10. There Will Inevitably Be Wicked People Who Want to Harm Zhen

Chu Xing’s expression changed drastically, a layer of frost forming over his eyes.

Indeed, Prince An knew quite a lot. It seemed that his reason for coming was not good, ah. Chu Xing’s tone became rather indifferent, and he raised an eyebrow, “So what if he’s dead or alive? Your Highness has left the Capital for so many years. I didn’t expect for Your Highness to be concerned over the Capital’s affairs.”

Jing Heng recalled what Yang Xian had told him. Originally, he was already worried that Jing Zhao was currently being tortured at this very moment. Now that he saw how arrogant and condescending Chu Xing was, he was no longer able to suppress the anger in his eyes. He spoke with a chilly voice, “Indeed, rumours cannot be trusted! They all say that General Chu is a great hero who fights for the country—for the people. Benwang sees that this is far from the truth. General Chu is actually a ruthless and ambitious character. You’ve acted so disgraceful, vicious, and merciless...it can’t be that you’re not afraid of incurring Heaven’s wrath?”

Chu Xing snorted and gave Jing Heng a profound look, “Then, what about Your Highness? Your arrival today—do you dare claim that your conscience is clear, that you really came because you missed His Majesty?”

He had previously heard about how Jing Heng had been kicked out after having helped the Incapable Ruler to the throne. He had seemed to be content with his lot on the surface for all of these years. Now, as soon as something had happened to the Incapable Ruler, he suddenly appeared. Perhaps he had been scheming all this time. What difference was there between the two of them?

Jing Heng’s chest heaved slightly. Missed him...he hadn’t only begun missing him recently but had already spent many years missing him! However, the person he treated so cautiously, who he couldn’t bear to wrong, not even in the slightest, had fallen into the hands of this scoundrel and was being tormented!

Both eyes were fixed directly onto Chu Xing as he said, “Benwang’s conscience is naturally clear!”

Chu Xing sneered, “I still ask that Your Highness returns, ba. His Majesty cannot meet with you right now.”

The hand hidden in Jing Heng’s sleeve clenched. He had rushed over here by himself for the sake of being able to save Jing Zhao even one day sooner. How could he leave so easily? If it wasn’t for the fact that the entire palace and Capital was under Chu Xing’s control right now and that Jing Zhao’s life was in this traitor’s hands, he would want to kill Chu Xing. Where would he have the mind to persuade him with kind words?!

Jing Heng sucked in a deep breath and calmed himself down. His voice was slow, and he stared at Chu Xing with his sharp eyes, “Benwang wishes that General Chu will come out to meet someone.”

Chu Xing smiled, but his tone was apathetic, “Oh? Why should I go meet with them?”

Jing Heng said, “This concerns Chen Yan’s death. It couldn’t be that General Chu doesn’t wish to know about the truth behind it?”

Chu Xing’s eyes were slightly cold, “Chu Yan died under the Incapable Ruler’s hands. There is no need for doubt! If Your Highness wants to make a fuss about this, then I would just like to say, don’t waste your energy.”

With an icy gaze, Jing Heng looked at him, “Since General is so confident, why not take a look? It can’t be that in the case there is something odd about Chen Yan’s death, you’re willing to let off the main culprit, to be played with like a clown in the palm of their hands?”

Chu Xing’s expression did not change. It looked like he didn’t believe him in the slightest. However, he wasn’t actually calm on the inside. In reality, Jing Heng’s words had really swayed him. If...there really was something odd about Chen Yan’s death....

He suddenly couldn’t control his hope that this matter wasn’t really the Incapable Ruler’s fault as if, in this way, he could find an excuse to forgive the Incapable Ruler....He knew that it was very dangerous to leave with Jing Heng, but...he didn’t want to let go of an opportunity like this, even if the probability was extremely low.

A long time later, Chu Xing slowly nodded, eyebrow raised as he smiled, “Since His Highness has prepared such a card up his sleeve, then I might as well comply with His Highness and go for a walk.”

