The battle that lasted for several months finally came to an end and it was apparent who the winner was and who lost. On the day the city was breached, Chu Zhenghe seized Chu Sanghuai dressed in the imperial robe, in the Hall of the Golden Chimes. He looked demented, seemingly unaware that the imperial army had been completely wiped out as he clung tenaciously to the Dragon Throne without letting go.

Chu Jinglan had given orders to detain him in his imperial bedroom to await execution. After taking over the power, he began to clean up the government and the people.Throwing all the treacherous partys ministers into prison yet he was not in a hurry to enter and take up residence in the Eastern Palace, and was still residing in King Lan mansion.

At this moment, King Lan mansion was no longer the same as it used to be. Just the deployments of the guards alone almost reached outside the square and it even doubled up after the return of Ye Huaiyang. Not mentioning how strict it was that even carts full of Lan-lans food had to go through heavy inspection to come in.

Residing inside, Ye Huaiyang naturally wasnt affected by it. She was now particularly sleepy carrying the ball. Waking up late in the afternoon and taking naps at noon, she would then go out for a walk in the courtyard whenever the sun basked and teased Lan-lan in passing. On the whole, she basically never left the house, hence she didnt know how the situation was outside.

It was a rare sunny day today. Chu Jinglan found a moment to stay home with her when she dragged him to the backyard to feed Lan-lan.

Good baby, eat more so that you can grow chubby, understand?

Ye Huaiyang was kneel-sitting on the haystack and stroking Lan-lan, who was lying prone beside her legs and gnawing on a bamboo shoot. She merely felt that it was too thin and felt extremely distressed seeing its bones were protruding out. But this was already a blessing. On the day when the imperial guards broke into the house, she had several guards bring Lan-lan to Tianqi House before Ye Huaixin helped it to settle down in someones residence. So of course it would suffer some impact after several tosses and turns, and its already great for it to be in such a state now.

Yueya, bring the tub of milk over here.

As soon as her voice faltered, Yueya immediately brought a shallow wood tub of warm milk from the side and placed it in front of Lan-lan. There was some unexpected resistance as Lan-lan had not drunk this thing for a long time. So Ye Huaiyang stroked its neck and said, Be good, Ill let you climb high up after you drink this.

Lan-lan turned its head away, seemingly a little restless.

This is sweet, you used to like it very much before. Have a try, okay?

Shaking its fur, Lan-lan immediately turned its butt over and almost overturned the tub of milk which Ye Huaiyang stretched her hand out timely to hold the tub before slapping its plump buttocks once.

Ow!

Lan-lan turned its body and cried out softly after getting smacked. When it saw those threatening cold eyes, its arrogance immediately quenched and huddled into Ye Huaiyangs arms aggrievedly then looking up at her from time to time. Its two round eyes were still glistening with tears as if it had been bullied by someone. Ye Huaiyangs heart softened yet Chu Jinglan spoke angrily first before she could turn around to reprimand him.

If you pretend to be pitiful again, Ill throw you next door.

Wu Lan-lan wailed and arched more vigorously into Ye Huaiyangs arms.

With a rigid expression, Chu Jinglan quickly lifted it to the side. Before dealing with it, he turned back first to check on Ye Huaiyangs condition, Did it jostle you?

No.

Shaking her head gently, Ye Huaiyang turned to glance askance at the aggrieved globe but couldnt help laughing out at once. She stretched her arm out wanting to pull it back when Chu Jinglan stopped her. Turning his head and shooting it with a sharp gaze, he said coldly, Go drink the milk.

Then some rustling sound was merely heard when that certain round ball crawled frantically to the tub of milk in front of it and buried its head to lick frenziedly.

Ye Huaiyang fell to the ground with laughter.

After raising it for so long, Lan-lan is also considered a tyrant of Ye manor who basically does not listen to anyone except Ye Huaiyang, yet it is now being taught like a dog by Chu Jinglan, which is really amusing and awkward at the same time.

Looking askance at her, Chu Jinglan reached his arm out to wrap around her waist and said, You should stop too, dont laugh till you are out of breath.

It was not easy for Ye Huaiyang to stop laughing and about to speak when Tang Qingfeng was seen walking over from outside the fence. He leaned over and said something besides Chu Jinglans ear when Chu Jinglans expression turned rather unsightly for a moment.

