Jing Rong is dead?
Qi Zhen Emperor paled.
The Imperial Duke saw that Jing Xian was hesitant and said, "Jing Xian, why are you still talking so much? As long as you swing the knife in your hand, everything will be over. You and I have waited so many years for this day! If you hesitate like this, how can you be the Emperor of Great Lin in the future? "
Provoke him!
Hearing this, Jing Xian clenched his fists, his face full of murderous intent.
The courtiers shouted, "Imperial Prince Xian, don't! What you're doing is treason. "
Stop him!
He made up his mind and prepared to act.
Zhang Quan knelt on the ground, "Your Highness, you can't do this! That year, His Majesty had no choice but to act. The cause was the Imperial Duke! It was … "
"Zhang Quan!" Qi Zhen Emperor roared, "You are not allowed to speak!"
"Your Majesty, we can no longer hide it." Zhang Quan ignored him and said to Jing Xian, "That year, it was the Imperial Duke who roped in Consort Ming and Secretary Chen with the intention of rebelling. When His Majesty found out, he had no choice but to kill them!"
"Nonsense!" Jing Xian didn't believe him.
"This old servant is not lying."
Jing Xian shook his head. "Impossible, my Imperial Mother and Uncle would never rebel!" The Imperial Duke stepped forward and shouted, "Jing Xian, what are you waiting for? Listen to this old eunuch spout nonsense. You saw with your own eyes how your Imperial Mother died and heard with your own ears that it was your Imperial Father's decree. What are you hesitating for? As long as you kill him, you will be the future Emperor of Great Lin.
If you are too softhearted, you will be the one to die. "
Jing Xian was so agitated that his whole body trembled.
He gripped the dagger tightly, his brows furrowed, ready to cut Qi Zhen Emperor's neck.
At this critical moment, a stone flew from afar and hit Jing Xian's elbow, causing his fingers to lose strength. His grip loosened and the dagger fell to the ground.
Before he could react, a figure leaped out from the crowd and struck Jing Xian's shoulder.
It was a strong blow!
Jing Xian tumbled in pain and fell awkwardly to the ground. He raised his head to look at the newcomer.
Shock!
"Jing … Jing Rong?"
Wasn't he dead?
At this moment, Jing Rong was dressed in a soldier's armor. His figure was outstanding, his expression was fierce, and his whole body exuded a cold aura.
At the same time when Jing Rong jumped out, a lot of 'spies' appeared among the Chen Jiabing that were originally surrounding them. These 'spies' quickly beheaded the Chen Jiabing next to them.
Countless people fell to the ground.
The spies were all Jing Rong's men.
The situation suddenly changed.
Jing Rong shielded Qi Zhen Emperor behind him. He raised the sword in his hand and thrust it towards Jing Xian who was lying on the ground. He viciously said, "Zijin's life, it's your turn to pay for it."
"Huh?" Jing Xian looked at the sword that was right in front of him, but he was not afraid at all. He sneered, "If you have the ability, then kill me."
"Do you think I can't bear it?"
"At this moment, what is there that you cannot endure?"
He laughed.
Jing Rong tried his best to restrain the anger in his heart. If the sword in his hand had moved a centimeter further, he would have been dead.
But —
In the end, he endured it and ordered the imperial guards to grab him from the ground and hold him firmly, not allowing him to move.
At this moment, the Imperial Duke looked around and saw that he was surrounded.
Jing Rong said, "Imperial Uncle, you didn't expect this, did you?"
He laughed heartily, "It's good that you're not dead. Today, all of you will die here."
"It's not too late if you stop now!"
"Stop? Jing Rong, oh Jing Rong. Do you know that there is an army of a hundred thousand at the foot of Ji Mountain? As long as I give the order, they will attack Ji Mountain. " The Imperial Duke pointed at Qi Zhen Emperor. "Take a good look at the person behind you. He is also the person who killed your mother."
Sowing discord.
"What did you say?!"
"Do you still not understand?" The Imperial Duke's expression was sinister. "Do you know how your Imperial Mother died? Ask the person behind you, ask him how your Imperial Mother died. "
Consort Zhao was imprisoned in the Cold Palace on the charge of murdering a prince. Not long after, she went crazy and committed suicide by hanging herself the next day.
Jing Rong frowned and turned to look at his imperial father. "What does he mean?"
Questioning.
Qi Zhen Emperor wanted to say something but hesitated.
"My Imperial Mother … didn't she die in the Cold Palace?"
Qizhen Emperor sighed, his wrinkled face scrunched up. He knew he couldn't hide it any longer. After a long while, he finally said, "Your Imperial Mother … did not murder the prince. It was We who charged her with a crime and banished her to the Cold Palace."
Ah!
Jing Rong was shocked. His grip loosened and he almost lost his grip on the sword.
Qi Zhen Emperor sighed and explained, "In short, what happened back then was not what you think. We … We had no choice."
"You had no choice but to kill my Imperial Mother? What crime did he commit to make you so cruel? "
"…"
The Imperial Duke sneered inwardly and continued to sow discord. "Jing Rong, the Imperial Father you call 'Imperial Father' and the Emperor you swore your loyalty to, he is your and Jing Xian's enemy. You should have killed him!"
Zhang Quan said, "Prince Rong, you must not listen to the Imperial Duke's words."
"Then what is the truth?"
It was a scandal!
A scandal that Qi Zhen Emperor did everything he could to cover up.
Under Jing Rong's interrogation, should he speak or not?
The Imperial Duke said, "Jing Rong, kill him!"
Kill him!
Jing Rong's hands trembled as he gripped his sword. Veins popped on his forehead and the back of his hands. He glared fiercely at his Imperial Father's helpless face, hatred surging in his heart.
Finally, he raised the sword in his hand.
It slowly stabbed towards Qi Zhen Emperor.
Behind him, the Imperial Duke was like a hungry wolf. His eyes revealed a frightening murderous intent, waiting to see Jing Rong kill that dog of a Emperor.
However …
Jing Rong suddenly changed his direction, turned around, and pointed his sword at the Imperial Duke.
Ah!
"Imperial Duke, today is the day you die." Jing Rong's eyes darkened.
"You …"
"I have already given you a chance."
The Imperial Duke was furious. "You could have avenged your mother, but you chose to be an unfilial son. Your mother will not be able to rest in peace in the underworld."
"Enough!"
"The Emperor's hands are stained with blood. He has killed so many people. He should have died a long time ago, but you are still helping him. Jing Rong, don't be silly. If you protect him today, he will kill you in the future."
Just as he finished speaking …
A voice came from the crowd. "Imperial Duke, even now, you are still trying in vain to distort the truth."
A woman's voice!
Hearing the voice …
Ji Yunshu walked out with Shi Ziran, Lin Shu, and Shang Zhuo by her side.
Jing Rong was shocked. "Why are you here?"
"To expose someone's true colors."
She was obviously referring to the Imperial Duke.
She looked at Qi Zhen Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, if you can't talk about what happened in the past, then let this subject do it for you."
Qi Zhen Emperor was stunned. "Lord Ji …"
"Now that things have come to this, there is no need for Your Majesty to hide it. The truth will be revealed to the world sooner or later. No matter how hard you try to hide it, you can't hide it."
Qi Zhen Emperor looked around at the Imperial Duke, then at his own officials …
