Chapter 466 Disappointment

Leng Hong ignored him and said to Murong Heng.

"The late emperor passed away, and I came all the way to express my condolences. I came to Beijing without the emperor's permission. Please forgive me!"

Murong Heng looked at him.

"Come to express condolences, do you need to bring so many people?"

"I heard that the imperial city was in chaos, and that King Rui was treasonous and wanted to force a confession and commit rebellion. I specially brought troops to help the emperor, eliminate the rebels, and protect the country!"

The soldiers behind him raised their arms and shouted.

"Put out the traitors!"

"Rebel?"

Murong Yao turned his head and looked at Leng Hong with burning eyes: "Father-in-law, are you talking about me?"

"Murong Yao, you are treasonous, cold-blooded and cruel. Today I will kill you on Tian Xingdao's behalf and offer your head to the Emperor!"

Leng Hong drew his sword and pointed it at him.

The people behind him also drew their swords.

Murong Yao smiled sarcastically.

"If you do this, you won't consider Ruqing?"

"Shut up! You don't deserve to mention her!"

Leng Hong's hands trembled slightly.

Under Murong Yao's doubtful gaze, his eyes gradually turned red.

"Ruqing, she...she is dead."

Murong Yao looked at him and frowned.

"What are you talking about here?"

"Ruqing is in the East Palace. She is gone. She is dead... Do you know she is dead!?"

Leng Hong roared angrily, his eyes filled with sadness.

"It's you... Ruqing's death is all because of you!"

After saying that, Leng Hong roared angrily, went up with his sword and struck at Murong Yao.

The two fought together.

His moves were full of murderous intent, and Murong Yao, whose physical strength was exhausted, was unable to resist and his shoulder was scratched.

He took a few steps back, his eyes full of anger.

"Who told you that Leng Ruqing was dead? You were deceived by them!"

He didn't believe it.

When he met her last night, although she was not in good spirits, she had no thoughts of seeking death.

It must be some trick that Murong Heng used to drive a wedge between him and Leng Hong!

"Ah."

Leng Hong sneered, with endless sarcasm in his eyes: "Before coming here, I went to the East Palace, and I saw it with my own eyes...my daughter, she died in front of me..."

Leng Hong's expression was extremely sad.

"impossible!"

Hearing this, Murong Yao suddenly became a little excited.

He said sternly: "It must be a lie. I know Leng Ruqing. She is not someone who commits suicide like this. If she dies... she must have been framed. Her death must be man-made!"

"Who do Prince Rui think harmed her?"

Suddenly a gentle and cold voice came.

A plain skirt appeared at the corner.

Shen Ruoxi's dark cloud-like temples were pinned back by a hairpin. Although there were not too many decorations, she was innately dignified and dignified.

At this moment, she was being embraced by everyone and striding towards the Qiankun Hall.

When she met Murong Yao's gaze, her eyes were calm and cold.

"Who do you think was responsible for Ruqing's death? Is it the emperor or me?"

"If it weren't for you..."

"Of course not us!"

Shen Ruoxi interrupted him sharply: "Don't you know what Prince Rui himself did?"

There was a hint of anger in her voice.

"Ruoxi."

A gentle voice came from beside him.

Shen Ruoxi turned around and saw Murong Heng appearing beside her at some point.

He blocked her view slightly.

"Why are you here? The situation here is chaotic. You can rest assured in the East Palace."

When he said it, Shen Ruoxi realized that there were corpses everywhere here and the smell of blood was strong.

Perhaps because of her pregnancy, she felt a sense of nausea for a moment.

But she was soon suppressed.

"I'm fine. If Ruqing is gone, she has always wanted to ask Prince Rui something, and I want to ask it for her."

Hearing this, Murong Heng did not stop her, but stood beside her and gently hugged her.

There was a faint medicinal scent coming from his body, which made her feel better.

Her eyes returned to Murong Yao in the middle of the hall, and the warmth in her eyes instantly dissipated.

"Prince Rui, do you know how Ruqing died?"

Murong Yao didn't speak, but his eyes were dark.

Shen Ruoxi spoke slowly.

