Before Zheng Yingqin fainted, she kept dragging her blood-stained body toward Si Jin.
"Young Master, he's trying to kill the Empress! Please, Young Master, for the sake of the Empress, she is your mother..."
Remembering the Empress Dowager's admonition, Zheng Yingqin gritted her teeth and swallowed back the words she was about to say: "For the sake of how well His Majesty has treated you over the years... please save His Majesty, please save His Majesty!"
Just by looking at Zheng Yingqin, one could tell how critical the situation in the palace was.
Si Jin asked Xiao Yao to check the system. Shen Zhiyu's luck value was only 10% left and could be reset to zero at any time.
So, they resorted to desperate measures.
Si Jin immediately pulled Mo Qi up: "Steward, take care of Eunuch Zheng. You come with me to the palace immediately."
After saying that, she tugged at Sheng Linyuan: "You..."
“I know. I will summon all civil and military officials to go and see.”
Si Jin nodded, and the group immediately split up and went their separate ways.
Sheng Linyuan's black cloak was still draped over his body, swaying lightly with his steps, exuding an imperial aura and unparalleled elegance.
Before Zheng Yingqin fainted, she quietly gazed at Si Jin, tears slowly sliding down her cheeks.
This is what an emperor should be like.
Even without returning to the palace to acknowledge his relatives, he could still rise to the position of Duke by passing the martial arts examination, going to the battlefield, and achieving the rank of martial arts champion.
Yet, because of someone like Shen Zhiyu, he has been overlooked for so many years.
… …
Si Jin found the carriage too slow, so as soon as she got in, she knocked Mo Qi unconscious and used her divine power to go directly to Renshou Palace.
As soon as he arrived, the guards around him hurriedly surrounded him.
Before Si Jin could even lift a finger, Mo Qi drew her sword, slit the throats of several guards, and stormed into the hall.
At this moment, there was chaos inside. Shen Zhiyu failed to receive the medicine, her arm was scratched several times by the Empress Dowager, and her neck was pierced by the fake nails worn by the Empress Dowager.
Blood was flowing freely, and he cowered, clutching his neck and crying loudly.
"I'm going to die! I don't want to die! I am the emperor, the chosen one! How dare you kill me?! Waaaaah~"
Not to mention Si Jin, even the Heavenly Emperor was amused by his cowardly and stupid appearance, and hid in the system pinching his brow.
He had originally intended to offer some words of advice, but upon seeing Si Jin arrive, he completely lost his patience.
It's all Si Jin's fault. Si Jin ruined him into this inhuman, ghost-like state.
Since he was going to be completely destroyed in this world anyway, he might as well... fight to the death!
Thinking this, he used the remaining 10% of his soul to control Shen Zhiyu and start fighting with Si Jin.
The two divine powers clashed incessantly, scattering the snow, uprooting the withered grass, and even turning the palace tiles into scorched earth, which slowly fell down.
The young god looked relaxed, his eyes full of interest, calmly receiving one powerful blow after another from his opponent.
Old Heavenly Lord gradually lost his strength and was kicked three meters down from the sky by Si Jin, landing in the mud.
He gritted his teeth and struggled desperately, but soon he heard a flurry of footsteps.
Seeing the Imperial Guards and civil and military officials running towards them from not far away, hope was rekindled: "Quickly! Imperial Guards! Mu Sijin is plotting a rebellion! Kill him immediately!"
He shouted, his widening smile gradually turning vicious.
That's great. Now there's no need to go to the trouble of finding fault with Mu Sijin.
The crime of assaulting the emperor and deceiving the emperor alone was enough to cost him his life!
He is the emperor, and these corrupt officials will surely stand on his side.
"You all saw how outrageous he was, didn't you? He killed Mu Sijin! A traitorous villain, everyone has the right to kill him!"
Before the Hall of Benevolence and Longevity, the officials stopped, not yet realizing what was happening, when the Imperial Guards instinctively drew their swords to protect the emperor.
But in the next instant, Si Jin lightly stomped her foot, and divine power spread out from all directions, scattering all the Imperial Guards who had surrounded her.
However, the fiercer Si Jin became, the more excited the Heavenly Lord became: "Look! It's turned against us!"
He shouted, "Mu Sijin has murdered the emperor and rebelled! Kill him immediately..."
However, the next moment, Si Jin reached out and grabbed his throat, slowly lifting him up.
His beautiful, affectionate eyes reddened with excitement, and he smiled as always.
"Your Majesty! Why do you intend to rebel?"
