The Unstoppable Sixth Prince

Chapter 74: Adding Fuel to the Fire

With a command from Emperor Wen, all five guards were dragged away.

"Your Majesty, spare my life!"

"Your Majesty, spare my life..."

The guards of Yun Li wailed and begged for mercy, but Emperor Wen remained unmoved.

Soon, all of Yun Li's guards were executed.

A pile of bloody severed heads lay there, making the atmosphere at the scene unbearably tense.

The other princes' guards were not executed immediately, but the outcome was hardly any better.

Everyone knows that Emperor Wen was in a fit of anger and did not dare to show any mercy; when he struck, he used all his strength.

Bang bang..

The dull sound of the cane striking was accompanied by the continuous screams of the guards.

These guards are not to be blamed either.

They all knew the truth, but not a single one of them spoke it.

They all conspired with their respective masters to deceive Emperor Wen.

However, these guards do have some grievances.

After all, they were just guards; how could they dare to expose their master?

Listening to the alternating cries of despair around them, Gao He and the others felt a constant drumbeat in their hearts, while secretly feeling relieved.

It's good that His Highness the Sixth has principles.

Otherwise, they would be in the same situation now.

If this continues, with fifty strokes, these people will surely have their skin torn and flesh lacerated.

Emperor Wen cast a dark, brooding glance at the five princes, his gaze finally settling on Yun Li.

In the next moment, Emperor Wen directly picked up the yellow vine from the box and struck Yun Li fiercely.

"Tell me, where did you hunt the bear?"

Snap!

"Who did you bribe to help you prepare the prey?"

Snap!

"Do you think I have become senile?"

Snap!

The Emperor Wen's face twisted in anger.

Every time he spoke, he struck Yun Li fiercely.

"Father, I know I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again..."

Yun Li was being whipped, crying out and pleading for mercy.

However, how could Emperor Wen let him off so easily!

"I had you kneel in the ancestral temple for three days, and this is how you reflect?"

The Emperor was furious beyond control, relentlessly striking Yun Li.

Other princes, at most, would resort to deception and trickery, using prey that had already been shot to claim it as their own kill.

But Yun Li is quite impressive; he even managed to bring out a bear!

This is no longer just a simple case of deception and trickery.

This is a premeditated scheme to deceive him!

The Emperor Wen gasped for breath after striking down more than a dozen times in quick succession before finally stopping.

"Old Six!"

The Emperor Wen shouted in anger.

"Your humble son is here!"

Yun Zheng stepped out.

"Kneel!"

The Emperor Wen shouted in anger, his eyes bulging as he glared at Yun Zheng.

I'm sorry, but it seems there is no source text provided for translation. Please provide the text you'd like me to translate

Yun Zheng was speechless.

Damn it!

Is this old guy going crazy?

Is it true that even a passing dog gets a slap, huh?

What do I care!

You don't have to play it this way just to keep things fair!

Yun Zheng knelt down with a bitter laugh, feeling incredibly frustrated inside.

"Are you not convinced?"

Emperor Wen gripped the stick and stared at Yun Zheng.

"I, your humble son, do not dare."

Yun Zheng replied with a bitter laugh.

The Emperor naturally did not believe him and shouted angrily, "Do you know why I command you to kneel?"

"Your humble son... does not know."

Yun Zheng felt a sense of unease in his heart.

Is this old guy onto something?

Emperor Wen glared at Yun Zheng and shouted, "You clearly discovered those slain prey, why didn't you speak up? Are you afraid to say it, or do you simply not want to?"

Yun Zheng lowered his brows and immediately recited the prepared words: "I believe those prey were shot by other brothers and then ran away; I didn't expect it was arranged by Father Emperor in advance..."

I'm sorry, but it seems there is no source text provided for translation. Please provide the text you'd like me to translate

The Emperor Wen paused slightly, momentarily unable to find fault with those words.

