Nangong Yi couldn't believe it. Right under his nose, his beloved concubine and the queen colluded and instigated the main force guarding the palace to rebel, but he was completely unaware of it.
How ridiculous?
"Someone come and protect me—someone come!"
Nangong Yi shouted at those people at the top of his lungs, but they remained unmoved and looked at him with indifference and disgust.
Only now did Nangong Yi understand what it meant to be deserted by everyone.
"Congratulations, host. The female supporting character's resentment value has been reduced by thirty, now a total of sixty, with forty remaining. Keep up the good work!"
Lan Shuang curled her lips and smiled, "Nangong Yi, don't resist anymore. If you abdicate now, I will leave you with an intact body."
However, Nangong Yi simply couldn't listen. His eyes turned red, and he suddenly snatched the knife from the hand of the secret guard beside him and rushed towards Lan Shuang.
888 was shocked: "Fuck! Is he crazy? How dare he come at you?"
Lan Shuang was disdainful. "Maybe he thinks I'm the leader and a soft persimmon, so he wants to use me to threaten Big Brother and the Imperial Master to find a way out for himself. But don't call him crazy, he's sane."
888 was disgusted and rubbed his arms. "What kind of person is this? He's such a scumbag! Isn't it said that people will have good thoughts and repent before they die? Why is he different?"
Lan Shuang looked at Nangong Yi who was rushing towards her and took a step back. "Xiao Baba, you have to know that there is a difference between scum and dregs. Scum is still a human being, but dregs are not necessarily so."
Jiang Lusheng grabbed her waist and brought her behind him. At the same time, he turned his wrist, snatched Nangong Yi's knife, and with a backhand, cut off Nangong Yi's arm from bottom to top.
It happened so fast that Nangong Yi didn't even feel the pain at first, nor did he feel that his arm was gone, until he noticed that the people around him were looking at him with strange eyes. The pain spread belatedly, and he turned his head to see that his arm was gone, and it fell a few steps away.
Nangong Yi's eyes suddenly widened, and the next moment he opened his mouth and roared crazily, "My hand—my hand! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"
Regardless of whether he could escape or not, he was destined to have no chance of becoming emperor. There had never been a disabled emperor in the history of Daliang. Even if he had a flaw in his appearance, he could not ascend the throne, let alone a broken arm.
Although some ministers wanted to struggle before this, the moment Nangong Yi's arm fell to the ground, this group of people completely gave up and hung their heads in silence.
The Queen stared at Nangong Yi, her face pale. Suddenly, her vision went dark. A warm hand with a faint fragrance covered her eyes. Lan Shuang's gentle voice rang in her ears, "Don't look at it. There's nothing to see. Queen Mother, you should prepare to support the new emperor to ascend the throne."
She didn't know when it started, but Lan Shuang's voice was like a reassurance, making her feel safe and reliable. Her tense body relaxed. She held Lan Shuang's wrist, turned around and looked at her, her expression slightly relieved. "Okay, what are you going to do next?"
Lan Shuang glanced at Nangong Yi, who was knocked unconscious by the uniform, and smiled, "Of course it's to reunite lovers."
…
This farcical palace coup ended in a flash, ending with Nangong Yi's miserable end.
The innocent ministers were released from the palace early in the morning, while the minions related to Nangong Yi were locked up and repeatedly interrogated.
You won’t know the result until you ask. Once you ask, you will be shocked. Nangong Yi has used similar methods to harm many people over the years, and has been involved in a series of unjust cases.
As the incidents were exposed one after another, they immediately aroused the anger of all officials.
No one pleaded for him anymore, and some even hoped that he would be severely punished, wishing he would die right now.
The Queen and Lan Shuang had long since taken a fancy to the grandson of an old prince among the royal family. The child was only five years old. Although young, he was very smart and had a good personality. When the old prince knew that he was going to be adopted by the Queen to be the emperor, he had no objection and was very happy. The two sides hit it off immediately.
So on the day Nangong Yi was imprisoned, the queen ascended the throne with the little emperor.
The coronation ceremony will be held later, and the status will be determined first.
Because the new emperor was young and the empress dowager was in charge of the government, the entire court and harem were actually controlled by the empress dowager.
The first order the Queen Mother issued to the harem was to depose Xiao Feiyan and throw her into prison.
She also specifically instructed that Xiao Feiyan be locked up opposite Nangong Yi, so that the two could face each other but could not touch each other.
Looking at each other's miserable appearance, I wonder what they feel in their hearts.
That night, the prison was dark and the lights were dim.
Nangong Yi's arm had been bandaged, and he couldn't die until the order was given from above.
Nangong Yi had no intention of committing suicide. He sat in the corner of the prison, out of reach of light. At first glance, he looked like a big, dark rat.
The emperor who was once so powerful and influential was no different from an ordinary person once he became a prisoner.
Lan Shuang stood in the corner admiring it for a while before walking closer with a lamp.
"Nangong Yi."
The clear voice echoed in the gloomy cell, like the sound of nature, and also like a beautiful dream.
Nangong Yi raised his head suddenly, and he slowly stood up with one hand on the wall, "Are you here to laugh at me?"
He looked at Lan Shuang greedily. The lamp in her hand was so bright that it illuminated her pale blue skirt and reflected a large field of lotus flowers emerging from the water.
She was so delicate and clean, so exquisite, and totally out of place in the entire prison. I really wanted to have someone drag her down with me and into the mud.
"What else? Am I here to see your broken arm?" As soon as Lan Shuang opened her mouth, she knew whether it was there or not, and she poked wherever it hurt.
Nangong Yi's face twisted instantly.
"Lan Shuang!"
He lunged at me, slamming me against the railings, and said viciously, "Apart from drugging you, I thought I'd treated you well. Don't you even want to leave me with a single good thought before you leave?"
"Leave it to you? Are you worthy of it?" Lan Shuang looked at him calmly. The sound of dragging shackles came from the cell opposite.
She turned around and saw Xiao Feiyan had also come, staring at her like a ghost.
Lan Shuang didn't care. "You treat me well because you want to use me as a target to shield Xiao Feiyan from the bullets. So don't be so moved by me and press my head to make me feel moved too."
"From the beginning to the end, your kindness to me was all for a purpose. What qualifications do you have to question me here?"
Nangong Yi met her sharp eyes and couldn't help feeling guilty.
Xiao Feiyan sneered, "Nangong Yi, this is what you did well. This is the person you like. You are really blind."
"Of course he's blind, otherwise why would he fall for you?" Lan Shuang glanced at her and smiled, "You're not a good person either, so stop fighting like dogs here. I'm allergic to dog hair."
"Pfft—" 888 couldn't help laughing out loud, "Sorry, host, please keep going, hahahahahaha—you have a really venomous mouth, but I really feel good!"
Xiao Feiyan was furious, "You——"
Lan Shuang didn't even give her a glance. Instead, she looked at Nangong Yi and whispered, "Nangong Yi, everything that happened today is your own fault. You deserved to die, but I thought it would be better for you to die, so I discussed it with the Queen Mother and decided to lock you up secretly so that you can spend the rest of your lives together and watch others live happily."
