The knife was across her neck, and the cold stitches were shining with a chilling light, as if if she exerted a little force, it would cut the delicate artery.

Zong Zhengli was about to approach.

She pressed her hand tightly, "If you still want to catch Zong Zhengchen, you'd better keep me. If something happens to me, you may not be able to control Zong Zhengchen."

He paused.

threaten?

Indeed, Zong Zhengchen ran out of the city. Although he had the upper hand, Zong Zhengchen had fiefdoms and military forces, and he could completely establish himself as king. If a real fight broke out, he might not be Zong Zhengchen's opponent.

But, did she hate him so much?

Even threatening him with cutting his neck?

He frowned and said coldly:

"You dare to die? Don't you want Ziye anymore?"

"Who doesn't want to live? If you live in humiliation, it's better to die and put an end to it all."

"you!"

Anger welled up in his eyes and he wanted to move forward, but his steps stopped abruptly.

Looking at her stubborn look with her chin slightly raised and her hands clenched tightly, he felt a rage stuck in his heart, unable to vent it, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Damn it!

He clenched his hands, took a deep breath, turned around, kicked over the table, and without stopping, turned around and strode away.

"Look at her."

"yes!"

As the command ended, the man's footsteps became farther and farther away.

In the palace.

Things have changed.

Panlong Hall.

Although the emperor had suffered a stroke and his body was no longer controlled by his brain, his mind was extremely clear. At this moment, he was lying on the bed helplessly, being served by two palace maids.

Wipe your body.

Take medicine.

After it was over, I was served and made to lie down, and the door was pushed open from the outside.

"Your Highness..." The sound of a salute.

He thought it was King Chen who had arrived, and looked outside happily. However, when he saw the face of the person who came, his eyes widened instantly. Even though he could not speak, one could see his expression of surprise and hatred.

How could it be him?

Zong Zhengli?!

Wasn't he imprisoned in the prison?

Where is Zong Zhengchen?

Where is Qin Ye?

"Father seems surprised to see me?" Zong Zhengli came over with his hands behind his back. After sending away the palace maids, he turned around and sat gracefully in front of the bed, looking at the person on the bed with a smile.

"Well--"

The emperor opened his eyes wide and waved his hands.

He was so excited that he wanted to question him and pushed him away. His mouth was twitching and drooling, but he couldn't say a word:

"Well!"

The look of him trying so hard that his face turned red looked a bit ferocious.

Zong Zhengli looked down at him from above, his disdainful look was as if he was looking at a pitiful creature:

“Tsk.”

Shaking his head regretfully:

"I never thought that my high and mighty father would have such a day. Look at you, your body is twitching, your saliva is flowing, and you have to urinate and defecate on the bed. It's really disgusting."

"Well!!"

The emperor's eyes suddenly dilated, almost bursting.

furious.

Extremely angry.

But he couldn't vent his anger, he could only watch helplessly and endure the humiliation, which made him feel so much pain in his internal organs that he vomited blood.

So miserable.

The palace maids knelt far away, with their heads lowered, not daring to breathe, and could only pretend that they heard and saw nothing.

Zong Zheng laughed:

"I know you want to kill me. After all, you killed my mother. It's not impossible for you to kill your own son."

However, he no longer holds any resentment.

After he gained power, no one dared to look down on him anymore, and he would slowly and bit by bit get back the humiliation he had suffered in the past.

He straightened his robe, stood up, and sighed quietly:

"Hey, the outside world is in such chaos, and Prince Chen has committed treason again. Such a big country must be explained. Someone, bring a wheelchair and push the emperor to court."

"yes……"

The maids hurried on.

Soon, the emperor was placed on a wheelchair and pushed by two palace maids.

Outside the door, Commander Zhang came over and said, "Your Highness, according to your instructions, all the officials are already in the Dacheng Hall, just waiting for you to go over and take charge of the situation."

Zong Zhengli nodded and glanced at the person beside him, "Push him over."

"yes."

Commander Zhang went to push.

The emperor was so angry that his eyes were crooked and his mouth was twisted. Commander Zhang, you traitor!

Commander Zhang smiled like a servile person. The word traitor was too harsh. He was just a man of insight. The emperor was old, and it was normal for him to choose a new master for himself.

In the Dacheng Hall.

The officials were discussing, their voices rising one after another, never stopping. Everyone had a different expression on their face and different thoughts.

The followers of Prince Li are happy, the followers of Prince Chen are worried, and the neutral faction is concerned about the future of the country.

Soon, the emperor arrived.

All the civil and military officials were stunned when they saw the emperor sitting in a wheelchair.

I haven't seen the emperor for a few days. How come he looks like this?

Stiff? Can't speak? Drooling? Twitching?

"What happened to the Emperor?"

"emperor!"

Everyone was very worried.

Zong Zhengli pushed him considerately, sighed heavily, and said:

"Speaking of this, I am deeply saddened. I never thought that Zong Zhengchen would imprison me in the Heavenly Prison in order to obtain the throne, and also poisoned the emperor into this state. If it weren't for Commander Zhang's timely rescue, the emperor would be dead now!"

Everyone: “!”

Did King Chen do this?

"Prince Chen poisoned the emperor?"

"No?"

When this was said, everyone was shocked. Who didn't know that the emperor's favorite prince was Prince Chen? How could Prince Chen do such a thing?

Commander Zhang stroked his chest and said with great heartache:

"You all may not know that His Royal Highness Prince Li gave birth to the Emperor's eldest grandson. Prince Chen was worried that Prince Li would take his place, so he took the initiative. Fortunately, His Royal Highness Prince Li saved the Emperor in time, otherwise, the ambitious Zong Zhengchen would have succeeded!"

Upon hearing this, the Emperor widened his eyes and trembled with anger:

“Hmm!”

He struggled hard and accidentally fell face forward on the ground with a loud bang.

Commander Zhang quickly helped the man up:

"Look, look! When the Emperor mentioned Prince Chen, his reaction was so strong that even he was very angry and wanted to kill Prince Chen!"

"Well--!"

The emperor was very angry.

These beasts are full of nonsense!

brute!

Zong Zhengli!

It's obviously you who has evil intentions!

You actually defamed Prince Chen and whitewashed yourself in front of all the civil and military officials in the court. You are so shameless!
