Besides lying down, I also know a little about power struggles

Chapter 189 Double Kill
On the palace road leading to Jiying Palace, Feng Yuyang walked slowly in front, with an imperial guard following behind and on his left and right.

"Your Highness, please hurry up." said an imperial guard.

Feng Yuyang looked up at the sky, raised his hands to reveal the ropes tied around his wrists, "I'm here, are you afraid I'll run away?"

"Your Majesty has summoned me, and I dare not neglect it. If Your Highness delays, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain."

Feng Yuyang laughed twice: "It's you who have a hard time explaining, not me."

"Your Highness," the imperial guard said emphatically, "We are following orders. If Your Highness does not cooperate, please do not blame me for being rude."

Feng Yuyang snorted, "A tiger in troubled times is bullied by a dog. Let's go. I want to see what your majesty wants me to do."

Several people entered the Jiying Hall. All the tables and chairs in the hall had been removed. The spacious hall was covered with red carpets and embroidered with gold threads. Red candles as thick as children's arms were burning everywhere, and the air was filled with the lingering aroma of wine.

Feng Yunxi stood in front of the throne with his hands hanging down.

Feng Yuyang glanced at him and chuckled, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is here too? I thought we brothers would never see each other again."

Feng Yunxi lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Feng Yuyang raised his lips mockingly and turned to look at the throne: "Your Majesty summoned me here, why?"

The emperor half leaned back in his chair and looked at him coldly: "What is the origin of Wuyueshanren?"

Feng Yuyang raised his eyebrows: "Your Majesty, have you caught him?"

The emperor leaned forward slightly and said, "Just answer."

Feng Yuyang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, when you wiped out the Queen's clan, did you ever think that there would be some fish that slipped through the net?"

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly: "Impossible."

"Nothing is impossible in this world." Feng Yuyang said, "When the queen died, your Yue family guessed that this matter would not end well. It's also your father-in-law's fault for being indecisive and not turning against them in time. Otherwise, who would be sitting on the throne today is unknown."

"You are wrong," the emperor said coldly, "The reason why the relatives are relatives is that they do not have the ability to change the world. Unless they kill the Feng family, they can only place their hopes on their nephews like Sui Yongdao did."

"That's why you want the Queen's son to die," Feng Yuyang said with a sneer, "Without this child, the Queen's family will never have a chance to turn things around."

He sighed deeply, "I heard that the child is very smart and can speak eloquently at the age of five. You can just give up such a smart son if you want."

"I am doing this for Dazhao," the emperor said, "my son has enjoyed the blessing of being a prince, so he should make sacrifices for Dazhao."

"Why don't you sacrifice yourself?" Feng Yuyang sneered.

"Without me, there would be no prosperity of Dazhao today." The emperor said gloomily, "How can you imagine the hard work I have put in?"

"Of course I can't imagine it," Feng Yuyang said, "Why don't you let me be the emperor, then I will understand everything."

"How dare you." The emperor slapped the armrest. "Which lineage of the queen is Wuyueshanren from? Besides him, who else is on the run?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured. Wu Yue is just one of the Queen's distant relatives. If you hadn't killed all nine of his clans, he wouldn't have been hiding his identity for so many years." Feng Yuyang said, "It was just a coincidence that I met him, but both he and I wanted to seek justice for ourselves, so we hit it off."

"Where is he now? What do you plan with him?"

"Plot?" Feng Yuyang shrugged. "I regret not letting him go to the imperial farm with me today."

"He stayed in the capital?" the emperor asked. "What did he want to do?"

"Nothing. I wanted him to capture a few hostages to prevent anyone from being disobedient, especially Twelve," Feng Yuyang smiled, "but Your Majesty is more ruthless than me. Twelve has not agreed to let me become the crown prince, but you won't allow him to continue living in this world."

The emperor said indifferently: "My son does not need so much nonsense. After tonight, you can go and accompany your mother."

Feng Yuyang's expression changed: "Did you kill her?"

"The virtuous concubine was weak. When she heard that you had died in the imperial farm, she could not bear the shock and followed you," the emperor said. "This is the last dignity I can give her."

Feng Yuyang stared at him for a long while with a wooden face, then burst into laughter.

"Very well, then what are you going to do with her mother's family?"

"If you can tell the truth about the remnants of the gang, I can pretend that this incident never happened." The emperor sat on the high throne with a calm expression, "I don't want to commit more murders, as long as you obey me."

"Be obedient?" Feng Yuyang chewed on the two words slowly, then turned to look at Feng Yunxi who was standing beside him, "Have you decided to be obedient, Prince?" Feng Yunxi said calmly, "It has nothing to do with you."

Feng Yuyang laughed again.

He walked in front of Feng Yunxi and whispered, "I really want to see how far you can go as His Majesty's favorite son."

As soon as he uttered the word "far", his bound wrists suddenly separated, and a dagger flashing with cold light appeared in his palm and stabbed towards Feng Yunxi.

No one expected Feng Yuyang to break free from the ropes. Everyone exclaimed and several imperial guards rushed over.

"Prince be careful!"

One of them grabbed Feng Yuyang's arm and pushed him away.

Seeing Feng Yunxi was rescued, everyone felt relieved.

At this moment, the imperial guard suddenly drew out a blade and slashed Feng Yunxi's neck.

Feng Yunxi opened her eyes wide in shock.

At the same time, another exclamation was heard.

However, although Feng Yuyang was pushed away, he happened to retreat to the front of the throne.

At this time, everyone was paying attention to Feng Yunxi, and no one noticed that he was so close to the emperor.

It was Chaoen, who was standing by, who reacted first.

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

Before he finished speaking, his body was already blocking the emperor.

With a muffled groan, Feng Yuyang stabbed the dagger in Chao En's chest.

Chao En paused slightly, looked down at the dagger that was not even up to the handle in front of his chest, then slowly turned around and glanced at the emperor.

The emperor held his belt in his hand.

At the critical moment, he pulled Chao En over to block himself and avoided the knife.

Chao En's lips moved: "...Your Majesty..."

The emperor said expressionlessly: "Thank you for dying for me."

Chao En smiled bitterly.

"Yes... old slave..."

His breath weakened, and the rest of his words disappeared with it.

Chao En tilted his head and died between the emperor and Feng Yuyang.

Feng Yuyang failed to hit him, so he grabbed the dagger and pulled it out.

But the dagger was stuck so tightly in Chao En's body that he couldn't be pulled out for a while.

At this moment, his body suddenly stiffened, and he stopped like Chao En.

He trembled all over and took two steps back. Because his lower body was unstable, he staggered and fell to the ground.

He covered his waist and felt something wet.

That's his blood.

He stared forward in disbelief, only to see a short knife covered in blood under Chao En's armpit.

With a "bang", Chaoen's body fell to the ground.

The emperor slowly stood up from behind him, the knife in his hand.
