Chapter 2655: Chapter 2655: Ruthless to the Core

He finally understood why his eyebrow had been twitching these past two days. That wretched child came to him deliberately, talking about Dowager Consort Yu to provoke him, with the goal of making him move against the Yu Family.

Now two days have passed, and the Yu Family has certainly already been exterminated, right?

If only the Yu Family were wiped out, that would be fine, but what if that wretched child is like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind? Might his Soul Extermination Sect have been sabotaged by that wretched child too?

That possibility truly exists.

"What has happened outside, is it..."

He wanted to ask, but didn’t know how to voice it. What if nothing had happened at all?

"What does the Retired Emperor wish to ask?"

The Imperial Edict Eunuch looked at the Retired Emperor with a smile, asking.

Of course, he didn’t expect the Retired Emperor to ask anything significant. Before coming to proclaim the edict, he had already received Eunuch Fu’s words, allowing him to tell the Retired Emperor everything that had happened in the previous court.

"Does the Retired Emperor wish to ask about the Yu Family? This servant indeed heard something, that the Yu Family was exterminated in an instant. It is said that the notorious Soul Extermination Sect of the Daqing Kingdom was the one who destroyed the Yu Family.

However, our Capital’s City Defense Force is formidable. They’ve captured everyone from the Soul Extermination Sect and thrown them into the dungeon. The Emperor has already ordered the complete eradication of the Soul Extermination Sect!"

"What?"

The Retired Emperor was shocked upon hearing this.

Indeed, it was like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. That wretched child was truly ruthless, deliberately telling him about what Dowager Consort Yu did in Ying City.

Maybe it was all fabricated by that wretched child, with the purpose of provoking him into taking action against the Yu Family, allowing him to profit from the ensuing chaos.

He knew that wretched child had long wanted to take action against the Yu Family, just lacking an excuse.

Now it turns out he personally aided that wretched child in exterminating the Yu Family.

And even the Soul Extermination Sect, which he supported, is about to be completely eradicated by that wretched child!

Too ruthless, truly too ruthless.

What a brilliant move, treating him as a pawn and discarding him once used. Using his support of the Soul Extermination Sect as an excuse to strip him of all his powers, and not even allowing him to reside in the Regency Hall.

This way, who in the royal court would dare say the Emperor’s actions are wrong? Even if they had thoughts, they would only tacitly accept it.

"Wretched child, he’s ruthless enough!"

With one hand supporting his dizzy head, his body swaying, he still held on with determination.

"You, go and bring that wretched child here. I want to see him."

"Is the Retired Emperor unwell? Why does he look so pale?" The Imperial Edict Eunuch listened to the Retired Emperor’s words, as if not hearing them, staring intently at his face.

Suddenly, he turned his head to look at the few young eunuchs accompanying him.

"What are you all standing there for? Quickly support the Retired Emperor onto the sedan chair, and send him back to the Supreme Palace. You, hurry and call for an imperial physician to the Supreme Palace to examine the Retired Emperor."

"Yes, this servant will comply."

The young eunuchs, upon hearing the Imperial Edict Eunuch’s words, almost swarmed up, dragging the Retired Emperor left and right onto the sedan chair.

"Let go, release me! Insolent! You dogs dare to treat me like this, I shall have you beaten to death with sticks, you..."

The Retired Emperor naturally didn’t want to go to the Supreme Palace, shouting wildly all the way.

However, no matter how much he shouted, it couldn’t change the fact that he would have to stay in the Supreme Palace for the rest of his life, never to come out again.
