Chapter 817 - 817: Disloyal Heart
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As for that baby girl and Xue Yan, Wei Zizhan had nothing more to tell him, so Prince Yi asked, “When will the Empress return?”
The Empress was pregnant again. What if it was another son?
Wouldn’t that mean more competition?
He had to take advantage of the fact that the Empress was still outside and there were few people protecting her. He had to quickly get rid of her so that this child could not be born at all.
It was best to get rid of the Empress so that she could no longer have children. Emperor Hao was infatuated and would not touch other women, so he naturally would not have other children.
“My mother… No, the Empress’s health isn’t good, and she can’t come back now. She would probably only come back after the confinement period and when her body completely recovers.” Wei Zizhan spoke.
“How many months is she pregnant?”
“Almost six months?”
Only six months? She still had to recuperate after giving birth, which meant that she would be away for quite a long time. That naturally gave him more opportunities to kill her.
However, now that something had happened to his maternal grandfather’s family, he only had a few men of sacrifice left. They had to do other things for him and protect him. He definitely did not have enough manpower. When he left the palace, he would have to find someone to help.
There were still many vassals who had disloyal hearts.
In his previous life, he didn’t have the ability to deal with those vassals. Later, he handed them all over to Xue Yan to deal with. Xue Yan cleaned them up for him. Presumably, after his death, Xue Yan would be able to help his son unify the world in a few years, allowing his son to be the Emperor.
He could make use of the disloyal hearts of these vassals to kill the people he wanted to kill.
If necessary, he could also make use of the other countries’ greed for Da Ling… There were plenty of ways to go around.
As long as he could ascend to the throne again, he would do anything to achieve it.
“You, will you really help me keep this secret?” Wei Zizhan was still so scared that he cried out again, but he still did not dare to be loud.
“Yes.” Not caring whether Wei Zizhan believed it or not, Prince Yi said, “But if anything happens in the future, you have to come and tell me. Also, you have to do whatever I ask you to do. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee your safety.”
Although he was unwilling to comply, Wei Zizhan could only say, “Got it.”
Even after Wei Zizhan left for a while, Prince Yi was still sitting on the bed, thinking about something.
He had something on Wei Zizhan, and Wei Zizhan still wanted to be the Crown Prince. Wei Zizhan would definitely listen to him and tell him everything. No matter how st*pid Wei Zizhan was, he would not tell anyone that he was threatening him.
Once Zizhan found out that he wasn’t the Crown Prince, with Wei Zizhan’s personality, in order to let Emperor Hao deal with him lightly, he would definitely confess that he had threatened him and asked those questions.
Therefore, if one day, Wei Zizhan was discovered by others that he was not the Crown Prince, they would have to kill Wei Zizhan.
Fortunately, he had been an Emperor in his previous life and knew the royal guards very well. Now that there was a royal guard among the people protecting Wei Zizhan, he knew his family situation. When he left the palace, he would get people to capture the royal guard’s family and threaten the royal guard. If anything happened, he would kill Wei Zizhan before Wei Zizhan gave him up.
Otherwise, he would have to kill the entire royal guard’s family.
That guard was still very filial. He had parents at home. If they were all captured by him, they would definitely do as he said. When the time came, they would kill Wei Zizhan and commit suicide so that no one can find out about it.
Of course, after the royal guard committed suicide, he would not keep his promise and release his entire family. He would kill them all to prevent future trouble..
