Chapter 1484: Don’t Even Think About Getting the Imperial Edict!

In the imperial study, Master Shao gripped the old Emperor’s chin and shoved the poison into his mouth.

He even grabbed the teacup on the table and poured the tea down the old Emperor’s throat to ensure the poison entered his body quickly.

The old Emperor tried to struggle but was no match for the martially-trained Master Shao. Even though he had once stayed at Huayan Peak, many years had passed since. He even had many sons who could fight endlessly for the throne.

He had long forgotten about his experience on Huayan Peak.

He could only watch helplessly as Master Shao forced him to consume the poison. He could not even protest.

“Don’t worry, Your Majesty. This poison won’t kill you for the time being. As long as you listen to me obediently and write the abdication edict, I’ll give you the antidote and let you live out your days in the palace.”

After his plan succeeded, Master Shao looked at the old Emperor with a smile and spoke proudly.

He believed that once he had the old Emperor under his control, the throne would definitely be theirs. The old Emperor would have to listen to him obediently.

However, he might have miscalculated.

The old Emperor only had one thought in his mind—he would never write the abdication edict.

He could live a little longer if he did not write it. Otherwise, he would really be offering his life to the Shao family with both hands.

He never expected Prince Luoyang, whom he had always doted on, to do something so vicious for the throne.

He refused to believe that Prince Luoyang had no idea what Master Shao had done to him.

Without hesitation, the old Emperor replied firmly, “Don’t even think about getting the imperial edict!”

He had once considered passing the throne to Prince of Luoyang. But now? Dream on! He would rather pass the throne to his unfilial third son than to Prince Luoyang, who wanted to take his life.

At the very least, the Third Prince did not want to kill him!

“You—” Master Shao was furious and raised his hand, ready to slap the old Emperor.

But he did not succeed because an arrow tore through the air and pierced through his elbow, breaking the tendons in his hand.

“Ah!” He could not help but scream and let go of the old Emperor.

The old Emperor took the opportunity to push Master Shao far away. He turned around and crawled to the other side.

As he crawled, he shouted, “Protect me! Protect the Emperor! Someone, protect me!”

When Master Shao heard his cries, he endured the pain in his hand and wanted to pounce on the old Emperor and kill him.

He had made preparations. Even if someone saw him kill the old Emperor, he was still confident that he could seize the throne. However, if the old Emperor was not dead…

The Shao family would be finished, and Prince Luoyang would die.

He had witnessed the old Emperor’s ruthlessness. There was no kinship to speak of in the royal family. Sons were nothing in front of the throne. Many would die.

“I’ll kill you, you dog emperor… Uh!”

He attacked the old Emperor with his other intact hand, but another sharp arrow tore through the air and pierced him before he could even step forward.

He was furious, and his fury only surged with the knowledge that his hands were now crippled.

Glaring outside the imperial study with bloodshot eyes, he shouted, “Who is it? Who dares to go against me?”
