On our wedding day, I castrated my fiancée's white moonlight.

Ye Fan laughed and said, "Your Majesty, do you really want me to die?"

Upon seeing that it was Ye Fan, Li Fuyuan was no longer afraid: "Impossible! The Quanrong King has an army of 300,000. If you really went to rescue people, how could you possibly have survived?"

"Was this a backup plan Ye Zhengrong left for you? He really didn't truly intend to give me the throne! He still had a backup plan!"

"If that's the case, why did you make me emperor in the first place? Why?!"

Li Fuyuan roared wildly!

Ye Fan shook his head: "Li Fuyuan, you're overthinking it!"

"I never wanted to be an emperor! If you hadn't relentlessly pressured me, how could I have ended up like this?"

"I'm here today only to ask you a few questions!"

"What's the problem?"

Li Fuyuan raised his head, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.

Ye Fan asked directly, "My father, is he not dead?"

Upon hearing this, Li Fuyuan's eyes narrowed: "Have you heard something?"

"My dad's really not dead?"

Ye Fan strode forward!

He rushed to Li Fuyuan and reached out to grab his arm!

"Go to hell!"

Li Fuyuan suddenly launched a sneak attack, thrusting his dagger directly at Ye Fan's neck. Ye Fan remained unmoved, showing no intention of dodging!

The dagger was about to pierce Ye Fan's throat, the moment it would slit his throat!

"Hahaha... Ye Fan, you were too careless, die..."

A crisp, metallic clang!

The first level of the Dragon Blood Body Technique grants invincibility for a single breath!

"How...how could you...?"

Li Fuyuan was so frightened that he stepped back, and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter. His whole body was trembling!

"You really are skilled in martial arts!"

Even though Li Fuyuan had long heard that Ye Fan could cultivate martial arts!

But seeing it with my own eyes brought a different kind of shock: "Ye Fan, you actually dare to disregard the restrictions of ancient martial arts families and cultivate martial arts?"

"Aren't you afraid of dying?"

Ye Fan narrowed his eyes: "The ancient martial arts family you mentioned, is it that reclusive family, the Ye family?"

Li Fuyuan was taken aback, then suddenly realized: "So you knew!"

Ye Fan asked, "Is my father at the Ye family's house?"

Li Fuyuan was taken aback.

Immediately.

Laughed!

"Haha...it seems you know a little bit, but not much!" Li Fuyuan's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Kneel down! Beg me!"

"I might take pity on you and tell you something..."

"court death!"

Ye Fan's eyes darkened!

With a wave of his hand, he retrieved a pair of silver needles from the chaotic space and, following the acupuncture point chart of the Thirteen Ghost Needles, inserted them into Li Fuyuan's body!

"ah--!"

Li Fuyuan immediately let out a bloodcurdling scream, like a pig being slaughtered, and writhed wildly on the ground like a dead dog struggling!

In an instant, my whole body was soaked in sweat!

"Ye Fan, spare me... please spare me! I know I was wrong..."

Ye Fan removed the silver needles from Li Fuyuan's body, his eyes cold as if looking at a dead man: "Li Fuyuan! You should know that silver needles can save lives, but they can also kill!"

"I guarantee that if you lie to me again, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything..."

Li Fuyuan nodded in horror!

Huddled in a corner!

His eyes were filled with fear!

Those few silver needles were even more painful than being plunged into the deepest hell, a true living hell, causing all his mental defenses to collapse in an instant!

"First, is my father still alive?"

"I have no idea……"

"Um?"

Ye Fan gripped the silver needles tightly!

Li Fuyuan cried out in terror, "Ah! I really don't know!"

"It seems Ye Zhengrong offended someone! Ten years ago, someone suddenly broke into the palace in the middle of the night and threatened me, forcing me to send Ye Zhengrong to the northern border to fight against the Quanrong tribe. And then... Ye Zhengrong was defeated! Some say he died in the northern border, but I really don't know. Since then, Ye Zhengrong has completely disappeared!"

Ye Fan remained silent for a moment.

Of course he remembered it, it was a rainy night ten years ago.