Jing Heng knew that Chu Xing did not trust him. As a show of good faith, he brought him to a spacious and empty area. In one look, he would be able to see that there was no ambush waiting for him. Chu Xing approached the pavilion with Jing Heng. There, he saw that there were already two people waiting. When he saw who they were, his expression immediately changed!

The person standing there with soft features was astonishingly: eunuch Yang Xian! In Yang Xian’s hands was also a trussed up man, covered in blood!

As soon as Chu Xing saw Yang Xian, cold bloodlust flooded out of his eyes, “I really did not expect that you would actually dare to show yourself to me.”

He turned to look at Jing Heng, voice void of any warmth, “I had even thought that His Highness had invited me with sincerity. Who knows just what kind of trick you’re playing now?”

Prince An had unexpectedly colluded with that Incapable Ruler’s number one trusted aide!

It couldn’t be that Prince An was actually one of the Incapable Ruler’s men? Was today a premeditated plot against him? Instantly, blood thirst arose in Chu Xing’s heart. The expression he used to look at Jing Heng became very unkind! It would not be easy to make him stay!

Jing Heng’s expression remained calm as he returned Chu Xing’s gaze. He said, “Why does General always allow his prejudices to cloud his thinking?”

Chu Xing sneered, flitting a look full of killing intent towards Yang Xian, “Then, can Your Highness tell me why you and that castrated man are together?”

Yang Xian returned Chu Xing’s gaze with a loathing and icy look of his own. His hands clenched into fists. If it wasn’t because His Majesty was currently in this traitor’s hands, he would risk his life to take him down with him!

Jing Heng did not reply to his question. His gaze fell onto the bounded man, and he spoke neither fast nor slow, “Does General Chu recognize this person?”

Chu Xing’s eyes narrowed slightly, “I’ve never seen this person before.”

Jing Heng nodded, “So, it’s like that. Only, although General does not recognize this person, you must have heard this person’s name before. His name is Bian Tu.”

Chu Xing’s expression changed slightly.

Jing Heng continued, “He is Empress Bian’s nephew, Imperial Tutor Bian’s eldest son, Bian Tu.”

Chu Xing’s expression was at last no longer tranquil. With a heavy voice, he said, “Everyone knows that Bian Tu has already died. The entire Bian clan had died under that Incapable Ruler’s hands!”

There was a concealed hate within Jing Heng’s eyes. With a freezing tone, he said, “It would be wonderful if he had truly died. Unfortunately, one fish slipped through the nets! Yang Xian, wake him up. The rest of what General Chu should know, let him personally tell it!”

Yang Xian had already been impatient. With his fingers, he dug his fingers heavily into Bian Tu’s nape. The man twitched instinctively from the pain before slowly waking up.

Bian Tu took a look at Jing Heng and then took a look at Chu Xing. How could he not understand what was happening? While spitting out blood, he laughed wildly, “Hahahahahahaha! You all—hahaha!”

Yang Xian’s gaze towards him was full of abhorrence. In a cold and dark voice, he said, “Eldest Young Master Bian, tell General Chu what you told us that day. If you omit even the smallest thing, I will let you suffer what you’ve just had a taste of for ten days and ten nights.”

Bian Tu averted his eyes. A while later, he suddenly turned to look at Chu Xing, “General Chu, has that Incapable Ruler died yet? Have you killed him?”

Chu Xing’s heart skipped. Not only did this person know who he was, but he also knew about what he had done. Chu Xing immediately realized that something was indeed odd about this matter!

Bian Tu said, “If you haven’t killed him, you must kill him soon! With that Incapable Ruler’s vindictive nature, he will definitely resent you to death. Just like how he had resented us to death at that time, hahahaha...General, you must kill him. Otherwise, if you give him even the smallest opportunity, he will not let you go! He will certainly kill you!”

