Chapter 199 Today's Fruit

"Big brother called me the wrong name again, I'm Yue Lao Er!"

Yue Lao San has always cared about being called the Second or Third Brother, and he didn't dare to say much in front of Duan Yanqing in the past. But today he made a great contribution, and he was proud for a while, which made him more courageous.

Duan Yanqing was in a good mood and didn't bother with him. He turned around and looked at Duan Zhengming again.

He didn't say anything either, just stared at the other person, his face stiff and expressionless.

Everyone wanted to step forward to rescue him, but they were afraid to do so, fearing that the ugly weirdo would use too much force and strangle the prince to death on the spot.

Duan Zhengming took a deep breath and tried to calm down. "What happened back then had nothing to do with Yu'er. Why are you trying to implicate an innocent person?"

"Innocent?" Duan Yanqing sneered, "Your lineage has usurped the throne, so how could anyone be innocent?"

He was paranoid by nature and had become obsessed with the throne. Duan Zhengming could naturally see this and said.

"What do you want in exchange for letting him go?"

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult! You just have to agree to become a monk at Tianlong Temple and return the throne to its original owner, and I will ask him to release you immediately."

Duan Zhengming couldn't help but frown: "How can we just give away our ancestors' legacy?"

"Ancestral heritage? Oh, it's your ancestral heritage, so it's not mine. It should be returned to its original owner, not just given away casually. I'm being extremely magnanimous by not pursuing your heinous crime of usurping the throne."

Duan Yanqing knew long ago that Duan Zhengming had no children, and that Duan Yu was the only male descendant in this lineage, so he was naturally confident.

"If you insist on not agreeing, don't blame me for disregarding our kinship. Hey, do you know what this is?"

As he spoke, he took out a paper bag from his bosom and held it in his hand.

Although Duan Zhengming had extensive knowledge, he could not tell what this thing was, nor could he guess what other tricks he had up his sleeve.

Duan Yanqing didn't keep the secret any longer and said with a smile, "Yin Yang Harmony Powder."

The name didn't sound serious at first glance. Duan Zhengming was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"

"This is a good thing. Not only is it non-toxic, but it's also very nourishing. It can turn a gentleman into a pervert, a virtuous woman into a whore, and even a saint into a beast with just a little distraction."

Duan Yanqing spoke slowly and calmly.

"Perhaps you don't know yet, but these two beautiful young ladies are actually descendants of your Duan family."

Gao Shengtai and the four guards were not aware of this before, but they also knew Duan Zhengchun's temperament and character. After hearing this, they immediately made some associations.

Duan Zhengming already knew that Zhong Ling was his niece, but he never expected that the other girl was also Duan Zhengchun's daughter. However, thinking about his reaction when he saw the other girl today, he had a rough guess.

That improper medicine, coupled with the special identities of the two girls, made him immediately understand Duan Yanqing's conspiracy.

Even though he was very well-educated, he still flew into a rage and pounced on Yue Lao San.

Except for Gu Ping'an and Mu Nianci, everyone else who was accompanying them also took action.

Duan Yanqing was not in a hurry at all. Yue Lao San slightly increased the strength of his hands. Duan Yu immediately had difficulty breathing and struggled hard, but he was as weak as a chick.

Everyone was horrified and stopped immediately. Duan Yu's neck loosened, as if he had walked around the gates of hell, and his whole body went limp.

Duan Zhengming and Duan Zhengchun are both in their prime now, so it is not impossible for them to stay behind. However, Duan Zhengming loves Duan Yu very much and naturally cannot bear to see him die innocently.

"Prince Yanqing, you are also a descendant of the Duan family. Why do you have to scheme like this?"

Duan Yanqing sneered, "Your lineage has usurped the throne and stolen the country. Since you refuse to return it, I will make it known to everyone in the world that the Dali Duan family is incestuous and immoral, and goes against the way and norms. The more people curse you, the happier I will be."

Duan Zhengming was speechless for a moment, his mind was in turmoil, he pondered for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh.

"Forget it. This country is..."

He was completely at his wit's end and was about to compromise when Gao Shengtai suddenly spoke up. "Your Majesty, absolutely not! This man is one of the four greatest evil men in the world. If he were to rule over Dali, the people would suffer immensely. With such a character, how could he possibly be the ruler of Dali?"

Duan Zhengchun also said: "The current revival of Dali and the peace in all four regions are all due to my royal brother. Let alone the birth of Prince Yanqing, even if Emperor Shangde were to be resurrected, he would not be able to occupy this position."

As soon as these words came out, they really touched Duan Yanqing's sore spot.

"Good! Very good! Yue Lao San, kill that kid!"

"It's Yue Lao Er"

Yue Lao San couldn't help but mutter softly, but his hands didn't hesitate at all. In the blink of an eye, Duan Yu rolled his eyes.

"Stay on!"

Duan Zhengming hurriedly stopped him, but when he saw Duan Yanqing nod and Yue Lao San defend himself, he breathed a sigh of relief and spoke humbly.

"Prince Yanqing, please calm down. This matter is of great importance. Please allow me to think it over."

"Okay." Duan Yanqing said lightly.

He is mature and calm. If it weren't for the disaster that happened back then, he would have been a talent for being an emperor. He would have waited for twenty years, so how could he have been late for such a short while?

"I'll give you three days. If you haven't made up your mind to return the item to its original owner after three days, then you'll have to wait patiently for another year or two. It would be a wonderful story if the siblings could marry and have children."

He was very good at being sarcastic and saying the opposite of what he meant, which made Duan Zhengming so angry that he felt a lump in his throat and his chest heaved several times. It took him a lot of effort to calm down.

"let's go!"

"No delivery."

Duan Yanqing waved his hand lightly, his face showing no expression, but his gestures could not hide the pride in his heart.

Yue Lao San brought up Duan Yu again, and Ye Er Niang also took Zhong Ling and the other two hostage, and turned to go into the house.

Gan Baobao slapped Zhong Wanchou in the face, tears welling in his eyes as he angrily shouted, "Zhong, you're helping others plot against your own daughter. Are you even human?"

She felt sorry for her daughter and was already extremely angry. Seeing Duan Zhengchun lowering his head and trying to leave, the two angers intertwined and were vented on Zhong Wanchou.

But she forgot that Zhong Ling was not the daughter of Zhong Wanchou.

Everyone turned around and saw that she had slapped Zhong Wanchou without holding back at all. He staggered.

"The fifth day of the twelfth month of the Yimao year. The fifth day of the twelfth month."

He muttered to himself several times, then suddenly looked up with red eyes, as if he had been woken up by her.

"Tell me, is she my daughter?!"

Zhong Wanchou spoke each word with increasing intensity, his voice rising until he was hoarse by the last four words.

This was the first time in the sixteen years since he married Gan Baobao that he had truly lost his temper with her.

When Gan Baobao heard this, he was struck by lightning. His face turned pale and two lines of tears rolled down his cheeks.

If it were in the past, seeing her like this, Zhong Wanchou would have been terrified and would have been frantic to comfort her.

But that slap seemed to really wake him up from his dream. Not only did he remain indifferent, but he sneered and turned away.

On the other side, Ye Erniang withdrew her gaze and walked to the door with Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing.

At this moment, Gu Ping'an's voice suddenly rang out.

"Ye Erniang, do you want to know where your child is?"
