Chapter 358 Palace Turmoil 6

The man continued, “I support you to sit on the throne of Great Zhou. Why are you arguing with them? Just kill the old emperor with one stroke and that will be the end of it. Anyway, their crown prince has long since gone to see the King of Hell. As for this bunch of old, weak, women and children, they will all be conscripted into the army and become prostitutes for your Su family army. The emperor of Great Zhou really knows how to enjoy life. They are all beauties. You can’t find such stunning beauties in General Su’s wine and meat pool.”

In an instant, those seated in the hall were also unsettled, and they all stood up to protect the Crown Prince. However, each of them had a large sword in front of them, and no one dared to actually step forward. Someone accused them, "Who are you? Why do you say you killed His Highness the Crown Prince?"

They looked again at the crown prince on the high throne, "Who...who is he?"

Su Xuan stared at Jiang Fenghua's face, then removed the human skin mask, revealing his own face.

The ministers saw, "Su Xuan?"

Empress Cheng gripped the Emperor's hand tightly, "Your Majesty, they're saying Shang'er..."

"No, my son will be safe and sound." The emperor said coldly.

He then said to Madam Su, "Madam, why are you going to such lengths? Haven't I treated your Su family well enough?"

Everyone looked at Madam Su again. They never expected that the Su family would try to kill the emperor and rebel. Back then, when Madam Su accompanied General Su to guard the border, she was a heroine, a woman who was just as capable as any man.

But now...

The old lady Su said in a deep voice, "The Emperor and the late Emperor were both very good to our Su family, but I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince wants to deal with our Su family. He can't tolerate our Su family. If he becomes the Emperor, where will our Su family have a place to stay? Since the Crown Prince wants to do the first thing, I will do the fifteenth. If the Crown Prince wants to go to our Su family to find fault with our Su family, then I welcome him to enter our Su family's gate to die."

She also supported the Su family becoming emperor themselves.

The man who called himself "King" said again, "Stop wasting your breath on them. Everyone in the main hall will be killed tonight. I will personally send you all to the Yellow Springs."

Several princes tried to move, but a knife was held to their necks. The fourth prince was so frightened that he almost wet his pants. "Father!"

The Third Prince held the Third Princess's hand tightly; he couldn't believe the Crown Prince had been killed so easily.

The Second Prince escaped a disaster by not entering the palace tonight.

The Eighth Prince and the Tenth Prince were also seated at the table. When the Tenth Prince saw this, he tried to run away, but the Eighth Prince grabbed him and told him not to make any rash moves.

He hadn't seen Lu Xuefei for many days; she said she had gone out of the palace on business.

What happened tonight was so bizarre; how did these people manage to sneak in?

Just then, Ninth Princess Xie Ling'er and Su Tingwan also entered the main hall. However, the man who called himself "This King" did not stop them when he saw them, and even respectfully called the Ninth Princess "Your Highness".

At the same time, Jiang Fenghua also looked in Su Tingwan's direction, thinking to herself, "Xie Ling'er has become an inside agent for the Su family? And this person who calls himself 'This King' is the one Xie Shang found to be supporting the Su family's rebellion?"

Is he a prince of the Hu tribe? The Hu tribe was defeated by Xie Shang and then colluded with Su Xuan. It seems that the Great Zhou is going to war with the Hu tribe again. However, Xie Shang said that the one who advocated for war last time was the king of the Hu tribe, but this person calls himself "this king".

Therefore, he was not the Great King of the Hu tribe, but only a prince of the Hu tribe. He helped Su Xuan seize the throne of the Great Zhou. What benefit did Su Xuan give him? It couldn't be that he helped him seize the throne of the Great King of the Hu tribe!

She snapped out of her reverie, wary of Su Xuan, only to see him staring at her with an air of certainty. She glared at Su Xuan coldly and walked over to the Emperor and Empress.

Su Xuan wasn't afraid they would run away, as if they were about to be killed by his blade, and that his men had already taken over the palace.

Xie Ling'er walked up to Old Madam Su and said, "Ling'er greets her maternal grandmother."

"Good child, I'm sorry you've been wronged," said Madam Su gently. "Your maternal grandmother will take you to see your mother, and no one will dare to bully you again."

"Yes, thank you, Grandmother Xie," Xie Ling'er replied.

Then, she walked up to the Emperor and Empress, her eyes filled with hatred. "Father, you love Ling'er the most, but why did you treat Mother like this? I hate you."

The emperor stared at the daughter he had doted on for over a decade, his eyes filled with disbelief. Was she still the same child who only knew how to be spoiled, innocent, and lively?

"Father has even forgotten Ling'er's coming-of-age ceremony. Father doesn't love Ling'er at all. In this world, only Mother is Ling'er's closest person. None of you are."

She glared fiercely at Empress Cheng, stepped forward and slapped her. "This is for you. When you hit me, Empress Cheng, did you ever think that you would have this day?"

Empress Cheng said coldly, "Xie Ling'er, you are a princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Did you collude with outsiders to kill your father? I thought you were just unruly and ill-mannered because of Su Qingqing's teachings. I never expected you to betray your ancestors."

"It's all your fault! It's all because of you that my mother was sent to the Cold Palace by my father, and that caused me to be imprisoned by him."

Jiang Fenghua never expected that Xie Ling'er would betray her country over such a trivial matter. Did Old Madam Su give her a new head, making her forget even her ancestors' surnames?

Su Tingwan had already changed into clean clothes and restyled her hair. She stared at Jiang Fenghua and said, "You didn't expect this, did you, Jiang Fenghua? Xie Shang is dead. In my dream, he was the emperor, I was the empress, and you were just his concubine. Now that he's dead, everything has turned to smoke, and there's nothing left."

Jiang Fenghua said, "How do you know His Highness is dead? I believe he will return."

"You all don't know this, do you? He and his subordinates entered the Su residence, and then, 'bang!' they were all blown up. There was an explosion outside the palace. You all don't know this, do you?"

"Jiang Fenghua, he's dead. No one will protect you anymore. I won't kill you, but I'll sell you into the lowest brothel as a prostitute. I want to see how many people like your face."

Su Tingwan walked up to Jiang Fenghua smugly. Just as she was about to raise her hand to slap her, Jiang Fenghua slapped her hard across the face.

Su Tingwan didn't expect her to dare to make a move. "Jiang Fenghua, I'm going to kill you."

The next second, Su Xuan stepped forward to stop Su Tingwan, "Get out of here if you've had enough of your crazy behavior. You can't touch her life."

"Brother, you haven't been bewitched by her either, have you?" Su Tingwan questioned coldly. "Aren't you going to be the emperor? Do you want to marry her as your empress? And what about Ye Susu? Don't you also want Ye Susu to be your empress? And what about the son you have together?"

"I don't understand why all of you like Jiang Fenghua. She's just a scheming woman."

"Brother, do you think she'll like you?" Su Tingwan asked again. "Oh, I know, she'll definitely like you, because you're about to become the emperor. Who wouldn't like a man who's going to be the emperor?"

The next second, a dagger pierced Su Tingwan's body. She turned around and saw that the person who did it was "Imperial Physician Wang".
