Chapter 574: That Night 5 Years Ago, the Demon Was Released
When he heard Emperor Qiwen's decision on punishment, his first reaction was despair, and he felt that he had no chance of making a comeback.
But after he carefully thought about the words "three years of house arrest", he even felt that his father was protecting him by doing this!
He wanted him to lie low and recuperate, and wait until three years later when all the power of the other brothers had been exhausted. Then when he reappeared in the court, wouldn't he be the most powerful one?
But, does this really make sense?
He couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.
As if seeing through his thoughts, Baili Moqing said, "But, does your idea really make sense?"
Baili Moyin was stunned and looked at him in horror.
How does he know what he is thinking?
"Fourth brother, you should know very well what kind of person our father is!"
"If your impression of him is vague, you can think about my second brother."
He couldn't accept the existence of a person who was only a threat to him because of his outstanding political achievements. How could he tolerate the existence of the fourth brother who wanted to "rebel"?
The night five years ago suddenly appeared in front of Baili Moyin's eyes. It was a face that flickered under the thunder and lightning, full of indifference and ruthlessness.
To be honest, when the second brother was around, few of his brothers disobeyed him!
Even at that time, none of these brothers had the idea of fighting for the throne!
After all, with the eldest brother gone, the second brother was the first in line to inherit the throne. Furthermore, the second brother had always been kind and amiable, and the brothers had actually gotten along quite harmoniously when they were young...
"I never intended to kill him..."
Baili Moyin spoke in a daze, a miserable smile appeared on his face, and his slightly misty eyes revealed a bit of vague sadness and regret.
Perhaps he had considered competing for that position, but he truly admired the second son. Even if he wanted to compete, he only wanted to demonstrate his strength through fair and square means, so that his father would notice him and consider him...
But that night, he was suddenly summoned to the palace. It was also that night that the man he called "Father" completely opened the door that locked the "devil" in his heart.
My memory seemed to go back to that night.
The roaring thunder in the sky kept rising and falling, and dazzling lightning flashed from one end of the sky to the other; the scattered light was like an unknown poison, corroding the night, spreading rapidly, and then flashing away in the darkness.
That night, Emperor Qiwen put a dagger into his hand.
He clearly remembered that under the ups and downs of lightning, the indifference and determination on his face was completely different from what he usually saw.
"Skywalker Dagger?"
Baili Moyin looked at the dagger in his hand, a look of confusion on his face.
Wasn't this dagger awarded to the Seventh Brother at the celebration banquet two days ago? How did it end up in Father's hands again?
"This is not the Tianxing Dagger." The person in front of him spoke in a deep voice. It sounded very calm, but Baili Moyin felt a dangerous aura spreading around him.
"It's called Di Ting, and it's a pair with the Skywalker Dagger."
Baili Moyin's face was full of confusion as he pulled out the blade from the scabbard.
They are exactly the same!
But he remembered that at the celebration banquet a few days ago, his father had clearly said that the Tianxing Dagger given to the seventh brother was the only dagger in the world!
He looked at Emperor Qiwen with some confusion, not understanding what he meant by handing the dagger into his hand.
Until he said: "Fourth Brother, although I am still young, I often feel a sense of powerlessness."
"The position of Crown Prince is a matter of great importance to the entire Apocalypse. Although the Second Son has done a good job, I believe that all my sons are outstanding!"
He almost said directly, "If this second brother can do it, you can do it too!" How could someone as smart as Baili Moyin not understand?
When he came out of the Taiji Hall, Baili Moyin was completely dazed, as if his soul had been sucked away, until the heavy rain hit his body and face.
The biting cold penetrated his skin into his bones, as if it had taken root and sprouted, growing wildly in his body, until the cold completely devoured his control and he fell to the ground on the bluestone slabs in the heavy rain.
"Your Highness Prince Jin!!"
"Go away!"
A young eunuch came up behind him with an umbrella and wanted to help him up, but he was coldly pushed away.
Silver light flashed across the sky, and a dagger inlaid with crimson and black gems lay quietly on the bluestone slab.
At that moment, it was as if a door in his heart was suddenly opened, and something slipped out from that door.
He picked up the dagger, and all the lost strength seemed to come back to him in an instant.
He stood in the rain, head held high, letting the rain hit his face.
Ever since he made up his mind, he no longer felt cold. Instead, the blood in his body seemed to be boiling.
He laughed silently, his eyes fixed on the dazzling light that flashed in the darkness. Madness filled his hazy eyes.
Even though that happened many years ago, whenever he thought of that night, the temperature of his blood would rise uncontrollably, including now.
He continued to speak, as if he had opened a box of chatterboxes and no longer had any hidden thoughts.
"That day, he was very calm, as if he had anticipated his own outcome."
"You know what? Until my dagger pierced his chest, he looked at me with a very calm expression..."
It was as if she was comforting him, "Don't be afraid, it's not your fault, I don't blame you..."
Baili Moyin's body was shaking with laughter. "Isn't it ridiculous? I actually saw a man who had no hatred towards his brother who had killed him. Instead, he looked like he was comforting the murderer!"
"Does he think of himself as a god? Desireless, without desire, love, or hate?"
He didn't know if it was really that funny, but he laughed so hard that two tears rolled down his eyes.
Afterwards, he stopped smiling, wiped away the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes, and looked at Baili Moqing with a hint of arrogance in his eyes.
"But Seventh Brother, even if you know everything now, what can you do?"
"Kill me?"
"What will happen if you kill me? I was never the one who wanted to kill the second brother! And that person, you, will never be able to touch him!"
Baili Moqing clenched his fists tightly behind his back, trying hard to control his emotions.
"I want that Listening Dagger!"
After hearing this, Baili Moyin's face froze slightly, with disbelief in his eyes. "You want to listen? What do you want to do?"
He read hatred and determination in his eyes, "You want to force him to confess?"
Baili Moqing didn't say anything, but the determination in his eyes told his answer.
"Haha, this is crazy! What are you dreaming about?!"
He was the king, an inviolable existence of Apocalypse. Expecting him to admit the crime of killing his son? This was simply a fantasy!
"I just want that dagger!"
Baili Moqing spoke again, suppressing the anger and pain in his heart.
Baili Moyin shook his head, "You can't get that dagger! I won't give you the chance!"
"Haha, Old Seven, you brought this upon yourself today!"
A victorious smile appeared on his face, as if he had found a chance to survive.
