Chapter 170 Chapter 170 is the only genuine version...
Changfeng's voice was so soft and weak that even the emperor, who was standing right next to him, couldn't hear it clearly.
The emperor only vaguely caught the words "father and son," "blood," and "biological son." Gu Zhizhuo, at a distance, couldn't hear them clearly. Xie Yingchen, who understood lip reading, repeated them word for word.
When he mentioned "father and son killing each other", Gu Zhizhuo's eyebrows moved and he quickly called out, "Cancan, don't let him finish."
No wonder he recognized it so readily, it turns out that this was the back-up plan.
He knew he had no way out, but he was unwilling to bear all the sins alone.
The Zhuyin curse was extremely vicious. Changfeng's sacrifice of himself was definitely not just to cause the emperor and his son to kill each other.
A greater curse is surely to come.
Gu Yican didn't ask any more questions. Since his sister had said so, he took two steps at a time and ran forward quickly.
The students were blocking the way ahead, beating their chests and stamping their feet, crying and shouting. Gu Yican, annoyed by their obstruction, grabbed one of their shoulders and leaped over them, stepping over their shoulders one by one and running to the front.
He moved so quickly and aggressively that Commander Zhou almost thought he was trying to assassinate him, so he drew his sword and blocked his way.
He lowered his voice and advised: "Cancan, stop making trouble."
Chang Feng continued with difficulty: "Curse Daqi, the Xie family..."
"Uncle Zhou, I'm sorry."
Gu Yican kicked his sword away, twisted his body flexibly, avoided Commander Zhou, and rushed to the iron cage.
"King of Zhenbei!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Gu Yican, stop."
"Protect the emperor!"
Several voices sounded at the same time. Prince Li and the Prime Minister looked even more panicked, fearing that Gu Yican would do something wrong in a moment of impulse. Prince Li even rushed over and tried to hold him back.
These two siblings have always acted strangely, and Prince Li had no time to think about his intentions. However, he only touched his sleeve, and Gu Yican kicked the iron cage.
Gu Yican used all his strength. With this kick, the heavy iron cage shook repeatedly and swayed from side to side. Changfeng rolled to the other side due to the violent shaking of the iron cage, and his back hit the iron bars behind him, revealing the black and red runes that were pressed under his body.
These runes are twisted and look like they are written in blood. Every stroke is shocking.
"sky."
Prince Li felt a chill on his back and subconsciously took a few steps towards the iron cage.
"He was cursing." Gu Yican explained.
"Curse?"
These two words made Prince Li's breathing stop and his mind went blank.
"My sister asked me to come."
Prince Li understood and stopped stopping him.
The emperor was still standing in front of the iron cage, half-squatting with his back bent. He didn't know if he was frightened out of his wits or for some other reason, but he didn't move at all.
He blocked the door of the iron cage, and Gu Yican couldn't pull Changfeng out. He wondered whether he should push the emperor away. He hesitated for just a moment, and Changfeng, who had already lost his human form, suddenly pounced on him and bit the emperor's shoulder hard with his strength.
Gu Yican stared with his eyes wide open, and he silently stepped aside. His sister said that he couldn't finish the curse, but she didn't say that he couldn't bite anyone.
"Father!"
"emperor!"
Ahh ...
Xie Jing was closest to the emperor, and he didn't care that Changfeng was covered in pus and blood, and rushed over to pull him away.
Changfeng had no strength left. After Xie Jing pulled a few times, he had no choice but to let go of his mouth.
Pooh.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, the blood was from the emperor's neck. He dipped his fingertips in the blood and completed the last stroke of the blessing spell.
"The curse is complete!"
Chang Feng laughed softly, "You will die at the hands of your own son. You will kill your own son. You will fall into the underworld of hell for eternity. Hehehe."
He had originally wanted to curse the Xie family, saying that fathers and sons would kill each other for generations. But unfortunately, he was interrupted.