When Jing Heng and Yang Xian heard this, they exploded in anger! This brute doesn’t even regret what he did even while at the brink of death! Yang Xian pressed down on one of Bian Tu’s acupuncture points, and Bian Tu immediately began to roll around on the ground, screaming miserably! He shouted, “Kill me, kill me, ba!”

He screamed and screamed before breaking out into mad laughter once more, “Hahahaha, what’s the use in torturing me? In any case, I’m a disabled man. After I die, I’ll have that Incapable Ruler buried next to me. It’s worth it, ah—ah ah ah hahaha!”

A baffling unease gradually rose in Chu Xing’s heart...his expression became frigid, and he suddenly asked Bian Tu, “You used me?”

Bian Tu looked at the three of them derisively and laughed mischievously, “So what if I did? All of you are so incredible, and yet, you ended up being played in the palm of the hand of some trash! I just instigated a bit, and you all began to massacre one another. That Incapable Ruler must die, hahaha!”

Probably because he knew that it was inevitable that he would die today, Bian Tu could not hold back the pride in his heart. He flashed a sinister and vile smile, “I fed that Chen Yan medicine that caused him to become mute. Then, I secretly switched him with the Incapable Ruler’s male pet, sending him into the palace! Once Chen Yan died, how could the Chen Family bear it!? The noble families that have long since become dissatisfied with the Incapable Ruler would certainly want to revolt! So what if he killed my aunt and exterminated my entire clan?! In the end, isn’t he also destined to die? Even that contemptible trash can be Emperor? Bah!”

Chu Xing was furious. However, he acted calm on the surface and continued to ask, “You were the one who sent Chu Yan into the palace?”

Bian Tu guffawed, “Yes, ah, General Chu, it is I who helped you greatly, ah! Haven’t you long since disapproved of that Incapable Ruler’s conduct and deed? With this fuse, you are able to take up arms and revolt with justice on your side! Hahahaha! That low-breed only has himself to blame for all of this. I only advanced his time of death, that’s all, hahaha!”

He seemed to be in so much pain that he was about to lose his sanity. There was nostalgia in his eyes though, “It’s truly such a pity that I won’t be able to see how he dies with my own eyes. You don’t know...but, at that time, he was our play thing....”

Jing Heng’s expression changed, and with a stern voice, he said, “Kill him!”

They had to kill him now! They couldn’t let him continue talking!

Yang Xian was furious at Bian Tu’s words. He had unsheathed his sword a long time ago! However, Chu Xing was quick and blocked Yang Xian! He had to know the whole truth today!

Bian Tu looked at Yang Xian’s angry appearance and laughed, “You, this traitor, are really hell-bent on him, ah! At that time, Aunt treated you quite well. How could you have turned to that low-breed’s side? You even helped him deal with us. It couldn’t be that you’ve been seduced by that low-breed’s body? How does he taste? But you can’t even top him, how do you play with him?”

Yang Xian’s eyes looked like they were dripping with blood, “Shut up!”

He couldn’t say it! He couldn’t say it again! He had promised His Majesty! In this lifetime, this matter would never see the light of day again!

This was his promise to His Majesty!

Bian Tu saw his extremely infuriated appearance and was even more gleeful inside, “Didn’t you want me to tell it honestly? Isn’t it good for me to tell the whole truth? I can let other people understand just what kind of thing that Incapable Ruler is. Did he think that if he killed our entire clan and massacred the entire palace, he would be able to pretend what happened in the past had never occurred? Right...I should talk about the thing that I’m most proud of. That low-breed was f*cked by men until he developed a psychological shadow. He’s a useless person who can’t even get hard, hahaha. For the sake of letting him have a son to succeed the throne, Aunt had given my woman to him as his Empress. Every night, I would make love with his Empress on their bed. Meanwhile, I’d have him f*cked by some man on the floor while making him watch how I played with his Empress! Hahahaha, every time I think about it, it excites me to no end! It was really worth it! Even if I die, it was worth it, ah!!!”

