Chapter 181 It is impossible to regret
Xiao Yulan protected the person behind him the moment the guard came in, and Bu Ruo's expression didn't even change.
"Regret? I can't regret it. I'm sure I won't save you. For the rest of your life, you'll just have to fight with the two good sons you painstakingly raised, while... slowly waiting to die in despair."
Hearing Bu Ruo's words, the emperor went crazy: "Okay, okay, since I want to die, then you don't have to live either!"
"Go! Kill the War Prince and his wife. No matter who kills them, I will make him a general."
Xiao Yulan was once a young god of war, and the guards did not dare to act rashly, but under the temptation of interests, other things became less important.
Xiao Yulan stopped his wife who was about to take action behind him: "You are pregnant, so let me handle this matter. I am not so weak that I can't even handle ordinary people."
Seeing this, Bu Ruo had no choice but to nod and sit back in the chair. Xiao Yulan valued Bu Ruo's safety more than anything else and didn't care at all whether his differences would be exposed.
The emperor looked at Xiao Yulan who was just standing there and waved his hand casually... All his secret guards hiding in the dark were waved out of the hall, some through the door, some through the window, and some... from the roof.
The guards who were about to attack were stunned in an instant, no longer showing the attitude of wanting to lose their positions at all.
You have to know that those secret guards are countless times more powerful than them, but the War King... he actually waved his hand and knocked all the secret guards out, unable to get up. All...
"I just saw a flash of light in the hands of the War King. Did you all see it?"
"I see."
"I saw it too. I thought it was just my eyes playing tricks on me..."
"Don't forget, Princess Zhan is the disciple acknowledged by God himself. If the princess can marry King Zhan, then who will King Zhan be his disciple too?"
The emperor looked at the guards who were not moving, listened to their whispers, and stood up from the dragon throne.
"He is just a mortal, just a little more skilled in martial arts. With so many of you coming together, I don't believe we can't kill him!"
"As long as he kills Prince Zhan and his wife, I will not only make him a general, but also reward him with a thousand taels of silver."
Some are afraid of death, while others are not.
"Fortune and honor are sought in danger, go for it!"
If there was a first one, there would be a second one. Xiao Yulan stood there without moving. When the guards' swords were about to hit him, a strong golden light suddenly burst out from his body and knocked everyone away, just like those secret guards just now.
Bu Ruo: Jin Guang? I'm really getting more and more curious about his true identity.
The emperor's face turned pale when he saw with his own eyes how Xiao Yulan beat all the guards away.
"You...you actually have this ability..."
"But if you had this ability, how could you have been poisoned by me in the first place? And how could you have watched me poison my father and force your mother to death without saving them?"
Xiao Yulan turned to look at Bu Ruo: "That's all thanks to you for arranging Ruo'er's marriage to me. This should be the only good thing you have done in your life."
Emperor: No, this is the thing I regret most in my life.
In fact, after Xiao Yulan recovered from the poison in his body, the emperor suspected that it was Bu Ruo who cured him, but he had no evidence and was unwilling to believe it.
"Alright, since my royal brother is alright, I will take Ruo'er back."
"By the way, Ruo'er is pregnant now. If there is nothing else, please don't summon my wife and me to the palace. Otherwise, there will probably be only a few guards left in your palace. It's better for you to keep them by your side and think about what to do if my nephew attacks us in a few days."
Watching the couple leave hand in hand, the emperor was so angry that he spat out blood.
"Useless! All of you are useless! With so many people, you can't even deal with two people. What use do I have to you?"
Eunuch Li knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, please calm down and take care of your health. The War King is not an ordinary person. It is normal that they cannot defeat him. Your Majesty, please do not get angry and harm your health."
The Emperor sat back on the dragon throne and chuckled to himself, "Do I really need to take care of myself in this dilapidated state? I poisoned my father to ascend to the throne, and now... this is retribution."
"But what's going on with Xiao Yulan? Isn't that Bu Ruo, the disciple of God? Why is there a golden light coming from him? How many things are there that I don't know?"
Eunuch Li was afraid that the emperor would get angry if he continued to think about it, so he could only continue to persuade him: "Your Majesty, no matter what the identity of the War King is, they just said that they will not take action for the time being."
"Now the former crown prince is leading his troops to besiege the city, and Prince Su cannot lead his troops to rescue him. You should think about what we should do next."
"How about..." Eunuch Li gritted his teeth, "I'll protect you and find a way to escape from Kyoto first. As long as there is life, there will be no shortage of firewood. We can take the throne back one day."
The Emperor stood up and personally helped Eunuch Li to his feet. "I know you're sincere, but even if I escape, how long can I survive with this poison in my body?"
"I have decided to personally behead that bastard beneath the city walls. Li Defu, you have been by my side since childhood. When the city gates open, you can leave."
"I will give you enough silver to live a prosperous life for the rest of your life."
Eunuch Li knew that the emperor was determined to die. If the emperor won, that would be the best. If the emperor died at the hands of Xiao Jingrui, even if the other party ascended the throne in the future, it would leave a shameful page.
"I will not leave. I will stay with the emperor. If the emperor wants to go to the city gate to take the former prince's head, I will go too."
…
Five days later
"Ruo'er Ruo'er, the emperor has brought all the imperial guards and city defenses in Kyoto to the north gate, as if he wants to fight to the death."
Bu Ruo's eyes lit up: "Where is the prince?"
"The prince is in the study, Ruo'er... come back! You must not go there while you're pregnant. It's too dangerous. Mo Bao has already gone there personally. If there's any news, he'll report it back immediately."
"Oh, Bi'er, Bi'er, please try to persuade her. She can't go."
Bi'er glared at him fiercely: "You knew that the princess had been feeling very anxious in the mansion these past few days, yet you still told her this? How could she not attend such a big event?"
"Even the prince can't change the princess's temper. You'd better hurry and prepare the carriage. It won't be long before the prince will have to accompany the princess to the north gate."
Jin Congcong pouted: "Well, I thought Ruo'er's temper would be gentler after she became pregnant, but I didn't expect her to still be so impatient."
"But it's true. Not to mention Ruo'er, even I want to go and see the emperor fight with the fake son he has carefully raised for twenty years. Who wouldn't want to join in the fun?"
