But even if she knew it was a trap, she and Nie Qingyun would still jump. Such a long time of hard work is nothing but revenge.
It's just... Ji Man glanced at Ning Yuxuan. At the last moment, he snatched her dagger.
Are you stupid? Let Wu Yong come and arrest her and Nie Qingyun. She gave the fatal knife to the neck. At worst, Nie Qingyun will receive some punishment, and Jing Wenhou can protect him. She was still counting on him to protect her, but Ning Yuxuan sent herself in as well.
So what should we do now? Ji Man was a little tired, and his revenge had been avenged, as if all his worries were gone. But if you think about it carefully, it's still good.
She still has to go out and take care of herself.
Thinking of this, Ji Man became a little anxious, got up and looked at Ning Yuxuan through the fence and asked, "Where did you put it?"
"In Moyuhou's mansion." Ning Yuxuan frowned slightly, and he forgot even if she didn't mention it. Put it well in the Hou's mansion and take it with Gui Bai, there shouldn't be any problem.
Ji Man pursed her lips: "Why are you snatching my dagger? If you don't snatch it, in your capacity, you won't be caught so easily, so you can still go out and take care of it."
Ning Yuxuan laughed lightly: "If I don't snatch it, you, a person with no background and no backer, is simply a good choice to take the blame."
If it were him, Zhao Zhe would have to be scruples.
Nie Qingyun frowned and said, "What will the Changjun king do to us?"
How would the scheming prince deal with them
"I can't die." Ning Yuxuan said with a low smile: "You and I can't die, it just depends on what conditions he wants to make and how to deal with it."
After a while of silence, several people knew in their hearts, what kind of easy conditions would a person like Zhao Zhe offer
At this time, the palace is the calm after the chaos. Zhao Zhe sits on the dragon throne, and everyone in the hall is full of cronies. Shen Youqing came late, and finally heaved a sigh of relief when he came in and saw that there was no one else standing beside the dragon seat.
"Today's achievements should be shared with everyone." Zhao Zhe was delivering an inspiring speech, and the situation in the capital had been brought under control. Shen Youqing stood beside him, and all the courtiers knelt down. He even felt that he had ascended the throne as the emperor.
Wu Yong stepped into the door, bowed his hands and saluted without saying a word. But judging by the look on his face, he had already finished the matter. Zhao Zhe smiled slightly, turned his head and said: "Although the current emperor is unkind, unrighteous, loyal and unfilial, he is my own brother after all. This king has decided to let him live. As long as he gives up the throne, this king is willing to repay grievances with virtue and raise his family." Let him spend the rest of his life in the palace."
"My lord is merciful—" the crowd shouted in unison.
"My lord, the emperor has already been killed." Wu Yong stood up in time, cupped his hands and said, "I just rushed to the Moon Tower, and saw that the emperor was already lying in blood. Mo Yuhou and General Nie were holding sharp weapons and were arrested by the minister." All right."
Everyone was shocked, and Zhao Zhe was also a little surprised.
It turned out to be Mo Yuhou
"How courageous!" Zhao Zhe patted the armrest and stood up: "The emperor has not abdicated yet. Although he is guilty of crimes, it is not their turn to do it! Where are Mo Yuhou and General Nie now?"
"Go back to the prince, both of them are in the prison."
"All matters in the palace will be handled by the concubine Wang and Master Wu. I will go to the prison first, and I will definitely punish the murderer severely!" Zhao Zhe left angrily, leaving a group of ministers looking at each other.
Abandoned Emperor and his left and right cannot escape death. Although the prince is kind, the actions of Mo Yuhou and General Nie are also reasonable.
Don't tell the truth if you see through, self-preservation is the top priority, no one in the hall asked for mercy.
Zhao Zhe was very happy in his heart. After so many years of planning, it finally came to fruition. All the troubles have been solved. The next step is how to deal with these people.
After dismissing the jailer, Zhao Zhe walked deep into the dungeon with his cronies.
"Let me out, I want to see the emperor!" Passing by a cell, I heard a woman screaming. Zhao Zhe glanced lightly, saw Kang Yuan with disheveled hair, sneered, and continued walking.
"Yuxuan Qingyun." Walking to the door of the deepest cell, Zhao Zhe suddenly changed his expression, looked at them with a sad face, and then looked at the next cell: "Sang Yu, why...are you arrested by them?" Right?"
Ji Man was taken aback, looking at this hypocritical person, there was a trace of disgust in his eyes.
Nie Qingyun didn't speak, but Ning Yuxuan said: "My lord, this is really a bit of a coincidence. I don't know who the cronies around the lord have followed someone's order to come to Wangyue Tower and arrest us all."
"The king doesn't know about this." Zhao Zhe frowned and said, "The king was dealing with other affairs in the Zichen Hall, and suddenly someone came to report that you were arrested."
This expression was so sincere that Ji Man thought he really didn't know. But she stayed in Changjun Palace, how loyal Wu Yong is, how can she not know? Apart from obeying the orders of the Changjun King, who else can order him
"The emperor and the queen are all dead." Mo Yuhou said indifferently: "The prince's great event has been accomplished, and the next few people must be useless. Why don't you just bury the emperor with him, and it will also make the prince's reputation flawless."