After a brief pause, Emperor Wen angrily questioned the Ninth Prince again.

But the answer received was more or less the same.

However, Emperor Wen is now blinded by rage and has no intention of letting Yun Zheng off so easily.

"Then tell me, what is the purpose of allowing you to privately recruit five hundred imperial guards?"

Emperor Wen stared at Yun Zheng with wide eyes.

Got it!

Going around in circles, still looking for a reason to tidy myself up, huh?

Damn it!

I've also been dragged down by these idiots!

Yun Zheng sighed inwardly and slowly said, "Son understands that Father Emperor is considerate of me and wants to allow me to privately recruit five hundred guards to serve as my personal soldiers after I go to the North..."

"I..."

The Emperor suddenly raised his stick, nearly fainting from anger, to the point where he even uttered the word "I."

Alright!

He said, how can this bastard be so passionate in the Garden of Blossoms!

It turns out this bastard misunderstood his intentions from the very beginning.

"I never thought of sending you to the North!"

Emperor Wen, furious, roared, "But after your commotion in the Garden of Blossoms the night before, now everyone in the imperial city knows that I intend to send you to the battlefield in the north! Both you and I have been pushed to the forefront of this storm! Tell me, am I sending you or not?"

"Ah?"

Yun Zheng raised his head, feigning confusion as he looked at Emperor Wen.

Ye Zi watched with her own eyes, secretly cursing this bastard for being such a good actor.

He deserves to kneel down with him!

She knew that the matter of the Garden of Blossoms wouldn't be so easily forgotten.

It would be considered good if he didn't get hit with a couple of sticks.

"Ah, what the hell!"

Emperor Wen angrily scolded, "I ask you, do I need to send you to the north now?"

"This..."

Yun Zheng scratched his head, putting on a look of not knowing how to respond.

Seeing him like this, Emperor Wen was even more furious, almost striking him with a stick.

Emperor Wen took a deep breath, struggling to suppress the urge to kill this scoundrel, and roared, "Get your people and roll out of here at once! I will deal with you later!"

"I obey your command, my son."

Yun Zheng quickly got up.

Just as he was about to run away, Yun Zheng suddenly stopped, cautiously asking, "Father, does the bet between me and Third Brother still count?"

Hearing Yun Zheng's words, Yun Li, kneeling on the ground, roared in anger and grief in his heart.

Old Six!

I curse your grandmother!

This damn thing, why bring it up now of all times!

He is clearly adding fuel to the fire!

Sure enough, at Yun Zheng's question, Emperor Wen's anger flared up once again.

Snap!

The yellow vine in Emperor Wen's hand struck Yun Li once more.

"Shameless!"

"I can't believe I gave birth to such a shameless bastard!"

"Do you still have the nerve to bet with Lao Liu?"

"Aren't you afraid of the sixth brother defaulting on his debts, and yet you have the nerve to say it out loud in public?"

"Shameless, utterly shameless..."

Bang bang bang..

The stick in Emperor Wen's hand continuously struck at Yun Li.

Although the noble consort felt heartbroken, she did not dare to plead for her son. Instead, she glared at Yun Zheng with a face full of hatred, her silver teeth grinding together with a creaking sound.

It was only after breaking the yellow thorn branch in his hand that Emperor Wen finally stopped, panting heavily.

At this moment, the clothes on Yun Li's back had long been stained red with blood.

"Get out of my sight this instant!"

Emperor Wen, in a fit of rage, roared at Yun Zheng.

"Father, please do not be angry; your son takes his leave..."

Yun Zheng said this and quickly led Shen Luoyan and the others in a bow to take their leave.

The fire has been lit; there's no need to stay any longer.

This old guy has gone crazy today; if we don't get out of here soon, we might really get dragged into it.

Well, it's okay, just knelt for a moment.

Compared to that bunch of idiots from Yunli, he has it much better.

The only regret is that I can't continue to watch these idiots get beaten up..
