Chapter 311: The Truth Revealed
Chapter 311: The Truth Revealed
When Xing Tianming and Jun Jiuchen stepped out of the Zichen Palace again and came to the open space outside the Zichen Palace.
Yun Zheng was holding a blood-stained sword and holding Xing Zixian hostage. His white brocade robe was stained with blood, which was not sure whether it was his own or someone else's.
It was obviously a hard fight.
At this time, the number of Yulin Guards following behind him was less than thirty.
Fang Yuan was tied up tightly and was pushed forward by two Yulin guards.
Seeing his father being escorted to his presence, Yun Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
fine……
Father is fine.
He pressed the tip of his sword against Xing Zixian's neck and raised his voice.
"Xing Tianming, let my father go!"
"Otherwise..." He pressed his wrist, and a line of blood immediately seeped out from Xing Zixian's neck.
Although he didn't know what had happened, he was aware of the various events that had taken place outside the palace today, including the guards who had prevented them from entering the ministers' residences and taking hostages.
It was still the old member of the Zhennan Army of my father who had been slow to come to support.
All of this explains...
Xing Tianming has turned against us!
But at this moment, he had no time to investigate the inside story.
Because right now, the most important thing is to rescue my father.
When Xing Tianming saw that his son was actually captured, his pupils suddenly shrank.
What happened? How did Xian'er fall into Yun Zheng's hands?
Can……
He had finally brought King Huai to justice, how could he let him go!
Xing Zixian saw his father's eyes, but smiled indifferently and shouted to Xing Tianming.
"Old man, don't be soft-hearted!"
"I've never done anything serious in my life. Today I'm going to die in a blazing way and do something big to show them!"
As he spoke, his hands, which were tied behind his back, trembled uncontrollably.
Of course he is afraid of death.
But years ago.
He just learned about his father's past.
It turns out that my father and brother have been enduring and lying dormant all these years.
Only he, under the protection of his father and brother, has lived happily for so many years.
He finally understood why his father was strict with his brother but not harsh on his idleness.
It turned out that his brother had taken on everything for him, and they...
Just to keep him out of these disputes.
He had already lost enough and didn't want to hold them back at this time.
Speaking of which...
It’s all the fault of that crazy woman Fang Yuan!
After leaving the palace today, she secretly followed him and kept pestering him because he had testified against the Regent Princess in the palace today.
They said she was an ungrateful person who ignored her elder sister Haowan's life-saving grace and helped others to deal with her.
He knew that something unexpected had happened in the capital today, and was afraid that something bad would happen to her if he locked her up outside the mansion, so he wanted to send her home.
Who knew he was so unlucky that he was bumped into by Yun Zheng who was fleeing from being chased by the Black Armored Guards.
then……
They were held hostage for no apparent reason.
He had said long ago that he would be in trouble if he met this crazy woman!
When Xing Zixian was daydreaming, Yun Zheng scolded him.
"Shut up!"
Xing Zixian was frightened by Yun Zheng, but he roared back without showing any weakness.
"What are you yelling about? Kill me now if you dare!"
"Also, it's fine if you kidnapped me and threatened my father, but as for the Fang family, my father is currently ill and can't attend court. What's the point of kidnapping a useless woman?"
Fang Yuan was shocked and scared because he was suddenly arrested.
Especially after knowing that the Xing family was on the same side as Sister Tong Wan, he felt very regretful for going to look for Xing Zixian today.
But at this moment, the tears on his face had not yet dried, but he held his head high stubbornly and said nothing.
She couldn't beg for mercy...
Don't show fear...
Sister Wan is the benefactor of the Fang family, and she cannot drag her down.
At this moment, Yun Zheng was so angry at Xing Zixian's jokes that he gritted his teeth.
At this moment, he had no patience to watch them act out the father-son love drama, so he just reached out and slashed at his neck, and Xing Zixian fainted immediately.
Seeing that his ears were finally quiet, Yun Zheng looked at Xing Tianming again.
"Xing Tianming, I'm asking you again, this guy...are you going to let him go or not?"
Jun Jiuchen saw the situation in front of him, but his eyes narrowed slightly. He glanced at Xing Tianming who was in a dilemma, and seemed to have thought of something. He pressed his shoulders calmly, and his slender fingers exerted a little force under his sleeves, signaling him to be patient.
"It is truly moving that Prince Yun did not hesitate to throw himself into the trap and break into the palace to save his father."
Before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly became cold.
"But Prince Yun, have you ever thought about whether your good father is worth risking your life to save?"
He remembered what Wan'er had told him.
Yun Zheng and Princess Huai had a deep mother-son relationship, so he should have been unaware of the fact that Prince Huai had killed his wife.
Therefore, in the current situation, the only way is to attack the heart.
When Yun Zheng heard Jun Jiuchen's words, his expression did not change at all.
"Jun Jiuchen, stop being so mysterious and just say what you want to say!"
Jun Jiuchen patted Xing Tianming on the shoulder, motioning him to step back, then walked up to Yun Zheng and stopped not far away.
"Yun Zheng, when Princess Huai suddenly died of illness, didn't you... ever suspect the cause of her death?"
Yun Zheng was a little confused about what Jun Jiuchen was up to.
The cause of my mother's death...
Of course he knew it.
But this matter concerns his mother's last dignity, how can he mention it to others?
Could it be that Jun Jiuchen found out the cause of his mother's death and wanted to threaten him with his mother's lifelong reputation?
Thinking of this, Yun Zheng became furious.
"Jun Jiuchen, you threaten me with something like this, don't you think you are too despicable!"
Hearing words like threat and despicable, Jun Jiuchen's heart moved.
Judging from Yun Zheng's expression, he seemed to know something about the inside story.
but……
Yet he used such words and didn't mind at all.
I'm afraid...
The inside story he knew was different from what he knew...
Thinking of this, Jun Jiuchen simply spoke directly.
"No matter how despicable it is, can it be as despicable as your father who killed his first wife with his own hands for the throne?"
"Come to think of it, you and your son are truly of the same lineage in this regard..."
Yun Zheng was stunned when he heard this.
Killing wife?
What murdered his wife...
Didn't my mother... die from being raped by the late emperor?
At this time, King Huai, who had originally seen a glimmer of hope for life because of Yun Zheng's arrival, suddenly changed his expression and hurriedly spoke loudly to Yun Zheng.
"Zheng'er, don't waste time talking to him. He's just stalling for time!"
"Now we must ask them to let us out of the palace!"
At this point, he naturally would not expect to turn the situation around by relying on Xing Zixian and Fang Yuan alone.
but……
As long as they can return alive today, he will have a chance to make a comeback...
At worst, he and his son could flee to Mobei and seek refuge with Helian Qi. As long as they could offer enough bargaining chips, it would not be impossible for them to use the power of the Mobei people to re-enter Shangjing in the future.
Jun Jiuchen couldn't help but sneer when he saw King Huai was so anxious.
"Why is King Huai so anxious? Is he feeling guilty?"
Jun Jiuchen said this, his eyes as sharp as a blade, staring straight at Yun Zheng.
"Prince Yun, do you know the cause of the fire in my mother's palace?"
"It was because she discovered your good father's affair with Queen Wei!"
"As for the evil princess, he used her to eliminate the late emperor in order to show his loyalty to Queen Wei, and he even killed her with his own hands right in front of Queen Wei..."
"These are all said by Queen Wei herself."
"If you don't believe it, why not ask him yourself!"
