C176

On the dragon bed, the emperor had stopped breathing. He had been pinched so tightly that he was unconscious, and he had been poisoned by the tea. This time, he was truly far away from all the trouble and pain.

Amidst the chaos of battle and battle, the Tian Yuan Kingdom's Martial Saint died in humiliation.

In the chaos of battle, two of the princes had already been killed. The other two princes, one of them was seriously injured, and it was unknown whether he was alive or dead. The other one was also injured. The four factions had never fought against the empress or the crown prince. Seeing the situation brighten up, the empress and Zhou Tuoyi, who were nervous to the point that they were about to go limp, finally heaved a sigh of relief.

"Kill them all! Leave none alive!"

Zhou Tuoba said through gritted teeth, staring at the soldiers that the princes had brought with them, who were being forced back step by step. He did not want or want to leave behind the lives of these people, and wanted to kill them all. Only by doing this could he seal everyone's mouths, and shift the crime of murdering a monarch and killing his father to those princes who had barged into the Imperial Palace.

To him, brothers were only enemies that wanted to fight for the throne.

The empress's face darkened to the extreme. Countless thoughts had already passed through her mind, there were too many suspicious points. How did the princes enter the Forbidden City in the middle of the night?

Not to mention that these princes had brought many people with them, and they were all armed with weapons!

Why would two princes appear in the emperor's chambers when he was being slaughtered?

Where did Tie Gang Ying go?

And from the Dragon Guards?

With so many questions, the empress had an ominous premonition. However, with the situation in such a mess, it was impossible to find someone else to investigate, much less find the time to investigate. They could only continue onwards, killing off all the people who had barged into the palace, as well as those princes.

"Esteemed empress, this is very strange."

Someone beside the empress whispered, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Kill all those who barge in!"

Just as the Queen said this, someone shouted, "The Emperor is dead!"

This voice was sent out with vigorous energy, causing everyone to stop in shock.

Quiet, eerily quiet!

The chaotic battle had stopped, and the people who were fighting had stopped as well. They slowly retreated, maintaining a distance with their enemies.

The Queen and Zhou Tuoyi were shocked. They turned their heads to look at the Dragon Couch beside them and saw that the Emperor had already stopped breathing.

"The empress and His Highness the crown prince attempted to kill the monarch and kill the father, plotting to usurp the throne. This is outrageous!"

The remaining injured prince roared loudly. His voice traveled very, very far in the silence.

The empress gave a cold laugh. "Several princes brought soldiers to trespass into the imperial palace, murdering the monarch and murdering the father. The crime is unforgivable, it's unforgivable!"

The surroundings were still silent. No one spoke, and no one moved. Only some people from the empress's side rushed out, raising their swords and sabers. Seeing the strange atmosphere around them, they couldn't help but tremble in fear, unsure of what to do.

"The empress and His Highness the crown prince killed their kings and their fathers on the night, plotting to usurp the throne. They've committed great crimes."

Along with this indifferent voice, a person slowly walked in from outside. The surrounding people had long made way for them, some of them even knelt down. As this person fell to his knees, the people around him also fell to their knees, and the number of people kneeling increased.

The lights suddenly lit up and shone onto the man. He was handsome, clad in golden armor. The lines of his face were clearly cold and hard. His entire body faintly emitted a oppressive killing intent. A pair of pitch black, deep eyes that were like the endless night sky seemed to suck in everything. The gaze they shot was as sharp as swords!

"King Jingyuan …"

The empress gave a soulless cry as she couldn't help but tremble before retreating two steps. "Prince Jingyuan, what do you mean by this?"

Feng Qingxiao's tone was solemn as he said, "Seize the traitor who killed the monarch and killed his father!"

"Yes sir!"

The Iron Guards moved forward, pressing in closer step by step.

"Sigh, when a certain someone appears, he will truly bring countless dazzling rings of light and steal away all the eyeballs. Hmph."

Yun Zihuang, who was on the roof, turned the teacup in her hand and muttered to herself in dissatisfaction. That guy had even raised his head and looked at her for a moment. Unfortunately, this time around, there wasn't enough time for the two of them to meet eye to eye. Before long, it was very likely that tomorrow would come. That War God King should be sitting on that cold and hard dragon throne, becoming the supreme Emperor of the Tian Yuan Kingdom.

He suddenly wanted to go in and see what had happened.

"Let's go down and take a look."

"Yes."

Yun Rui Ying who was standing beside her answered in a low voice, and brought her down from the roof. After they landed, the Iron Guards bowed and paid their respects to Yun Zi Huang. They did not stop them as they watched them walk into the emperor's chambers.

"King Jingyuan, are you going to break the contract?"

The person beside the empress asked angrily. Feng Qingxiao looked at this person coldly and said, "The country leader's family is going with the empress and the crown prince to kill their princes and rebel. Seize them!"

"As you command!"

The Iron Guards swarmed forward. It was obvious that the Queen's side was a bit too weak when faced with the ferocious and valiant Iron Guards this time. What was worse was that the soldiers who had been on the empress's side all attacked the people around them, reining in those who had truly contributed to the empress's cause.

"You all …"

The empress's beautiful face was deathly pale as if she finally understood something. So that's the case!

Everything was just a trap laid down by King Jingyuan!

Zhou Tuo Jie shouted: "You dare! "You guys dare to be rude to me …"

He didn't have a chance to say anything more. There weren't many people who had truly worked for them, and this assassination attempt was due to the Dragon Guards surreptitiously giving in to them. The imperial guards expressed their absolute support, following the Empress, His Highness the crown prince, and the invincible Iron Guard in order for them to enter the emperor's sleeping quarters without a sound and successfully kill the emperor's father. If it weren't for the Iron Guard and the Royal Guard, they would have already lost against the alliance of the four princes.

However, at this moment, the Iron Guards, imperial guards, and Dragon Guards who had been by their side all attacked the empress and crown prince. There was no room for them to retaliate.

"King Jingyuan, you can't do this to me. After I ascend the throne, I'll agree to anything you want."

"I wonder what will the Crown Prince promise me?"

His silver armor was dazzling, his eyebrows were sharp, and his eyes were bright. His face was cold, and his body exuded a strong killing intent. A valiant general walked in from the outside step by step. Her phoenix eyes burned with a burning fury as he stared coldly at the crown prince.

"You … "How is this possible …"

Zhou Tuoyi, who was already weak to begin with, fell to the ground and stared at the newcomer in fear: "Cloud Peak? How could it be you? Isn't it difficult to treat my severe injuries and I'm unconscious? "
