In her past life, Su LiLuo sacrificed everything for Prince Chu’s grand ambitions. She agreed to a proxy marriage with the crippled Crown Prince, disregarding her reputation and using her charm t...
In the blink of an eye, the doors of the main hall were smashed open, and countless armored guards poured in.
They all held longswords, the tips of which were pointed at Xiao Ye, who had his back to them.
Xiao Ye chuckled softly a few times, then slowly turned around, looking at the 'righteous' Xiao Wang with a mocking gaze.
"Is this your final trump card? Is that all?"
King Xiao frowned slightly as he looked at Xiao Ye's calm and composed expression.
"Crown Prince, you just tried to assassinate the Emperor. This was clearly seen by me and the eunuchs around the Emperor. What else do you want to say in your defense!"
"When did I ever say I would try to make excuses? It was indeed I who wanted to kill this 'Father Emperor'!"
Xiao Ye laughed loudly again, his eyes suddenly turned fierce as he finished speaking, then he quickly turned around, reached out and pressed the dagger in 'Emperor Wenjian's' abdomen, and stabbed it in again with great force.
"ah!"
Emperor Wenjian screamed.
Because everything happened so suddenly, Zi Xing forgot to disguise his voice this time, so the voice he called out was a woman's voice.
Besides Xiao Wang's men, there were several leading guards in the main hall who were the emperor's former subordinates. They all looked astonished when they heard the strange cry.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Prince Xiao immediately stopped talking and quickly ordered, "Guards, the Crown Prince is plotting to harm the Emperor! Seize him immediately!"
He thought that Xiao Ye had entered the palace alone this time, and even if he brought a few secret guards with him, it would be difficult for him to escape the trap he had set.
But he never expected that just as his men were about to go forward to kill Xiao Ye, a tremendous sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside.
What is that sound?
Xiao Wang, who was watching Xiao Ye being surrounded and attacked, suddenly felt a slight twitch in his ears and sensed something was wrong.
Then he saw a little eunuch rushing in from outside.
"It's terrible! General Su has led a large number of soldiers into the palace!"
"How could this be? Is Su Zhen planning a rebellion?"
King Xiao was startled and immediately stepped outside. As soon as he went out, he saw a large group of soldiers walking towards the main hall.
"Su Zhen, are you trying to rebel?"
King Xiao shouted loudly at Su Zhen, who was leading the group.
"It is you who is rebelling, not this humble general! This humble general is merely following imperial orders to enter the palace and apprehend the traitor!"
Su Zhen was clad in silver armor, which gleamed in the sunlight.
After he finished speaking, the soldiers cleared a path, and then Emperor Zhenwen Jian, dressed in a dragon robe, walked out from the middle with anger.
"Prince Xiao, you are truly capable!"
Emperor Wenjian spoke in a deep, mocking voice, his eyes filled with cold, murderous intent.
This time, he will never keep this son!
"Father!"
King Xiao was greatly alarmed.
Wasn't my father imprisoned in the dungeon by himself?
How did they suddenly appear here?
Could it be that someone rescued my father when I came out today?
But that shouldn't be the case; the royal palace is guarding the forest, and no one can possibly enter.
Oh no, that's not the question. The question is, how did they know that the emperor in the palace was an imposter?
King Xiao looked at Emperor Wenjian with a nervous and helpless expression, and it took him a long time to react.
"How dare you! Who are you to impersonate my father, the Emperor! General Su, you have quite the nerve. Do you intend to use a fake emperor to control my Great Liang?"
Xiao Wang immediately turned the tables and pinned a accusation on Su Zhen.
Since Zixing is in the palace now, then his father, the emperor, can only be a fake.
"Heh! You've really got a good plan. Guards, seize this wicked son! Leave him alive, I'll punish him properly!"
Emperor Wenjian sneered, disgusted by Prince Xiao's shameless face.
At his command, all of Su Zhen's soldiers attacked Xiao Wang.
Meanwhile, inside the inner palace, Xiao Ye and his secret guards had already wiped out the people Xiao Wang had prepared.
Even Zi Xing was unable to move easily because Xiao Ye had ambushed her in the abdomen, and in the end, she could only be captured by Xiao Ye's men.
After a bloody storm, Xiao Wang's men were either killed or surrendered, and the palace quickly returned to peace.
Emperor Wenjian sat on the dragon throne, looking at Prince Xiao and Zixing, who were bound and kneeling on the ground below, and smiled coldly: "If it weren't for the Crown Prince's cleverness this time, I'm afraid I would really have died at the hands of the two of you!"
King Xiao remained silent, knowing that he had been defeated, utterly defeated.
But Zi Xing was unwilling to accept defeat, especially after seeing that Su Liluo had also entered the palace and was now standing next to Xiao Ye.
She also wanted to fight for herself.
So she begged Emperor Wenjian for mercy: "Your Majesty, I was forced by Prince Xiao! You know I have amazing medical skills, and Prince Xiao valued my abilities."
She knew that in addition to her medical skills, the woman was also skilled in disguise, which is why she threatened and tricked her into doing this outrageous thing for her!
"This humble woman knows her mistake. I beg Your Majesty, in consideration of my abilities, to spare my life! I will certainly serve Your Majesty well from now on, and help Your Majesty live a long and healthy life!"
But Emperor Wenjian was no fool, and naturally he would not be fooled by Zixing again.
He glanced at Zi Xing with disgust and sneered, "Live to a hundred? Although I am afraid of death, I am not so stupid. If I spare you, I am afraid I will not live to see tomorrow."
He had no idea about this woman's background; everything was recommended to him by King Xiao.
At first, under his acupuncture treatment, he felt as if his body was floating on air, but later he also learned about these side effects.
Especially after Su Liluo and the others gave him the Snow Lotus, he tasted it and his body truly became much better. Only then did he truly experience the best state of his body.
"Your Majesty, do you truly not believe this humble woman?"
Seeing that Emperor Wenjian remained unmoved, Zi Xing's eyes darkened.
If that's the case, then even if I die, I'll take a few people down with me.
Emperor Wenjian completely ignored her words and instead ordered his men, "Guards, drag this woman away and beat her to death on the spot!"
Seeing this, Su Liluo, who was standing nearby, was preparing to go down and watch the execution. She wanted to see one of the murderers who killed her mother die before her own eyes.
But before she could take a step, she suddenly saw Zi Xing burst into a mad laugh, and then pull something out of his body, which suddenly emitted an extremely foul odor.
"Oh no! It's poisonous! Everyone cover your mouths and noses!"
Su Liluo immediately shouted.
Although she didn't know what it was, her intuition told her it wasn't anything good.
Those who reacted quickly covered their mouths and noses immediately, but some who reacted slowly inhaled the gas and collapsed to the ground convulsing.
Only the soldiers outside the palace were spared from the poison gas because they were far away.