The emperor covered his neck and stumbled out, shocked and frightened.
He had suddenly been unable to move, and only now did his limbs finally obey. He listened to Changfeng's vicious curse, and a chill ran down his spine. He pointed at the iron cage, seething with rage: "Come on, kill, kill, kill this demon!!"
Changfeng lay in the iron cage, his chest heaving violently.
"Your Majesty, the person who ordered the Ji family is right beside you..."
The emperor told the Jinwu Guards not to take action yet. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give you one last chance. Who is it?"
Xie Jing's mind went blank.
If the emperor knew that Ke'er was responsible for the Ji family incident, he would definitely think that the person Changfeng was talking about who wanted to kill his father was himself.
My father will kill me!
He can't be allowed to speak.
Xie Jing's arms were tense and his face flushed with nervousness.
"yes……"
Changfeng's gaze slowly turned towards Xie Jing.
"It's him..."
As he spoke, he raised his bloody hand again.
"Father, be careful."
A surge of boiling hot blood rushed into Xie Jing's brain. He roared, stood in front of the emperor, pounced on Changfeng and pressed him under him. He originally just wanted to cover his mouth, but when he came to his senses, he had already pulled out the dagger at his waist and stabbed the tip of the knife into Changfeng's chest.
Xie Jing held the hilt of the knife with both hands.
He knelt on one knee on the ground, breathing heavily.
Changfeng's shriveled face was filled with shock and fear. He could feel that his life was slowly slipping away.
Why……
He had clearly changed his destiny, so why was he the one who died?
Changfeng slowly turned his head.
His gaze passed through the screaming students and fell on Gu Zhizhuo.
Even though he couldn't see her face clearly, his keen five senses could still clearly "see" the bloody red light lingering around her.
This ball of light was even more intense than the last time she saw it, and redder than blood. It looked like light, but also like a thick blood mist, enveloping her and swallowing her.
The madly boiling breath seemed to have grown countless tentacles, madly encroaching on the surroundings with its fangs and claws.
She stands proudly in the world, unwavering by anything.
It is obvious that she is the one who is hated by God, disliked by the way of heaven, and full of death. Why is she the one who is still alive?
Why she is the winner.
Why was it she who took away his destiny?
The world has completely turned upside down!
"I, lost..."
His destiny killed him with his own hands.
puff--
Changfeng spat out a mouthful of black blood.
The dagger in his chest penetrated a little deeper and pierced his heart.
"I curse you..."
He stopped breathing.
The next moment, Xie Jing suddenly came to his senses. He dropped the dagger in panic and rolled out of the iron cage.
His face felt warm. When he wiped it with his hand, dark red blood was reflected in his pupils. The blood gave off a strong stench that lingered around his nostrils, making him nauseous.
This was Xie Jing's first murder.
He could almost still recall the feeling of the knife in his hand as it sank into his flesh.
His face turned pale and blue, and he retreated repeatedly using his hands and feet. Finally, he couldn't help vomiting, even vomiting acid water.
emperor:!
Changfeng was lying on the ground with his eyes wide open. Most of his deeply sunken eyes were white, and he died with his eyes open.
Blood flowed from his chest and sank into the ground. The black and red runes on the ground were like evil spirits, roaring and screaming.
He couldn't help but look back. Seeing Xie Jing's pupils dilated and his face panicked, the emperor felt a chill running down his spine. He couldn't help but shout, "Come here, chop this demon into pieces and burn his body to ashes!"
His shrill voice broke the deathly silence all around. Commander Zhou stepped forward to support the emperor, and the Jinwu Guards went over to drag Changfeng out of the iron cage.
Changfeng's fingers were still twitching slightly, but soon fell into complete silence again.
Commander Zhou snorted, felt the patient's neck pulse, and reported to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the Changfeng demon is dead."
The emperor covered his bleeding neck, and blood flowed through his fingers.
"You will die at the hands of your own son..."
