"Let go of me. I'm going to chop off this nonsense's head today.”At this moment, Yan Dan was already so angry that he couldn't differentiate the situation. He aimed his head at Han Ren and shouted angrily.
"Dan, calm down." Han Ren's eyes were also filled with anger, but his tone was still calm." This is still in the imperial court.”
"I don't care where he is. You can't frame me."
Seeing Yan Dan's reaction, Lou Yun's eyes were filled with pride. Cheng Yin and the others also had very satisfied expressions when they saw this.
Now, he was just a little bit away from success!
Similarly, the imperial court was filled with voices. Some officials were angrily rebuking Lou Yun's nonsense, while others retorted," If there's no source, how can it be groundless?"
In the eyes of outsiders, Chen Yuan was standing at the side as if it had nothing to do with him. However, he was actually trying to persuade Ming Cheya to calm down and put down the trident in her hand.
"Those ants actually dared to frame you. I'll stab them to death.”Ming Cheya's face was cold. She picked up the weapon that she hadn't used in a long time and prepared to go over.
Chen Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at her. Feeling the powerful power contained in the trident, he quickly advised,"Xiao Die, Imperial Brother and I have already arranged this matter. Moreover, this halberd of yours will probably destroy this place.”
Ming Cheya thought about it and agreed, but she was still dissatisfied.""Hmph, you can't frame me. If they were dissatisfied, they should challenge him openly. If they lost, they could not complain. If he came again, he would beat him until he was convinced.”
When Shen Yuan heard this, he did not know how to explain to her that the style of doing things here was different from the Underworld. He could only agree from the side and dispel her thoughts of interfering.
Seeing that the mortal really didn't want her to interfere, Ming Cheya obediently kept her weapon back into the Dimensional Space despite her dissatisfaction. She leaned against the Abyss again and stood at the side.
Chen Yuan raised his hand and gently stroked Ming Cheya's head. His eyes were gentle as he said,""Xiao Die, thank you."
Ming Cheya snorted coldly and ignored him.
After seeing the mortal's repeated requests, she reluctantly agreed to his request this time. But there won't be a next time, Ming Cheya thought to herself.
The storm in Chen Ke's eyes became more and more dangerous as she saw the increasingly noisy court. Finally, he couldn't help but say coldly,""Shut up."
In an instant, the court became silent.
Everyone was so scared that they did not dare to look up at the Emperor's angry face.
"Lou Yun, do you have any evidence?”Chen Ke said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Lou Yun quickly replied," Just a few days ago, I received news that there were letters to barbarians hidden in the Imperial Residence of King Jing.”
"Someone come." Chen Ke shouted.
Then, a few guards wearing armor and carrying sabers walked in.
"Go and search the Imperial Residence of King Jing now and see if you can find any letters to the enemy.”Chen Ke ordered.
"Yes."
After the guards left, the court fell silent.
Cheng Yin and the others were feeling smug. King Jing was finally going to be defeated by them.
After a while, the guards returned to the court. When Lou Yun saw this, his eyes burst with intense excitement, like a hungry wolf staring at its food.
However, the guard's words made Lou Yun feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Reporting to the Emperor, this subordinate did not find any letters in the Imperial Residence of King Jing.”
"Then you may leave." Chen Ke then turned her gaze back to Lou Yun, the corners of her mouth curling up into a cold smile." Lou Yun, do you have anything else to say?"”
Lou Yun looked up in panic and immediately knelt on the ground."Emperor, this subject is speaking the truth."
" Every word is true?!" Chen Ke spat out the words one by one and said with a cold smile," Could it be that the guards in my palace were also bribed by King Jing?”
" This..." Large droplets kept dripping down Lou Yun's forehead. He looked at the ground in panic, not knowing what to say.
"Men, pluck Lou Yun's black sand and take him away.”Chen Ke waved her hand and said in a deep voice.
"Emperor, please spare my life. What this subordinate said was true!”Lou Yun shouted when he saw that he was about to be taken away. Seeing that the Emperor was still ignoring him, he panicked and turned his gaze to Cheng Yin.
"Right Prime Minister, you have to save me."
Cheng Yin, who had known that his plan had been exposed, was nervous. He did not expect Lou Yun to be so stupid as to shout his name in the hall.
Cheng Yin's face turned pale, and he immediately stood up and scolded Lou Yun,""As an official of the Imperial Court, you dare to slander a relative of the Imperial Family? Now, you want to frame me. How shameless."
Lou Yun looked at Cheng Yin in disbelief. He had not expected that the Right Prime Minister would abandon him completely at this moment and even confirm his crime.
After Lou Yun was taken out, Cheng Yin turned around and respectfully said to the Emperor,""Your Majesty, this old minister has served the late emperor loyally since young. How could he do such a treasonous thing to you! Emperor, you must not be deceived by that traitor.”
