The battle cry froradually becoer and bigger that illu leisurely strolled in the large hall and walked towards the Imperial throne step by step When he passed by Su Wan, he paused for awith a s on the Imperial throne looked deeply at the Fifth Prince who he was never fond of After being silent for a long ti: “For this seat, would you kill your Father E halted his footsteps and looked at Xuan Yuan Po with a sneering face: “Since you’ve calmly let me be beheaded, then why am I not allowed to kill you? When you killed me at that time, did you even faintly care about our father and son relationshi+p?”
Xuan Yuan Po did not speak He just deeply looked at Xuan Yuan Qing as before Right now, he was still hoping for someone to come to his rescue in his heart After all, there were still a lot of defense soldiers outside the I could fall the I any coth alone
“Father E for? Defense soldiers? Or your royal shadow guards?”
Speaking till here, Xuan Yuan Qing suddenly lifted his eyes and gazed at Head Steward Anping (as in-charge of internal affairs) as always guarding beside the Ihten you on the answer?”
Anping?
Xuan Yuan Po’s gaze sharply turned to Anping who stood at the side The always suber concealed himself at this moment and quickly walked down the steps and kneeled at Xuan Yuan Qing’s feet: “Your Majesty, this is the Hufu to maneuver the defence soldiers and the secret injunction to utilise the hidden guards of the royal fa! It turned out to be you!”
At this moment, Xuan Yuan Po finally knew that he was betrayed by his most trusted confidant Because his emotions were stirred up, the poison attacked his heart and he suddenly spit a large mouthful of black blood
In the past life, Xuan Yuan Qing was also the unfavoured Fifth Prince but in the end, he sat on the Imperial throne Besides his own forbearance and wisdom, he also had a lot of support froreatest assistance was froht in the middle of the Imperial City, who he coordinated outside and inside offensives with
In the past life, Xuan Yuan Rui’s faction had fallen from power at an earlier ti’s people but regarding this matter, Su Wan was very clear on it 。
This was the most common betrayal in the I betrayal
Now, the atmosphere in thewas afraid that no one kne cold-blooded he was, so he suddenly took the sword frouard behind hiht of stairs step by step, and pointed the sharp sword at Xuan Yuan Po’s chest
Xuan Yuan Po had been aaloof and remote but at this an to panic and be scared: “Qing er, Father Eive… ”
The word “you” has not yet been said when Xuan Yuan Qing’s sword pierced through Xuan Yuan Po’s body
Since he’s already walked the path of a renegade, Xuan Yuan Qing did not look for a justification but tonight, he must leave a mark in everyone’s heart He wanted everyone to treat him with reverence and respect [Blu: Lol, he on a power trip His thoughts are quite practical though]
“Father E the blood stained sword, Xuan Yuan Qing kept sged the sword, the blood dripped drop by drop down the Iazed at the people in the main hall: “Is there anyone else ishes to accompany the late Emperor? Zhen has already succeeded him!” [Blu: Zhen = way to refer to self (iinalair Su Wan took the opportunity to tilt her body to size up Xuan Yuan Rui as in the middle of the crowd At this ly
At the ’s voice fell, there were finally a few figures in the hall that could not help but rush out, one of which was Su Yu Feng
“Brazen renegade! Still don’t quickly accept death!”
A few patriotic and loyal Generals, at Su Yu Feng’s lead, suppressed the poison by force and rushed to Xuan Yuan Qing Xuan Yuan Qingdown the usually aloof Generals to the floor, without exception
Seeing their furious and unbearable appearance, Xuan Yuan Qing kicked down Xuan Yuan Po’s dead body from the Imperial throne, and as if there were no one else present, he sat on the chair He contemplated as he swept his eyes over everyone present and finally landed on Su Wan’s body
“Su Wan biao mei, this poison of yours is really ferocious”
Su Wan glanced at Xuan Yuan Qing, and in front of the incredulous gazes of the people present, Su Wan got up: “No matter hoerful the poison, it would be useless without Steward An’s help”
“Xiao Wan!”
“Xiao Wan!”
Su Yu Feng, as on the floor, and Physician Si, as seated not far away, shouted at Su Wan to halt, their voices carrying vibrato 。
Su Yu Feng did not dare to believe that his own daughter would collude with a renegade, and Physician Si’s gaze was completely focused on Su Wan This kind of co and denouncing her
“Currently, what I’ in nored Su Yu Feng and Physician Si’s gaze She gazed indifferently at the people present: “Only need all of you to willingly swear loyalty to His Majesty and you can get the antidote or even a pro to declare where you stand, then I can very sincerely send you underground to vow loyalty to His Majesty!”
As the voice of Su Wan fell, the atain
Xuan Yuan Qing’s rebellion was obviously successful, His Majesty was also dead What else can they do?”
Does one continue to be a loyal minister who is not afraid of death, or…
In the main hall, some people’s heart beat faster while some people hesitated, but no one dared to be the first person to speak
“You all only have half an incense stick’s worth of time to think it over!”
Su Wan waved her hand and Anping iht up an incense stick
Even though they were pressured, no one wanted to be the one to stand out but seeing that there was less and less time left, someone finally couldn’t bear it any Once there was a first person, there would be a second In a blink of an eye, half of the people kneeled in the middle of the main hall, and the incense stick happened to burn out at this time
“Anyone else?”
