Chapter 69: Cut Fast
As soon as this guy opened his mouth, Jiang Wan could tell something was wrong.
After scanning the area carefully with her eyes, her smile widened. The cautiousness and determination in Gouzi's eyes made Dr. Xiao Jiang realize at a glance that this was not a new case.
I was wondering if it would be a bit uncool to attack a little kid, but now I don't feel any psychological burden at all.
I feel that the God in this world is quite intellectual and understands the principle that every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor.
"Get out of the way, there are bad guys!"
He pulled Li Chengxiu away, drew out the big knife hanging from the waist of the guard Li Song, and chopped at the bastard in the carriage.
I traveled through time and met a reborn dog. This time I have a knife in my hand.
If I can't kill you, you've lived in vain.
"Wanjie'er..."
Li Laosi only felt someone pushing him, and then his eyes blurred, and his fiancée had already raised a knife and slashed at the person who was suspected to be his nephew.
"Help!"
Li Shenxiu did a wild dog roll, narrowly avoiding the sudden attack of the machete. Seeing that the fool was really going to do it, he didn't dare to lie there in the car and pretend. He pushed open the window with one hand and, relying on his small stature, he quickly rolled out of the car.
"I am the Sixth Prince of the current dynasty. You dare to commit treason and seek death!"
"Oh, you are really looking for death!"
Jiang Wan swiftly rushed over from the shaft of the cart and chopped down with another knife.
"Everyone knows that the emperor doesn't have a sixth prince, only a sixth princess. Where did you come from, you thief? How dare you pretend to be the heir to the throne?
You must have been sent here by the remnants of the previous dynasty, hoping to capture the Fourth Prince and threaten the Emperor. With my loyal Jiang family from Lingguo Mansion here, you can forget about it!
The skill of chopping people does not stop at talking, and the cloak of loyalty should be put on in a high-profile manner.
The first time I used the knife, I didn't feel comfortable, but the second time I chopped it down, it was much smoother. The blade landed on the dog, and immediately the white knife went in and the red knife came out.
Li Shenxiu actually had good kung fu skills, but unfortunately he was still a child in this life. No matter how good his kung fu skills were, his strength was limited. After dodging a few moves, he was hit by a knife.
"Stop! Ah, I really am the Sixth Prince! Fourth brother, save me!"
Li Chengxiu, who originally wanted to go up and persuade Jiang Wan to ask clearly before saying anything, was immediately nailed to the spot by the boy's call of "Fourth Brother".
So, come prepared?
His narrow and long phoenix eyes twitched violently.
Has someone set a trap for me?
Who the hell wants to harm me?
He was not of good temper to begin with, and as a prince who was brought up in pampering, when he got angry he would just rush over and attack both the man and the woman.
"Good boy, you actually dared to pretend to be a prince? You really take me for a fool. Who is your fourth brother? Call me Fourth Uncle!"
With a sudden pounce like a wild tiger, he successfully caught the fleeing kid. Jiang Wan chased him over and started chopping him with a knife.
"Spare his life!"
I don’t want to listen, it’s just a turtle chanting.
The knife fell and blood flowed out.
Li Shenxiu used all his strength to twist half his body in Li Chengxiu's claws, and only then did he narrowly avoid the oncoming knife attack on his head. However, the wound from his right shoulder to his chest was so severe that the bone was visible.
"ah!"
A scream was heard so loudly that it reached the heavens.
Imperial Palace, Qianyuan Hall.
Two half-grown children were kneeling outside the temple gate.
There was already a huge noise inside.
The head of the Zhao family, Zhao Heran, who had been granted the title of Duke Cheng'en, was kneeling in the main hall, filled with righteous indignation.
"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince is indeed your biological son. If you have any doubts, you can use a blood test to prove your kinship. Please, Your Majesty, make the decision. We must not allow this son and grandson of your majesty to be assassinated by thieves for no reason!"
"Mr. Cheng'en's words are false. Please forgive me, Old Jiang, for not agreeing with them."
Duke Ling also knelt down immediately.
"Your Majesty, I don't know whether the Sixth Young Master of the Zhao Family is the lost prince. But I do know that he suddenly appeared on horseback and committed a crime, nearly killing the Fourth Prince!
My daughter fought bravely against others despite her fragile body in order to protect the Fourth Prince. How can she be considered a thief? She is clearly loyal!"
He did not foolishly argue that his daughter did not do anything cruel. After all, even the imperial doctors had come to report that the boy's life was in danger.
Duke Cheng'en glared at him angrily.
"Don't try to make excuses with your sweet words. When I got there, I clearly heard the Sixth Prince reveal his identity. Yet, your daughter ignored him and deliberately killed him. How can this be justified?"
"The truth is, my daughter is not stupid!"
The Duke of Ling argued for his rights.
"Someone suddenly appears out of nowhere and claims he's the Sixth Prince. So he is? Then if you say you're the Emperor Emeritus, does our Emperor have to kowtow to you?"
"You are such a fool, you are just a liar!"
"You idiot, you have no brains!"
The two men immediately fell out, cursing each other in the hall without giving in. Of course, at this moment, they really couldn't give in. Whoever gave in would die. Even if there was no reason, they had to force their way out!
The emperor sat on the dragon throne, his handsome face dark with anger. He slammed the table so hard that the pens, inkstones, and brushes all jumped in fright.
"Tell me, where did this so-called Sixth Prince come from?"
He pointed at Zhao Heran, the anger on his face clearly visible.
"How come I didn't know when the Queen gave birth to a little son and left him at Old Zhao's house?"
Zhao Heran paused, his face a troubled expression. He no longer cared about arguing with that rough fellow Jiang Huailiang. He turned to face the emperor and moved his mouth back and forth several times.
"Your Majesty, there is a hidden story behind this matter. I beg Your Majesty to withdraw your attendants and allow me to explain the entire matter."
Jiang Huailiang felt the emperor's gaze, and his fingers, tucked beneath his official uniform, trembled. But for the sake of his daughter's life, he pretended to be stupid, lowered his head, and knelt there motionless.
"Duke Ling..."
"I am here! Your Majesty, my daughter is still young and was quite frightened today. Please allow me to take her home and give her two bowls of medicine to calm her nerves."
He bowed deeply, his meaning very clear. You can let me go, but you must let me take my daughter back with me.
This is obviously between the emperor and someone from the Zhao family. I don’t even want to listen to any of their nonsense, Old Jiang!
If he, the father, had not happened to be here today, and that bastard surnamed Zhao had taken his daughter into the palace, wouldn't his child have suffered a great loss?
"Your daughter severely injured the Sixth Prince. This is a crime of treason! Don't even think about it..."
"You fart!"
Jiang Huailiang angrily suppressed the other party's intention to accuse him.
"I just said that my child is loyal. He took action in a desperate situation to protect the Fourth Prince from being hurt by the assassin!
She was just a little girl and had just come to the capital from the countryside a few days ago. How could she know what was disobeying her superiors and what was not?
Besides, what evidence do you have to prove that the young master is the emperor's biological son?"
The emperor nodded and asked with an unpleasant look on his face.
"Lord Cheng'en, what evidence do you have?"
"I am willing to guarantee it with my life and property!"
"Your guarantee is a fart! If you have evidence, show it to me. Otherwise, I'll sue you, Duke Cheng'en, for trying to confuse the royal bloodline. What are you trying to do?!"
