Chapter 91 Pingyuan Marquis Mansion
Nie Chubai said that he would come to pick up Wen Yingxue in three days, but there was no way Wen Yingxue could wait for three days.
She asked the jailer disguised as Feng Wei to find her a set of night clothes, and then she sneaked out.
It was the third night, and the palace was in a mess, with blood everywhere and many corpses.
Wen Yingxue saw it and immediately frowned uncomfortably, then ran to find where the emperor was, the Yangxin Palace.
Before she even got close, Wen Yingxue heard the sound of weapons clashing. Above the Yangxin Palace, Eighth Prince Nie Chubai and Hao Wanlin were engaged in combat with Ye Junyan, Long Yi, and the Fifth Prince.
For the first time, Wen Yingxue realized that the Eighth Prince's martial arts skills were not weak. She had really been deceived by his appearance.
As she watched, Wen Yingxue sighed. On their side, except for Nie Chubai, the Eighth Prince and Hao Wanlin were all dragging their feet.
On the other hand, on Lin Youwan's side, the three of them were very strong, and it seemed that Nie Chubai was about to be defeated.
The six of them were fighting fiercely on the roof, and there was also a big fight below.
At the Sky-Slaying Pavilion, Nie Chubai only brought a few people, and most of the others were from the Phoenix Guards. Wen Yingxue looked carefully, but there was no sign of Feng Yi.
Seeing that Lin Youwan was about to secretly use a hidden weapon again, Wen Yingxue snorted coldly, took out a crossbow and aimed it at Lin Youwan.
Three arrows were shot out in succession.
One arrow hit Lin Youwan's shoulder blade, one arrow hit Ye Junyan's arm, and the third arrow missed.
"Yeah!" Wen Yingxue cheered herself up with a fist pump. Thinking back to all the hard work she'd put into practicing her technique, she couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
Ye Junyan and Lin Youwan turned around and saw Wen Yingxue approaching with Qingshui in her hand.
"You actually attacked me by surprise! How shameless!" Ye Junyan pointed at Wen Yingxue and cursed.
Wen Yingxue was almost dying of laughter: "Haha! You scolded me so well. I forgot to remind you that when Lin Youwan fought against Nie Chubai, she always used sneak attacks.
How shameless! How shameless! "
Ye Junyan was furious, and before he could say a word, half of his hair was cut off by Wen Yingxue.
"Since you told me a joke, I'll shave your head for free." Wen Yingxue smiled, and when she saw Ye Junyan turned around to block her sword, she immediately turned around and attacked Lin Youwan.
Lin Youwan did not expect Wen Yingxue to attack her again. She was unable to dodge and was hit by a sword in the back again.
When Lin Youwan turned around to deal with Wen Yingxue, Hao Wanlin poked her from behind again.
Wen Yingxue ran away again, holding a sword, to find the fifth prince.
"I told you not to cause trouble for me! I told you to put me in jail, I will stab you to death, I will stab, I will stab, I will stab!" Wen Yingxue cursed while waving the sword in her hand faster and faster.
The fifth prince was attacked by Wen Yingxue and the eighth prince. He was stabbed and cut by one and the other, and soon his body was covered with wounds.
"Bitch! I'm going to kill you!"
At this moment, a group of men in black suddenly came and rushed towards Nie Chubai desperately. Ye Junyan, who was fighting with him, flew over and hugged Lin Youwan and was about to run away.
Wen Yingxue and Nie Chubai turned around to chase after him, but were blocked by the men in black.
On the Eighth Prince's side, the Fifth Prince also escaped.
These men in black don't care about their lives at all. They rush forward one by one seeking death just to delay time.
"Death squad?" Nie Chubai frowned and used the last move of the Sky-Slaying Sword Technique to clear away the obstacles in front of him.
Wen Yingxue took the opportunity to fly out and was about to press the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles in her hand towards Ye Junyan and Lin Youwan.
As soon as he pressed the button, a figure was thrown over by Ye Junyan, and just became the target of the Torrential Rain of Pear Blossom Needles.
It was the Fifth Prince, Qi Yan, who had been struck head-on by the Torrential Pear Blossom Needle and was already dead. Wen Yingxue tried to chase after them, but Lin Youwan and Ye Junyan had already vanished.
Looking at the unlucky Fifth Prince, Wen Yingxue lit a candle for him. Really, he didn't even know the temperaments of those two people, and dared to use anyone. He deserved to be pushed out as a scapegoat.
Wen Yingxue turned around and saw Nie Chubai staring blankly at the corpse of a dead man at his feet, his fists clenched.
Wen Yingxue noticed that Nie Chubai looked amiss and asked, "What's wrong?"
"These people are the death squads trained by Ye Lin. I didn't expect that he would send them out to protect Ye Junyan."
They are both sons, but because of their mothers’ different identities, they are treated very differently.
Ye Junyan received all the fatherly love from Ye Lin, but Ye Lin didn't want him to live in this world at all.
Wen Yingxue didn't know what to say, so she had to hold Nie Chubai's hand.
Nie Chubai took a deep breath and smiled at Wen Yingxue: "I'm fine."
As soon as the fifth prince died, the rebellious soldiers were immediately suppressed. Soon, some were killed and some surrendered.
The eighth prince pushed open the door of the Yangxin Palace. In the inner room, the emperor was still lying on the bed with Guan Ziming beside him.
"Father, my fifth brother is dead, and the rebels outside have been brought under control. You are safe." The eighth prince knelt in front of the bed and said to the emperor.
The emperor's health was not good to begin with, and he was given a chronic poison. Although the poison has been cured, he is still dying.
He looked at the Eighth Prince and asked, "Do you blame me?"
The eighth prince looked at the emperor for a long time, then nodded.
"It was clearly you, Father, who didn't want the Queen to give birth to a legitimate son, and my mother took the blame for you by mistake. However, you never explained and allowed the Queen to kill my mother.
I blame you and I hate you. I am obviously your son, so why do you always ignore me and let the Queen bully me?
I already knew what Fifth Brother was thinking. I also knew he poisoned you, but I didn't warn you. We are not destined to be father and son, so let it be."
The Emperor listened to the Eighth Prince's words and smiled weakly. He then asked for pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. "Yes, our father and son have a shallow bond. I have treated you badly in the past, but I do not want to apologize. I only ask one thing of you. After you have the imperial edict of succession, please send me to Lianxin Lake Island."
Lianxin Lake Island was built by the emperor for the late queen because the queen loved lotus.
When the late queen died, she was not buried in the imperial mausoleum, but was sealed in an ice coffin and placed on the Lianxin Lake Island.
"Okay." The eighth prince responded.
After finishing the imperial edict, the emperor put down his pen, his eyes starting to unfocus: "Lan'er, I'm here."
The bell tolled for the emperor's death, and the life of a great emperor came to an end.
The eighth prince clenched the succession decree in his hand and let out a sigh after a long time.
At this time, Nie Chubai said to the Eighth Prince, "Now the matter is almost settled. Eighth Prince, I have some personal matters to attend to, so I will be leaving first."
The Eighth Prince nodded, patted Nie Chubai on the shoulder, and said, "Go."
Nie Chubai looked at Wen Yingxue and said to her, "How about I take you back home first?"
"I'll go with you." Wen Yingxue held Nie Chubai's hand tightly.
Nie Chubai nodded, pulled Wen Yingxue, jumped on the horse, and was followed by Ji Yan and Wu Nan.
Behind him, the eighth prince also turned around, holding the imperial edict in his hand, and went to the Queen's Fengyi Palace.
