Chapter 388: Saving the Master's Wife
"Wait a minute, Your Majesty. I have never had any intention of disobeying you. If I conduct a large-scale search today and spread the news, how can I save the reputation of Xiao Wang Mansion?"
The emperor snorted coldly, "Prince Xiao, don't try to quibble. If you have nothing to hide, why would you be afraid of reading this letter?"
"Yes."
Qin Ci'an lowered his head and stepped back casually, making way.
Jinyan opened the letter and just read one sentence, "Your Majesty personally..."
His face suddenly changed. This letter was from the old King Xiao, who asked for troops to aid the border, but was rejected by His Majesty. Jinyan hurriedly opened another letter, which was the content of the correspondence between His Majesty and the spies around the old King Xiao, which led to the old King Xiao's death on the battlefield.
This is evidence of guilt, but it’s not Qin Ci’an’s, it’s your Majesty’s.
"Why don't you read it?"
Qin Ci'an spoke on the side, and Jinyan hurriedly handed the letter to the emperor.
The sound of a teacup breaking was heard from the sedan chair.
Commander Xiao was horrified and looked at the sedan chair with suspicion.
At this time, Qin Ci'an said loudly: "Your Majesty, it seems that someone is deliberately framing me. I hope Your Majesty will investigate this matter."
The emperor had a gloomy expression and glared at Chu Ziyu who was standing next to Lin Ci'an.
Suddenly, there was a cry of killing outside.
"If the king wants me to die, I have to die, but I don't want to be framed and killed like my father, Your Majesty."
This was the last voice the emperor heard. It was a creepy voice that sounded like it came from the Netherworld.
Then, there was a flash of cold light, and the sharp blade ruthlessly cut his neck.
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, as if a blood flower was blooming in the air.
The old emperor widened his eyes, covering the wound on his neck that was bleeding profusely in disbelief, and looked straight at Qin Ci'an.
He used up his last bit of strength and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "You will...regret...this, uh...I curse...you...to suffer...badly..."
Before he could finish his words, his eyes widened with anger and he fell to the ground with a bang.
The people around were thrown into chaos in an instant, with screams of terror and cries for help coming one after another.
"Your Majesty! The Emperor has been assassinated! Come and rescue him...ah!" The place was in chaos.
The emperor's warm blood fell on Jin Yan's pale face like raindrops. He was completely stunned and couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes. He could never have imagined that the always resolute King Xiao would be so decisive to assassinate the emperor.
At this time, Jinyan did not choose to escape, but stood there like a wooden stake, looking around with empty eyes.
He knew very well that as the eunuch closest to the emperor, even if he escaped at this moment, where could he escape to? The world is so big, it belongs to the king, and sooner or later he would be caught and executed.
Thinking of this, he slowly closed his eyes, quietly waiting for his own butcher knife to fall.
At this moment, Jinyan felt a deep regret in his heart - he had not had the chance to see Li Xiangbing again.
However, just as he closed his eyes and prepared to face death, suddenly, he heard a familiar cry in his ears: "Master's wife, hurry up!"
"how do you know……"
It turned out to be Chu Ziyu who rushed forward. He swiftly blocked the fatal blow that was aimed at Jin Yan, and then kicked the man in front of him to the ground. Then, he grabbed Jin Yan's arm and dragged him away without saying anything.
Suddenly, shouts and cries of killing rang out. The battle broke out suddenly and fiercely. The flashes of swords and sabers flashed in the air, and every collision sent up a string of sparks. The bloody smell filled the air, making people feel suffocated.
