Everything happened too quickly.
Lu Wenzhao, who was not weak and was standing right next to Thousand Housekeeper Liu, did not react in time to block Tian Boguang's swift blade or push Thousand Housekeeper Liu away to avoid it!
No matter how big his imagination was, how could he have thought that Ling Chen would actually dare to kill someone here?!
Most importantly, after he killed someone in public, he still asked Commander Tian about it as if nothing had happened. Could it be that in his opinion, the position would be vacant because of Thousand Households Liu's death?？
Before this, Lu Wenzhao felt that he had already placed great importance on Ling Chen, and had even planned to recommend him to his master.
But at this moment, he swore that he would never have such thoughts again.
Was this guy crazy?
"How dare you!"
" Courting death!!!"
"Protector beast!"
After the unprecedented shock, Zhu Bujue, the eunuchs of the East and West Depots, and even the ministers and scholars all reacted at the same time. They pointed at Ling Chen and shouted, and at the same time, everyone subconsciously surrounded the Emperor, protecting him.
The Emperor was stunned. He looked at this scene in disbelief and did not come back to his senses for a long time.
Wei Zhongxian exchanged glances with Cao Zhengchun and Liu Xi, and joy flashed across his eyes.
"I thought this kid had some ability, but he actually courted death. This time, we don't even need to do anything. This person will definitely die!”
With this thought in mind, Wei Zhongxian turned to Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun with anger on his face."What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and capture this person and dismember him as a warning!!”
"Ah?"
Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun suddenly came to a realization.
Just as the two of them were about to call out to the other Embroidered Uniform Guards and East Hall servants, Ling Chen calmly said,"Lord Tian is the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and Lord Xu is the Guardian. You should know what the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'duties are, right?”
His expression was too calm, but it carried an undisguised arrogance.
When Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun heard this, they were stunned.
Before they could respond, Pei Lun spoke loudly,"The Brocade Guard is the Emperor's personal army. They are in charge of the imperial guards, patrols, and detectives. Anyone who is detrimental to the Emperor or the Imperial Court is an enemy of the Brocade Guard!”
These words were inexplicable, and everyone was dumbfounded.
However, Princess Yun Luo suddenly reacted and said in shock,""Could it be that this Thousand Households Liu is actually going to harm Imperial Brother?!”
Everyone was shocked.
"Princess is very smart."
Ling Chen faintly smiled.
"Nonsense!" Xu Xianchun was so angry that he laughed, pointing at Ling Chen and shouting," I was the one who personally promoted Thousand Households Liu. He has served in the North Town Governor's Office for many years and is loyal to the Emperor and the court. How could he commit such a treasonous act…"
Before he could finish his words, his expression suddenly changed!
Everyone under Ling Chen, including Ba Dao, Pei Lun, Azure Dragon, Tian Boguang, and the other Embroidered Uniform Guards, looked at him with a strange expression that made Ling Chen's heart tremble.
There was a conspiracy!
Xu Xianchun's heart thumped wildly. He subconsciously turned to look at Wei Zhongxian, but at this moment, a faint sneer sounded in his ear."Does this mean that Lord Xu admits that this Thousand Households Liu is your trusted aide?”
The sound was like a thunderclap, causing Xu Xianchun's body to tremble violently, as if he had been petrified on the spot!
As the Jinyiwei's Guardian, how could he not be familiar with this tone?!
This was the rhythm of framing him!!
As expected, in the next moment, Ling Chen's sonorous and powerful voice entered everyone's ears,"Lord Xu, your corruption and perverting the law, disrupting the court, betraying the country, and even attempting to assassinate the emperor have been exposed!!”
Silence!
Dead silence!
This short sentence caused a shock to everyone present that was 100 times more shocking than Thousand Housekeeper Liu's death-but not because of these terrifying crimes, but because Ling Chen had actually pointed the spearhead at Xu Xianchun!
The Northern Guard of the Brocade Guard!
This was his true goal. That Thousand Households Liu was just a side goal!!
"Crazy!"
Those who were present today were all old foxes who had been in the court for many years. Therefore, to them, was the matter of the Embroidered Uniform Guards taking bribes and bending the law very new? And did a mere Xu Xianchun have the qualifications to disrupt the court?
As for betraying the country and attempting to assassinate the emperor?
Stop joking!
Even if Xu Xianchun was given a hundred guts, he would not dare to have such thoughts!
Furthermore, he was merely the governor of the North Garrison Department, a dog raised by Wei Zhongxian. Even if he had the heart, where would he find the strength to plot a rebellion to assassinate the Emperor?？
Therefore, without any hesitation, everyone present knew that the crimes Ling Chen had mentioned were all framed!
Weaving crimes and framing court officials were the best skills of the Embroidered Uniform Guards!
However, it was precisely because of this that Zhu Bujue, Yan Song, Wei Zhongxian, and the others were shocked, especially the three eunuchs of the East Chamber and Tian Ergeng. They had always used this method to deal with others. When had they ever thought that someone would use the same method to deal with them one day?!
And this person was one of the Embroidered Uniform Guards!!
Even though they had been extremely wary of Ling Chen, Wei Zhongxian, Cao Zhengchun, and Liu Xi had never thought that his scheme would be so big!!
Since he dared to frame Xu Xianchun in public, he must have been fully prepared!!
In the next moment, under the gloomy gazes of the three eunuchs, Ling Chen waved his right hand, and a figure dressed in a flying fish robe flew in from outside the courtyard like a ghost. In his hand was a person that looked like a man and a woman-it was Princess Li Xiu.
The moment they saw this figure, the expressions of Zhu Budian and Guihai Yidao changed.
"Ba Dao!"
"He actually wore the Flying Fish Garment and became an Embroidered Uniform Guard?!!”
Ba Dao's gaze also landed on the two of them. However, he didn't say anything. Instead, he casually threw Princess Li Xiu to the ground.
Before Zhu Bujue and Guihai Yidao could react, they heard Princess Li Xiu suddenly speak.
"Great Ming Emperor above, I am a Japanese ninja. This time, I pretended to be the princess of the Yun Nation and secretly robbed the Empress Dowager under the orders of Lord Xu of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. I wanted to use this to distract the East Bureau, the West Bureau, the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa so that I could assassinate the Emperor!”
Princess Li Xiu's face was pale as if she had fallen into despair. She confessed everything in a very " frank " and " cooperative " manner.
As he said this, his gaze seemed to fall on Xu Xianchun."Lord Xu accepted the money from the East Ocean King and promised to help us conquer the Great Ming Empire. That Thousand Households Liu is Lord Xu's subordinate, and he's the one who contacted us…"
Xu Xianchun could no longer hear the rest of his words.
He looked at Princess Li Xiu in a daze. His mind was blank, and the whites of his eyes rolled back. He almost fainted.
He did not know why Princess Li Xiu would frame him, nor did he understand what kind of deal Ling Chen and Princess Li Xiu had made. At this moment, he only knew one thing-
He was finished!
