Xuanyuan Peng was so angry that his heart felt like it was being torn apart, and the tearing pain spread to his head, making his face turn pale.
Xuanyuan Zhan looked at Xuanyuan Peng with concern, and subconsciously wanted to step forward.
Zong Jiu also wanted to step forward out of concern, but Xuan Yuanpeng stopped him by raising his hand.
Xuanyuan Yu was shocked that Xuanyuan Peng knew everything, and panicked again: "Father, you have misunderstood me, I really didn't..."
"Nothing?" Before Xuan Yuan Yu could finish speaking, Xuan Yuan Peng angrily rebuked, "Did you not cast a spell on me? Did you not forge an imperial edict to harm Zhan'er? Or did you not commit patricide and regicide to seize my throne!"
With each word Xuanyuan Peng spoke, Xuanyuan Yu's forehead broke out in a cold sweat. He opened his mouth as if to say something more, but he knew that no matter what he said, his father would not believe him.
Xuanyuan Peng coldly swept his gaze toward Long Jiaojiao: "Long Jiaojiao, the Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang, conspired with Xuanyuan Yu to murder me, placing a puppet curse on me, leaving me with only three days to live. Diplomatic relations between Eastern Chu and Southern Xinjiang are now severed, and I will send the Eastern Chu army to attack and annihilate Southern Xinjiang!"
Upon hearing Xuan Yuanpeng's words, Long Jiaojiao was instantly terrified. She immediately cried out, "I've already said it! It wasn't me who put the puppet curse on you, it was Xuan Yuanzhan..."
"Slap!" Before Long Jiaojiao could finish speaking, Xuanyuan Peng slammed his hand on the dragon throne again and roared, "You still dare to slander Zhan'er? Do you really think I'm senile? Guards, drag this witch away and execute her by slow slicing!"
At Xuanyuan Peng's command, the Imperial Guards rushed in to drag Long Jiaojiao out.
Long Jiaojiao finally panicked and hurriedly shouted, "It really wasn't this Holy Maiden who put the curse on you, it was that idiot Xuanyuan Yu who put the curse on you!"
Upon hearing Long Jiaojiao's shout, Xuan Yuan Yu broke out in a cold sweat. He glared at her, trying to give her another meaningful look, but Long Jiaojiao had no time to exchange glances with him. Before Xuan Yuan Peng could ask any more questions, she blurted out, "This puppet gu really wasn't planted by me, the Holy Maiden. It was Xuan Yuan Yu who secretly used the snow silkworm I left in Dong Chu to plant the gu on you. Actually, it wasn't a snow silkworm at all, but a sub-gu of the puppet gu. He wanted to control you and seize your throne. Now that you've become like this, it's all Xuan Yuan Yu's doing. It has nothing to do with me. You can't blame me for this, and you shouldn't involve Nanjiang!"
Long Jiaojiao is now truly terrified. She doesn't want to, and cannot, implicate the entire Southern Frontier because of her own affairs. Otherwise, she, Long Jiaojiao, will become a sinner in the entire Southern Frontier and be infamous for ten thousand years in the history of the Southern Frontier!
Seeing that Long Jiaojiao was pinning all the blame on him, Xuanyuan Yu became furious and roared, "You witch, how dare you say such things! If you didn't intend to harm Father Emperor, why would you present the Puppet Gu to him as the Snow Silkworm, the most precious treasure of the Southern Frontier! Before you left the capital, you deliberately told me how to plot, and even told me that the Snow Silkworm was the Puppet Gu. If I hadn't been bewitched by you, how could I have thought of using the Puppet Gu to harm Father Emperor!"
This bitch schemed against him back then, and now she's trying to pin everything on him. How could he possibly swallow this insult?
Since he was going to die anyway, he was determined to drag her down with him, because she dared to harm him like that!
Long Jiaojiao laughed in anger: "You still have the nerve to blame this Holy Maiden? If you hadn't harbored the intention to kill your father, murder the emperor, and usurp the throne, how could you have been used by this Holy Maiden!"
