12 Let Me Show To Everyone

"Your Royal Highness, my brothers, have been hidden in the deepest and the most guarded place inside the prison."

While the entire military barracks are in a heavy atmosphere, Yusheng finally arrives in the military prison with the guidance of the young soldier, while there is only one hidden guard with him as his protection.

As for why Yusheng was confident to walk around the military barracks without various people protecting his life, the reason is rather interesting 

The Qi in Yusheng's dantian is quite dense and powerful, flowing vigorously in his meridians, which was completely different from how he remembers it in the previous life during his early youth.

It was similar to the enormous amount of Qi he had during the day he died.

Shortly, a different sound of footsteps resounds in the prison hall, nonetheless, his calm, firm and steady footsteps were noticeable among the others.

Just by the sound alone, a sharp person can easily notice how the person seems to carry certain strength and overwhelming confidence and nothing can ever sway his will.

"...Your Royal Highness, I'm sorry to make you go through this…"

An unusual weird smell drifts in their direction, Gouzhi can't help but have certain embarrassment on his face at the state of the prison in the military barracks, especially when no matter how decisive and capable the Imperial Prince was, in his recognition, the young man wasn't just experienced enough.

Yusheng's visible purple eye casually glances around the prison without any curiosity or dread. After receiving the previous life's memories, he already has the experience of seeing such bad circumstances.

"I don't mind."

Although the prison is meant for people who need to be punished for committing a crime, the place shouldn't be damp, dirty and unsanitary, at least, it should have been normally taken care of like the first row of prisons.

While the place where terrifying and ruthless situation that usually occurs should be in a more secure and specific location meant to interrogate and torture people.

In his last life, Yusheng didn't bother to check the prison barracks before putting more of his attention towards getting along and receiving most of the people's recognition.

"The management of this place needs to be investigated too."

There are so many inappropriate situations in the military barrack that Yusheng has chosen to stay, and he couldn't help but wonder how blind and naive he was in the past to miss all of it.

I was really ignorant and naive in my youth…

Although the members in the Royal family of Yusheng's age, which is already 15 years old, should have been mature and experienced, particularly good at detecting the scheme of others.

However, the Royal Family in Yusheng generation didn't face the usual trouble of facing countless hidden calculations of other people in the harem.

In the entire Royal Family under the present Emperor, there are only two Imperial Princes, as for the reason why, Yusheng's lips can't help but display an ironic smile while calmly walking deeper into the prisons, the soldiers being passed by had their head lowered down in fear.

Yusheng's mother is quite fortunate and capable enough to capture his Father Emperor heart, causing the people in the harem to either be disposed of by the serious crimes they committed.

It didn't matter if some were innocent, fortunately though, the innocent and less ambitious women were sent to the Cold Palace.

With their daily life taken care of as long as they remained quiet, they peacefully lived in such a place or else, had to face the consequences of death for daring to think what they shouldn't do.

The Emperor had been infatuated and began to focus all of his affection towards Yusheng's Mother, completely ignoring other women, and was extremely stubborn enough to fight against the Royal Officials whose power and influence had been affected by his supposedly unbelievable decision.

The only fortunate thing in the situation was the fact that the Emperor didn't turn into a useless ruler who was controlled by the Imperial Consort turned to the Empress, so there was nothing that the Royal Officials could do about the Emperor's decisive decision.

Of course, one couldn't run away from an accident happening inside the Palace, or more likely, the last dreadful plot of the previous Empress who almost won by planning to burn his older brother and him inside the Palace building to death.

Yusheng and his older brother almost died that day and this incident was also the fuse for causing the Emperor to become extremely determined enough to clean up the entire harem to keep them safe and sound.

Fire…

Yusheng started dreading fire from that moment on, when almost half of his left face was burned by the fire, but what made him guilty was the fact his older brother's body was severely burned after covering Yusheng's small body.

And yet, it's extremely ironic that he chose fire to end his life and everything around him in his previous life.

Although, there is another memory that he would have preferred to forget after unconsciously feeling the burning feeling over his face that is covered with the silver mask, along with the faint sobbing sound that seemed to suddenly ring in his ears.

'... I had to do this… sobs.. My Precious Yusheng… sobs…  You understand it right…?'

The soft sizzling sound… the smell of skin burning… the scream of pain…

Yusheng's visible eye can't help but slightly blur when one of his unforgettable and painful memories suddenly begins to affect his consciousness.

'... This is all for your sake…. Sobs… You will understand in the future… sobs… So don't blame me alright?'

… I… ___ … W-why…?

"Your Royal Highness?"

Just when Yusheng begins to feel like he is about to be pulled deep into an abyss, the familiar voice of a young man is able to pull him back, and he is able to notice how tense the people around him are.

Ah… my abnormal bloodthirst is once again getting out of control….

"Pardon me. Seeing such extremely loyal soldiers being treated in such an unfair way made me almost lose control of my emotions."

Yusheng's mind was still able to quickly find a reasonable explanation about his sudden bloodthirst after realizing that they had finally managed to reach where the captured soldiers and officers had been taken.

"As the Imperial Prince, I am extremely disappointed and sad to learn about such dark circumstances happening in the army. I am quite sure that there is resentment, and burning anger in your hearts after experiencing such injustice. I won't easily ask anyone to forgive the unfairness and despair that occurred for a very long time."

Yusheng begins to speak a touching and regretful voice, skillfully hiding the indifference he genuinely felt since the pitiful appearance of the chained people before him wasn't able to sway his already indifferent heart at all.

While silently, various notifications of loyalties decreasing and increasing continue to flash in his mind.

"I'm quite sure that everyone already loathes people with power in their hands, especially with the individuals who have special status and identities. Nonetheless, let me show you how I will use my own power to fight for the injustice you have greatly suffered."

Yusheng grabs the handle of his sword before pulling it out of the scabbard in front of everyone's eyes who had already focused their entire attention on his figure, completely immersing themselves into the words he had spoken.

Although, there is no honest emotion in the words I spoke but as long as none of you will become a traitor, I will continue to protect you, even though I no longer wish to do so.

And all of it is for the wishes of my kind Older Brother although, I won't be foolish about how I do it this time.

Swish

In the dimly lit place, a silver light quickly flashes by, before the shivering guard standing by the side lets out a gurgling sound as blood gushes over the large slash upon his neck only chopped halfway, completely intending to cause pain and torment the person in his death.

"I will start with these people."

The overwhelming bloodthirst in Yusheng's visible right eye doesn't decrease the entire time he was speaking to the prisoned soldiers and officers, instead, it continues to increase, particularly after killing a person and he has no intention of suppressing it.

Now, let's start the bloodshed… 

Ding!

Loyalties To The Su Empire: Negative!

It should be shocking, but Yusheng has already considered the fact that there seems to be an extremely dirty deal occurring in the army, and seeing all the guards having complete negative loyalty toward the Su Empire isn't a great surprise anymore.

"Death To The Traitors!"
