After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom
Chapter 472 Face is important, but not more important than life!
Finished!
The barbarian army suffered heavy losses this time and will not let him go easily!
"Duke Zhenguo, this matter is just your speculation. I am a prince, how can I allow you to slander me at will?!"
Until the last step, Lu Lingye still didn't want to accept his fate.
Anyway, as long as the barbarians don't take out that kind of thing, what can the Duke of Zhenguo do to him without any evidence?
"Evidence? Of course there is."
Bai Youyou raised the silk in her hand with an evil smile, "Are you familiar with it?"
That is?
Lu Lingye's pupils suddenly shrank and he unconsciously took a step back.
How did this thing end up in her hands?!
Knowing that the situation was hopeless, he took a step and tried to escape.
"Prince Rui, you have committed treason, where do you want to go?" The Duke of Zhenguo waved his hand, and the soldiers surrounded him.
This is a military camp. Without the tiger talisman, you will not obey orders. Even if you are a prince, you have no right to give orders.
Lu Lingye pursed his lips tightly.
He didn't expect things to turn out like this.
Lu Zhen strode over with a bloody spear in hand. He looked at the embarrassed Lu Lingye and snorted coldly, "Dad, all the barbarians have been killed!"
He was accompanied by Xiao Xiang and others.
Lu Da deliberately made them hide in the dark and listen to everything. At this moment, they felt extremely complicated.
"Grandfather, the person has been captured!"
The eldest son of the Lu family came over with the Tuoba envoy and threw him to the ground.
"Duke Zhenguo, I am here on the orders of my king to seek peace."
The Tuoba envoy's face was filled with fear. He said in a trembling voice, "We can discuss the treaty. Please report to the Emperor of the Great Zhou."
Lu Xuan sneered, "The 200,000-strong barbarian army has been completely destroyed. Now the barbarian army is seriously injured. How can you be qualified to ask for peace?"
"Things are different now. You barbarians have no right to seek peace. You can only bow down and submit!"
Bai Youyou unfolded the silk in her hand and placed it in front of her. "This is the contract signed between the barbarian envoy and Prince Rui. Please take a look."
Everyone's eyes fell on the silk cloth, and after reading the contents, everyone was furious.
"Prince Rui, you are confused!!"
Xiao Xiang walked up to him and looked at him with great sorrow, "Even if you are not the emperor, you are the prince of the Great Zhou. How dare you do such a thing as collaborating with the enemy and betraying your country?"
How many people suffered when Yueguan City was broken?
He really couldn't believe that this was done by the Third Prince whom he had once favored. How could the once gentle and clear-minded Third Prince become so greedy and obsessed with money?
"You are a traitor to the country and a criminal of the Great Zhou. You are not worthy of being a king!"
"Yes, it's treason. Fortunately, the Duke of Zhenguo was wise and laid a trap in advance, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!"
With the evidence before him, Lu Lingye knew he couldn't refute it, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
Suddenly, he rushed towards a soldier beside him, snatched the sword from the other's waist, and held Xiao Xiang, who was closest to him, hostage.
Everyone was shocked and began to be cautious.
"Let me go, or I will kill him now!" Lu Lingye shouted.
The Duke of Zhenguo frowned and said in a deep voice: "You can't escape, put down your weapon."
Bai Youyou glared at him coldly: "Do you think you can survive by kidnapping Xiao Xiang? You will not be able to escape the crime of treason today no matter what!"
Lu Lingye roared: "Then I'll also drag someone down with me!"
"You are holding Prime Minister Xiao hostage to threaten me?" The Duke of Zhenguo brushed his sleeves and said indifferently, "He is not someone I care about."
Xiao Xiang: "......"
He has a mother card in his heart, but he doesn't know whether he should talk about it or not.
Even if he is not someone you care about, he is still a high-ranking official in the court! How come in his eyes, your life is worthless and not even worth being blackmailed?
"Prime Minister Xiao is a high-ranking official in the imperial court. If anything goes wrong, you will be blamed!"
When Lu Lingye heard the Duke of Zhenguo's words, his face turned pale and blue.
He originally thought that Xiao Xiang was a powerful figure and could always be his life-saving talisman, but he didn't expect that the Duke of Zhenguo didn't care at all.
Xiao Xiang really wanted to nod and agree with him, but the coldness on his neck made him dare not move.
He was extremely regretful at this moment. If he had known that Prince Rui would do this, he would not have put on a show in front of others.
Face is important, but not more important than life!
"You are the one who killed the man. What does it have to do with me?" The Duke of Zhenguo glanced at him with contempt. "If you want to kill him, just kill him. If you don't do it now, I will do it!"
"Duke of the State..."
Prime Minister Xiao had tears in his eyes and was trembling.
He is also a citizen of the Great Zhou, how could they abandon him so easily? !
Lu Lingye's eyes flickered over the faces of the people around him, but just when he was distracted, Lu Xuan seized the opportunity and threw a stone, hitting Lu Lingye's wrist.
"hiss!"
He cried out in pain and the sword in his hand fell.
Lu Zhen and others took the opportunity to step forward and capture him.
Xiao Xiang let out a long sigh, quickly stepped aside, and straightened his clothes with lingering fear.
The Duke of Zhenguo looked at the captured Lu Lingye with disgust in his eyes, "Tie him up and take him back to Kyoto tomorrow to be dealt with by the Emperor!"
Lu Zhen agreed and dragged Lu Lingye away.
Xiao Xiang stepped forward, bowed to the Duke of Zhenguo and said, "Thanks to the Duke's clever planning, we were able to wipe out the barbarians and expose the traitors in one fell swoop."
Duke Zhenguo stroked his beard and looked at Bai Youyou with a proud look on his face, "It was my granddaughter who saw the opportunity first, and she played a great role in this matter."
Then the Duke of Zhenguo turned to face the soldiers and said loudly: "In this battle, our men of the Great Zhou were brave and fearless, and they defeated the barbarians. This is indeed a great achievement. When I report this to the court, the emperor will surely reward me handsomely!"
The soldiers cheered.
The news of the victory on the border and the news of Prince Rui's collusion with foreign enemies were quickly transmitted to the capital over a distance of 800 miles.
The queen was so frightened that she fainted.
"My queen?!!"
"Young lady!!"
The nanny pinched her philtrum and the queen woke up again.
"Mammy, did I just have a nightmare?"
Mammy avoided her gaze with red eyes, "It is true, Madam, please cheer up quickly. The most important thing right now is to think of a way to save the Third Prince's life."
"What else can I do?"
The queen felt as if the sky was falling and everything in front of her eyes was getting dark.
How did it constitute collusion with foreign enemies?
How come it was discovered?
Collaborating with foreign enemies will lead to death!!!
She had difficulty breathing, covered her chest, and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
"Mother!!!"
Upon seeing this, the nanny exclaimed in surprise.
"Go and call the imperial physician!"
She yelled at the eunuch at the door and helped the man to the couch herself, but after waiting for half an hour, the imperial physician did not come.
The young eunuch ran in breathlessly, "Mammy, the doctors from the Imperial Hospital have all gone to the Imperial Study."
"But the emperor is critically ill?" the nanny asked anxiously.
"I don't know."
Mammy's eyes rolled and suddenly an idea came to her mind that made her tremble.
If all the princes died, would the emperor still execute the third prince?
