Chapter 255 His leg is healed!
Everyone was so shocked by his aura that they all ignored the fact that the sentence behind it was not "Your Majesty" but "Your Highness".
Only Xiao Yuluan was standing inside, frowning slightly. Looking behind him, he saw that the old man had actually rushed in with a few personal soldiers!
King Wu was so frightened by the thunderous roar that he subconsciously retreated with Xiao Yuancheng in his arms. He held the imperial edict aloft with a fierce look on his face, but his heart was weak, and he screamed, "Stop! Everyone, stop right there! Father has written an edict, passing the throne to me! I am now the emperor!"
Xiao Yuancheng, who was being held in front of him as a shield, also saw Xue Chen at this moment. He struggled and whimpered for help as if he had seen a savior:
"Marquis Xue! Save me! Save me! He forced me to write the imperial edict! It doesn't count! It doesn't count!"
He also couldn't remember how he had treated Xue Chen.
Xue Chen didn't say anything, but just looked at Xiao Yuluan carefully to make sure she was safe.
King Wen and King Wu, who followed behind him, successfully confronted each other, "Father, don't panic, your sons are here to save you!"
Compared with King Wu, King Wen obviously cared more about his own reputation and tried to gain the throne by rescuing Xiao Yuancheng.
Xiao Yuancheng looked at King Wen with longing eyes, but this look angered King Wu. At this point, he knew that he was in great danger. Only one person had come, and there were still the fifth and sixth brothers behind him.
He really shouldn't have hesitated. He should have killed Xiao Yuancheng just now. King Wu suddenly tightened his grip on Xiao Yuancheng's neck and grabbed the big knife on the table with one hand, "You, don't come over here!"
As expected, King Wen was too cautious to take a single step forward. Xiao Yuluan, however, raised her hands in a worried manner, "Rebellious son, are you still going to make the same mistake?"
King Wu did not take Xiao Yuluan, a mere woman, seriously, not to mention that she was over sixty years old. Who would have thought that the next moment a crossbow arrow shot out from her sleeve and hit King Wu's arm with incredible accuracy through the gap in his armor.
"Ah——!" King Wu let out a shrill scream, and the big knife in his hand fell to the ground instantly.
Xiao Yuluan, who had been ready for a long time, suddenly moved closer and quickly twisted King Wu's hands behind his back. Even though King Wu was a young and strong man, he was no match for the experienced Xiao Yuluan.
Xue Chen on the other side also seized the opportunity and swept across with his long spear, wielding many of King Wu's men and knocking them down. The hall was once again plunged into chaos.
It all happened in an instant.
King Wen was stunned, but what shocked him even more was Xiao Yuancheng who was left aside. When he saw King Wu being subdued by Xiao Yuluan, his first reaction was not to run away but to pick up the big knife on the ground and chopped at King Wu without mercy.
In an instant, blood gushed out from the side of King Wu's waist that was not covered by armor, and half of the blade of the big knife that could cut through iron like mud was stuck in King Wu's body.
"I told you to force the emperor to abdicate! I told you to usurp the throne!"
Xiao Yuancheng looked like a madman, his eyes were bloodshot, and a crazy desire for revenge distorted by extreme fear and humiliation reappeared in his heart.
He roared and swung his heavy sword without any rules, slashing wildly at King Wu! Xiao Yuluan was so frightened that she let go of King Wu and took several steps back to avoid being accidentally injured.
"Rebellious son! Beast! I am your father! How dare you force me! How dare you point a knife at me! I will kill you! Kill you!"
If it were half a quarter of an hour ago, King Wu would never have been killed by Xiao Yuancheng in this way, but the crossbow arrow in his sleeve directly penetrated his upper arm, and the pain of the broken bone was piercing, and Xiao Yuancheng's knife even cut directly into his kidney.
Blood gushed out like a fountain. Under the double injury, the King of Wu, who had once fought bravely on the battlefield, actually fell at the hands of a sickly old man.
Every time Xiao Yuancheng's sword fell, it brought up a puff of warm blood, splashing on his old and twisted face and bright yellow dragon robe, making him look particularly hideous and terrifying.
This bloody and crazy scene shocked everyone in the hall!
The emperor swung his sword at his son again!
King Wen should have been happy when he saw King Wu covered in blood and almost dead, but after witnessing all this, he could not smile at all.
It was not until Xiao Yuancheng was exhausted, stopped panting, and staggered back with his knife, looking at the bloody and dying King Wu on the ground, that he seemed to wake up from a dream. A trace of confusion and fear flashed across his face, and then it was replaced by a twisted pleasure.
"Hehe...hehe...it's better to die...it's better to die..." He muttered to himself, threw away the blood-stained sword, his body shaking.
Only then did Bai De'an dare to step forward tremblingly and support him.
People's potential is unlimited when they are angry, but once they stop, they will be instantly deflated. Xiao Yuancheng felt dizzy and weak in his legs. The wound on his shoulder that had not yet healed was painful again.
Everyone's hearts, which had not yet relaxed, were tense again. Could it be that the emperor could no longer hold on?
King Wen, who was panic-stricken and frightened just now, was now excited by the temptation of the throne. He hurriedly hinted to Xue Chen, hoping that Xue Chen would speak for him.
Xue Chen also did as he wished and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty is in poor health. Please leave your will as soon as possible."
This sentence immediately made Xiao Yuancheng spit out blood again, but at this moment he had to admit that if he did not establish a crown prince, there would probably be trouble in the future.
Prince Wen immediately stepped forward, his face adorned with just the right amount of worry and consideration. "Father, it would be best if you could take care of your own health first. Where's the imperial physician? Let him take a look first."
The sounds of fighting outside were growing quieter. It was clear that King Wu's men were on the verge of being wiped out. He was the first to come to the rescue, the oldest prince. Wasn't it his turn yet? Now all he had to do was coax his father into submission...
After saying that, King Wen helped Xiao Yuancheng to the couch. When he passed by King Wu, who was still bleeding and about to die, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, thinking that only a reckless man would think of forcing the emperor to abdicate.
Just as King Wen was thinking about how to trick the emperor into passing on the throne and the imperial edict, and even the smug curve at the corner of his lips had not yet completely disappeared -
The sound of horse hooves came from outside the hall, followed by the neighing of a BMW. A man in silver armor stained with blood and holding a long sword strode into the hall.
The candlelight in the hall illuminated his silver armor. When he raised his head, he revealed a handsome face with bloodstains. His deep eyes were as sharp as lightning, which made everyone who looked at him stunned for a moment.
This is...Prince Zhao!
The man before him, radiating a solemn presence and looking like a veteran of battle, was actually Prince Zhao?!
His arrival was like dropping a drop of cold water into a frying pan that was about to solidify, instantly drawing everyone's attention to him.
The smile on King Wen's face froze instantly, and the hand supporting the emperor tightened unconsciously, and the alarm bells in his heart rang loudly.
Lao Liu?! How did he get here so fast?!
Were King Wu's subordinates outside eliminated so quickly? Shouldn't he have been dragged outside the palace?!
Xiao Yuancheng was also startled by the sudden sound and raised his blurry eyes. When he saw that Xiao Ji was intact despite being stained with blood, and even more imposing than before, a very complicated emotion flashed in his turbid eyes, including surprise, confusion, and even a hint of relief that he himself had not noticed.
However, as he approached Xiao Yuancheng step by step, people's eyes gradually shifted from his face to his legs.
Only then did they notice that this set of armor weighed at least dozens of kilograms, and Prince Zhao walked so steadily, and he was even riding a warhorse.
His leg is healed!
