Emperor Shunde pointed at him with a sneer, and was so angry that he spoke for a long time, "You are the first of my sons who dares to speak to me like this."

"That's because you gave them life and raised them. They all owe you a debt of gratitude, but I don't."

Wen Heng said in a deep voice, "I don't have to be grateful for your kindness. I don't even have half the respect for you in my heart, so... I don't have to be like that."

"You are looking for death."

"You called me here just to kill me, didn't you?" Wen Heng sneered, "Even if I don't say these, won't I die?"

Emperor Shunde frowned, feeling that this boy was more and more difficult to deal with.

"I can kill you or not, it's just a matter of one year."

"You want to tell me that my life and death are up to you."

Emperor Shunde did not deny it. "Not only you, but I can decide the life and death of everyone in this world."

Wen Heng laughed, laughing at the emperor being too conceited.

"What are you laughing at? Do you think I can't do it?"

Wen Heng didn't say anything. There were some things he shouldn't ask.

"You are the emperor, how could you not do it?" Wen Heng asked back.

But there was no fear or submission in his eyes, but disdain.

This made Emperor Shunde very unhappy.

He didn't want to see such an expression in someone's eyes, especially when that person was his son.

"I think you still won't learn your lesson, so you just kneel here."

After saying this, Emperor Shunde walked away with his hands behind his back.

"No one should bother him. Let him reflect on himself."

Wen Heng sneered and said, Kneel?

He did nothing wrong, why should he kneel?

The imperial study was empty, not even a single person was left.

He scoffed.

……

When Emperor Shunde returned, it was already dark.

There was no lighting in the imperial study, as no one was allowed to enter, and it was pitch black.

With his coming in came light.

Wen Heng didn't kneel, but he didn't sit either, because the only place he could sit on was the dragon throne.

Emperor Shunde looked at Wen Heng, the candlelight gradually illuminating his face, "Wen Heng, I asked you to kneel, but you refused?"

"I don't think there's anything wrong, so there's no need to kneel."

"you……"

The eunuchs standing by were all worried for him. How could he be so bold?

He is really capable of openly challenging the emperor.

Emperor Shunde stared at the teacup and snacks, seeming to be lost in thought.

Wen Heng caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye and felt contempt.

"Come here, drag him away, give him twenty strokes of the cane, and ask him to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors. He is not allowed to step out of the door at all."

Wen Heng knew that this made it impossible for him to contact Wen Chun.

It seems that it is just as I expected.

The emperor knew it a long time ago.

"No need for you to drag me, I can walk by myself." Wen Heng said, striding away with his head held high.

Emperor Shunde stared at his back, thought for a moment, and then asked someone to bring in the imperial physician.

After a moment, the imperial physician said carefully, "Your Majesty, I have checked the snacks and tea."

"Say!"

"No poison."

The eunuch's eyes lit up and he seemed quite excited.

Emperor Shunde pondered for a moment and said, "Go down. Don't tell anyone about what happened today."

"The minister obeys the order."

Wen Chun gave him the medicine, which must be for use on himself. He also gave him a chance, but he didn't use it, which surprised Emperor Shunde.

He didn't like things that were out of his control.

So, he went to see Wen Heng again.

Wen Heng was lying on the bed, and as soon as he entered the room, he was hit by a strong smell of blood.

Emperor Shunde frowned.

It was definitely painful, but with the medicine Xia Zhiliao gave him, Wen Heng felt much more comfortable.

Wen Heng was not surprised at all when he saw the person coming, and even smiled sarcastically, "Are you disappointed that you didn't find out that I didn't poison you?"

Emperor Shunde frowned, "You know?"

He thought everything was as planned, but he didn't expect that he had fallen into his trap.

"Do you think that I hate you so much that I would join hands with Wen Chun to launch a coup?"

Emperor Shunde did not deny it.

"It's true that I hate you, and it's also true that I want to take revenge on you, but for the world, these can be avoided."

Emperor Shunde was stunned. He looked at Wen Heng carefully, as if he wanted to find out whether he was true or not.

"It's not just me. In fact, this is more than the one thing you did wrong."

Emperor Shunde's heart immediately tightened, "Are you threatening me?"

"No, compared to the wrong things you did, I don't want to help the evil, but this doesn't prevent me from still hating you and can't forgive you."

Emperor Shunde sneered, "Could it be that you have known for a long time that your every move is under my control, so you say such things?"

"I say, if I really wanted to harm you, then actually now, from the moment you entered this room, you are already hopeless. Do you believe it?"

Emperor Shunde was horrified. He had just been busy coming here to call for punishment and had actually overlooked this room.

Usually few people come here, and he tacitly agrees to this.

So no one really knows what he is doing in this room.

"Don't be nervous, you won't die. Wen Chun is not a good emperor. If he takes the throne, the people of the world will suffer and thousands of small families will be destroyed. I hate you, but that is a matter between us and has nothing to do with the people."

Emperor Shunde never expected that the son he despised the most actually had the world in mind.

"Wen Heng, you surprised me."

This is what Emperor Shunde said after thinking for a long time.

Wen Heng was stunned for a moment, then forced a wry smile.

After Emperor Shunde returned, he was also wondering whether he had done something wrong.

This reminded him of what happened back then.

That night, he had a nightmare.

I dreamed of the tragic death of General Chang Yun and his soldiers.

When he woke up again, he looked much more haggard.

After getting up, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and Lady Li next to him screamed in fear.

The news also spread outside the palace.

Wen Chun, who was ready to make a move, thought that Wen Heng had succeeded.

Just wait two more days, just two more days, and he will succeed.

When the time comes, I will lead people into the palace.

That night, the city gates were secretly opened and many soldiers sneaked in. The Prince Rui's palace was also very lively, and those sitting there were all ministers who supported the Prince Rui.

Little did they know that what they were about to encounter was a big net woven just for them.

Xia Zhiliao calculated the days and thought it should be about time, so he asked everyone in the family to stay at home and try not to go out to avoid getting into trouble.

As for what Princess Yi Yang planned, Xia Zhiliao did not ask.

She believed that her grandmother would have a perfect plan.

Late at night, King Rui led an army of 100,000 who sneaked into the capital and surrounded the imperial palace, saying that Emperor Shunde was being held hostage and they were going to rescue him.

But everyone who saw the situation knew that this was clearly an attempt to force the emperor to abdicate.

Wen Chun was already prepared. At his command, the soldiers broke through the palace gate and headed straight for the bedroom where Emperor Shunde would rest tonight.

Naturally, there were also accomplices of Prince Rui in the palace.

The torches illuminated the entire palace. Wen Chun stood at the front, and victory was in sight.

But it was too early for him to be happy.
