Jiang Yang didn't notice anything unusual. Instead, he thought that it was his own people who were killing people. His excitement was not concealed at all.
"Hahaha, soon all of this will be mine! Su Daocheng, you and your family can go on your journey with peace of mind! Get started!"
At the command, Su Jingsheng and his men also began to fall into crisis and could only try their best to save themselves.
Xiao Lingling handed the pills that could cure the disease to Su Daocheng and joined in.
As she moved among the crowd, she helped untie Su Jingsheng and the other two, and handed them weapons.
As a prince, he is naturally proficient in both civil and military affairs. With weapons, even if he cannot defeat ten enemies alone, he can at least protect himself.
Xiao Lingdang did not kill them, at most she just made them lose their ability to move, so after a while, all the men in black fell to the ground and no one was left standing.
Jiang Yang seemed to come to his senses at this moment, and looked at Su Daocheng and others in horror.
Seeing Su Daocheng's face gradually turning red, he finally realized something.
"You! You're not sick?! No, how is that possible? They all saw it with their own eyes!"
Jiang Yangren was dumbfounded. He had never encountered such a situation before. He had been planning for a long time, but still fell into their trap?
Su Daocheng stood up, no longer looking old and frail. In an instant, his imperial aura dissipated, making Jiang Yang's face even paler.
"Jiang Yang, you are a patient hunter, but you are too impatient.
If you don't believe what the Jiang family said, I will naturally give you a satisfactory answer.
But it is also a fact that you are extremely rebellious and want to do something illegal.
I won't kill you, but I won't let you go either.
You will spend the rest of your life in prison."
After saying that, Su Daocheng was about to have someone take him away, but he didn't expect that Jiang Yang seemed to have gone crazy. He didn't know where he got the courage and strength from, but he actually bypassed the layers of encirclement and rushed over to hide behind Su Daocheng.
The dagger in his hand was pressed tightly against Su Daocheng's neck.
"Father!"
"Jiang Yang, don't mess around. My father has already said he won't kill you. Let him go!"
"Jiang Yang, you're at your wit's end now. Don't make the same mistake over and over again!"
Everyone was trying to persuade him, but Jiang Yang had already gone mad and had no patience to listen to their quarrels.
"Shut up, everyone! Prepare two hundred thousand taels of silver and a fast horse for me to ride on! Otherwise, I'll take him with me even if I die!"
I have to say that Jiang Yang is really indomitable. Even so, he still refuses to admit defeat.
Su Daocheng was very calm, not panicking at all, "It's okay, even if I'm gone, as long as Qingyang still has you, we won't be defeated, that's enough.
Don't compromise with such people. This is the dignity and pride of our royal family, and also the pride of Qingyang.
Good children, don't be afraid, your father is satisfied!"
Su Daocheng knew very well that Jiang Yang was a nuisance. If he let him go at this time, there would only be endless troubles in the future.
So, you must never let it go!
But some things sound good but are too difficult to do.
"Father...we..."
Jiang Yang didn't expect this result and became obviously panicked.
Suddenly, a sound of breaking through the air was heard...
"ah……"
Jiang Yang was hit on the wrist and the dagger in his hand suddenly fell. Then a figure flashed by, Su Daocheng was pulled away in an instant, and Jiang Yang's figure was revealed.
Seeing this, the secret guards rushed forward quickly and held the man down.
Before everyone could react, Chu Yu appeared from nowhere and knelt in front of Su Daocheng.
"This humble general pays homage to His Majesty. Long live the Emperor."
Su Daocheng came back to his senses, "It's you? Why are you here?"
"Your Majesty, because Qin Zheng is a treacherous and cunning man, I am worried that something might go wrong along the way, so I am personally escorting him to the capital.
I was about to report to the emperor, but when I saw something was wrong at the palace gate, I knew something was wrong, so I followed the palace guards and came here.
However, I was not summoned to the palace, so please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Su Daocheng was a little surprised, but it was a fact that he saved himself, so he naturally had no intention of blaming him.
"General Chu, there's no need to do this. If you hadn't arrived in time, we wouldn't know what would have happened now.
"Get up quickly, get up quickly! Come, take away Jiang Yang's martial arts skills and lock him up in a dark cell."
All those who intend to rebel will be arrested and imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy! "
Soon, everyone started to move. Outside, the sound of orderly footsteps and cries for mercy could be heard.
Now that the matter has been settled, everyone can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
After everyone was taken away, the imperial study returned to its former tranquility.
Su Daocheng slowly sat back on the couch, "Alright, just ask whatever you want to ask!"
As soon as the words fell, Su Jingsheng and others couldn't help but ask questions.
"Father, what is going on? Who is that Jiang Yang? Is he helping Su Jingyao rebel?"
"Yes, Father, what's the matter with your illness? Queen Mother hasn't appeared recently. Where did she go?"
…
Everyone asked a lot of questions at once, which gave Su Daocheng a headache, but he still patiently comforted them.
"Don't worry! Your mother is fine. She is now at your sister's princess residence. The people in the palace are just trying to attract their attention.
As for Jiang Yang, he is a shameless thief. He speaks in high-sounding words, but in fact he is just greedy for power.
He's just a sinister villain, so don't worry too much about him. As for Su Jingyao, he's not my son, let alone your brother, so there's no need to show mercy to him.
As for this illness, it's also fake, a deception your little sister created for me. Otherwise, how could I lure the snake out of its hole?"
Su Jingsheng was dumbfounded. He looked at his father and then at Xiao Lingling. He couldn't believe that this was fake.
Xiao Lingling looked at Su Jingsheng embarrassedly. For some reason, she felt a little guilty. She glanced at him lightly and quickly lowered her head.
"Junior Sister..."
"Hehehe, Shi, Senior Brother... Well, that's because Father needs help, I, I can't just sit back and do nothing, right?
It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, it’s just that the number of people who know about it must be, well, the fewer the better, right…”
Xiao Lingling's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally she lost her voice altogether.
The poor little thing made everyone feel soft-hearted.
"Alright, alright, alright. I'm not mad at you. I know you did it for our father. I just didn't expect your medical skills to be so great now.
I actually didn't realize it until now. But, it's always a good thing if it's not true. Don't worry, Senior Brother is not angry. But can you give me this medicine so that I can study it?"
