Chapter 214 With him around, she won’t be afraid
"Misunderstand?!"
Su Jixue looked straight at Emperor Ming, without any of the humility of a subject meeting the emperor, nor the shame of having done something wrong: "This subject's injuries are not a misunderstanding!"
"Just now, Madam Jiang even used a special skill that she shouldn't have used. If it weren't for your good luck, I would have been killed long ago!"
When Su Jixue's peach blossom eyes with upturned corners turned cold, they actually looked a bit like Empress Dowager Xie.
"Your Majesty, this Madam Jiang is relying on her relationship with the Queen Mother to act as an accomplice to the evil, secretly colluding with Nan Qing!"
Su Jixue clearly wanted to get rid of Empress Dowager Xie first, otherwise it would be difficult to drag Empress Dowager Xie into the water. She wanted to kill Nanny Jiang first and then talk about other things.
"You're lying!" Nanny Jiang spat out blood and looked at Su Jixue with hatred. It was impossible for Su Jixue to know about her and Zong Kui. She was just framing her: "Your Majesty, I plead guilty, but I must ask the Queen Mother..."
Before Nanny Jiang could finish her words, she saw a line of blood in front of her.
Then, her head flew out.
The last thing Nanny Jiang saw was the blood stains splattered on the white clothes of the War King after her head was severed.
The War King's handsome face was as cold as an ice sculpture, with spots of blood splattered on it, making it look somewhat charming and bewitching. In a trance, Madam Jiang actually superimposed this face with the woman who had died in the sea of fire.
Could it be...?
Before Nanny Jiang could figure out what was happening, the body fell to the ground with a loud bang.
"Don't be afraid."
Slender fingers like cold jade covered Su Jixue's eyes, as if not wanting her to see this cruel scene.
The cool aura from the War King hit me in the face, and it was a reassuring smell.
Only Jun Wuzui always seemed to treat her as a woman who needed protection. The cold curve at the corner of Su Jixue's lips warmed up, and the three words she wanted to say, "Good kill," turned into: "With you here, I'm not afraid."
Nanny Jiang must die. Even if Prince Zhan doesn't kill her, Su Jixue will kill her in the end. No matter what the emperor's attitude is, Nanny Jiang must not be allowed to stay. Staying here will only bring disaster.
"Not guilty..." Emperor Ming was horrified as he watched the War King, who had suddenly attacked and killed someone before him. The War King had also snatched the guard's sword and attacked, just like the spear. The palace's rules seemed to have lost their effect in his presence.
"Your Majesty, please don't blame the prince. This servant deserved to die. She has spoken wildly more than once before, and was extremely rude to the Queen Mother!" Su Jixue spoke before Prince Zhan could speak. She was a professional at passing the buck.
"Besides, she wants to kill me to cover up her crime. Oh, Your Majesty, the Regent Prince Zongkui of Nanqing is in the cold palace now! Please lead your troops to surround the cold palace!"
Su Jixue seemed to have finally remembered this matter. She looked around and said hurriedly, "If it's too late, he'll run away again!"
In front of the Yangxin Palace, guards stood in a row, and Su Jixue's words immediately caused an uproar.
"What? Zong Kui is in the cold palace?!"
"I heard it right, that's the regent of Nanqing. What does he want to do to us Dongchu?"
"Damn it, we can't let him get away!"
……
Even in the presence of the emperor, the guards could not help but talk about it. You know, the news that the emperor sent people to investigate the case had already spread, and everyone knew about the 120,000 people who died in vain.
This made everyone in Dongchu feel that they were in dire straits.
If they dared to murder 120,000 people, would they dare to sell Dongchu outright and turn it into Nanqing's territory someday?!
All Dongchu people can’t tolerate this!
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go!"
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go!"
The court officials who had no idea what was happening in the palace and came with the emperor to watch the excitement were also filled with righteous indignation and wanted to capture Zongkui.
Just this one name was enough to infuriate the ministers.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the Xiaoying Camp to capture the clan leader and avenge the lives of 120,000 men of Dongchu!" Seeing that Su Jixue had provoked the indignation of everyone present, the War King looked at Su Jixue deeply, covered his face with his long sleeves, held her hand and said in a deep voice.
Zongkui is here, this is the reason why the King of War came.
Originally, I still needed to argue with the emperor, but since Su Jixue has made things clear, I can now of course express my attitude directly.
Emperor Ming's eyes darkened, and seeing the situation before him, he knew that it was irreversible.
The Owl Camp is the elite of the elite under the command of the War King. If the Owl Camp enters the palace, there is no guarantee what will happen.
Who knows if this is a chance for the War King to force the emperor to abdicate.
"Your Highness, it's unprecedented for you to lead troops into the palace. You are really making things difficult for His Majesty." Seeing that the emperor was reluctant to speak, Eunuch Feng beside the emperor immediately spoke up.
"Then may I ask, has the enemy's regent resided in our own harem? Has this ever happened in the past?" Su Jixue couldn't help but sneer. She turned her head and looked at everyone present: "In an emergency, we have to make decisions based on our situation. Although Dong Chu won the battle of Gu'an, we paid a huge price. If someone hadn't colluded with the enemy, this price should not have been paid!"
"Before, there was the battle of Gu'an, and now the enemy's regent is leading his men directly into the Zhan Wang Mansion! Don't think that the Zhan Wang is a god, and as long as he is in Dongchu, everything will be safe!"
"It wasn't just 120,000 Dong Chu soldiers who died in the Battle of Gu'an. If it weren't for the War King's good fortune, they would have perished on the battlefield long ago!"
"And these are all Nanqing's secret conspiracies!"
"Does His Majesty want to wait until Zong Kui's conspiracy succeeds and all the officers and soldiers of our Dong Chu Dynasty are killed by Nan Qing's scheme before he regrets it?!"
"If one day the iron hoofs of Nanqing crush Dongchu, it must be because the emperor is afraid to make a decisive decision now!"
"Don't forget that Zong Kui failed to escape the capital because I risked my life to keep him here!"
Su Jixue spoke one sentence after another, looking at the emperor in front of her aggressively, and by the way, she also gilded herself.
She dared to do this because the War King was right beside her.
More importantly, Su Jixue also wanted to see the emperor's attitude clearly, so that she could decide how to treat the emperor next.
"How dare you!" Eunuch Feng's face darkened. He didn't expect Su Jixue to be so reckless as to scold the emperor directly.
"I guarantee with my life that Zong Kui is in the back hall of the cold palace!" Su Jixue responded directly with a more forceful attitude: "Who in the palace is supporting us? Who is so powerful? The world will not allow the 120,000 soldiers who died in vain to die tragically."
"Those heroic spirits of Dong Chu are watching us from above!"
Su Jixue looked at everyone present with a sad face. She was very familiar with inciting emotions before, and now she could handle this kind of situation even more easily.
Moreover, she could see that when Eunuch Feng spoke again just now, even Emperor Ming seemed a little surprised.
You have to know that the Emperor called Eunuch Feng his "Great Companion," a friendship they had forged since childhood. So it was normal for Eunuch Feng to speak on behalf of the Emperor, but speaking in anger was not considered unruly.
But speaking again before the emperor opened his mouth or gave a signal was not what Eunuch Feng should do.
Unless, what Su Jixue said was too fatal, so that Eunuch Feng unconsciously exposed his position. This Eunuch Feng was Empress Dowager Xie's man!
