Chapter 1918: Yuwen Xuhong’s Explanation
However, with such an obvious relationship, why did Yuwen Xuhong believe him?
Yuwen Xuhong smiled bitterly.” At that time, I didn’t believe it. However, he told me that the Crown Prince is narrow-minded and doesn’t have the capacity to tolerate others. If he succeeds the throne, then those of us who have the Dragon Follower Technique might end up dying. He didn’t want to end up in such a miserable state. He wanted to gamble for the Zhou family’s wealth. He said that he felt that I was born to be an emperor, and he believed that I would give him a bright future.”
Lin Yuelan frowned and said in surprise,” You were convinced just like that?”
This simply made people speechless.
Such a big matter, such a big decision, and he was moved by such a few words. It was no wonder that he would make a deal with the enemy.
Yuwen Xuhong smiled bitterly and said, “I… I was blinded by jealousy and anger at that time, so I didn’t think too much about it and started working with him!”
However, what he never expected was that once he agreed, it was as if he had boarded a pirate ship and could not get off at all.
Even though he wanted to jump down, there was a sharp knife pointed at his neck.
In the end, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue working with Zhou Anping.
However, he kept comforting himself in his heart. He didn’t do it on purpose. He was forced. Someone forced him to do this.
Only by comforting himself like this did he feel less guilty.
In the end, he no longer needed to comfort himself. He had assumed that Yuwen Yanyu had stolen his position as Crown Prince, and everything he had done was to take back what belonged to him.
“Bastard!” Hearing Yuwen Xuhong’s absurd reason, the Emperor was especially furious.” Yuwen Xuhong, how can you face the Crown Prince Imperial Uncle who has always doted on you? Ah! I did say that I would give you the best things, but just like what the girl said, I want to give you freedom! Haha,”
At this point, the Emperor also sneered.” Do you know that I have never achieved this freedom in my entire life?”
The young him did not want to be the emperor at all. He wanted freedom, but he was forced to be the emperor.
If he didn’t become the emperor, then the person who became the emperor would take his life and the lives of his wife and children.
In order to survive, he had no choice but to step on tens of thousands of corpses and ascend to the throne of power.
However, once the throne was taken, it could no longer be abandoned. Otherwise, if it were snatched away, it would also be impossible to survive.
Sitting in that position, he was lonely.
However, he simply could not abandon such loneliness.
Ever since he went to Taoyuan Village, he wanted to be free again.
He thought that as long as he nurtured the Crown Prince well, when he matured, he would abdicate and let the Crown Prince take the throne. Then, he would be free.
Freedom had always been his pursuit.
Freedom had become the extravagant hope of the royal family.
Therefore, when he promised to give his eldest grandson the best things, he wanted to give him freedom so that he could live a peaceful, free, and happy life.
However, he had never expected that the emperor’s eldest grandson would do such an unexpected thing. He was too disappointed!
Yuwen Xuhong heard the Emperor’s reprimand, and his face turned a few shades paler. Regret and guilt filled his entire face.
However, everything was useless.
“Continue! When did you find out that Zhou Anping was a spy of the Longyan Dynasty?” the Emperor shouted sternly. “Why do you continue to work with him?”
