Chapter 776 Conspiracy
In the deep underground palace, it was pitch black all around, with only a candlestick lit at the end, and a slender figure was elongated in the candlelight.
A man in a green robe was standing beside him. He said, "Your Highness, there is a good opportunity to take action now. The emperor is not in the palace, and the palace is in chaos. Your Highness has been spreading the net for so long, it's time to close it."
There was a portrait of a man wearing a dragon robe hanging on the wall. The light around it was dim and the faint candlelight shone on the portrait. The emperor in the portrait had deep eyes.
Xie Kang stared at the portrait and fell into deep thought. Xie Shang took all the members of the Xie family to the Hengyang Imperial Mausoleum and asked them to confess in front of Emperor Hui Jing.
If anyone needs to repent, it should be Xie Jing who repents to all the ancestors of the Xie family. It was he who murdered the emperor and seized the throne, and killed his father in order to sit on the throne as soon as possible. Not only was this told to him by his mother, but there were also people who could prove that Xie Jing was a hypocrite, and that all the important officials in the court were his lackeys, and he excluded any objections.
"The Empress Dowager is in his hands, so we can't take any action now." Xie Kang said again.
The confidant was anxious, "The Empress Dowager said not to consider her. She will help you when necessary. Prince, you can't miss the opportunity! You have endured for more than 30 years. Now as long as you give the order, the brothers will obey the order and attack the palace at any time. The emperor is far away in Hengyang and he can't rush back."
The Empress Dowager's meaning was obvious. She would never become a pawn in the hands of the Emperor. If necessary, she would risk her life to help Prince Kang. If the Empress Dowager suddenly died while Xie Shang was imprisoned, he would not be able to explain himself.
"Wait a little longer." Xie Kang said.
"Empress Jiang has captured Cheng Zhong. If he reveals the people we have planted in the palace, once these people are found out by Empress Jiang, this move will be in vain. Your Majesty cannot wait any longer."
Xie Kang said coldly: "Even if Xie Shang is in the imperial city, he will have to abdicate if I want the throne."
Over the past few decades, he had already established a kingdom, and now he even had the ability to proclaim himself emperor, but he did not do so because he did not know whether this was the result his father wanted to see.
Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it had been stagnant since the reign of Emperor Huijing. Xie Jing raised hawks and dogs for his use, but those hawks and dogs were the real culprits for the Great Zhou.
When Xie Shang took over the throne, he was the first person to rebel against Xie Jing. Not only did he eliminate several major families such as the Yang and Qin families who had been used by Xie Jing as accomplices, but even the Su family was wiped out.
He couldn't understand whether the world should be united or divided. If he attacked Beijing directly, the war would surely bring disaster to the people.
And there is Jiang Fenghua. Why did she want to deal with the Su family? The Jiang family also eliminated the ministers that Emperor Hui Jing had diligently tried to win over.
When he arrived in Shengjing City and saw the changes in Shengjing, he couldn't understand it.
"Your Highness." The subordinate called him again, "The Empress Dowager left an imperial decree, and when the time is right, you will take action. Your Highness, please do not disappoint the Empress Dowager! Changing the emperor will change the world. The future of the Great Zhou Dynasty can only be left in your hands."
After a moment, Xie Kang said, "Let's do it!"
The confidant said happily: "Yes, I will prepare it right away. How should we deal with that secret guard?"
Xie Kang said in a deep voice, "He's too tight-lipped. There's no point in keeping him. Let's get rid of him!" He didn't expect Xie Shang's people to be so loyal. He is different from his father.
The confidant said respectfully, "Yes."
Your Majesty should have made a decision long ago. If you hesitate, you will suffer the consequences.
There was a man covered in blood curled up in the corner. When he saw the person coming, he said coldly, "If you want to kill me, do it immediately. If you drag your feet, you are not a man."
The word "man" seemed to hurt the visitor's heart. He picked up the mace on the ground and hit Ye Ying again. "The harder your bones are, the harder I will not let you die. I will torture you slowly and make you unable to die even if you want to."
Ye Ying had gotten to know his temper quite well these past few days, so he deliberately angered him, "Isn't it inconvenient for a man to not have that thing?"
The man was so angry that he suddenly revealed his true colors and raised his orchid finger, "You are looking for death."
"You won't kill me. If you kill me, no one will know the secret that you are not a man. You have been pretending to be a man. You must be very lonely!" Ye Ying said again: "You want to marry but can't. You are so old. Are you the concubine of King Kang?"
The next moment, the man swung the mace in his hand towards Yeying's lower abdomen.
Ye Ying's whole body was shaking with pain. They should kill him, so that he wouldn't have to suffer anymore and wouldn't become a burden to Aoxue and the others.
The man also saw it, "You want to die, right? I won't kill you, let you taste what it feels like to not be a man."
Ye Ying's head and face were covered in blood. He was now in so much pain that his whole body was twitching, his teeth were chattering, and he couldn't utter a word. He sneered with blood in his mouth, "It's not that you don't want to kill me, but you can't kill me. Even if I die as a secret guard, there are still thousands of secret guards protecting the emperor. Prince Kang is just a coward. He couldn't defeat the previous emperor, and now he can't defeat the emperor. Go find Prince Kang. I want to tell him in person where the emperor's secret guards are hiding."
The reason why he was deceived was because of Butler Cheng. He treated Butler Cheng as his own, but he didn't expect that Butler Cheng betrayed the emperor.
Butler Cheng actually helped Prince Kang to send a spy into the palace. The spy disguised himself as him and set fire to Kunning Palace. At that time, he was too anxious to catch the murderer, so he fell into their trap.
At this moment, a man who looked exactly like him appeared in front of him, "From now on he will return to the palace in your place."
Ye Ying said coldly: "What do you want to do?"
"Of course, to complete his unfinished task." the man said again.
Ye Ying panicked instantly. Did he want to set fire again? How could there be someone in this world who looked exactly like him? Did he also have the ability of the Thousand Faces Man and could change his face into a thousand different shapes?
He looked at the man carefully; his face did not look like a mask.
The man handed Yeying's token to the man, "From now on, you are Yeying, and Yeying is you, go!"
The man cupped his hands and said, "As you wish."
Yeying shouted, "Come back, come back."
The man sneered and said, "You are very tough, now you are afraid, but why are you so scared?"
"You androgynous eunuch, you are so evil even though you have no offspring. Even if Prince Kang becomes the emperor, you can't be the queen. How many years can you live? Do you still expect Prince Kang to appoint you as the chief eunuch?" Ye Ying had never thought that he could curse. He was only worried about what the fake Ye Ying would do when he entered the palace, and whether Aoxue could recognize that he was a fake.
