The substitute prince: Reported the emperor's brother at the beginning

Ning Yi smiled slightly, feeling secretly happy.

Rights really are useful.

As soon as his hand loosened, the Dragon Slaying Sword returned to its scabbard.

Han Changqing let out a long sigh, but his face looked extremely ugly. He felt extremely aggrieved at having made a fool of himself in front of hundreds of imperial guards!

Thinking back to the past, I was so glorious on the battlefield, but now...

Ning Yi said calmly, "What are you waiting for? Why don't you quickly escort this prince into the palace?"

Han Changqing nearly gnashed his teeth and turned to face the hundreds of imperial guards: "Escort His Highness the Sixth Prince into the palace."

At the gate, Ning Yi's six guards were dumbfounded. They thought they would be loyal today, but they didn't expect that there would be a sudden turn of events. Han Changqing, who originally came to arrest people, actually ended up escorting the Sixth Prince.

See you a long time!

Watching hundreds of imperial guards escorting the Sixth Prince into the palace, the grand scene made Qin Haifeng so excited that he burst into swearing!

"Damn it, I never followed the wrong person in my life. The Sixth Prince is so awesome!"

"Is our Sixth Prince planning to turn the tide?"

"There's been a sudden turn of events. Do we not have to die?"

……

Several guards were talking to each other, their eyes full of admiration.

Ning Yi turned around, looked at his guards, and then turned back.

"Your Highness!"

The six guards knelt on one knee in unison.

"Everyone, get up."

Ning Yi helped Qin Haifeng up and patted him on the shoulder: "Take good care of the house. I said nothing will happen, so don't panic."

Seeing the calm expression on Ning Yi's face, Qin Haifeng's blood boiled in his heart. He saluted and said, "I obey your command."

Ning Yi followed the Royal Guards, but in the underground building of the Sixth Prince's Mansion, the real Sixth Prince Wu Lingyun was sitting at the table, tapping the table with his right index finger, with a gloomy look on his face.

"Haha, you bastard, you, the fourth brother, you have been plotting rebellion for a long time, but you exposed me. You want to use the hand of the emperor to get rid of me so that I won't become a stumbling block for you!"

"How could I let you succeed so easily? You never thought that I have a substitute, right?"

"When the storm subsides, I will definitely kill you by surprise and let you know the price of angering me!"

Wu Lingyun has always been sinister and thought that his plan was perfect. He let his substitute die for him, and he secretly commanded the overall situation and would launch a surprise attack when the time came.

……

Wu State Palace.

Ning Yi frowned deeply as soon as he arrived at the hall under the escort of Han Changqing.

The magnificent hall was filled with a cold and murderous atmosphere that made people shudder.

"Your Highness, the Emperor is in the Imperial Study right now. He has learned that Your Highness has been secretly hoarding food, fodder, and troops. He is furious and must have murderous intent. Your Highness, please be careful."

Ning Yi turned his head to look at Han Changqing and smiled in his heart.

Han Changqing's words sounded like concern, but Ning Yi knew that this was also a provocation.

The old emperor was determined to kill him. In Han Changqing's opinion, he was doomed to die anyway. If he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, he would draw his Dragon Slaying Sword and perish together with the old emperor...

The rebellion that the Fourth Prince had been planning for a long time would be much more effective. At that time, he would only need to hold the Crown Prince hostage to control the princes, and the Wu Kingdom would become the Fourth Prince's world, which would save him a lot of trouble.

Thinking of this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Han Changqing's eyes, and he secretly thought in his heart that when the time comes, he will definitely shoot Wu Lingyun twice more to avenge the two slaps he received!

Ning Yi said nothing, walked through the corridor, and followed Han Changqing to the imperial study.

"Your Highness the Sixth Prince...comes to the audience..."

When the chief eunuch saw Han Changqing coming with the Sixth Prince, who was also carrying a sword, the voice of the eunuch began to tremble.

In the imperial study, Emperor Wu, whose hair had turned gray and who was suffering from numerous illnesses, still had a dignified look on his face, and the imperial aura he exuded remained undiminished.

Hearing this, he frowned and looked up.

Han Changqing was sent to arrest someone, so why did this rebellious son come to see the emperor?

Humph……

Emperor Wu was furious and snorted coldly: "How dare this rebellious son come to see me!"

With a creak, the door was pushed open by the chief eunuch: "Your Majesty, it is Commander Han who has brought the Sixth Prince here."

Emperor Wu frowned and took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Among his six princes, although the second prince was named the crown prince, the second prince's style of doing things was not suitable for inheriting the throne. He did not have the brains of the fourth prince, nor the strategizing mind of the sixth prince.

Speaking of which, Emperor Wu still valued the Sixth Prince very much, but he did not expect that he would actually intend to station troops for rebellion!

He sighed deeply, "Well, I want to see how this rebellious son will defend himself today! Let him come in and see me."

The chief eunuch took the order and left, and Ning Yi was soon brought in by the chief eunuch.

Snapped……

Seeing Ning Yi, the Emperor slammed his hand on the table: "Rebellious son, do you know your crime?"

Ning Yi was not in a hurry, and even a smile flashed across his face. It seemed that the Emperor Wu was completely unable to recognize that he was not the real Sixth Prince!

With a thud, Ning Yi fell to his knees: "Father, I am innocent!"

"I have heard that someone in Gaomi has accused me of stationing troops for rebellion. This is a serious matter, so I have no choice but to come before you, Father. I have been falsely accused. I have not stationed any troops, much less intended to rebel. Father, please understand!"

After saying this, Ning Yi paused, then knelt a few steps forward and said, "Father, the one who was actually plotting the rebellion was actually my fourth brother! Not me."

After hearing this, Emperor Wu suddenly got a headache.

What's going on?

The fourth brother exposed the sixth brother, and now the sixth brother is exposing the fourth brother?

Snapped……

The Emperor slammed the table in anger, then stood up and shouted, "Rebellious son, do you think you can escape punishment with just one word? You even slandered your brothers and sisters. What crime do you deserve?"

Seeing Emperor Wu’s rage, Ning Yi was actually still a little panicked.

After all, as long as the emperor gave an order, he would be killed. Trying to reason with him when he was angry was like playing the lute to a cow.

Unless he can produce evidence that the Fourth Prince is gathering troops for rebellion, the old emperor will really believe it!

Ning Yi took a deep breath to calm his nervous mood, and slowly said: "Father, everything I said is true."

"Your Majesty, please do not be deceived. Your Majesty, please think about this: has the person who exposed me produced any concrete evidence to prove that I truly intend to rebel?"

hiss……

After hearing this, Emperor Wu was also stunned.

Indeed, when the fourth brother exposed the sixth brother, there was no substantial evidence.

Emperor Wu's face darkened, his eyes were uncertain, and he stared at Ning Yi intently.

"Father, I guarantee with my life that I have evidence that Fourth Brother intends to rebel. Not only that, he has already bribed those close to you..."
