Chapter 227: The Palace Change

Chapter 227

The Longshun Emperor's blood instantly rushed to his head in anger.

In a fit of rage, he stormed to the Phoenix Harmony Palace with his few trusted confidants.

Faced with the stunningly beautiful Empress Yan, his fury was instantly doused. He tried to take her hand, but she flung it away in disgust.

The Longshun Emperor still clearly remembered the obvious suspicion, contempt, revulsion, and hatred in her eyes.

Almost instantly, he slapped that breathtakingly beautiful face.

When someone is too beautiful, you can't bear to scold them.

Only after Empress Yan's cheek had swollen like a pig's head did he begin to verbally abuse her.

"You whore, why did you go looking into the daily records?"

Slapped to the cold floor, Empress Yan's phoenix eyes were bloodshot, a sense of humiliation welling up inside her.

This man was not Li Zongjing.

When she was pregnant with Ashu, it was only with the help of drugs. Besides that, Li Zongjing had never touched her, let alone look at her with such lecherous eyes.

On the other hand, although her brother the Marquis of Wei Yuan liked beautiful women, he disliked married women. The affair of forcing a palace consort was suspicious from the start.

Moreover, her brother and Li Zongjing had a very close brotherly relationship. He would never make such a big deal over a woman, wanting her brother's life.

Seeds of doubt continued to take root and grow wildly in her heart.

She inexplicably sent someone to steal the emperor's daily records from before and after his change, and indeed discovered discrepancies.

Someone allergic to peanuts suddenly wasn't allergic anymore!

An abstinent man suddenly became like a dog in heat!

The facts once again told her that this man really wasn't Li Zongjing!

She had originally planned to expose his false identity gradually, but she didn't expect him to come so quickly.

Reason is one thing, emotion is another.

The moment she saw the fake emperor, she felt nauseous and couldn't pretend to be calm and collected.

Seeing her reaction, the Longshun Emperor grabbed her chin, forcing her to look at him, and said sinisterly, "You know everything, don't you?"

"Where are the daily records?"

Empress Yan's face hurt from his grip, and she couldn't speak at all.

Thinking of Ashu, she dug her nails deep into her flesh, leaving marks like teeth impressions, forcing herself to be more rational.

She tried to explain, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she really did throw up, vomiting all over the Longshun Emperor.

The Longshun Emperor pushed her away, throwing her to the ground, his tone as cold as a venomous snake: "Do I disgust you that much?"

Pulling back his thoughts, the Longshun Emperor let out a long sigh.

Princess Dowager Mei quickly waved her hand in front of her nose and said with certainty, "Jinü, you have bad breath."

"......"

The Longshun Emperor's face turned black as ink, his voice suddenly rising: "Don't think you can threaten me with that leverage!"

"Guards! Throw Princess Dowager Mei into Zhao Prison!"

As long as she didn't die, the sleeper agents she had planted wouldn't risk mutual destruction.

Once he rooted them out, Princess Dowager Mei would surely die!

But the problem was that he hadn't rooted out the sleeper agents yet, and Princess Dowager Mei had already died!

Cold sweat beaded on the Longshun Emperor's forehead. The good days of recent years had left him unaccustomed to such panic. If word got out, it would ultimately threaten his position on the throne...

Even more unlucky was that Prince Shun had also died. Without him, how could he threaten Li Yuanxiu? What about the silver for the peace talks?

Soon, the Longshun Emperor came up with a "clever idea."

"Someone, summon Prince Shun's wife to the palace in the name of Imperial Consort Yao!"

At this moment, the commander of the Imperial Guards, wiping away cold sweat and with hurried steps, requested an audience.

"Your Majesty, Prince Shun's heir Li Yuanshan has rebelled!"

Longshun Emperor: !

Beside him, Eunuch Feng thought to himself: Now there's no need to summon her, they're attacking directly!

He began to inconspicuously look around the hall, wondering where he should hide later.

Prince An had promised to spare his dog's life, that should count for something, right?

Eunuch Feng gripped the handle of his whisk tightly, his heart full of anxiety and unease.

Meanwhile, under Li Yuanshan's command, the well-equipped and valiant West Mountain Camp swept through like a storm, forcefully breaking into the imperial palace.

The opportunity to achieve merit and establish oneself had arrived, and everyone wanted to compete for the honor of assisting in the dynastic change.

In front of Taihe Hall, Li Yuanshan had basically controlled the situation. He sent people to bind the civil and military officials of the court, slowly explaining that his cause was just, and he was not a rebellious traitor.

"The one sitting on the dragon throne now is a fake emperor! Today, I am here to clarify the truth and proclaim it to the world, to comfort the spirit of the true imperial uncle in heaven."

"In Zhao Prison, next to my father's cell, was the late emperor's Princess Dowager Mei. From her, my father inadvertently learned the story of the twin princes."

If Princess Dowager Mei's spirit could speak from the netherworld, she would surely say that it wasn't her who said it, but someone else who tricked you! Fool! Don't wrongly accuse me!

However, the information Li Yuanshan received was that Prince Shun was suddenly killed because he learned of this earth-shattering secret. He even wrote a blood letter to him, indicating where the evidence was hidden.

Li Yuanshan couldn't help but exclaim: Thank you, Father! Father is so good!

In his final moments, his father was still trying to plan for him. He must avenge his father!
