Chapter 118: Murder and heartbreaking, adding fuel to the fire

Author: Bai Xiaoyuan

Zhao Dong knew that at this moment, the emperor was angry.

If the confrontation with the dead person who pretends to be a corpse continues like this, there may be no chance of change.

He simply rolled his eyes and lay motionless on the ground, pretending to "faint" and die, hoping to avoid the sharp edge of this fierce ghost.

However, how could "Yuzhu" give him this opportunity?

The dagger he had inserted into Yuzhu's heart just now was still in Yuzhu's hand.

"Since you don't want to plead guilty, I will simply seek justice for myself and King An and send you back to the west."

Yuzhu said, directly holding the dagger in his hand with both hands, pointed it at Zhao Dong's heart, and stabbed down hard!

The moment the sword tip was about to touch Zhao Dong's heart——

Feeling the crisis, Zhao Dong subconsciously opened his eyes, not daring to pretend to be dizzy anymore, and raised his hand to grab Yuzhu's hand.

The cold and sticky feeling of the corpse in his palms made Zhao Dong shiver.

The instinct to survive overcame the fear in his heart of the evil ghost in front of him, causing Zhao Dong to panic, grab the dagger from Yuzhu's hand, and push him away.

No matter how bad Zhao Dong is, he still has some kung fu skills, while Yuzhu is just a corpse after all.

Being pushed by him, Yuzhu staggered back and fell to the ground.

In this moment of grabbing and pushing, Zhao Dong felt that the corpse in front of him was not as powerful and indestructible as he imagined.

He was so evil that he stabbed the throat of Yuzhu's body with a fierce backhand sword!

The corpse's throat made a "ho ho" sound, like a dying cry.

Zhao Dong was surprised that he succeeded with one blow, and raised his voice: "You evil ghost, you talk nonsense, and you dare to kill people in front of the emperor, you are seeking death!"

He swung the dagger in his hand hard and cut off Yuzhu's head.

The corpse twitched a few times, then became silent and calm.

Even though the body looked dead, Zhao Dong did not dare to take it lightly and kept stabbing at the body.

One strike, another strike, and another strike, each sword struck a vital part.

He must make it impossible for this body to testify against him.

At this moment, Zhao Dong's face, illuminated by candlelight, was distorted and ferocious.

It was completely different from his usual image in front of others.

He is completely different from the trembling Wei Guogong just now.

It was the first time for the emperor and the eldest princess to see Zhao Dong like this, and their eyes were filled with shock.

They never expected that Zhao Dong, who was incapable of writing or martial arts after urinating, and who only knew how to indulge in beauty, would actually have such a cruel and murderous side.

If it were just now, the emperor still had some doubts in his heart. He felt that Zhao Dong's temperament did not seem to be capable of instructing people to kill people, cut their bodies apart, and store their bodies in an ice cellar.

By this moment, he no longer had any doubts in his mind.

"Duke Wei, Yuzhu is dead, and you still won't let him go." The shadow on the white cloth screen swayed a few times, and the young man's voice sounded faintly: "You thought you killed him, but what you did is...

Is there no one who can testify?”

"There is also this king." The young man's voice is no longer as weak as before, and has become resolute and firm, "Even if my body is rotten, there is still this ghost of the dead who can challenge you in court. I will not allow you to go unpunished.

Do you want to kill me too?"

At this moment, Zhao Dong was already red-eyed and had only one thought in his mind. If he killed the corpse and the ghost, he would be able to say that they were false. In this way, all the accusations would be untenable and he would be safe and sound.

"It's just a lonely ghost pretending to be His Royal Highness Prince An, so why not kill you?"

As he spoke, he clenched the dagger in his hand and walked towards Bai Bu seriously.

"That's enough!" the emperor shouted in a deep voice, "Come here, take down this traitor and traitor who dares to deceive the emperor, assassinate the prince, and is a murderous traitor!"

As soon as the words fell, guards rushed up from the stairs.

The emperor's deep shout made the comatose Princess Zhao wake up. She saw Zhao Dong holding a dagger in his hand, and her eyes widened immediately.

"Dong'er! What are you doing!" She stood up in a hurry and wanted to rush forward, but her legs became weak and she fell back down heavily. In desperation, she had to shout, "Why don't you put down the sword! That's

Your Highness Prince An, even if you don’t care about yourself, you must also think about the Zhao clan. Do you want them to be buried with you?"

Concubine Zhao's shout finally made Zhao Dong wake up.

Thinking of what he had just done, Zhao Dong suddenly realized that he had once again fallen into the opponent's trap.

