Chapter 918: Chapter 918 Committed a taboo_1 Chapter 918: Chapter 918 Committed a taboo_1 Upon hearing the words, Yang Wang’s expression immediately relaxed, and he quickly said, “Grandpa Emperor, rest assured, I will absolutely not reveal a single word about this matter in the future, and I will also impose a gag order on my people so they won’t divulge a thing!”
“A gag order,” Yang Wenxiao clicked his tongue, “For such matters, I feel more at ease having my own people take care of it.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Wang’s just recently relaxed mood tightened once again, “Grandpa Emperor, you…”
He hesitated as he was about to ask.
He wanted to ask but dared not.
Even though he had guessed it, the truth was so harsh that he didn’t dare to ask anymore.
Yang Wenxiao looked at him and slowly began to speak, “I have already had people take care of the gag order. In the Harem, your mother the consort, and your maternal Liu Family of the Capital City, their mouths have been sealed.”
Yang Wenxiao’s tone was casual as he spoke, as though discussing the weather.
But to Yang Wang’s ears, it was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue; his eyes suddenly widened, his face lost all color, his lips trembled, and he was unable to form a coherent sentence, “Grand… Grandpa Emperor, you… you…”
“It’s exactly what you’re thinking. Right now, they are all squatting in the big prison, with Consort Li gone from the Harem, and the Liu Family gone from the Capital City.” Yang Wenxiao’s words were very straightforward, very harsh.
“Do you know why I personally made the trip to Anping Village? It was to deal with you.”
“Our Yang Family has always had few progeny, and we, your father emperor and I, would not lay our hands on our own kin unless absolutely necessary. As a member of the Yang Family, your father emperor and I have given you many chances. Including just now, earlier I and your elder brother were drifting on about this and that, all in order to let you sense something amiss, to prompt you to admit your wrongs voluntarily.”
“But your performance has greatly disappointed me.”
Yang Wenxiao said while shaking his head, his expression full of regret.
Although he was rebuking Yang Wang, the pain in his heart was no less than the fear in Yang Wang’s heart.
The Yang Family had few members, and even fewer in the direct lineage, thus each prince was precious, and he grieved at the loss of even one.
“Previously, when you allowed your subordinates to falsify accounts and commit a bit of embezzlement and bribery, your father emperor and I endured it, even when your subordinates bullied others by virtue of their position, oppressing innocent citizens, we also endured.”
“But of all mistakes, you should never have struck at your elder brother, nor should you have entertained the idea of stealing explosives.”
As soon as Yang Wenxiao said this, Yang Wang, who was already pale, now turned as white as a sheet of paper. He had been kneeling, and upon hearing these words, his body swayed a few times before he collapsed to the ground.
Yang Wenxiao watched his reaction, and his face showed even greater pity, “Look at you! Where is there any semblance of a Yang Family member? Since you’re scared out of your wits, why did you foolishly commit those two acts in the first place!”
Having done what he did, if he had been a little tougher now and asked for forgiveness, he would have thought more highly of Yang Wang.
But now, he’s been frightened into paralysis!
Where was the courage he had when he attacked Yang Hao and stole the explosives?
Useless!
Yang Hao was sitting to the side, watching Yang Wang’s pathetic state, he pursed his lips and then spoke up, “Grandpa Emperor, since I’m alright now, let’s drop it.”
He had encountered an assassination while on the road back to the Imperial City from the Shuifeng Prefecture, but he had been lucky and had not been harmed.
With Yang Wang looking like this, he did not see him as a threat.
After all, they were brothers by blood, and Yang Wang’s life was already wasted anyway. Just let it be.
When Yang Wenxiao heard this, he glanced at him and said with displeasure, “He has committed not one, but two taboos!”