"Yuxuan, what are you talking about?" Changjun Wang said dissatisfiedly: "Why would this king sacrifice all of you who have made great achievements for this king for the sake of his own reputation? If it spreads out, who will follow?" My king."
After a pause, he said with some embarrassment: "It's just that you were caught by them. If you don't have an explanation for the death of the emperor, it seems that you can't justify it."
"How does the emperor plan to make us explain?" Ji Man asked with raised eyebrows.
Zhao Zhe looked at her, and his eyes softened a lot: "I think about it, or else I will declare to the outside world that you will be beheaded, and take death row prisoners to die in your place, and then this king will let you go secretly, how about it?"
let go? Ning Yuxuan sneered, let them go, and erase the three of them from this world. From now on, they will go away incognito. Nie Qingyun no longer has the military power in Jingzhou, and he can no longer control the six courts. It really wiped out two big scourges in one fell swoop.
What's even more frightening is that Zhao Zhe's heart is ruthless. Once they lose the things behind them, will they really be able to leave the capital safely
"There is no impenetrable wall in the world." Ji Man smiled slightly, and said: "If the prince wants to behead, he should behead us all directly, and there will be an explanation to the people in the world. If the identity of the death row is exposed, the people in the world will be afraid." I still want to scold the prince for deceiving the people of the world."
Zhao Zhe's face changed slightly, and Ning Yuxuan who was beside him also nodded and said, "It's better to kill him directly, I am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death."
Cut directly? How could he cut it directly? How to explain to Jing Wenhou? What else can I use to appease Chao Zhongwen Wu? If he wanted to kill him, he had to wait until he had gathered all his ministers' hearts, and then he had the strength to tear his face apart with Jing Wenhou.
Besides... He glanced at Ji Man, how could he be willing to kill such a smart and virtuous woman who can take charge of the backyard and save him from worries
After hesitating for a long time, Zhao Zhe let out a long sigh and said, "Let's discuss this matter later. You have been wronged for a few days, and I will send you clean quilts and food, and you can rest here for a few days."
"Thank you, my lord." Ning Yuxuan saluted, and Zhao Zhe seemed to be really reluctant to leave after watching them for a long time.
Three days later, several ministers in the court jointly wrote a letter asking Zhao Zhe to succeed him, and Zhao Zhe put on the dragon robe under half push and half consent, and became the new emperor.
However, Mo Yuhou was imprisoned, and he had many secret documents of the imperial court in his hands, as well as contacts and relationships with all parties. When he is not around, it will be extremely troublesome to sort out the court affairs, and many things will be delayed and unable to be done.
In desperation, someone wrote a letter to intercede for Mo Yuhou, saying that it might have been an accidental injury, and the crime should not be fatal, right
Then Jing Wenhou took his daughter and grandson to Beijing, knelt outside the Zichen Hall and counted all the military exploits made by Nie Qingyun along the way. Er Rong even hugged the child under two years old and begged the emperor to return her Husband comes.
Under heavy pressure, Zhao Zhe reluctantly went to the prison again.
"Mrs. Nie is here with her children." He looked at Nie Qingyun and sighed, "Since the general has a wife and children, he should think more about them. How could he just die here?"
Nie Qingyun was slightly moved and looked at Ji Man.
"Both General Nie and Lord Hou are indispensable to the society." Ji Man looked at Zhao Zhe and said, "The abolished emperor was killed by Sang Yu, and Sang Yu is willing to bear it all. I hope the emperor will let General Nie go." And Lord Hou."
Ning Yuxuan pursed his lips and said: "The deposed emperor was indeed killed by a criminal minister, and Sang Yu is a weak girl, how can she do it. Please also ask the emperor to investigate clearly."
Nie Qingyun said: "I also hurt the emperor, he bled to death."
The three of them didn't know what was going on outside, thinking that Zhao Zhe still had to make them bear the consequences. Zhao Zhe didn't say anything, but looked at Ji Man and said, "I have a way to save the lives of the three of you, are you willing to listen?"
"What way?" Ji Man raised his eyebrows.
Ning Yuxuan frowned slightly, feeling a little bad.
"The crimes of Mo Yuhou and General Nie can be blamed on you alone." Zhao Zhe said with a slight smile: "As for your crimes, I can help you eliminate them."
Ji Man was startled, then frowned: "Since this is possible, why did the emperor lock us up for so many days?"
"Hey, I just came up with the solution just now. If you have taken on all the crimes, it will not be so easy to survive." Zhao Zhe said with a light smile, "I am a kind person. It can be said that you have saved my life before. The death penalty is unavoidable, but going to the palace to save the soul of the deposed emperor for a year, this can be regarded as giving someone an explanation, are you willing?"
Go to the palace for an extra year? She is not a monk, so why should she go to save her? Ji Man was puzzled, but Ning Yuxuan next to him changed his face: "The emperor can find someone to directly replace Sang Yu's crime, so why bother?"
"She has been incognito for so long, do you still have the heart to let her continue to live in a meager life instead of living a bright and honest life?" Zhao Zhe looked at Ning Yuxuan with raised eyebrows.
Ning Yuxuan clenched his fists, Zhao Zhe was a man with evil intentions, he should have thought about it long ago!
