Chapter 425 Today is the day you die!
Mu Chengyan sneered, "Chen Guangzhi, today——"
Mu Cheng stretched out his hand and grabbed Chen Guangzhi's fragile neck. "Today is the day you die!"
Chen Guangzhi's breathing paused, and his face suddenly turned red due to lack of oxygen. He stretched out his hand to break free, but Mu Chengyan was too strong.
His face grew redder and redder.
Gradually, the amplitude of Chen Guangzhi's waving hands became smaller and smaller.
Finally, the flushed face gradually turned into the color of liver, and finally, only a breath of exhaled air and tears that were about to fall from the corners of the eyes were left.
suddenly.
There was a loud bang and the door outside was kicked open.
Mu Chengyan's hand loosened a little, giving Chen Guangzhi a chance to catch his breath, and he pushed Mu Chengyan away.
He covered his neck and gasped for breath.
"Dad! Dad! How are you?" Chen Meihua rushed in.
Mu Chengyan frowned, reached out his hand, and pinched Chen Guangzhi's neck again.
"Dad!" Chen Meihua screamed, tears falling.
"Let go of my dad!"
Mu Chengyan's lips curled into an icy smile. "Your father attempted to assassinate me, which was a crime of insubordination." Mu Chengyan picked up the imperial sword from the side. "This is the imperial sword bestowed by the late emperor. It allows me to execute first and report later. Now, I will kill your father!"
Without Chen Guangzhi, Chen Meihua became disheartened and naturally let him control her.
After Mu Chengyan finished speaking, he gathered strength in his hands, and then swung the cold sword in his hand high!
That moment.
Chen Guangzhi closed his eyes fatally.
Chen Meihua covered her mouth, and her heartbeat suddenly stopped.
"etc!"
At this moment, a voice slowly sounded at the door, very low and shallow, but very powerful.
Mu Chengyan frowned and looked over, and saw Yun Zhao, who had been standing at the door for some time and had a pale face.
"Why did you come out?" Mu Chengyan asked with a frown.
It's raining and windy outside today.
Yun Zhao was weak, and even though Xie Jingmo wrapped her in a cloak, she still couldn't withstand the cold wind, and she coughed several times.
Then she looked up and said to Mu Chengyan: "I am the Empress Dowager of this dynasty. While I am here, it is not your turn to use the Imperial Sword."
Mu Chengyan frowned deeply, but did not put down the sword in his hand.
Chen Meihua's heart was on the sword, tears streaming down her face. "Dad, it's all my fault. It's my stubbornness that hurt you. If I hadn't insisted on marrying Mu Chengyan, nothing would have happened today. Dad, it's all my fault!"
Chen Guangzhi was grabbed by Mu Chengyan, and he tilted his head to comfort Chen Meihua, "My daughter, Daddy is fine, it's okay, don't cry."
Yun Zhao frowned, looking at everything in front of her, she said coldly to Mu Chengyan: "Let him go!"
Mu Chengyan did not loosen the strength in his hand. If the sharp sword fell at this moment, Chen Guangzhi would surely die.
"Yun Zhao, you are the Queen Mother, but Chen Guangzhi has committed insubordination and I am punishing him severely. If you don't want to see bloodshed, you'd better wait outside. Once I'm done with this, I'll come out to find you."
Finished.
Mu Chengyan raised his sword and swung it down.
Chen Meihua suddenly opened her eyes wide, then she closed her eyes and rushed forward. The sword was about to fall on her.
Next second.
The imagined pain did not come as expected.
Tick.
Tick-tock
Blood fell.
Following Chen Meihua's line of sight, it hit Chen Guangzhi's face and finally rolled to the ground.
Drop after drop.
It quickly gathered on the ground into a small pool of blood.
This was the scene Xie Jingmo and Deputy General Gao saw when they dealt with the people outside and entered the room.
Xie Jingmo's breathing stagnated, and Deputy General Gao took action and knocked away the imperial sword in Mu Chengyan's hand with one sword.
