"Did I let you run away?" Lin Jinghan quickly caught up with him and slashed at his back with another sword!
"Ancestor, save me!" Ye Cangmang resisted hastily.
Lin Jinghan's sword was as powerful as a bamboo, breaking through Ye Cangmang's resistance and cutting off his right arm with one sword.
"Ah!" Along with Ye Cangmang's scream, Lin Jinghan was surrounded by a rare murderous aura.
"This sword will kill you who have hurt this princess!"
Before Ye Cangmang could recover, Lin Jinghan chopped off his left arm with another sword.
"This one, I'll kill you for ever hurting the princess!"
With the last sword strike, Lin Jinghan stabbed his heart.
"This sword will send you to hell to make amends for the people who died in Jingnan Palace today because of you!"
"Stop!" Ye Gao hurriedly wanted to save people, but was stopped by the red Sikong Zhan.
"Your opponent is me."
Ye Gao was furious, "Does the Jingnan Palace really want to become an enemy of my Cangmang Villa?"
"So what?" The red Sikong Zhan took the first step and actually wanted to kill Ye Gao!
Ye Gao is a veteran martial arts master. How could he tolerate being humiliated by a young man?
The two of them fought back and forth, and their fighting was evenly matched.
And Ye Cangmang had already become the soul under Lin Jinghan's sword.
The black Sikong Zhan slowly walked up to Sikong Ling. Seeing this, Sikong Ling's subordinates subconsciously took a few steps back.
The black Sikong Zhan had no intention of making things difficult for them. He just looked at Sikong Ling, who was sitting on the ground in silence, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"Ling'er, I once warned you that you should never, ever undermine the foundation of the Jingnan Army, but you once again invited the wolf into the house, killing so many people in the Jingnan Palace."
"I was the one who made the mistake. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. I have nothing to say. You have already killed my brother and father, so why did you leave me alone?"
Sikong Ling looked up at the sky and smiled palely.
"Sikong Zhan, if you had sent me to the underground to reunite with my family earlier, why would the Jingnan Palace have fallen apart? You have to do things thoroughly, right?"
The black Sikong Zhan was indeed a bit more gentle than the complete Sikong Zhan. He sighed and told the truth of that year:
"Back then, the real Prince Jingnan died unexpectedly in the sect. The old Prince Jingnan happened to save my life. After hearing the news of your brother's passing, I couldn't bear it and my health deteriorated day by day."
"Unfortunately, the Emperor's suspicion of the Jingnan Palace has grown. He's afraid that you can't support it on your own. Since the Crown Prince and I are of similar age, he asked me to replace the Crown Prince and take over the throne. Once everything is stable at the Jingnan Palace, I can pass the throne to your child."
Sikong Ling never thought that the truth would be like this. She couldn't accept it. She couldn't accept that everything she had done in the past few years was wrong. She screamed hysterically:
"No, you're lying! How could my brother die suddenly? Why would you appear right in front of my father? You're an outsider, there's no way my father would trust you so much! This must be a trap set by you! It's you who killed my brother and deceived my father!"
Tang Xun was worried that Sikong Ling might have a miscarriage, so he quickly hugged her.
"Ling'er, it's true! The prince really wants to pass the throne to our child! He's even drafted the succession letter!"
Sikong Ling stopped struggling and looked at Tang Xun with red eyes.
Tang Xun took out the succession book and placed it in front of Sikong Ling. "Ling'er, you are wrong. You have wrongly accused the prince."
Sikong Ling opened the book of succession with trembling hands. After a while, she laughed bitterly.
"Impossible! If that's the case, why didn't Dad tell me the truth? There's no reason for him to hide it from me! Impossible!"
"You were still young at that time. Your father didn't tell you, nor did he let me tell you, because he was worried that you couldn't bear the blow. I didn't expect that you would discover the clues yourself." Sikong Zhan closed his eyes and opened them after a moment.
"No matter what, hundreds of lives were lost in the Jingnan Palace. Sikong Ling, you deserve to die!"
Tang Xun saw that the prince really had the intention to kill, so he quickly stood in front of Sikong Ling, knelt down in front of Sikong Zhan, and kowtowed heavily.
"Your Highness, Ling'er is pregnant. I have overstepped my bounds. Please spare his life! Ling'er is my wife. It's his fault, so please let me take full responsibility!"
Tang Xin knelt down.
"I am also at fault for what happened today. I discovered the affair between the princess and Ye Cangmang a long time ago, but I kept it a secret and didn't dare to tell anyone! Please punish me, Your Highness!"
"Tang Xun, get up. She did all these things without telling you. You did nothing wrong, and you shouldn't be held responsible for her mistakes." Sikong Zhan clenched his fists.
Tang Xun said he would take responsibility, and I'm afraid he was ready to die to prove his loyalty! He had already lost so many men today, he couldn't afford to lose this brother again.
Tang Xun leaned forward and kowtowed.
"But Ling'er is my wife, the only love of my life. Tang Xun has followed the prince for so many years and has never asked you for anything. Today, Tang Xun has no other request but to let me take the blame for Ling'er's crime!"
Sikong Ling suddenly kicked Tang Xun away.
"Get lost! Who asked you to take the blame for me? I don't love you at all! I married you just to use you! But you're such a blockhead! I've hinted at this to you so many times, yet you still cling to this fake prince! If you were willing to cooperate with me, I would have succeeded by now! Tang Xun, you don't love me at all, so why are you pretending to be so hypocritical? It's really disgusting!"
Tang Xun smiled bleakly, "Yes, I don't love you. I only married you because you are a princess. Isn't it because you married a princess that I got my position as deputy commander?"
