Splendid Twins

Lu Yuan was not afraid at all, he stared and sneered:

"Let them in!"

The central door and side doors of the hall slowly opened, and in came all the civil and military officials dressed in court robes and with serious expressions. Among this group of court officials, an old official with white hair was particularly eye-catching. He held a long scroll steadily in his hands. Although Xiao Junyi did not show it on his face, he was actually panicking.

"How dare you! Are you trying to force me to abdicate?"

The old minister held the scroll high, knelt down and cried:

"Your Majesty, countless children have gone missing. This is a joint letter signed by the students. Please take a look."

Xiao Junyi's sword was a little unsteady, and he said angrily:

"Investigating the case is the government's business, it has nothing to do with me!"

When these words were spoken, all the officials could not help but show a hint of disappointment. This was the king they were loyal to!

There was a chaotic and hurried sound of footsteps outside. Everyone looked over and saw a team of Flying Eagle soldiers carrying wooden boxes entering one after another. Someone noticed that the boxes were covered in blood and had a bad feeling.

Lu Yuan said coldly:

"You want evidence, don't you? Here it is!"

As he spoke, he stepped forward and opened the box. Unexpectedly, what came into his sight were the corpses of some babies. This scene made all the ministers step back. The exposed corpses were covered with knife marks and scars.

Lu Yuan opened all the boxes one by one. The horrific scenes inside made some people turn their heads and vomit...

Some babies died with their eyes open, showing at a glance that they suffered inhuman terror before death. Most of the children had two bloody holes on their chests and countless knife cuts on their wrists. There were a total of nine large boxes placed in front of everyone.

"This is just part of it. What else do you have to say?"

Lu Yuan's questioning made Xiao Junyi completely collapse, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Ridiculous! I am the true dragon emperor, and you are just a few untouchables. What can you do to me?"

Before Lu Yuan could make any move, the old minister raised his head to the sky and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs. The saints are unkind and regard the common people as stupid dogs."

After he finished speaking, he put all his strength into crashing into the dragon pillar next to him. Before anyone could react, they only heard a loud “bang”.

Blood was pouring down the old minister's forehead. With his last breath, he looked towards Xiao Junyi: "Your Majesty..."

Xiao Junyi was furious at this scene, and the emperor was furious:

"Carry him out!"

Then he pointed his sword at Lu Yuan and said gloomily: "This is all your conspiracy. You have been coveting this position for a long time!"

Lu Yuan said casually:

"Do you think you deserve it?"

As he spoke, he made a gesture, and the Flying Eagle Army behind him rushed forward. Screams were heard from the hall from time to time, and all the people who were protecting Xiao Junyi were captured!

"Issue a confession of guilt and let your son sit in that position!"

Lu Yuan's expression was indifferent, but what he said shocked everyone.

"You, you actually..."

"Your Majesty..."

"Prince Jin..."

Lu Yuan's sharp gaze met Xiao Junyi's, who was full of disbelief, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"We are living people. Birth, aging, illness and death are natural cycles. Do you think you deserve to live a hundred years?"

As he spoke, he walked straight to Xiao Junyi, snatched the Emperor's Sword with a sharp and powerful move, and turned to look at the court officials:

"If anyone has any objections, please stand up now. I will forgive him. From now on, no matter who dares to discuss what happened today, my Flying Eagle Army will destroy his house!"

"Your Majesty is wise, we dare not."

The ministers knelt on the ground one after another, each of them was terrified. They knew that the people had been resentful in recent years. Now that the Prince of Jin was restoring order, it was a blessing for the State of Liang.

The sky finally brightened and everything was settled. Lu Yuan was honored as the Regent of Liang State, and he led the five-year-old prince to sit on the dragon throne to receive the homage of all the ministers.

Inside the Muchi Palace, the Queen Mother was no longer as graceful as before. She sat down on a cold chair in a state of embarrassment. She had thought of countless possibilities, but she never expected that the Master would be missing!

That evil son actually dared to seal off the palace and kill his mother. It was all her fault for being lenient back then. Now there is nothing she can do to change the situation and she can only wait for her end.

"squeak."

The door was pushed open, and Lu Yuan was wearing a golden crown and a purple robe. This already majestic man was now the regent, and his aura was at its peak, unmatched by anyone.

"You came."

The Queen Mother squinted her eyes as if she was drowsy and spoke without raising her head.

Lu Yuan stood at the door, expressionless, and said coldly after a while:

"Did you give the immortality elixir that Xiao Junyi took?"

The Queen Mother finally reacted, looking at Lu Yuan with eyes full of hatred and disgust:

"Why, you want it too?"

"That medicine is addictive. Now, he is neither human nor ghost and asks everyone for the medicine. Tsk tsk tsk, he is really in a mess..."

No one knew what the mother and son said to each other in the end. The moment Lu Yuan walked out of the Muchi Palace, the Queen Mother burst into tears, her voice desperate and hoarse.

Lu Yuan walked to the imperial study alone. There were several baskets of memorials waiting for him to review. Although his shackles were removed, his heart was empty. He walked hurriedly. He missed his little fairy a little...

Si Yao also did not sleep all night. He was attacked by a black bear during the day and encountered a hungry wolf in the middle of the night. The two of them went through a lot of hardships and finally arrived at the place where Zhou Yu and the others disappeared, the dense forest.

The entrance to the dense forest is hidden among the lush leaves and tangled vines. The sunlight shines through the layers of green leaves, casting mottled light and shadows, adding a bit of haziness to this mysterious place. The leaves sway gently, making rustling sounds, and occasionally the sound of birds can be heard.

Gou Huan's clothes were tattered, and he sat on the ground without any image, and said weakly:

"I'm so tired, Si Yao, I admire you."

This girl worked hard all the way but never complained. He liked her resilience.

"Are you leaving yet?"

Si Yao thought to herself, you little brat, you still want to compete with her? With the space in hand, you won’t have to worry about going out.

"Take a break. I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat?"

Gou Huan closed his legs and leaned against the tree trunk next to him, his face turning pale.

Seeing this, Si Yao handed over two candies:

"Hold it."

"Thank you."

Gou Huan threw it into his mouth and pursed his lips, with a smile in his eyes:

"Now that it has come to this, tell me, who are you looking for?"

Si Yao glanced at him:

"my brother."

"What is he doing here?"

Si Yao said nothing, walked to the side and leaned against the tree trunk, chewing a piece of hard candy in her mouth.

"Si Yao, I'll accompany you for a while. When we get out, can you do me a favor? "

Gou Huan said in a negotiating tone, with a hint of nervousness in his eyes.

"No need to discuss."

Si Yao refused directly. It was he who took the initiative to pester her!

"How cruel! Okay..."

Gou Huan stood up, dusted himself off, and said with a smile:

"Let's go."

Si Yao nodded, looked towards the dense forest, and couldn't help but admonish:

"Put away your carelessness, there is a formation in here."

A dark light flashed in Gou Huan's eyes, and he spoke softly:

"rest assured."
