Chapter 448 Cause and Effect

The storm in Murong Yao's eyes was raging, but it calmed down instantly.

He raised his eyes coldly.

"What the prince said is really ridiculous!"

Murong Heng took in all his expressions.

Sure enough, Murong Yao knew his true identity.

"My aunt told me that she would give you a fiefdom outside the capital, so that you could stay away from the capital and become an idle prince. What do you think?"

Murong Heng suddenly spoke.

His narrow eyes held a hint of casual scrutiny.

For Su Liuer's sake, this was the last chance he gave him to escape unscathed.

Murong Yao squinted his eyes, but he seemed to have heard something extremely funny.

"The capital is so prosperous, how could I leave?"

Stubborn.

There was a hint of coolness in Murong Heng's eyes, and then he spoke slowly.

"If you don't want to leave, then go back to your Prince Rui's mansion and don't get in your way here!"

"I want to see my father."

He wanted to see it with his own eyes. He wouldn't feel at ease unless he saw Emperor Renjing's current state with his own eyes.

Murong Heng ignored him.

He just ordered the guards next to him.

"Take Prince Rui down."

As he finished speaking, he saw that several guards on the side did not move.

Murong Yao stood on the spot and glanced at Murong Heng indifferently.

But he smiled.

"Prince, I just want to fulfill my filial piety in front of my father's bedside, and I ask His Highness the Crown Prince to do so."

Murong Heng said nothing.

Just the next second, Liang Wei, the infantry colonel of the East Palace, led his men to protect Murong Heng.

Not far away, when all the courtiers saw this scene, their hearts were filled with doubts.

Is this situation going to turn against you?

It’s a little too sudden!

As soon as this thought came to an end, another group of people appeared around him.

The leading man is tall and tall, with an elegant temperament.

It was Qin Chengxuan.

He looked at Murong Heng and Murong Yao and said slowly.

"Prince, Prince Rui, the emperor is seriously ill now and needs to rest. Please put your personal grudges aside for the time being and don't disturb the emperor's rest in front of the palace."

As he said that, he looked at Murong Yao.

"Your Highness Prince Rui, please come back!"

Murong Yao turned to look at him, with a slightly sinister look on his face.

"When did the always loyal and brave Wu Dinghou also defect to the East Palace?"

"Your Highness, be careful! I am loyal to the emperor with all my heart. Now the emperor is seriously ill and cannot afford it. As the commander of the imperial army, I have the responsibility to maintain the order of the imperial city!"

Qin Chengxuan landed with a sound.

Murong Yao just said.

"There was also a situation in the previous dynasty when the emperor was seriously ill. At that time, several veterans assisted the prince and discussed state affairs together. I think this is more appropriate."

Qin Chengxuan was about to speak, but was interrupted by Murong Heng.

He glanced at the group of ministers not far away.

"Who wants to assist Gu in governing?"

Everyone looked at each other, no one dared to say a word.

Murong Yao said slowly: "Prime Minister Lu has a high position and is very talented. I think he can help the prince to share his worries."

Hearing this, Lu Hui could only stand up.

"I am willing to serve the prince!"

"I think that Prime Minister Lu is too old to discuss matters in the court, so I gave Prime Minister Lu a thousand taels of gold to support him in his old age."

Prime Minister Lu's expression changed drastically.

Is this asking him to resign? !

What a joke, he managed to get to where he is today, and he is not even fifty yet. How could he be kicked out of the court at this time? !

"Your Highness, the affairs of the state are heavy, and I am afraid that I may not be able to do anything at all. I am willing to help you!"

Lu Hui's voice was filled with displeasure: "Your Majesty is just seriously ill now, and has not given any instructions for Your Highness to succeed to the throne. Your Highness's monopoly on power is really easy to arouse people's suspicion."

Hearing this, Wan Gan immediately said sharply.

"Bold! How dare you be disrespectful to His Highness the Crown Prince!? How can the Emperor issue a verbal order like this? Prime Minister Lu, you are using strong words to make excuses!"

