Chapter 496 - Princess Zi Didn“t Satisfy You? (1/2)

The emperor glared at him. “Are you threatening me?”

Though he had always been overshadowed by Feng Qingtian, Feng Qingtian was respectful to him on the surface and had never talked like this to him before.

This was downright regicide!

This was the opposite of what he had expected. Shouldn’t Prince Zi be apologizing and begging for his forgiveness?

Why had Prince Zi suddenly changed his att.i.tude?

Had he learned of THAT matter?

“I’m told that you’re unwilling to name me the crown prince. I could’ve waited another few years, but now that I’m going to have a baby, it seems unreasonable that I’m still not on the throne. What do you think?”

“Hehe… Prince Zi, Are you threatening me? Do you know the consequences of your actions?”

“I don’t like threats. I need this throne right now. If you’re smart and abdicate, I guarantee that you and your offspring will enjoy eternal impunity. n.o.body will ever take advantage of you.”

Feng Qingtian had planned to kill the second prince.

But this was an eventful period, and it might not be a bad idea to keep the man alive.

He wouldn’t have met Gu Bailu had it not been for the second prince’s folly. From that perspective, the second prince had even done him a favor.

“You’re obviously coercing me. While I’m not as strong as you, I still have the backbone of an emperor.”

Feng Qingtian glared at him coldly. “So it’s non-negotiable?”

It was easy for him to kill the emperor, but according to the traditions of the royal family, n.o.body who committed regicide could inherit the throne.

He could pressure the man to hand over the crown, but he couldn’t use violence.

Feng Qingtian was quite gloomy about this.

However, while he couldn’t kill the emperor, he could still kill the people the emperor cared about.
