The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich

Chapter 1908: It was the end of the world
The Emperor had truly loved this eldest grandson of the Emperor.

It was because he had truly loved his eldest grandson that his betrayal and heresy made him especially angry and heartbroken.

Before this, he had always wanted to give Yuwen Xuhong a chance to admit his mistake.

As long as he sincerely repented, he could spare his life.

However, what disappointed him was that his grandson had not realized his mistake and had pushed everything onto others.

The Emperor saw Yuwen Xuhong’s shocked expression and continued,” You have nothing to say! Then tell me, why did you do such a treasonous thing?”

Yuwen Xuhong looked at the irrefutable evidence in his hands, and his face immediately turned as pale as a piece of white paper.

He was very puzzled. Why would they betray him?

However, he had to ask for his grandfather’s forgiveness. Otherwise, his life would be in danger.

Yuwen Xuhong knelt on the ground and immediately kowtowed heavily,” Royal Grandfather, I know my mistake. I know my mistake. I beg Royal Grandfather to forgive me this once!”

“Too late!” The Emperor ignored his pleas and said very majestically,” Only now did you realize your mistake and come to beg for mercy from me. Yuwen Xuhong, what are you trying to do? Do you think that your begging for mercy will really make me spare your life?”

Yuwen Xuhong’s expression froze, and then panic, fear, and uneasiness surged into his heart.

He kept shaking his head with tears streaming down his face.” Imperial Grandfather, it’s not like this. It’s not like this!”

After saying that, he looked at the Crown Prince and pleaded,” Uncle Crown Prince, can you help me plead with Imperial Grandfather? I was really wrong, Uncle Crown Prince!”

When the Crown Prince heard Yuwen Xuhong’s words, he looked at him with a complicated expression.

In the past, he had also doted on this royal nephew, who was not much older than him.

However, when he learned that he was secretly plotting to pull him, the Imperial Uncle, down from the position of Crown Prince, he was very heartbroken and angry.

At this moment, when he saw his nephew crying, his heart ached.

Just as he opened his mouth to say something, the Emperor immediately shouted angrily,” Yuwen Xuhong, you still have the face to ask your Imperial Uncle to plead for mercy on your behalf? Why don’t you take a look at all the disgraceful things you’ve done? Are you worthy of the Imperial Uncle who has loved you since you were young?”

When he said this, it also exposed the helplessness in the Emperor’s heart.

This was the sorrow of being born as an emperor.

Whether it was kinship, love, or friendship, when faced with the power of the throne, they could be abandoned at will, regardless of the price.

Yuwen Xuhong wasn’t wrong in wanting to seize the Crown Prince’s position, and he wasn’t wrong in using underhanded methods. However, his mistake was that he had sacrificed the entire Yuwen family’s interests just to obtain the Crown Prince’s position. This was something he absolutely wouldn’t allow.

The Emperor didn’t wait for Yuwen Xuhong’s reply and immediately threw out another question. He shouted sternly,” Speak, why did you ally with the external enemy to do such a treasonous thing?”

Hearing the word “external enemy”, Yuwen Xuhong’s face panicked again. He lowered his head slightly, and his eyes kept rolling. Then, he raised his head and said sadly, “I… I just listened to some people’s bewitchment, and then…”

“So what?” The Emperor asked sharply,” Are you going to hand over the Yuwen family’s territory and make it a slave country?”

” No, no, it’s not like that.” Yuwen Xuhong realized that this was a serious problem. How could he admit it? “Royal Grandfather, I didn’t. You have to believe me!”

“Oh, from what you’re saying, it’s Prince Ping who’s lying?” The Emperor didn’t argue with him and only asked sternly.

Yuwen Xuhong’s entire body was trembling, and his expression was one of panic. He turned to look at Prince Ping and asked angrily,” Prince Ping, why did you frame me for no reason?”

“Pa!”

“Bastard!” The Emperor couldn’t take it anymore and gave Yuwen Xuhong a big slap. His face was livid as he said angrily, “Everyone is framing you. Yuwen Xuhong, you stubborn bastard!”

In front of irrefutable evidence, Yuwen Xuhong still wanted to give himself an excuse to shirk. The Emperor was really furious.

” I’m telling you.” After beating Yuwen Xuhong, the Emperor pointed at his head and said sternly,” Prince Ping and these two assassins did not betray you.”

Hearing the Emperor’s words, Yuwen Xuhong was instantly dumbfounded.

Oh, even the Crown Prince was confused.

Ever since he entered the royal study and saw the kneeling Prince Ping and the two assassins, as well as Yuwen Xuhong and Zhou Anping, who were suddenly brought in, he had some guesses. However, he had no idea how they had been captured.

However, he was very sure that their current state was definitely related to Lin Yuelan.

Now, he was only watching and listening to the royal study, but he was still extremely surprised by some of the results.

“In order to protect you, Prince Ping did not hesitate to sacrifice his life!” The Emperor said coldly,” But you are good. In front of conclusive evidence, you still want to push all the blame onto Prince Ping. What a waste of Prince Ping’s love!”

When Yuwen Xuhong heard this, his eyes could not help but widen, and his heart trembled fiercely.

Even so, he still didn’t understand what went wrong.

These pieces of evidence were clearly signed by Prince Ping and the other two, so why wasn’t Prince Ping the one who betrayed them?

“You don’t understand, do you?” The Emperor glared at him sternly.” Then I’ll tell you what’s going on!”

The Emperor pointed at Lin Yuelan and said,” This is because they ate the truth pills that the girl developed!”

“What?” Yuwen Xuhong was shocked.

He had never thought that the truth of his betrayal would be like this.

Then, he remembered.

At the court, Lin Yuelan kept saying that she had a truth pill that could make people tell the truth.

Although he was suspicious, he had to be cautious just in case.

Therefore, when the man who tried to assassinate Second Brother Hu was captured and was about to be taken into the palace, he was anxious. For this reason, he did not hesitate to send a large number of death warriors to silence him.

But in the end, the leader of the group of death warriors was captured, which made them even more anxious, causing things to get out of hand.

However, he did not expect that, in the end, it was a small pill in Lin Yuelan’s hand that caused him to fail.

Yuwen Xuhong looked at Lin Yuelan angrily at the thought of this. His eyes were filled with viciousness and resentment.

He roared,” Lin Yuelan, why are you ruining my plans?”

Lin Yuelan wasn’t angry at being questioned. Instead, she laughed and said,” Imperial grandson, your question is really funny! Ruin your plans? What did this princess do to you? Why don’t you tell me first!”

Yuwen Xuhong was speechless.