Changfeng's curse kept echoing in his ears, over and over again.
He seemed to see the late emperor standing in front of him and saying to him: You will die at the hands of your own son just like me.
Ahhhh!
The string of his rationality snapped, and the emperor's expression twisted as he gritted his teeth and said, "Cut into pieces."
"cut!"
"cut!"
He pulled out the Embroidered Spring Sword of the Jinyiwei beside him, stumbled over, raised his hands, and slashed at Changfeng's body.
One knife, two knives...
Dark red blood splattered, splashing on his face and on the bodies of the surrounding ministers.
Even the students were no exception. At this moment, they felt that the emperor in front of them, the King of Daqi, had a face like a devil.
Gu Yican avoided the stinking black blood and calmly returned to his sister, saying, "Xie Yingchen, why don't you go over and take a look? Now's your chance to act smart and show off your wisdom."
Gu Yican deftly squeezed past him and stood beside his sister, fanning her with a round fan and looking thoughtful. "Hurry up! They're all thinking about the Crown Prince and feeling incredibly upset. If you stand up there like this again, crying and stomping your feet, all the civil and military officials will surely bow down and then rush over to chase that crazy guy down."
"From now on, the world will be at peace!"
After saying that, Gu Yican patted his shoulder and encouraged him with a wink, "Go quickly."
Xie Yingchen remained calm and asked, "Cancan, what storybooks have you read recently?"
"'The Dragon Emperor's Advent'."
"Look at it less in the future."
"I'll just watch!"
Gu Yican glared at him, and the two looked at each other. Gu Zhizhuo chuckled and instructed him to fan himself.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, stop it!"
"Someone, someone, come!"
Prince Li was going crazy, and his panicked voice continued. The other ministers were also frantically trying to pull the emperor away.
"Your Majesty, please think twice."
The smell of rancid blood grew stronger.
Everyone was frightened by the emperor's crazy look. The students retreated to both sides involuntarily. Without any obstruction in front of them, Gu Zhizhuo finally saw the emperor's appearance clearly.
His face was covered with splattered black and red blood, his eyes were red, and he was swinging the Embroidered Spring Sword frantically.
Commander Zhou pulled him hard and ordered the Jinwu Guards to drag Changfeng away quickly.
Changfeng had been chopped beyond recognition, looking like a piece of rotten meat.
The students' faces turned pale. Even though this demon Taoist deserved it, according to the law, he should have been convicted by a joint trial of three judges, rather than just being hacked around like that?
The gazes from all around made Prince Li feel very uneasy. His throat was almost broken and hoarse from shouting.
The king of a country was first bitten on the neck by the demon, and then hacked at with a knife. It was really an insult to the Great Qi Dynasty.
Prince Li looked left and right, wanting Xie Yingchen to make a decision. After looking around once, he saw no one. He looked around again and saw Xie Yingchen standing with Miss Gu in the distance. They seemed to be talking about something with smiles on their faces. The chaos here did not affect their good mood at all.
So angry.
"Your Highness," the Prime Minister said with a sullen face, "It is better that the Emperor is ill."
Prince Li also thought so. If the emperor suddenly went crazy and started slashing with his sword in the Golden Palace, the scene would be too beautiful.
He still stayed in Hanzhang Palace, which was good for both of them.
Prince Li shouted, "The Emperor is seriously ill! Where is the imperial physician? Send for him!"
The Jinwu Guards finally dragged Changfeng's body away and put it back into the iron cage, not forgetting to close the door of the cage.
"It's so chaotic." Gu Zhizhuo pointed at the chaotic crowd and chuckled.
Unconsciously, more and more people came up on the city wall. People came up one after another and then stood there in fear.
Gu Zhizhuo was afraid that his laughter would be too arrogant and anger everyone, so he buried his head in Gu Yican's shoulder, his shoulders shaking with laughter.
