The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 1317 Taboo
Qing Kingdom, Heavenly Prison.

Li Chengqian, Li Yunrui and Chen Pingping were detained in different places.

Since Li Chengqian and Li Yunrui were members of the royal family, Emperor Qing gave them a little face and only restricted their freedom without torturing them.

Chen Pingping was not so lucky. On the first day he was imprisoned, he was subjected to three tortures and was finally thrown into the cell in a bloody mess.

Li Chengqian and Li Yunrui shuddered when they saw Chen Pingping's miserable appearance, but they were not worried about becoming like Chen Pingping.

For five consecutive days, Emperor Qing did not send anyone to interrogate Li Chengqian and Li Yunrui. Emperor Qing was busy controlling the court, the inner treasury, and handling the funeral of the second prince Li Chengze, so he really had no time to take care of them.

With the downfall of Li Chengqian and Li Yunrui, a large number of princes and princesses were brought down, but there was one person who became proud.

He is the third prince Li Chengping.

Emperor Qing had four sons. The crown prince fell, the second prince died, and only the eldest prince Li Chengru and Li Chengping were still alive. Li Chengru's mother was originally a slave girl in Dongyi City and her birth was very low.

On the contrary, the mother of the third prince Li Chengping was from the Liu family in Kyoto, a prominent family, so there was almost no suspense about his position as crown prince.

The gate of the Liu family has been almost broken down by visitors these past two days. If the third prince wasn't so young and still being raised in the palace, it would probably be even more lively.

Just after the seventh day after the death of the Second Prince Li Chengze, Emperor Qing finally arrived at the Heavenly Prison.

When Li Chengqian saw his father, he was not as excited as one might imagine, nor did he beg for mercy. Instead, he was calm and composed. Only now did he finally have the bearing of a crown prince.

"Rebellious son." Emperor Qing snorted coldly and had a chair brought in. He sat outside Li Chengqian's cell. Next door was Li Yunrui's prison.

"Father, you are finally here. I thought I would not be able to see you before I died." Li Chengqian was still wearing the prince's attire and leaning against the wall. He did not greet Emperor Qing when he saw him.

"Why did you rebel?" Emperor Qing said coldly: "But you were bewitched by others."

Emperor Qing's words were intended to shirk responsibility for Li Chengqian. After all, he was his biological son and he had raised him for more than 20 years, so it was impossible for him not to have feelings for him.

Li Chengqian seemed to have guessed what Emperor Qing was thinking, but he was not happy at all. Instead, he excused Li Yunrui and said, "It was my idea to rebel, and my aunt was also dragged down by me. Father, can you spare her life?"

Emperor Qing was so angry that he smashed a chair. The iron bars of the cell were pushed open by his domineering inner energy and he walked straight in.

"Rebellious son, are you still stubborn?" Emperor Qing said angrily, "Do you think I don't know about your little affair with Li Yunrui?"

Li Chengqian was shocked, and finally a trace of panic appeared on his face.

Emperor Qing slapped Li Chengqian and said bitterly, "I have placed high hopes on you since you were a child. I made you the crown prince early on and taught you by my side. But for a woman, you dared to kill your brother and father, plot a rebellion, and waste your bright future. You are really disappointing!"

After Li Chengqian and Li Yunrui were imprisoned, Emperor Qing sealed off the Prince's Eastern Palace and the Princess's Mansion, and all the people were arrested and imprisoned.

Then he found out something unexpected.

There was actually an affair between Li Chengqian and Li Yunrui, aunt and nephew. This outrageous act almost made Emperor Qing furious, and he directly ordered everyone in the Eastern Palace and the Princess' Mansion to be killed.

"Father, please spare my aunt!" Li Chengqian suddenly hugged Emperor Qing's thigh and cried bitterly.

"Useless thing." Emperor Qing kicked Li Chengqian away. If he hadn't lost a son, he would have cut Li Chengqian into pieces.

"I don't want to see you anymore. We father and son will never see each other again." Emperor Qing closed his eyes, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.

Two eunuchs rushed into the Tianlao, dragged Li Chengqian away, and put him in the Zongrenfu, where he would be imprisoned forever until the day he died.

