Farewell
4 days later.
The night had fallen.
Meng Chang sat silently with his eyes closed.
"To think that the worst situation has happened."
His face turns into a scowl.
"Execute."
One word. Just one word and soon the world would be changed forever.
*Fwoosh* The wind blew as the shadows vanished.
...
"Cough! Cough! cough!!"
The emperor opens his hand to find dark red blood.
"Thankfully, I chose the Crown Prince before I passed, sigh~ Meng Chang, I hope you won't blame me."
He shakes his head.
The emperor loved each of his Son and Daughters, but there must be a line between personal and business.
"Haha, don't worry father. I'm not blaming you."
The emperors body froze, stone cold. He rigidly turns his head towards the voice.
Meng Chang stood there and bowed.
The emperor was old and dying, but he was no fool.
His eyes narrowed.
"What are you doing here, Meng Chang!"
"Just saying my farewells father. It is my filial piety to see you off after all. Don't worry, I will make sure to bring our dynasty to the golden age."
"....What did you do to your 3rd brother?!"
"Sigh~ Younger brothers army camp location was leaked by a traitor. Right now he should be dead. What a shame."
Though he expressed sadness, his lips curved into a huge smile.
"Aren't you worried you will be shown in history!? To be the shame of all emperors!?"
"What are you talking about? I haven't done anything wrong."
He smiled and pointed to the cup.
"Father really is diligent with his medicine, your son, is impressed."
"Y-You! You poisoned me!"
"Originally, I was going to let you live and watch me create the ultimate empire. But you just had to be a idiotic old man."
Meng Chang finally gave up the act.
"Smart people don't live long, you should have lived more stupidly. I'm sorry father, but that medicine was the strongest douse of poison."
"Y-Y-You-" The emperor clenched his chest tightly, his eyes bloodshot.
"Looks like the poison has taken effect now. Don't worry, your son won't get caught. The poison will dissipate from your body after you die, so you can rest well, and with that."
Meng Chang smiled and bowed.
"Farewell, father."
