A few days later, the Princess' palace was decorated with lanterns and streamers.
Su Fang was following Wang Fu through the corridors of the palace. There were eunuchs who were cleaning the corridors and plastering them with gold dust.
"Wang Fu really is cunning. He didn't even tell me how many of these eunuchs are King Yue's people." Looking at the palace maids and eunuchs, Su Fang was very cautious.
Zhao Ziba, who had become the Emperor's son-in-law, would come to visit the Princess every day. He was using this opportunity to arrange a large number of people in the Imperial Palace.
He also privately brought King Yue's orders to thank Su Fang for helping him. Whether or not the plan to kill the dragon was successful, he would be groomed to become an important person in the Zhao Country.
Zhao Ziba thought that this would be enough to bewitch Su Fang. He thought that Su Fang was just a small person who could be manipulated by him and King Yue.
Three days later
In the Princess' palace, the palace maids and eunuchs were all wearing red.
The imperial concubines, whether they were the Emperor's concubines or the princes' concubines, all came early in the morning to help the Princess. There were also many unmarried girls from the imperial family who came early in the morning to watch the fun.
The Princess' Imperial Residence had long been packed to the brim. There were three layers of people inside and outside.
"Young master, we'll take action in the Princess' palace tonight. According to the imperial family's rules, the Princess must spend the night in the Imperial Palace on the first night of her marriage. The Emperor's son-in-law and the Princess will receive the Emperor's blessing and baptism. When the time comes, all of the Imperial Palace's princes, princesses, concubines, and eunuchs will be present.
"His Highness and eldest young master have already planned everything. Eldest young master will use his status as the Emperor's son-in-law to distract the surrounding guards. When the time comes, we'll follow you and attack the Emperor together. Then we'll leave behind a token to prove the murderer's identity."
Outside the crowd, there were many eunuchs and palace maids waiting in formation.
Wang Fu and Su Fang were also among them. The Imperial Prison was especially busy today, but Wang Fu was secretly on standby. It seemed that King Yue really wanted to get rid of the Emperor tonight.
Family members killing family members, internal strife.
The imperial banquet was held in front of the Imperial Palace's main hall. The court's civil and military officials all came to celebrate. Gifts were sent from all directions. Even Tianmen Province had sent gifts.
Palais des Princesses
Su Fang and some of the eunuchs remained inside the palace walls. Up to this point, Su Fang did not know how many of the King of Yue's men were here. In short, looking at the situation, there would be a change tonight.
"Shen Huangqi asked me not to kill the Emperor and shift the blame to King Yue. King Yue asked me to kill the Emperor and shift the blame to King Lang Jun!"
The sky gradually darkened as dusk fell. Golden halos of the sun shone down on the palace. Coupled with the splendor of the jewels, it was as if the palace was in a sea market.
The Dragon Slaying Plan was about to begin, and Su Fang knew that this was the best opportunity for him to take revenge and deal with the State of Zhao. If he took this opportunity, not only would he be able to destroy the State of Zhao, but he would also be able to take revenge for his father and kill King Yue.
Night fell, and soon, there was a huge commotion outside the palace.
A large number of palace maids and eunuchs protected the princess and Zhao Ziba as they returned to the temporary imperial residence. The servants began to prepare for the arrival of the emperor, imperial concubine, and princes.
"Second brother, today is the day for us to do something big. This is a Magic Light Pill, a peerless pill that can circulate the magic energy in your divine aperture. With this pill, if something goes wrong, second brother can be guaranteed to leave through this secret passage."
Taking advantage of the time gap, Zhao Ziba arrived at the back of the palace alone with Wang Fu as a cover. He met up with Su Fang under a large tree. Next to them was a fake mountain.
Zhao Ziba first took out a pill before activating a mechanism. A rock on the fake mountain moved aside, revealing a secret passage.
"Magic Light Pill, this is a legendary pill."
Su Fang examined the medicinal pill. He had heard of the Magic Light Pill before. This kind of medicinal pill was very rare. After consuming it, it could stimulate the magic power in one's divine acupoints that could not be used. It would allow one's strength to increase by at least twofold.
But after consuming it, although it could save one's life, it would be difficult for one to recover in a short time.
This was an immortal pill that overdrafted one's magic energy.
"The exit of this secret passage is outside the city. There are people waiting for second brother there. Tomorrow, second brother, godfather will join forces with me to attack the imperial palace. Once we take control of the imperial palace, second brother, you will have contributed greatly. In the future, the position of crown prince will be yours. You have to be careful."
Zhao Ziba once more bewitched him, especially when he saw Su Fang greedily staring at the Magic Light Pill. He smiled complacently and then sent a seal into the secret passage.
Whoosh!
Over ten black-robed people rushed out.
"Young master!" They all bowed to Zhao Ziba.
Su Fang looked over and saw that they were Mo Niang, Zhui Ming, and the other assassins from the Soulless Sect.
When they saw Su Fang, they were also shocked. After all, Su Fang had left for over a year. They had thought that Su Fang had run into some accident. They hadn't expected him to be hiding in the imperial palace.
"Everyone, listen to my orders. Stay calm." Zhao Ziba had them hide in the back courtyard while he left first.
"Liu Xing, it seems you've done well."
"That's right. Don't forget about us in the future."
Zhui Ming was very happy to see Su Fang again. In addition, Su Fang's relationship with Zhao Ziba was not ordinary, so they wanted to befriend him.
They also didn't know that Su Fang was already King Yue's godson. The Soulless Sect was under the control of Pulsatilla Weng, so it was impossible for them to know about the King's residence.
Looking at these people, Su Fang was stunned for a while before gathering everyone. "Everyone, listen to me. Mo Niang, do you know what today's mission is?"
