After all, no one wants to die as long as they are alive.
What's more, he is not without any way out. He still has Zuiyuelong, Song Shiwei, and Su Bai!
As long as I can leave the palace today, as long as I can leave the palace, there will be a chance for me to make a comeback in the future!
Xiao Yanli began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Father, your son has truly been possessed by a demon. I absolutely do not have the slightest intention of harming you!"
The emperor lowered his eyelids and said, "Is that so? But I remember just now, you insisted that it was the Prime Minister who drugged me. I have never taken any Chinese medicine, and the imperial physician also said that I am in good health. Why are you so sure?"
"I also want to know how you investigated something that didn't happen. Is there solid evidence?"
Xiao Yanli's face suddenly turned pale.
Shang Yizhi stepped forward at the right moment and said, "Your Majesty, I have a letter in my house written by the Sixth Prince, as well as evidence that the Sixth Prince threatened me and asked me to order my daughter to drug Your Majesty."
The muscles on Xiao Yanli's face twitched slightly.
Seeing the emperor's expression without any surprise, Xiao Yanli already understood that Shang Anlan might have reported it to the emperor right after he made the threat!
But Xiao Yanli didn't understand, how could Shang Yizhi dare to do that?!
How could he be so sure that the emperor would believe him?!
If ordinary people encountered such a situation, who wouldn't hide it? How could they just expose it directly like this?
Xiao Yanli's face turned pale.
"I just called you a wolf with ambitions, and you still feel wronged. You've already committed half of your father's murder, so what's there to feel wronged about?"
The emperor passed him and sat on the dragon throne: "After all, we are father and son. You think I didn't care about you when you were young. Today, for the last time, I will care for you."
Xiao Yanli looked at him panickedly.
"Come here, bring the Sixth Prince's concubine here. You'll have a companion on your journey to the underworld. This way, I can say I'm showing my love for you."
Xiao Yanli doubted his ears for a moment. Was what he said actually human language?!
Ignoring Xiao Yanli's expression as if he had been struck by lightning, the emperor's eyes fell on the ministers who were hanging their heads like quails in the corner.
Of course, it is only a small part. After all, most of them have not expressed their views yet.
The ministers who did not express their opinions felt relieved, but also looked at their colleagues with gloating.
If you lose your patience, you will end up like this!
The ministers were trembling with fear, especially Shang Yu.
He usually protects the Sixth Prince, not to mention that he was the first one to speak!
Shang Yu glanced at Xiao Yanli with an unpleasant expression.
I thought he would be the last one to ascend the throne, but I didn't expect...
Jiang Zhaorong felt no less regretful than Shang Yu.
He looked at his children standing beside the emperor, and a surge of regret spread from the bottom of his heart.
If he had not been so obsessed with the treasures of the previous dynasty, would the result have been completely different?
The ministers who had just spoken all knelt down, crying bitterly and apologizing to the emperor. Shang Yu and Jiang Zhaorong were a step late, but they also knelt down.
The way everyone begged for mercy was very similar, with phrases like "possessed by a ghost", "unable to see the situation clearly", "even if they have no merits, they have worked hard over the years", "please ask the emperor to spare them this time", etc.
When it comes to Jiang Zhaorong, the style of painting suddenly changes.
"Your Majesty, I am the biological father of these children after all. You wouldn't want them to be seen as unfilial sons by the world and not save their biological father."
Of course, Jiang Zhaorong's words were not so straightforward, but more tactful.
But that was the general idea. He shamelessly assigned it to Jiang Zhiyu and Jiang Wenjing in exchange for their military merits in capturing Nan Gu in exchange for his life.
The shamelessness of this act caused the entire hall to fall silent for a moment, and also refreshed the cognition of Jiang Kangan and the others.
[I'm so stupid, really. How could I define Jiang Zhaorong as a saint without even finishing the novel?]
【Insult to the Virgin Mary! 】
After reacting, Xu Yan politely rushed forward and cursed at Jiang Zhaorong.
Jiang Zhaorong had a look of having given up, and Jiang Zhiyu spoke up to stop Xu Yanli, mainly because she was afraid that the old lady would get angry and get hurt.
"You scold him because you don't understand him," Jiang Zhiyu sighed softly. "If you understood him, you would want to beat him to death."
Xu Yanli: He wants to beat him to death now!
Others: Agree!
Jiang Zhaorong shrank back.
Other people might pay attention to things like etiquette and morality, but Jiang Zhiyu is different, she really takes action!
Jiang Zhiyu rolled up his sleeves, ready to go, but heard a timid voice from among the ministers: "Although the words are a bit rough, the logic is sound. As a child, how can we stand by and watch our father die?"
Jiang Zhiyu: "??? Are there any other experts?"
Everyone: “…”
The minister standing beside him instantly moved away from the person who spoke. The only person standing in the small open space seemed particularly conspicuous.
The man looked timid. He was still young and it was his first time experiencing such an occasion. He didn't know where to put his hands. He lowered his head and looked at his toes, muttering softly, "If I can't get along with my parents, I can't be a human being. If I don't obey my parents, I can't be a son."
Others: “…”
Jiang Zhiyu: “…6.”
Not wanting to bother with that person, Jiang Zhiyu raised his hand and unleashed a combination of skills: "You're just venting your anger for fun, but if you really fart, I'll see you do it. It's been so long since I came back, so I'm giving you face again. Did you hear what your grandfather scolded you just now? If not, it doesn't matter. I'll carve a tombstone for you later. Oh, no, you don't deserve a tombstone, I'll just write a tombstone for you."
Jiang Zhaorong, who was dizzy from the beating, said: "..."
Jiang Zhiyu quickly withdrew his hand.
For people like Jiang Zhaorong, physical pain is often not as effective as heartache.
If he was knocked unconscious, Jiang Zhaorong would not be able to hear the heart-wrenching words, and that would be a loss!
The timid young man was dumbfounded when he saw this scene.
His face turned red and his body started to tremble.
Jiang Zhiyu predicted him: "Let me remind you that we have all severed ties with him. If he agrees, his name will be removed from the family tree."
The young man calmed down instantly.
His face was no longer red and his body was no longer shaking.
The relationship is over, that's fine.
Everyone: “…”
Jiang Zhaorong reached out and wiped the blood from the corner of her lips.
The emperor looked disgusted.
At this moment, Xing Maozhi also came over carrying Song Shiwei. Without the hood, the hideous scars on Song Shiwei's face were exposed in front of everyone, and everyone couldn't help but gasp.
[Ah, Jiang Zhaorong is really ruthless.]
The eyes of the few people who could hear her thoughts all fell on her.
Was it Jiang Zhaorong who did it? They thought it was Xiao Yanli.
On the way to the palace, Song Shiwei saw the corpses on the ground through the gap and knew what had happened. Looking at the dejected Xiao Yanli and the bruised Jiang Zhaorong, Song Shiwei felt a sense of pleasure for no reason!
