Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists
Chapter 257: Past Events 4
"Your Majesty's grandson? Then is he the son of Prince Kang or Prince Duan..."
"He is my son Yun Qingjie, and you... are Ah Zhu, the leader of the assassins around my father?"
The dim space was suddenly illuminated by countless torches, and Yun Ruiyuan and others appeared in the underground palace under the protection of a large number of guards.
"Your Majesty, my master offended Prince Cheng because he didn't know his identity, so please don't blame me!"
Seeing Yun Ruiyuan's ugly expression, the middle-aged man next to Azhu knelt down and pleaded for his master, but the other party suddenly let out a terrifying laugh, then patted the middle-aged man's shoulder and advised him.
"Junwu, stop begging. His Majesty's anger isn't because of Prince Cheng's affairs!"
"It's not His Royal Highness Prince Cheng's business? But Master, you have always been loyal to the late emperor. Everything you have done is..."
"Alright, Lord Zheng, stop making excuses for your master. The Emperor had clearly decided to let my father go, but this vicious woman actually threatened my life and forced my mother to poison my father!"
Yun Qingchi glared at Azhu with resentment, but the other party couldn't help but chuckle when he looked at his face.
"You must be Prince Duan's child, right? Your peach blossom eyes really resemble your father's! That little bitch Yunyan was completely bewitched by your father! She even went to the palace to beg His Majesty to spare Prince Duan..."
"My father never had any intention of rebellion. Why did you insist on killing him?"
"Oh, his existence is a threat to King Kang's throne. In order to centralize the imperial power, he must die!"
Ah Zhu pretended to be crazy and yelled at Yun Qingchi, while Zheng Junwu on the side said in disbelief.
"Master, what are you talking about? Didn't His Majesty decide to let His Majesty Prince Duan go?"
"Your Majesty is foolish. If he forgives Prince Duan because of his children's personal feelings, how can he be worthy of the family of Prime Minister Yue who were willing to be executed for his cause?"
"What? You said Brother Yue was beheaded voluntarily?"
Ni Yuecheng looked at Azhu in disbelief.
"Yes, only Prime Minister Yue, who represents the upright, has become a victim in this struggle for the throne. Only then will the officials of the entire court regard the Seven Princes and the noble families behind them as snakes and scorpions. When His Royal Highness Prince Kang wipes them out, naturally no one will stand up to speak for them!"
"So, for your so-called great cause, you killed so many innocent people in Yuelu Academy and the Prime Minister's Mansion? Is power really that important? Can it even make you take advantage of your relatives and friends?"
At this time, Ni Yuecheng was already in tears. She had never expected that the truth of the matter would be so cruel, but Azhu made an ugly and strange laugh again. She looked at him with disdain and sneered.
"Hmph, you're His Majesty's sister, yet you don't understand his good intentions. The once-weak Wenqu Kingdom has become prosperous after the demise of those aristocratic families. If it weren't for the sacrifices of His Majesty and Yue Chengchong, this vast land would have been swallowed up by the Wulie Kingdom long ago!"
"This……"
Ni Yuecheng was speechless after being taught a lesson by the other party, but Yun Shaotian couldn't help but sneer.
"That's enough, stop talking about other things. I want to ask you why you took the initiative to kill your brother, since he spared Ruiqing back then!"
"Only when Prince Duan dies, the imperial power will be stable. Only when he dies, will the Wenqu Kingdom truly prosper!"
Ah Zhu muttered to himself as if in self-hypnosis, and Yun Shaotian, who could no longer bear it, finally shouted.
"That's enough! Stop making excuses for your selfishness. Do you know that it was because of your actions that the Emperor forced his brother to commit suicide by taking poison?"
"No, it's not me. I respect His Majesty so much, how could I possibly kill him..."
"Gao Shun, come here and explain to this loyal leader of the assassination squad what you heard outside the late emperor's gate!"
"Yes!"
A middle-aged eunuch walked up to the crowd and looked at Azhu with an angry face and made an accusation.