"Assassinate the Emperor." Mo Niang whispered.
Su Fang continued, "Assassinate the Emperor. Did Pulsatilla Weng tell you that if you kill the Emperor, you will leave through this secret passage? He will also give you this Magic Light Pill."
Everyone was shocked. "How did you know?"
Su Fang said, "You're gravely mistaken. Killing the Emperor is easy, but leaving the Imperial Palace isn't easy. Think about it. If we kill the Emperor, we'll be able to live. Once we escape through this secret passage, someone will definitely ambush us at the exit and kill us to silence us. And this Magic Light Pill actually contains a very strange poison. You won't feel any symptoms when you take it, but after a few hours, you'll be poisoned. None of us will be able to live because someone wants to silence us."
"Are you joking?" Zhui Ming reacted. The others were like wooden blocks, breathing out cold air.
"Why would I lie to you? This Magic Light Pill contains a deadly poison. If you take it, you'll definitely die. Even if you don't take it, you'll still be ambushed and assassinated. King Yue will definitely let us leak the news. Today, we'll all die here, but we can still take a gamble. After assassinating the Emperor, we have to be united when we enter this secret passage. Only then will we be able to kill our way out. I also hope that I'm just spouting nonsense.
Su Fang also had to leave. As for these soulless people, Su Fang didn't want them to die without knowing why. If he let them live, they would also be able to assassinate King Yue in the future.
Imperial Residence
The Emperor had long since arrived. There were also princes, imperial concubines, and princesses. There were over twenty people from the imperial family, and Xiao Mei 'er was among them.
As the prince consort, Zhao Ziba was currently guarding the princess. The Emperor was currently giving his blessings to the newlyweds.
"Young master!"
Wang Fu led Su Fang into the main hall. As soon as he arrived, he exchanged glances with Xiao Mei 'er, then Zhao Ziba, and then some eunuchs.
"Congratulations, sister!"
The Emperor sat in the center. The princesses were currently offering wine and gifts to the Third Princess.
Zhao Ziba suddenly ordered the surrounding eunuchs, "Men, why haven't you accepted the gifts yet?"
Wang Fu and a few eunuchs, including Su Fang, approached the princesses and princes.
Seeing that Wang Fu, Su Fang, and the rest of the eunuchs were less than three meters away from the Emperor, Zhao Ziba suddenly bowed, "Many thanks, Emperor!"
"Kill!"
Su Fangda roared and turned around at the same time as Wang Fu, activating his magical item.
Hua hua!
The surrounding eunuchs and palace maids all became assassins, attacking the other princes and princesses.
"Rebellion!"
The Zhao Emperor suddenly stood up and activated his domineering aura. "Listen to my orders! Kill these evildoers!"
BOOM!
Just as the Emperor finished speaking, two magical items, one of which was the Spirit Snake Blade, collided with the aura released by the Emperor.
At the Emperor's waist, there was a jade pendant. The jade pendant released a terrifying defensive power, blocking Su Fang and Wang Fu's magical items. However, the Emperor was also shaken to the point of vomiting blood.
"Protect father!"
The Eighth Prince and the other princes were also ambushed. However, they were all at the Transcendent Realm, close to the Vast Dan Realm. The palace maids and eunuchs did not succeed.
"Help!"
The Imperial Concubines and princesses were scared out of their wits. How would they know to protect the Emperor?
At this time, at the front of the hall, an aura was protecting the Emperor. The surroundings were in chaos, but the Emperor still maintained his majestic aura. "Who sent you to assassinate me?"
Wang Fu took the opportunity to roar, "We are King Lang's men! We will kill you dog Emperor and help the Prince unify the Zhao Country!"
"King Lang, since you are so confident, you must have been sent by King Lang!" The Emperor was not a fool.
Peng!
At this time, Su Fang was purposely sent flying, and accidentally revealed a piece of golden cloth.
The Emperor's aura was incomparably powerful. When he saw the golden cloth, with his cultivation level, he immediately recognized the words on it. "What a good King Yue. I have treated you well, but you dare to disobey me. My son, listen to my orders. It was that King Yue who plotted against me. You must not let such a sinner go."
"I am not King Yue's man! I am, I am King Ming's man!" Su Fang steadied himself and pretended to panic, using King Ming as an excuse.
Mo Niang brought a few assassins with her. They were all Vast Dan Realm experts, and they charged towards the Emperor. "Kill the Emperor!"
"How can we let the Emperor know that it was Godfather who did this?" Zhao Ziba was protecting the Third Princess. He was already panicking, and he did not know what to do.
In the center, a dozen eunuchs, palace maids, and Mo Niang used their magical items to attack the Emperor's aura.
The Emperor spat out a few more mouthfuls of blood. "Prince, I have treated you well!"
Kacha!
The jade pendant on the Emperor's waist suddenly shattered.
The Emperor's aura was also shattered by a dozen magical items.
It was not easy to kill the Emperor. It was impossible to kill him with just one or two assassins. Only a dozen people with magical items could break the Emperor's amulet.
Boom!
Including Su Fang's Spirit Snake Blade, the magical items turned the Emperor, who was only at the Dharma Cave Realm, into meat paste in the blink of an eye.
"Retreat!"
After killing the Emperor, everyone turned and rushed towards the main palace.
"Kill the traitor! Save the Emperor! Save the Prince and the Princess!"
To everyone's surprise, the closed door of the princess' palace was smashed open by a force. King Lang brought Shen Huangqi and the other generals of the Zhao Kingdom in a ferocious manner.
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. King Lang used the information I got to save the Prince and became a hero. He won the Prince's favor and destroyed King Yue's evil plan with the Prince."
When King Lang appeared, most people saw him as their savior. Only Su Fang knew that he would not be able to escape easily today.
