I made the villain right.

Chapter 222 shows the scene where the brother and sister turn against each other. It’s not pretty bu

The Holy King has a figure as tall as a pine tree, a stern face, eyes as deep as the sea, and an awe-inspiring presence without even being angry.

His appearance filled the whole scene with tension and suspense.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on King Shengqing, as if waiting for his next move.

Feng Nanyiyi immediately took out the imperial edict from his arms and spread it out to show everyone.

"Here is a will from the late emperor. It clearly states that the Fourth Prince will be made the crown prince and the new emperor. The will that Qin Yixian held before was only written under the pressure of the late emperor. It does not count."

Feng Nanyiyi's firm voice sounded, and everyone was in an uproar again.

Ministers who were not from Qin Yixian's faction all looked at Qin Yixian with doubt and anger.

Although the ministers of Qin Yixian's faction had doubts in their hearts, they were still waiting and watching. They were led by Qin Yixian, and if one side collapsed, the other side would not be better off either.

Feng Nanyi paused, looked at Qin Yixian and sneered, then said: "I guess that Prime Minister Qin will say that the edict in my hand is a forgery, but I have witnesses and physical evidence in my hands, which can prove that everything I said is true."

At this time, Eunuch Hong took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "This will was handed to me by the late emperor himself, and I was asked to pass it on to the Holy Lord for safekeeping. It is absolutely true. On that day, the late emperor suffered a sudden onset of his old illness, and Prime Minister Qin sent the imperial guards to force the emperor to abdicate, besieging him for several days. The late emperor knew that his end was near, so he sent me away through a secret passage, and I was able to escape and survive until today."

Xu Wuyou then stepped forward and spoke out, "I am also a witness. Before my father passed away, I was by his side. I saw with my own eyes how he threatened my life, forced my father to act, and even poisoned him to death."

Xu Wuyou's eyes were red as she spoke, the scenes of the past came to her mind vividly. The pain and anger were surging in her heart, as if to devour her and make her feel heartbroken.

"Qin Yixian had been plotting rebellion for a long time. Long before he was sent out, he took advantage of my father's trust in me and asked me to send poisoned cakes to my father to taste. In the years that followed, everything I sent to my father was poisonous. He wanted to kill me just because my father didn't want to be his obedient puppet. Afterwards, he was afraid that his crimes would be exposed by me, so he claimed to the outside world that I had gone insane and wanted to cover my mouth. Now, let's see how you can cover up these people's mouths!"

After saying that, a few tears instantly fell from the corners of her eyes, and she reached out to wipe them away stubbornly.

Xu Wuyou glared at Xu Wuchen and said, "And my brother is an accomplice. He knew that Qin Yixian poisoned my father, but he did not stop or expose it. Instead, he chose to go along with him and watched my father being tortured to death step by step by Qin Yixian! He even chose to get rid of me because I discovered his secret. If I hadn't faked my death to escape, I'm afraid I would have become a wronged ghost now!"

For the last few sentences, Xu Wuyou gritted his teeth and spoke angrily, as if venting the pain and hatred buried in his heart.

Xu Wuchen's mouth curled up with a hint of sarcasm and a crazy smile: "Xu Wuchen, don't you want to sit on the throne? Today, I will tear your beautiful dream apart with my own hands, and make you lose your reputation and be cursed for eternity, so that all your years of planning will be worthwhile."

Xu Wuchen looked at Xu Wuyou's crazy appearance, and was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and his eyes were bloodshot: "You lunatic, shut up!"

He immediately took out a flying blade from his arms and shot it directly at Xu Wuyou.

The sudden scene scared everyone and made them scream!

Xu Wusheng, who was beside Xu Wuyou, was quick-witted and quickly pulled her away from the attack.

The flying blade directly hit a guard not far away. He cried out in pain and fell to the ground instantly.

Xu Wuyou's eyes were filled with anger. He gritted his teeth, and as soon as he stood firm, he immediately took out his sleeve arrow, aimed at Xu Wuchen, pulled the trigger, and an arrow shot out with a "swish" towards the center of Xu Wuchen's eyebrows.

No one expected Xu Wuyou to fight back, let alone Xu Wuchen. He dodged in a hurry and the arrow passed through his cheek, leaving a hideous long scar.

Although the scene of brother and sister turning against each other is not beautiful, it is also exciting.

