Chapter 42 Assassination



No one paid attention to the way Emperor Wen looked at Murong Yanche. At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the figure who stood up in the hall.

Huangfu Lian'er stood up quietly and knelt in the center of the hall.

"Princess Huangfu Lian'er of Simon Kingdom pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor!" A gentle female voice sounded.

She was holding an exquisite wooden box in her hands with an impeccable smile on her face.

As a princess, Huangfu Lian'er was naturally stunningly beautiful. Many people were secretly discussing her beauty, but Murong Yanche seemed not to care and just lowered his head to drink tea.

Liu Wushuang's eyes were filled with tears and she was extremely anxious, but there was nothing she could do. The marriage between the two countries was not something she, as the daughter of the prime minister, could stop.

Eunuch Wan knew how much Emperor Wen was looking forward to the letter, so he ran down the platform and carefully took the wooden box from Huangfu Lian'er's hand.

Emperor Wen smiled, the city he had been waiting for for a long time was about to be in his hands.

"Your Majesty." Eunuch Wan said respectfully.

However, before he raised his head, he suddenly heard a cry of surprise from the hall.

"ah!"

"The Princess of Simon Country attempted assassination!"

Shouts and panic sounds came one after another, and the guards hurried over.

But it was too late. Huangfu Lian'er was even faster. Before Eunuch Wan could react, she had already rushed forward and arrived in front of Emperor Wen. She suddenly raised a dagger and was about to stab Emperor Wen.

"stop!"

Countless people shouted, and at this moment, before Huangfu Lian'er's dagger stabbed the panicked Emperor Wen, Murong Yanche's teacup had already flown between the two of them.

With a snap, the cup shattered and Huangfu Lian'er's dagger fell to the ground with a clang.

"Someone, come and catch her for me!" Emperor Wen was sitting on the dragon throne with his hair disheveled. In the chaos, he grabbed the wooden box and threw it at Huangfu Lian'er.

Huangfu Lian'er's face was ferocious and she was about to pounce again, and in the hall, the envoys brought by Huangfu Jinghe also suddenly left their seats.

One minister pointed at Huangfu Jing's nose angrily and cursed, "Prince Simon, our country is willing to form a friendly marriage, but we never expected that you would have such evil intentions!"

"Haha, it's nothing more than a political tactic. Who told you to believe in the rumors about those ten cities?" Huangfu Jing raised the corners of his lips and said sarcastically.

These words really embarrassed Emperor Wen, who was high above and hiding behind the guards. Huangfu Lian'er jumped up and soon started fighting with the guards.

Huangfu Jing narrowed his eyes, then sent someone to set off a firework outside the hall.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a group of people came outside. They were all wearing clothes of Apocalypse Country. There were about thirty of them, and they were agile and looked like top masters.

"General Luo, what are you still doing here? The monarch is standing under a dangerous wall. You who eat the monarch's salary, why don't you stop these people quickly!"

The whole hall was in chaos, but there were two eye-catching figures drinking tea leisurely.

Following the accusation of a minister, everyone also noticed that Luo Fanjin, who was supposed to be protecting the emperor, did not move at all, which was absolutely abnormal.

For a moment, everyone was angry.

Luo Fanjin sat steadily on the chair, looking at the chaotic crowd. He was not anxious. Instead, he smiled slightly and raised his eyebrows to Murong Yanche beside him, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is not anxious, so why should this general be anxious!"

These words were even more infuriating, especially Luo Fanjin's calm appearance, which really made the ministers in the court uncomfortable.

"Luo Fanjin, do you know what you are saying? If something happens to His Majesty, you will not have a good ending!" said an old minister fiercely.

Luo Fanjin seemed not to have heard it. She just stared in a daze as she watched Huangfu Jing and his men fighting with the guards and about to gain the upper hand.

[What happened to the anchor? What a great opportunity to save the day! He is sitting here motionless! I really don’t understand what the hell is going on? ]

【Don’t understand +1】

Murong Yanche turned his head and looked at Luo Fanjin, who was as steady as a mountain and unmoved as himself, and asked, "General Luo doesn't seem to be worried."

Luo Fanjin turned around, smiled and said, "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in a hurry, why should I be in a hurry? They are just a few small soldiers and crab generals. If the guards in the palace can't even solve this, then what's the point of us soldiers fighting at the border?"

Her implication was very clear. It was just a few dozen people. There were naturally experts in the inner court of the imperial palace. If these people couldn't do anything, then the regime in this country could change at any time.

"What's more, this drama has just begun!" Luo Fanjin's words were even more incoherent.

Just when the audience in the live broadcast room and the people in the hall were feeling a little confused about the current situation, a voice suddenly appeared outside.

"Your humble servant is late in coming to your rescue! Please forgive me!"

Luo Fanjin turned her head and saw that King Yan had indeed come as she expected.

The moment the dusty figure of Prince Yan appeared at the entrance of the hall, no one had any hope. But soon, the armored soldiers who appeared one after another made the eyes of all the ministers shine.

"Royal brother, you came at the right time. Simon country is extremely rebellious and took advantage of the time when the letter was submitted to assassinate me. Hurry up and bring people to kill them all!"

Emperor Wen was furious. The ten cities turned out to be a lie, and Simon's tribute was just a conspiracy.

When the King of Qi heard this, he burst into laughter.

"King Yan, since you are here, let's have a good talk about the matter of the ten cities!"

What's the meaning?

Everyone just felt that their brains were not enough. Ten cities, isn’t that a lie?

Luo Fanjin looked at the chaotic hall and saw Prince Yan who had come to rescue the emperor, and Emperor Wen who was in a panic.

She knew very well that it was all just a trap.

"It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has seen through everything!" Luo Fanjin whispered.

"I can't compare to General Luo's ability to see the whole picture from a single leaf." Murong Yanche replied.

The conversation between the two people did not affect others. Everyone was looking at the King of Yan walking with the King of Qi in shock.

"Your Highness Prince Yan, you have indeed fulfilled your promise!" Prince Qi said with a smile.

"Uncle, could it be that Prince Yan is the accomplice you mentioned?" Huangfu Jing asked in surprise.

"Yes, as long as we help King Yan obtain the throne today, Tianqi Nation will give us ten cities. This is the bargaining chip that I have already agreed with King Yan."

"Brother Emperor, you are incompetent and have ignored the well-being of the people and carried out large-scale civil engineering projects. I, your humble servant, am willing to act on behalf of heaven and take over the throne!" Prince Yan said righteously.

When these words were spoken, Emperor Wen's eyes turned red with anger, and he wished he could pounce on Prince Yan immediately.

As the guards in front of him died one after another, he finally became scared.

"I treated you well and gave you control of the Imperial Guards, but I never thought you would betray me!"

"Oh! Betrayal! Who wouldn't want to sit in this honorable position? We are all direct descendants of the previous emperor. Why should you do it? I am also qualified. Do you really think that I have not remembered the truth about my loss among the people?"

King Yan’s words were like a thunder, resounding in everyone’s heart!
