The Deadly Hitwoman: The Heiress's Special Abilities

Chapter 437: Chapter 437: Father and Son Bonds (Part 2)

The Crown Prince’s every word is like pearls, utterly ruthless, accusing one person after another of narrow-mindedness and lacking magnanimity. Yet, how can he tolerate others snoring beside his bed!

What awaits him if he makes a careless mistake?

Exactly the current predicament!

”Hahaha!” The Crown Prince laughed out loud, with tears streaming down his face: ”So, Father, tell me, what should your son do!”

”So you sent people to assassinate your biological father?” Su Yaogeng could no longer bear to listen. She never imagined that her brother’s kind-heartedness was seen by the Crown Prince as a chance for others to threaten his position.

The Crown Prince was stunned, looking at Su Yaogeng in disbelief.

Su Yaogeng said coldly: ”You don’t need to look at me. We all know you did this! Yet even so, Brother did not intend to punish you. If not for your refusal to repent, choosing this path, how could you end up in today’s predicament! You keep saying we threaten you, but I would like to ask you, as your aunt, in what way have I threatened you!”

”You claim Yun Peng is wealthy, has a father-son relationship with the fourth brother, and could help him rebel anytime. But do you know that Yun Peng is the heir to the largest sect in the Spirit Cultivation Realm? He doesn’t care for your throne and never thought of staying long in the Capital City. He only occasionally returns for a short stay because Brother and I helped him years ago! He can leave anytime and has no reason to come back! You also said I’m just a woman, so how could I pose any threat to you? Could I overthrow you and become the Emperor myself? Considering I have no sons and daughters, is it necessary for me to do this?”

”If I had a son, you might say I’m ambitious. But I only have Jing’er, my daughter, whom I married to Yun Peng. Why? Because I want Yun Peng to take her to the Spirit Cultivation Realm, away from the strife here! None of us ever thought to become your enemy. Why do you have this conviction that we obstruct you? If you ask what my plan is, it is simply to live a few peaceful days. After all, I am married to Marquis Qing’an, and I cannot disregard his family. But tell me, do you plan to spare those innocent people?”

Su Yaogeng shook her head, sighing: ”Your own evil intentions, yet claim to be coerced — it’s truly laughable. If we genuinely wanted to act against you, there’s no need for us to do it ourselves. We could easily find someone to create some accidents for you. Do you think you could escape? It’s not that we look down on you, but as the Crown Prince, lacking even a bit of tolerance, how can you govern the world?”

At this moment, the Emperor also couldn’t help but say: ”To be honest, Ming’er, if your Imperial Uncle or aunt had even a shred of ambition for power, even if it meant committing the greatest offense, I would willingly hand them the throne. Why would I endure assassination attempts in my old age by my own son? I’m telling you so much today, even revealing palace secrets, because even now I refuse to believe that the son I painstakingly raised would put a knife to my throat! You understand everything now, know everything, so tell me, do you know where you went wrong? At this point, I really want to hear if you have anything else to say?”
