After I captured the wrong male lead, I broke off the engagement and married the villain

All the ministers present were trembling with fear, looking at King Li with horror in their eyes.

"By the way, where did Xiao Weiye go? We can't find him no matter how hard we try."

The emperor was so angry at the murderous intent in his eyes that he vomited blood. He accused him in a trembling voice: "You... you beast!"

"Father, this is too much. I am just concerned about my brother. Is this not okay?"

He took a few steps forward and said, "It doesn't matter if the imperial edict is not given to me. After tonight, the throne will be mine anyway, and no one can take it away from me!"

The emperor coughed loudly and vomited blood, but no one came forward to serve him.

The palace maids and guards were all trembling and hiding not far away, looking extremely frightened.

"You, beast, beast!"

Prince Li rolled his eyes and said, "Alright, kill all those who should be killed. I'm in a hurry to find Xiao Heyun."

It's time to end the grudges between the two people.

Who knew that the next moment, the door was kicked open.

"Everyone, surrender immediately!"

"It's bad, Your Majesty. Reinforcements have arrived from the North. They heard that the capital was under siege, and they have already broken in."

King Li's expression changed: "What?"

Before I could react, a group of people rushed in!

boom!

This group of people were well-equipped and experienced, and they quickly took control of the Royal Guards.

"Why are there people coming from the North? Who did it?!"

King Li gritted his teeth in anger, picked up his long sword and walked forward.

"It's me, how are you?"

Xiao Heyun then walked out slowly. He was dressed in golden-red court robes, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His face was so handsome that he looked like some kind of evil god being worshipped.

Seeing him coming over like this, King Li's expression changed: "Your legs..."

"I'm all right now, thanks to your care. I was indeed lame for a while before, but fortunately, God blesses me."

King Li's face was almost distorted, and he looked at him as if he wanted to eat him.

但那也没用.

Xiao Heyun said: "Prince Li was plotting a rebellion and forced Your Majesty to issue an edict. Now that the evidence is solid, arrest him!"

"Who dares! Who of you dares to come over here!"

King Li immediately grabbed the emperor who was standing on him and brought his long knife down to his neck.

"Whoever comes here, I'll kill him! Everyone stand back!"

Sure enough, seeing this, everyone was afraid to step forward.

Xiao Heyun showed no emotion at all.

King Li also knew that he would not save people, but he would never dare to openly kill the king in front of the army, otherwise it would be a serious crime, and he would not be able to hold his head up if the news got out.

So he brandished his long sword and shouted, "Everyone retreat, who dares to come forward!"

Xiao Heyun watched coldly. After a moment of stalemate, he said, "Everyone retreat."

Everyone then retreated cautiously.

As soon as the door closed, a long arrow pierced King Li's chest.

He looked at his chest in disbelief, and the man opposite him smiled coldly.

"It's over. I have to pay for everything that happened in the past and today. From now on... there will be no you in this world."

Xiao Heyun retracted his bow and crossbow, looking at the mess and blood on the ground with a rare calm expression.

The border troops cleaned up the battlefield very tacitly, causing the palace maids and eunuchs who witnessed it all to shut up forever.

And...the ministers have been rescued.

Xiao Heyun took a few steps forward and pushed King Li away as if he was pushing away a piece of trash.

The emperor was still gasping for breath. Seeing this, he reached out and grabbed him: "Yun, Yun... Save me, save me."

Looking at the miserable state of the Emperor, Xiao Heyun curled his lips coldly.

"Two years ago, my legs were broken and it was extremely difficult for me to see my father. Now the situation has reversed. I wonder what my father feels?"

The emperor's face was distorted, and the severe poisoning made his lips look a little blue.

"You can't blame me. After all, the person who wanted to kill you was your beloved son. Go and tell him about it in hell. Who knows... maybe we can be reincarnated together."

puff!

The emperor was so angry that he spat out blood, and his last breath was completely extinguished.

The hall was extremely bloody, and looking at this scene, Xiao Heyun only felt happy.

All these life and death and calculations are over.

He looked at the blood on the back of his hand and wiped his hand with the curtain beside him expressionlessly.

·······

The palace was still clearing out the rebels, so it was quite noisy.

The ministers were all protected in a side hall.

After Xiao Heyun entered, he saw pairs of vigilant eyes.

"Prince Li has been executed, but my father was so angry with him that he passed away."

Everyone looked grim, fearing that Xiao Heyun would suddenly explode.

"Prime Minister, please take out the imperial edict and see who His Majesty has chosen as the crown prince."

Gu Zian looked grim, and was in a dilemma at the moment.

If Xiao Heyun used threats and inducements now, they would have no power to fight back.

But if I don't hand it over, will he have no other options?

·······

"Prime Minister, this is not possible. The situation is chaotic right now. Let's wait a few days before we decide."

Xiao Heyun said, "The country cannot be without a leader for a day, so... we still have to decide on a candidate as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble."

These words made everyone's face change.

Gu Zian had no choice but to take out the imperial edict and read it out.

"The fifth prince, Xiao Weiye, has a gentle and elegant temperament and has the potential to be a sage monarch, so he is designated as the crown prince."

Xiao Heyun was not surprised and asked, "Where is the fifth brother?"

"Your Highness, the Fifth Prince has been taken into custody by the guards. He should be on his way here by now."

Xiao Heyun nodded: "Protect the adults, I will go to check the situation outside first."

The Imperial Guards surrendered without much resistance. After all, they were all one family, so what was the point?

Besides, the mastermind is dead, so what’s the point of them still fighting for their lives?

Xiao Heyun has brought all the generals from the northern border with him. If we continue to resist, we will probably die a miserable death.

They knew this, so they surrendered immediately.

"Prime Minister, the Fifth Prince has been found by them. What should we do?"

"Let's check the situation first."

"But what should we do if the Night King wants to threaten the Fifth Prince?"

Gu Zian said: "It's okay, the North Camp is still there, at least it can protect the Fifth Prince. I have already sent someone there, I believe there will be news soon."

After hearing this, the ministers calmed down.

"I didn't expect King Li to be so cruel and crazy. It's really scary."

He had no choice but to do so. If he couldn't strike first, he would just be bled dry and slowly die.

They will die anyway, so it is up to them to decide which one to choose.

King Li made his choice in this regard, so that is his fate.

"I hope the Night King can be more sensible. Otherwise, when the Northern generals come, we will have no way to stop them."

Gu Zian also looked a little strange. Why...why did the other party come so quickly?
