Chapter 257 Finale 2
"I had no intention of competing with you. When I went to Fangzhou, I had already considered giving you the throne of crown prince. But you insisted on killing me and repeatedly sent assassins to kill me, my wife, children, and the old ministers who followed me."
"Second brother, oh second brother, it was you who forced me back from Chang'an."
There was a cold light like a knife in Li Wenjing's deep eyes.
"So what? Li Wenjing, I advise you to hand over the antidote honestly. Otherwise, the world will be in chaos and rivers of blood will flow. Can you afford it?"
"I'm afraid the people will hate you to death by then."
Emperor Yuanhe asked in confusion, "The world is in chaos? What does this mean?"
"Father, the King of Qi has colluded with seventeen barbarian tribes and wants to stir up chaos in the world." Li Wenyu reported.
Emperor Yuanhe didn't believe it.
Even if his son continued to act recklessly, he would never collude with the barbarians and ignore the people of Dagan.
Lin Zhiyi took out the evidence of King Qi colluding with the seventeen barbarian tribes from the space and presented it.
This was obtained by Lu Chongjian, and Li Wenjing asked her to keep it in her space at that time.
Emperor Yuanhe instantly trembled like a sieve, "You! You!"
I was so angry that I couldn't say a word.
Li Wenyu clapped his hands and said, "Bring it up."
Then two deputy generals under Li Wenyu entered the hall, each holding a wooden box in their hands, and came before the King of Qi.
"King Qi, this is a great gift to send you on your journey."
The King of Qi looked down and collapsed to the ground in shock.
It’s the head of the barbarian leader!
He stared at Li Wenyu with wide eyes.
Li Wenyu smiled and said, "Yes, I went to the Barbarian Tribe more than half a year ago, and now the Barbarian Tribe has been recaptured by the king."
The King of Qi knew that he was finished.
Princess Qi, Chen Tang, was also frightened and turned pale.
Yes, Princess, Li Wenjing cares so much about Lin Zhiyi. As long as you capture Lin Zhiyi and their son, you can make Li Wenjing compromise.
The King of Qi gave Deputy General Zhou a wink.
Lin Zhiyi had been prepared for this. When King Qi threw the jade cup, she sent Li Hong into the space.
Because he had just presented evidence to Emperor Yuanhe, Lin Zhiyi was standing next to Emperor Yuanhe at this time.
Deputy General Zhou went to capture Lin Zhiyi, but in the eyes of Emperor Yuanhe, it seemed that Deputy General Zhou wanted to kill him.
Seeing Deputy General Zhou stabbing at him with a sword, Emperor Yuanhe trembled with fear.
The Lin family members were also frightened and shouted, "Zhizhi, be careful!"
Li Wenjing's heart was in her throat. She knew Zhizhi would not let her get hurt, so she could enter the space.
Before Deputy General Zhou's knife could fall, a wolf pounced on him and bit off his throat before he could react.
Then there was another wolf howl.
Everyone in the hall was almost scared to death.
"Why are there wolves in the Prince's Mansion?"
"Still two."
"This wolf is so big and strong. It doesn't look like an ordinary wolf, but more like a wolf king."
"Why didn't I see them just now? Where did they come from?"
Lin Zhiyi shouted, "Don't be afraid, everyone. They are very docile and won't bite. If this man hadn't intended to assassinate Your Majesty, Zhao Cai and Jin Bao wouldn't have bitten him to death."
Then Lin Zhiyi patted the two's heads and ordered, "Zhao Cai, Jin Bao, go and bite those two to death."
Lin Zhiyi was referring to the King of Qi and his wife.
Zhaocai and Jinbao walked slowly forward, their eyes locked on the King of Qi and the Queen of Qi.
Lin Zhiyi could only use this method to make Zhaocai and Jinbao appear in front of people as a means of protecting the emperor, so that the ministers and the people of Chang'an would not reject their existence.
Being stared at by the two wolves, the King of Qi and his wife were terrified. They retreated and ordered the Yulin Army, "Kill these two beasts!"
However, the Yulin Army did not move and threw all the weapons in their hands to the ground.
They surrendered!
They were originally bewitched by Deputy General Zhou.
The moment General Shen entered the hall, they had to listen to him.
“Ah~ah~”
A few screams were heard, and soon the King of Qi and his wife were dead.
"Arrest all those who followed the King of Qi and put them in jail."
At Li Wenjing's command, the Jinwu Guards led by Zhao Zhan, the Yulin Army led by General Shen, and the guards in the Prince's Mansion, together arrested the man.
The hall suddenly became much emptier.
Emperor Yuanhe seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. Cheng'er is young and ignorant, and has been deceived. But I am innocent. Please spare my life for the sake of our past friendship!"
Emperor Yuanhe kicked Concubine Wen away and said, "Get out of here!"
It turns out that Concubine Wen's gentleness and virtue were all fake.
"Innocent?" Li Wenjing stared at her, wishing he could peel off her skin and pull out her tendons.
"I'm afraid Concubine Wen has forgotten how my mother died!"
Li Wenjing gritted his teeth.
Concubine Wen suddenly had a bad feeling.
But there was no panic on his face. "What are you talking about, Prince? Didn't the Queen die in an accident?"
“Bring it up!”
The guards from the Prince's Mansion brought up the nanny beside Concubine Wen.
"You little dog slave, if you tell a lie, I'll chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs!"
Mammy shuddered with fear.
She is not afraid of death, but she is afraid of bringing trouble to her family.
The day she entered the palace, she came to ensure that her family had enough food and clothing, not to have them wiped out.
She met Concubine Wen's gaze. Although Concubine Wen was also staring at her intently, even if she was scary, she was not as scary as the Crown Prince at this moment.
"Your Majesty, it was the Imperial Concubine who sent people to create this illusion. The Empress was killed by the Imperial Concubine. It wasn't an accident, it wasn't an accident..."
The nanny had followed Concubine Wen since she was young, and she revealed all the bad things that Concubine Wen had done.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yuanhe was so exhausted that he fainted.
Li Wenjing ordered people to move Emperor Yuanhe to a side hall to rest first.
Then he ordered: "Come here, Concubine Wen has done all sorts of evil things. Cut off her tongue, gouge out her eyes, and break her limbs. Throw her into the pigpen to be gnawed by the beasts and let her die."
"Hahahaha! She's dead and rotten, even the grass on her grave has withered! I won, I watched her turn to ashes! Hahahaha..."
"Take him away quickly!"
Li Wenjing was afraid that Lin Zhiyi would be frightened, so he quickly comforted her, "Zhizhi, go back and accompany Hong'er first. I'm here. I promise you that there will be no more disputes in the harem. You will always be my, Li Wenjing's, only wife. The tragedy of my mother and Concubine Wen will never happen again!"
Lin Zhiyi nodded.
She believed him!
When Emperor Yuanhe woke up, his hair turned suddenly white!
After he returned to the palace, he issued an imperial decree to abdicate the throne to Crown Prince Li Wenjing that same day.
The king who was once so decisive and ruthless can't even hold a red pen steadily now.
In the Golden Palace, he trembled as he handed the imperial seal to Li Wenjing, muttering like an ordinary old man, "I should go and accompany Jing'er's child..."
In the setting sun, the body wrapped in the black dragon robe looked a little lonely.
The thin figure walked away, and Li Wenjing's knuckles turned white: Father, I forgive you!
In the spring of the first year of Jinghe, the emperor abdicated and issued a general amnesty!
The Crown Princess Lin was made the queen, and the eldest son Hong was made the crown prince, and he moved into the East Palace!
