Chapter 161 Palace Change
Emperor Jichang was furious and roared:
"Don't even think about it! Someone, come! Kill this rebellious thief!"
His roar echoed throughout the hall, but no one came to protect him.
Emperor Jichang waved the sword in his hand, pointed at the group of Yulin soldiers and said:
"Kill this old man, and I will promote each of you three levels!"
But the Yulin Army did not move.
"Since Your Majesty is so disobedient, today will be the day of Your Majesty's death!" Shi Huairen signaled the Yulin Army behind him to step forward.
The Ninth Prince cried out:
"Grandfather, I don't want to be the emperor. Please don't kill my father, okay? Wuuwuwu..."
Emperor Jichang looked at the Ninth Prince with satisfaction in his eyes, thinking that he was indeed a child raised by his love.
Concubine Shi smiled coldly and said to the Ninth Prince:
"My son, please stop begging for this old man! He is not your biological father at all! Your father is Wang Qing! Where is Wang Qing? Father, please send someone to the prison to rescue Wang Qing!"
Concubine Shi looked at Shi Huairen pleadingly.
Shi Huairen waved his hand, and several Yulin soldiers left as ordered.
Although he hated Wang Qing for kidnapping his daughter, now that the Ninth Prince was about to ascend the throne, saving his biological father would also allow him to gain more favors in front of his daughter and grandson.
Emperor Jichang's eyes were red with anger as he roared:
"Bitch, what did you say?!"
Concubine Shi smiled charmingly, sighed, and said:
"Since it has come to this, I will let you be the one who knows.
Wang Qing and I grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Later, my father's official position became higher and higher, while the Wang family fell into poverty, so my father looked down on the Wang family.
When I received the imperial edict to enter the palace, I had originally eloped with Wang Qing, but was caught by my father and brought back. However, by then, Wang Qing and I had already become husband and wife.
After entering the palace, I found out that I was pregnant, so I bribed the imperial physician to say the month was one month younger.
After ten months of pregnancy, my child was born full-term, but what I report to you is that he was born one month prematurely.
When Wang Qing knew that I gave birth to his child, he was willing to give up everything and enter the palace to become a eunuch just to protect me.
It was because of my tricks that he was not castrated.
I should have lived with Wang Qing in this life, but it's all your fault!"
When Concubine Shi finished speaking, there was anger on her face.
The Ninth Prince was struck by lightning.
His father wanted to kill his mother, his grandfather wanted to kill his father, and now his father is no longer his father.
Poor child, he received too much information in this day.
Emperor Jichang had experienced great shock, great anger, and great sorrow. At this moment, he felt dizzy and looked dejected.
He had just thought that the worst outcome would be to pass the throne to the Ninth Prince, which would not be considered a loss of the ancestral foundation, but he did not expect that the Ninth Prince was actually a bastard.
"It is impossible for me to write an edict to pass on the throne. Even if he ascends the throne, it is not legitimate. If you kill me, you will not be able to sit firmly on this throne!"
Emperor Jichang still has some backbone.
"Then don't blame me for being rude!" Shi Huairen's eyes were cold and he waved his hand behind him.
A group of Yulin soldiers, holding long swords in their hands, moved forward step by step, and were about to surround Emperor Jichang and the trembling eunuch Lin.
Gu Xi, who had been hiding on the rooftop watching the show, saw a flash of golden light before his eyes:
Complete side quest 2 and uncover Concubine Shi's secret.
Reward: Upgrade any skill by one level.
use or not?
Gu Xi said: "System, please save it for me."
"Okay! The host has saved two skill upgrades."
Gu Xi felt that the time was almost up, so he jumped down.
He stepped directly on the heads of the Yulin Army and flew to the center of the hall.
"Your Majesty, I am here to save you!"
Seeing that reinforcements had finally arrived, Emperor Jichang's gloomy eyes suddenly brightened.
"Qi Aiqing, how many people did you bring with you?"
"Eight hundred!" Gu Xi said.
Schweiren laughed out loud:
"Qi Dasheng, you came just in time. If you hadn't come, I would have sent someone to the Imperial Master's Mansion. This would have saved us a lot of trouble! The overall situation has been decided. You, with only 800 people, are just like a mantis trying to stop a chariot! Why don't you just surrender!"
The light in Emperor Jichang's eyes dimmed again.
Yes, the dark mass of Yulin Army outside was so overwhelming that even his imperial guards could not stop them. Eight hundred people against more than 20,000 Yulin Army was like hitting a rock with an egg.
Gu Xi said:
"Oh? Lord Shi thinks our teacher is dead?"
Shi Huairen sneered:
"What? You still want to defeat more than 20,000 Yulin troops with your little tricks? Unless you can command the gods to lend you heavenly soldiers and generals!"
Gu Xi hugged his shoulders with both hands and pretended to tremble:
"Oh, I'm so scared! Then, Master Shi, my master has something I don't understand. Can you please answer my question before I die?"
Schwabery said:
"What's the matter that you don't understand?"
Gu Xi said:
"I have the testimonies of Bi Pengwei and Shen Kun. Both of them said that you forged the secret letter from Beiyan and instructed Bi Pengwei to sneak into the search of General Gu Zhengde's study. I want to know why you did this?"
Shi Huairen snorted coldly:
"You really are from the Gu family!"
Seeing that he didn't answer, Gu Xi took two steps forward, stared into Shi Huairen's eyes and said:
"I can probably guess that you did this because General Gu discovered that you were plotting a rebellion, so you wanted to silence him, right?"
She'd better not mention the cuckold thing in front of the dog emperor.
It was not a glorious thing for Concubine Shi to give birth to Wang Qing's child, so Shi Huairen naturally would not mention it. He said coldly:
"So what? The Gu family knew something they shouldn't have known, but they refused to work for me, so they should be eliminated! But now the situation has been decided, there is no point in talking any more, let's do it!"
"Wait!" Gu Xi said, "I'll say a few more words, and it won't be too late for you to take action later."
"Your Majesty, you have heard it too. The Gu family was wrongly accused. It was all Shi Huairen's frame-up. If I save Your Majesty today, can I ask for Your Majesty's favor? Give the Gu family a fair hearing!"
How could Emperor Jichang not respond at this time?
Little did they know that Gu Xi, a rookie in the workplace, was committing a serious taboo by forcing Emperor Jichang to make a promise under such circumstances, and it left a thorn in Emperor Jichang's heart.
"If Qi Aiqing can really solve today's dilemma, I will personally issue an order to vindicate the Gu family!"
After getting the promise from Emperor Jichang, Gu Xi said to Chu Zhao on the other side of the intercom:
"It's time to move."
Chu Zhao, who was hiding outside the palace gate, immediately led 800 special forces to rush into the palace.
"Charge! Kill the traitors!"
The Yulin Army was not prepared for another force to emerge from the darkness and had to fight back in a hurry.
But in front of hot weapons, cold weapons are nothing.
The special forces killed one enemy with every bullet.
Throw grenades when you encounter a group of people.
Inside the palace, Shi Huairen sneered:
"Then you should go to the underworld to vindicate the Gu family!"
Then he signaled the Yulin Army to move forward.
