The long sword was drawn out, and suddenly turned around. With a "swish" sound, the sword blade pierced directly into the chest of the King of Qi.

"You actually!" The King of Qi was shocked.

Prime Minister Dong and the Queen did not expect that this man would suddenly turn against them and assassinate the King of Qi.

However, Su Qingwan and Li Yuncheng saw this and shouted loudly: "Protect the emperor!"

In an instant, everyone moved, long swords swept, and hundreds of soldiers surrounding the emperor in the bedroom were knocked down.

The shouts and screams outside rang out in an instant. Bai Zhihu was furious. He did not expect such a sudden change to happen.

"Commander Yue, quickly protect the emperor!" Bai Zhihu shouted. He wanted to kill Emperor Wen Jin, and all the rewards would be his.

"Okay!" Yue Qiyuan responded loudly, raised his long sword high, and brought it down fiercely with a swish.

Bai Zhihu took two steps forward and then fell down.

"Imperial guards, listen up! Kill the rebels immediately!" Yue Qiyuan shouted the order after chopping off Bai Zhihu's head.

In just a moment, the imperial guards took action.

Dong Xiang witnessed the killing of Bai Zhihu and turned around and ran away in fear, but was kicked over by the masked man. When he moved again, there was a long sword with a cold glow around his neck.

"Who are you?" Only then did Dong Xiang realize that this person was strange.

Su Yuewu smiled calmly and said, "I am your grandfather!"

The King of Qi, who was hit by a sword, also wanted to escape, but Su Qingwan flashed in front of the King of Qi, and her shawl fluttered without wind. The two ends of the shawl flew out and rolled up the long swords on both sides, like a two-headed snake. The sword lights were everywhere, and the guards around the King of Qi fell to the ground and died instantly.

"You look like Su Qingwan!"

The King of Qi's eyes were filled with fear.

"Did you just find out now?"

Su Qingwan smiled coldly, kicked the King of Qi to the ground, and then stepped firmly on the sword wound on the King of Qi.

"Let me go!" The King of Qi roared in despair, but Su Qingwan snorted coldly and broke both of the King's legs on the spot.

The King of Qi's face turned ashen in pain, veins bulged on his forehead, but he couldn't utter a single word.

The Queen Mother kept backing away, her eyes full of fear. Why did this happen? Wasn't everything going well just now? Prince Rui was dead. Now all they had to do was kill the Emperor and Prince An, and everything would be fine.

But things took a turn for the worse. The King of Qi was assassinated, Prime Minister Dong was arrested, and Commander Yue killed General Bai. What about me? What should I do?

While she was thinking, the bedroom had become quiet.

The King of Qi, Prime Minister Dong and other traitors were all captured.

Commander Yue walked a few steps to Emperor Wen Jin and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. All those who plotted rebellion have been executed."

"Good! You are worthy of being my confidant!"

Emperor Wen Jin cast a look at Commander Yue.

In fact, when the crown prince passed away, the emperor's spies discovered that the prince of Qi had already recalled General Bai and was secretly recruiting General Yue, so General Yue pretended to be submissive and took advantage of the situation, colluding with Prince An Su Yuewu and others.

But the emperor had anticipated the rebellion of the Prince of Qi, but he had not anticipated the hidden archer of the Prince of Rui...

Emperor Wen Jin looked grim. The imperial physician had just helped him pull out the arrow. Fortunately, the arrow did not penetrate very deep, but the wound was still painful. He waved his hand and asked Commander Yue to stand aside.

He looked at the King of Qi and Prime Minister Dong who were kneeling below, as well as the Queen who had collapsed on one side, and said coldly:

"The King of Qi murdered his brother and even attempted to kill his father. His crime is unforgivable. He will be deposed from the throne immediately, demoted to a commoner, and handed over to the clan court for custody, and will never be allowed out. All his subordinates will be beheaded, and all his female relatives will be made slaves. This cannot be changed."

Upon hearing this, the King of Qi instantly became dispirited.

"The Queen...discard the Phoenix Seal and banish her to the cold palace. The Queen's mother's family will be handed over to the Imperial City Department for trial. No favoritism is allowed!"

The Queen knew this would be the outcome. When she heard that Emperor Wen Jin not only punished her but also implicated her mother's family, she wanted to beg for mercy on the spot, but was gagged and dragged away.

"Prime Minister Dong is guilty of treason, and all his clans must be executed, not a single one shall be spared!"

Upon hearing this, Dong Xiang's body instantly became as soft as mud, and he trembled and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, please spare my life. Just kill me. My family members really don't know about this!"

Hearing this, Li Yuncheng chuckled.

"Prime Minister Dong, what you said is not right. There are so many half-human and half-ghost creatures kept in the White Horse Temple outside the city. Aren't they your family members who did it? If it weren't for the fact that there is only one life left, killing them ten times would not be enough."

