Chapter 493: A Game within a Game
Qin Yishu was helped to the dragon throne.
Qin Yishu had gotten rid of his previous weakness and now he sat up straight, looking energetic, but he looked at Qin Lingshu with a gloomy face.
The other guards who rushed into the hall surrounded Qin Lingshu.
Even Wu Qi, who had been very respectful to him during this period, looked at him coldly.
After a moment of stunned silence, Qin Lingshu suddenly understood the key.
This is a game.
Game within a game.
First, he was allowed to induce Qin Peiyuan to hold everyone hostage in rebellion, and then he was allowed to completely reveal his true colors and make his intentions known to the world.
Destroy everything he has worked so hard for over the years.
good.
very good!
After all, I underestimated Qin Yishu!
He always looked like a friendly brother and entrusted him with important tasks. He never thought that he had done so much behind the scenes and controlled everything! Even Wu Qi, whom he had cultivated for so many years, was won over by him! Thinking of Wu Qi, Qin Lingshu smiled sinisterly, "The lives of your Wu family descendants are all in my hands. Now you dare to betray me. Are you really not afraid that your Wu family will be extinct?"
"Not to mention that the emperor has already ordered people to control you, even if those people's lives are really in your hands, I don't care."
Wu Qi sneered, then reached out and felt around his face. When he found the edge of the crack, he slowly and forcefully pulled off the skin that was stuck to his face.
A complete human skin mask was torn off, revealing its original face.
Qin Lingshu looked at the true face of the person in front of him in astonishment, his voice trembling, "Why is it you!"
"Why can't it be me?" Wu Xingyu touched his nose. "Although I am not from the eldest branch of the Wu family, we are of similar age. I grew up together with Wu Qi and even studied in the clan school together."
"Wu Qi is the youngest among his peers. He is the focus of the family's teachers and everyone else. I have always been very envious of him. I even thought that if I behaved like him, I would be respected by my family. So I often imitated him. As a result, many of my expressions and small movements are very similar to his. I was not noticed for many days when I was around the eldest prince, and I was never seen through in front of Prince Yue."
"Oh, yes, Prince Yue may be asking why I am still alive. I don't need to hide it from you. At that time, I was abandoned by the Wu family and was beaten to death by my brother. It was Minister He who sent someone to save me. That's how I was able to save my life."
"My life was given by Minister He, so I will naturally follow his orders. As for the Wu family, which is like a cannibalistic den, I hate them to the core. Prince Yue, if you want to kill or beat them, it is all up to you."
Qin Lingshu's pupils dilated again because of shock.
It turned out that Wu Qi was disguised by Wu Xingyu, and Wu Qi knew too much about him, so it was easy for him to break all his plans.
Finished.
It's all over...
His throne, his power, all his hopes, his reputation, and even his life...
All of them must disappear from this world!
Qin Lingshu's face was filled with dejection, as if all the energy had been drained from him, and he slumped to the ground.
With his head drooped very low, almost hanging on his chest, Qin Lingshu said nothing. After a long time, he suddenly got up and pointed at Qin Yishu and shouted, "In order to lure Qin Peiyuan and I out, you set up such a trap and killed so many people. You used the blood of so many students and loyal guards to exchange for our lives, but it only satisfied your own needs."
"Have you ever thought about the lives and blood of those people? It was all in vain!"
"You stepped on so many bones just to show off your ability, just to sit high and mighty and look down on me. Don't you feel the slightest bit of guilt?"
"You are such a tyrant!"
"Do you think that if you get rid of us, your country will be stable? I tell you, the wronged souls of those who died in vain will gather in front of your window in their dreams at midnight and demand your life!"
"Someone will eventually expose your deeds and make them known to the world, so that all the people in the world can see what kind of incompetent emperor you are!"
"Prince Yue, please don't worry about this matter." A clear voice was heard, and several people in official uniforms walked out from behind the guards and came in front of Qin Lingshu.
When Qin Lingshu saw that the people in front of him were Censor Song and his companions, he was stunned again. After a moment, he muttered to himself, "How is it possible? You were clearly..."
"You were beheaded because you accused the eldest prince in the palace that day, right?" Censor Song touched his neck and smiled. "When I was dragged outside the palace that day, I also thought I was going to be beheaded. I even saw the raised sword about to fall on my neck."
"It's a pity that there was a secret compartment on the ground and I fell into it. The one who was beheaded was only the condemned prisoner. As for the head sent to Chongyang Palace, I'm sure Prince Yue knows what happened even if I don't tell him."
Since he was able to disguise Wu Xingyu as Wu Qi without anyone knowing, he definitely has the ability to disguise a human head.
What's more, after the head was chopped off, its expression was hideous and covered in blood. Everyone was so terrified at the time that they didn't dare to identify it carefully. It can be said that there was no need to worry too much.
"It seems that Prince Yue still doesn't understand at all." Duke Anguo walked up to him and said in a low voice, "Since the emperor has long been aware of your ambition and has painstakingly set up such a plan, how could he have sacrificed so many lives in vain?"
"Let's not talk about those loyal guards for now. Even those students who shouted slogans in the capital were played by agile guards. It looked like a massacre, but it was just a show. As for the guards who killed people wantonly in the capital, they were all led by Wu Xingyu. The corpses that often stayed in the streets were just death row prisoners. This show was naturally well done."
"Not only that, Qin Peiyuan's reputation for cruelty and brutality, and the killings that happened every day in the capital were all deliberately fabricated and released. Even the so-called righteous army was instructed by the emperor. Otherwise, does Prince Yue really think that he has such a high reputation?"
Therefore, when he was nominated, no one opposed it. And when he led the so-called righteous army to the capital, there were only welcomes and greetings along the way, and there was no opposition at all.
To the extent that he really thought that he was highly respected and would be able to rule the country smoothly after sitting on the throne.
Now it seems that it was nothing more than a pipe dream.
Qin Yishu's plan mobilized so many people and involved so many things, but he and Qin Peiyuan were kept in the dark.
ridiculous.
It's really ridiculous! Qin Lingshu looked at everyone in front of him and laughed loudly, and suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his chest.
These two days seem to be special days. The website should have some technical intervention. I can't see many readers' messages. Many readers can't see my messages. After receiving the prompt, I clicked it and it showed that the comments were deleted. The author explained that the author did not delete any comments in the past two days. It was simply due to the website system... As for why this situation occurred in the past two days, you can Baidu it yourself. It's inconvenient to explain...
