Chapter 544 Joy of Life 100
Chen Pingping closed his eyes, his emotions surging like waves, and he frantically shouted to kill the Emperor Qing in front of him.
Although he had long suspected that Emperor Qing had killed Ye Qingmei, he still couldn't help but feel angry when he heard the other party admit it.
"Little Leaf is like a fairy, unable to bear the suffering of this world, so she came to this mortal realm." Chen Pingping's voice trembled slightly.
"She did everything she could to help you, to help Qingguo, and to help millions of people in the world, but why can't you tolerate her?"
She never pursued fame or fortune, nor did she ever intend to harm you. As for the drawbacks of domineering true energy, she was unaware of them; otherwise, why wouldn't she have told you?
And if that technique were truly harmful, why would she pass it on to her own son?
Emperor Qing had now regained his composure and his expression had returned to its usual coldness.
Upon hearing Chen Pingping mention Ye Qingmei, his gaze became distant, as if penetrating the walls of the Imperial Study and looking towards the small building deep within the palace, where he saw the portrait hanging.
The woman in the yellow dress in the portrait is only shown from behind, yet it is enough to highlight her extraordinary, refined, and otherworldly beauty.
"A fairy?" Emperor Qing sneered, his words sharp: "Is it I who cannot tolerate her, or the world that cannot tolerate her?"
"In your hearts, she is radiant and holy, without any flaw. She is like a compassionate deity who saves all living beings from suffering, untouched by dust and perfect."
Emperor Qing's gaze swept over Chen Pingping, his tone tinged with sarcasm: "Whether it's you, Fan Jian, or even that good-for-nothing Prince Jing, you've all elevated her to a divine status."
"But was she really that good? Or is it because she's dead that when you remember her, you've poured all the good things in the world onto her?"
Emperor Qing looked at Chen Pingping coldly and continued without mercy: "She is intelligent, but she lacks the cunning to scheme against people; she is kind and benevolent, but she doesn't know how to weigh the pros and cons; she is compassionate, but she only knows how to talk the talk but not walk the walk."
But don't forget, she's a human being too!
As human beings, we experience joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness; as human beings, we have seven emotions and six desires; as human beings, we also have the darkness of human nature.
She's kind and compassionate? Hahaha!
Emperor Qing's voice grew colder, each word piercing Chen Pingping like ice: "You think I'm cold-blooded and ruthless, but how much better is she than me?"
Ultimately, Ye Qingmei was nothing more than someone with lofty ideals but lacking the practical ability to achieve them. Every single thing I promised her back then has now been fulfilled.
"If the journey to Mount Da Dong goes smoothly, I will be able to eliminate the other Grandmasters. At that time, my empire will last for millennia, unifying the four seas, and bringing eternal peace to all people."
Upon hearing this, Chen Pingping shook her head, her face as pale as paper, her voice filled with barely suppressed indignation: "You are selfish, hypocritical, cold-hearted, and think that Xiao Yezi is just like you."
"In the end, you are nothing more than a puppet driven by ambition. Before you are firmly seated on the throne, Xiao Yezi is an indispensable helper for you."
However, once the throne is secure, she becomes the biggest threat in your eyes.
Because you know that if her plan in Danzhou succeeds, you will completely lose your power.
"You are unwilling to give up your ambitions, unwilling to give up your dream of unifying the world, unwilling to give up your obsession with establishing unparalleled achievements, and even less able to tolerate anyone shaking your supreme imperial power."
So you begin to fear; you fear that one day she will drag you down from this corrupt throne, and you will be powerless to stop it.
Chen Pingping looked up and stared directly at Emperor Qing, his tone becoming increasingly impassioned: "So your heart is filled with fear, dread, and unease, which eventually turned into deep inferiority."
You cannot accept a woman being superior to you, nor can you tolerate her brilliance overshadowing your own.
At this point, Chen Pingping's voice grew increasingly impassioned, almost a mournful roar: "So after the situation in the court stabilized, you ruthlessly killed her. When she was giving birth to your child and her body was at its weakest, you cruelly took her life."
At this moment, Chen Pingping's gaze was no longer calm as usual, but filled with raging anger, as if he wanted to tear the person in front of him apart and devour him.
Faced with his accusations, Emperor Qing scoffed coldly, a contemptuous smile playing on his lips: "Finally, you've spoken your mind. It seems dogs really shouldn't be overfed."
His tone was full of sarcasm: "You are nothing but a eunuch, yet I made an exception and promoted you to head the Censorate, involved in military secrets, and bestowed upon you unparalleled power and glory. But now, for Ye Qingmei, you have betrayed me without hesitation."
Emperor Qing looked at the old dog in the wheelchair with a probing expression and said calmly, "You vowed to take revenge on me and kill all members of the Li royal family to avenge Ye Qingmei, but what about Fan Xian? Although his name is now 'Fan Xian,' he is also my son and a member of the Li royal family! Do you want to kill him too? He is Ye Qingmei's only remaining bloodline in this world!"
Emperor Qing had already concluded that Chen Pingping and others harbored rebellious intentions and that their ultimate goal was to put Fan Xian on the throne.
In his eyes, Chen Pingping's revenge was nothing more than a smokescreen.
Its essence is still to seek benefits for Fan Xian and pave a bright road for him to the throne.
So although he seems to be waiting for Chen Pingping's answer, he has actually already guessed what the other party will say.
Chen Pingping will do everything in his power to distance himself from Fan Xian and avoid implicating him. He might even speak ill of Fan Xian when he is mentioned.
Sure enough, when Chen Pingping heard Emperor Qing mention Fan Xian, his heart skipped a beat, knowing that the main event of the day was about to begin.
The reason he could speak freely in front of Emperor Qing and pour out all the resentment he had buried for many years was because he had already seen his own fate and knew that Emperor Qing would never let him go.
That's why he could be so unrestrained, wanting to vent all his resentment and bitterness before he died.
Otherwise, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will continue to pretend to be a loyal minister and general, delaying as much time as possible to make his revenge plan flawless, while also making more thorough plans for Fan Xian's future.
Unfortunately, all of that is impossible now.
His death is not a pity, but he must not implicate Fan Xian.
Chen Pingping had already made up his mind, and a look of disgust appeared on his face: "Fan Xian? Humph! He's a bastard! His existence is a desecration of Ye Qingmei."
If it weren't for giving birth to him, how could Xiao Yezi have been so weak?
