The Phoenix Reborn Book II

Chapter 32 Send Him to Kun Lun

Inside a room that was several sides of its walls gilded, the sound of slaps could be heard resounding out loud. Several pairs of eyes quickly dropped the gaze, along with their bowed heads to hint at ignorance.

“Please Your Majesty calm your anger!” exclaimed a eunuch who was none other than Kasim Gao. The old man knelt down by the side of Emperor Weixin whose face was enveloped by a terrifying fury.

“Rebel!” maki Emperor Weixin pointed to Wang Wuyu who had fallen sideways before him.

The scar of a slap splashed clearly on the Fifth Prince's face, blood could be seen flowing slightly out from the side of his lips. Although it looked so pitiful, but the expression Wang Wuyu showed was not an expression of someone admitting his mistake. His eyes were burning with the fire of the belief that his actions represented justice.

Looking at the gaze given by his son, Emperor Weixin's emotions were mounting. “You—!” The man then looked to the right and to the left. His eyes landed on a sword hanging from the waist of one of his guards, and he extended his hand to pull the sword out of its sheath, shocking everyone. “I kill you!”

“Your Majesty, don't!” Eunuch Gao hugged Emperor Weixin's leg, holding her back. He glanced towards the silent guards. ‘Are you blind?!’

Kasim Gao's inner cry seemed to be clearly heard by the guards, they quickly tried to restrain the Emperor. Although they were hesitant to touch the Son of Heaven at first, they had greater confidence when the gesture from Eunuch Gao was received. After all, the old eunuch had accompanied Emperor Weixin for many years, the man knew clearly when to get in the way and when to be silent.

Since Emperor Weixin had been detained by the guards, Eunuch Gao was able to take off the Emperor's leg. He then rushed towards Wang Wuyu and said in a heartfelt tone, “Fifth Prince, admit your mistake! Apologize and your father will definitely give it!” He begged the prince to save himself.

Even with Eunuch Gao's request, Wang Wuyu did not budge. The man just replied, “Sim Gao, I don't understand what you mean.”

He still doesn't admit it!

Hearing this, Emperor Weixin's anger grew. It was clear what had happened, but Wang Wuyu was still reluctant to confess all his sins and ill intentions.

With the letter given by Huang Miaoling, Emperor Weixin already knew clearly that his fifth son was working with Li Shijing to frame Huang Miaoling and Wang Junsi. Not only that, though, the girl also informed the Son of Heaven of the Fifth Prince's initial cooperation with Li Hongxia to bring down the Huang family in order to push Wang Xiangqi onto the throne and make him a puppet emperor.

Now, even when the Emperor had shown that he knew all about what was happening, Wang Wuyu could still be calm and show an innocent face before Emperor Weixin. What a thick face!

Against his brothers and his own country, Wang Wuyu was able to be so ruthless. Knowing this, it was no wonder that Emperor Weixin was so enraged!

In the next instant, the door that limited the Emperor's work space to the outside world opened. Everyone's gaze turned to the figure who stepped inside the room quickly. Even with her hasty demeanor, the elegance and prestige that enveloped the woman was fully preserved.

“Defei?” eunuch Gao muttered in surprise.

The muttering of Kasim Gao landed on Wang Wuyu's ear, the prince turned his head, convinced that the Mother had come to save him. “Ibu—!”

Just as Wang Wuyu wanted to welcome his mother's arrival, he was startled by a loud slap that landed on his left cheek. “Don't you dare call me!” his reprimands were ruthless, shocking the entire room, including the Emperor who was frozen at that very instant.

Yang Yuechan's gaze turned to Emperor Weixin. Then, she walked quickly to her husband and then kneeled suddenly. Not stopping there, the woman prostrated herself at the feet of the Husband while exclaiming, “I am useless, I failed in educating my son! Please Your Majesty impose the punishment for my mistake!”

“Mother!” Wang Wuyu shouted, not expecting his mother to commit such a lowly act before everyone. ‘Always ... always like this …. Mother, you—!’ The Fifth Prince clenched his hands tightly, even his knuckles flushed red because of his actions.

Seeing Yang Yuechan prostrate before him, Emperor Weixin's heart trembled. After all, the woman was one of his esteemed women, one of the palace's four supreme concubines. In the presence of all his subordinates present, how could that woman prostrate like a servant?!

As if knowing what Emperor Weixin was going to do, the guards quickly dropped their grip on the man. As expected, the Emperor released the sword in his hand and approached the concubine. He touched Yang Yuechan's shoulder and told her to stand up.

“Yuechan, rise,” Emperor Weixin said.

Even with Emperor Weixin saying, Yang Yuechan remained unmoved from her place. He held himself back from prostrating himself with his head stuck to the floor.