Gu Yican touched his chin. It was indeed lively. He hadn’t seen such a lively atmosphere for a long time. Fortunately, he returned to Beijing in time!
Gu Zhizhuo chuckled, "I told you, Lord Shen will definitely regret not coming. He's always complaining about everything and has a terrible temper."
Chaos.
"It could be even more chaotic!"
Gu Zhizhuo played a few bird calls on his bird flute. The student in blue looked at Gu Zhizhuo silently. Gu Zhizhuo nodded slightly and made a secret gesture with his hand hanging by his side.
"emperor."
The student in blue clothes mixed in with the crowd and shouted loudly.
"Please, Your Majesty, redress the deposed Crown Prince!"
"The deposed crown prince was deposed without fault and should not have suffered this unjust fate."
"Now that the evildoer has been punished, it's only right that the deposed crown prince be vindicated."
Excitement is contagious.
Most of them had never seen the deposed crown prince, but they had heard of his reputation for virtue. Looking at the emperor who now looked like a madman, they couldn't help but think, if only the crown prince had not been deposed.
A big mistake has been made.
We can't make any more mistakes.
"I beg the Emperor to redress the deposed Crown Prince."
The voices came together, and in an instant, it was as if a huge wave was set off, rippling out in waves.
"To vindicate the deposed crown prince."
"The deposed crown prince was wronged."
The emperor finally heard it, and it was as if a large basin of ice water was poured over his head, and his out-of-control sanity returned.
He stopped what he was doing and turned his head very slowly.
He was still holding the Embroidered Spring Sword, his hands were stained with blood, and his dragon robe was also covered in black and red blood.
He remembered what he had done.
However, just now his limbs were completely out of control, just like when he was in Hanzhang Palace.
Bang!
The embroidered spring knife fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty, please issue an order!"
"Your Majesty, please issue an order!"
They were all pushing him.
The emperor looked at Xie Yingchen standing with his back against the battlements, and anger rose to his forehead.
He also noticed the gazes cast upon him by the people around him, and he just wanted to shake off his actions and walk away, not having to face it all again. However, the crowds around him made him feel like he was trapped in a cage.
He said, "This is Changfeng's one-sided statement, don't trust it completely."
He clenched his fists, his palms sticky with blood.
"Then why did the emperor kill Changfeng?"
Xie Yingchen spoke, his gentle voice suppressing the chaotic whispers around him. He asked, "If the Emperor believed Changfeng's words were untrustworthy, why did he execute him? Why not hand him over to the Three Courts for trial?"
emperor:"……"
Xie Yingchen spoke calmly, "I thought Your Majesty was so angry because you were seeking justice for my father. Could it be that I misunderstood?"
Xie Yingchen deliberately called himself "nephew" so that people could guess his identity at once.
Is this King Chen?
Is it the crown prince?
All the students looked over.
In stark contrast to the mad emperor, Xie Yingchen was tall and graceful, with an extraordinary temperament, as gentle as white jade.
Prince Chen is right. If the Emperor believes that the demon's words are untrue, he should conduct an investigation instead of...
Silence.
These two words were like rumbling thunder, ringing in their ears and making their heads buzz.
"...I beg the Emperor to issue an order!"
Duke Weiguo walked up the stone steps of the Meridian Gate Tower, breaking the brief silence, with thick white gauze still wrapped around his neck.
He stepped forward, lifted his robe, and knelt on the ground. He spoke with difficulty, his throat making bursts of gasps: "Your Majesty, please redress the prince's name."
"To clear the name of the Crown Prince."
As soon as he knelt, Prime Minister Song also knelt down, and a large number of people knelt down all around him.
The emperor staggered backwards and hit his back against the iron cage.
They were all kneeling at his feet, but they were all forcing him.
"Please ask the emperor to issue an order!"
"I……"
He wanted to say, let’s talk about it after returning to the palace.
But no one gave him this opportunity, they were all forcing him.
