Chapter 131 The Empress Dowager Forces the Emperor to Abdicate

As soon as Xingzhi stepped out of the brothel, everyone was stunned.

The busy streets were noisy with people talking in small groups of three or five.

He kept walking but listened to their conversation attentively.

"Hey, have you heard? The Empress Dowager is forcing the emperor to abdicate!"

"Ah? How could that be? That's your Majesty's grandmother. Now your Majesty is risking his life to go to the front line to fight the enemy in order to protect us. How can the Empress Dowager take advantage of her..."

"It's true. That's a big commotion. Your Majesty is really pitiful. Close relatives have turned against each other. Your Majesty must have noticed it a long time ago, but he still treated her with filial piety. However, she was unkind and unjust and took the initiative to seize power."

"Your Majesty is both loyal and filial, we will always support you!"

"That's right. Your Majesty is loyal to her people and filial to her loved ones. She has done her utmost."

If Jun Lin had taken the initiative to suppress the Empress Dowager, public opinion would not have been like this.

They might say that Emperor Jing was suspicious by nature and did not even spare his closest relatives. He actually thought that the Empress Dowager wanted to seize power and forcibly imprisoned him. Could such people really lead the Great Jing to a better direction?

Therefore, Jun Lin discussed a countermeasure with Ming He and the others from the beginning, in order to force the Empress Dowager to take action first. In this way, she would have all the advantages, and not only could she quickly seize power, but she would also win the favor of the people.

Now she has done it.

How could the news of forcing abdication spread so quickly?

Isn't this the news she instructed before she left and Yu sent people to spread?

The arc of the line is very small and the corners of the lips are bent.

Unexpectedly, everything was under the control of Emperor Jing.

He felt even happier about this.

Anyone who can defeat him must have such foresight.

The young eunuch's face turned very ugly when he heard these words.

He led Xingzhi and hurried back to the palace.

As soon as he entered the palace, he found something was wrong. There were many strangers in the palace.

Or rather, he is not from Jing country.

He lowered his eyelashes and quickened his pace. It seemed that other forces were involved in this matter.

The palace was in chaos and the shouts of killing could be heard from far away.

The palace maids and eunuchs, who were running away in fear, hid in the house, covering their mouths but still couldn't help sobbing in fear.

Someone's throat was cut and blood splattered on the window.

Someone was pierced in the chest and fell to the ground with his eyes wide open.

The sounds of killing, crying, and hysterical screams, each one pierced Xingzhi's eardrums and made them hurt.

There were many power struggles in various countries, and he had seen many wars, but this kind of bloody suffering made him suffocate and his heart ached no matter how many times he saw it.

The lazy look he always had was long gone, and only a sad and solemn expression remained on the young man's handsome features.

The young eunuch shrank his head in fear until the Empress Dowager's troops came to pick them up, and then he patted his chest and relaxed.

The middle-aged man who led the team looked anxious: "Sir, you are finally here. Our troops are trapped in the formation of Emperor Jing's bedroom and cannot move. Please go and break the formation quickly."

As the middle-aged man approached, a pungent smell of blood hit her face. Xingzhi frowned slightly, and a perfunctory smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Okay, I'll go now."

The sounds of fighting in his ears never faded away, and the cold winter wind would bring the smell of blood to his nose wherever he went.

The young man drooped his eyelids and his eyes were dull and lifeless.

He hated killing.

This winter is very cold. There was a heavy snowfall two days ago. As soon as Emperor Jing left, the Empress Dowager decided to take action. When the troops of all parties were gathered, another blizzard came. After the snow stopped, she finally took action.

Xingzhi staggered to the courtyard of Emperor Jing's bedroom and immediately saw the Empress Dowager standing outside the formation. She was protected by four masked black-clad masters. More than a hundred people were trapped inside the formation and could not move.

They couldn't get out of the formation, and were also blocked by the formation from entering the bedroom. The imperial seal was clearly hidden in the house, but they had no way of getting in, and the group of people were extremely angry.

Emperor Jing is really capable. He found a master at the right time and set up a large formation here.

The door of the bedroom was tightly closed. They knew that Zuo Xiang, You Xiang and Jun Xian were all hiding inside.

The Empress Dowager's face was already in a bad mood because of Cang Qiong's escape, and now she was trapped here and couldn't get out, her face became even darker.

The imperial seal that symbolizes the power of the Jing Kingdom is right in front of her. How could she be willing to stop just one step away?

Seeing Xingzhi coming, she glanced at him unhappily and said, "Break the formation for me."

Xingzhi pretended to observe the formation in front of him carefully, touched his chin with his index finger and said seriously: "This is the Taoist Bagua formation. There is only one way out. We can break it by breaking through the small formation at the water level."

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager curved her lips grimly and said, "Come here, cut him into pieces."

The local soldiers and some martial arts masters behind her attacked fiercely and aimed directly at Xingzhi's vitals. Xingzhi did not have a sword on his waist, but a dagger inlaid with green gems and exquisitely carved slipped out from his wide sleeves.

He was soon at a disadvantage after being surrounded by many people. His robe was torn open for several days. The young man spat out the blood in the sun, and his fox eyes were still smiling: "How did you find me?"

The Empress Dowager made a gesture, and a masked man in black flew forward and began to break the formation in an orderly manner.

Xingzhi was stunned. Could he be a Taoist?

"The Shuikan position is a dead gate. Someone told me long ago that I should do it. I didn't expect you to betray me."

The soldiers were no problem, but the martial arts masters who fought against him forced him to retreat step by step. The warm blood soaked the crescent-shaped robe embroidered with the five elements and eight trigrams. The young man wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with one hand, and said mercilessly: "Hey, you are smart for once."

“Sizzle—”

The sword slashed across his chest, but he was still frightened and managed to dodge it, but a small piece of fabric on his chest was cut off.

The battle-wounded beauty, whose body was covered in wounds and whose clothes were in disarray, now had a completely gloomy face.

The dark eyes were gloomy and cold as if they were quenched with poison, but the words he spoke were gorgeous and tactful: "Hey, hey, hey, your collar can't be closed at all like this. If the little ancestor sees me, I'll be dead."

The young man's muscles were taut, his waist was slightly bent, his eyes were sharp, like a desperate beast that was determined to fight back regardless of its life.

"It's better to die under the sword of my little ancestor than to die here with you."

He is still planning to live well now.

With sudden agility and swiftness, he swung the dagger with murderous intent, cutting the throat of the last man. The large movement caused the wound to hurt continuously, and blood kept flowing out.

The Empress Dowager smiled and waved her hand: "It's the last gasp of a dying force."

As she moved, another horse and man emerged.

Xingzhi gritted his teeth secretly, the taste of blood in his mouth almost drowned him.

This time it's really not good.

"Grand Empress Dowager, the formation has been broken."

As soon as the masked man finished speaking, there was a loud "bang", causing everyone to look up.

The door of the bedroom opened abruptly, and a thin sword flashing with cold light was thrown out at an extremely fast speed. It pierced the masked man's throat in an instant with terrifying speed and took his life.

Another young man seemed to come walking on the wind and moon, he drew back the stiletto neatly and shook off the blood, under his forehead wrapped in a red scarf were eyes as warm and clear as clear water.

Xingzhi complained: "Why did you come just now?"

Yu Yu nodded to him apologetically: "I'm sorry for making you suffer."
