I play the role of Jiajing in Zongwu: What crime have I committed?

Qin Banruo huddled in a corner, looking at the unfamiliar emperor in terror.

At this moment, he had lost all of his usual dignity.

He's a complete madman.

Just as Zhu Houcong was letting loose, the three people in the room exchanged a knowing glance.

Xiao Jingyan suddenly said to Zhuque, "Mr. Zhuque, the wanted criminal is dead, and Nihuang has been found. We shall take our leave now."

"The auspicious hour is approaching; Princess Nihuang still needs to return to her residence to dress and groom herself."

Mu Qing calmly helped Nihuang up.

The three of them slowly retreated, attempting to leave first.

They were still gambling that Suzaku hadn't heard what he had just said.

Unfortunately, they didn't know.

From the moment Lin Shu breathed his last, it was destined that none of them would leave alive.

Not to mention letting Nihuang carry away a whole nest of tadpoles.

To cut weeds, we must remove the roots.

Lin Shu is dead, so naturally they cannot be allowed to live.

The next second, Suzaku appeared in the doorway in a flash, blocking the way for the three of them.

He raised his head, looking at the three of them with extremely cold eyes, while a strange smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Where...do you want to go?"

Chapter 206 Understanding the Villain, Becoming the Villain

Xiao Jingyan felt a chill run down his spine as he watched Zhuque blocking the doorway, her whole body radiating murderous intent.

Alarm bells rang in my heart.

He immediately held his sword horizontally in front of him, protecting Nihuang and Mu Qing behind him.

"What does Mr. Suzaku mean by this?"

"I am a seventh-rank prince of the current dynasty, how dare you stop me?"

Zhuque leaned against the doorway, slowly cleaning her nails with her thumb, without even lifting her eyelids.

"I will naturally not stop Your Highness Prince Jing, but these two people behind you will not be able to leave."

"The Mu Prince's Mansion harbored a wanted criminal. Princess Nihuang had an affair with the criminal on the eve of her wedding and had sex with him before the wedding."

"Such treason is an unforgivable sin."

"you…"

Xiao Jingyan was so angry that he trembled all over, and the rage in his eyes was almost bursting out.

"Do you know that delaying my marriage is a disgrace to the entire royal family? Your Eastern Depot is nothing but the royal family's dogs; can you bear the consequences?"

Zhuque couldn't help but sneer after hearing this.

"Hey, don't label me."

He grinned and said casually, "You do your wedding, I'll do my job. We'll keep to ourselves. I'm not stopping you from becoming a sucker."

"If you won't let Nihuang leave, how can I, the king, proceed with the marriage?"

Zhuque shrugged indifferently.

"What's it to me? It's not like I'm getting married."

The words had barely left his lips when they ignited Xiao Jingyan's fury.

He could tell at once that Zhuque was just teasing him.

Suddenly, the air around him surged, and his eighth-grade true qi erupted.

Zheng!

The sound of a sword suddenly rang out.

A sword light, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, aimed straight for the Vermilion Bird's throat.

"The worm shakes the tree!"

Zhuque pursed her lips in disdain and flicked her finger.

boom!

An invisible force struck Xiao Jingyan in the chest, sending him flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

It slammed heavily against the wall, then crashed to the ground.

He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Your Highness Prince Jing."

Nihuang and Mu Qing exclaimed in surprise at the same time, and Mu Qing angrily rebuked Zhuque.

"You attacked a prince! I will definitely report you to the Emperor."

"No need, I'm already here."

The next second, a majestic and cold voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.

The undisguised killing intent in his voice reached everyone's ears.

Zhu Houcong, dressed in a Taoist robe and holding a wooden mallet with a coiled dragon design, slowly stepped into the house.

He looked at the three dumbfounded people and felt incredibly pleased.

When I used to watch TV, I always thought that villains died because they talked too much, and that the plots were incredibly stupid.

