Chapter 943 The Prince's Defeat (3)
After saying that, he strode over and rolled up Helanxue's sleeves, revealing the hideous wounds that had scabbed over, densely packed and covering the entire arm.
"You all saw that it was because of this that she held a grudge and wanted to take revenge on me. If it weren't for the fact that she was a Xianbei princess, I would have rewarded her with a three-foot white silk and let her end her life!"
Nangong Shi pinched Helanxue's wounds tightly, causing those scabbed wounds to burst open again, blood gushing out, and the piercing pain made her want to scream and faint.
But she couldn't.
If she couldn't overthrow the prince today, she would definitely die when she returned, so she couldn't lose her composure or faint, and she had to knock him down before the prince knocked her out.
"Everyone, the attendant who confessed was forced by the prince. The attendant's family was controlled by the prince. If he didn't bite the king of Qin to death as the prince requested, his family would be slaughtered. That's why he falsely accused the king of Qin. Ah----"
A scream and a crisp slap suddenly sounded. Helan Xue's head tilted to one side. She staggered and fell to the ground. Her cheeks swelled up quickly. Before she fainted, she showed a triumphant smile to the prince.
Nangong Shi was so angry that he was mad. He was still not satisfied after knocking Helan Xue unconscious. He raised his foot and wanted to kick her a few times, but was stopped by Nangong Yi.
"Your Highness, the Crown Princess is now a witness, you can't hit her."
The Crown Prince said angrily: "What witness? It's obvious that you two are in collusion to slander me!"
Nangong Yi sneered and said: "Since the Crown Prince is not convinced, then find another witness to prove it."
After saying that, he winked at the guard behind him. Not long after the guard left, Li Guoshi, who was recently appointed by the Emperor, and Zhu Zhong, the eunuch beside the Emperor, walked in with a man in a black cloak. The man's face was covered by the cloak, his head was lowered, and his steps were difficult, like an octogenarian. He walked to the center of the hall, and the man slowly raised his head, took off the cloak hat on his head, revealing a pale face.
"Your Majesty----"
"Your Majesty----"
Everyone was shocked and shouted, their eyes widened, their mouths opened, and they looked like they had seen a ghost. In a daze, no one remembered to salute the Emperor.
"Your son greets you, father. I am late in escorting you. Please forgive me!"
Nangong Yi knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully to Emperor Ming of Jin.
"What's going on? Didn't your father pass away? This, this must be fake, it's a substitute..." Nangong Shi pointed at Emperor Ming of Jin and shouted in panic.
Emperor Jinming held the guard's hand, stared at Nangong Shi with great pain, and cursed: "Rebellious son, beast..."
Just after saying a few words, he couldn't help coughing violently. After coughing for a long time, he said to Zhu Zhong: "You speak!"
Zhu Zhong agreed, but didn't say anything. He just helped the weak Emperor Jinming to sit on the dragon chair, then straightened up, looked around at the ministers, and said loudly: "My lords, the emperor was poisoned by the prince, and his body was damaged. He can't say too much. Let me explain this matter to Dahuo."
In the stunned state of all officials, Zhu Zhong suddenly raised his hand, pointed at the dumbfounded prince, and said: "The prince was afraid that the emperor would take the crown prince. The throne was passed to another prince, so he took advantage of the emperor's illness and put the poison of the heartbreak grass in the emperor's medicine bowl, intending to kill the emperor and ascend to the throne himself. God bless the emperor, a few days ago, he had eaten the hundred poison pills made by Li Guoshi for him, so the poison of the heartbreak grass failed to kill the emperor, but only made him fake his death. Later, while everyone was busy handling the funeral, the old slave and Li Guoshi replaced the emperor with a death row prisoner of the same height as the emperor, and hid the emperor. In the past few days, he has been concentrating on helping the emperor detoxify. Today, the poison in the emperor's body has been controlled, so he naturally has to come out to clean it up and meet the adults. "
