat! Chapter 518: Finale of the Cannon Fodder Vase in the Schemin

"Continue reading."

The imperial edict had been read up to this point, and the emperor’s throne had already beco Chu Yunxuan’s. All the other princes had gradually aligned themselves with Chu Yunxuan. No one expected that in the end, he would truly be the one to win.

The Emperor’s decree holds the highest power; what room is left for struggle?

But Chu Yunci remained calm and composed.

"I demand you, continue reading."

Chu Yunxuan looked at him and gave a cold smile.

He had already won. Once he ascended to the throne, he would make Chu Yunci’s life worse than death.

He would make everyone who betrayed him regret ever coming into this world!

"The remaining decree states that everything is subject to one matter: should I pass, the children at my side shall not... ascend the throne."

Upon hearing this, the chief eunuch trembled and looked nervously at Chu Yunxuan kneeling before him, each word seeming targeted at him.

"The princes understand His Majesty’s will.

The princes who were beside His Majesty last night shall not ascend the throne."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunxuan thought there must be sothing wrong with his ears.

He suddenly stood up, snatched the decree from the eunuch’s hand, and stared at it in shock, reading it over and over.

The last few lines seed to tear him apart piece by piece.

"Father... Father would never... This is fake, this edict must be fake! I don’t believe it!! I refuse to believe it!!"

After saying this, Chu Yunxuan attempted to tear the edict apart, but it was written on silk and couldn’t be torn. Before he could succeed, the guards on both sides had already restrained him.

All the princes erupted in chaos, asking in unison.

"So what did Father actually say in the end?"

Being restrained, Chu Yunxuan frantically looked at Chu Yunci, shouting.

"The edict is fake! The edict is fake! Chu Yunci, you will die a horrible death! How dare you falsify the decree! Father won’t spare you!!"

The eunuch shakily recited the remaining portion.

"If... if Yunxuan cannot hold the throne, then the throne... shall be inherited by the eldest son."

The eldest son, that is, the Eldest Prince, Chu Yunheng.

In other words, it was the Second Prince’s puppet, Chu Yunheng.

The situation was settled; Chu Yunci was helped to his feet and seated back in the wheelchair.

The Eldest Prince still seed to be dreaming, sleepwalking as he took the edict, and then walked over to Chu Yunci, lowering his head humbly before him.

"Second Brother, am I really going to be Emperor?"

Chu Yunci reached out, and Chu Yunheng imdiately lowered his head, allowing him to pat his shoulder.

"Yes, Eldest Brother, you are the eldest, the throne rightfully belongs to you."

"Chu Yunci!! Even as a ghost, I won’t let you go!"

Chu Yunxuan’s voice ca from the side. After experiencing great joy and sorrow, he seed utterly deranged, clearly ntally unstable from the shock.

In front of the brothers and ministers, Chu Yunci smiled faintly.

"Eighth Brother, we are all brothers; how could you say such a thing? No wonder Father left a final decree to guard against soone like you who resorts to extre asures."

After saying this, he signaled the person pushing his wheelchair to move forward.

Coming before Chu Yunxuan, anyone would feel chilled by his vengeful, blood-red gaze.

However, Chu Yunci only looked at him with interest and whispered.

"Be a ghost? Rest assured, I will see to it that you can’t even beco a ghost."

None of those who betrayed and hard him would escape.

The Eldest Prince ascended the throne, and the Second Prince, Chu Yunci, was imdiately appointed as the Regent King to supervise and manage all matters of the court.

The true power in the end still fell into Chu Yunci’s hands.

The world had settled; it was now ti to deal with the remaining factions.

Chu Yunxuan was captured on his escape route.

And the one who betrayed him was Zhao Ziyuan, the person he once trusted most.

No one in the world knew better than Zhao Ziyuan where Chu Yunxuan would hide in the end.

It was the tunnel in the Cold Palace, the place they had dug together back then, ant for a day to save their lives.

Chu Yunxuan hid inside, waiting for the day to ascend the throne and escape when the world is open.

Unfortunately, just the night before the coronation, he was caught before and after in the tunnel, pitifully resembling a rat being carried out by its limbs.

Zhao Ziyuan stood outside, her face full of hatred.

Spring Niang, who hid inside with Chu Yunxuan, was also captured.

Looking at her swelling belly, Zhao Ziyuan’s eyes were filled with venomous hatred, her expression cold and terrifying.

Chu Yunxuan, brought back, no longer cared for anything, silent from start to finish, indifferent to Spring Niang’s cries for help beside him.

His heart was dead, utterly indifferent, thinking only of ending his life quickly, to put an end to it all.

Of course, Zhao Ziyuan would not let him have his wish.

However, the final decision on how to deal with him rested with Chu Yunci.

After bringing back the people, Chu Yunci, who always made sure to eliminate threats at the root, left Spring Niang and her unborn child alive.

As for Chu Yunxuan, death wouldn’t co so easily for him. Chu Yunci had him locked back in the Imperial Mausoleum, only this ti he was treated worse than before. The mausoleum now had a Water Prison, where he was imprisoned, dark and damp without daylight, and Chu Yunxuan was kept inside with his hands, feet, and mouth bound, unable to live or die.

As for Zhao Ziyuan, when she went to Chu Yunci for recognition, she was dismissed with a simple phrase.

"Go to the Imperial Mausoleum and watch over Chu Yunxuan; only when he dies, will you return."

Zhao Ziyuan was unwilling, that dreadful place cast a shadow in her heart; how could she possibly want to return, to face Chu Yunxuan’s ghostly half-human face.

But Chu Yunci gave her no chance whatsoever.

Despite her pleading to offer her dical skills, Chu Yunci remained unmoved. Having used her, he discarded her, throwing her directly into the mausoleum.

Thus, the two returned to their starting point.

Chu Yunci ordered that Chu Yunxuan should die of natural causes.

But he also decreed that only when Chu Yunxuan dies, Zhao Ziyuan may return.

So, forr lovers had beco enemies; Zhao Ziyuan wished day and night for Chu Yunxuan’s prompt death, torturing him without end.

Once all was over, they returned to the court.

Grand Tutor Jiang was once again elevated, becoming the Right Minister.

Second in command, above all others.

Jiang Lai’s mission was complete, and life finally eased up.

But when Chu Yunci summoned her again, Jiang Lai had already packed her things and run away.

This flattery no longer needed to be paid; she now wanted to find a place where no one was, to live peacefully until life ended.

However, just after a few days of such life, Chu Yunci ca looking for her.

The man sat in his wheelchair, with cold eyes.

"I fulfilled all your requests, left Spring Niang and her daughter alive, left Chu Yunxuan alive, everything you wanted to spare, I spared.

What? You’re ungrateful and want to run away?"

Jiang Lai chuckled.

"You’re a busy man, Your Highness, and I’m no use to you. Better for to stay out of your way."

"You’re not in the way."

Chu Yunci looked at her with deep eyes.

"I didn’t treat my legs just to help you exact revenge.

Afterward, you shall be my legs.

You must go wherever I go.

Return with ."

Jiang Lai was helpless.

What did he see in her?
