Chapter 236 His Sanity and Madness

Dark clouds are gathering over the city, and a storm is about to come.

In the main hall of the new house, Pei Jingxu's eyes were cold, and he looked at Bai Shutong with a serious look.

Bai Shutong raised his eyebrows slightly, a smug smile on the corners of his lips: "Pei Jingxu, choose."

Pei Jingxu stood there for a long time.

Pursing her lips slightly, she said coldly, "You said you don't want to kill anyone. Is it that you don't want to, or that you can't?"

With just one word, the smile on Bai Shutong's face froze, and he looked at Pei Jingxu with a bit of hostility in his eyes.

Seeing Bai Shutong's expression, Pei Jingxu narrowed his eyes: "Looks like it's impossible?"

Pei Jingxu admitted that he had personally experienced that the heroine's halo was indeed powerful.

As a vicious cannon fodder, she existed to serve as a match for Bai Shutong. Her appearance and scheming, her experiences and ending, were all meant to highlight the kindness, compassion and perseverance of the female doctor Bai Shutong.

——How can the heroine kill someone?

This is the "truth" spoken by Bai Shutong. The heroine cannot kill people. This is one of the few restrictions and rules that this storybook imposes on her.

If she couldn't kill, then the emperor in the palace...

A long sword was pressed against Rong Jianxue's eyebrows.

Shen Huaichen's eyes were full of pride and madness. He widened his eyes, looked at Rong Jianxue in front of him provocatively, and laughed loudly: "Rong Jianxue, you lose."

The man was dressed in a dark green wide robe, standing tall and graceful. He was surrounded by ambergris rising from the incense burner. He stood in the clouds and mist, like a banished immortal.

"It seems that Master Shaofu is not very smart. However, you can enter the palace alone with a forged imperial edict. This is really stupid."

Rong Jianxue's expression remained unchanged: "Third Prince, are you saying that you falsely conveyed the imperial edict?"

Shen Huaichen raised his eyebrows slightly, and the sword moved closer to him: "Young Master Rong Jianxue poisoned His Majesty with the intention of treason. He forged an imperial decree and sneaked into the palace with the intention of tampering with the emperor's order, but was discovered by the Third Prince and killed on the spot."

He curled his lips and chuckled, "Master Master, what do you think of this ending?"

Rong Jianxue's eyes were cold and he said nothing.

Shen Huaichen didn't want to say more and raised his sword to stab him!

The next second, he heard the soldiers behind him panicking and reporting, "Your Highness, we are surrounded by the Royal Guards!"

"That's nonsense! The Imperial Guards went to the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony today. How could they possibly be here?!"

He growled and looked back!

Then, a large number of royal guards, dressed in armor and with yellow scarves on their sleeves, approached the bedroom and surrounded his private soldiers!

In a flash, Shen Huaichen seemed to have thought of something and looked at Rong Jianxue with wide eyes.

Behind him, the emperor appeared in a bright yellow robe behind Rong Jianxue.

His eyes were cold and his pressure was as real as substance.

Shen Huaichen widened his eyes and opened his mouth.

After a while, he finally heard his own voice: "Father...Emperor?"

--

There was a hint of impatience on Bai Shutong's face.

Frowning at Pei Jingxu, Bai Shutong's voice was filled with a bit of hostility: "Pei Jingxu, are you really not afraid that Pei Huaifeng will die!?"

"I'm telling you, the reason Pei Huaifeng is still alive is because of the points I earned. If I take back all the points now, Pei Huaifeng will definitely die!"

"I can leave the capital under your accusation and never come back," Pei Jingxu looked at her coldly and stated his conditions, "but how can you guarantee me that Pei Huaifeng's life will be safe from now on and he will no longer be at your mercy?"

"This is simple. As long as he leaves the capital and stays away from the plot related to me, his fate will no longer be affected by the original plot."

Having said this, Bai Shutong looked at her compassionately and kindly: "Pei Jingxu, I'm doing this for your own good."

"I not only helped you save Pei Huaifeng, but also saved your life."

"You relied on deception to win Rong Jianxue's heart. Have you ever thought about whether you could still survive if Rong Jianxue found out one day?"

Bai Shutong curled his lips, his eyes full of pride: "Pei Jingxu, one lie must be covered up by countless lies."

"I'm different. There are no lies between Rong Jianxue and me. We can start a clean and innocent life. I can heal all the wounds you've caused him. I—am the one who should grow old with him."

"Take Pei Huaifeng away from the capital, and never let me see you again."

--

There was blood on his cheek.

Rong Jianxue raised his hand, wiped the blade clean with his sleeve, and sheathed the sword again.

Shen Huaichen knelt in front of him like a collapsed Buddha statue, his eyes blank.

The eunuchs and royal guards around were cleaning up the mess.

The emperor's desolate and low voice came from behind: "I am really old."

Rong Jianxue's tone was indifferent and emotionless: "Your Majesty is old, so it's time for him to abdicate and let someone more capable take over."

The servants around heard such outrageous words, but they just lowered their heads and turned a blind eye.

The official chuckled softly, his temples graying and his eyes cloudy, "The Crown Prince...is not fit for any important role."

Rong Jianxue raised her eyes and glanced at the sun high in the sky.

It's noon.

It's time for him to go home.

When he thought of the word "go home", the coldness between his brows melted a little.

The new house is monotonous and cold, and it is home for her.

He casually wiped the blood off his face, and a little blood splashed on his brow, as if he was a god or Buddha who had fallen into the Avici Hell.

"I have found some information. More than 20 years ago, a pregnant concubine died tragically in a fire in the palace. No trace of her has been found."

"Later, Rong's mother's sister married and soon gave birth to a son. Later, their family encountered disaster, and the child was adopted under the Rong family's name."

The emperor's face seemed a little older.

The poison he was poisoned with was not fatal, but he was old and the poison seemed to have drained all his energy.

"Rong Jianxue, is that you?"

Rong Jianxue's eyes remained unchanged, her expression indifferent: "Your Majesty, now that you know this, what are you considering?"

The emperor's pupils shrank slightly, but he said anxiously, "If, if you were my child, you would be the most suitable person to sit on the throne of the new emperor!"

When Rong Jianxue heard this, her face did not show any surprise or any other expression.

He looked at the emperor calmly and coldly: "I have set my sights on the throne of the emperor and do not need to rely on the title of your majesty's offspring."

——There is nothing he cannot get if he wants it.

The emperor opened his eyes wide, his eyes full of surprise.

Behind him, on the ground, came Shen Huaichen's crazy and morbid laughter.

Turning around, Rong Jianxue looked at Shen Huaichen, and saw him pointing at Rong Jianxue and mocking loudly: "Hahahaha! I thought you were a loyal minister who was loyal to the emperor and patriotic! It turns out that you have had evil intentions for a long time!"

"Rong Jianxue, you and I both have this in mind, so what gives you the right to judge me from such a high position?!"

“I’m not wrong!!”

noisy.

Rong Jianxue looked down at him, but took a step forward, raised his foot slightly, and stepped on his mutilated hand.

"ah--"

A burst of wailing sounded from the bedroom, and the palace servants around all lowered their heads and looked submissive, no one dared to look up.

"Of course you're wrong," Rong Jianxue said calmly, "Your mistake was losing to me. If you win, you'll be the king, and if you lose, you deserve to die."

He drew the sword from his waist and with a swish sound—

A scream was heard, and Shen Huaichen's arm with missing fingers was chopped off at the shoulder by Rong Jianxue.

Blood was gushing out.
