Chapter 1081: The Winner Takes It All IV

‘Gu! Yi! Yi!’

Shen Die gritted her teeth hard.

The eldest prince had loved Gu Yiyi madly, treated her so well, and had indulged her every whim. This was something that Shen Die could never get from the eldest prince. However, Gu Yiyi was so ruthless and killed the eldest prince!

“Where is You Lan at now?”

“Your Highness, Princess You Lan has always been saying in You Lan Palace and has never stepped out of it.”

“Alright, I want to go to You Lan Palace.”

‘Gu Yiyi, you have killed the person who loves you the most and the person I love the most. I will make you regret the things that you have done for the rest of your life. You Lan has helped you a lot and did not hesitate to go against his brother because of you, but now… she will lose her life because of you. You will live your whole life full of remorse and agony.”

Shen Die’s eyes flickered with viciousness, the corners of her lips curved into a bloodthirsty smile.

Perhaps, the servant knew what Shen Die was after. She shook violently but was too afraid to stop Shen Die. Lowering her head, the servant walked after Shen Die, leaving the hall.

***

The palace’s gate was opened wide.

Countless spirit beasts swarmed into the palace and flooded the entire palace in no time.

In a bright yellow robe, the emperor’s eyes were locked onto the young lady among the spirit beasts. Astonishment filled his eyes.

The fear toward these spirit beasts had overtaken his lust. He did not have other thoughts in his mind besides astonishment.

“Maiden Gu, how are you doing?” The emperor stared at Gu Yiyi with a smile hanging on his lips.

“I have no idea that my son has forcibly taken you into the palace. If only I had known this, all these things would never have happened.”

The emperor was too afraid to call himself an emperor before these people. His voice was kind and gentle in a friendly way of greeting an old friend.

“Do you even believe the things that you have just said?” Gu Yiyi huffed in disdain.

The emperor’s face stiffened. He heard that Gu Yiyi had a sharp tongue. It turned out that it was real.

The emperor turned his head to look at Feng Ruqing. Naturally, he knew that the spirit beasts were actually taking orders from Feng Ruqing.

“Maiden, there must be misunderstandings between us. I am opening the palace’s gate to prove my sincerity. Could you please spare my life?”

At this time, the entire palace sank into silence.

The emperor of Tianyue Kingdom who stood aloof from the masses and had commanded the greatest respect in the kingdom had actually bowed down to this maiden, begging her to spare his life.

However, simply no one laughed at the emperor as they knew Tianyue Kingdom’s situation and the emperor had run out of choices.

“Misunderstanding?” Feng Ruqing walked toward the emperor. A gust of light breeze blew as her sleeves fluttered. With a smile on her face, she looked even more flamboyant.

“If we had lost the battle at the palace’s gate, would you still think this is a misunderstanding?”

As the saying went, the winner takes it all. If Feng Ruqing had lost the battle, she might have been held prisoner while the spirit beasts would have been completely wiped out.

Startled, the emperor closed his eyes and only opened them after a while.

“Power is nothing in this world as strength surpasses all others. I am no match for you all. I surrender. You can take my throne and all I ask is you to spare my life. I would rather live an ordinary life than die aggrieved.”

Even the lowly cricket and ant clung on to life, let alone human beings. Hence, the emperor did not feel shameful for saying this before everyone.

As long as he could stay alive, his reputation was nothing. He could even give up the throne, let alone tainting his own reputation!
