Chapter 225 Don’t Be Shameless
Everyone else in the palace stepped aside, as they knew their master's strength.
The others fought bravely. After all, there were a lot of rats coming, and they were not from the same group.
Tang Jinzhou curled his lips and smiled in a particularly evil and charming way, and that smile was particularly creepy.
"Princess Zhan, it's been a long time since we last met. I really missed you. How come you've gained weight after not seeing you for so long?
But her charm remains the same, and she is indeed more beautiful than all the beauties in Kyoto.
Beauty, why don't you just follow me instead of following such a cold and boring person."
"How boring! Follow me and I promise to make sure you have delicious food and drinks."
Nangong Xue turned her wrist, and a pistol suddenly appeared in her hand, and she fired several shots.
Tang Jinzhou narrowly avoided it, only to have a few strands of his hair wiped off and his face scratched.
Fortunately, he had excellent martial arts skills and dodged quickly, otherwise he would have died here at this moment.
Tang Jinzhou gritted his teeth and spoke word by word.
"Princess Zhan, please don't be shameless. I give you a chance because I think highly of you.
If you don't seize this opportunity, you will regret it. Who would want you as a married woman? "
"I'm the only one who's forgiven. You should be grateful. To show your sincerity, you should hand over your weapons."
Bang bang.
Nangong Xue fired two more shots, and this time Tang Jinzhou was hit deeply in the thigh.
He didn't expect Nangong Xue to be so heartless, and her movements were so fast that he couldn't even dodge.
Dongfang Chen was fighting while observing the situation here.
Lu Beichuan: "War King is fighting me, and you're distracted. If that's the case, don't blame me for being merciless.
Since I have accepted the task from my employer, I must carry it out to the end, so I will fight you to the death.
Don't blame me, it's because you blocked someone's way that you had to die."
Dongfang Chen: "You are so arrogant! Just use whatever skills you have. I can make you die knowingly."
It was obvious that Lu Beichuan was no match for Dongfang Chen. Even if he used all his strength, he could only hold on for another half a minute.
Just like that, Lu Beichuan was stabbed in the neck by Dongfang Chen.
"Humph, it's really a bargain for you to just let you die like this. If it weren't for the wrong timing, I should have cut off your flesh piece by piece and fed it to the dogs.
If you dared to attack my princess, you should have died long ago. You should be thankful that you have lived this long."
Nangong Xue also defeated Tang Jinzhou. Tang Jinzhou didn't know until his death that Nangong Xue could be poisonous, and it was a deadly poison that would kill instantly upon contact with blood.
Even the master was dead, so the remaining ones were not a big deal. Nangong Xue took out the poison and scattered it out.
They fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, without even a chance to kick.
Dongfang Chen immediately ordered people to clean up the battlefield so as not to let the princess see this bloody scene.
The Fourth Prince did not receive the message and paced back and forth in the room.
These people are all top killers. It is impossible that they have not completed the mission after so long.
Something happened, something must have happened.
Nan Yuetian immediately came up with an idea.
“Your Highness, we need to act in advance. It seems the other party has also made preparations.
If we act now, there might still be a glimmer of hope.
If the War King is free, our chances of winning will be slim."
The Fourth Prince was like a furious lion at this moment.
"Military Advisor, you are only boosting others' morale and destroying your own prestige.
Judging from your tone, you are saying that this prince is not as powerful as Dongfang Chen, right?"
Nan Yuetian: "Fourth Prince, how can you think like that? Now is not the time for us to argue.
What we have to do is to take that position and hold the power in our own hands.
When you ascend to that position, it will be up to you to decide how to deal with the War King and what charges you want to bring against him."
“Besides, we are just speculating now, and the Battle Palace is simply a drop in the bucket.
There are only a few of us. We have made two preparations, but we don't believe that we can't deal with a few isolated people.
Not to mention the insider news that there is a pregnant woman."
"As long as the other party is not stupid, they can use this opportunity to make the War King surrender. Isn't it rumored that the War King particularly cares about this War King Concubine?
Princess Zhan’s current status is not ordinary, and the emperor of this court has issued an imperial decree to announce it to the world.
Princess Zhan is now a first-rank princess of Northern Yan. If anything happens to her, Prince Zhan will be in big trouble."
"I just don't know what went wrong. Why haven't these people come back yet?"
