The Prince of Yanping and others did not understand Xie Jingyan's actions.

But even though they didn't understand, it didn't stop them from helping Xie Jingyan save people.

Prince Ling must have his reasons for doing this.

They believed in King Ling.

King Cheng had an arrow stuck in his back. He tried hard to break free from Xie Jingyan's hand, but unfortunately he had no strength left. At the moment he fainted, Xie Jingyan exerted force with his arms and pulled King Cheng up.

The prince of Maoguo caught up and saw that King Cheng was unconscious. He said to Xie Jingyan, "King Ling, you are so brave that you dare to kill King Cheng?!"

Although he was the last to arrive, he saw Xie Jingyan shooting the arrow with his own eyes.

In order to kill the Xiliang assassin, he killed King Cheng as well, and then pretended to drag him up. How could this be considered saving people? !

The prince of Duke Mao got off his horse and was about to come over to demand an explanation, but as soon as he stepped forward, he was stopped by Du Cheng'an.

Really, the prince of Maoguogong even wanted to hit someone.

It would be fine if Du Cheng'an just hung out with the Prince of Yanping all day long, but since Prince Cheng was his biological uncle, he could just turn a blind eye to it.

The prince of Duke Mao said angrily, "Don't think that just because you are the son of Princess Huyang, the Queen Mother won't blame you!"

Xie Jingyan pulled King Cheng up, and the Prince of Yanping probed King Cheng's nose and said, "The breath is very weak..."

Prince Yeonpyeong's voice was trembling.

For killing the Queen Mother's own grandson, the Queen Mother would demand his life for his life. This was the Queen Mother's own son...

This is a big disaster.

If Prince Cheng's life cannot be saved, even the Emperor cannot protect Prince Ling.

Xie Jingyan squatted down, glanced at King Cheng's jaw, and with a pull, he tore off a human skin mask from King Cheng's face.

The accusatory and gloating look in the eyes of the Prince of Maoguo froze.

The Prince of Yanping was stunned.

"Not King Cheng?" Tang Ze said in disbelief.

Prince Yanping looked at Xie Jingyan, "How do you know he is fake?"

King Cheng had his acupuncture points pressed, but he didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Xie Jingyan said, "No matter how good a person's disguise skills are, they can't disguise their eyes."

This man has the same body shape as King Cheng, and his face is even harder to tell apart. Plus, the assassin was abducted from King Cheng's mansion, so no one would doubt that this is not King Cheng. But ever since Xie Jingyan ruined King Cheng's plans several times, King Cheng's eyes have hidden hostility when he looks at him. Plus, Queen Song was banished to the cold palace, so if Eunuch Yuan says it has nothing to do with him, the Queen Mother will believe it, but King Cheng won't.

A person who intends to rebel must have spies everywhere in the palace. When they see him, they will be eager to get rid of him.

Besides, all these assassins hiding in Wanxiang Pavilion knew to pack up and run for their lives, so how could King Cheng stay in the Cheng Palace? Even if the Queen Mother would protect him and not let the Emperor kill him, he would not be able to escape a life sentence, and King Cheng was not someone who would sit and wait for death.

When the Xiliang assassins were confronting the Prince of Yanping, Xie Jingyan suspected that King Cheng was a fake. When the Xiliang assassins abandoned the official road and ran to this small road, Xie Jingyan was certain that King Cheng was a fake.

He had been to this road a few years ago. He was demoted by the emperor to guard the imperial mausoleum. The boring, lonely and hopeless life made him feel worse than death. He galloped on his horse and ran to this path. Standing on the edge of the cliff, he once thought about jumping down to end it all.

The Xiliang assassin took King Cheng to the edge of a cliff. Once the fake King Cheng jumped down and died, King Cheng would really escape.

They chased after the Xiliang assassin until he was at the end of his rope and took King Cheng to be buried with him. The officials didn't know that King Cheng's death was not a pity and they would definitely ask the Emperor to punish them severely. The Queen Mother would regard them as thorns in her eyes and flesh.

This is also the reason why Xie Jingyan asked Du Cheng'an for a bow and arrow. He must not let King Cheng jump down.

Fortunately, the person was captured in time, disrupting King Cheng's plan to escape.

Tang Ze looked at the prince of Maoguo, "Prince of Maoguo, would you like to get closer to take a closer look? Is this King Cheng?"

