Transmigrating into a Big Villain in the Book

Chapter 299: Lin Qingye Inherits the Throne

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

“Commander Pang, what is that in your hand?” An official couldn’t help but ask.

Pang Chao did not answer them. He just opened the edict, then read in a loud and clear voice, “Follow the Providence, Emperor’s edict said. If I don’t return from the battlefield, Lin Qingye shall ascend the throne and Qi Cheng will be the Empress.”

Qi Cheng had not seen this edict, because his Majesty said that he couldn’t see this edict and must wait until this day, so he did not expect this result.

His mind was filled with the words, “Lin Qingye shall ascend the throne and Qi Cheng will be the Empress.”

“Is this… fake?” Someone asked quietly.

Pang Chao said, “Those who don’t believe it, come over here and see it yourself.”

Si Chenye smiled. “General Qi, now that we don’t know if General Lin is still alive…”

“I’m safe and sound,” Lin Qingye’s voice came from outside the hall.

Qi Cheng immediately ran towards Lin Qingye. He had known that this was just a plan, he was still afraid when the news came.

He knew very well his Majesty’s ability. He knew he could make it anyways.

But this matter was related to Brother Qingye’s life, there was no room for mistakes.

Lin Qingye looked straight ahead and didn’t stop, so Qi Cheng didn’t even meet his eyes or speak to him.

Qi Cheng touched his nose, without any embarrassment, instead his heart was filled with joy and excitement.

“Sorry to let you down, I didn’t die.”

Si Chenye looked at Lin Qingye in a daze and suddenly smiled. “I’ve already succeed, so it’s superfluous for you to do it.”

Lin Qingye asked, “You know clearly whether it’s superfluous or not.”

He looked at the officials and asked, “Any questions?”

The invisible pressure caused Qi Cheng’s smiling gaze to slowly turn respectful.

“Bring him down.”

Lin Qingye walked up to the dragon chair step by step. “Transmit orders, Si Chenye’s treason is proven, paste the evidence on the wall. Behead him in three days, and hang his head on the city wall for those traitors to have a good look.”

“Yes!” The officials’ body all trembled slightly, feeling that Lin Qingye was implying.

In a short half a day, the news of Si Chenye’s collaboration with the enemy spread all over Red Flame Country. They never thought that Si Chenye was the chief culprit of this war.

The people abhorred the war, and the traitors were even more unforgivable.

After making Si Chenye’s crimes public, no one objected. They even thought that such punishment was too light, and such a person‘s family also should be punished.

Just as this thought emerged in their mind, they instantly denied it. The only family of Si Chenye was Si Yuhan, not to mention that there was no news about him, even if he was still alive and standing here, who would dare to touch him?

Therefore, such a punishment was most appropriate.

Everything was settled. Qi Cheng followed behind Lin Qingye silently until he came to Ruanhan Palace.

Qi Cheng immediately knelt down. “Your Majesty, are you really going to leave?”

‘Lin Qingye’ reached out and tore off the mask on his face. This was clearly Si Yuhan’s face.

There was no such part in the original plan at all. They originally planned, when Si Yuhan won, he would directly deal with Si Chenye and they would succeed.

Originally, he still did not understand why his Majesty made it so complicated. It wasn’t until Pang Chao read the edict just now that he completely understood.

Everything his Majesty did was to remove the obstacles for them. Why did he do this? The only possibility was that his Majesty was going to leave, that’s why he gave up the throne.
