After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

The subordinate remained unmoved. Without any hesitation, he stabbed the sharp blade in his hand straight into the "emperor's" chest. In an instant, bright red blood flowed out and spread all over the ground.

Everyone was terrified and screamed.

Many people couldn't even stand steadily and simply collapsed to the ground.

This is regicide!

"You traitor, you dare to kill the king, you will not die a good death!" An old minister cried and cursed loudly.

Qin Moyuan roared angrily and swung his sword at the subordinate.

"Your Majesty!" After realizing what was happening, the ministers knelt down beside the "Emperor".

"Quick, call the doctor!"

The scene was chaotic for a while.

When Qin Moyuan killed the subordinate and returned, he heard the ministers crying out, "The Emperor... has passed away!"

Everyone knelt down with pale faces, some cried loudly, and some were terrified.

Qin Xuan and the eldest princess, who rushed over after hearing the news, also knelt beside the "Emperor".

At this time, someone spoke up: "The country cannot be without a king for a day. We must recommend a virtuous person to ascend the throne and preside over government affairs."

"Yes, now that the emperor has passed away, we have to select wise and capable people as soon as possible." Someone echoed.

"I think Prince Ning is the most suitable person. He is the emperor's brother and has a good reputation. Prince Ning is the right person for the job." Someone else spoke up.

For a time, many ministers gathered together to discuss King Ning's ascension to the throne.

Qin Moyuan looked at these people coldly, then turned his gaze to King Ning.

Prince Ning was seen kneeling beside the "Emperor" with a look of grief and sorrow on his face.

There was a flash of mockery in Qin Moyuan's eyes.

Prince Ning's ambition can no longer be concealed.

"Speaking of which, Her Royal Highness the Princess is also the Emperor's biological sister. In terms of closeness, I think the Princess is more suitable than Prince Ning." At this time, a minister said, suppressing his anger.

Someone immediately sneered, "Since the founding of Dayan, there has never been a precedent of women in power. Isn't it ridiculous for you to say this?"

"The emperor's body is still warm, but you guys have already started discussing letting Prince Ning ascend the throne. I have reason to suspect that Prince Ning was the one who committed the regicide tonight." The minister glared at them.

The faces of those ministers changed drastically. "Don't make up stories. The assassination of the emperor has nothing to do with Prince Ning. I was going to say that it was related to the eldest princess."

"That's right. These soldiers who broke in are all the princess's men. If they didn't have the princess's permission, how could they dare to act so presumptuously?"

"The princess is so cruel and unjust to kill the king. If such a person is allowed to ascend the throne, Dayan will be doomed."

For a moment, all the ministers directed their criticism at the eldest princess.

The princess sneered, stood up, waved her hand, and ordered the soldiers, "Tie up all these traitors for me."

When the soldiers received the order, they immediately went forward to arrest those officials.

Prince Ning's face darkened, and he stood in front of the ministers, "Sister, they are all the backbone of Dayan. They just spoke carelessly. How can you put the hat of traitors on their heads?"

"A loyal minister would be so eager to push you to the throne right after the emperor's death? That's right, they are not the mastermind, because you are the mastermind!" The princess looked at him coldly, "Come here, tie up Prince Ning."

Prince Ning's expression changed, he took a few steps closer, and said in a low voice: "Sister, don't you want revenge?"

"Of course I want revenge, but the people who killed my biological mother were you and Concubine Rong! Chu Yu, blood debt must be paid with blood!" There was hatred in the eldest princess' eyes.

When Prince Ning heard this, he knew he had fallen into a trap. With a flash of cold light in his sleeve, he was about to stab the princess. But at this moment, Qin Xuan stood in front of the princess. He pulled out a long sword from his wedding robe and pointed it at Prince Ning's neck with lightning speed.

Prince Ning froze and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground.

He looked at the two of them with dark eyes.

"Prince Qin, what are you doing? Let Prince Ning go!" The ministers who spoke in front shouted hurriedly.

"Come here, tie up all these people." The princess ordered in a deep voice.

Before the ministers could react, they were pinned down and tied up by the soldiers who swarmed forward.

Prince Ning's heart sank, but when he thought of his Jianzhou Army, hope rekindled in his heart.

Calculating the time, they should be here soon. When his men arrive, the princess and the people in the Duke of Qin's mansion will all be killed.

Prince Ning was thinking gloomily when suddenly there was a sound of armor colliding outside.

He was delighted because his Jianzhou army had arrived.

Thinking of this, he raised the corners of his lips and looked at Qin Xuan with a look of confidence, "Did you hear that? My Jianzhou army has arrived. If you let me go now, you may be able to get an intact body later!"

Qin Xuan looked at him with a mocking expression, "Prince Ning, open your eyes and see who is coming in."

Prince Ning didn't take it seriously, but when he turned his gaze to the door and saw the person coming in, his pupils shrank and his face turned pale instantly.

The first person to come in was Lu Xingzhi.

He was wearing silver armor, holding a long sword, with a murderous look on his face. Behind him followed a group of heavily armored soldiers, all of whom were covered in blood. It was obvious that they had just been in a fierce battle with others.

Prince Ning clenched his fists.

Yes, the Duke's Mansion is holding a wedding banquet today, and as the son-in-law, Lu Xingzhi should be in the mansion.

But just now, he didn't see him.

It turned out that he was not in the mansion at all.

His heart suddenly sank.

His Jianzhou Army...

Thinking of something, he glared at the eldest princess with bloodshot eyes.

She must have leaked the secret.

But in order to guard against her, he deliberately postponed the time of the Jianzhou army's arrival. Unexpectedly, they still figured it out.

Prince Ning was furious.

However, the situation is hopeless and nothing can be done to reverse it.

Because the dead "emperor" actually walked out from the backyard.

Except for Prince Ning's followers, everyone else was surprised and delighted to see the living emperor.

Especially the old ministers, they were in tears.

"God save the Emperor!"

"My emperor is fine!"

Everyone knelt down.

The emperor saw everything that happened here from his high building.

Seeing several old ministers kneeling down, he quickly reached out and helped them up, "I'm sorry to have worried you, my dear ministers. I'm fine. What happened just now was a plan between me and my dear minister Lu, in order to expose the conspiracy of Prince Ning and his followers."

The old ministers wiped their tears and stood up tremblingly, "It's good that the emperor is okay, it's good that he is okay."

The fake "emperor" also came back to life at this time.

He peeled off the human skin on his face and took out an iron plate from inside his robe.

Everyone looked on in amazement.

Especially Lu Shuangshuang.

She saw him being kidnapped by the assassin with her own eyes.

It turned out that he was wearing human skin on his face.

The blood on the ground is...

"It's chicken blood." Qiao Jingjing, who appeared out of nowhere, seemed to know what she was thinking and whispered in her ear.

Lu Shuangshuang was surprised. Was it chicken blood?
"Prince Ning, you committed regicide and coveted the throne. You also secretly mobilized troops with the intention of besieging the capital. What crime should you be charged with?" At this time, the emperor turned to Prince Ning with a look of anger on his face.

King Ning was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Since I have been defeated, you can kill me or chop me up, it's up to you!"

"Well, then I will sentence you to be torn into pieces by five horses!" The emperor looked at him indifferently, his tone cold. (End of this chapter)