The Fourth Prince snorted coldly.
He smashed the teacup in his hand and said, "What else could it be? Because they are incompetent. Aren't they just bragging about how great they are?
Why can't we just ask them to assassinate the War King now?"
"Damn it, damn it all! Anyone who stands in my way deserves to die," the Fourth Prince was almost going crazy.
But if that's the case, then you can't blame him.
He planned to prepare a surprise for everyone early tomorrow morning, which was to have his father write an edict of succession.
He was crowned emperor, and by the time the others rushed back, he had already become the supreme king.
Ha ha ha ha!
When the Fourth Prince thought of such a scene, he laughed madly.
The saying "To serve the king is like serving a tiger" is indeed true.
The others stayed away, as they always felt that there was something wrong with the Fourth Prince.
Power is really harmful. Everyone wants to be in your position. To get that position, they are willing to sell out their brothers and plot against their own father.
They don't care about any of these, what they care about is whether they can sit in that position.
This night was destined to be a sleepless night because everyone knew that things were going to change.
Today's morning court session was unusual. Why were all the guards outside replaced? What on earth was going on?
Some smart people smelled a conspiracy.
But they will never take sides easily until the last moment.
Some people are royalists, and they stand on the side of whoever is the emperor.
Others stood on the side of Prince Zhan, believing that as the emperor's legitimate son and the empress's son, Prince Zhan should sit in that position.
As for the others, some are fence-sitters, while others have already taken sides.
The emperor was helped into a wheelchair by the eunuchs, but everyone kept their heads down and did not look up to see the emperor.
If you see it, you will definitely be shocked. The emperor is now so thin that he is almost skin and bones.
He aged very quickly, his hair turned a lot whiter, he looked very haggard, and his eye sockets were sunken.
His lips were blue and purple, a clear sign of poisoning. All the eunuchs in the palace were placed under house arrest and threatened.
If they dare to treat the emperor, he and their families will have no chance of survival.
No one would joke with their own life, so everyone was trembling with fear.
The Fourth Prince stood beside the Emperor, and his outfit today was truly unprecedented.
This is the court dress that the emperor usually wears. Some timid people were suddenly frightened and fell to their knees.
The Fourth Prince is about to rebel, but the Emperor is still alive and well, and the Fourth Prince is cursing the Emperor.
Tutor Song was the first to step forward.
"Fourth Prince, you'd better give everyone an explanation. What exactly is going on?
If you can't explain clearly, this Grand Tutor will punish you, the unfilial son, on behalf of the Emperor."
The fourth prince smiled evilly and became particularly feminine.
"Old man, what ability do you have? What qualifications do you have to deal with me?
First of all, I am the king and you are the minister. You are trying to rebel openly.
No wonder you recruit scholars from all over the world, it turns out you have been prepared for this a long time ago."
"You are so shameless, you are so shameless, old man."
Master Song was insulted by a junior in such a way that he covered his chest and almost couldn't breathe.
"Your Majesty, listen to how the Fourth Prince slanders this old minister. He hasn't even taken that position yet. Is he trying to exclude dissidents?
Your Majesty, even though I have no merit, I have worked hard. You must make the decision for me."
Emperor Nanyue was so angry that his hands were shaking. He hadn't died yet, but this rebellious son was so impatient.
"He is rebelling, rebelling," the queen received the hint from her father and immediately stood up.
"Fourth Prince, although you are not my daughter, you should still respectfully address me as Mother.
Are you planning to rebel openly by doing this? Do you take the emperor seriously? "
"You don't care about the common people of the world. Are you going to cause great suffering and displace the people of the world?"
"Queen, how did you get this position? You should know it very well.
Don't preach in front of this prince, you are not worthy.
If you dare to bully me again, I will kill you with a single blow. You can then go down and accompany the late queen."
"Let's see if you two are sisters with a strong bond, or if you'll fight to the death in the underworld."
"You,...you are so presumptuous, you just say that to me."
"You'll know in a moment whether I'm unbridled or not."
Song Chuhuai stood in front, crossed his arms and squinted his eyes.
All of this was part of their plan. They just wanted the Fourth Prince to fight in the front to see how these people would stand.
I believe that the Song family will achieve ultimate victory.
The War King's people had received the news long ago and did not act rashly. If they had not received the news, they might have stood up and argued.
