Chapter 255 Today, I swear to kill him!

Helian Feng looked at the pale woman in Xiao Nanyue's arms, then glanced at his father and brother and sister-in-law. He was torn between his conscience and his desires, unable to make a decision.

He wasn't doing this entirely for a woman, but what his mother said did make some sense. If Xiao Nanyan won today, Tianqi's century-old foundation would fall into the hands of others. As a descendant of Helian, how could he let his foundation be lost?

Helian Cong looked at his queen. The cruelty in her eyes was completely different from the gentleness she usually pretended to be. He suddenly laughed:

"What a great way to sacrifice the car to save the driver, Su Qinyao, you will never be as good as Rou'er. Only she is truly pure and kind."

"Pure goodness?"

Su Qinyao's face turned pale instantly:

"Helian Cong, you're still obsessed with that bitch. The instigator of all this is none other than the pure and kind Su Xianrou you mentioned! Beauty is the root of all trouble, and you're all just vying for the favor of a beautiful woman. If it weren't for her, why would Xiao Beicheng rebel? If he hadn't died, how could Xiao Nanyan have harbored a vengeful desire and rebelled eight years later?"

"shut up!"

Helian Cong scolded him harshly: "You vicious woman, you have no right to mention him! If you hadn't plotted against me back then, and if I had Feng'er, I wouldn't have made you my queen, and would have watched the woman I love most in my life marry someone else!"

In front of tens of thousands of soldiers, the emperor and the empress completely fell out, not caring about the reputation of the royal family.

Su Qinyao's face was as pale as paper:

"Helian Cong, you knew I was deeply in love with you and had already made an engagement with you, yet you secretly married that bitch. Where did you put me? You were the one who betrayed me first. All these years, you were obsessed with that bitch, and never paid any attention to me. Tell me, since the day we got married, even though you favored other women, you never stayed in my palace. Isn't this your revenge on me?"

Helian Cong sneered:

"I have always known that you are a scheming woman. Whether it was Feng'er or Shu'er, you were the one who schemed against me. Otherwise, I would never touch you until I die! It was you who made me miss the love of my life. Even if I touch all the women in the world, I would still not pay attention to you!"

"Helian Cong, you are abominable!"

Su Qinyao felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her head. After all, the man in front of her was the one she once loved. The words that came out of his mouth were like sharp blades, cutting her heart one by one.

Helian Cong knew that he would die today, but he sacrificed his face:

"Su Qinyao, don't think I don't know. You incited the court officials, asking them to advise you, forcing Xiao Beicheng to attack Nanzhao. I don't know what your intentions were. However, when Xiao Beicheng was not in Yandu, you were so intent on murdering Rou'er and her son. If it weren't for my secret guards, they would have died long ago."

Su Qinyao's facial muscles twitched wildly, and she completely lost control of her expression:

"Xiao Beicheng deserves to die! Su Xianrou and her son deserve to die even more! You are an emperor, yet you think about your wife's sister all day long. How shameless! Do you think I don't care about my own daughter's life? If you didn't only have that bitch Su Xianrou in your heart, how could we have come to this point?"

"So," she glanced at Helian Feng with her sharp eyes:

"Feng'er, what are you waiting for? Your father, the emperor, has never cared about us, mother and son. He will sacrifice us for that bitch sooner or later."

Helian Feng's body was shaking violently, and his face beneath the purple jade crown was alternating between blue and white.

Looking at his father sitting on the hunting terrace, he thought of his father's earnest teachings and his late-night discussions on military affairs for more than twenty years. The man who once praised him for having the spirit of Emperor Gaozu now had an unprecedented sadness in his eyes.

"Father..."

Helian Feng's voice was as hoarse as broken jade, and he slowly knelt down:

"I am an unfilial son, but for the sake of Tianqi's foundation and for the sake of our ancestors, I must kill Xiao Nanyan today."

Helian Cong looked at his eldest son's trembling shoulders, and his eyes suddenly became hot.

Although this son was born to Su Qinyao, he was the one he valued and trusted the most among his children.

Helian Feng has always been mature, steady, strategic, humble and elegant, and is his ideal heir to the throne.

Helian Cong was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed:

"Feng'er, Su Qinyao is right in saying only one thing: the Helian family's kingdom cannot be destroyed in my hands."

He raised his hand and pointed at the flames rising from the direction of Yandu City:

"If you can quell the rebellion, you will be... you will be my good son. You, give the order!"

Helian Feng's tears fell on the blue bricks, splashing out star-like water marks.

He kowtowed three times to Helian Cong until blood oozed from his forehead:

"Thank you, Father!"

After saying this, he suddenly stood up, the sword in his hand already slashing through the sky:

"All troops, listen!"

His voice was filled with a desperate ruthlessness:

"The traitor Xiao Nanyan has held the emperor hostage, plotting rebellion. Today, we swear to kill him! Prepare—"