"Father, please spare my aunt!" Li Chengqian was still stubborn and pleaded for Li Yunrui.

Emperor Qing turned around and went to Li Yunrui's cell again, looking at this vicious woman coldly.

"Royal brother, why are you looking at me like that? It's as if you want to eat me up." Li Yunrui was not panicked at all and was still showing off her charm.

"Li Yunrui, what on earth are you going to do?" Emperor Qing slapped Li Yunrui in the face. Although he didn't use his true energy, it made Li Yunrui's face swell up. Li Yunrui covered his cheek and suddenly laughed.

"Haha, my brother, this is the first time you hit me. Do you still remember? Back then in Prince Cheng's Mansion, you loved me the most."

Emperor Qing frowned slightly and said through gritted teeth: "Is this how you repay my love?"

Li Yunrui laughed and said, "In the past few years, I have always wanted to go back to my childhood, when you and Fan Jian played with me all day long, spoiled me, and loved me. But until that woman appeared, everything changed."

"Shut up." Emperor Qing said angrily.

Li Yunrui said indifferently: "What's so good about Ye Qingmei that makes so many men obsessed with her?"

"I told you to shut up." Emperor Qing slapped Li Yunrui again, and this time Li Yunrui spat out two teeth.

Li Yunrui looked at Emperor Qing angrily and said, "After Ye Qingmei appeared, you changed. You only have eyes for her and no one else. You even trampled on my love."

"What did you say?" Emperor Qing widened his eyes and took a few steps back.

Li Yunrui rolled his eyes at Emperor Qing and said, "Brother, you are still pretending to be confused with me. Don't think I don't know that you have known that I like you for a long time."

Emperor Qing's face was terribly gloomy, and he said angrily: "You are my sister!"

"I am the Queen Mother's adopted daughter. I have no blood relationship with you." Li Yunrui argued.

"No, you don't understand." Emperor Qing struggled.

"Yes, I don't understand. I don't understand what I am inferior to Ye Qingmei." Li Yunrui said unwillingly: "I, Li Yunrui, can do what Ye Qingmei can do. Why don't you love me?"

Emperor Qing had such a hard time that he really wanted to slap Li Yunrui to death.

"Hahaha!" Chen Pingping's crazy laughter came from the cell opposite.

"Princess! Princess! Since you can't get Li Yunlong's love, you go to seduce his son. You are really a crazy woman!" Chen Pingping lay on the ground, laughing crazily.

Emperor Qing looked at Chen Pingping angrily and shouted: "Don't laugh, I order you not to laugh!"

"Li Yunlong, do you think you can still order me now?" Chen Pingping's face was covered in blood, but his expression was surprisingly indulgent.

"Li Yunrui, don't you want to know why Li Yunlong doesn't want to love you? Let me tell you!" Chen Pingping laughed wantonly:
"You and Li Yunlong are siblings, so of course he can't love you."

"Nonsense." Li Yunrui yelled, "I am the Queen Mother's adopted daughter."

Emperor Qing's face changed, and he shouted to Chen Pingping: "Shut up, I tell you to shut up."

Chen Pingping did not listen to Emperor Qing at all and continued: "Back then, the late emperor fell in love with a tea-picking girl in the folk and got pregnant. The empress dowager took you back to raise as a daughter for the sake of the palace's reputation.
Li Yunrui, you are Li Yunlong's biological sister, and the person you seduced is also your own nephew!"

Emperor Qing shouted angrily: "Chen Pingping, you are looking for death."

Boom.

Emperor Qing smashed the prison door with one palm, as if he really wanted to kill Chen Pingping.

"Haha, Li Yunlong, you dare not kill me." Chen Pingping closed his eyes and said shockingly.

Emperor Qing's palm stopped when it was three inches away from Chen Pingping's head.

"Hehe." Chen Pingping said happily: "You really already know that Li Chengru and Li Chengping have been poisoned by my chronic poison. I am the only one in the world who has the antidote."

"Hand over the antidote." Emperor Qing pulled Chen Pingping up and said angrily.

Chen Pingping said proudly: "I just want you, Li Yunlong, to have no descendants, so why would I give you the antidote?"
