"Ahem! Let, let me go!"

Li Jinche's attention was focused on the imperial edict in front of him, and he was caught off guard and strangled by the neck, causing him to scream in shock.After all, he was a strong young man. His strength was not comparable to that of Emperor Jingfeng who had been ill in bed for a long time. He grabbed the sweat towel and twisted it with his backhand, and then broke free from the restraints.

Emperor Jingfeng's eyes turned red, and he came to strangle him again and again: "You traitor! I will strangle you to death..."

Li Jinche was furious, and with a pull of his right hand, he easily snatched the sweat towel from Emperor Jingfeng's hand.Then, in order to prevent him from coming forward again, Li Jinche pressed his back and threw him to the ground. The sweat towel was wrapped around Emperor Jingfeng's neck: "You still want to strangle me? I am the one who will strangle you!"

Li Jinche became furious for a moment, and the sweat towel tightened tighter and tighter. After a while, Emperor Jingfeng's face turned from green to purple, and his struggling movements gradually became smaller.

"His Majesty!"

Cheng Yan was shocked and angry, and subconsciously wanted to step forward, but unfortunately his hands and feet were tied. He struggled for a long time before moving a few steps, and there was no time to save Emperor Jingfeng.

Hearing Cheng Yan's voice, Li Jinche suddenly came back to his senses. His hands seemed to have been burned and he let go of the sweat towel that was holding Emperor Jingfeng's neck.

After losing his point of strength, Emperor Jingfeng's body collapsed, his mouth opened, his eyes bulging hugely, and he refused to close his eyes.

Li Jinche's face instantly turned pale, and he was so shocked that he took a few steps back and collapsed on the ground, panting heavily like a fish on the verge of death from thirst.

Cheng Yan shouted angrily: "Li Jinche! You are treasonous and unethical. How dare you kill your father! You are a thief who killed the king and usurped the throne. Even if you steal the throne, you are not justified. All the righteous members of the clan in the world can attack you. How long can you be arrogant?" ? Why don’t you just surrender quickly!”

Li Jinche didn't expect that he actually killed Emperor Jingfeng. The heavy label of "regicide" was slapped on him, making him breathless.Every time Cheng Yan's scolding fell into his ears, his guilty conscience became more and more serious.

Li Jinche walked around the room in panic for a few times, and suddenly became furious. He randomly found a handkerchief and stuffed it in Cheng Yan's mouth. He forced his face and said, "Cheng Yan, you, shut up! If you dare to say one more word, I kill you!"

"what happened?"

At this time, Qin Quan, commander of the Feiyu Guards, heard the commotion and rushed in. When he saw Emperor Jingfeng lying on the ground completely dead, his expression suddenly changed.

Li Jinche's lips trembled, and the panic in his eyes was clearly revealed: "Master Qin, I...I didn't mean it..."

Qin Quan stepped forward and checked Emperor Jingfeng's breath. His heart suddenly sank. He could guess what happened. He said solemnly: "Don't talk about it now. The matter has come to an end. We should go to Mr. Fang as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures." .”

The original plan was to control all officials while forcing Emperor Jingfeng to sign an imperial edict and make Li Jinche the crown prince.But before the imperial edict was signed, Emperor Jingfeng had already been accidentally killed by Li Jinche. Now the situation has changed. If no response is made in time, no one will be able to bear the charge of regicide.

"well……"

Li Jinche was so distraught that he couldn't calm down at all. He couldn't think of any other countermeasures. He could only do whatever Qin Quan said. After ordering the soldiers to watch carefully, he followed him out of the palace.

However, not long after the two of them left the emperor's palace, they saw a group of forbidden troops rushing towards here. The leaders were none other than Li Jinze and Zhao Wang Li Rui.

Seeing that Li Jinche looked panicked and seemed to be trying to escape, Li Jinze shouted: "Li Jinche, you treacherous minister and traitor, where are you running!" Li Jinche killed Emperor Jingfeng by mistake and was already in a panic. Now he saw Li Jinze leading the imperial army. When he arrived, he felt that a disaster was imminent, and was almost scared to death by Li Jinze's roar.

