Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2800 The Prince is Exiled and Removed from the Imperial Clan

Li Xiang's furious roar echoed in the hall. The young prince, who had already turned around and was ready to accept his fate of being imprisoned, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He wasn't afraid of being imprisoned; when he decided to do this with the Crown Prince, he was already prepared for failure.

Not to mention being imprisoned, he was even prepared to be given the Three Corpses White Ling by his father, the emperor.

Throughout history, those who rebelled and failed never had a good ending, even if they were the emperor's son!

However, the words "Jiaofangsi" completely shattered all of Li Ju's previous stubbornness and defiance.

His face turned deathly pale instantly, but a terrifying flame ignited in his eyes, which resembled Li Xiang's when he was young.

Perhaps, to the emperor, Lady Qin was insignificant, merely the daughter of a minor eighth-rank censor.

But she was everything to him!

He could choose to die himself, and he wouldn't care how the emperor punished him. But he absolutely could not tolerate her suffering even the slightest harm, especially not being sent to a place like that!

He suddenly turned around!
"Father!"

The young prince Li Ju's voice was no longer clear and bright, but trembled with disbelief as he asked, "What did you say?"

Li Xiang was already furious, and seeing Li Ju's pathetic reaction only fueled his rage. He roared, "I say! Throw that vile maid who bewitched the prince into the brothel and make her a prostitute forever!"

"Didn't you hear that?"

"Bewitchment? Lowly servant?"

Li Xiang repeated the two words, then suddenly chuckled softly, a laugh filled with anger.

"How could she have bewitched me? It is I who love her! It is I who do not wish to betray her! It is all my own choice. What does it have to do with her? What does it have to do with her family?"

"Father! You are taking your anger out on your son! You are using the innocence and life of a weak woman to punish a son you cannot fully control! Is this your way of ruling?"

At this moment, Li Ju completely disregarded the so-called difference between father and son, and the so-called discussion between ruler and subject.

He pointed directly at Li Xiang with both fingers, making no attempt to conceal the meaning in his words.

"How dare you! How I act is none of your business! Since she is the root of all evil, she should be eliminated!" Li Xiang said, his chest heaving violently and his face turning ashen.

"The root of the trouble?"

Li Ju's eyes turned completely cold, and he said with utmost resolve, "If she is the root of all evil, then the root lies with me!"

"If Father truly wishes to eliminate me, why not simply execute me in a public and just manner, dragging me out of the Meridian Gate and beheading me? Why resort to such despicable means, only to invite ridicule from the world for the magnanimity of the imperial family?"

"You!" Li Xiang was so speechless at his son's words that even his hand trembled as he pointed at him.

At this moment, Li Ju did not back down at all. His voice became unusually calm, but it was filled with unwavering determination.

"Today, your son has been defeated, and he is willing to accept any punishment."

"Whether Father Emperor intends to imprison me, strip me of my title, or even kill me, I will have no complaints. But..."

He paused, staring intently at Li Xiang, and said, word by word, "If she suffers the slightest humiliation because of me, if she is trapped in a place like the brothel, then I will commit suicide the moment I step out of this door today."

“Father!” The young prince Li Ju slightly curled the corners of his lips, revealing a bleak smile, with a hint of obsession and threat, and said once again, “You know, I say what I mean and I do what I say.”

"Do you want to exchange her innocence for my life, or would you rather exchange her safety for my life of me living a wretched existence in confinement?"

Li Ju was gambling with his own life, betting on the last bit of fatherly affection the emperor had for him, and on whether the emperor was really so heartless as to force his own son to his death at the same time!
Li Xiang was completely stunned. He looked at his youngest son and saw the undisguised determination and madness in his eyes.

Li Xiang had no doubt that if he really sent the Qin family's daughter to the brothel, his pampered son would immediately be killed!
A chill rose in my heart, replacing the anger from before, but it was replaced by a sense of defeat.

He won the world, but it seems he could never win against his own son.

One used the country and its people to rebel against him. The other used his life and love to threaten him.

Great! That's really great!

These kids are truly worthy of being his good sons!

"The Qin family shall be exterminated, except for the women. The men shall be executed and the women shall be sent to the Ministry of Education to be forced into prostitution forever."

"Li Ju, get out of here."

"Take the Qin woman and exile her to the Kingdom of Tai! From this day forward, you are no longer my son, and your name will no longer appear in the family genealogy. I never want to see you again in my life!" The emperor, his anger now subsided, spoke with utter indifference.

The young prince Li Ju swayed and collapsed to the ground, powerless. He had won the gamble, but he had also lost it.

The emperor released the woman from the Qin family and even sent her directly to his side.

However, this also completely exhausted the emperor's remaining affection.

The emperor is ruthless; their affection for his family is always limited. Once it's used up, it's truly gone. Even one's own son and wife, in the emperor's eyes, only have slightly more affection than others.

Once someone has exhausted all these sentiments, even a prince will no longer be facing his father, but a cold political machine.

Furthermore, the emperor is not so easy to threaten!
He threatened the emperor with his own life to protect the innocence of Lady Qin, but someone had to bear the emperor's wrath.

Therefore, Qin Zhen, the censor who was originally to be exiled, became the unlucky one to bear the emperor's wrath, and even his whole family was implicated.

The young prince Li Ju was enveloped by an overwhelming chill. The emperor threw Lady Qin next to him, both to fulfill his wishes and to punish him.

The emperor wanted to spend the rest of his life torturing each other with Lady Qin.

Just imagine, how will they face each other in the future?
Because of his rebellion, the Qin family has suffered such a calamity. How will the Qin family women view him in the future? And how can he still appear by the Qin family women's side without any distractions?

Li Xiang said nothing more. He turned around and let the guards below drag Li Ju, who had collapsed to the ground, away.

His youngest son had completely disappointed him.

Even if he rebelled, he could still forgive him. Even if he was punished, he was still a descendant of the imperial family, Li Xiang's son.

Li Xiang wouldn't blame him for his rebellious act; he would only blame him for failing to succeed despite his initial attempt.

However, Li Xiang would never allow his son to do this for a woman.

A man who debases himself for a woman is unworthy to be his son!
