To support exiled officials, start by worshipping the God of Wealth

Xu Qihuai stepped back.

The generals immediately stood in front to protect the emperor.

Xu Zhangshou laughed heartily. "Nephew, are you so cowardly? This is the Sword of Questioning the King! I want to ask the new Emperor of Xu, are you safe and secure sitting on the throne?"

He was holding the Wenjun Sword.

Pressing harder and harder.

The generals didn't dare to move. They knew that Wenjun Jian could question the emperor at any time. Xu Qihuai put his hand on the generals' shoulders and motioned them to move aside.

Xu Qihuai walked forward, facing the long sword, "Of course I feel at ease. I am your legitimate son, virtuous and talented. How can I not feel at ease?"

Xu Zhangshou gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and asked angrily, "Your grandfather said..."

"Uncle Emperor." Xu Qihuai interrupted him, lightly touching the Wenjun Sword with his fingers, and chuckled, "You believe what Grandfather Emperor painted for you? Besides, words are not enough. Does Uncle Emperor have any witnesses?"

Where does Xu Zhangshou have any witnesses?

He anxiously pulled Xu Qihuai's arm and faced the ancestors in the Fengxian Hall.

"What the king said is true."

Xu Qihuai said, "Uncle, you can ask Grandfather and Father in person. There are also old ministers here. It was indeed Father who succeeded to the throne. And now, Father has also issued an oral order in front of all the ministers that I am the true emperor."

Behind him, the old ministers all nodded.

"Yes, Prince Shou, please let go of your obsession! Both the late emperor and the new emperor are legitimate."

"The imperial edict of the previous emperor is indeed written by the royal family. As for the new emperor, we also heard his oral instructions."

"..."

Xu Zhangshou's eyes were wandering. The belief that had supported him for so many years collapsed. He had been relying on his father's words to survive until now.

He fell to his knees.

Kowtow in grief.

"Father! You have deceived me so much! You wanted me to become emperor, was it just a thought? Why didn't you leave me an imperial edict or oral instructions?"

The cigarette on the table was floating.

No one could sympathize with him.

After a while, Xu Qihuai stood sideways and said calmly, "Now that the knot in the emperor's heart has been resolved, let's go back to Yanzhou."

Xu Zhangshou was stunned. Go back? Could he go back? His figure was swaying, and his vision was blurry.

He blinked hard.

But he saw wounds slowly appearing on his hands and blood gushing out.

"No, no, I still want to be the emperor. I can't die."

Xu Tianyan anxiously supported him, "Father, are you okay? Should we continue with our plan?"

"go!"

Xu Zhangshou gritted his teeth, endured the discomfort in his body, and gave orders to his two sons.

Suddenly, without any preparation, they escaped from Fengtian Hall.

Jiang Jing said: "It seems that there will be another fierce battle."

Xu Qihuai already knew what was going on. He shouted to the three people running towards the palace gate, "Uncle, wasn't it a punishment from our ancestors that you felt uncomfortable in Fengxian Hall just now?"

"Nephew, when I ascend the throne, I will go to the ancestral tablets to apologize for my crimes." Xu Zhangshou hid in a safe place.

Release the flare immediately.

I heard a sound coming from not far away.

He finally felt relieved and sat on the ground, smiling happily.

In the past half month, Xu Zhangshou instigated many ministers to rebel. His nephew was still too young, but the palace seemed to have been prepared early on.

Archers stood everywhere, shooting arrows at once.

Outside Shengjing City.

A horse galloped towards the palace.

Lingxian's vision kept blurring. Holding the indenture contract in her hand, she felt heartbroken. They had all lied to her, they had all lied to her. This was not a list of items at all.

It's her indenture!

"Where's the prince?"

The guard said fiercely, "Prince? Humph, Prince Shou has rebelled."

Lingxian asked anxiously: "Did it succeed?"

The guard looked her up and down and sneered, "Failure is self-destruction! Who are you to hope that the traitor will win?!"

"I am the prince's man, I want to see the prince." The guard waved his hand.

In front of Fengxian Hall.

Xu Zhangshou collapsed outside the hall, and behind him, Xu Tianyan and Xu Linxia were pressed to the ground, crying bitterly.

"Father..."

"Brother Wang, will we die?"

"Yes." Xu Tianyan closed his eyes, tears falling to the ground. As if trying to convince himself, he said with certainty, "He will die."

"Sir!"

There were shouts outside.

The guard stepped forward and reported: "Your Majesty, this woman insists on seeing the eldest prince."

Xu Qihuai waved his hand and the guards let go of Lingxian.

Lingzhi scolded, "You are so stupid! Why did you come back after you arrived in Yanzhou?"

Lingxian cried out in grievance: "I would rather die with you. I don't need you to exchange my body contract for mine."

She smashed the indenture contract on Lingzhi's face.

"Fool." Lingzhi sneered, "This is given to you by the eldest prince."

Lingxian stood there in a daze. She ran to Xu Tianyan, holding up the now-dirty indenture, knelt down, and asked, "Why? Do you really want me to leave you?"

Xu Tianyan closed his eyes and the corners of his mouth trembled.

They just remained in a stalemate.

Seeing this, Jiusu looked down at the blood on her skirt and said nonchalantly, "Maybe they let you go because they couldn't bear to see you die?"

Lingxian murmured, "Really?"

Even when a person is about to die, his words are good.

Maybe everyone can no longer hold back the secrets in their hearts.

"He pretends not to care about you, but he actually likes you very much." Lingzhi straightened up. "The eldest prince has only had you as his woman. That night, the eldest prince and I devised a plan to get you to leave Yanzhou and rebel. I don't know if it will succeed or not. If it fails, you still have a chance to survive. If it succeeds..."

If it’s done, then let’s keep it as it was.

She shifted and looked at her sister.

"Are you stupid? You came back specially."

Lingxian held the man's face, praying that he would say a word.

The scattered bodies have been cleared away.

Xu Qihuai looked at Xu Zhangshou's corpse and said, "Pass on my order. Prince Shou's lineage rebelled, but considering that he committed suicide and confessed his guilt, his body will be transported back to Yanzhou and a large tomb will be built. All the deceased can be buried there."

Clang.

He threw down a sword and left.

All the guards had withdrawn, leaving only four people in front of the hall.

Xu Linxia asked excitedly: "Brother Wang, can we survive? The emperor has forgiven us. Let's go back to Yanzhou!"

He got up and ran out of the hall.

Whoosh!

The sharp arrow pierced the throat.

The joy of surviving the disaster was still on his face.

The next second, a powerful voice came from nowhere: "The thief actually tried to escape from his crime! Shoot him with arrows! Throw him into a mass grave!"

"Ah."

Xu Tianyan shed two lines of tears. He looked at the sword on the ground and finally confirmed the emperor's intention. The emperor would never let them go back alive.

Escape means death.

Death means entering the tomb.

Lingzhi pulled out her hairpin and thrust it directly into her chest. Seeing her sister rushing towards her, she smiled miserably and said, "You have a body contract and you don't know anything about rebellion. Give it a try. You can get out alive."

The woman closed her eyes and fell to the ground.

"Sister! Sister!" Lingxian hasn't recovered yet.

Behind him, Xu Tianyan picked up the sword: "Father, second brother, I'm here to find you."

"Prince!" Lingxian gripped the sword tightly, staring at him tensely. "No, please don't leave me."

Xu Tianyan watched her hand begin to bleed and pried it open with force, "Alive."

He threw down two words and stabbed into the abdomen.
