The cold light silently enveloped Chu Heyi and Xie Lin. They came here on horseback, and had fought all the way to get here. They seemed to still exude the cold aura brought by the fighting.

A man was wearing a dark green brocade robe, silent and murderous.

A person wearing a deep red long dress, silent and gorgeous.

The emperor walked to the entrance of the hall and faced them. They faced each other in the fighting in the distance and in the silence nearby.

Neither side spoke at the moment of confrontation. In the silence, the sound of wind blowing through the treetops was so obvious, and the sound of fighting in the distance was so tragic.

Until Xue Jinfei came with a large number of guards and broke the silence.

The emperor's gaze immediately fell on Xue Jinfei. He saw that there were a few drops of blood on Xue Jinfei's face, his hair was coagulated with blood, and the long sword in his hand was still dripping with hot blood.

Xue Jinfei did not stop. Holding a long sword, he strode forward with his guards and surrounded the emperor, empress, Concubine Zhen, Yao An, as well as several guards, eunuchs, and palace maids.

Whenever the emperor raised his eyes, all he saw were long swords flashing with cold light.

There were raging waves in his heart, a raging rage, endless fear, and a sense of despair at having no control over the situation.

He looked at Xie Lin and Chu Heyi angrily, but his eyes softened the moment they met his gaze.

Like Xue Jinfei, the tip of Chu Heyi's sword was still clotted with blood, which showed that she had killed and injured many people along the way.

Xie Lin, on the other hand, had no weapon in his hand. Standing beside Chu Heyi, he was gentle, elegant and dignified, but he gave people a feeling of absolute strength that "in the midst of chatting and laughing, the masts, oars and sails were reduced to ashes".

"Traitor, what do you want to do!" The emperor finally spoke, but this roar was nothing but outward strength and inner weakness.

There was no expression on Xie Lin and Chu Heyi's faces.

The emperor continued, "Xie Lin, I trusted you so much that I made you the Prime Minister of Daqi at such a young age. Why did you betray me today and become a traitor? Sooner or later, you will be cursed by the people of the world!

"And you, Chu Heyi. You are the county lady appointed by me. I have treated you very well. Why did you follow Xie Lin in rebellion? The Zhenbei Marquisate has been loyal to you for a hundred years, but today you disregard the reputation of the Zhenbei Marquisate for Xie Lin! You disregard the lives of your entire family! If your father and brother knew about your behavior, they would definitely not tolerate you!"

Seeing that they were silent, the emperor looked around, forced himself to remain calm, and continued, "I will give you a chance to kneel down and admit your mistakes, otherwise I will kill all your Chu and Xie clans!"

Before he finished speaking, Xie Lin raised his eyes slightly, and Xue Jinfei took a step forward with a sword in hand.

Xue Jinfei moved, and all the guards under his command also moved.

In an instant, the tip of the sword was less than an inch away from the emperor.

The threat of death was approaching, and the emperor's face turned extremely pale.

"Your Majesty." Xie Lin finally spoke, his voice as cold as water: "I learned that Prince Cheng and his wife were plotting a rebellion. I ignored the wedding night and brought my wife to the palace to protect Your Majesty."

The emperor looked at him steadily. Xie Lin was confusing right and wrong. He was lying with his eyes open!

However, even though he was extremely angry, facing the many long swords around him, the emperor could only remain silent.

If Xue Jinfei had not been given to Xie Lin in the past, Xue Jinfei would not have become a sharp knife in Xie Lin's hand tonight.

If Yin Shao had not been ordered to go to Xie's house tonight, it would have been better. With Yin Shao and his men blocking the front, once Shu Xiao led his troops into the palace, Yin Shao would definitely know it at the first time, and Xie Lin and Chu Heyi would definitely not be able to kill him.

Unfortunately, one of his two most powerful men became Xie Lin's assistant, and the other was trapped in Xie's mansion - he was probably dead.

He, the favored son of heaven, the supreme ruler, the Emperor of Daqi, was actually pointed at by a sword. Facing Xie Lin and Chu Heyi who rushed in, he was helpless.

Xie Lin: "However, Your Majesty, do not worry. General Shu Xiao has already led his soldiers to capture His Royal Highness Prince Cheng. The couple will definitely not be able to escape.

"When I brought my wife here just now, His Royal Highness Prince Cheng had already been surrounded by General Shu Xiao and his soldiers. Soon, His Royal Highness Prince Cheng will be captured alive and brought before the Emperor for His Majesty to deal with."

After hearing this, the emperor became even more desperate.

Xie Lin's words were equivalent to telling him: "Your last savior is gone."

The emperor's legs went weak, his eyes went dark, he spat out blood and almost fell to the ground. Yao An caught him in time.

The emperor closed his eyes, opened them again, closed his eyes, and opened them again, over and over again, and all he saw was Xie Lin's cold, expressionless face.

Yes, the emperor vomited blood and almost fainted. Xie Lin, who said he came to rescue him, had no expression on his face.

Finally, the emperor understood.

No, he had understood it long ago, but at this moment, he gradually gave up. Even if he didn't give up, what else could he do? He could only be forced to accept it!

Xie Lin said: "Before I came here, I had already notified other ministers to enter the palace. According to the time calculation, the ministers should be here soon. At that time, the ministers will join the emperor in trying the Cheng Wang and his wife for treason. Does the emperor have anything else to say at this moment?"

Xie Lin had planned everything, and the emperor was disheartened: "I... really didn't expect that King Cheng would be so ambitious and dare to rebel. He is really, really a traitor!"

"Yeah." Xie Lin agreed with him and took a step forward. His voice was surprisingly gentle, as if he was chatting with the emperor.

"Prince Cheng and his wife already knew that the Crown Prince and I were twins born to the Queen, so they killed the Crown Prince in Xie's mansion and tried to pin the blame on me. If I hadn't noticed it in advance, I would have been the one sentenced to death by the Emperor, and Prince Cheng would have been canonized as the Crown Prince by the Emperor at this moment."

"Ah..." A cry of surprise came from outside the crowd.

There were sounds of footsteps coming one after another. It turned out that the officials of Daqi had arrived. The guards consciously stood on both sides to make way for the officials.

The court officials had obviously heard Xie Lin's words. They were extremely shocked by the death of the prince, Xie Lin's life experience, and Dongfang Shuo's actions, and none of them could recover.

When the emperor saw this scene, he felt that Xie Lin was despicable, treacherous, and cruel. First he murdered the prince, then he rebelled, and now he was putting all the blame on Dongfang Shuo.

It even brought the conspiracy to the surface, turning it into an open conspiracy.

What was hateful was that his life as an emperor was now in Xie Lin's hands. He could only cooperate with Xie Lin's conspiracy and said:

"King Cheng killed his brothers and sisters, his crime is unforgivable! But Prime Minister Xie, you still have to produce evidence that King Cheng killed the crown prince, otherwise the ministers and the people will not believe that King Cheng would do such a thing, and I will not be able to convict King Cheng."

Xie Lin said, "I will produce the evidence, but before that, I want to ask you, am I really the Queen's son? Am I really a twin of the Crown Prince who was killed?"
