A bloody battle was naturally unavoidable. Immediately, the sky was shrouded in a layer of haze.
King Rui was so proud that he couldn't control himself. The Dragon Throne was like a fishing knife.
Mingjin followed behind him without any expression on his face. He had no obsession with the throne, but his father wanted it. As his son, how could he not help?
Suddenly, Shangguan Wan appeared in front of Rui Wang, her slender fingers clutching his throat.
The father and son duo were shocked, "You! How come you didn't die? "
Shangguan Wan sneered, "Of course I'm not dead. Not only am I not dead, even the officials sitting there aren't dead."
As soon as his voice fell, the fallen ministers all stood up, their eyes blazing. King Rui's wolf ambitions were completely exposed.
Emperor Nanyan stood up and let out a heavy sigh. After that, he slowly said, "I have always regarded you as my closest friend, the right-hand man of my side. But you actually did such a thing. It truly makes me disappointed."
King Rui was not moved in the slightest when he heard this. Instead, he sneered disdainfully, "Imperial Brother, do you think that just because you've said these words that are neither salty nor sour, younger brother will change his mind? You have been the emperor for too long, it is time for you to abdicate your position. In terms of scheming and handling the affairs of the imperial court, your brother will not lose to you! "
Indeed, he was wise enough. Otherwise, he would not be able to create a good image in the hearts of the people.
Shangguan Wan's finger grew heavier, and Rui Wang felt pain in his throat.
Mingjin was about to step forward to save his father when Nangong Yu suddenly flipped over, the sword in his hand already resting on his neck.
"No matter what, you are not a match for me. Not in the past, and not now." Nangong Yu was extremely conceited with these words. He didn't forget to laugh at his beloved wife.
In such a tense moment, only he, the Emperor Xuan Ye, would show his love.
"I have really underestimated you in the past." Emperor Nanyan was so angry that he vomited blood. As the saying goes, one doesn't know the face, but one doesn't know the heart. His most treasured younger brother would actually fall to his death on the day of his birthday.
King Rui coldly snorted, not saying a word.
His original plan was to poison everyone to death and have a true change of dynasty. Since all the foreign ministers and officials of other countries were dead, this was nothing much. When the time came, he could just blame it on NATO.
What a flawless plan. The Nato soldiers invading Nanyan was something the people had witnessed with their own eyes, and the envoys dying in Nanyan was, of course, a masterpiece of Nato.
How could those ignorant people believe that their beloved King Rui had anything to do with it? After that, it was only natural for him to inherit the throne, because the Emperor had already lost a son to the throne.
He had even thought about what would happen after he ascended the throne. It was perfectly justified for him to gather the powers of all the countries to attack NATO and avenge the dead.
Three birds with one stone, took the throne, changed the court of old officials, except NATO.
But unfortunately, this plan was now obstructed.
"Royal sister, can you tell me more?" Mingjin had not been surprised by this result, the current Shangguan Wan was no longer the Shangguan Wan of the past, it was hard for mortals to fight a demon.
"When Rui Xiang's poisoning was exposed on the road to marriage, I knew that the mastermind behind her was not an ordinary person. This father's birthday is going to be a birthday, and there are too many people around, which provided you with a very good opportunity. So I had to be careful at all times."
Shangguan Wan's thoughts went back to four hours ago.
At that time, she was in the imperial kitchens, watching as the court ladies busied themselves. She was afraid that there might be some kind of mistake that would give the evil people an opportunity to take advantage of her.
Fortunately, everything was normal and not a problem.
At this moment, a young eunuch unintentionally reminded her, "I heard that Prince Lin loved to drink our Southern Yan Hundred Blossom Wine, and even said that he wanted to bring some back. It seems that Prince Lin really does have his own feelings for this."
Another young palace maid nodded and replied, "The Hundred Blossom Wine is a wine given by the palace. Naturally, it is highly favored."
Only then did Shangguan Wan realize that the wine was an essential part of the banquet, she had been careless.
He quickly ordered everything in the kitchen and rushed to the wine cellar.
She carefully examined each jar of wine and found something fishy.
There was a large amount of arsenic in the wine.
Thus, she hurriedly ordered people to replace the wine.
Those who don't drink must be conspirators.
Shangguan Wan discovered that all the officials had raised their glasses and swallowed their wine. Only the royal father and son made a symbolic gesture.
Thus, she ordered someone to give each of the guests a bamboo stick. She said that the bamboo stick was written with words of blessings, and that it was meant to celebrate the birthday of His Majesty, to celebrate with everyone.
However, in reality, only King Rui and Mingjin were able to obtain a bamboo stick with the words, "Year after year, year after year, year after year, year after year, generation after generation."
On the bamboo sticks of the others, there were words about the stakes involved.
There was no arsenic in the wine, but it was mixed with a small amount of a drug that could temporarily cause people to enter a state of suspended animation. As a result, everyone stood up again after the effects of the alcohol wore off.
Truly, a person's calculations were inferior to a fox's calculations.
In this round, she, Shangguan Wan, won handsomely.
After Mingjin heard this, he smiled and said, "You are indeed not a mortal. Only a demon can have this kind of ability."
Shangguan Wan didn't mind, "What about you? see human lives as grass, kill innocent people, and be even inferior to demons. "
Rui Wang could still laugh out loud. "Do you think you guys are a match for so many people outside?"
The sounds of swords and spears outside were deafening. The battle was extremely intense.
"Why don't you look back and see how many NATO troops you have left?" Nangong Yu was purely reminding him out of good intentions.
King Rui's heart skipped a beat. He quickly turned around and saw the NATO soldiers lying on the ground, bleeding profusely. The ones standing there were Xuan Yue's soldiers.
The corner of his mouth started to twitch. A miserable defeat. This was truly a terrible defeat. He had plotted for so long, yet he was defeated by a little girl.
Chu Jingli wore armor and walked in. His body was covered in bloodstains. He knelt down on one knee and cupped his fists as he greeted, "This humble subject has come late. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, your majesty!" Chu Jingli was awe-inspiring and his entire body was covered with a heroic aura.
There was no trace of regret on Rui Wang's face. Instead, he grabbed Shangguan Wan's neck when she wasn't paying attention.
"Wan-Er!" Emperor Nanyan and Nangong Yu cried out at the same time.
"The victor is the king and the loser is the thief. This King admits his misfortune, but even if This King dies, I must find someone to accompany me. The poison of Rui Xiang did not poison you to death. Today, the King of Japan will personally take care of you!" Blue veins popped out from Prince Rui's forehead as she gnashed her teeth and spoke.
When he had watched Xuan Yue attack Nan Yan, he had been able to take advantage of the situation. How could he not know that his royal brother had spent a huge sum of money and sent Shangguan Wan to reconcile with his wife? How could he allow Nan Yan and Xuan Yue to become relatives?
That was why he wanted to kill Shangguan Wan at all costs.
However, Ruixiang was useless and failed.
