"No more. This is all I know. In addition, I want to say that the tragedy of Zhang San's family and Wenjin Academy were all planned by King Jin. He ordered me to do it in order to frame the second in command of the Lei family, just to avenge Miss Gu." Tang Yu finally told the truth.
"Why didn't you say it before? Why are you saying it now?" Emperor Wenxuan narrowed his eyes and stared at him.
"I just learned today that my son is dead, murdered by them. They wanted to kill not only me, but my entire family. I loyally took the blame for all the crimes for him, but he treated me like this. I hate him for not keeping his word. This is the proof."
Tang Yu exposed his neck, and the previous red marks had turned into bruises.
Emperor Wenxuan didn't know what he was thinking, and Tang Yu knelt below him, not daring to speak.
"Those who slander the prince and the king should be executed according to the law. Drag him out." Emperor Wenxuan ordered coldly.
Tang Yu was dumbfounded.
Prime Minister Zhou understood Emperor Wenxuan's intention. This was to paralyze the people outside so that they would not take desperate measures.
They had no idea what arrangements the Fourth Prince and Prince Jin had made, or how many people they had secretly trained.
"Your Majesty, everything I said is true."
The guards dragged him out.
As soon as he was dragged out the door, there was a loud thunder outside.
"I am innocent, innocent. Your Majesty..." Tang Yu howled outside.
Just as they dragged him to the square, Tang Yu suddenly broke free from the guards' control.
Immediately, there was a sound of fighting outside.
Emperor Wenxuan, Prime Minister Zhou, and General of the Cavalry walked out of the imperial study and saw Tang Yu holding Concubine Xiao hostage.
After hearing the message from her son, Concubine Xiao came to inquire about the news, but she didn't know that a man suddenly rushed out and took her hostage.
The guards surrounded him.
Concubine Xiao stood in the rain in horror.
Prime Minister Zhou frowned, "What are you going to do? Release the Imperial Concubine immediately. If you do this, your entire family will be implicated."
"I have nothing now. My entire clan? Where can I get my entire clan? I just want to clear my name and get the punishment the wicked deserve. Why, why is it so difficult?" Tang Yu looked at Emperor Wenxuan with red eyes.
"Your Majesty, you are the ruler of the Southern Tang Kingdom. If you do not redress my grievances, I will have nowhere else to turn."
"Release the imperial concubine." Emperor Wenxuan said.
Tang Yu shook his head. "If I let her go, I'll die and bear the infamy. I just want justice, as long as the emperor agrees."
The General of Chariots and Cavalry shouted angrily, "How dare you threaten the Emperor!"
Tang Yu ignored him and continued to speak to Emperor Wenxuan, "Your Majesty, I swear to heaven. Every word I said in the study just now was true. If I lied even a little, I will be struck by lightning."
Just at this moment, a bolt of lightning struck down and directly knocked down the flagpole not far from him, but he and Concubine Xiao were safe and sound.
Concubine Xiao was really scared and wanted to faint, but she forced herself not to.
"Did you see it? Did you all see it? Even God knows I'm not lying. Everything I said is true. I didn't lie."
All the guards and eunuchs in the palace saw it clearly and were deeply shocked. With the divine instruction, everyone present believed his words.
