Chapter 206 Defection
"Empress."
Xu Zhen knelt on one knee and looked at Shen Ruyu devoutly.
The emperor almost lost his breath when he saw this. He staggered back two steps and pointed at Xu Zhen, so angry that he couldn't speak clearly, "Xu Zhen you..."
"When did you have an affair with this woman!" He cursed.
Xu Zhen glanced at him coldly with a hard face, "It's better to follow the Empress than to follow you, a dog emperor. You even treat your first wife like this. You pretend to be affectionate all day long, but in fact your affection is cheaper than grass!"
"You act recklessly, listen to slander, and harm loyal people. The country will be lost in your hands sooner or later!"
"In this case, why not change someone else!"
Then he dropped a heavy bomb.
"I am Concubine Jie's nephew."
As soon as he said this, the expressions of several people present changed drastically.
"You, how could you be..." The emperor's face turned pale, and he pointed at Xu Zhen in disbelief. Then he became furious, his eyes full of ferocity, "I was wondering how you dare to betray me, it turns out you are the nephew of that bastard! Tell me! How long have you been planning these! Was it her who ordered you to do it! After all these years, what else did she want to do! I didn't take her life, it's already my..."
"What's the matter?!" Xu Zhen interrupted him and roared fiercely, "Do you think you are treating her well by locking her up in the Wende Hall as a half-ghost?! She is worse than a dog now, you know! She can't live or die. If I were her, I would have found a way to kill you long ago!"
"But what about her? She is still thinking about the friendship we had in the past, and repeatedly advised me not to do this. It's ridiculous."
"Since she doesn't want to, I will seek justice for this aunt!"
[Wende Hall... Shit, is he talking about that crazy woman?! ]
Lin Baoer's eyes widened in disbelief, as if she had heard something outrageous.
[So that crazy woman was the emperor's former concubine? But why was she locked up in Wende Hall by him and made into that state? ]
[According to what Xu Zhen said, it seems that the emperor was unfaithful and believed in slander...]
Thinking of the crazy woman's eyes, Lin Baoer immediately lost faith in this statement.
In ancient times, anything different from the world would be turned into a sin or something unclear by public opinion. Maybe the eyes of the crazy woman at that time were also like this. The emperor could not bear the pressure of public opinion from the people and ministers, so he had to give up his love. Or maybe he was already afraid in his heart, and just made a decision. That's why he sent the crazy woman to Wende Hall, and she became that thing that was neither human nor ghost.
Thinking of this, Lin Baoer couldn't help but feel a little angry.
But even if it's like this, so what? Isn't she the emperor's first wife? Is there really no affection? If there is really no affection, why not just execute her directly? Why lock her up in Wende Hall? Want to show your deep affection in this way?
It's really disgusting.
[It's better to let her die than to make her like that. No wonder these ministers are against this emperor. It seems there is a reason. 】
Lin Baoer complained in her heart, and looked at the emperor with contempt more than once.
Lin Mobai, who was holding her, silently covered her mouth without saying a word.
"Someone! Tie up this dog emperor for me!"
Xu Zhen ordered, and several soldiers suddenly rushed in from the door and headed towards the emperor.
Seeing this battle, the emperor was really scared. He hid behind the chair and glared, "Xu Zhen, are you trying to rebel?!"
Xu Zhen ignored him and watched coldly.
Seeing that the soldiers were about to touch the emperor, Lin Qiming turned sideways and stood in front of the emperor, and said in a deep voice, "Xu Zhen, stop the damage in time, you will only hurt yourself if you follow this woman."
Seeing this, the emperor quickly hid behind him again.
"You again." Shen Ruyu sneered, "You Lin family have ruined my plans time and again, so why are you planning to interfere this time?"
"Too late!"
"Now there are 30,000 troops outside the palace approaching the city, do you think you can still escape? Not only him, but even your Lin family can't escape!"
"I want to avenge Brother Chu!"
Just when the atmosphere was tense, Song Mo stood up coldly, narrowed his eyes, "Do you really think that those 30,000 troops are your people?"
Shen Ruyu's face changed slightly, "What do you mean?!"
Song Mo didn't explain anymore, but moved his hands.
The soldiers who were originally following Xu Zhen suddenly changed sides and pointed all their weapons at himself and Shen Ruyu.
"You?!" Xu Zhen was shocked and angry.
Shen Ruyu's face suddenly sank.
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind." Song Mo sneered, "Do you think we didn't make any preparations after we found out that something was wrong with you? Now the entire empress belongs to me! You should just surrender!"
Unexpectedly, the situation turned around in an instant, and Song Qingqing's heart fell.
[As expected of Daddy and the others. ]
Lin Baoer generously gave the credit to Lin Qiming and Lin Zhiyu.
"Come on! Take down these two traitors!" Song Mo ordered.
All the soldiers rushed towards Xu Zhen and Shen Ruyu.
But Xu Zhen didn't want to just sit there and wait for death. His eyes became fierce, and he drew the sword from his waist and stabbed the emperor with a few leaps.
Lin Qiming's eyebrows sank slightly, and he stood there motionless like a mountain.
When the sword came over, no one saw what he did. In almost an instant, he grabbed Xu Zhen's wrist holding the sword, and then pulled, tugged, and twisted, and the sword instantly slipped out of Xu Zhen's hand and fell to the ground.
Xu Zhen fell at the emperor's feet with a distorted face in pain, and the emperor frightened him and moved aside.
[Wow! This is the first time I see Daddy take action! I didn't expect him to be so handsome! Even more handsome than my second brother!]
Lin Mobai's eyes were helpless, but also full of pride.
Even if the people of their Lin family don't fight on the battlefield, they are all good men who are both civil and martial!
Xu Zhen didn't give up, and wanted to take out the dagger on his leg with his other hand, but was pierced through by Lin Qiming's sword.
"Ahhh!"
The screams echoed in the palace, making people's hearts shudder.
"I have killed tens of thousands of people at the border, and you are the one I despise the most." Lin Qiming glared at him.
Xu Zhen was so angry that he wanted to curse, but before he could say anything, his neck was cut by a sharp blade.
Everyone looked at the emperor in surprise.
The emperor kicked Xu Zhen away with a bad face, and said angrily, "Rebellious ministers and thieves like this should be executed in time!"
Lin Qiming said nothing, as if he acquiesced to his behavior.
"You...you...don't die well..." Before Xu Zhen died, he covered his neck and stared at the emperor, unwilling to give in.
Seeing that he was dead, Shen Ruyu was not panicked at all. Instead, he sat on the chair more calmly, and his chuckle turned into a laugh.