No matter what, it will never be the Fourth Prince's turn to sit in this position.
Since ancient times, there has been an order of seniority. Only when the direct descendant passes away or the person is physically disabled can one be selected from other people.
The War King is now alive and well, and his abilities, talents, and looks are far ahead of others.
He, the fourth prince, is really unworthy of this. It’s like a weasel paying a New Year’s visit to a chicken.
Soon a group of people armed with weapons rushed in. The Fourth Prince laughed when he saw his men coming.
“This prince’s men have arrived, and all of you must submit to him.
Moreover, my father has already given me the imperial edict to pass on the throne, so I am the rightful emperor.
Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed without mercy."
There were a few officials who held lower positions but were relatively upright, and they were killed just like that.
The fourth prince just wanted to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys. The other princes, concubines, and princesses had already been controlled by him.
He would never let anyone ruin his plan. The War King has not appeared yet, so he must be dying.
This is really great news, so God is on his side.
"Any of you who object, please stand up to me, and I will give you a chance to succeed.
If you don't stand up now, it means that you have tacitly agreed to this prince's decision.
Anyone who dares to say another word will die."
The Fourth Prince gave a look to the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch took out the imperial edict and began to read it.
But no one knelt down, and the Fourth Prince was furious.
"Get moving, all of you, get moving, pin these damned people to the ground.
I want them to know the consequences of disobeying me.
But no one moved. Are you deaf or don't you understand?"
"This prince asked you to fight, do you also want to go against this prince?"
At this time, Dongfang Chen walked in with his men.
Dongfang Chen was not wearing armor because he was wearing a bulletproof vest underneath.
This is more convenient and easier to use than that armor. The armor is too heavy and it hinders movement.
Don’t be fooled by the thinness and lightness of this bulletproof vest, it is more effective than that armor.
Oh, why is it so lively here? Since it's so lively, I came to take a look.
An San was particularly servile and brought out a chair for his master.
Although An San is usually naughty and playful, he is particularly good in this aspect and has the most flexible brain.
Dongfang Chen sat on the chair, leaning against the left side of his back and stretching out his long legs.
Suddenly he started playing with his fingers. Well, his own hands were so rough that it was not fun at all. The princess's hands were more fun. They were white, tender, thin and smooth, and felt especially good.
The other people in the court looked at King Zhan as if they had seen a ghost.
Isn't the War King far away at the border? When did he get him back? Someone must have been impersonating him.
However, this person's aura is too strong and is definitely not fake.
The Minister of Justice, the Grand Secretary, the Chief Justice, and the Left Prime Minister suddenly knelt on the ground.
"Welcome to the War King. May the War King live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand thousand years."
"Please stand up."
"Thank you, King Zhan."
When the four emperors saw the War King appear, still intact, they immediately accused him of treason.
"Prince Zhan, are you planning a rebellion? If you return to the capital without the imperial decree, you will be beheaded.
Also, what exactly do you want to do by bringing so many people to the temple? Have you been waiting for this day for a long time?
Also, how could you resolve the border war so easily? Have you discussed this with others?
"Zhan Wang, how can you be so evil? You are using the lives of the people to trade with the enemy."
"Tell me, what benefits did you promise the enemy so that they would withdraw?
If you don’t explain yourself clearly today, you won’t be able to leave here.”
Some of those who had been dealt with by the War King before held a grudge and immediately stood up.
"Prince Zhan, is what the Fourth Prince said true? Did you really agree to the enemy's humiliating conditions?
Are you worthy of Long Yuan's ancestors by doing this? Are you worthy of the emperor?
Aren't you afraid that the people of the world will poke your spine? You are selling out your country, do you know that?"
Dongfang Chen didn't say anything. He wanted to see how many people would jump out. He just wanted to take this opportunity to clean out the termites.
After all, only at this time can people express their true selves.
Even those who had come to rely on him in the past might not be trustworthy. This was the lesson the princess taught him.
The princess said, there are no lifelong friends, nor lifelong enemies, it all depends on whether you can provide enough benefits and whether others can benefit from you.
If you can't give others guarantees, why would they work hard for you?
You don't blame others for betraying you, for example, you pay them 10 taels of silver a month.
If he does the same thing for someone else, he can get 100 taels. What do you think he will choose?
So this is the lack of benefits.
