Chapter 181 Zheng Wanba Forces the Emperor to Abdicate
“…”
Suddenly, she fell from the roof to the ground, and the fleeting touch on her waist disappeared. Qing Qianxue stared at Jiang Youning, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
He... was held in the waist?
Being held around the waist by a 14-year-old girl?
Seeing that Qing Qianxue didn't respond, Jiang Youning stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes: "Master Imperial Master, why don't you say anything? Are you scared?"
[Damn it, my good friend is not trying to cheat me, right? ]
[If that's the case, then I'll send you back to the rooftop so you can continue to enjoy the swordplay!!!]
“…”
Qing Qianxue's slightly dazed mood was successfully smoothed out in an instant.
"Okay, I'll come over tomorrow to give you the reward."
After a moment, Qian Miao came down from the roof holding a long sword that was still dripping with blood, and came to Qing Qianxue to report.
"Master, all the assassins in Jiang's house have been dealt with."
"Let's deal with all the people."

the other side.
At the palace banquet.
Zheng Wanba waited and waited, but no one came to inform him that the officials' families had all been arrested.
He couldn't sit still for a moment.
"Your Majesty, I want to change my clothes."
"Well, go ahead."
Chu Wenzong nodded.
During the whole process, he did not forget to observe his beloved's facial expression carefully. Seeing that he was getting more and more restless, he felt happier and happier in his heart.
If he wanted to capture the families of his ministers and use them as threats, he was doomed to be disappointed.
While he was enjoying the singing and dancing, the great eunuch Fu Kang came over again and whispered in Chu Wenzong's ear: "Your Majesty, the young marquis has returned and said he has something important to report to you."
"Call him over here."
Chu Wenzong nodded.
Soon, Xie Ciyan came to Chu Wenzong's side. He leaned over and whispered in Chu Wenzong's ear: "Your Majesty, I went to the General's Mansion to inquire about it. Zheng Wanba is dead."
Chu Wenzong suddenly raised his head, his eyes widened.
"The people who come to attend the palace banquet..."
soon.
Emperor Wenzong of Chu responded.
"Where is Zheng Wanba's body?"
"I have taken her into the palace."
Chu Wenzong's eyes suddenly turned deep and his fingertips tapped lightly on the back of the chair a few times.
Finally, he said slowly, "Listen to my orders later and take him down immediately! Nothing can happen."
"yes!"
Xie Ciyan nodded, then left with a bohemian smile on his face.
When Zheng Wanba left and came back with a sullen face, there was a child beside him.
The child was about five or six years old. Zheng Wanba grabbed his hand and seemed to be dragged away unwillingly. His expression was full of fear.
"Your Majesty, I came here today and I have a gift for you."
With a smile in his eyes, Zheng Wanba reached out and touched the child in his hand.
The child was so frightened that he trembled. He looked at Chu Wenzong and Cui Zhaoan and immediately shouted with red eyes: "Father, Emperor, Mother, I am your biological son, please save me!"
In an instant.
The officials on the field looked at each other in confusion.
Chu Wenzong and Cui Zhaoan stared at the child off the court motionlessly, feeling a chill in their hearts.
Fortunately... Fortunately, the Queen Mother informed them in advance, otherwise the sudden appearance of a child would easily catch them off guard.
at the same time.
Zheng Wanba had a dagger in his hand, and the dagger went to the child's neck.
And all around, a group of elite soldiers wearing armor and holding long swords appeared at some point. As soon as these elite soldiers appeared, they surrounded everyone present.
"General, what are you going to do?"
The elderly ministers looked at Zheng Wanba, trembling with fear and reproach in their eyes.
"What?"
Zheng Wanba smiled and then looked at Chu Wenzong.
"Your Majesty, you have been sitting on the throne for some time, and now... this palace has been surrounded by my people.
Your Majesty, why don't you abdicate and leave the throne to your own son?
Your Majesty, rest assured that I will do my utmost to assist the new king and create a peaceful and prosperous era for the Yu Kingdom!"
Chu Wenzong looked at Zheng Wanba calmly, as if he wanted to see through his face and see the true appearance underneath.
"Oh? My dear, do you think that just by opening your mouth and letting a random child call me father, he can become my son?"
This was naturally within Zheng Wanba's countermeasures, and a smile appeared on his face again:
"Your Majesty may not believe me, so why don't I recall it for you... Five years ago, the baby that Grandma gave to Your Majesty was a dead baby, right?
Your Majesty, I exchanged the prince for a cat and raised him by my side. This is the only son you and the Empress still have in the world. You... must think it through."
Hearing this, Chu Wenzong couldn't help laughing.
The next moment, his expression turned cold as ice.
"My dear, have you ever heard of the saying, 'While the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is waiting behind it!'"
When he smashed down a completely worthless teacup, a group of people at the banquet suddenly stood up.
The imperial guards hidden in the palace and the assassins trained by Emperor Wenzong of Chu were also immediately dispatched.
Zheng Wanba laughed loudly, and unmovedly took out the prepared arrow from his waist and shot it into the air, which exploded into a small yellow firework.
"You are worthy of being called Your Majesty. You are so ruthless that you don't even care about your own son's life. Since Your Majesty doesn't care about this only blood relative, I will send him to hell to meet his two older brothers who died long ago!"
Taking advantage of the moment when Zheng Wanba raised his head, Jiang Li, who had been waiting for an opportunity, suddenly made a move, using the force to kick Zheng Wanba's right arm holding the dagger away.
The next moment, Xie Ciyan attacked him from behind.
Jiang Li took the opportunity to throw the child out, and the child casually fell on the desk of one of the adults. The adult was so scared that he immediately crawled under the table, shaking like a quail.
Next, the prince and Jiang He also joined in the fight to kill Zheng Wanba.
"This person is very powerful, everyone be careful!"
In the melee, everyone was only paying attention to the front, and no one noticed that Concubine Zheng slowly stood up.
Her body was getting closer and closer to the center of the melee.
At some point.
When Zheng Wanba was concentrating on fighting one against four, a figure suddenly rushed towards him.
"Brother, be careful!"
Concubine Zheng threw herself into Zheng Wanba's arms.
The long sword in Zheng Wanba's hand pierced Concubine Zheng Guifei's chest, while Xie Ciyan's sword pierced her shoulder blade.
Concubine Zheng took advantage of the force and threw herself into Zheng Wanba's arms.
Immediately afterwards, a long hairpin suddenly appeared and pierced Zheng Wanba's neck without any warning.
Blood gushed out of Concubine Zheng Gui's mouth, and she fell to the ground. There was a faint smile in her eyes: "You... pretended to be my brother, you deserve to die!"
Zheng Wanba stood there with his eyes wide open.
He was a little confused as to why the person who was arranged to enter the palace from Qingyun Temple did not show up.
Why... Concubine Zheng found out that he was not Zheng Wanba.
