Raising a wife? The mistress of the Hou family divorced and remarried her younger uncle

Chapter 213 Please commit suicide
The eldest prince's cry sounded particularly mournful in the silent night, just like the cry of a cat wandering the streets in the bitter winter, unable to endure the biting cold. It was pitiful and miserable, with a hint of begging in every cry.

Being so young, he probably couldn't understand why his grandfather, who loved him so much, suddenly became so cruel. He couldn't even figure out what the knife on his neck meant, let alone what death meant.

The emperor suppressed his anger, and said in a low and majestic voice: "Yun'er is also your grandson! Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Are you really so crazy for the Lu family? Even if you kill Yu'er today, your life and the nine clans of the Lu family will be buried with him!"

The emperor had experienced cruel palace fighting and deeply understood the feeling of being manipulated by others. It was a terrible feeling. However, Yan'er was his only remaining son, and he had been raising him carefully in the Yangxin Palace, so he had a deep affection for him.

Prime Minister Lu had completely disregarded the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects at this moment, and he screamed almost crazily: "Your Majesty, for the sake of Yu'er, you even let the Princess of Southwest go, allowing her to walk around the palace freely, and turning a blind eye to her tipping off Southwest. Now, for Yu'er, you will definitely compromise, right? Your Majesty, between you and Yu'er, only one can survive tonight. If you want Yu'er to survive, you must die! Tonight, there can only be one monarch in this Yangxin Palace!"

The emperor was silent after hearing this. Lu Jing's heart sank. After entering the palace, he immediately sent Zhou Jingming to look for Yan'er, but he didn't expect that Prime Minister Lu was so cunning and had arranged Liu Jiang in advance.

Liu Jiang always had a firm control over Yan'er, and Zhou Jingming and others could not get close to him at all. Now, Yan'er became the emperor's biggest weakness. Several princes of the royal family were so scared that they dared not breathe, and the civil officials looked at each other in bewilderment, all of them were scared out of their wits.

Please commit suicide!

This was an unprecedented humiliation in the hundreds of years of imperial history of Dayuan. If the emperor really did this, it would be an eternal shame, being forced into such a situation by his subjects; but if he did not agree, Yan'er would lose his life.

The emperor was already in a weak state, with not much time left to live. Ordinary parents would go through fire and water for their children, not to mention that he was not only the ruler of a country, but also a father. For the sake of Yan'er, he had been threatened by Su Qingwan for a long time.

But if he really died, the palace would be a river of blood tonight. The Gyeonggi Guard has been on high alert, waiting for the order to charge into the palace. By then, who knows how many people will die!
"Your Majesty, what are you waiting for? Do you really want to watch Yan'er's head fall to the ground?" Prime Minister Lu's face was full of anger and he pressed forward step by step.

The emperor slowly turned his gaze towards Yu'er, and his eyes instantly became extremely gentle: "Yu'er, don't cry anymore, look at your father."

It seemed as if Yan'er understood. She gradually stopped crying and looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes.

The emperor said softly, "Yun'er, you are my father's only child, and you will be the crown prince of Dayuan in the future. My father is willing to give up everything in exchange for your safe growth. But now the situation is turbulent, and the Lu family is forcing the emperor to abdicate. If my father uses his life to exchange for you, many people will die in this imperial city tonight." The emperor tried his best to use simple and easy-to-understand words and patiently explained to Yu'er.

"Father cannot risk everyone's lives for Yan'er. Yan'er, be good and close your eyes. It will stop hurting soon. Father will kill everyone who hurt you and avenge you!"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Lu Jing raised his hand and fired a flare into the sky.

Outside the palace gate, Ning Yuanhou and General Chen saw the signal flare and immediately drew their swords, slashing through the night sky, and shouted loudly: "Kill! Soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy!"

"Kill!" The shouts came from the palace gate, becoming more and more intense.

Lu Jing also quickly drew his sword, shouted "Protect the emperor", and rushed towards the nearest imperial guard. He raised his sword and slashed, blood splattered, and the imperial guard's head was chopped off in an instant and rolled to the ground.

In the Yangxin Palace, the two forces immediately started fighting. One side protected the civil servant group headed by Prime Minister Lu, while the other side tried its best to protect the emperor. The imperial guards knew that the emperor was the emperor after all, and no one dared to bear the crime of regicide, which was a serious crime that would kill all nine generations of the family. Seeing that the civil servant group was gradually losing the upper hand, the morale of the imperial guards suddenly dropped. The Jinyiwei brought by Lu Jing were all brave and good at fighting, and they were all masters, and the imperial guards could not resist them at all.

The civil officials present had never seen such a bloody scene. They followed Prime Minister Lu to rebel and kill the king, but they were just coerced by the civil service group and bound by hundreds of years of interests. They usually enjoyed the wealth and glory brought by the clan, but at this moment they were trembling with fear.

Prime Minister Lu did not expect that the emperor would be so decisive that he would not care about Yan'er's life.

In a hurry, before he could give the order, Lu Jing's embroidered spring knife had already killed Liu Jiang. Liu Jiang grabbed Yu'er's collar tightly with one hand, and quickly raised the knife with the other hand to block, while shouting loudly: "Lord, how should we deal with this prince?"

"Let him go!" Prime Minister Lu knew that the situation was hopeless.

Since the emperor had abandoned Yu'er's life, he no longer had any trump cards in his hand and was doomed to failure. Killing Yu'er would not help, so it would be better to keep him, perhaps leaving a way for the Lu family to survive.

Liu Jiang gritted his teeth and threw Yan'er towards Lu Jing's embroidered spring knife. Seeing this, Lu Jing flew forward and hugged Yan'er. Unfortunately, Yan'er's waist and abdomen were still injured by Liu Jiang, and blood instantly dyed his clothes red.

Lu Jing hurriedly sent Yan'er to the emperor's arms, and at the same time ordered Zhou Jingming to protect the emperor with all his strength.

Liu Jiang lost his daughter and turned around to escape.

As the commander of the Jinyiwei, he knew the layout of the palace very well, so it was easy for him to escape. But as soon as he ran to the courtyard, he was blocked by Lu Jing with a knife.

"Master, where are you going?" Lu Jing asked coldly.

Liu Jiang narrowed his eyes and said viciously: "Lu Jing, you want to stop me? If you betray your master and ancestors, you will be struck by lightning! We each serve our own masters, how about you just pretend that you didn't see the master?"

Lu Jing smiled slightly, but his handsome face showed a bit of determination: "If we are just serving different masters, I could have let you go for the sake of our relationship as master and disciple. But..." Lu Jing's eyes flashed with a cold light, and the blade in his hand slowly moved forward, "I promised the princess that I would take your life. Master, I'm sorry!"

After saying that, Lu Jing swung his embroidered spring knife and slashed at Liu Jiang fiercely.

The martial arts that Lu Jing learned were not from Liu Jiang, and he had experience in the battlefield, so his moves were fierce and fatal. However, Liu Jiang was the commander of the Jinyiwei, and in the whole Dawan, there were few rivals for him in a one-on-one fight.

Lu Jing never thought of fighting him alone, and several Jinyiwei quickly joined the battle and attacked Liu Jiang one after another.

On the battlefield, fighting alone is the stupidest thing.
