“Puff——”

The sound of the sharp blade piercing through flesh was particularly obvious in the silent hall. Everyone opened their eyes wide, including Prince Yu, but his emotions were even more serious than others, and it seemed as if ice chips were about to emerge from his eyes.

Jiang Zhiyu was playing with the knife in his hand. The guard who wielded the knife fell to the ground with his eyes open, blood still oozing from his neck.

"I told you long ago," Jiang Zhiyu sighed, "If you do that, you'll be the only one to die. Why didn't you listen?"

As she spoke, the knife in her hand went straight towards Prince Yu and cut off the hair on his temples.

The fear of being so close to death made Prince Yu's legs weaken. He forced himself to say, "Think carefully. In this situation, if you attack me..."

Before he could finish his words, Jiang Zhiyu interrupted him: "I'm just watching the show. I don't want to perform on stage. You continue."

[The emperor has already arranged everything, why should I interfere? Why would I be so idle?]

【It is better to have less trouble than more trouble, and it is better to have nothing to do than to have less trouble. 】

【Understand the applause! 】

emperor:"……"

Ministers: “…”

Although everyone knew that it was normal for her to choose to protect herself in this situation, when they thought about how much the emperor valued her before and she said such words, they all felt a little disgusted.

Jiang Zhiyu didn't bother to care what they thought. After he finished speaking, he stepped aside.

Seeing that she really intended to stand by and watch, Prince Yu's fear finally dissipated.

"Royal brother, it seems that you are not very good at judging people."

The emperor looked at him but did not respond.

The emperor ignored him, but Prince Yu's eyes showed some excitement.

[Here it comes, here comes the classic villain dies because of talking too much. ]

[But I understand that. After all, when I play Landlord, I also like to show my cards.]

You are saying something I can't understand again.

The emperor chuckled lightly, and Prince Yu in front of him began to chatter incessantly, from his dissatisfaction with his father giving him an extra candy when he was young, to his regret for changing sides in the middle of a battle, to his tearful complaints about the poverty in the northwest.

Hearing this, the ministers all grew impatient, and Jiang Zhiyu yawned several times. Prince Yu finally got to the point: "Are you really curious about how I put these drugs in this wine?"

The emperor's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained unmoved. Prince Yu scoffed, "Of course..."

He looked at the Queen Mother, who shook her head. Prince Yu narrowed his eyes slightly but continued, "Of course it was the Queen Mother, whom you wholeheartedly regard as your mother and who obeys her in everything, who personally poisoned you."

The emperor knew this a long time ago, but he still looked shocked and stared at the empress dowager without blinking.

[I am a rebellious person. I won’t let you say it, but I will say it anyway.]

The expressions of the other ministers and the emperor were similar. The empress dowager could no longer move her hands from the Buddhist beads, and she no longer concealed her feelings, looking over with a sinister look.

"Speaking of this poison, I have to thank Prince Nan Gu and Princess Nan Gu. If it weren't for them, I really wouldn't be able to find so much poison in such a short time."

Jiang Zhiyu secretly applauded in his heart.

[Beautiful, just what I want! ]

[If you say anything more, there's no need to investigate. I'll just shut you down.]

He had been silent before because he wanted to wait and see how the situation developed, but now that Prince Yu had named him, they were now tied to the same rope.

Tudola tugged at Erzhu Huaji's sleeve, and Erzhu Huaji said helplessly: "Your Highness, the effect of the medicine will not last long. It is better to deal with business first."

Prince Yu was counting the number of his soldiers one by one like Han Xin, and there were also ministers who needed Chinese medicine. When he heard Erzhu Huaji's words, he restrained the smile on his face.

"What the prince said makes sense. It's time to get down to business."

He raised the knife in his hand and looked at the emperor with a stern smile: "I can't help it. It's your fault for not judging people and trusting the wrong person. You took the throne from me in the first place. Now, it's time to return it..."

[Are you polite? Just be polite once, why are you still going on and on? ]

[It’s hard, my fist is hard.]

emperor:"……"

Wait, don't be hard yet.

Fearing that Jiang Zhiyu might charge forward and punch Prince Yu, the Emperor shouted angrily, "What are you waiting for?"

For a moment, the offensive and defensive momentum changed. The masters who had been suppressing the Jinyiwei were all pinned down by them. Prince Yu was also kicked over by the captain, and his knife fell to the ground.

The Queen Mother was shocked when she saw this, and Erzhu Huaji and Tudola were even more startled as they jumped up from their seats. They looked at each other and knew that if they didn't leave now, they would never be able to leave again. So they immediately flew into the air, and the poisonous insects were scattered in the air.

The court officials below were drugged and unable to dodge. Jiang Kang'an and He Yanting flew into the air, holding the bags that had been prepared long ago, and used their internal energy to stun the poisonous insects one by one. Jiang Wenjing and Xiao Mingye helped the ministers to hide in a safe area. Xiao Lingyu also stood up and stood beside the empress dowager. He took the guards' swords, held two swords in his hands, and placed them on the shoulders of the empress dowager and Song Shiwei.

At this point in the situation, what else could Prince Yu not understand?

He was pinned to the ground, his eyes bloodshot and bloodshot: "You knew it all along! You've planned all this!"

After hearing Prince Yu's accusation, the ministers who were being supported all breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little scared.

Fortunately, I kept my composure and didn't speak rashly.

The emperor turned a deaf ear and stared at the fighting people. If it was just a matter of force, Erzhu Huaji and Tudola were naturally no match for He Yanting and Jiang Kang'an, but they had the advantage of tacit cooperation. One person would stop and the other would take over, and there were also these poisonous insects that were causing trouble.

The direction in which the poisonous insects fell was uncertain. Jiang Kangan and He Yanting not only had to fight with Erzhu Huaji and Tudola, but also had to catch the poisonous insects. They were really unable to do anything.

The Jinyiwei dodged the falling poisonous insects and loosened their control over their men.

Seeing this, Prince Yu's men, who were being held down by the Imperial Guards, seized the opportunity to fight back. For a moment, the palace was in chaos.

Jiang Wenjing and Xiao Mingye had to protect the ministers and the emperor and could not intervene. When the emperor was about to speak, Jiang Zhiyu flipped his wrist and the knife in his hand flew out and pierced into Erzhu Huaji's thigh like a stream of light.

He snorted lightly and was about to join forces with Tudora, but he saw Tudora's face twisted, his eyes widened, full of disbelief, and he fell straight to the ground from the air.

Erzhu Huaji: “!!!”

Everyone: “!!!”

He retracted his strength and landed beside Tudora. Seeing that she couldn't move her whole body, he panicked and looked at Jiang Zhiyu with red eyes: "What did you do?!"

Jiang Zhiyu spread out his hands: "I didn't do anything. If you want to ask, why not ask your witch doctor."

"Witch doctor?!" Erzhu Huaji looked at her angrily: "How could a witch doctor do something detrimental to the people of Nan Gu? It's clearly you who secretly plotted against him!"

"I told you before, she was injured by a horse and needs to rest," Jiang Zhiyu licked her lips. "Although the witch doctor used poisonous insects to soothe her meridians, it's like forcing her growth. I'm afraid she'll be paralyzed."
