"I want to torture you to death!" Prince Le spoke lightly, "I want to see you molested by a group of eunuchs, and I also want to see you stripped naked by a group of old palace maids."
"Your sons and ministers are too disobedient." At this point, Prince Le was very displeased, "Clearly the Great Zhou is already in chaos, yet theyāve managed to settle it down. I certainly do not want to see this situation, so I have to emerge again."
"You..." Every word from Prince Le left Sikong shocked.
The earlier words carried some hatred, making Sikong unable to help but ponder if these were experiences he had personally endured.
"Are you asking me what I want to do?" Prince Leās gaze was a bit unfocused, before finally saying, "I donāt want to do anything, I just want everything to be chaotic, that would satisfy me. The world is too quiet and so lonely."
"As for you, make sure you donāt die. If you dare to die, I will ensure the extinction of your Baili Family." Patting Sikongās cheek, he continued, "Stay here obediently. If you get lonely, Iāll find some people to keep you company. Donāt think of escaping, first, you wonāt be able to escape, and second, even if you do, no one will believe you. Donāt doubt it, thereās something Iāve always forgotten to tell you. I found someone to impersonate you, and now that person is dead. During the funeral, Baili Yan realized that person was not you, but he did not reveal it. Instead, he let it be, and buried that person as the Grand Emperor."
"So, now everyone believes that the Grand Emperor of the Great Zhou is dead."
"You..." Sikong was somewhat dumbfounded, not expecting so much had happened during the days of his disappearance.
"Are you disappointed? That your son discovered it but did not send anyone to find you, instead claiming that you were dead. He truly is your good son."
Saying this, Prince Le stood up, no longer looking at him.
As he walked out of the prison door, he added, "Bring some people to keep him entertained."
"Yes!"
"You beast!!"
Sikongās voice came from behind, but it didnāt stop Prince Le.
"Hehe, heard heās an Emperor?"
"Really?"
"Letās have fun together, who has ever played with an Emperor!"
"Yes, yes, it would be worth it even if it meant death this time..."
"..."
The sounds inside were lewd and filthy, he seemed to return to the day when news of his motherās death arrived.
The weather was very cold, yet the entire hall was noisy.
People came and went, someone holding a box of jewelry, someone holding a few pieces of clothing.
Someone even took his possessions.
It was something he cherished mostāa lion made from gold, crafted into the shape of a coin.
It was his belonging, and for the first time, he wanted to fight back and reclaim it, only to be slapped by a young eunuch.
The palace was such a realistic place, where without favor, life was no better than that of a beggar.
That good-for-nothing, oh no, that was him, could only cry, only cry...
By nighttime, the once ornately decorated palace turned into a cold palace in just one day, so quiet, so quiet, like a haunted house in a desolate mountain wilderness...
Then sordid laughter echoed, laughter which was nauseating and made one want to vomit.
Escape was impossible, and rescue was out of the question.
"Why do we have to become eunuchs?"
"Why canāt we be normal men?"
"Why are we bullied?"
"..."
In the end, the young eunuchs died by suicide before he could do anything, they killed themselves out of fear.