Chen Ke looked at Cheng Yin with a faint smile and did not speak. Then, the Emperor raised his hands and clapped them. After a while, a man with disheveled hair and covered in blood, whose hands and feet were chained, was brought up.
The moment he saw the man, Cheng Yin's face turned even paler, and he took a step back in a daze.
"Senior Prime Minister, do you know this man?”Chen Ke looked at Cheng Yin and said with a smile.
Cheng Yin was sweating profusely, and his hands and legs hidden in his sleeves were trembling slightly. Suppressing his trembling and weak voice, he nervously replied,""No, no, I have never seen him before.”
"But he didn't say that." Chen Ke looked at Cheng Yin with a cold smile. Seeing that his entire body was trembling slightly because of her words and his face was pale and uneasy, Chen Ke felt extremely happy.
Chen Ke shifted her gaze from Cheng Yin to the prisoners kneeling in the hall. She asked coldly with a dark face,""Li Yu, do you know the Right Prime Minister?"
Because of a night of torture, Li Yu was now covered in injuries. He raised his head and turned his head to look at the place that Chen Ke pointed at. When he saw Cheng Yin's face, he nodded weakly to show that he recognized him.
The moment Cheng Yin was targeted by Li Yu, he knew that his plan had been exposed. At the same time, he had a trace of hope in his heart. Therefore, he secretly gave Li Yu a threatening look, telling Li Yu, who was secretly loyal to him and trained soldiers, not to give him up.
However, the moment he saw Li Yu nod, Cheng Yin was a little unsteady.
Li Yu actually dared to betray him. However, he had yet to say what he had done. Perhaps there was still a chance.
At that moment, Cheng Yin's heart was filled with violent emotions. However, in order to remain calm, he tried his best to suppress his emotions.
"Right Prime Minister, does he know you?" Chenke said coldly."
"Your Majesty, I really don't know this person!”As he said that, Cheng Yin knelt down with a face full of tears and said with an aggrieved expression.
"Then you're saying that the emperor slandered you, right prime minister.”Left Prime Minister Bai Ming finally understood what was going on today after seeing the series of events. He immediately stood up and criticized Cheng Yin." How dare you!”
It seemed that the Senior Prime Minister had made a series of plans to make King Jing step down, but he did not expect that the Emperor and the others would see through them one by one and even turn the tables on him.
Cheng Yin cursed Bai Ming in his heart but ignored him. He knelt down with a bang and shouted at Chen Ke with tears in his eyes,""Emperor, how could this old minister think this way? This old official is loyal to you, and this official doesn't know what's going on with the person kneeling in the hall.”
"Oh, doesn't the Senior Prime Minister know?" Chen Ke sneered." Then I'll let Li Yu tell you."”
After saying that, Cheng Yin turned to Li Yu with a fierce look and shouted,""You dare to slander this official in front of the emperor, this official will not forgive you.”
Seeing the viciousness in Cheng Yin's eyes, Li Yu couldn't help but tremble as usual, but when he thought of how their forces had been eradicated last night, and how he had fallen into this situation as well. In an instant, Li Yu realized that his fear was completely unnecessary.
And Cheng Yin was still struggling on his deathbed.
Li Yu didn't bother with Cheng Yin. He turned around and confessed with an ashen face,""In fact, the traitor was not King Jing but You Xiangyin.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the court was in an uproar.
Left Prime Minister Bai Ming looked at the man who had served the late king with him in disbelief. He roared at Cheng Yin in anger,""Cheng Yin, by doing this, you are not letting down the previous Emperor who once promoted you, and not letting down the millions of citizens of this Xingchen Kingdom.”
Cheng Yin knelt on the ground with a pale face and did not speak.
Li Yu didn't care about the others and continued to explain silently,""A few days ago, you asked us to hide the letter of collusion into King Jing's Imperial Residence so that we could frame King Jing today. Moreover, this war with the barbarians was also a scheme by Cheng Yin and the barbarians to send King Jing away. When he reached the border without anyone to protect him, he would send someone to get rid of him. At that time, the Emperor would be the only one left in the Imperial City to replace him.”
After saying that, Li Yu closed his eyes weakly.
"Cheng Yin, what else do you have to say?”Chen Ke said angrily.
Cheng Yin, whose eyes were originally closed, suddenly burst into laughter. This made everyone look at him as if they were looking at a madman.
"Cheng Yin, what are you laughing at?" Bai Ming stood up and said angrily.
"Laughing at me for being so wise that I actually made a mistake.”Cheng Yin revealed his true colors at this moment. He looked at Li Yudao with a vicious face." If I had known that this slave would betray me, I would have killed him."”
"Old thief, you still dare to be so arrogant even now.”Han Yun stood up and shouted angrily.
"The winner takes all. Since we've already lost, there's nothing we can do.”Cheng Yin stopped smiling, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile that no one could understand." Emperor, quickly throw me into prison."”
However, Emperor, you will get me out of prison sooner or later. Because I still have something in my hand that you would never expect. pawn
