I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head - Chapter 1412

1412 The Death of the Emperor, Everything Was Finally Over
Imperial Capital, Imperial Palace.

The imperial palace of Great Wei was naturally not shabby. On the contrary, it was connected by many paths, like a city within a city.

In the magnificent palace, Chu Yunfan finally met the legendary emperor of Great Wei. He was an old man with half a head of silver hair. He wore a royal robe and had a unique aura. It was the aura of a true superior who had been in a high position for many years.

“I didn’t expect us to meet under such circumstances,” Chu Yunfan said as he looked at the emperor.

“I didn’t expect this either,” the emperor echoed.

!!
A complicated expression flashed through his eyes. He had long known about the existence of such a person from the intelligence of the Agency of Secrets. However, at that time, according to the agency, Chu Yunfan was just a new generation expert with a promising future. Although Chu Yunfan could already be considered an outstanding talent at that time, he was still nothing.

Who knew that Chu Yunfan’s strength was getting stronger and stronger. Soon, he was so strong that even Great Wei had to pay attention to him. Half-step Cores were considered local tyrants. There were many such people in various places, and they had become the focus of the agency.

But in the end, they could only be regarded as a vassal of a region, but Cores were different. They were experts who could influence the situation of the entire country. Although not every one of them was an existence at the level of the five great experts, one had to admit that such an existence was something that even Great Wei’s imperial family had to be very afraid of.

However, by the time Chu Yunfan’s combat strength was confirmed to be a Core, it was already too late. In a short time, Chu Yunfan had developed into a behemoth, reaching a level that the emperor could not imagine.

It had only been a short while, but things had already developed to a point where he could not control it. As for Chu Yunfan’s youth, although he had long known about it, when he really saw it, he could not help but feel very surprised.

Chu Yunfan was at most 20 years old. He even looked like an 18-year-old teenager. This was the most terrifying thing. He felt a chill in his heart. Such a person was too monstrous.

“Do you regret it?” Chu Yunfan looked at the emperor. If it weren’t for him, there wouldn’t be so many waves. He could have left without any worries.

“I…I don’t regret it!” the emperor said through gritted teeth. His eyes were unusually firm, but there was some regret in his heart. It was not that he regretted attacking Chu Yunfan, but that he regretted not attacking Chu Yunfan earlier.

He should have taken action before Chu Yunfan had grown to such a stage where he could not control the situation. He didn’t think that there was anything wrong with taking action. He was an emperor, and his first choice was to destroy an existence that he couldn’t control. This was because this was determined by the nature of one born to be an emperor.

“Very well.” Chu Yunfan looked at the emperor. If he knelt down and begged for mercy, Chu Yunfan would look down on him. But now, he didn’t care, because no matter what he did, it was impossible to change the current situation.

“I wanted to kill you myself, but since you surrendered at the last moment and didn’t commit any more sins, I’ll gave you some face,” Chu Yunfan said slowly.

With that, he walked out and gave the father and son time to say their final goodbyes.

After Chu Yunfan left, the emperor stared at Wei Wuya and suddenly burst into laughter. “Well done. As expected of my child. You’re bold, my son!”

In truth, before this incident, he would never have thought that it would be Wei Wuya. After all, Wei Wuya wasn’t outstanding among his many children, and he didn’t have any impression of Wei Wuya. He only cared about the few princes who had the strength and ability to fight for the throne.

As for the other princes, they were usually taken care of by the Imperial Court. This had always been the case in Great Wei. The neglected sons of concubines lived stable lives, with no chance of making a comeback. However, Wei Wuya had completely broken this rule. Although he had borrowed the power of others, it had to be said that this was very unexpected.

“Father, I didn’t want this to happen.” Wei Wuya sighed. “In fact, all these years, all of the princes feel as if you don’t think of us more than dogs. To outsiders, we may seem like princes and have great honor, but in reality, all of us have lived in fear, afraid that one of our brothers will find us an eyesore and eliminate us.”
“You don’t have to say any of this,” the emperor said. The corners of his mouth curled up into a cold smile as he said, “Great Wei has a feudal system, so of course, there will only be one winner in the end. Even if you live like dogs, you can still live well. It’s better than dying. Forget me. Even your children will be like this in the future. The imperial family will enjoy glory and wealth, and this is just one of the prices.”

The emperor’s words left Wei Wuya speechless. After all, this was the fate of the imperial family. To ensure the stability of the family, every emperor had no choice but to give birth to many princes. However, there was only one emperor in the end, so it was naturally impossible for everyone to be treated well.

This was fate.

“Do you know why I announced my surrender? It’s not because I’m afraid of you. In fact, even with Chu Yunfan’s help, it won’t be so easy for you to enter the capital. At least I’ll make you pay the price before I die,” the emperor proclaimed as he stared at Wei Wuya. “You’re my son. Although you’re not my favorite, the throne won’t be considered to have fallen if it’s in your hands.”

Wei Wuya took a deep breath and said, “In that case, then I’ll’d for you to write an abdication edict, Father.”

The Emperor stared at Wei Wuya and said, “As the Emperor of Great Wei, I choose to surrender and let you take over the country. However, as a father, I have to punish you, you naughty boy. You will carry the title of usurper and live in its shadow for the rest of your life!”

As he said that, the emperor suddenly circulated his divine power. All the meridians in his body instantly exploded, breaking his own meridians.

‘Oh no!’

Wei Wuya thought that it was bad, but it was already too late to stop it. He could only watch helplessly as the emperor fell. He could vaguely see the emperor silently mouth the words, “Be careful of Chu Yunfan.”