“Your Majesty, forgive me for not being able to accept your kindness,” replied the Defei, still with head bowed. “However, please grant one of my requests.”

The sentence Yang Yuechan made Emperor Weixin's pitying expression instantly disappear, suspecting that his wife would ask for forgiveness for the sake of the Son. However, Emperor Weixin tried to rely on one belief that Yang Yuechan— Yang Defei— was a smart woman who knew that asking for forgiveness was not the right thing to do when her anger was at the top.

“Say ...”

The room was shrouded in silence for a moment. However, the next second, Yang Yuechan's voice loudly echoed within the room. “Praise my son by sending him to Kun Lun. He will age there and will never interfere in the slightest of earthly life. I want him to realize that his actions were so wrong and inappropriate that it was even in his mind.”

Not only did Emperor Weixin and Wang Wuyu grumble at his words, everyone in the room even thought that Defei was starting to lose his sanity!

Emperor Weixin glanced at Wang Wuyu for a moment, noticing the hurtful look the son gave his mother. Then, he turned to Yang Yuechan. “Defei, do you mean it?” tanyanya back.

This time, Yang Yuechan raised his head. With a confident expression, the woman replied, “My words ... does Her Majesty still doubt her?”

No. gabe. It was clearly the answer that appeared in the heart of Emperor Weixin.

“Mother! Send me to Kun Lun?!” wang Wuyu shouted in panic.

Without Wang Wuyu, who would support Yang Yuechan and help him maintain a standing in the back palace?

“Shut!” reprimanded Yang Yuechan with an expression full of anger. “Your sins are not a light thing, and you know about it. Leaving you locked up in Kun Lun will give you a chance to rethink your mistakes and acknowledge them before the world. That is a deserved punishment!” The woman went back to Emperor Weixin. “Hope Your Majesty fulfill my request!”

When he saw that Defei wanted to prostrate again, Emperor Weixin immediately restrained the woman's arms. He quickly said, “I grant it, I grant your request, Yuechan. Now, stand!” The man helped his wife stand up and sigh. “For the glory that I know holds your heart, I will send Wuyu to Kun Lun. When did you want that to happen?”

“Besok.”

Emperor Weixin's eyes blinked, shocked at the lack of hesitation in his wife's reply. “Isn't that too fast? You clearly know where and what kind of place Kun Lun is, don't you?” asked the Emperor while frowning. “Women cannot set foot there. When my decree was passed down, it meant that you could not meet Wuyu for a long time. Only in special days Kun Lun college door is open for visit.”

Chief Yang Yuechan nodded steadily. “I know clearly about it, Your Highness.” He added, “My decision is already round.” His eyes fell a little. “The sooner he leaves the palace, the better. That way, there is no other strange thing that he can ramu.”

Emperor Weixin looked deeply into his wife's eyes, trying to give Defei a chance to change his mind. If Yang Yuechan at this moment also changed his intentions and wanted to investigate the matter more deeply before making a decision, then the Emperor would naturally make it happen. After all, from the very beginning, Emperor Weixin did not intend to punish Wang Wuyu so severely.

The Emperor's main intention was simply to scare his son and then send him away to another city temporarily as a form of exclusion. Thus, Emperor Weixin was able to keep showing that he was trying to uphold justice towards the Huang family while defending his son.

Even if the Huang family did not feel that exclusion to another city was a sufficient punishment, but they would not be able to do anything. However, punishing a prince requires a very hard reason. Even if Huang Miaoling had presented evidence, but the letter was only read by Emperor Weixin, and the man could have turned his face away and pretended not to know anything.

However, since Yang Defei had expressed his desire to excommunicate Wang Wuyu for the rest of his life in Kun Lun, it was strange that Emperor Weixin tried to ease his son's punishment. It seemed to tell everyone that he was just playing a charade and indeed intended to free his son from all the heavy demands.

Indeed, Emperor Weixin did not understand why Yang Defei was able to pass down such a cruel punishment to his own son. Was it because of the guilt that prompted the glory of his heart to act cruelly on his own fleshly blood ... or because there was another factor?

“Lao Gao ...,” call Emperor Weixin in a low tone.

“Hamba present,” reply Kasim Gao.

Emperor Weixin clasped Yang Yuechan's hand and then glanced at his subordinates. “You heard Defei's remark. Carry it out,”.

Eunuch Gao took a cold breath. Although he felt that the Fifth Prince's fate was unfortunate, he could not do much. The Mother has spoken and the Father has said, and that is the fate of the Son.

“Hamba understand ...”

Hearing that, Wang Wuyu could only sit limp on the floor. ‘Whoever? Is everything finished like this?’
