Eunuch Zheng frowned. Emperor Xiao's reaction made him feel a little uneasy for a moment, and he couldn't help but look sideways at Xiao Jinzhi.

"His Royal Highness."

The smile on Xiao Jinzhi's face also faded, and she stared at Xiao Emperor.

"Is there anything else your emperor wants to deny now?"

"Deny? Why deny it." Emperor Xiao snorted coldly, scanning all the courtiers with his superior gaze, "It was indeed me who killed the emperor's brother back then, but so what, now that the throne is in my hands, you guys As a minister, you should obey my orders honestly."

Now that he has reached this point, he naturally does not intend to deny anything anymore.

Over the years, he has been on tenterhooks every day, and he has had enough of this. Although everything has been exposed now, his heart has calmed down since he knew who the man in the dark was.

"Although we are court ministers, if you make mistakes, your ministers must not blindly follow you. The emperor has made a big mistake and should admit it and be punished. How can we escape punishment just because we are an emperor, without even the slightest hint of guilt!" Feng Hanyi walked out from among the courtiers, looking upright and awe-inspiring.

Although he had known that His Highness the Crown Prince was not liked by the Emperor and had been treated unfairly, he did not expect that there was such an inside story.

What happened back then sounds simply outrageous now!

"Feng Hanyi, you are so brave! I am the emperor, why, do you still want me to kill myself here to thank the world!" Emperor Xiao looked at Feng Hanyi with contempt, with a clear murderous expression on his face. meaning.

If we talk about the past, he could be a little more lenient towards Feng Hanyi, but after today, people like Feng Hanyi will never be alive again.

Noticing Emperor Xiao's killing intent, Xiao Jinzhi said in a deep voice: "Father, with this look, could it be that he wants to kill people and silence them? There are so many courtiers here today, and they have heard everything with their own ears. Do you think if everyone is killed?" After killing them all, are you still the aloof emperor?"

"Of course I won't kill them all."

Emperor Xiao raised his eyes, and his gaze passed over Liu Changhan and Feng Hanyi.

"The prince is insane and intends to kill the king and his father. Prime Minister Liu Changhan, Yu Shi Feng Hanyi and others are colluding with him. They were killed on the spot by my order as a warning. As for others, as long as they are willing to continue to be loyal to me, I will Leave them alive.”

"Then what if the courtiers refuse?"

"Then I will kill them until they are willing." A flash of madness quickly appeared in Xiao Di's eyes, "Prince, you must remember that it was you who pushed me to this point."

Kill Xiao Jinzhi, kill Zheng Li, kill Liu Changhan, kill Feng Hanyi...

This is the only solution he can think of now.

The late emperor had been dead for so many years, and he did not believe that these courtiers would be so loyal and willing to risk their lives to seek justice.

As long as he kills hard enough and threatens enough, he will definitely get the courtiers to side with him. As for the news that will be leaked later...he can no longer control so much!
Looking at Emperor Xiao who seemed to be full of confidence, Xiao Jinzhi looked away and said quietly: "So in addition to those assassins, the emperor also has back-ups."

Emperor Xiao smiled proudly, and the next moment, he took out a whistle arrow from his sleeve.

The whistle arrow was released, and the sharp sound pierced the hearts of every courtier.

The next moment, dozens of men in black appeared around Fengxian Hall, releasing a burst of thick smoke.

The courtiers' hands and feet became weak and they collapsed one after another.

Then came the imperial guards. Although they struggled and swayed, they soon fell down as well.

"Xiao Jinzhi, do you think I don't know that you have been inserting spies in the palace? There are hundreds of assassins. After finding out this, you should be very happy and feel that you have mastered my movements. But you don't know, Those people are just a cover-up that I gave you. These are the people that I have secretly cultivated over the years." Emperor Xiao pointed at the men in black and said, "Not even Zheng Li knows about their existence!" Speaking of which, it’s all thanks to these years of being on tenterhooks. In addition to cultivating the emperor's hidden guards, he always felt a little uneasy, so he secretly cultivated such a wave of power.

These people are all very powerful in martial arts and can at least fight one against ten. More importantly, they have never been used in these years. No matter how many people Xiao Jinzhi deploys, it is impossible to find this out.

Today, he will use these people to send Xiao Jin on his way!

"So you just let us talk so much, just because you want to know what the final bargaining chip is in Eunuch Zheng's hand." Xiao Jinzhi supported Chu Huanyan, and his steps started to falter, and he staggered back a step.

"That's right." Emperor Xiao breathed a long sigh of relief, "The truth cannot be concealed no matter what. In this case, I will simply let you produce the evidence and destroy it together."

As long as Xiao Jinzhi is dead, no matter what they think in their hearts, he will have a way to control the remaining courtiers.

While you can still keep your reputation, you should naturally try your best to maintain it.

But if it is already impossible, then give up when it is time to give up. Don't be trapped by rumors and rumors. The most realistic thing is to secure the throne.

After killing Xiao Jinzhi and destroying the evidence, the country still belongs to him!
As the smoke dissipated, almost everyone present fell down, leaving only Emperor Xiao, Concubine Xue, Xiao Jinzhi and Chu Huanyan.

Emperor Xiao frowned, "You guys can hold on, but it's useless to just stand still."

As soon as Emperor Xiao raised his hand, two men in black immediately flew forward and stabbed Xiao Jinzhi with their long swords.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Feng Hanyi, who fell to the ground, shouted in panic.

Seeing that the long sword was about to hit Xiao Jinzhi, the latter suddenly hugged Chu Huanyan and flew away neatly. He had sufficient internal strength and quick movements, and was not affected by the smoke at all.

Emperor Xiao was stunned.

The next moment, the hidden weapon in Xiao Jinzhi's hand shot out, hitting one of the men in black directly in the throat. The other man in black had his throat slashed by Qin Li, who had fallen to the ground but suddenly flew up.

"Your Highness." Qin Li cupped his hands and looked at Xiao Jinzhi.

"Let them all get up." Xiao Jinzhi said.

"Yes." Qin Li responded, and the next moment the fallen imperial guards, as well as those who had been placed among the eunuchs and maids by Xiao Jinzhi, all stood up.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of footsteps outside Fengtian Hall.

Pei Zhaoqing appeared with a group of imperial guards and stood between the wave of people in black and the courtiers.

"Prince Pei?" Some courtiers asked in surprise.

"Don't worry, my lords, I have obeyed the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince to protect you all." Pei Zhaoqing said loudly.

The courtiers, who were still slumped on the ground, were a little confused by the successive reversals of the situation, but when they heard Pei Zhaoqing's words, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Emperor Xiao, looking at the sudden appearance of Pei Zhaoqing and everyone standing up, looked extremely ugly.

"Why did Pei Zhaoqing lead the Royal Guards! And... you weren't poisoned?" (End of Chapter)
