Bathing in the Hot spring of the Space was more comfortable than being an Immortal, Nangong Yi truly did not want to leave if it weren’t for the pressing matters at hand. However, concerning the state of the country, he could not afford to be weary. After hurriedly bathing, he dressed and headed to the Secret Room to interrogate Nangong Shi.
Up until now, Nangong Shi had been locked in here for many days. Since being thrown in, he had been left without any food or drink, even urinating and defecating had to be in his pants, which greatly shad Nangong Shi, who had always lived luxuriously. Upon seeing Nangong Yi, he unleashed all his resentnt against him.
"Third Brother, what do you an by this? Do you wish for fratricide?"
"Hehe!"
Nangong Yi gave a Cold Smile, covering his nose due to the stench from Nangong Shi. He stood far at the Entrance, coldly watching him, his eyes filled with a chilly amusent.
"Speaking of fratricide, in front of you, I can only feel inferior. Since I was conscious, you and Mother have never ceased to sche and chase after my life. If not for my vigilance, I would have been killed by you hundreds of tis. Even now, do you not constantly wish to harm ? Colluding with Ministers of the Imperial Court to rebel, waiting for us to destroy each other so you could benefit, if not for the Empress capturing you, at this mont, you would probably be watching my bustle, seeking the right opportunity to lead to my death!"
As Nangong Yi spoke, he carefully observed Nangong Shi’s expression, and indeed saw signs of panic.
Nangong Yi shouted loudly: "Nangong Shi, for the sake of your imperial ambitions, you gambled with the ancestors’ state of the country. At this point, do you think I will give you a chance to live?"
With those words, he swiftly pulled out a Soft sword from his Waist, step by step he approached.
The soft sword glead with silver light, its cold radiance chilling to the core.
He was the son raised under the protection of Jin Guifei and the Retired Emperor, never experienced any hardship since childhood, his temperant not as strong as Nangong Yi’s.
Previously, as the Crown Prince, due to his high status, he always maintained a humble, courteous, and approachable image as a graceful gentleman, but since his Arm was chopped and his position as the Crown Prince beca unstable, his true Temperant gradually surfaced.
Cruel, lustful, foolishly reckless, volatile, weak-willed, and now, fearing death and cowardice had been added to his traits.
Now, upon seeing Nangong Yi approaching with the sword, he instinctively thought he was there to Kill him, terrified, he scread out loud.
"Nangong Yi, you cannot kill !"
Nangong Yi gave a Cold Smile and said, "Why? Give a reason not to kill you, but don’t say anything about being born from the sa roots, brothers should not fight against each other, as such words make angrier and more inclined to kill you."
Nangong Shi was about to say exactly that, but having heard Nangong Yi’s words, he forcefully held back what was at the tip of his tongue. His eyes widened as he saw the raised sword about to chop, he couldn’t help but close his eyes, loudly saying, "I know who wants to rebel against you!"
As soon as the words fell, Jin Zhong was startled by Nangong Shi’s lack of spine, he shouted loudly, "The Prince, how can you speak such nonsense?"
Nangong Shi yelled, "Uncle, at this point, I can’t care about them anymore. If saving them ans my death, what use is there in protecting them?"
After saying that, he turned towards Nangong Yi, pleadingly said, "Third Brother, no, Younger Brother, Your Majesty, if I reveal who is my Internal Advisor in the Court, can you grant rcy and spare my life?"