The sword fell to the ground with a clang.
It woke everyone up.
"Yun Zhao!"
"Empress Dowager!"
"Zhao Zhao!"
“…”
There was chaos all around.
Mu Chengyan looked down at his empty hands, then looked at Yun Zhao, and was in a daze for a long time.
Xie Jingmo raised his sword, pointing the tip at Mu Chengyan's nose, "Mu Chengyan, I'm not done with you!"
Yun Zhao was surrounded by people and taken out to get bandaged, while Chen Meihua quickly took Chen Guangzhi and fled the room.
Mu Chengyan stood there in a daze.
Look at the red blood on the ground.
That is...
Yun Zhao's blood.
He hurt Yun Zhao?
he--
Hurt Yun Zhao?
Mu Chengyan's mind went blank.
He never thought of hurting Yun Zhao, he never thought of it from beginning to end.
What he had always been thinking about was taking Yun Zhao away and bringing her back to Liziguai.
Then the two of them lived a good life.
How now——
Mu Chengyan's mind suddenly became confused. Yun Zhao's pale face, shaky body, and cold gaze, all of this kept flashing through his mind.
He was confused.
I don't know why things turned out like this.
He never intended to hurt Yun Zhao.
He loves her.
The servant walked in and whispered to Mu Chengyan, "Boss, Yun Zhao is fine. I just saw the imperial physician bandaging her. She bled a little, but it's nothing serious. Don't blame yourself. It wasn't your intention to hurt anyone. You gave the Chen family a choice, but they didn't know the situation. That's natural. There's no need for you to be soft-hearted. It's their fault, not yours."
Mu Chengyan slowly raised his head and looked at the servant. "It's not... my fault?"
"Of course, you will be the emperor soon. Won't you?"
"How could the Emperor be wrong?"
"Anything the Emperor does is right."
"Just wait a few more days. When you go to court, take out the imperial edict and the whole world will be yours. By then, Yun Zhao will naturally see your good intentions."
Mu Chengyan looked stunned. He glanced at the blood on the ground and asked in a low voice, "Will she understand my good intentions? Really?"
"Of course," the servant said matter-of-factly, "for her sake, you wouldn't even turn back. Fighting alone in this court full of intrigue, how rare is that? Any woman would be moved, right?"
"Besides, you will be the emperor in the future. If you give the position of empress to Yun Zhao, she will naturally be happy. What else can she be dissatisfied with?"
"Aren't all the women in this world pursuing this kind of love throughout their lives?"
When Mu Chengyan heard this, the chaos in his mind gradually dissipated.
He nodded and said, "Yes, as long as I ascend the throne and become emperor."
"What Xie Jingmo, what Deputy General Gao, what the past is, none of it matters."
"By then, Yun Zhao will be my only queen, and she will understand me."
The servant nodded and asked Mu Chengyan, "Boss, what should we do now?"
Mu Chengyan narrowed his eyes. "The young emperor hasn't passed his seventh day of mourning yet. I still need the Chen family to help me win over other forces. I can't let go of Chen Guangzhi, this chess piece. Chen Meihua's property must also be in my hands. You control the rest of the Chen family and control Chen Guangzhi. Once the young emperor's seventh day of mourning passes, I'll ascend the throne and kill Chen Guangzhi! By then, I'll have dealt with Chen Meihua, and my hands will still be clean."
Upon hearing this, the servant nodded slowly.
Mu Chengyan said to the servant, "Go tell Chen Guangzhi that if he doesn't cooperate with me, I will tell the whole world that he was the one who killed the little emperor! Then the whole Chen family will die together!"
"Tell him again that if he is willing to help me, I will give Chen Meihua a divorce certificate after the matter is completed."
Chen Guangzhi loves his daughter dearly, and he will definitely cooperate with me even for this divorce agreement.
The sky gradually darkened.
Mu Chengyan smiled coldly in the twilight.
