Chapter 1616: I'll Tear You Apart

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After all, he had been listening to the same thing every day. It was already good enough that his ears did not have calluses. How could he not be calm?

“You…” Finally, Dou Chen opened his eyes and sneered. “Do you think you know me very well?”

“Don’t I?” Qiu Pusheng asked.

Dou Chen closed his eyes again.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“If I wasn’t trapped by the iron chains and couldn’t pass through,” Qiu Pusheng growled, “I would have torn you apart.”

Dou Chen ignored him.

Qiu Pusheng continued, “Although my father never wanted me to acknowledge my ancestors because he has so many sons, he doesn’t mind having me as one of them. No matter what, my bloodline is still nobler than yours.” At this point, he laughed sinisterly. “That’s right. If it wasn’t for the fact that your bastard son is too lowly, you wouldn’t strive to be above others.”

Dou Chen still ignored him.

Qiu Pusheng started to throw a tantrum. “Believe it or not, if I tell Shi Yuan what I have against him, you will also be dismembered! It’s not bad to be dismembered by five horses!”

Dou Chen still ignored him.

Qiu Pusheng started fuming. Then, his expression changed and he smiled. “Actually, I won’t tell you. You probably won’t tell me anything as well. If you were dismembered, your wife would cry herself to death. Because you stayed silent, Shi Yuan would have convicted you and pushed back your death. Who knows, one day, the big issue will be resolved and the small issue will be resolved. You would be released and nothing would happen to you. Why should he be the Emperor? That’s fine too. You can kill him in the end and become the Emperor. Then… Only then will you finally become like me.”

After saying that, he laughed loudly.

Dou Chen stayed silent.

“I have to say, Shi Yuan is still very protective of you.” Qiu Pusheng said. “Other people would be convicted if they could, but you weren’t. Only when Shi Yuan dies in your hands will he truly realize how heartless you are!”

“Qiu Pusheng, you don’t know Dou Chen at all,” Shi Yuan said.

Qiu Pusheng was shocked, but he still sat there cross-legged and didn’t get up to greet the Emperor.

Dou Chen wasn’t surprised at all. Shi Yuan would come here from time to time. He only opened his eyes and saw Shi Yuan stop at the door of his cell. He stood up and walked over. Then, he knelt on the ground respectfully and bowed, but he still didn’t say anything.

Shi Yuan asked the jailer to open Dou Chen’s cell door. Then, he asked the jailers to retreat outside. If he didn’t let anyone in, no one was allowed in.

Seeing Dou Chen’s cell door open and the jailers leave, Qiu Pusheng started to mock him. “Are you not afraid that Dou Chen will kill you?”

“He will only save me, not kill me.” Shi Yuan said.

Dou Chen, who was kneeling on the ground, twitched his lips.

“Should I call you st*pid or arrogant?” Qiu Pusheng sneered.

“It’s like you don’t know him at all,” Shi Yuan said. After a pause, he said, “Dou Chen thinks that I am a wise ruler. With me as the Emperor, the people of Da Chen will live well. For Da Chen and the people, Dou Chen will never have the thought of killing me. He will only have the thought of protecting me.”

The corner of Dou Chen’s mouth trembled.

All along, there were only a few people who understood him, and Emperor Shi Yuan was one of them…

“Bullsh*t!” Qiu Pusheng was furious. “Do you know what he did? If you knew, you wouldn’t be- it’s because he-”

“I killed the previous Emperor,” Dou Chen said before Qiu Pusheng could finish his sentence.
