Chapter 61: Upheaval
Lin Suqing shouted angrily, which scared the palace maids so much that they shook their whole body. The crying stopped abruptly and she didn't dare to cry anymore. She let go of her hand, did not dare to cry anymore, nor did she dare to knock on her again.
Seeing that she finally calmed down, Lin Suqing said, "Even if you don't come to ask me for this matter, I have to go there."
After all, he was also a party involved in the incident involving King Ying. How could he not go?
What's more, even if the emperor does not summon him, when he knows that there is something, he must take the initiative to explain it clearly!
This disaster in the harem is not a minor crime. This is a cuckold for the emperor. The concubine who plays with her own father is a cuckold for her own father!
If he didn't explain clearly, he would probably be his death day every year.
Since Feng Tingzhi last time, Lin Suqing has already understood that the emperor's ears are very soft, almost anything others say, as long as they endanger the old emperor himself, the old emperor will believe.
King Ying is particularly good at killing the heart. If he goes too late, the concubine might not be able to stand the slander and hit her to death. At that time, he may have no place to confront her if she is right.
No, it's not appropriate, he has to go to the palace to explain clearly.
"Prepare the horse!"
It is definitely too late to sit in the sedan chair. After Lin Suqing ordered, he said to King Ping and Liang Wenfu and others, "Be fully prepared. If I don't return after I have been away for a long time, you should immediately think about countermeasures and save me."
King Ping hurried forward: "Brother, I'll go with you."
"What are you going to do?" Lin Suqing asked while walking back and forth.
"Brother, you are going to the palace and you can't take the guards. But King Ying is fierce, and I really don't worry about you dealing with it alone. With me by your side, you can take care of everything."
Wang Ping said this very well. Lin Suqing thought about it again. Whether it was a martial arts or a paper, it was better for two people to deal with it alone than for him to deal with it alone.
Then he nodded and agreed: "Okay!"
So the two hurried out of the gate of the East Palace and went straight to the north gate.
When King Ping turned his head and found that Lin Suqing was still far away, he turned around and asked at him: "Brother, why are you so slow? Are you sick from snow?"
"Ah? No, no. I fell once and felt scared. After all, I was bitten by a snake for three years and was afraid of the ropes." Lin Suqing was afraid that King Ping would see that he was not good at riding a horse, and he did not dare to ride a fast horse.
"Can you be afraid of this? Didn't you fall a few times during the war before?" King Ping had to slow down his speed and travel with Lin Suqing.
"I've been timid lately and I'm more timid in my life." Lin Suqing really couldn't find a reason.
At this time, King Ping gave a discount and said, "Brother, sit firmly, I will lead you to the snow!"
After speaking, he slapped the snow horse on the butt. The snow horse immediately raised his hooves and ran wildly. Lin Suqing's heart jumped into his throat, but saw King Ping quickly catching up with him and running side by side with the snow. Because running on the snow was much faster than ordinary horses, as long as he saw that the snow was about to surpass him, King Ping would use the head of the mount to block it, so that it had to slow down.
That's it. They left the North Gate and then rode their horses around the imperial city toward the Changji Gate.
Ping Wang specially led the snow, and he quickly realized that he wanted to run with Ping Wang's horses, and then he no longer needed to go to his feet.
In a blink of an eye, they rushed to Changji Gate south of the imperial city. Lin Suqing showed off his token from afar. When he drove his horse to approach, he rushed to the leader of the soldiers guarding the gate and said, "Your Majesty is urgently summoned into the palace!"
Hearing the sound, the soldiers hurriedly opened the city gate and let them pass.
The two of them ran all the way again, but as soon as they entered the city gate, they were shocked by what they saw in front of them.
The two were stunned, and the horse was also frightened, neighing at the neck, stopped and went forward.
In front of me, there were corpses everywhere, blood flowing in channels. At first glance, it seemed like an empty city.
King Ying was holding a long spear in his hand, riding on a horse and waiting in the middle of the road. His black armor was already mottled, and the sweat and blood on his face were blended with him, so he could not tell his expression.
He was waiting there, his eyes were like a lone wolf hunting, and he looked at Lin Suqing coldly with a solemn aura.
"Ade..." Lin Suqing and Ping Wang were frozen in place.
Behind Ade, countless military guards suddenly ran out from all over the place. The military guards were covered with black armor, and the armor was covered with large blood.
They quickly gathered behind King Ying, well-trained and orderly, and were completely ready to prepare for the situation.
"Brother, go quickly!"
King Ping exclaimed, then pulled out the bow and arrow hanging on the saddle, aimed at King Ying, and was about to shoot.
Seeing this, Lin Suqing held him down: "What are you doing?!"
"Brother! King Ying has rebelled!!"
King Ping didn't bother to tell Lin Suqing much. It was still about to shoot, but Lin Suqing was blocked.
King Ping looked at him with wide eyes and puzzled, and said angrily: "Do you want me to sit and wait for death?"
Lin Suqing didn't know why he organized King Ping. He saw that King Ying had rebelled, but he subconsciously felt that he could not kill him.