My father hurriedly went to war and never returned!

"What's the story behind the reclusive Ye family?"

"You really don't know?"

"nonsense!"

"Ye Zhengrong comes from the reclusive Ye family! Thirty years ago, we joined the army together! At that time, I was just an ordinary farm boy. After joining the army, I became your father's subordinate. After several years of fighting, we saved a woman on the battlefield..."

"woman?"

"Your mother!"

"My mother?"

Ye Fan's breath hitched!

He has never seen his mother since he can remember! In both his past and present lives, he knows very little about his mother.

even.

When asked, all nine concubines refused to speak.

Ye Fan initially thought that the nine concubines were jealous! But later he realized that it wasn't that simple!

In the Ye family, the mother seemed to be a taboo subject! No one was allowed to mention her!

"Who is my mother?"

"She was an extraordinary woman! I, too, once presumptuously fell in love with her, but unfortunately, she only had eyes for Ye Zhengrong! Later, it was because of her that Ye Zhengrong gave up the throne!" Li Fuyuan smiled bitterly, about to continue, "Her name was..."

Ye Fan pricked up his ears!

Whoosh-!

A sound of something cutting through the air came rushing in!

Immediately afterwards, with a "poof" sound, a blood-red hole appeared between Li Fuyuan's eyebrows.

It entered through his brow and exited through the back of his head! Then, with a 'thud,' it disappeared into the wall behind him!

"Who?"

Ye Fan roared!

They chased after him, and the hundred imperial guards who saw Ye Fan immediately asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"Have you seen anyone?" Ye Fan asked.

"No!"

Everyone shook their heads!

Ye Fan took a step and scaled the wall of the side hall. He looked in the direction from which the hidden weapon had come, but the place was already empty; there was no one there!

Left with no other choice, they had to return to the side hall!

Li Fuyuan is dead!

His body lay on the ground, his fingertips stained with blood, and before he died, he left behind two words: Xuanyuan!

"Xuanyuan? Is he related to my mother?"

Ye Fan frowned.

"Master! The person who made the move is a hundred feet away. Do you want to take a look?"

The voice of the Chaos Cauldron echoed in my mind.

"What do you think?" Ye Fan asked in surprise.

next second.

An image suddenly appeared in Ye Fan's mind!

A hundred feet away from the side hall, a woman with a blurry figure was playing with a bullet in her hand.

Suddenly, the woman's expression changed. With a flick of her slender fingers, the bullet flew out and pierced through Li Fuyuan's head in the side hall, a hundred feet away!

"hiss!"

Ye Fan gasped!

A hundred feet away, a single bullet can pierce a human skull—its power is comparable to a sniper rifle! That's terrifying!

We walked out of the side hall.

Apart from Lin Baichuan and the hundred imperial guards of the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion, Li Chengqian and all the other civil and military officials were kneeling outside the side hall!

Nalan Fengyun also arrived and knelt beside Li Chengqian!

Nalan Fengyun raised his head, his aged eyes filled with a complex emotion: "Prince Zhenbei, Your Majesty, how are you?"

"Li Fuyuan has committed suicide!"

Ye Fan said calmly.

If he told everyone that someone had secretly attacked and killed Li Fuyuan, they probably wouldn't believe him! He couldn't be bothered to explain; a simple statement of suicide would suffice!

really.

Everyone was stunned!

"Father!"

Li Chengqian knelt on the ground and frantically kowtowed towards the side hall!

An imperial censor cried out, "Your Highness! Please accept my condolences!"

"A country cannot be without a ruler for a single day. Now that His Majesty has passed away, we beseech Your Highness the Crown Prince to succeed to the throne!"

"Yes, yes, Your Highness, please inherit the throne!"

Upon seeing this, the other civil and military officials quickly echoed, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

They all kowtowed to Li Chengqian!

Li Chengqian suppressed his grief, a flicker of excitement flashing deep in his eyes. He began to speak, "My esteemed ministers are right. Everything must be for the sake of the nation. I..."

Ye Fan immediately interrupted him!

"Li Chengqian, do I agree to let you become emperor?"
