Chapter 994: Eternal infamy? Killing a brother to prove one's Dao?

"Is Father Emperor worried that this matter is related to Hu Hai?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at the silent Ying Zheng.

He could see that Brother Zheng's mood seemed very unpleasant.

And rightly so; no one would feel comfortable in this situation.

If it were truly related to Hu Hai, then the matter would become complicated.

A son rebelling against his father—that was just too absurd.

Although Hu Hai had been demoted to a commoner for his mistakes.

He was still Brother Zheng's youngest son.

This was an undeniable fact.

"If this matter is related to him, what would you do?"

"Would you kill him outright, or spare him again?"

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Ying Zi Ye with a calm gaze.

This Great Qin Jiangshan would eventually be handed over to him.

Now that Ying Zi Ye was the Crown Prince of Great Qin, no one could contend with him for the throne.

This position had already been decided.

There was really no need to exterminate him completely.

Doing so would leave one with eternal infamy.

He did not want Ying Zi Ye to leave a stain on his life because of this matter.

Ying Zheng also wanted to see whether Ying Zi Ye was ruthless or lenient toward his brother.

This was related to some of his subsequent plans.

Therefore, he had summoned Ying Ying Zi Ye to see what he was thinking.

Ying Ying Zi Ye fell silent.

Looking at the situation, killing him was certainly out of the question.

No matter what, this was his brother in name.

The path of killing a brother to prove one's Dao was not advisable.

He had not a shred of affection for Hu Hai.

But he had to consider Brother Zheng's feelings regardless.

After all, no matter how much of a failure Hu Hai was, he was still Brother Zheng's son.

If he were killed just like that, it would not sound good if word got out.

"Father Emperor is overthinking; perhaps Hu Hai's appearance in Nanyue is just a coincidence?"

"Isn't it too early to think about whether to kill him or not?"

"Everything now is just speculation; we can only decide after arriving in Nanyue."

If this matter were truly related to Hu Hai, Ying Ying Zi Ye had not really thought about whether to kill him or not.

It was too sudden; who could have imagined that Hu Hai would appear in Nanyue?

However, for the sake of Brother Zheng, he would have to spare his life regardless.

He did not want to create a rift with Brother Zheng because of this matter.

"Let's set aside whether it's related to Hu Hai or not."

"If we assume for a moment that it is related to him, what would you do?"

"I want an accurate answer."

Ying Zheng stared at Ying Ying Zi Ye with a burning, unblinking gaze.

Ying Ying Zi Ye gave a bitter smile upon hearing this; Brother Zheng was forcing him to make a decision.

"Father Emperor, I understand your thoughts."

"You cannot bear to see us brothers harming one another."

"If this matter is truly related to Hu Hai, I will spare his life in the end."

"Even if not for others' sake, I will do it for your sake, Father Emperor, so as not to make things difficult for you."

To Ying Ying Zi Ye, Hu Hai was just a little grasshopper jumping around.

He was just an insignificant little person.

If he dared to cause trouble, for the sake of Brother Zheng, the most he would do was give him a sound beating.

"Is that really what you think?"

"If this matter is truly related to him, then he is committing treason; would you still not kill him even then?" ===== CHAPTER 996 =====