Prime Minister Dong was stunned. Did the Imperial City Bureau even investigate this matter?

But what can he do if he finds out? He still has a backup plan. It won’t be that easy if he wants to die.

Everyone heard the sound of a copper bell, and a roar came from outside. Even several corpses that were being cleared out in the bedroom suddenly stood up.

"Protect the emperor!" Su Yuewu shouted immediately and wanted to rush forward to deal with those strange corpses, but was held down by Su Qingwan.

"Tiger Hall, listen to my orders! Protect the emperor and use fire to attack the monster controlled by the poisonous insect."

Su Qingwan took out a token from her waist and shouted loudly.

"Order!"

For a moment, there was a bustling crowd of people coming from all directions, shouting together, and then countless people wearing black cloaks and wolf- and tiger-head masks rushed towards this side like a black evil wind.

"crash"

Two black figures formed a group, flying up and down like ghosts. The black chains in their hands rattled, and the black chains were pulled apart in an instant. In the blink of an eye, the black chains formed a chain matrix and surrounded the group of weirdos.

"Ahhh"

The group of monsters were instantly blocked by the chains, and their bodies kept retreating. Within a few breaths, countless monsters were trapped together.

"kill!"

On the four walls, the man wearing a tiger-head mask gave an order, and oil bottles were thrown out in all directions in an instant.

"bang bang bang bang"

Countless oil bottles burst into bloom in an instant, and endless tung oil rose up in an instant.

"Go to hell!"

At this moment, Su Qingwan's eyes were as bright as lightning, and her longbow was like a full moon, but there was a glow of fire on the arrow head.

"call out!"

The rocket shot out and fell straight into the group of monsters. In an instant, flames broke out, tung oil burned, and endless waves of fire madly devoured the group of monsters.

Upon seeing this, Prime Minister Dong's face became even more dejected. He should have realized earlier that these things he made could no longer be used, but he was just too unwilling to accept it!

His unwillingness was finally shattered. Emperor Wen Jin raised his hand, and Commander Yue directly slashed Prime Minister Dong's neck with his sword. But he would not be alone, as the entire Dong family would soon be on the road to accompany him.

"Your Majesty, Princess Angu has detained the women of various mansions under the pretext of hosting a spring banquet, in an attempt to use this as a threat to get the civil and military officials to support the Prince of Qi to ascend the throne." Su Yuewu bowed and reported. It would be better for him to say this than for Prince An to say it.

Emperor Wenjin was furious again, and An Gu was also restless. He took two deep breaths and said with difficulty: "Princess An Gu will be demoted to a commoner and sent to the clan court for forced labor."

As soon as he finished speaking, a fishy taste came out of Emperor Wen Jin's throat. He opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of black blood.

Everyone was shocked, and Prince An said anxiously:

"Father, what's wrong with you?"

"Doctor Wang, come and take a look!"

Imperial Physician Wang hurried forward. There was no need to use a silver needle to test for poison. Just by looking at the pool of black blood, he knew that the Emperor was poisoned.

"The emperor has been poisoned." Imperial Physician Wang frowned and felt Emperor Wen Jin's pulse.

This situation is very bad!

"How could the emperor be poisoned?" Prince An was extremely anxious, but he didn't know any medical skills, so there was no point in being anxious.

"It should, it should be that the arrowhead is poisonous." Li Yuncheng shook his head. He felt that the scene in front of him was a little blurry.

Su Qingwan held the man and looked at the wound on his arm. "Were you scratched by an arrow?"

Everyone looked at Li Yuncheng and realized that his face was not looking good either.

"Can this poison be cured?"

"The poisoning of the prince is not serious, so it is easy to detoxify him. But the poison of the emperor has already penetrated into his internal organs, so I am afraid... I am afraid it will be difficult to remove!"

After Imperial Physician Wang finished speaking, everyone's expressions became serious.

"Go and prepare the medicine." Emperor Wen Jin asked the imperial physician to leave. He was breathing heavily and was very aware of his condition. He was afraid that he would not survive this time.

"Prince An, Yun Cheng, kneel down!"

Before he died, he had to pass the throne to Prince An and let Li Yuncheng be the regent to avoid further disputes.

In an instant, everyone understood what the emperor was going to do. The chief eunuch's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and Prince An was even more sad, but he knelt down obediently. However, before Emperor Wen Jin could speak, Prince An spoke first.

"Father, please allow me to go to my fiefdom and become a prince. I just want to marry Sister Yue'er and live a carefree life."

He has never been interested in the throne, and he is very clear about his own abilities and knows that he cannot be an emperor.

Emperor Wen Jin didn't expect that his son would say this to him before he died. He was so angry that he vomited another mouthful of black blood.

"What a useless thing!" He cursed, but looked at Li Yuncheng.

Should I pass the throne to him?