Xu Wuchen felt the stinging on his cheek and wiped it with his hand in disbelief. Only when he saw the blood on his fingertips and the arrow on her wrist did he dare to believe it.

He showed a ferocious smile on his face and said through gritted teeth: "I haven't seen you for a few days. My sister has become more capable!"

Xu Wuyou said resolutely: "Xu Wuchen, you are the only one allowed to kill me, but I cannot resist? Today I will sever all ties with you, and I will kill you if I see you again!"

Xu Wuchen felt helpless and panicked at the moment. He wanted to kill him but couldn't, and he couldn't do anything about it these days.

He set his eyes on Qin Yixian, pinning his hopes on him, and said as if grasping a life-saving straw: "Prime Minister Qin, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and do it. Are you going to let these people stay here and humiliate you and me at will?"

After hearing this, Qin Yixian glared at Xu Wuchen, his eyes full of displeasure.

Although he also wanted to kill these people, he didn't like Xu Wuchen ordering him to do things. Who the hell is Xu Wuchen? Is he worthy of teaching him how to do things?

Xu Wuchen realized that he had lost his composure and quickly lowered his eyes, not daring to meet his gaze.

Feng Nanyiyi was not afraid of the other party at all and continued to expose Qin Yixian's ugly face.

"Qin Yixian is charged with more crimes than these. They are simply too numerous to count. Decades ago, you took advantage of my trip to Jiangnan to investigate a case and set up a trap to kill me. You also pretended to be a bandit and massacred hundreds of people in my Shengqing Palace. Even my father was not spared and fell into your hands. If it weren't for the secret letter left by my brother, the truth would never have been revealed."

At this moment, King Jing'an spoke up and took charge of the situation: "Qin Yixian's crime is so heinous that even if he is cut into pieces, it will be difficult to atone for his sins."

He glanced at the ministers present and said sternly, "Tear open Qin Yixian's ugly face. Ministers, do you still want to support this traitor? If you choose to abandon the dark and join the light, I can ask the new king, the Fourth Prince, to pardon your previous deeds and forgive your past mistakes."

Xu Wusheng saw the opportunity to incite people and said, "King Jing'an is right. Anyone who abandons darkness and joins light will be forgiven and will be reused."

These words were extremely tempting, causing some ministers to become restless and to think and decide in their hearts.

But Qin Yixian saw that the situation was not good, laughed sarcastically, and quickly said: "Even if you tell the truth, do you think they dare to believe it? What can you do to me with just a few of you! I have the Imperial Guards and the Imperial Guards, and the people from the Wuji Sect to help me. I have 250,000 troops at my disposal. Even if you have the Silver Armor Army and the Qianshuang Pavilion, I'm afraid that they will not even have 100,000 people added up."

Qin Yixian's words were not only meant to warn King Jing'an and his men, but also to warn the ministers of his faction not to turn against him and betray him, otherwise they would only end up dead.

The ministers who were originally neutral and the ministers of Qin Yixian's faction looked at each other and chose to ponder, not knowing what they were thinking.

The Minister of Revenue Mu Yi and the Third Prince Xu Siyuan were unmoved.

However, some people are not afraid of death. Fang Lai, the Minister of Justice who originally belonged to the neutral faction, was the first to stand up. "I originally disdained to associate with Qin Yixian. If it weren't for his power, I would have done it. Now that I know all his crimes, how can I continue to be in the same boat with him? If I do so, I will be ashamed of my conscience, the people, and even more so the king. For the sake of the country and the people, I will stand up and work with the wise king to eradicate the treacherous and bring peace to the world!"

"Lord Fang said it very well. The country has people like Lord Fang who are loyal and brave, who care about the world and the country and the people. They are the backbone of the country."

The centrist ministers who were originally wavering in their hearts were moved by Fang Lai's words. They stepped forward and bowed to Xu Wusheng, saying, "We are willing to follow the wise king."

Then, eight officials of Qin Yixian's faction also joined the team to abandon the dark and join the light. "The same is true for you."

Xu Wusheng saw that the other officials of the Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Works, Ministry of Rites and other ministries had all defected to him, and a gratified smile appeared on his face: "You ministers are smart and clear-minded, and you will accomplish great things in the future and benefit the people and the country."

Seeing this, Qin Yixian was so angry that his face turned black. "You don't know how to live or die. I will help you!"

After saying that, he immediately gave the order: "Come here, kill all those people headed by Xu Wusheng!"