Seeing that she kept blaming him, Xuan Yuan Yu was also furious: "You damned witch! You schemed against Father Emperor, and you even schemed against me! You put a puppet curse on me, which has left me with only three days to live! I'll fight you to the death!"
As he spoke, Xuanyuan Yu pounced on Long Jiaojiao and began to fight with him.
Originally, Long Jiaojiao would never have given a second thought to someone like Xuanyuan Yu.
But now she has lost all her martial arts skills and is completely powerless. Even though Xuan Yuan Yu is a dying man, she is unable to withstand him at this moment.
The two quickly began to fight. Xuan Yuan Yu was acting like a madman, and Long Jiao Jiao was clearly no match for him.
Seeing the two of them biting each other like dogs, the ministers who had been clueless before finally understood everything.
It turns out that the Third Prince really did use the puppet poison on the Emperor, and yet he still tried to frame the Holy King. He's really got some nerve! I almost fell for his trick. Luckily, the Emperor is wise!
Xuanyuan Peng glared coldly at the two men locked in combat and roared, "Enough! Quickly drag Long Jiaojiao away and execute him by slow slicing!"
Upon hearing this, the Imperial Guards who had been watching from the sidelines stepped forward again to hold back Long Jiaojiao.
Seeing that Xuan Yuanpeng was determined to kill her, Long Jiaojiao stopped struggling: "This holy maiden can pay with her life, but all of this is because of my infatuation with Xuan Yuanzhan, and has nothing to do with Nanjiang. I hope you can let Nanjiang go."
Xuanyuan Peng glared menacingly at Long Jiaojiao: "You should have considered the Southern Frontier long before you did all these things. Now, it's all over!"
Xuanyuan Peng waved his hand, and the Imperial Guards dragged Long Jiaojiao away.
Soon, Long Jiaojiao's screams rang out from outside.
As soon as Bai Shi and Su Xuening arrived at the entrance of the main hall, they saw Long Jiaojiao being subjected to slow slicing.
While enduring the eunuch's slow torture, Long Jiaojiao looked at Su Xuening, who was still as beautiful as a fairy, not far away: "Su Xuening, in this life, I, the Holy Maiden, cannot compare to you. In the next life, I, the Holy Maiden, will definitely get Xuan Yuanzhan. He will definitely be mine in the next life!"
Su Xuening's eyes twitched, and she was a little angry.
That damned woman, even on her deathbed she's still thinking about another woman's man!
Before Su Xuening could speak, Madam Bai shouted back, "You're dreaming! In the next life, my Zhan'er will still be my Ning'er's. You can never interfere!"
This shameless vixen has ruined Xuanyuan Peng and still has the nerve to covet her Zhan'er. She has no shame at all!
Long Jiaojiao's flesh was scraped off piece by piece, and soon blood flowed all over the ground, and then she fell silent.
Bai Shi and Su Xuening watched as Long Jiaojiao was subjected to the slow slicing punishment and died before turning around and heading towards the main hall.
Upon hearing the shouts from Long Jiaojiao and Bai Shi outside, the ministers in the main hall all turned to look at Xuan Yuanzhan.
The prince is truly charming; even on the verge of death, this vixen is still thinking about him!
The Dowager Consort is quite amusing; she even spoke up for the Holy Princess.
But why did the Dowager Consort come here?
Upon hearing Bai Shi's voice, Xuan Yuanpeng was about to send Zong Jiu outside to check when a eunuch rushed in to report, "Your Majesty, the Holy Princess Dowager and the Holy Princess request an audience."
Xuanyuan Peng immediately raised his chin: "Please come in quickly."
"Yes," the eunuch replied, and soon led Bai Shi and Su Xuening into the main hall.
After entering the hall, the two bowed to Xuanyuan Peng together, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"No need for formalities." Xuanyuan Peng looked at Bai Shi gently: "What business do you have with me?"
Bai glanced at Xuan Yuan Yu, who was slumped on the ground, and said, "Xuan Yuan Yu is not your biological son."