Perhaps it is because of family affection and brothers should not be killed? Perhaps it is because of the morality and rules in his bones that they cannot kill people at will? In short, he didn't know why he stopped King Ping for a while.
It is done subconsciously.
At the same time, he also refused in his heart, and he could not believe that King Ying would really kill them.
Brothers! But everything in front of you clearly shows that King Ying has put the rebellion in practice, and the emperor...whether the emperor is still alive...
"Brother! Don't stop me!" King Ping shook Lin Suqing's hand away, and put on an arrow, but after aiming, he was about to shoot out, and a flying arrow shot, knocking down the arrow in his hand.
Immediately, the IQ of the city tower ambushed countless bows and arrows, all aiming at him and the other two.
Lin Suqing came to his senses and looked around. He had no choice but to escape at this time.
"Ade, if you kill your brother and father, even if you ascend the throne, do you know what kind of infamy you will bear?"
When he asked this question, his mind buzzed and suddenly understood something - King Ying's situation seemed to be completely prepared, so was the palace maid who came to him crying and seek help from him sincerely just to deceive him into entering the palace?
In other words, there is no false accusation at all. The palace maid was actually arranged by King Ying?
Lin Suqing couldn't believe that King Ying would take such an inhumane step. Is power really that important in the throne?
King Ying was unmoved. Compared to the brothers who were buried alive, what was the point of being criticized? Anyway... he couldn't live long. He would only curse for more than twenty years.
King Ying raised his hand, and the deputy general beside him handed him a pair of arrows, and he took them indifferently and held them in his hand.
Seeing this, King Ping immediately stopped his horse and turned around, shouting at Lin Suqing: "Brother, go quickly!"
Seeing this, Lin Suqing also quickly turned his horse's head. Seeing that King Ying had already arched the arrow and aimed at Lin Suqing. When King Ping saw that Lin Suqing was unable to drive the horse, he hurriedly used a crossbow to whip the snow: "Step on the snow! Run!"
He ran wildly with pain while stepping on the snow. At this moment, Lin Suqing suddenly heard King Ying shouting: "Brother!"
Unprepared, Lin Suqing subconsciously was about to turn around, but suddenly felt a pain in his heart. He looked down and saw an arrow pierced from his vest into his chest...
He was stunned for a moment, feeling his body falling off the horse uncontrollably, and feeling unwilling to accept it - I... died like this?
When he fell off the horse's back, he looked back. The crossbow that King Ying held had not yet put down. It seemed that there was a different emotion in his eyes, such as apologies, guilt, reluctance, and helplessness. He seemed to be very worried.
King Ying frowned and stared at Lin Suqing who fell off the horse and fell to the ground, without saying a word. He just had deep eyebrows and eyes, and his expression was firm and complicated.
He hid many complex emotions and emotions strictly in the solemn state and was not noticed by anyone.
It will not be seen by anyone, nor will it be known by anyone - in his heart, the guilt, the panic, the sadness, and the forced...
The original anger and hatred were all collapsed in that moment when the prince fell off the horse and looked back.
No more hatred, no more angry.
From now on, no one will hear it, let alone know it. After he just said "Brother", the corner of his lips was touched, but he could only say it gently in his heart - "I'm sorry."
He did not hesitate to bear the eternal infamy from then on, but also wanted to put his biological father under house arrest to threaten important civil and military officials; he did not hesitate to lead his troops to slaughter the Changji Sect at night, and even shot his brothers with his own hands...
Is it really just for the position of Prince of the East Palace?
Is it really just to inherit the throne that unifies the country?
No, of course he didn't do it for this.
If he had to fight, he would have fought back then.
Since he was young, he has been in charge of battles of all sizes and big. In the gun forest, he has long been used to life and death, and has long missed human life.
However, what he is killing now is his own brother, so how can he kill the enemy as a battlefield?
But if he does not do this, he will die, and the brothers who will die as they come from birth to death will die.
This is also a war, or a war without gunpowder but must be distinguished from victory or defeat. He had to make such a decision, and he had to win this battle.
However, these contradictions and entanglements in his heart cannot be told to anyone. The difficulties and pains in his heart cannot be told to anyone.
When I was the King of Ying, I could not explain it in detail, and I cannot mention it in the future.
No one will ever know, except himself.
He looked at the prince who fell to the ground and looked at the shock, shock, disappointment and despair left behind in the prince's expression...
He said silently in his heart, Brother, no matter whether you hate me or hate me at this time, I don’t ask you to forgive me, because I have to do this, and I don’t regret doing this.
Only in this way is the real end.
...
Prince, dead.
Lin Suqing suddenly felt her body fluttering, and her heart was not as painful as before. He floated up and left the prince's body.
He looked at the prince who was lying on the ground, his eyes dying with his eyes closed. He turned his face away and couldn't bear to look at it more.
In the end, he failed to save the position of the prince's Eastern Palace, and even failed so much that he could not even save his life.
In the final analysis, the reason why the prince died was due to his misjudgment and impulse.
But tracing the root cause is actually because of his kindness.
If he had listened to the advice of Liang Wenfu and the others and killed King Ying for the Zhen Prince, then the prince would not have ended like this.
It was his mistake.
