Chapter 70 - Retribution (5) (1/2)

Xiang Ren's forehead was sweating. He was about to deny it when he felt a painful sensation within his body. But the weird thing was, he couldn't speak nor move. His body was frozen like a rock. The pain on his body didn't help at all, it was growing intensely as time goes by.

Yi Ling set her cup down on the table. She then waved her sleeve underneath the table.

Xiang Ren sat up right and looked at Yi Ling. "Yes, indeed it was one of it." He admittedly replied.

The Emperor spitted his tea out this time. He looked at his brother. He couldn't believe that his brother just admitted his secret outright to a stranger!

Seeing Xiang Ren's reply, Yi Ling asked again. "Where you the one who poisoned the Crown Prince?"

The Emperor stood up instantly. "What kind of nonsense are you spouting? Even if you're from a high-ranked kingdom, doesn't mean you can wildly accuse my little brother on harming my son!" This really set his nerves. How dare he?! he thought. But before he can say anything else, someone else spoke.

"Yes, it was indeed me. Tsk. If it wasn't for you, Xiang He would've died in a couple of days!" Xiang Ren crossed his arms together and stared at Yi Ling rudely.

"Xiang Ren!" The Emperor was stunned. His little brother poisoned his son?! What the heck was this? Is someone pulling his legs right now?? He accidentally knocked his cup off the table. It made a loud crashing sound.

"It was all because of you, my dear big brother!" Xiang Ren glared at the Emperor.

"I was fine with you ascending the throne, but you just had to marry my beloved! You stole my princess away! the Empress should've been my wife!"

The Emperor was stunned. He couldn't phantom the things that his little brother was saying.

"Beloved? For what I know, I met the Empress before you did and we've been in love before you even came to the picture!" He clenched his fist.

"Tsk. She fell in love with me when she met me. She just couldn't get away from you harassing her and forcing her to marry you!" Xiang Ren stood up and slammed his fist on to the table.

"Nonsense! The Empress have never loved you! She was only kind toward you because you were family!" The Emperor didn't like that his brother was accusing his late wife. Was this line of thought always there? He looked at Doctor Yi. He started all these.

"Uncle, Did you kill my mother?" Xiang He decided to ask the real question. His face was already red when his uncle admitted his involvement in his previous predicament.

Xiang Ren smirked, "That slut deserves to die! She dared give birth to someone else's child! If I couldn't have her, neither can you my dear big brother! HAHAHAHA!" He laughed evilly.

The Emperor's eyes was getting red and his veins was getting evident. "WHAT!? REPEAT WHAT YOU JUST SAID!!" He wanted to confirm it again, he was still able to hold his anger in check. It was his little brother after all. He doted on him so much!
