Chapter 117 Finale (Part 2)
Several generals moved forward, but the general closest to Jing Sixuan unexpectedly turned around, raised his sword high, and stabbed at Jing Siye with lightning speed.
Jing Siye didn't expect to be attacked from behind. In the moment of life and death, he managed to grab the tip of the sword with his hand. The sharp sword blade cut into the palm of his hand, and blood instantly flowed down along the blade.
When Zhu Wenqin saw this scene, her pupils suddenly dilated and she couldn't help but screamed:
"emperor……"
Xiao Wanyi seized the opportunity of this chaos, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she raised her sword without hesitation and slashed at Zhu Wenqin.
Zhai Qing, who had been closely watching Xiao Wanyi's movements from the side, felt his heart suddenly shrink. Without time to think, he kicked his feet and rushed forward, using his body to block Zhu Wenqin.
At this critical moment of life and death, a middle-aged man suddenly flew out from among the court officials and instantly stood in front of Zhai Qing.
With a muffled groan, he took the fatal sword blow for Zhai Qing. At the same time, he shouted loudly and slapped Xiao Wanyi with a palm. Xiao Wanyi was chopped away and fell heavily to the ground.
Xiao Wanyi was quickly brought under control, and the ministers in the court who had been drugged were now dead or injured. Broken limbs were scattered all over the ground, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Those who were still breathing were tied up tightly with ropes by Xue Nian and dragged away.
Jing Siye never expected that his mother actually knew martial arts.
Looking at Xiao Wanyi, who was lying on the ground in a mess but still had a stubborn look on her face, Jing Siye's eyes suddenly became dark and he said coldly word by word:
"Mother, you hid it well enough to have such martial arts skills?"
Xiao Wanyi knew that today's plan had completely failed, and she was going to die anyway, so she just laughed out loud:
"Jing Siye, you thought you were so capable, Empress Xiao? Humph, I killed her when she went to the temple to visit your queen mother half a year ago."
When everyone heard this, they all stood there in a daze, as if they were under a spell. Only one person slowly knelt on his knees.
Jing Siye glared at him fiercely, his voice as cold as the frost in December:
"Zhai Qing, I will settle the score with you later!"
"emperor,"
At this time, the man who saved Zhu Wenqin covered his chest which was bleeding and spoke with difficulty,
"For the sake of me saving the queen, and for the sake of him trying to block the sword for the queen, please spare him."
Everyone's eyes turned to him at the same time. Jing Siye was also full of doubts and couldn't help asking:
"Who are you?"
The man hesitated for a while, and suddenly, he slowly raised his hand and took off the mask bit by bit. When Zhai Qing saw that familiar face, his breathing suddenly stopped and he blurted out:
"Father?"
Jing Siye: “…”
Everyone: “…”
"That's right, Your Majesty. The guilty one is this old minister Zhai Yu. I am willing to take the full responsibility for this."
"Father, is it really you?" Zhai Qing ran over in disbelief and helped the injured Zhai Yu up.
"No wonder, I felt a sense of familiarity these past few days. It turns out it was really you."
Jing Siye asked in shock: "Zhai Yu, you are not dead?"
Zhai Yu sighed and said slowly: "Back then, I didn't know that Zhai Qing's mother was going to the palace. She only told me to go back to her parents' home. If I had known, I would have stopped her."
"Later, the truth was exposed and you poisoned our family. At that time, Luo He, the leader of the Chi Ming Sect, had been lurking nearby. After you left, he immediately took me away. It took me three whole years to fully recover."
"Chi Ming Sect?" Jing Siye's eyes swept towards Nangong Ling again.
Nangong Ling immediately waved his hands and said anxiously: "Hey, uncle, my master is gone, don't wrongly accuse him. I don't think I have ever seen you in the Chi Ming Sect."
"Yes, I will tell you slowly later. Now, I only ask the emperor to let Qing'er go." Zhai Yu spoke earnestly.
Just when everyone's attention was focused on Zhai Yu, Concubine Chen suddenly looked fierce and flew towards Jing Siye.
Jing Siye's eyes flashed, and he snatched the sword from Li Xiao's hand without hesitation and shot it hard at Concubine Chen. Concubine Chen was unable to dodge and was pierced straight through the chest by the sword. Blood splattered everywhere and she fell to the ground.
"Senior sister, senior sister..." Zhai Qing exclaimed, and ran to Concubine Chen in a panic, her voice filled with tears.
"Senior sister, please don't die. Please tell me the antidote recipe. I want to save Heng'er. I want to save Heng'er..."
Concubine Chen took her last breath and said intermittently:
"I am Yoshiko Okawa, the right protector of the Imperial Master. I failed to complete the mission..."
Before she could finish her words, her hands dropped weakly and she died.
Zhai Qing shook her body desperately.
“Senior Sister…”
When he found that she was really dead, he slowly turned to Xiao Wanyi beside him, his eyes full of pleading:
"Master, you have the formula, right? You can definitely save Heng'er, right?"
"Master?"
Now the ministers hiding behind the pillars slowly moved over, their faces filled with shock and confusion.
It turned out that Empress Xiao was actually disguised as the Japanese.
Jing Siye looked at Zhai Qing angrily and rebuked loudly:
"Okay, Zhai Qing, you almost made a big mistake. She almost took Qin'er's life just now!"
Zhai Qing knelt down with a plop, tears streaming down his face: "Your Majesty, Zhai's life or death is no longer important. I just want Heng'er to live well. Please, find a way to save him."
Zhai Yu also knelt down, weeping:
"Your Majesty, please forgive him. He has been innocent from the beginning to the end. He... is not our biological son at all."
As soon as these words were spoken, the court suddenly became quiet again, and then another "clang" sound was heard.
Chu Heng stood at the door of the hall without knowing when, and the mysterious iron box fell to the ground. It was obvious that he heard what Zhai Yu said just now and was so shocked that he dropped his hand.
When Zhai Qing heard these words, his face instantly lost color. After being stunned for a moment, his whole body seemed to have lost its spine. He slumped to the ground, his eyes empty and blank.
While everyone was concentrating on digesting this series of heavy news, Xiao Wanyi rushed towards the stunned Chu Heng. Before Chu Heng could react, Xiao Wanyi grabbed his throat.
Her face, which was already ferocious due to the failure of her plan, now looked even crazier. She dug her nails deep into Chu Heng's neck and shouted:
"Don't come over here! Otherwise I will kill him immediately!"
Jing Siye's expression suddenly changed, and a bone-chilling chill emanated from his body. He said in a cold voice:
"Xiao Wanyi, you'd better let him go immediately, otherwise today will be your death day."
Xiao Wanyi laughed loudly, her laughter was shrill and crazy:
"Death date? I have already predicted it! I am the Grand Master of Japan, how can I be afraid of death? If I die in your court, Japan will immediately attack your country."
Jing Siye sneered: "Would I be afraid of your small country, Japan? If you quickly let him go, I will leave your body intact."
Zhai Qing finally came to his senses, his face full of sorrow and anxiety, his legs softened, and he fell to his knees:
"Master, please, he is my hope of survival, I will give you whatever you want, as long as you let Henger go!"
Xiao Wanyi turned a deaf ear to him and became more and more brutal in her attacks. Chu Heng's face turned purple and he tried in vain to pry her hands apart.
Just when everyone was at a loss, An Yi hooked his hand on the beam and half of his body appeared at the door of the hall. He threw a hidden weapon and accurately pierced Xiao Wanyi's wrist.
Then he somersaulted in and kicked her hard on the back.
