The younger sister-in-law falsely accused the sickly uncle and ran away with the baby

Chapter 501 Stop pretending

Qin Guoan frowned slightly, but he did not answer this question. Instead, he asked, "What time is it now?"

"Father! Why are you asking this? Our lives and ours are now entirely in your hands. If you write the decree of succession, you can save our lives."

Qin Guoan continued to inquire, "Just tell me what time it is now. I will find a way to save our lives. There's no need to go that far."

"Dad! Why don't you believe me? If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't have rescued you from that place. Dad, don't you still believe me? I am the most filial son to you!" Qin Shi looked anxious.

Qin Guoan remained silent, but the look he gave Qin Shi was already full of suspicion!

Qin Shi saw that Qin Guoan was still hesitant, and felt that the anger that had been pent up for a long time was no longer under control.

"Dad, what are you thinking? Why don't you trust your son? I am your own flesh and blood!"

"Why is it so difficult for you to pass on the throne? Are the guilt you just said towards me all fake?"

Qin Guoan looked at his furious son and asked again, but this time he changed the subject. "Qin Shi! Is Qin Haowen really planning to usurp the throne? Who in the palace did he team up with? And from which route did he attack? Why is there not a trace of blood on the road leading to the Imperial Study? There isn't even a single guard. Under whose protection did you, a prince with no martial arts skills, break into my room? And even bring me safely to the Imperial Study?"

"Why didn't you tell me something as simple as the time?"

"Is he eyeing my position covetously, or is this all a drama you staged and directed yourself?"

Qin Shi looked at his father with a hurt face, "Father, are you still doubting me? Qin Haowen's mother is the queen and controls the entire harem. Who do you think he is colluding with?"

Qin Guoan's eyes were filled with disappointment. "My son! I often tell you that you are too stupid, but you always think that I favor your brother."

"You said you came up with so many plans to kill Qin Haowen, but they were always broken."

"Do you think you can really deceive me with a mind like yours?"

"I am only ill, not stupid. But if you were a little more ruthless, and made your wounds more severe, or if you allowed your men to be less restrained when they were killing each other, and took a few more lives, perhaps I would really believe it."

"But you have too many flaws and are too impatient. How can I trust you with this? Even if I do, can you truly hold on to it?"

"Moreover, in order to help your sister snatch someone else's husband, you brutally murdered the goddess, completely disregarding your father's life or death. If someone like you comes to power, will you really let my other sons go?"

"If I really wrote an edict to pass on the throne, I'm afraid I would be the one to die in the next second."

At this moment, the sadness on Qin Shi's face completely dissipated. He slowly stood up and looked down at his father, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "Father! I didn't want to end up like this, but you forced me to do this."

"There are more respectable ways, but you chose this."

"why?"

"Do you still want to pass the position to that Qin Haowen?"

"Ha!" Qin Shi laughed in anger.

"How am I worse than him?"

"Just because I haven't crawled out of Feng Han's belly, does that mean I have to be that chess piece willingly?"

"Oh! Don't forget, it wasn't my mother who begged you to sleep with her! It was you who rushed to sleep with my mother."

"You can't even take care of the two ounces of flesh under you, so why do you have to put all the blame on this woman?"

"Listen to yourself, isn't it ridiculous?"

Qin Guoan was so angry at these words that he trembled all over. "Unfilial son! I am your biological father!"

Qin Shi suddenly stepped forward, bent down, and fiercely grabbed his bright yellow clothes, "You should be thankful that you are my biological father, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to put on such a show in front of you."

"Since you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being rude."

"Here comes someone!"

A team of guards immediately rushed in from outside the door. They seemed not to notice Qin Guoan lying on the ground in a mess, but saluted Qin Shi respectfully.

"My subordinate is here!"

Qin Guoan was so angry that he cursed at the sight of his most trusted commander of the Imperial Guards, who actually ignored him and kowtowed to a traitor.

"Are you all blind? Can't you see that I, the emperor, am right here? Why are you bowing to this traitor? Capture him immediately."

But those people remained unmoved. Qin Shi smiled and said, "Father, you are not still naive enough to think that those secret guards you sent out will come back to save you, right?"

"Ah!"

"Those people died last night. They won't be back on time. I've also canceled the court meetings in your name."

"Let them all do their best to find the so-called goddess. So, do you think anyone will come looking for you?"

"Oh oh oh! By the way, are you placing all your hopes on your queen? And your beloved eldest prince?"

Qin Shi threw his head back and laughed crazily, his face ferocious. "Hahaha! Have you forgotten that at the banquet, you insulted Qin Haowen in every possible way, and even secretly issued an order that he could not enter the palace without being summoned? Aren't you afraid that he would know the true condition of your body and then try to usurp the throne?"

"He's such a stubborn person. He knows you're not in good health and will be angry when he sees you. He will definitely not come in. Oh, and I've already taken control of your queen. Now the entire palace is mine. How long can you hold on?"

Qin Guoan looked at him so arrogantly, and his teeth itched with hatred. "Bah, you beast!"

Qin Shi smiled and said, "Yes, I am a beast, so what are you?"

"Go! Capture His Majesty and tie him to the Dragon Throne. No matter what means you use, you must make him write a letter of abdication!"

"As ordered!"

Qin Guoan looked at the imperial guards in horror. He wanted to break free and awaken their loyalty to him, but these people were like puppets, saying nothing. They tied him roughly to the dragon throne and handed him a blank imperial edict!

Those people were busy writing and grinding ink, and no one took him, the emperor, seriously at all.

Qin Shi sat leisurely beside them, letting the people around him treat the wound on his shoulder.

"Father, please stop looking! No one will save you. Hurry and write down this letter of succession. Perhaps I will be merciful and spare your life."

"You beast! I won't write it, even if you kill me."
