Chapter 1092: Chapter 1092: Taking the Initiative to Confess (Sixth Update)_1 Chapter 1092: Chapter 1092: Taking the Initiative to Confess (Sixth Update)_1 Jia Cheng’s voice fell, and the atmosphere became silent.
Yang Wenxiao had been gently exhaling, trying to rid his heart of anger.
Emperor Yongan, Yang Hao, Yang Zheng, and Feng Huihui were either angry or sorrowful.
Once addicted, it’s a lifetime addiction, with at least five years left in one’s lifespan.
Imagining the scene as Jia Cheng described, Feng Huihui’s body weakened and she bent down to hug Yang Zheng and started to cry.
Her poor son, his life had just begun.
It had just begun!
Yang Zheng understood, and somewhat frightened, he subconsciously stretched out his little hand to hug Feng Huihui’s neck, his eyes brimming with tears, ready to fall at any moment.
Yang Hao’s eyes were red as he watched the mother and son, his lips parted and trembled a few times, but he couldn’t say anything.
Emperor Yongan’s face was dark as water, staring at Jia Cheng, silent.
He seemed to not have accepted the fact yet, or perhaps he was on the verge of exploding.
Tong Sanlang saw the expressions of the Yang family and pursed his lips, then asked, “What if one resists the urge and does not take it?”
He remembered what Qiao Xiaomai had said, some people have succeeded in quitting drugs and never relapsed in their lifetime.
Although some nerves in their brains were damaged, they relied on a strong willpower and did not relapse.
Such people lived out their lives peacefully and securely.
As long as one has strong willpower and no further temptations in the future, they may not need the antidote.
Upon hearing Tong Sanlang’s question, Jia Cheng coughed violently a few times before answering, “No one can resist the temptation of the hellish flower.”
“But if someone did resist, what would happen if they didn’t take it anymore?” Tong Sanlang persisted patiently.
“They would feel as if hundreds of claws were scratching at their heart, as if ants were crawling inside every bone, their head would throb with intense pain, and they might even have hallucinations. Only by continuing to take the hellish flower can this pain be ended.”
Jia Cheng spoke with an attitude of telling the truth, but his detailed explanation made Feng Huihui cry even harder, almost unable to stand.
Seeing this, Qiao Xiaomai stepped forward to help her, then she looked at Jia Cheng and asked, “How can you be sure that everything you’re saying is true?”
“Time will prove it. Judging by the dosage His Majesty has been taking, the effects will manifest in another seven or eight days. If you don’t believe me, you could also go south, cross the forest, and ask the locals in the homeland of the hellish flower.”
Jia Cheng was calm, even offering a suggestion.
Tong Sanlang asked expressionlessly, “Do you still have this substance on you?”
“No more.”
“So, you’re forcing the Emperor to endure and persist, aren’t you?” Tong Sanlang’s lips curled into a cold smile.
“This drug came with me unintentionally when I fled into Daqi. I brought little at the time, and the Liu Family didn’t dare let others find their secret plantation. Over decades, less than ten jin accumulated, and I’ve used it all in the food over the last few months.”
Jia Cheng was very cooperative, answering every question asked.
After this question, he even took the initiative to answer, “I would either quietly add it while cooking, or slip it in while helping the palace maid fetch vegetables and organize the meal boxes. I’ve practiced thievery, my techniques are fast, and those without Martial Arts skills wouldn’t notice.”
“Prince Duan was not aware of this; I was only following Old Master Liu’s orders.”
Tong Sanlang “…”
Jia Cheng had said everything that needed to be said.
He had been hiding for decades, all for this moment, and he had succeeded.
This Jia Cheng had not disappointed his reputation; he really had succeeded.
Without any accomplices, without any bloody attacks, just with a small drug, he had captured the Royal Family of Daqi in one fell swoop.
