Chapter 663: Chapter 664 - Leaving you with an intact corpse_1

After his laughter subsided, Qin Kun began to vent his anger, "It was to no avail that I supported your accession to the throne when you were just ten. Now that you’ve grown up, have your wings hardened? You dare to bite the hand that feeds you. What do you think of yourself? Do you believe that, with that unsightly creature supporting you, you can secure your reign? Hmph, without me, Dajin will eventually fall."

The Emperor listened to Qin Kun’s words from beginning to end, his face stern, as if he were observing a stray dog.

He wouldn’t be able to talk for much longer.

Only after Qin Kun finished did the Emperor finally respond indifferently, "This may be the last time I address you as Uncle Qin. Yes, you did support my ascension to the throne. But once I became the Emperor, you should have behaved like a minister. I tolerated your repeated interference in state affairs. But you shouldn’t have built your private palace and conspired against me. Hence, this is the path you’ve chosen for yourself."

Qin Kun suddenly looked up, "The palace? Hehe, you knew about the palace too, who told you?"

The Emperor remained silent.

"Was it that exceedingly ugly man, wasn’t it?" Qin Kun’s voice escalated again.

"So, you admit it, don’t you?"

"Heh, indeed, that’s the truth. So what? What do you plan to do with me?"

The Emperor still appeared cool and collected, "What death do you prefer, Qin? In light of your role in my ascension, I’ll allow for the preservation of your corpse."

"How dare you?" Only then did Qin Kun stand up, dragging his shackles towards the Emperor, but he couldn’t get close due to their length. "You wish to kill me? But what about your mother? She... she would be distressed."

As he spoke, a hint of a smile crossed Qin Kun’s face. "After all, all these years, it was I who indulged her, loved her, nourished her. Do you wish to break her heart?"

The Emperor’s chest heaved, his fists clenched, but he managed to refrain from lashing out.

"Thank you for caring so much about my mother, Qin, but it is my duty to care for my mother. You need not trouble yourself. Now think about what kind of death you choose." With that, the Emperor prepared to turn away.

"Wait!" Qin Kun stopped the Emperor. "That hideously ugly man, did you plant him in Fuxian County, beside Song Cheng from the beginning?"

The Emperor halted, then turned away coldly, "No!"

After a pause, the Emperor added, "But, I see him as a great general given to me by heaven, and from now on, I am sure to make good use of him."

...

These days, security in Vanjin County was extremely strict.

Many roads that used to be open to the outside world were now sealed off.

But the road to Xingya Village in Xingya Town was now open. That was a plague-ridden village, closed for over two years. No one had expected it to be accessible now.

The Emperor’s carriage proceeded slowly into the village, followed by horses ridden by guards, county officials and over a thousand soldiers.

And the Emperor’s expression was solemn, casting a silent and heavy atmosphere over the entire entourage.

Upon entering the village and turning a corner, Ye Ge reported from the side, "Your Majesty, we have arrived!"

Ye Ge dismounted first, and soon the Emperor also descended from his carriage. As the Emperor gazed upon the scene before him, he was overtaken by such a surge of frustration that he nearly choked.

Although this palace remained incomplete, judging by its outline, it was likely to surpass his own palace in size and grandeur once completed.