But when he actually stepped into the room and saw the shocked expressions on the faces of the Lin Shu Group members, he could understand just how exhilarating that feeling truly was.

If you don't make these ants worship your carefully designed trap, then you're in trouble.

Wouldn't that be a waste of such a great idea?

One must always put on airs, because that's the emotional value that humans need most.

Showing off can bring you happiness, self-esteem, and a sense of satisfaction.

Make your life more colorful.

Especially when you see your enemies looking terrified, as if they've fallen into an abyss.

When you are struggling to survive but are powerless to do anything about it.

That feeling, that taste, was indescribably exhilarating.

It's like when you played King of Glory in your past life and encountered a match where you were crushing a noob, you always thought about pushing the tower slowly.

As the three watched Zhu Houcong step into the house, the heavy footsteps sounded like a death knell in their ears.

With each step he took, the terrifying imperial pressure emanating from him intensified.

It was so oppressive that they could barely breathe.

Those eyes were extremely cold, and the way they looked at them was as if they were looking at three corpses.

Xiao Jingyan stared at Zhu Houcong with a tense expression.

"Father...Father Emperor..."

Zhu Houcong, however, seemed not to hear and took the longsword from Zhuque's hand.

He walked straight to Mei Changsu's body.

The next second, the longsword in his hand slashed down fiercely.

One sword, one sword, and another...

The sound of flesh being torn apart was particularly jarring in the silent room.

Zhu Houcong slashed harder and harder, his eyes flashing with a mad light.

"You think you can fool me by changing your appearance?"

"You think that by coming to the capital and stirring up trouble, you can seek justice for the Chiyan Army?"

"Mei Changsu, Mei Cangshu."

He kept raising his blood-stained sword and slashing.

Blood splattered on Zhu Houcong's hideous face, making him look like a demon crawling out of hell.

"You dog, you still died right in front of me."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyan and the other two felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, their faces turning deathly pale.

They didn't expect that the Emperor already knew that Mei Changsu was Lin Shu.

So, the Emperor was behind everything?

Mei Changsu was quickly dismembered and hacked to pieces.

"No!!!"

Then, Nihuang let out a heart-wrenching scream.

She watched helplessly as Zhu Houcong's sword repeatedly struck Mei Changsu, and she could no longer bear it.

He pounced on Zhu Houcong like a madman.

Zhu Houcong didn't even turn his head, casually waving his sleeves.

boom!

Nihuang was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"elder sister."

Mu Qing's eyes were bloodshot.

Just as he was about to draw his sword and attack Zhu Houcong, Zhu Que held him down firmly.

Princess Nihuang coughed up blood as she gasped in disbelief.

"How is this possible? You actually possess the strength of a Grandmaster?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Houcong finally stopped what he was doing.

He casually wiped the blood splattered on his face, slowly turned around, his gaze eerily calm.

"If I hadn't concealed my strength and bided my time, wouldn't you treacherous officials have torn the heavens apart?"

It was only then that Nihuang suddenly realized that the emperor before her was far more terrifying than they had imagined!

"Baby!"

Mu Qing, who was standing to the side, cursed angrily.

Zhu Houcong tilted his head and looked at him sideways.

"Yue Xiuzhe also called me 'I'm baby,' you should know what his fate was!"

"Besides, the Mu Prince's mansion harbors a Grandmaster, yet you two siblings have never reported this to me."

"You are the ones with treacherous intentions; your hearts deserve to be punished!"

Xiao Jingyan, standing to the side, remained completely calm. As the saying goes, there is no greater sorrow than a broken heart, and that was exactly his state at the moment.

What could be more devastating than discovering that the father you trusted had been lying and deceiving you all along?

Before today, he naively believed that he was experiencing his father's love.

Unexpectedly, in just a few hours, things have turned out this way.

He stood up, staring at her with his large, bulging eyes, and questioned her.

"Father, you've been lying to me all along, haven't you!"

"Jingyan, you have disappointed me greatly."
