C62 Bloody Wash Palace (1/2)
A bloody battle was naturally unavoidable. Immediately, the sky was shrouded in a layer of haze.
King Rui was so proud that he couldn't control himself. The Dragon Throne was like a fishing knife.
Mingjin followed behind him without any expression on his face. He had no obsession with the throne, but his father wanted it. As his son, how could he not help?
Suddenly, Shangguan Wan appeared in front of Rui Wang, her slender fingers clutching his throat.
The father and son duo were shocked, ”You! How come you didn't die? ”
Shangguan Wan sneered, ”Of course I'm not dead. Not only am I not dead, even the officials sitting there aren't dead.”
As soon as his voice fell, the fallen ministers all stood up, their eyes blazing. King Rui's wolf ambitions were completely exposed.
Emperor Nanyan stood up and let out a heavy sigh. After that, he slowly said, ”I have always regarded you as my closest friend, the right-hand man of my side. But you actually did such a thing. It truly makes me disappointed.”
King Rui was not moved in the slightest when he heard this. Instead, he sneered disdainfully, ”Imperial Brother, do you think that just because you've said these words that are neither salty nor sour, younger brother will change his mind? You have been the emperor for too long, it is time for you to abdicate your position. In terms of scheming and handling the affairs of the imperial court, your brother will not lose to you! ”
Indeed, he was wise enough. Otherwise, he would not be able to create a good image in the hearts of the people.
Shangguan Wan's finger grew heavier, and Rui Wang felt pain in his throat.
Mingjin was about to step forward to save his father when Nangong Yu suddenly flipped over, the sword in his hand already resting on his neck.
”No matter what, you are not a match for me. Not in the past, and not now.” Nangong Yu was extremely conceited with these words. He didn't forget to laugh at his beloved wife.
In such a tense moment, only he, the Emperor Xuan Ye, would show his love.
”I have really underestimated you in the past.” Emperor Nanyan was so angry that he vomited blood. As the saying goes, one doesn't know the face, but one doesn't know the heart. His most treasured younger brother would actually fall to his death on the day of his birthday.
King Rui coldly snorted, not saying a word.
His original plan was to poison everyone to death and have a true change of dynasty. Since all the foreign ministers and officials of other countries were dead, this was nothing much. When the time came, he could just blame it on NATO.
What a flawless plan. The Nato soldiers invading Nanyan was something the people had witnessed with their own eyes, and the envoys dying in Nanyan was, of course, a masterpiece of Nato.
How could those ignorant people believe that their beloved King Rui had anything to do with it? After that, it was only natural for him to inherit the throne, because the Emperor had already lost a son to the throne.
He had even thought about what would happen after he ascended the throne. It was perfectly justified for him to gather the powers of all the countries to attack NATO and avenge the dead.
Three birds with one stone, took the throne, changed the court of old officials, except NATO.
But unfortunately, this plan was now obstructed.
”Royal sister, can you tell me more?” Mingjin had not been surprised by this result, the current Shangguan Wan was no longer the Shangguan Wan of the past, it was hard for mortals to fight a demon.
”When Rui Xiang's poisoning was exposed on the road to marriage, I knew that the mastermind behind her was not an ordinary person. This father's birthday is going to be a birthday, and there are too many people around, which provided you with a very good opportunity. So I had to be careful at all times.”
Shangguan Wan's thoughts went back to four hours ago.
At that time, she was in the imperial kitchens, watching as the court ladies busied themselves. She was afraid that there might be some kind of mistake that would give the evil people an opportunity to take advantage of her.
Fortunately, everything was normal and not a problem.
At this moment, a young eunuch unintentionally reminded her, ”I heard that Prince Lin loved to drink our Southern Yan Hundred Blossom Wine, and even said that he wanted to bring some back. It seems that Prince Lin really does have his own feelings for this.”
Another young palace maid nodded and replied, ”The Hundred Blossom Wine is a wine given by the palace. Naturally, it is highly favored.”