Although she didnt hear what Tang Qingfeng had said, how ingenious was Ye Huaiyangs mind? She immediately spoke to Chu Jinglan. You go ahead and get busy. No need to stay here with me.

Chu Jinglan pondered for a moment before gently stroking her arms and shoulders while exhorted, As its so cold outside, you dont stay here for too long. Go back to the room soon and rest.

Okay.

Smiling delicately, she watched him get up and walked out. She then heard him instructing Ci Yuan and Yueya when he passed by the fence threshold, Keep watch and dont let it hurt Wangfei.

Chu Jinglan walked out through the moon-shaped gate with a group of shadow guards after saying that. Looking at his handsome and elegant back, the light in Ye Huaiyangs eyes dimmed slightly.

That person is most likely making trouble again

Imperial Palace.

Chu Sanghuai had been imprisoned in his own bedchamber for a whole ten days. He had not seen anyone except those shadow guards who were in charge of guarding him. The outlay of food and clothing was as usual but he just had no freedom.

This is a great torture for him.

He was accustomed to setting himself high above the masses and now he had unexpectedly fallen from the clouds. The slaves paid him no heed while the shadow guards watched him like a prisoner and the person who was supposed to flaunt in front of him or hacked him to pieces actually did not even show his face, as if he was an ant that could be pinched to death in passing who needless to be taken seriously at all. Such an awareness made him extremely furious.

Chu Jinglan! You come out! So what if you win this battle? Ive killed everyone that you care about, especially that old bastard! Even if you ascended the throne, youre still just a solitary loner. Im the winner, Im the one!

Chu Sanghuai waved his arms frantically, sweeping everything that could be seen to the ground. After venting out his frustration, he braced himself in front of the table with bloodshot eyes and panting fast like a wild beast.

The shadow guards outside were watching his every move with slightly cold looks.

This happens several times a day. Since sharp items in the room had been taken away, it wouldnt hurt him at all to smash everything. However, he began to curse the late Emperor and Chu Jinglan all of a sudden today which was not a trivial matter, hence the shadow guard immediately reported the situation to Tang Qingfeng and unfolded the scene in King Lan mansion.

Once it involved the late Emperor, Chu Jinglan naturally got really angry.

The reason why he imprisoned Chu Sanghuai in the palace was to slowly destroy his will, allowing him to live in such a humiliating environment until he fell apart which was regarded as venting out Ye Huaiyangs grievances. But since he is so insensible, what harm is there to send him off in advance?

Thinking of this, Chu Jinglan said in a cold voice, Go bring him to the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

Today he will deal with this disloyal and unfilial person in front of the ancestors!

The Imperial Ancestral Temple is extensive with white candles constantly burning and dozens of memorial tablets towering aloft like mountains on the high platform surrounded by sandalwood smoke. After patrolling to and fro for a while, Chu Jinglan fixed his gaze on the string of bronze small letters on the lower right. He had seen that name countless times on the bright yellow scroll and the person even grabbed his hand to personally stamp the seal when he was a child.

Gripping the burnt joss-sticks to insert into the Nine-coil Golden Dragon Cauldron, Chu Jinglan lifted the lower hem of his gown to kneel in front of the altar then performed three loud kowtows deferentially. Just then, there was a not-so-subtle commotion behind him.

Humph, making me come here, could you possibly want me to kowtow and apologize to our successive generations of ancestors?

Approaching with a sneer, Chu Sanghuai was unexpectedly kicked on the back of the knee joint that his whole person instantly fell down on the golden futon.

Even to this day you are still so full of nonsense. Chu Zhenghe snorted coldly before turning around to bow respectfully towards the memorial tablets, Imperial Uncle, King Father, Erchen[1] is here.

The two of you are still as capable of pretending as before. Chu Sanghuai sneered with a twitch at the corner of his eyes.

Without even glancing at him, Chu Jinglan turned his head to the side and said, Bring the wine over.

Tang Qingfeng came in with a tray, on which a silvery-white mythical dragon patterned cup containing rippling clear liquid and exuding a faint wine fragrance was placed. But in a blink of an eye, a shadow guard clamped Chu Sanghuais lower jaw while Tang Qingfeng poured the wine into his mouth in wake. His action was so squeaky clean and fast that others could not even react.