"Back then, you told the late emperor that if he didn't let Princess Duan kill Prince Duan, you would personally execute her. Because the mission of a death warrior is to carry out the orders of their master, and if they dare to resist, they can only die as an apology!"
"So the late emperor had no choice but to commit suicide by poison in order to save Princess Duan, because as long as the master was gone, the assassin would be free..."
"...That's enough, stop talking. This is all the fault of that vixen Yunyan. She not only seduced Prince Duan, but even His Majesty..."
"Shut up! You are not allowed to insult my mother, you hateful old witch! I will kill you! I will kill you!"
Yun Qingchi snatched the sword from the hand of the guard beside him, and like a raging storm, he stabbed at Azhu desperately.
The other party stood there quietly without any resistance, but Zheng Junwu actually grasped the sharp sword blade and shouted at Yun Qingchi at the top of his lungs.
"Your Highness Prince Rui, you can't hurt Master! She is Princess Duan's mother, your grandmother!"
"Shut up! Since His Royal Highness Prince Rui wants to take my life, why are you trying to stop him?"
Azhu swung her palm and knocked Zheng Junwu to the ground. Then she gripped the sword tightly, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.
"Your Highness, Prince Rui, I have committed grave sins and deserve death. Please act quickly and give me a quick death!"
"Your Highness, you can't kill her. She is truly your relative!"
"No, I am the culprit who killed your parents. Don't listen to his nonsense. Kill me with a sword!"
"me……"
Yun Qingchi felt his mind go blank, and the hand holding the sword trembled because of this sudden truth.
Bai Yue's voice was like a spring breeze. She gently held his trembling hand and spoke softly.
"Qing Chi, your hands are meant for holding a fan. It's better to put down a weapon like a sword."
"Xiaoyue..."
The other party seemed to have found support. He suddenly threw away the sword in his hand, hugged Bai Yue tightly and burst into tears like a wronged child.
"Aren't you Prince Cheng's beloved? Why are you and Prince Rui behaving so intimately?!"
"Because she is the beloved of the three of us. Apart from her, we will never love another woman in this life!"
Yun Qingchen's confession made the entire underground palace silent, and after being stunned for a while, Ah Zhu yelled like a madman.
"You bastards, do you want to sever His Majesty's bloodline? Yun Ruiyuan, how can you be a father? Your sons are so mischievous, and you don't care about it?"
"I have to take care of the problem too!"
Yun Ruiyuan cursed inwardly, then pretended to be majestic and shouted at Azhu.
"You bold thief! How dare you kill a royal relative? Come, arrest this criminal immediately!"
"No, Your Majesty, Master has given me a new life. Please forgive her sins for my service in protecting the dragon!"
"And she is also His Royal Highness Prince Rui's grandmother. Are you planning to take away His Royal Highness's last relative?"
Zheng Junwu once again stood in front of Azhu and kept begging Yun Ruiyuan for mercy.
"You traitor, who told you to meddle in other people's business?"
"Yun Ruiyuan, since you can't control your son, let me eliminate this scourge for you!"
Azhu suddenly went berserk and attacked Bai Yue.
"Xiaoyue, be careful!"
At this time, Yun Shaotian and Yun Qingjie attacked at the same time, standing between Bai Yue and Azhu. Yun Shaotian's martial arts skills were obviously on par with his opponent. After dozens of rounds of fighting, he knocked his opponent to the ground with one palm.
"Snapped!"
At this time, Azhu's mask had been knocked off, revealing a face that was half normal and half burned. Although the normal half of the face was obviously old, Yun Qingchi still muttered to himself in disbelief.
"You look like my mother, could it be that you are really..."
"No, no, I have nothing to do with that bitch, kill me quickly, kill me quickly!"
"Since you want to die so badly, why don't you commit suicide to comfort the souls you killed?"
Yun Qingjie looked at Azhu angrily and scolded him, and the other party suddenly knelt on the ground looking at his familiar face, wailing in pain.
"Your Majesty, it was you who forbade Ah Zhu to commit suicide. It was you who forbade me to die!"