The prince of Maoguo was so angry that he could not suppress his anger, but he had nothing to say.

What’s even more infuriating is that Prince Yeonpyeong picked up the fake King Seong and threw him directly onto Prince Maoguogong’s horse.

Fortunately, the prince of Duke Mao came along and witnessed with his own eyes the plan of "King Cheng" to fall off the cliff and escape from his shell. Otherwise, the Xiliang assassin would have kidnapped King Cheng and left the capital. The Xiliang assassin would have fallen off the cliff, and they would have brought back a fake body of King Cheng, so that no one would suspect that they had killed King Cheng and used the fake body of King Cheng to escape punishment.

The Queen Mother may not believe them, but the Prince of Duke Mao is her nephew from her mother's side, so the Queen Mother will not disbelieve them.

Xie Jingyan climbed onto the horse, and Lu Cheng asked curiously, "This is the fake King Cheng, so where is the real King Cheng?"

What Lu Cheng asked was also what Prince Maoguo wanted to know.

King Cheng actually had a substitute. The Xiliang assassin captured King Cheng's substitute. Why didn't King Cheng come out, but instead allowed the Xiliang assassin to take the substitute away from the capital?

Xie Jingyan suspected that Queen Song was banished to the cold palace yesterday, and the emperor imprisoned the left prime minister. Prince Cheng left the capital after receiving the news.

He ran away really fast.

Before the emperor made his crimes public, King Cheng fled for fear of punishment.

But it’s better to escape, because if you escape you won’t have to return to Beijing alive.

Hanyuan Hall.

The emperor is taking medicine.

Zhao Yuanzheng brought a calming medicine, and Eunuch Yuan handed it to the emperor. The emperor didn't say a word, but just picked it up and drank it all.

But the sound of the medicine bowl being put down was so loud that it was scary.

Especially Zhao Yuanzheng, thinking about how stupid he was yesterday and actually congratulating the emperor on being cuckolded, he was still able to keep the head on his neck overnight, which showed how kind the emperor was.

Yuan Zhao was carrying the medicine bowl and retreating.

As Zhao Yuan was walking away, a young eunuch hurried into the hall and reported, "Your Majesty, the King Cheng held hostage by the Xiliang assassin is a fake..."

The emperor's face darkened.

Eunuch Yuan asked, "Will he really become king?"

After asking, Eunuch Yuan realized that his question was nonsense.

Is that even a question?

King Cheng had already fled and no one knew where he was.

Knowing that King Cheng was colluding with the Xiliang assassins, I thought they were helping each other and leaving the capital together. I really underestimated King Cheng.

However, the devil is as cunning as the way is wise, and King Cheng's plan was still seen through by King Ling.

Since King Cheng had escaped, the Queen Mother no longer had to think about asking the Emperor to spare King Cheng's life.

King Cheng died outside, and as long as the Queen Mother could not see his body, she could deceive herself and others into thinking that King Cheng was still alive.

Apart from the trouble of hunting down King Cheng, it actually saved the Emperor a lot of trouble.

Otherwise, if the king is in Kyoto and is protected by the empress dowager, it would be difficult for the emperor to become king.

Fengyi Palace.

The Queen Mother sat on the phoenix chair, anxiously waiting for news.

She was so anxious that she couldn't sit still.

The Queen Mother was drinking tea to calm her anxious mood when a young eunuch ran in and said, "Queen Mother, there is news."

The Queen Mother quickly put down the teacup she had picked up and asked, "Did the Xiliang assassin release King Cheng?"

The young eunuch shook his head, "The Xiliang assassin captured King Cheng's substitute, not the real King Cheng..."

substitute?

The Queen Mother was stunned.

Madam Zhao asked, "Where is King Cheng?"

The eunuch shook his head, "I don't know..."

The young eunuch reported to the Queen Mother everything from how the Xiliang assassin abducted "Prince Cheng" away from the capital to how he was shot and fell off the cliff.

The Queen Mother had already guessed what was going on.

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief when she knew that the person being held hostage was a substitute.

I felt relieved, but also a little regretful.

Even if Prince Cheng escapes, the Emperor may not let him go.

But King Cheng was about to fall off a cliff and "die". Death brings all troubles, and the Emperor and King Cheng would never see each other again, and they would no longer kill each other.
