He clearly knew why I was doing this, clearly knew what I was thinking, yet after I returned home, he still asked me to give the general position to my elder brother who had recovered?!
Jiang Wenjing's eyes went dark for a moment. He gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to kick him, taking a big step back.
Jiang Zhaorong's hands suddenly grabbed nothing and she fell to the ground.
He was no longer thinking when speaking, and had no idea that he had provoked Jiang Wenjing. He was trying to crawl forward and was captured by the Jinyiwei.
Song Shiwei, who was standing by, started to tremble when he saw the actions of the Jinyiwei.
Jiang Zhiyu's eyes fell on the calm Xiao Yanli: "Xu Mansion, you did this, right?"
In the case of the assassination attack on the Xu Mansion, no one has figured out the cause yet. When they heard Jiang Zhiyu say this, they all looked up in surprise.
Sixth Prince?
Not to mention that the Sixth Prince was still under house arrest at the time, and so many Jinyiwei were slaughtered, where did he get those people?
After thinking this subconsciously, everyone fell silent again.
If there weren't so many people, the Sixth Prince wouldn't be here now, let alone forcing the emperor to abdicate.
Xiao Yanli was unaware of everyone's thoughts. Hearing Jiang Zhiyu's words, his eyes flickered slightly. "You're wrongly accusing me, Censor Jiang. How could I possibly have the strength to set fire to the Xu Mansion while surrounded by the Imperial Guards?"
Xiao Yanli dared to say this because he was sure that Jiang Zhiyu and the others had just returned and had not had time to investigate.
As for others, if they had found out earlier, I would have heard about it long ago.
Xiao Yanli raised the corners of his lips.
"Sixth Prince, you are being modest." Hearing the voice, Xiao Yanli suddenly looked up. The person who spoke was Jiang Kang'an who was standing next to the emperor.
Damn it, a murderous look flashed across Xiao Yanli's eyes. How could he have forgotten him!
It was said that he was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, but he was able to appear with the emperor. This was enough to prove that from the very beginning, the emperor never believed in the so-called treason!
The blood on Xiao Yanli's palm dripped through his fingers.
This was the first time in his entire life that he suffered such a terrible defeat. He was simply being played around by others!
Xiao Yanli took a deep breath.
Jiang Kangan's words, coupled with the emperor's expression showing no sign of surprise, were enough to prove that the emperor was already aware of the matter.
No matter how much I say, it will be of no use.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yanli laughed out loud.
"Father, this is truly a good plan. I just don't understand. Since everything is under your control, why didn't you just take me down directly? Why did you have to go to such lengths today?"
"Is it for humiliation, or something?"
The emperor looked away.
[Of course it's because you're the male protagonist, so it's hard to kill you.]
The emperor did not answer, but sighed softly: "I have indulged you so many times, but now, the father-son relationship is broken. You have colluded with Nan Gu and Mo Bei, and now you have killed loyal officials and are trying to force the emperor to rebellion. After all, I can no longer tolerate you."
"I will give you two a cup of poisoned wine each. Remember this lesson in your next life."
Fu Ping held the wine tray and stood in front of Xiao Yanli and Song Shiwei.
Xiao Yanli held the wine cup between two fingers and raised his eyelids to look at the emperor: "It seems that father has made up his mind to kill me."
His tone sounded like a long sigh, but it didn't show any signs of a dying man. Just as the emperor frowned, he saw Xiao Yanli move his fingers slightly and pour the poisoned wine on the ground. Then his figure was like a ghost, pinching Song Shiwei's throat and instantly retreating several meters away!
Several men in black suddenly appeared and blocked their way.
"Stop them for me!"
Xiao Yanli's voice echoed in the air, and several men in black attacked at the same time, all using killing moves.
The scene suddenly became chaotic. Under the protection of Jiang Kang'an, the emperor shouted, "Where is the captain? Pass on my order. Send the archers. If they are found, they will be killed without mercy!"
…
Xiao Yanli was running at a rapid speed with Song Shiwei. Song Shiwei knew no martial arts at all, so Xiao Yanli was carrying her on his back, so his speed was naturally slower.
After walking on the line between life and death, the fear in Song Shiwei's eyes had not faded yet. She hugged Xiao Yanli's neck tightly, and did not expect that Xiao Yanli would take her with him.
Mingming had abandoned me so many times, but at this critical moment of life and death, he took me with him?
Song Shiwei didn't understand.
But now was not the time to talk, as they were still some distance away from the palace gate. Afraid that her words would distract Xiao Yanli, Song Shiwei even slowed down her breathing.
She looked back from time to time to see if anyone was catching up with her. After just a few times of looking back, Xiao Yanli stopped.
Going out?
Song Shiwei looked up with a little hope, only to see the locked palace gate and the Jinyiwei holding bows on the city wall.
Everyone has an arrow pointed at them!
Song Shiwei tightened his grip.
Xiao Yanli didn't let her go. He patted her soothingly and asked loudly, "How could the emperor be so cruel?"
The captain drew his bow and said, "The emperor has said that we must kill without mercy. Your Highness, please listen to my advice and go back. At least you can die with dignity. If you insist on going your own way, you will have to endure the pain of a thousand arrows piercing your heart."
An arrow hit his feet.
Xiao Yanli narrowed his eyes slightly, and Song Shiwei on his back couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
"Shi Wei," Xiao Yanli suddenly said, "Hold on tight!"
Without waiting for Song Shiwei to reply, Xiao Yanli exerted force with his left foot and immediately flew into the air.
Song Shiwei's eyes widened and she grabbed his collar.
"Shoot!"
A rain of swords came towards them. When Song Shiwei was worrying about how Xiao Yanli would dodge, he felt a pain in his shoulder!
Then, on the back, on the legs...
From beginning to end, Xiao Yanli never dodged.
The blood from Song Shiwei's mouth dripped onto his clothes. Her eyes were filled with tears, but Xiao Yanli couldn't see it.
Her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to call Xiao Yanli, but she closed them again. Her hands were so weak that she could hardly hold him.
All the arrows hit Song Shiwei, so Xiao Yanli was not affected at all. The captain looked at Xiao Yanli who was about to cross the palace wall and said with a sigh, "Bring the crossbow."
The power of the crossbow is greater than that of other bows, and once it hits, it can penetrate two people.
Qianhu held his breath and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The sound of an arrow breaking through the air could be heard. Even if Xiao Yanli didn't have eyes behind him, he could still tell it by the sound.
Without any hesitation, he grabbed Song Shiwei's hand and threw her behind him!
Song Shiwei opened her eyes wide in disbelief, and the next moment, her body was pierced by an arrow and fell straight to the ground!
Without Song Shiwei, Xiao Yanli was a bit faster, but without a human shield, he was inevitably hit by a few arrows. But in the end, he still managed to escape...
…
The captain brought Song Shiwei's body back and described the scene in detail to the emperor.
"It's my incompetence that allowed him to escape!"
The emperor glanced at Song Shiwei's body and said, "He can't escape."