Qin Quan on the side was much calmer than him, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and he soon understood why the prince appeared here. Hearing this, he quickly became wise and said before Li Jinze asked, "Okay, Li Jinze, it turns out. It's really easy for us to find you here!"

"Come here, capture the traitor Li Jinze who is planning to murder Your Majesty!"

"Yes!" The Feiyu guards obeyed the order and immediately rushed towards Li Jinze.

"Wait a minute! Don't move!" The situation changed too quickly. King Zhao Li Rui didn't even have time to figure out what was going on. He quickly spoke out and suppressed the tense Feiyu Guards and the Forbidden Army.

Li Rui looked at the angry-looking Li Jinze next to him, and then at Qin Quan and Li Jinche who were standing together. His mind was a little confused: "...What's going on? Who is the thief? Prince, it's not you and me. Are you saying that King Wu intended to rebel and led his troops to surround His Majesty's palace?"

"King Wu intends to rebel? Ha, His Highness the Crown Prince is really good at complaining to evildoers first."

Before Li Jinze could answer, Qin Quan sneered and said, "His Royal Highness King Zhao should know that His Majesty summoned the Crown Prince, right? Half an hour ago, the Crown Prince was summoned to the palace, but His Majesty dismissed the attendants to talk alone."

"While I was waiting outside, I heard some scolding coming from inside. It seemed that His Majesty and the Crown Prince were quarreling. Due to His Majesty's agenda, King Wu and I didn't dare to take a step forward. We didn't go in until the noise stopped. After checking, I discovered, discovered..."

Speaking of this, Qin Quan's eyes turned red, and he looked really sad. He choked up and said, "I found His Majesty lying on the ground, dead! And the Prince is nowhere to be found..."

"There are strangulation marks on His Majesty's neck. It was obvious that he was killed by someone. During that time, there was no one else in the palace except the Crown Prince. Who else could he have killed His Majesty? Li Jinze fled in fear of crime and actually shouted to catch the thief. When How shameless!"

When he learned that Emperor Jingfeng was dead, Li Rui's mind went blank: "What?! The emperor's brother passed away..."

Li Jinze was also shocked, but soon he felt extremely angry at Qin Quan's slander, and he was trembling with anger: "You, you villain should complain first! It's obvious that you and the King of Wu colluded together to force my father to depose me. Make King Wu the crown prince instead.”

"Now that you have killed my father, you are actually pouring dirty water on me. You are the real rebellious officials and rebels!"

"That's enough!" Li Rui came back to his senses from the sad news that his brother was killed, and almost collapsed to stop the two quarreling people, "You, and you! You guys have different opinions. Who killed the emperor's brother? I’ll recruit you from the ground up!”

Qin Quan said with a gloomy face: "Your Highness, King Zhao, I am the commander of the Flying Fish Guards personally appointed by Your Majesty. I have always been loyal to Your Majesty. Does Your Highness, King Zhao, believe that my majestic Feiyu Guards will become a traitor who murders the monarch?"

"I, Qin Quan, can use the head on my neck to guarantee that the King of Wu definitely did not murder His Majesty, but Li Jinze. He kept saying that we intended to rebel. I wonder if there is any evidence of our rebellion? I believe that His Highness King Zhao was in a hurry and was deceived by a traitor. Now that the facts are clear, I don’t need to say more about who His Highness should believe, right?”

The Feiyu Guard is essentially a spy agency, and its power comes from the emperor. Under normal circumstances, there is no reason to betray the emperor.Although Qin Quan did not provide convincing evidence, Li Jinze was also empty-handed and said that King Wu wanted to rebel.

One was the Feiyu Guard who had been following the emperor all year round, and the other was the Prince Daizui who had just been released from prison. Li Rui soon had a preference in his heart, and locked eyes with Li Jinze beside him with a cool gaze:
"Prince, what do you have to say?"
