Why Didn't You Kill Me Too?

It was because of their own support that these two sons were able to gather such a huge force.

She's getting old, and all she wants is for her three sons to live with her. What's wrong with that?

It's just the position of Human Emperor; why should only the third son sit on it?

Why should her eldest and second sons suffer in Yinxu City instead?

She had given birth to all three sons, so it was her decision who should be emperor. What difference would it make if she gave the throne to her eldest son for a few days?

The three are half-brothers from different mothers, so why go through with this?

Unfortunately, she never expected that her youngest son would be so Tongtian and had already made arrangements.

Thinking about this made her angry; she had gone through countless hardships when she gave birth to her third son.

It was almost a matter of life and death before Di Xin was born.

Therefore, she didn't like Di Xin very much, and even thought that Di Xin was an unlucky being and an ominous sign.

Empress Dowager Gao's favorite son was her eldest son, Zi Qi. Zi Qi was gentle, kind, respectful, frugal, and modest, and had a very refined demeanor. Naturally, she preferred him.

Then the two fell into an eerie silence, neither of them speaking.

But both of their ears stood up straight.

Listen quietly to the sounds outside.

The sounds of fighting and shouting outside were intermittent.

But it didn't last long, after all, to the Chaoge army, the troops led by Zi Qi and Zi Yan were nothing more than a rabble.

The brutality of the war was even less than that of their military exercises; it was a joke.

Suppressing these people was incredibly easy, requiring absolutely no effort.

As the sound faded, Empress Dowager Gao's expression turned cold, indicating that the matter seemed to have reached a conclusion.

Before long, light footsteps came from nearby.

This person was none other than Su Daji, renowned for her beauty that surpassed all Primordial World.

"Reporting to Master, the matter has been resolved. The lords set up an inescapable trap, and the two princes walked right into it. They have now been completely suppressed."

"Of the 300,000 troops, tens of thousands were killed or wounded; the rest surrendered, abandoning their armor and weapons."

"The Chaoge army suffered very few losses, only a dozen or so men."

Su Daji remained silent for a moment, then took out a jade box.

"Master, this head was cut off by General Heng Zheng Lun. He is kneeling outside, begging for your forgiveness."

"He said he was in a bloodthirsty frenzy and accidentally killed His Majesty's brother."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.

"He is pardoned and credited with a major service; I will reward him separately in the future."

Upon hearing this Su Daji naturally went out to spread the word.

Ye Xuan, however, held the jade box in his hand and looked at Empress Dowager Gao to the side.

"Mother, I wonder which one is inside the jade box?"

Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Gao's face grew paler and paler, and a faint despair even appeared in her eyes. Her body swayed precariously.

Is that really her son inside?

How could he possibly bear this blow?

Ye Xuan ignored it and casually tossed the jade box away.

Immediately afterwards, the jade box was smashed open with a loud crack.

Inside, a round thing rolled out completely, revealing a face filled with terror and despair in its eyes.

The head rolled to Empress Dowager Gao's feet. When she saw it clearly, Empress Dowager Gao trembled even more. Wasn't this the head of her second son Zi Yan?

Why is this happening?

Why did God do this?

Although she agreed to her two sons attacking Chaoge, she did not intend for them to kill each other.

At this point, she was on the verge of collapse. Overwhelmed by fear, she staggered backward, clearly on the verge of a mental breakdown.

"You—you're the devil?"

"Why are you so vicious? He's your second brother! How could you dare kill your own brother? Are you even human?"

"You are the current Human Emperor, how could you kill your own brother?"

At this point, he had completely broken down.

She suddenly burst into tears.

"Give me back my son, you monster! Give me back my son!"

Having descended into madness, she recklessly charged towards Ye Xuan. At this point, she had completely broken down; where was her dignity as an empress dowager?

She completely transformed into a shrew and grabbed Ye Xuan.

Wushuang, who had always been by Ye Xuan's side, would never allow her to succeed.

In Wushuang's heart, her master is her treasure, and she will not allow anyone to harm her master.

He immediately flung his hand, knocking Empress Dowager Gao to the ground.

Empress Dowager Gao was thrown to the ground and could only sit down, crying and making a scene, completely turning into a shrew.

How could she not be furious when her son died right before her eyes?

Ye Xuan simply looked down at the woman without saying a word.

Empress Dowager Gao was getting old after all. After crying for a long time, she could no longer cry and could only gasp for breath on the ground.

His gaze was fixed on Ye Xuan, revealing boundless hatred.

Ye Xuan simply glanced at her, then spoke softly.

"If you hadn't tacitly approved of it, how could this have happened? How could it have led to fratricide?"

Empress Dowager Gao did not speak upon hearing this.

Ye Xuan revealed a hint of mockery.

"To be honest, you're incredibly foolish, so foolish it's unimaginable. You actually incited your eldest and second sons to rebel against your third son. What were you thinking? What's going on in your head?"

"---------"

She just wanted her three sons to stay by her side. Was that wrong?

Since the Human Emperor can be passed down in rotation, it doesn't matter who sits on it; it all belongs to the three brothers anyway, so why make such a fuss?

Ye Xuan looked at the silent Empress Dowager Gao, a cold smile appearing in his eyes.

"You bear a great responsibility for Zi Yan's death. How could you possibly support these people's rebellion? How can you face your father now?"

Ye Xuan's words were cold and ruthless, truly embodying the saying that the most ruthless ruler is the emperor.

To support one son in rebelling against another simply because one likes the other is utterly ridiculous.

Having been born into an imperial family for so many years, his shrewdness remains so shallow. Does he really think that just because he's the Empress Dowager, he can control the Human Emperor's position?

That's absolutely ridiculous.

That's utterly ignorant!

Who is the Human Emperor?

The Human Emperor is a figure who can influence the fate of heaven and earth; how can he be replaced so easily?

It has to be said that this woman is indeed all looks and no brains.

Using such words to describe his mother was indeed somewhat inappropriate, but he couldn't think of any other words.

"Zi Shou, or perhaps I should address you as Your Human Emperor?"

"You actually allowed your subordinates to kill your own brother! You've even killed your own brothers, why don't you kill me too?"

A look of madness had already appeared in her eyes.

"I truly regret it, I deeply regret it. If I had known this would happen, why did I ever give birth to you?"

"If I hadn't given birth to you, none of this would have happened, right?"

"My son is dead, kill me too, I don't want to live anymore anyway."

"This will give you the infamy of matricide, and you will be remembered with shame for eternity."

The woman had become insane and ruthless.

From a certain psychological perspective, she has gone mad.

After all, this blow was simply too great for him.

How could this not break her down?

Ye Xuan shook his head, a hint of mockery in his eyes.
