The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Chapter 1385 The Outcome: Ye Chu'ao Goes Mad

The deposed Crown Prince Ye Chu'ao is currently residing in his former residence. He has been stripped of his title and is now a commoner, with no further connection to power or wealth.

In this deserted and desolate mansion, only he and a gatekeeper remained.

Furthermore, Ye Chu'ao's previous indulgence in lust and improper conduct had already ruined his health. Later, he was poisoned by Doctor Wu with the Northern Cold Poison, which shortened his lifespan and caused further damage. Then, he was given potent drugs that harmed his body by Doctor Luo and his group of Northern Cold doctors. Now, even if he hasn't been seriously injured, as time goes by, he won't live long or well.

Everything was, in fact, his own fault.

The only fortunate thing was that Ye Chu'ao was spared his life and was still able to live in this mansion. This could be considered a trace of mercy shown to him by the Night King.

A light drizzle fell, a cool breeze blew, and the courtyard was desolate.

Ye Chu'ao sat dejectedly on the threshold, like a lonely, dying beggar.

He was filled with remorse; he shouldn't have impulsively provoked Night King and Yun Mujiu again!

He was just thinking that since he finally had an opportunity, how could he not seize it and ruin Night King and Yun Mujiu's lives? But he didn't expect to fail and end up with a tragic fate.

Then, he sighed mournfully, wishing he had kept his plot to rebel more discreet!

Despite his apparent attempts to keep a low profile, the Night King still managed to uncover his private activities. It's true that the Crown Prince's residence possesses dragon robes and a throne, and it's also true that he privately trained and raised an army, and forged and stockpiled weapons. The Night King truly possesses an incredibly powerful intelligence network!

But what did he do wrong? His father was increasingly disappointed with his performance, and even his mother was becoming more and more indifferent to him. He had already fallen from the position of crown prince, which was once popular with thousands, and now there were rumors that his health was failing. Meanwhile, his power and support were being constantly suppressed and reduced by the Night King.

He watched helplessly as his so-called brothers and sisters rose through the ranks, while his life became increasingly miserable. How could he accept this?

Ye Chufeng, the lowly son of a musician, how did his blind eyes heal completely! Ye Chuhe, a good-for-nothing with only a pretty face, how can his crippled leg stand up! Ji Ling, a little princess with no presence, why can she regain people's attention and favor!

Of course he was going to give it his all; the position of crown prince was rightfully his. He was determined to reclaim his throne, ascend to the pinnacle of power, and then who would dare look down on him? He would be the new emperor of the Zhongyue Dynasty!

"Damn it!" His memories of the past ended there; Ye Chu'ao couldn't bear to think about it anymore. What good were his beautiful fantasies? Reality was staring him in the face; he had utterly lost.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Chu'ao was filled with regret again.

"I should never have underestimated Yun Mujiu before! How could I have overlooked such a gem like her!" If he were with Yun Mujiu, his career would definitely be booming by now! And his relationship with Yun Mujiu would only get better and better!

Ye Chu'ao was filled with remorse and wailed repeatedly. The injuries from yesterday's caning were still there, and he was in excruciating physical and mental pain.

At this moment, a servant came over and whispered a few words in Ye Chu'ao's ear.

Ye Chu'ao's eyes widened. "My background?"

As the deposed crown prince pondered the matter more carefully, his usually dull mind had a moment of enlightenment.

Considering the Empress's attitude towards him over the years, the way she educated and taught him, and her actions towards him in recent months.

Upon further reflection, he admitted that it was wrong of him to keep his plan to seize the throne a secret from his mother, but why did his mother show no intention of saving him when he was exposed?

Although he knew that at that time, it would be good enough if his mother could protect herself and the Jing family!

"But why won't my mother show me any concern, not even a lip service of kindness?"

Guided by a secret message from the Night King, Ye Chu'ao suddenly understood.

He finally understood everything.

"So, I wasn't Mother's child at all! Ha! Ha! Ha! How utterly ridiculous, how utterly ridiculous!"

Ye Chu'ao laughed miserably, a laugh so maniacal it terrified the servant, who turned pale: "Your Highness..."

"Shut up! I'm no longer the Crown Prince!" He felt like vomiting when he heard the word "Crown Prince".

Ye Chu'ao's face was contorted with rage, and his laughter was chilling. The rain continued to fall, and his eerie laughter echoed above the empty courtyard.

What a complete madman!

...

The palace coup that occurred at the farewell banquet has become the biggest news in Zhongyue, the capital. Furthermore, news of this coup is spreading rapidly beyond the capital to other parts of the country.

In the Jingzhao Prefecture prison, Zongquan deliberately had a jailer reveal some news from the outside world to a father and daughter.

"Heh, interesting. Now the Regent has become the supreme ruler." Yun Bolang laughed bitterly. He had never thought highly of his annoying daughter from the beginning, and had never stood on his son-in-law's side.

Although he tried to curry favor with his so-called daughter and son-in-law as they rose to prominence, he didn't genuinely want to be on the son-in-law's side.

Because he firmly believed that only the current emperor could remain in this high position forever. Even if things went wrong, if the emperor stepped down, another prince would naturally take his place.

When the emperor was in power, he was the high-ranking and powerful Right Chancellor. When other princes ascended the throne, he was able to become the father-in-law of the next emperor, and his status and power continued to rise.

But to his utter surprise, he had completely bet on the wrong horse.

Oh, by the way, those two people are no longer considered his daughter and son-in-law.

Given his current status as a commoner, he can only respectfully address the other party as "Prince Night" and "Princess Night"!

Yun Bolang howled in pain many times, looking like a crazed gorilla.

"It's truly fate! Fate!"

The deposed prime minister, Yun Bolang, was unwilling to admit that he was inferior to the Night King and his wife, and could only ridiculously make up an excuse by saying that "he lost to fate"!

He ultimately lost in his life, and he realized that he seemed to have lost a lot.

"How is that possible? If the Night Prince becomes regent, wouldn't Yun Mujiu be even more glorious and successful?" Yun Shirou was no longer a normal person. Her hair was messy, her clothes were tattered, and her whole body exuded an indescribable death aura.

Although Yun Mujiu did indeed fulfill their initial agreement and completed the medical examination for her, and she could feel that her body was recovering and improving, it didn't change anything.

Even if she were cured of that illness, what then? Would it change her current situation? Would it change her future?

She has no room for advancement anymore; her life is just wasted.

Originally, she thought that after she recovered, she would have the opportunity to go out and make a comeback, climb the social ladder by marrying the regent, the crown prince, or other princes, and regain her former status as a noble lady, so that she could live a prosperous and wealthy life again.

However, unexpectedly, she was sent back to the Jingzhao Prefecture prison immediately after recovering at Yunmu Jiu Pharmacy.

The endless, dreary days here seem like they'll never end.

At this moment, Yun Shirou was so jealous and resentful that she was about to go crazy. She also felt a pang of regret.

If her family hadn't harmed Meng Wanzhou and Yun Mujiu back then, could their fate have been reversed and changed now? If she hadn't repeatedly tried to frame and harm Yun Mujiu, would she have ended up in this tragic situation?

But there is no such thing as "if" in this world.

"Ahhhhh!" Yun Shirou went into a frenzy and was then brutally beaten by the jailers who rushed over after hearing the noise.
