Chapter 129: Brothel Prostitute V Killer Boss 12
Towards evening, news came from the palace that the emperor had passed away.
Si Ke was thinking about whether she should change into mourning clothes and enter the palace. After all, she was now a member of the royal family. However, she was stopped by the people who were arranged by Leng Che to stay in the mansion and told to just wait for news at home.
Si Ke nodded, returned to his room, and started asking Lao Liu to broadcast the live broadcast.
Soon, the scene of the palace appeared in his mind. At this moment, the emperor had been placed in the coffin, and below was a vast expanse of white, filled with concubines and ministers kneeling.
Leng Che's position is right after all the princes. Although he is the Ninth Prince, he has no status at all. If it weren't for his seniority, he would have been thrown into some corner long ago.
However, Leng Che had been ill for many years and was now confined to a wheelchair, and he did not receive any care from these people. He was still pulled out of the wheelchair by the guards and made to kneel in the crowd.
However, this time, Leng Che did not kneel down, but stood up directly. Then, step by step, he walked towards the emperor's coffin.
The guard quickly drew his sword and said coldly, "Ninth Prince, what are you going to do..."
Just as he finished shouting, the two guards fell to the ground. No one even approached them, and they died in such a bizarre way.
Everyone turned around when they heard the sound, staring at the man who was still walking forward with surprise and shock on their faces.
"Uncle, your legs..."
I don’t know which prince exclaimed, bringing everyone back to their senses.
"Uncle, what are you going to do?" Crown Prince Yuwen Xiao stood up suddenly and pointed at Leng Che and shouted.
The concubines and officials who were originally kneeling on the ground all stood up and looked at Leng Che in unison.
The seventh and ninth brothers, whom Leng Che brought into the palace, have stepped forward and are guarding Leng Che on his left and right.
"What? Of course it's to usurp the throne? Why, is it so hard to tell?" The cold and pale face now had a sickly smile, like a devil crawling out of hell, which made people shudder.
When these words were spoken, everyone in the court was shocked!
Then everyone looked around and found that there were only three of them. There was no heavy attack and no sound of weapons smashing. These people felt a little relieved.
Was the Ninth Prince completely mad? Just the three of them, plotting to usurp the throne! If the situation hadn't allowed, they would have burst out laughing. This was truly unprecedented!
The Prime Minister stepped forward, beckoned, and shouted, "Imperial Guards, take down this traitor!"
The next moment, a large number of royal guards rushed in, and before they could even form a formation, they... fell to the ground with a loud bang!
Just like the two guards before, he died quietly and no one knew how he died.
At this moment, everyone's expression changed! Leng Che, on the other hand, calmly found a chair and sat down, watching them continue their performance.
Seeing them not moving and looking at each other in bewilderment, Leng Che still urged them on. "Who's next?"
"Uncle, what have you done to us..."
'Boom', the prince fell to the ground!
Everyone's faces turned pale, the concubines screamed in fear, and the timid ones even fainted. He, he, he even killed the prince!
"Next!"
"Yuwen Che, what are you going to do? His Majesty just died, and you killed the prince. You are shaking the foundation of my Yuwen family. You are also a descendant of the Yuwen family. Are you really going to destroy the century-old foundation of my Yuwen family?" This time, the one who stood up was Leng Che's uncle, who is currently the oldest elder of the Yuwen family.
This time Leng Che did not make a move, but raised his eyebrows and said with a wicked smile: "So what?"
"you you you……"
"Those who obey me will prosper, those who defy me will perish. Either kneel down and submit, or die. Your choice!"
"Traitor, traitor, chaos..."
Boom! Another one fell, Censor Tang!
"Next!"
"Yuwen Che, if you have the guts, kill us all..."
"Dong!" Lord Li, the Minister of Works!
"Next!"
……
"Host, why don't you go into the palace and stop your man from playing Candy Crush? If he keeps playing, all these ministers will die!"
"There are only a few tough guys. Do you think they are not afraid of death? The more power and status a person has, the less he wants to die! Believe it or not, if I try to stop it, more people will die later." Leng Che is trying to establish his authority. If he stops it now, he will have to kill more people to establish his authority!
"He has endured humiliation for so many years. Doesn't he want to be the emperor? What's going on now?" Lao Liu couldn't figure it out.
"Because of the appearance of that man yesterday, the emperor was completely enraged this time, so he didn't want to play anymore. I wanted a legitimate identity, but this identity only brought me humiliation. He wanted me to never be bullied in the future, so he had to burn his boats." She couldn't think of any other reason for Leng Che's sudden change of character.
"Then why does he kill whoever he wants, like he's playing a game?"
"Have you forgotten Du Lao? The old man's medical skills are not very good, but his use of poison is first-class. Otherwise, how could he help Leng Che control the poison for so many years. I'm afraid these people have been poisoned without knowing it." Sike thought that he must have a way to protect himself, but he didn't expect that he would poison everyone.
There was only one way to poison such a large area: by poisoning people in wells! All the wells in the capital were poisoned.
Otherwise, even if everyone in the palace was poisoned, the civil and military officials should not have been poisoned.
And for all this time, Si Ke hadn't discovered the well water was poisonous. This could only mean that either the amount of poison used was minimal, or that Yilan Pavilion's well water had been specially treated. Si Ke was more inclined to believe the latter, after all, Yilan Pavilion was part of Tianyi Pavilion.
This was a massive undertaking, and Si Ke couldn't even begin to imagine it. Poisoning was easy, but doing it for a long time without being discovered was much more difficult.
Si Ke's mind wandered, and just as she imagined, after five people fell in a row, no one dared to speak again! After all, not everyone is full of passion, and most people are afraid of death.
Leng Che's uncle had already fainted from anger. Leng Che said, "Living in such a sickly state is worse than death." And so, the man died!
Now, no one dared to object. No one knew who shouted "Long live the emperor" first, and then everyone knelt down and shouted in unison.
The guards outside saw this scene and naturally did not dare to resist.
They just felt that the Ninth Prince was too evil, and they were afraid that he had already held their lives in his hands. Anyone who dared to get close would die!
Of course, it only takes Leng Che and the other two to control the palace, but controlling it alone is not enough.
There are still troops stationed outside the capital. What these ministers are thinking now is that if they pretend to surrender, as long as the garrison finds out that something is wrong with the imperial city and someone reports it, they will be able to turn defeat into victory and there will still be hope.
However, they waited until the next day... until the emperor's body was buried, but no one came.
Only at this time did they realize that the garrison had long been cold-blooded!
