Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Pei Lu was staying in the imperial study, and in a trance he saw many people rushing towards him with swords.
He violently swept the things on the table to the ground, and the inkstone hit the ground with a heavy sound.
His eyes were bloodshot, and at that moment a eunuch came in and served him tea.
Pei Lu rubbed his eyebrows, but when he opened his eyes, he saw that the eunuch who had just served him tea had a dagger hidden in his sleeve.
Pei Lu felt like he was going crazy!
He pushed the man against the wall and pinched the eunuch's neck fiercely, "Why, even you want to kill me?!"
His face suddenly changed, he clenched his teeth, and his whole body was filled with anger. Then he laughed crazily, and the strength in his hands became stronger and stronger.
"You all want to harm me, don't you?! I am the Son of Heaven! Anyone who wants to harm me, kill me!"
The eunuch struggled a few times and pounded the ground with his feet. Pei Lu pinched him so hard that he rolled his eyes. Finally, his neck twisted and he became motionless.
Pei Lu then lifted up his sleeve, trying to find the dagger he had just seen.
It’s a pity that the eunuch had nothing in his sleeves!
"No?!"
“How could there not be!?”
"I clearly saw it! I clearly saw it!!"
He looked at his hands tremblingly. No... How could he become like this? !
He must be a good emperor and not kill innocent people! !
No! It couldn't have been him who just killed someone. It couldn't have been him!
No...he is the emperor!
He should do whatever he wants!
The sound of footsteps came from far away, and the footsteps were a little hurried.
"Oh no! Your Majesty! Prime Minister Lin and the Prime Minister are breaking in with their men!!"
The eunuch was probably too anxious, and he broke into the room before Pei Lu even responded to him.
Just one glance and he was stunned. Pei Lu sat on the ground, looking at his hands in confusion and trembling.
Next to him was a corpse.
Pei Lu narrowed his eyes, "Get out of here! Did I let you in?!"
The eunuch knelt on the ground and shouted in a shrill voice: "Your Majesty! Prime Minister Lin and the Prime Minister have barged in!"
Pei Lu angrily shook his sleeves: "Just barge in! You keep shouting about clearing out the imperial court! If you have the guts, then destroy the General's Mansion first! Don't bother me!"
The eunuch visibly flinched, lowered his head, and spoke in a weak voice, "But...but Prime Minister Lin and the Prime Minister said that you favored concubines over your wives and murdered loyal ministers. They want to...to overthrow your imperial power..."
The eunuch was sweating profusely on his head, and there were many footsteps coming from behind him. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked at Pei Lu again, and decided to run away first!
Pei Lu then raised his head and saw Li Xiao rushing in aggressively with a sword in his hand.
More and more people approached, and without exception, they all had weapons in their hands.
This moment seemed to overlap with the nightmares he had been having in recent days.
Is he...is he dreaming, or is this real?!
"Your Majesty has sat on the throne for three years. You can't distinguish right from wrong, you persecute loyal ministers, and you favor concubines over your wives. It's time to give up your position!"
Li Xiao's eyes were dark and he spoke without any emotion.
Pei Lu was originally sitting on the ground. He subconsciously took a few steps back and was forced into a corner with no way to retreat.
"I, I am the Son of Heaven! Li Xiao, you are a traitor! I will kill all your clans!"
Pei Lu was afraid when facing so many people, but the East Factory was on his side. Gu Yunchu loved him to death, and the General's Mansion would not ignore him!
A group of civil servants want to strip him of his imperial power. How ridiculous!
He quickly took out the whistle he had been wearing on his chest these days and blew it hard.
A group of men in purple clothes stood in front of him.
Pei Lu felt somewhat relieved. Perhaps the dream he had a few days ago was to remind him to be careful. He was therefore careful to carry the whistle given to him by Wen Zhiyu with him.
He stood up, straightened his clothes, and smiled a sarcastic, cold smile, "Kill them for me!"
At his command, the group of people in purple started to fight with the people brought by Li Xiao. Seeing this, Pei Lu hurriedly ran out. He didn't know how long the people from the East Factory could hold out. The most urgent thing was to take Gu Yunchu out of the palace to find the general's mansion.
When we arrived at the harem, the palace maids and concubines had already started to flee with their bags. Only the Jinhua Palace was eerily quiet.
He collected his emotions, pretended to be affectionate, and rushed in, "Chu'er! Come with me! Li Xiao has broken in with his men! He's trying to force me to purge the emperor's court, and if I refuse, he'll seize the throne!"
Gu Yunchu lay there quietly, putting grapes into his mouth one by one. When he heard Pei Lu's words, he just found it a little funny.
When death is imminent, do you still have time to create a character for yourself?
"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that Concubine An will get jealous and angry when you come to my place?"
She stared at him with a forced smile that made Pei Lu feel uneasy.
She raised her hand, and a long sword appeared in her palm. She kept wiping it with her handkerchief, just like a female general who was about to go to the battlefield and was honing the tacit understanding between herself and her beloved sword.
"Chu'er, how could that be? I was the bastard before. I only loved you!"
He walked forward a few steps and grabbed her clothes. His affectionate look made Gu Yunchu feel nauseous!
"Okay, then Your Majesty must keep your word~"
She seemed to have regained her gentle appearance in front of Pei Lu. Pei Lu was delighted. He knew that even if Gu Yunchu had a conflict with him, she still loved him and only him. He coaxed her with just a few words.
"Your Majesty, please follow me. There is a secret passage here."
She stretched out her hand to Pei Lu, and Pei Lu followed her without even thinking.
The two came to a table, and Gu Yunchu pointed at it: "Your Majesty, please move it away. The secret passage is inside. I can't move it, and I want to save some energy."
Pei Lu hurried to move the table, "How heavy can a table be? Chu'er wants to save..."
“Puff—”
The long sword pierced Pei Lu's flesh, and he looked in disbelief at the sword that pierced his chest from behind.
Gu Yunchu then smiled sweetly, saying in a vicious tone, "Of course, I'm saving my energy so I can have enough strength to stab you with a knife! My Majesty~"
She bent down slightly and saw the expression of disbelief on Pei Lu's face. She frowned and pulled the sword out of his body again.
Blood gushed out, splashing onto the ground, the walls, and everywhere.
"Oh, your majesty's expression is truly brilliant. Shock, fear, reluctance... well, it's perfectly expressed~"
She circled around Pei Lu, holding his chin with her sword so that he could see the expression on her face clearly.
"Your Majesty, you don't think that I am still completely devoted to you even though I have seen through your plan, do you?"
"Guess where the soldiers from, Li Xiao and Prime Minister Lin, were able to lead their troops here?"
Of course they are the ones who take care of the family!
"Let me think, what else can you rely on, the East Factory? Wen Zhiyu?"