Su Wan looked around once again and paused her gaze on the re’s brothers and some royal family members, the rest of the people were truly loyal officials
“It should be just these?” Su Wan turned her head and glanced at Xuan Yuan Qing Xuan Yuan Qing nodded his head
“You all have missed the last opportunity”
Su Wanthat, she opened the medicine bottle in her hands and put the antidote in the hands of those people who came over Those officials and their families impatiently thanked her and sed down the antidote [Blu: Why do I feel like this is a trap? Su Wan definitely isn’t this kind! sweats]
Su Wan’s lips finally exposed a little bit of a smile and that smile was taken note of by Physician Si who paid attention to her each and every move Physician Si took a deep breath and a wonderful expression appeared on his face This s the title of Eht now, Xuan Yuan Qing’s roup of people in the hall who refused to ad them were his other brothers
These few people were also clever They knew that whatever the case, he would not let the in their original places with ugly expressions and looked face to face at Xuan Yuan Qing [Blu: Wow, it’d be so absolutely extreht now to ruin yourto assist Zhen, so Zhen is forced to…”
“Wait ato order the iuards, a voice suddenly interrupted hih he was talking to Xuan Yuan Qing, his eyes were looking straight at Su Wan: “Fifth Prince, can I ask the xiao Junzhu a question?”
En?
Xuan Yuan Qing did not care about how Physician Si addressed him In fact, he didn’t really want Physician Si’s life Physician Si was a talented person and also had deep affection for Su Wan He is a person that can be exploited and there was a chance to force him into submission
“Si Daren, do as you like!”
Xuan Yuan Qing could already guess what Physician Si wanted to ask Su Wan Actually, Xuan Yuan Qing was also curious how Su Wan would reply Physician Si Could she convince Physician Si to swear loyalty to him or not ne?
Step by step, Physician Si sloalked and stood before Su Wan Looking straight at her eyes, both people silently looked at each other for a good while
Until he saw Su Wan, as standing in front of hihtly rub her shoulders because she was unwell due to standingPhysician Si finally started to slowly talk: “Xiao Wan, assisting Fifth Prince to rebel, was it voluntary?”
Hearing Physician Si’s words, Su Wan gave Physician Si a quick glance and subconsciously looked down at Su Yu Feng as lying at one side with blood at the side of his mouth
“Of course, it…”
Su Wan’s voice paused for a while and immediately replied in a louder voice: “Was not voluntary!”
“Su Wan!”
Xuan Yuan Qing on the Dragon Throne looked at Su Wan with a terrible expression on his face He was thinking about what the roup of elite troops suddenly rushed into the roup!
“Xuan Yuan Qing, you coicide and killed your father, everyone will be put to death!”
A low voice sounded from within the crowd and in front of everyone’s indescribably astonished eyes, the Fourth Prince Xuan Yuan Ye who never showed the mountain and never revealed the water (to hide key facts) stood up with a peaceful expression
This is……
Just when Xuan Yuan Qing was shocked, an unexpected incident happened in the main hall The complexion of those officials who just ate the antidote went purple and started foa at the mouth, one went down after another
To call this many twists and turns would be barely acceptable
Physician Si looked at Su Wan and then looked at the rasp: “The contents of the ht?”
Su Wan declined to co in her hands was poison Su Wan had actually snuck the true antidote into the spice of the incense that was burnt
“Su Wan!”
Xuan Yuan Qing looked at Su Wan with eyes full of hatred Until now, he still didn’t dare to believe it He was actually played by the weak and haraze, Su Wan had an innocent appearance: “Fifth Prince, you used Su Rui’s life to threaten me I was forced to compromise with you but I didn’t expect you to actually harm His Majesty You truly are terrible! If…if I had known earlier that you wanted to har and I also would not compromise with you!”
With these few sentences, Su Wan cleanly reardless of whether other people believed her or not, it’s fine as long as she believes in herself
As expected……
Hearing Su Wan’s excuse, Xuan Yuan Qing’s heart/hly cooled down
Su Wan was always deceiving him Su Wan’s true partner was actually…
“Fourth Imperial Elder Brother, you really hid deeply and didn’t show yourself a!”
Xuan Yuan Qing looked back and forth between Su Wan and Xuan Yuan Ye, his sharp gaze gradually dimmed down: “I’ve lost I admit”
…………
It’s said that the country cannot be without an Emperor not even for a day, so after the Imperial City was controlled by Xuan Yuan Ye’s troops, the ministers who survived accepted their fate and elected Xuan Yuan Ye as the new Emperor!
Three days later, the new E and his acco and Ye Zhi Jin were hung above the noon gate to frighten thieves and robbers This tiain
In the wake of the enthroneest purging and reorganization since the beginning to history Soon afterwards, several other princes were charged with different accusations Some were sent far away, soed with even more serious crimes were immediately sentenced to be beheaded in public by the Imperial Court of Justice!
These denounced princes naturally included Xuan Yuan Rui, except that he wasn’t dead He was put under house arrest in the courtyard where imperial families were imprisoned This place was even more desolate and deserted than the cold yuan that Su Wan used to stay in The whole courtyard did not have a single attendant Except for Xuan Yuan Rui, there was only Ye Zhi Hua as io out fro in luxury and didn’t have any palacetime, Xuan Yuan Rui became more and more irritable Ye Zhi Hua could only bear it alone
The second month after Xuan Yuan Rui was iuest The guest was the inner servant in the Imperial City He delivered some dress fabrics and exquisite pastry It is said that it was specially bestowed down because His Majesty was going to hold a grand ceremony to confer a seal/title to the Eether At first, Xuan Yuan Rui did not care about what the inner servant said until the inner servant handed Xuan Yuan Rui the E Only then did Xuan Yuan Rui’s coed
It turned out that the Empress that Xuan Yuan Ye wanted to marry was Su Wan!
In fact, Xuan Yuan Rui was the last person to hear the news Right now, the entire capital already knew marry Su Wan as his Empress The entire Su fu swept away the haze fro with a new lease of life
