The emperor didn't expect Lan Shuang, a weak woman, to be so strong. She kicked him so hard that he fell to the foot of the couch and couldn't get up. He held the edge of the bed with one hand and tried to stand up. Li Jian saw this and shouted at the top of his voice: "Help! Help! The Ming King is rebelling——"
Lan Shuang glanced at him, crossed her arms, and tilted her head: "Go ahead and scream, it's no use even if you scream your throat out."
Li Jian's eyes widened as he saw Lan Shuang about to go to the bed. After hesitating for a moment, he rushed over to block the emperor, "Your Majesty, be careful!"
The emperor rolled his eyes and said, "You blocked me, how can I run away, you idiot!"
Ming Wang turned over and sat up from the bed, his clothes wide open, revealing a large smooth chest. There was not a single needle on it, and no one knew when they had been removed.
"Brother, what are you afraid of? I'm already a cripple, why are you still so afraid of me?"
He said this with a double meaning, his eyes gloomy but with a strange brilliance.
"You...what do you want to do? Old Nine, I've treated you well, and you feigned illness to lure me here. Do you want to kill me and usurp the throne?"
He shouted in a timid manner, but his wandering eyes revealed his guilty conscience.
Lan Shuang clapped her hands and laughed, "Even when death is imminent, the Emperor still remembers to act out the scene of deep brotherly love. How dedicated he is."
888 nodded in agreement. "Yeah, she's on par with that bad movie queen in the palace. She could form a group and debut."
Lan Shuang became interested: "Oh? What combination?"
888 said seriously: "Let's see who is worse."
Lan Shuang laughed again, earning a cold look from the emperor. She shrugged and said to 888, "Okay, don't interrupt, otherwise it will easily ruin the atmosphere. Just watch the show carefully from now on."
"Okay." 888 made a zipper gesture on his mouth.
"How dare you! You have no right to speak here? You ignorant woman! You only know how to gossip!"
The emperor did not dare to get too angry with Ming Wang, and was still on the verge of testing him, so he took out his anger on Lan Shuang, who seemed to be a soft persimmon, completely forgetting who kicked him and made him unable to straighten his back.
Prince Ming's face suddenly turned cold. Without waiting for Lan Shuang to do anything, he grabbed the emperor's neck and lifted him up from the ground with one hand.
Her voice was as cold as the December wind. "It's not your turn to lecture my princess. How dare you criticize her?"
The feeling of suffocation continued to intensify, the emperor's face turned red, and he tried to pry Ming Wang's hands apart with both hands, but Ming Wang's hands were as motionless as iron clamps.
"You...you...cough cough cough-ugh!"
The pressure on his neck made the emperor feel nauseous and he couldn't help wanting to vomit.
Ming Wang's eyes flashed, and he threw him out in disgust.
"Bang--"
"ah!"
"emperor!"
The big lump was not only swung out by Ming Wang with one hand, but also knocked down the screen outside. It rolled on the ground twice before stopping. Its head accidentally hit the corner of a cabinet, making a hole. Blood gushed out and covered his face.
Li Jian was so frightened that he lost his soul. He ran over with his hands and feet bent over. He was so anxious that he couldn't even straighten his back.
Lan Shuang frowned and stepped aside. What kind of weirdo is this?
Ming Wang stood up from the bed and walked barefoot to Lan Shuang's side. Lan Shuang glanced at him sideways and shook his hand: "Go."
Ming Wang nodded slightly and said, "Stand far away for a while, so as not to get splashed with blood. It's dirty."
Lan Shuang smiled: "Yeah."
Ming Wang walked step by step to the emperor. Li Jian was so scared that he trembled like a sieve. He grabbed the emperor's arm and dragged him out.
"Your Majesty, I will take you out right now. Just hold on!"
The emperor covered his forehead, his face pale with pain. He stared at the Ming King intently, and finally couldn't pretend anymore, revealing his vicious nature. "It's true that the barking dog bites. You have been hiding your strength for so many years. You are really patient!"
"Same here. You hate me to the core, but you've endured all these years without killing me, haven't you? Do you regret it now?"
There was a faint smile on Ming Wang's lips.
"Yes, I regret it. If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have pleaded for you in front of the emperor. It would have been best if he had finished you off with a glass of poisoned wine!"
He pinched Li Jian's arm and barely stood up. Li Jian's facial features were distorted with pain, but he didn't dare to say a word.
As the emperor spoke, he moved towards the door and stared at Prince Ming vigilantly, but Prince Ming and Lan Shuang just looked at them leisurely, with no intention of stopping them at all.
This made them feel insulted, as if they were just two playthings.
Li Jian touched the door and was delighted. Before Prince Ming came over, he quickly opened the door and shouted, "Your Majesty, please leave!"
The emperor reacted quickly at this time and ran out without hesitation. However, just as he took a step, a sword was pressed against his brow. The sword was shining coldly, and without any force, a long and thin cut was made on his forehead.
A line of blood meandered down the bridge of his nose, looking quite funny.
He squinted his eyes together as he stared at the sword, his eyes becoming cross-eyed. The sword wielder couldn't help but laugh. "Your Majesty, where else do you want to go? Do you want someone to save you?"
He pressed forward step by step, and the emperor retreated step by step in fear and returned to his bedroom.
Through the gap between Yu Xiao's figure, the emperor saw people lying on the ground outside. There were only a few guards left. The yard was full of soldiers and armor, and all those standing there were Ming Wang's men.
The emperor's heart skipped a beat at that moment, his vision went dark, and he thought it was all over.
My life is over!
The emperor let out a long breath.
Yu Xiao put away his sword and saluted respectfully towards Prince Ming and Lan Shuang: "Your Majesty, Princess, there are 130 people inside and outside the palace, 45 of them have died, and the rest have surrendered."
"Surrender? How can you surrender? How can you surrender!"
The emperor had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat and his eyes turned red with anger.
Yu Xiao glanced at him and said, "The army is entering the city. If you don't surrender, you will be killed."
emperor:"……"
Li Jian's legs went limp with fear, and he slid down the door panel. "It's over..."
Prince Ming finally spoke up: "You just said that you shouldn't have pleaded for me back then. Haha—even at this point, you're still trying to be stubborn. Do you think I don't know that my mother's unjust case was orchestrated by you?"
The King of Ming grabbed the emperor's collar and slammed him against the door. The emperor cried out in pain, gasping for breath.
"How do you know? When did you know?"
"I knew it from the day you poisoned me."
King Ming lowered his eyes and glanced at his legs. "You weren't able to kill me on the battlefield, only crippled my legs. Unwilling to accept this, you used this opportunity to plead for mercy to demonstrate your magnanimity and kindness, to make the late emperor believe that you and I were truly brothers. Then you took this opportunity to tamper with my medicine, hiding poison in the herbs you sent me."
The King of Ming remembered every detail clearly. "Brother, do you really think I'm stupid?"
"I'm no longer lame. I've just been waiting for the right opportunity all these years. Now that everything is ready and you've come to me personally, how can I repay you?"