Expose the most unknown side of your heart.

The words "Deceive the emperor and ignore the emperor, assassinate the prince, and have a murderous nature" already indicate that the emperor has believed the words of the corpse and soul in his heart.

This is a serious crime of confiscating a family and exterminating a clan!

Once the emperor finds you guilty, he can convict you even if there is no evidence!

Even if you kill the corpse and the ghost, it will be useless.

Zhao Dong suddenly panicked and threw away the dagger in his hand with a bang.

His death was not a pity, but the Zhao family could not fall. He wanted to fight for a chance of survival for the Zhao family.

"I deserve to die!"

Zhao Dong knelt down on the ground, turned to beg for mercy, and said in a trembling voice: "I was deceived by others, and was confused for a moment, so I committed such a big mistake. All the things were done by me alone and have nothing to do with the Zhao family. Please forgive me."

For the sake of the late Queen Mother Duan Hui, the emperor spared the Zhao clan."

The emperor walked up to him and looked at him condescendingly, his eyes were scarlet and filled with hatred.

"When you decided to harm Jiulang, you should have thought that such a day would come. If I spared the Zhao family today, how could I comfort my son's spirit in heaven with your own life?"

This means that we don’t intend to forgive the Zhao family!

Zhao Dong felt even more panicked.

Although he did not have many children, he still had sons and daughters.

"Your Majesty, the Zhao family is also your maternal family. The Zhao family are all your blood relatives. Please have mercy on them and let them live..."

Seeing this, the eldest princess on the side spoke in a cool tone: "If the Zhao family really regarded us as blood relatives, how could they do such unscrupulous things? You harm me first, then Jiulang, and the next one will be harmed."

, could it be the imperial brother?"

At this time, for the eldest princess to say such words in front of the emperor is tantamount to killing people and adding fuel to the fire.

The emperor's face turned extremely gloomy due to these words, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Zhao Dong turned to look at her: "Back then, the Zhao and Liang families were evenly matched in the court. The eldest princess was obsessed with that boy Liang Qing and insisted on marrying him. To break the balance, my father had no choice but to ruin your marriage. These things

In the year you played the harp and harp with Cui Jin, and Cui Jin was obedient to you, how can this be considered harming you?"

The eldest princess seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, "Has Duke Wei forgotten that I almost died at the hands of your assassins a few days ago?"

"That's because you wanted to avenge Yuzhu, who looks like Liang Qing, so I had no choice but to do it!"

Zhao Dong said bitterly: "Yuzhu is a member of the Liang family. He should have been executed for treason more than ten years ago. If I kill him, I will also kill the remnants of the traitor for the imperial court! Yuzhu deserves to die, he belongs to the Liang family.

Everyone deserves to die!"

Hearing him mention the Liang family with such gritted teeth, the eldest princess looked even colder, "What about Prince An? He regards you as his eldest son, why did you want to kill him?"

Now that the matter has come to this, Zhao Dong has nothing to hide. "After the fall of the Liang family, everyone said that the Liang family was harmed by the Zhao family. Prince An is the daughter of Concubine Lian. If he ascends to Dabao in the future, how can our Zhao family survive?"

What's wrong with exchanging the life of King An in exchange for the emperor's eternal succession?"

He said, to prove his statement, he pointed to the talismans around him, "Your Majesty, look, behind these talismans, there is a large formation, which is the famous requiem formation of the Yun Kingdom. This formation is what I learned from back then.

Obtained from the hands of the former prince of the Yun Kingdom. Only by sacrificing the descendants of the royal family like Emperor Ru of the Yun State can the curse set by Emperor Ru of that time be broken."

Zhao Dong pointed to the soul of King An on the white cloth again, "Look, two years after King An's death, his soul is still trapped in this formation, which proves that this soul requiem formation is really useful."

"From now on, you don't have to worry about Emperor Wu's curse anymore."

"Your Majesty, even though I have selfish motives for doing all this, I am also scheming for the Emperor. My loyalty to you can be seen day by day. All the glory of our Zhao family comes from the trust of the Emperor. The Zhao family can be regarded as

The person who is most loyal to the emperor in this world.

Therefore, I will never harm the emperor as the eldest princess said. On the contrary, this requiem array is laid out by the emperor for thousands of miles and thousands of generations. When you look at the array, you will see that this is the soul of King An who is willing to sacrifice his life.

In this formation, I have never forced him to die!"

Thousands of miles of country, thousands of generations...

It was King An who was willing to sacrifice his body...

There was never a word of coercion...

Hearing these three sentences, the emperor felt a sudden pain in his heart.