"She has lost the will to live, her inner despair has reached the extreme, and she no longer wants to struggle... In other words, she has lost all hope and feels that death is a kind of relief."

Murong Yao's expression froze for a moment, then he gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Is there anything worth her giving up on?"

"Because she knew the truth about her miscarriage."

Shen Ruoxi looked at him intently: "I want to ask you on behalf of Ruqing, was it you who planned her miscarriage?"

"Ah."

Murong Yao sneered and subconsciously wanted to deny it.

But for a moment, Leng Ruqing's words that night appeared in his mind -

Murong Yao, promise me you will never lie to me in this life, okay?

The lie that was on his lips suddenly stopped.

Seeing his hesitation, Shen Ruoxi's eyes filled with anger.

"Really?"

"……not me."

Murong Yao finally spoke, but with a bit of trembling.

Shen Ruoxi's eyes showed disappointment.

"Ruqing really made a mistake. She gave up everything and chose you, but she didn't get any sincerity from you. No wonder she regrets it."

After saying that, she turned slightly and nodded towards Murong Heng.

"I've finished asking what I want to ask, and you can handle it next."

Then he took the people and prepared to go back.

Murong Yao's voice came from behind.

"and many more!"

Shen Ruoxi turned around and saw Murong Yao's expression was somewhat ferocious.

"You said...she regrets it?"

"Correct."

Hearing this, Murong Yao's handsome face suddenly turned gloomy.

"What does she regret? Even she wants to betray me? She was the one who chose me in the first place!"

Why should she regret it?

She clearly said that no matter what happened, she would stand by his side!

Shen Ruoxi said.

"She does love you unreservedly, so you can hurt her unscrupulously and even destroy her child with your own hands? Murong Yao, you are not worthy."

"Whose rumor did she believe that she thought it was me who harmed our child?!"

"Even now, you still refuse to admit it?"

Shen Ruoxi shook her head: "Murong Yao, I really look down on you!"

After saying that, she suddenly took out something from her sleeve.

Murong Yao took a closer look and found that it was a hat.

A bloody tiger head hat.

The poor embroidery work on it was very unique, and Murong Yao recognized it at a glance.

When he saw the hat, his breath froze and he almost couldn't hold the sword in his hand.

Shen Ruoxi's eyes were filled with pity.

"Ruqing values ​​this hat very much. She originally wanted it to be given to you, hoping that you would give up everything and fly away with her. However, you shouldn't be interested in it."

She put her hat away and turned to leave.

Murong Yao chased after him.

"Stop...give me your hat!"

He chased after him regardless.

He suddenly rushed towards Shen Ruoxi and wanted to grab it.

A figure flashed past.

Murong Heng flew over and kicked Murong Yao on the shoulder.

Murong Yao seemed to be a little distracted, and was completely unstoppable. He was kicked heavily and fell to the ground.

Just as he was about to get up, an Emperor's Sword was placed across his neck.

Murong Heng's eyes were stern and cold.

"Take people to the prison!"

"Yes!"

Cao Ruo immediately brought his men over, kicked the sword out of Murong Yao's hand, and then tied him up.

Murong Yao's handsome face was a little pale, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he remained silent.

With Murong Yao being taken away, Fei Shao and the others lost their will to fight and surrendered one after another.

When the front of the hall was almost cleared, Leng Hong strode forward and knelt on one knee.

"Your Majesty, I was deceived by a traitor and almost made a big mistake. I beg your Majesty to give me a chance to atone for my sins!"

Murong Heng slowly took back the Emperor's Sword.

"The opportunity for meritorious service is right in front of you. There are still King Rui's remaining troops in the city. If you lead people to put down these rebellions, I will forgive you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Leng Hong stood up slowly and swallowed his sadness forcefully.

"Your Majesty, Prince Rui...how are you going to deal with it?"

Murong Heng was silent for a while, and then spoke.

"I promised my aunt that if I win, I will spare King Rui's life."

Leng Hong was startled.

But Murong Heng turned around.

"But my aunt is no longer here. It doesn't seem to make any difference whether I keep my word or not."
