“…” The corners of Chu You’s eyes twitched. His heart felt like it had been stabbed by a needle, and he felt a sharp pain.
Memories that he had almost forgotten appeared in his mind again.
His handsome face seemed to be covered in a layer of frost. His thin lips were pursed tightly, and he didn’t answer the Emperor’s question.
Nine years ago, he went to Yangzhou to take over the Tiger Army and quietly trained in Yangzhou. He hoped that the former Emperor and the Empress Dowager could be proud of him.
At that time, Yangzhou was Gu Ge’s territory. The young Chu You thought that he had hidden it well, but he didn’t expect that the training couldn’t be hidden from Gu Ce’s eyes.
Gu Ce came to him, wanting to borrow troops from him to resist the State of Yue army.
But he rejected it decisively. The Tiger Army was his trump card and couldn’t be leaked…
Every time he thought of this incident from nine years ago, Chu You felt annoyed, and his gaze darkened.
Seeing Chu You like this, Li Yunrong’s heart ached. She bit her lower lip slightly. Everything was clearly Gu Ce’s fault!
She wanted to walk to Chu You’s side, but just as she took a step out, she retracted her foot when she glanced at Xiao Shoufu and the others.
Chu You still needed the aristocratic families for the time being, and these aristocratic families couldn’t tolerate her. At this critical moment, she couldn’t let those aristocratic families be even more unhappy with him.
In ancient times, the king endured hardships. When Chu You successfully ascended the throne and grew stronger, he and her would finally have the ability to fight against the aristocratic families!
“This is the end.” Chu You’s cold and hard voice seemed to have squeezed out of his crown with difficulty. His voice was like ice.
Only he knew that these four words weren’t only for the Emperor to hear, but also for himself to hear.
What happened nine years ago had already been publicized at that time. The past was in the past, so it was useless to think too much.
Chu You clenched his fists tightly and said to the Emperor with a determined tone,
“Brother, hurry, hurry up and write the abdication edict.”
Chu You’s cold gaze quickly swept across the surrounding officials. His eyes were deep and cold, emitting a faint cold aura. He didn’t hide the threat in his expression at all.
Xiao Shoufu closed his eyes expressionlessly. No emotions could be seen.
The officials following behind him couldn’t hide their anticipation, their gazes burning.
As for the Embroidered Uniform Guards, they still stood motionless in front of the threshold of the Long’en Hall, forming a human wall to protect the Emperor without retreating.
Meeting Chu You’s cold and heartless gaze, the Emperor sighed softly again.
In the surrounding mountain wind, his sigh was drowned in the blink of an eye.
The mountain wind became stronger and stronger, as if it was roaring. The wind blew up the black embroidered golden dragon coronet suit on the emperor’s body, and the sleeves and robes fluttered. The string of jade beads on the crown swayed continuously, reflecting his face and eyes.
“Chu You, I didn’t want to come to this either.”
The Emperor’s slightly hoarse voice sounded slowly with a hint of helplessness, disappointment, and an indescribable complicated emotion.
Chu You only thought that the Emperor didn’t want to abdicate, and his expression instantly turned cold.
“Chu Qi, do you want to do this the hard way?!” Chu You called the Emperor’s name coldly. He pulled out the sword at his waist and pointed it at the hall. The sharp sword light was cold under the sun.
Xiao Shoufu suddenly opened his eyes, and this time, his expression finally changed. He exclaimed, “Your Highness!”
He definitely couldn’t see blood today. Otherwise, it would be difficult to understand in the history books in the future.
“Bang!”
The gunshot that resounded through the sky interrupted Xiao Shoufu’s words. It was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone’s hearts, making everyone’s hearts tremble.
With a bang, the longsword fell to the ground.
Two to three women screamed, “Ah…”
The hysterical shouts almost overturned the roof.
A bloody hole appeared in Chu You’s right palm. His palm was penetrated, and blood quickly flowed out of the bloody hole.
Blood dripped to the ground.
Chu You’s painful face was reflected on the silver longsword on the ground like a mirror…
The 500 Tiger Troops guarding outside the door pulled out their sabers in unison.
In Long’en Hall, on the roof, and on both sides of the hall, imperial guards holding flintlocks and wearing royal blue flying fish clothes rushed out like ghosts. These people were extremely skilled. In the blink of an eye, they surrounded the people outside the hall.
Those black muzzles were all aimed at Xiao Shoufu, Wang Kangyin, Wang Nan, and the other ministers of Chu You’s party.
In the hall, Chu Yi had appeared beside the Emperor at some point in time. He was wearing a royal blue flying fish suit and had a flintlock in his right hand.
The young man, who was like a clear moon and a breeze, smiled faintly. He had a clean, elegant, and noble aura that was incompatible with this bloody scene.
But the muzzle of the flintlock in his hand emitted a wisp of white smoke.
Without a doubt, the shot that just shot through Chu You’s palm was fired by Chu Yi.
The wind blew, and the smoke dissipated..