The strange thing was that Chu Sanghuai eventually didnt intend to resist at all. Instead he raised his head and laughed wildly.

I thought that Younger Brother is so broad-minded but its still the same old story after going on for so long. Why, finally, cant resist but to kill me?

Admit your mistakes to Emperor Father.

While Chu Jinglan threw out those words indifferently, Tang Qinfeng and the others immediately grabbed Chu Sanghuai towards the front of the altar table to force him to kowtow and apologize. He struggled and shouted loudly, Im not wrong! He was to be blamed for listening to Chu Rongs rhetoric of appointing a worthy person instead of the eldest and insisted on passing the throne to you. Otherwise, I wouldnt have done anything to him!

Chu Zhenghe punched him in the face which sent him sprawling on the ground.

You bastard! How could you even say such insolent words!

Hehe Leaning to the side to spit out a mouthful of blood froth, Chu Sanghuai laughed gloomily, This was just the beginning and you guys couldnt take it already? I still have lots of things to say, such as how I colluded with the Xi Tribe to get Chu Rong killed in that battle at Lingxiao Pass

It really was you!

Chu Zhenghes eyes were splitting with indignation and resentment surging in his heart. No longer able to restrain his vehement, his hands almost broke Chu Sanghuais neck when Tang Qingfeng and the shadow guards quickly separated the two before forcibly holding Chu Zhenghe to the side while Chu Sanghuai laughed more wantonly looking at him stomping with rage.

To this day and age, you still dont understand. If Emperor Father was really bent on having his own way, how would you have had the chance to wait until that time to harm him? Chu Jinglan looked at him coldly. His gaze was like a deep ancient well that raise no ripples.

What do you mean? Finally realizing something was not right, Chu Sanghuai reluctantly raised his head while clutching his cramping abdomen.

Dont you ever wonder why Emperor Father never made me the Crown Prince which imperceptibly gave you enough time to plan these sordid things? Chu Jinglan opened his thin lips slightly and spat out a few extremely simple words, Because I never wanted to succeed to the throne.

Impossible! Chu Sanghuai vomited a mouthful of blood and his face was like golden paper with an utterly confused expression.

Although Emperor Father had expressed his wishes, I had politely declined him several times and it was precisely because I had no such thought that I went to the border unguarded which gave you the opportunity. Since my return for two years yet you still dont understand. I seized the throne not because of greed for power but rather to dispose of you in order to comfort Emperor Fathers soul in heaven. Its up to you to believe it or not since everything is over after today.

Chu Sanghuai started to vomit big mouthfuls of blood. His mind gradually lapsed and everything in front of him began to blur out.

He said this on purpose, it must be how could anyone not love the throne?

Watching his demented and deranged appearance like this, Chu Zhenghe felt only rejoice and couldnt help but added an intent goading, You wouldnt have expected it, right? The thing that you vied for after so many years of covertly running hither and thither was actually something that others didnt want. Dont you think youre so laughable?

No no

You should be grateful that Cousin let you die so decently. If it were me, I would have had you put to death by a thousand cuts in the bustling street, so that the common people could spurn and humiliate you! Chu Zhenghe still could not let off his pent-up feelings after saying that, so he squatted down in front of him with a cold smile, Oh right, didnt you say that Cousin is a solitary loner? I forgot to tell you that Cousin Sister-in-law is still very much alive and about to give birth to the child in her womb. So she was not buried with your violently dead wife and child.

You!

With both eyes widened as if surprised and enraged, Chu Sanghuai could not say another word as he merely crouched and kept spasming on the ground with black blood oozing out from all seven apertures on his head that spread boundlessly on the smooth mirror-like jade tiles.

Watching the scene woodenly, Chu Jinglan then spoke nonchalantly, The sins you made should also end here. Go and apologize to those who were killed by you.

Pu

After another scarlett spurt sprayed under Chu Jinglans feet, the last sign of life faded away in wake and the figure fell heavily. Once the long-awaited imperial physician came in to check his pulse and confirm that he was dead, the shadow guards wrapped Chu Sanghuais body in silk cloth then stood there to await Chu Jinglans order.

Send him to the deep valley below Zhuolutai and bury him there.

Yes, humble subordinates comply the orders.