What this means is that Murong Heng is going to usurp the throne.

He can't let this guy talk nonsense here!

Murong Heng put one hand behind his back.

Just chuckled.

"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with a drink."

The moment he finished speaking, Leng Ye's figure flashed beside him, surprisingly fast!

Only the sound of the sword being unsheathed was heard.

Prime Minister Lu stood there and paused slightly.

Everyone opened their eyes wide and saw a red blood mark on Prime Minister Lu's neck, and then blood splashed out suddenly.

Prime Minister Lu staggered and fell to the ground with a thud.

"what!"

Someone in the crowd made a panicked sound.

Leng Ye fell back to Murong Heng, his face expressionless.

There was a moment of surprise in Murong Yao's pupils.

Then came the surge of anger.

"Prince, Prime Minister Lu is an important minister of the country, but you kill indiscriminately like this!?"

Murong Heng ignored him at all, with a dull look on his handsome face.

It's terrifyingly bland.

"Who else has something to say?"

A dead silence.

He looked at Murong Yao with a chilling look in his eyes.

"Go back by yourself, or let me do it myself?"

Murong Yao looked at him silently, his eyes dark.

In the sleeping hall.

Su Liu'er sat beside the bed, her faint eyes falling on Emperor Renjing's body on the bed.

His eyes were crooked and his mouth was slanted, his gaze was dazed, and drool was dripping from his mouth from time to time, making him look weak and embarrassed.

"The emperor can hear what I am saying."

Su Liuer's voice was light.

"The number of times I am alone with the emperor is not many. I am afraid this is the last time."

Hearing this, Emperor Renjing's eyes turned stiffly.

Su Liuer smiled.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will not kill you at this moment. After all, there is no need."

"I came to see you last time and wanted to ask you something, but you never saw me. Now no one bothers me anymore." She paused and then said, "Concubine De told me that my sister's death , it’s because of you, right?”

Emperor Renjing's chest rose and fell slightly, and he could only hear his heavier breathing.

"That's right. You can't speak now. It's useless for me to ask."

Su Liuer seemed to have just realized it, and smiled a little lonely.

When he raised his eyes again, there was a hint of coldness in them.

"You said you are such a hypocritical and coldhearted person. I thought you were sincere to your sister, but I didn't expect that you were the one who hurt her the most."

"You were afraid of the Su family, so you didn't want your sister to get pregnant. During the old prince's time, you forced me to enter the palace to coerce Su Sheng. Seeing that Heng'er was so talented, you trained him to compete with the Su family until Heng'er was fully fledged. , but you started to be wary of him again."

"You have spent your whole life in suspicion and suspicion. As a result, now you are the only one left with someone like me who doesn't love you. It's really sad."

Emperor Renjing's cheeks trembled slightly, but he still could not speak.

Su Liuer slowly tucked the quilt in for him.

"You have been guarding against it all your life, but what's the result? I still have a child with Su Sheng. I originally felt ashamed, but now I feel lucky. I'm glad I didn't get pregnant for a cold-blooded person like you."

Emperor Renjing's eyes were scarlet red, and the grief and anger in his heart reached the extreme.

Although I already knew the truth, hearing Su Liuer say it with my own ears, the insult and anger were overwhelming.

However, he could not utter a single word.

You can't even call her "slut".

He is clearly an emperor, and he clearly holds the highest power.

Now it is like fish on a chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.

Emperor Renjing forced tears into his eyes.

"The Emperor does not need to be so excited."

Su Liu'er stretched out her hand and slowly wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes: "As the saying goes, karma is retribution. You have understood Taoism for so many days, but haven't you realized such a simple truth?"

"This is the cause you planted, so you deserve this result."

She stood up and glanced at Emperor Renjing coldly.

Then he turned his head and showed a bitter smile.

"Now, it's time for me to go out and face my own karma."

The wide sleeves swept across the edge of the bed, and Su Liuer's footsteps gradually faded away.
