More and more inner court experts surged in. King Nanyang’s martial arts were outstanding, but he could not withstand such a round-robin battle. In a moment of desperation, he looked at the Empress Dowager.

He wanted to hold the Empress Dowager hostage.

He only wanted a hostage and did not intend to hurt anyone. Unfortunately, he stepped on a round gem. His feet slipped and the sword in his hand stabbed at the Empress Dowager.

His expression changed.

Everything happened too quickly. He didn’t have time to retract his sword or dodge.

The Empress Dowager watched in a daze as the sword stabbed at her.

Puchi—

The sharp blade struck.

Emperor Jing Xuan fell in front of the Empress Dowager.

An expert rushed over and kicked King Nanyang away. The sword in Emperor Jing Xuan’s chest was pulled out.

Blood splattered all over the ground.

The Empress Dowager knelt on the ground and hugged Emperor Jing Xuan. She covered his bleeding wound with her hand and choked. “Emperor… Emperor…

Yu’er…”

Emperor Jing Xuan endured the pain and squeezed out a bitter smile. “Mother hasn’t addressed me as your son in many years…”

The Empress Dowager choked. “Don’t speak… Imperial Physician Xuan… Imperial Physician..

Eunuch Fu hurriedly went to call the imperial physician.

Eunuch Cheng brought medicine and a clean cloth over and treated Emperor Jing Xuan’s wound.

Emperor Jing Xuan had lost a lot of blood, and his face was pale.

King Nanyang’s moves were sharp. Soon, he broke out of the encirclement and arrived at the courtyard.

However, just as he was about to step out, Deputy Tong Liu led a team of imperial guards and rushed in aggressively.

Emperor Jing Xuan sat on the ground weakly, but his aura did not decrease as he looked at King Nanyang, who was surrounded by the inner court experts. “Surrender and I’ll leave your corpse intact.”

King Nanyang slowly turned around, there was no fear in his eyes. “Do you really think they’re here to capture me?”

An ominous feeling surged in Emperor Jing Xuan’s heart.

In the next second, he saw King Nanyang raise his hand. “Deputy Commander Liu, capture the people from Yong Shou Palace! Don’t let a single one out!” Everyone was shocked!

“You…” Emperor Jing Xuan looked at King Nanyang and then at Deputy Commander Liu, who was holding a sword.” Even you..

Eunuch Cheng gritted his teeth and stood in front of Emperor Jing Xuan and the Empress Dowager.

However, surprisingly, Deputy Commander Liu did not move.

King Nanyang frowned and glanced at Deputy Commander Liu. “Aren’t you going to attack? Do you want me to say it three times?”

THUD!

Deputy Commander Liu faced down and fell to the ground, dying with grievance.

Su Cheng stood behind him, holding a bloodstained dagger.

A trace of extreme shock flashed across King Nanyang’s eyes.

Su Cheng threw away the dagger, pulled out his treasure saber, and pointed it at King Nanyang. He said with a full aura, “Take down the renegade!”

The imperial guards swarmed forward and surrounded King Nanyang.

King Nanyang narrowed his eyes and took out a signal bamboo from his pocket. After lighting it, fireworks exploded in the air.

This was the signal to contact Commander Jin.

This operation was divided into two groups. Vice Commander Liu took the lead to control the Yong Shou Palace. Commander Jin led his troops to lie in ambush everywhere. With an order, he immediately forced the palace.

Unexpectedly, after the signal was released, there was no movement at all.

Su Cheng raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Are you dumbfounded? Aren’t your people gone?”

In the duty room of the Imperial City Division, Commander Jin was tied to a pillar and stuffed with a smelly rag.

“WII! Wu!”

“Someone!”

“Let me out!”

The imperial guards under Commander Jin could not care less about him. Su Cheng spent money at noon and asked the kitchen to add a plate of red braised pork for them.

These people were even secretly amused and mocked Su Cheng for currying favor with Commander Jin.

Su Cheng smiled foolishly and turned around to sprinkle two large bags of laxatives inside.

Everyone vomited and had diarrhea. They fought over the toilet.

King Nanyang never expected that the plan he had secretly planned for so long would be ruined by a sh*t stirrer. It was fine if he lost the battle, but he had to fall into the hands of a village bandit and bully— It was simply enough to make one vomit blood.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, King Nanyang could only give up on his plan and leave. He used his qinggong and left.

Su Cheng led his men to chase after them. A few black-clothed experts descended from the sky and blocked the path of Su Cheng and the others.

Su Cheng raised his saber and attacked the black-clothed experts.

Sitting on the floor of the bedroom, Emperor Jing Xuan looked at Su Cheng, who was fighting bravely, and inexplicably saw some traces of Qin Canglan’s youth.

He thought of Qin Jiang again. If it were Qin Jiang today, could he kill King Nanyang unexpectedly and turn the situation around like Su Cheng?

It was probably impossible.

“He’s his biological son after all…”
