I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

boom!

In the Cold Palace, there is a palace that has long been abandoned.

Emperor Xuan, stripped of his dragon robe, was roughly thrown inside by two soldiers.

Since becoming emperor, Emperor Xuan lived a life of ease, with everything done for him, and he never even had a scratch on his body.

He was roughly thrown in, and with multiple abrasions all over his body, he couldn't help but cry out in pain.

Slumped to the ground, Emperor Xuan pointed at the soldiers at the door: "You two just wait, I will exterminate your entire clan sooner or later!"

The two soldiers exchanged a glance, both with their noses in the air, and said with a smile:

"You dare call yourself 'I, the Emperor'? You're nothing but a deposed emperor."

"You want to exterminate our entire clan? We'll kill you when no one's looking, and nobody'll even know!"

"Behave yourselves and don't even think about running away. Our people are everywhere, inside and outside the palace!"

"Let's go."

With a wave of his hand, two soldiers locked the palace gates from the outside and left.

Presumably, the previous dynasty's victory celebration banquet has already begun, and they should hurry over to attend, perhaps even managing to get a cup of imperial wine.

Emperor Xuan, who had fallen to the ground, looked at the scrapes on his hands, blew on them gently, and frowned in pain.

He tucked a few stray white hairs behind his ears before slowly getting up from the ground.

Looking at the tightly locked palace gates before him, Emperor Xuan couldn't help but curse:

"I am only in a temporary predicament. I will rise again one day. You traitors and rebels, just you wait!"

After saying that, he walked deeper into the palace.

However, all that met the eye was endless desolation.

The weeds grew to be more than half a person tall, and mosquitoes flew everywhere.

He finally managed to wade through the courtyard overgrown with weeds, and the living quarters were in even worse condition.

The roof had several large holes, and the corners of the walls were covered with cobwebs.

When Emperor Xuan entered, there were still several rats running around in the room.

Emperor Xuan had never lived in such a place before, and he couldn't help but curse angrily.

Emperor Xuan stopped cursing when he was tired of it.

He held his lower back and panted for a while.

Just then, a noise came from the direction of the courtyard gate, as if someone was unlocking the door.

Emperor Xuan was immediately overjoyed. It must be someone who was still loyal to him, who had secretly come to rescue him while Qin Li's men were holding a victory banquet in the front hall.

They've come at the perfect time. They can leave the palace together, find a place to settle down, and slowly make plans to make a comeback.

Thinking of this, Emperor Xuan turned around and walked through the courtyard where the wild grass was half a person tall.

With a creak, the palace gates opened.

The joy on Emperor Xuan's face froze on his face.

Because the person who came was not there to save him.

It was Qin Han, the King of Jiang, his second son.

"What are you doing here!"

Emperor Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, speaking with great displeasure.

If he had known this would happen, he should have killed this bastard and his mother back then.

It's unlikely that this bastard child would come back and conspire with Qin Li to deceive him.

He even thought this bastard was a master of Buddhism and appointed him as the Grand Preceptor of the Zhou Dynasty.

Qin Han didn't say anything, but clenched his fist and punched Xuan Di hard in the face.

Emperor Xuan, with his old bones, could hardly withstand a punch from the strong and powerful Qin Han.

He was immediately knocked to the ground by a punch and couldn't get up for a long time.

When I looked again, half of her cheek was swollen and red, and blood was flowing from the corner of her mouth.

After finishing, Qin Han clasped his hands together in prayer:

"Please calm down, benefactor. This humble monk has come to stay with you."

Emperor Xuan was furious and pointed at Qin Han, yelling, "You little brat, how dare you hit me?"

Qin Han ignored him completely, looked around at the surroundings, and said:

"Benefactor, you should stop talking nonsense. It's getting late, so you should quickly prepare a place, otherwise you won't even have a place to sleep tonight."

After saying that, Qin Han followed the path that Emperor Xuan had paved and entered the palace.

When Emperor Xuan got up from the ground and returned to the palace, Qin Han had already cleaned up a corner.

"Tell me, did Qin Li send you?"

Emperor Xuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and questioned him.

It must have been Qin Li who sent Qin Han to keep an eye on him and monitor him.

Qin Han didn't speak, but simply sat on the ground, crossed his legs, and closed his eyes to meditate.

After thinking for a moment, Emperor Xuan said, "It seems Qin Li doesn't treat you very well either. Today, as the new emperor ascends the throne, he bestows great rewards upon his meritorious officials, and you, this meritorious official, are actually staying here with me?"

"Second brother, don't forget, Qin Li killed the third and sixth brothers. You have the dual identity of a regional king and a disciple of the Buddha. As long as you raise your banner, you will be able to command a hundred followers. Qin Li must be wary of you."

"That's why they sent you here. What do you call this? Discarding the donkey after it's done its work. You're that donkey, a stupid donkey!"

"Second Prince, listen to me, while Qin Li is holding a victory banquet in the front hall, let's escape together..."

Qin Han couldn't listen any longer, opened his eyes, and said:

"You really are overthinking things. To tell you the truth, I wasn't sent by my elder brother; I came of my own volition."

"Did you come voluntarily?"

Emperor Xuan couldn't understand it.

As a meritorious official, Qin Han should be in the front hall drinking and celebrating with Qin Li.

Why would she come here on her own initiative? Was it just to see him make a fool of himself?

"Back then, you tricked me into poisoning my mother with my own hands when I was young. I have never forgotten this blood debt. I wish I could poison you right now to avenge my mother."

"But I just changed my mind. Poisoning you would be too easy on you. I'm going to torture you severely to avenge my mother!"

"You won't die right away. You have several more years to live. I'll live with you for those years, and I'll use every means to torture you. That punch just now was only the beginning of my torture. I hope you can hold on."

Upon hearing these words, Emperor Xuan couldn't help but take a step back:

"Are you crazy? You'd go to this extent for a woman!"

Qin Han couldn't help but raise his voice: "In your heart, Mother Consort is of course just a woman, but in my heart, she is my everything!"

After saying that, Qin Han shouted, "Aren't you going to tidy up your sleeping place tonight? Are you waiting for me to clean it up for you?"

Emperor Xuan remained silent, only taking one last look at Qin Han before finding a relatively clean place to sit down.

tidy?

What a joke.

He was the emperor; how could he have personally done such a thing?

Even if it existed, it was decades ago.

He's long forgotten about it, and he's even less likely to do it now.

Time passed by, and darkness gradually fell.

During this time, someone opened the gates of the Cold Palace again and brought in a bag of dried biscuits and a pot of water.

However, it wasn't for both of them, but for Qin Han alone.

As the sun sets, the temperature gradually decreases.

Qin Han went to the overgrown courtyard and found some firewood. He lit a small fire in the hall and started eating flatbread with water.

In the corner, Emperor Xuan was already starving.

Looking at the pancake in Qin Han's hand, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

And as time passed second by second.

He was cold and hungry, and couldn't help but rub his hands together vigorously.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he walked over to Qin Han.

Before he could speak, Qin Han said, "If you want to eat, you can, but first clean the entire hall."
