Chapter 358 The Ugliest Human Nature
Let’s talk about Zhao Haoli. He is now closing his eyes and immersed in cultivation.
Suddenly, an extremely powerful aura gushed out from his body.
"This... this is the aura of the Martial King Realm!"
Zhao Haoli suddenly opened his eyes, his face filled with unbelievable joy: "It seems that the elixir given by the emperor's uncle is really effective. I actually broke through to the Martial King realm!"
He was so excited that he was shaking all over and could hardly control himself.
You know, he has been stuck at the peak of the Grandmaster level for a long time. Now he has finally broken through this bottleneck and stepped into the door of the Martial King realm. How could he not be ecstatic?
"Great! I must go tell my uncle the emperor this good news. He will definitely be happy for me!"
Zhao Haoli muttered to himself excitedly, then ran away like a gust of wind and arrived at the door of the study in the blink of an eye.
However, just as he was about to step into the study, a strange and heavy breathing sound came from inside.
Zhao Haoli was stunned and his steps hesitated.
"This voice..." He thought to himself, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
Before he could figure it out, his mother's voice rang out in the study: "My Lord, the Crown Prince is going to attack Li Kingdom this time. You must send more people over. You must make sure that the Crown Prince dies in Li Kingdom!"
"Yes, Ling'er, don't worry. I will immediately dispatch a thousand top Martial Emperor Realm experts and two Venerable Realm masters to kill him in Li Country!" Zhao Yucheng's icy voice was like a poisonous blade.
"Clang!"
The carved wooden door was kicked open fiercely, Zhao Haoli's black brocade robe fluttered, and the jade belt around his waist hit the door frame, making a clear sound.
Veins bulged on his forehead and his eyes were bloodshot, like an enraged trapped beast.
"Who is going to die..."
Zhao Yucheng stood up suddenly, and the teacup beside the bed shattered on the blue brick floor with a "bang".
Yin Ling'er was curled up on the bed wrapped in a scarlet nightgown, her black hair scattered like a waterfall, and her white jade-like cheeks instantly lost all color.
The moment their eyes met, Yin Ling'er saw the turbulent waves surging in her son's eyes, which were a complex emotion mixed with despair, anger and deep disappointment.
She hurriedly pulled the quilt over her shoulders, her voice trembling slightly: "Li'er, Li'er, it's not what you think..."
"You, you guys are really disgusting." Zhao Haoli let out a suppressed growl, veins popping out of his sleeves. "Mother, this is the last time I'm going to call you. Get out! Get out of this room right now!"
Being pointed at in the nose and called disgusting by her own son, Concubine Yin turned pale.
"How dare you! How dare you treat your mother like this?" Zhao Yucheng raised his eyebrows and said, "I am your biological father!"
"You are lying, get out of here, I don't want to see you, a hypocrite!" Zhao Haoli was a little out of control.
Zhao Yucheng didn't expect that the once well-behaved and sensible child would become so ferocious now. He couldn't help but want to emphasize again: "I am telling the truth. I am..."
"Enough!" Yin Ling'er suddenly interrupted with a sharp voice, digging her nails deeply into her palms.
She looked at her son's red eyes, which hurt her so much, and felt a sharp pain in her heart: "Prince, please go back first."
Zhao Yucheng's sinister gaze wandered between the two of them, and finally he left with a flick of his sleeves.
The moment the heavy door closed, Yin Ling'er had already put on her clothes and stumbled towards Zhao Haoli: "Li'er, listen to my explanation. This is all for your own good..."
"That's enough. Everything is for my own good. But do you know what I really need?" Zhao Haoli suddenly shook her hand away.
"The concubines in the harem colluded with the prince and conspired to assassinate the prince. Have you ever thought about how your father would feel? The emperor's uncle actually said that he was my biological father. How do you explain this?"
Yin Ling'er's pupils suddenly shrank, and her fingertips trembled slightly: "Don't listen to his nonsense! You are His Majesty's biological child, and your mother is just using him..."
She bit her lower lip, a fierce look flashing in her eyes, "Once the crown prince is eliminated, you will be the best candidate for the heir. Then we, mother and son..."
"Shut up!" Zhao Haoli's neck, veins bulging, rose and fell violently. "Even if I, Zhao Haoli, have no chance of becoming emperor, I will not resort to such despicable means! Go away! I don't want to see you again!"
Yin Ling'er sat on the ground, the hairpin rolled down her hair: "Li'er, mother was wrong, please forgive me this time..."
Zhao Haoli took a deep breath, turned his back to her, and stopped looking at her. His knuckles were clenched until they turned white. "I won't make anything public about what happened today, but if you dare to touch the Crown Prince..."
"Don't blame me for not thinking about the relationship between mother and son." His voice was as cold as ice in December.
Yin Ling'er slowly stood up and walked out of the study. Each step seemed extremely heavy, as if her legs were being dragged by an invisible force.
She turned her head again and looked at Zhao Haoli, her eyes revealing deep worry.
However, she was afraid that if she stayed any longer, her beloved Li'er would go crazy and might even let His Majesty know about this.
Finally, she gritted her teeth, turned around and left in the twilight.
Zhao Haoli watched Yin Ling'er walking away, and his body seemed to have lost its support and suddenly became extremely weak.
His legs became weak and he could not stand for a moment longer. Finally, he fell heavily onto the large chair.
At this moment, Zhao Haoli's heart was overwhelmed by endless hatred.
He hated his mother's cruelty and shamelessness, and also hated her for treating his own sister in the same way;
He hated the emperor's uncle's hypocrisy, hated that he seemed to care for him but secretly harbored evil intentions towards the crown prince;
He hated this world even more, hated it for allowing him to witness the ugliest side of human nature at such a young age.
"Royal sister, where are you? Li'er misses you so much!" Zhao Haoli's voice echoed in the empty palace, with a crying tone, full of sadness and despair.
The boy, who was less than ten years old, was crying uncontrollably at this moment, tears streaming down his tender cheeks like a flood.