When Chu Xing heard this, he could no longer maintain his calm. His mind was unsteady, and he ended up getting pierced in the arm by Yang Xian! Blood gushed out!

The pain from having a sharp blade piercing his flesh was incomparable to the pain in his heart at this moment. He was even...a bit numb.

One voice madly shouted in his brain. This could not be true....Another voice said, why couldn’t this be true? Why would Bian Tu, who was on the brink of death, lie to him?

Was this the truth he wanted to know?

He had never wished for something to be false before until now. This was not what he wanted to know. He would rather believe that the Incapable Ruler was really a sinner, wicked beyond redemption....

He did not want to hear a truth like this.

He didn’t believe it!

Yang Xian’s eyes were so full of hate when he looked at Bian Tu that it almost looked like they would drip with blood!

This was his mistake! He had unexpectedly left a hole for this b*stard to slip through and set up His Majesty! Today, he even had to watch as this brute revealed that time’s matter to that traitor! Even if he died now, it was not enough to make up for his regret! However, before he died, he had to tear this b*stard apart and save His Majesty!

Taking advantage of Chu Xing’s lapse of attention, Yang Xian stabbed his sword right through Bian Tu’s throat! From Bian Tu’s throat came gurgling noises. Even so, there was still a twisted smile on his face even as he died!

Jing Heng forcefully pressed down the fury in his chest and gazed coldly at Chu Xing, “Although Bian Tu has died, Benwang already has an oral confession written down from him. Benwang has also captured his co-conspirators. All of this can be given to you, General. As soon as General sees everything, you will naturally know that what he said about Chen Yan was not false! General Chu, every injustice has its perpetrator. Although Chen Yan did die in the Imperial Palace, His Majesty did not intend for this to happen. It is not fair for His Majesty to take all of the blame.”

“So long as you’re willing to let His Majesty go and leave the Capital...Benwang can promise you on behalf of His Majesty that you will be absolved for your disgraceful crime.”

Jing Heng knew that to Chu Xing, words were unreliable on their own, so he once again spoke in a low voice, “Benwang has sent a courier to get in touch with the military forces all over. They are currently heading towards the Capital. If you are willing to retreat, then this matter can be peacefully resolved. You are already a Special Prince. You can have your own conferred land. Isn’t being a local tyrant in your own land an even more unfettered life? General Chu has protected this country for more than ten years. Benwang trusts that you have righteousness in your heart and will certainly not want to see people end up in terrible situations, ba? Right now, there is still time for you to mend your ways. There is no need to drown the world beneath the heavens in a river of blood and destroy your good name in one day for a moment of greed, is there?!”

Jing Heng’s words were reasonable, moving, and tempting. They would not let others think much about it.

Chu Xing stood in place, fixed. Since he had been stabbed with Yang Xian’s sword, he had not moved as if he had lost his ability to react from too much shock.

His mind had Bian Tu’s words on repeat...those vile and sinister words seemed to all be mocking him, heavily smashing onto his heart. They were laughing at his ignorance, for how he had believed himself just for punishing...someone who had already been hurt to the point of being covered in cuts and bruises all over.

The tip of his sword fell into the earth. His hand clenched around the hilt.

That’s right...perhaps the Incapable Ruler had made mistakes...but...he was also in the wrong...and, the Bian Clan was also guilty without redemption! Everything he had known before had been ruthlessly toppled. What was right had become wrong, and what was wrong had become right....

All of his determination and conviction had instantly become unstable.

A long time later, Chu Xing turned to look at Prince An.

He had heard everything Prince An had said to him just now. Why was Prince An working so hard on that Incapable Ruler’s behalf?

At that time, Prince An had helped that Incapable Ruler eradicate the Bian Clan. Then, in the blink of an eye, he was expelled. So many years had passed, but he still had no complaints. Now, he was risking it all and putting himself in danger, because that Incapable Ruler was in a difficult situation...why?

Chu Xing stared at him rigidly and slowly said, “You like His Majesty, don’t you?”

Aside from this, he could not think of any other reason to make Prince An willing to go through hell and high water for the sake of the Incapable Ruler.

Jing Heng looked at him, eyes calm, “Yes.”

Chu Xing’s fist suddenly tightened. He looked at the corpse on the ground and suddenly lost all energy to speak. He fell silent for an extended period of time and then said softly, “He’s still alive.”

This was his reply to Jing Heng’s first question.

Jing Heng finally heaved a sigh of relief. What he had been most afraid of was that Jing Zhao had already died. If that was the case, there would have been no way to save him. Fortunately...he was just in time! He watched as Chu Xing turned to leave and said, “I hope that General can seriously reflect over Benwang’s words. Benwang will quietly await your favourable reply.”

Chu Xing’s steps paused, his voice hoarse, “Alright.”

Jing Heng watched as Chu Xing left, expression fluctuating. Right now, he could only wait! If he rushed things, and this traitor directly killed His Majesty, then it would waste all their previous efforts!

Yang Xian really wanted to chase after Chu Xing, but he didn’t dare to provoke him, lest he went back and vented his anger on Jing Zhao. Yang Xian could only force himself to endure! However, he could not endure the grief and indignation in his heart, so he stabbed one thousand holes into Bian Tu’s corpse before he was finally able to let the matter go!

Upon seeing this, Jing Heng lightly sighed, “Let’s go, ba.”

They could only hope that Chu Xing would properly think over his suggestion...nonetheless, Jing Heng was not very certain in his heart. After all, like Bian Tu had said, Chu Xing and Jing Zhao had an unresolvable hatred between them. Now that they were at this stage, wanting to have that traitor take the initiative to retreat was possibly harder than reaching the sky.

But, if Chu Xing really killed Jing Zhao, he would not spare anything to make him pay the price!

Chu Xing returned to the palace. When his subordinates saw his arm dripping with blood, they turned pale with fright. It couldn’t be that the General had been ambushed by Prince An? In anger, one said, “General! Should we go kill Prince An?”

Darkness flickered through Chu Xing’s eyes, and he said, “No need.”

Very soon, the Imperial Physicians arrived. Chu Xing’s injury was not serious, and he did not lose much blood. It was very easy and simple to handle.

Chu Xing did not go back to Xie He’s place. He suddenly felt a bit afraid to meet with the Incapable Ruler.

Although he was a traitorous scoundrel, he had always thought that everything he did, he had done with a clear conscience. Even if he had been moved by that Incapable Ruler in the end, he would not regret much. He was just a sinner, who was wicked beyond redemption, that’s all...he shouldn’t like him anyway. Liking him would be a mistake.

But now, everything had become ruthless mockery directed towards him!

The author has something to say:

General Chu will be seeking death. Light him a candle.

This author is also seeking death la, oh heavens, why did this silly author set up such a difficult math problem. In addition, the Blackening Value isn’t very clear, la, save me! Every day, I check it over ten times but I still make a mistake. It’s simply hell mode. _(:зゝ∠)_ I’m embarrassed to say that my math was taught by the PE teacher. And I’ve embarrassed said PE teacher, yingyingying...This is the reason why this silly author has completely taken out the Blackening Value, this little evil spirit that torments people, from these two chapters. It is much easier to calculate numbers when there’s only one value....

Yingyingying, this silly author wants you darling’s nutrient fluid to console my injured heart...Fingers touching

Eve: My HEART. Bian Tu is disgusting and I feel nauseated every time I read what he did. Poor Jing Zhao’s life has been so terrible from such a young age, it’s no wonder he’s so warped. Not to say that it justifies his cruelty, but while your own pain does not justify inflicting pain on innocent people, your crimes also should not devalue your pain (of course there’s also exceptions for everything, but I think we are all in agreement that no one should ever go through what he had.)
