Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Locked by Li Rui's heavy gaze, Li Jinze opened his eyes wide in disbelief: "...Uncle Huang suspects that I am lying?"

Li Rui turned his face away and said nothing, but his body was already tilted a little towards where Qin and Quan were, and his meaning was already obvious.

When Li Jinze saw this, he shouted anxiously: "Uncle, I am wronged! Don't you know who I am? I have always done my duty and been loyal and filial to my father. I have never done anything arrogant, so how could I even think about it?" Want to murder your father? I am your nephew and uncle!"

"Am I not the royal uncle's nephew?"

The situation was reversed. Li Jinche, who had been panicking before, gradually calmed down. He felt relaxed and a little proud, and said helpfully: "Li Jinze, you failed to introduce tigers to the royal hunting ground to kill your father. Now, when your father is critically ill, you will He killed you cruelly, but you still have half of the loyalty and filial piety in your heart to be a minister and a son of man!"

"you……"

Li Jinze really didn't expect Li Jinche to be so shameless. He was so angry that his chest ached and he couldn't say a complete sentence.

Li Jinze and Li Jinche identified each other as the traitors who murdered their father, and they were both their nephews. Naturally, Li Rui had no intention of favoring either side. He could only believe whoever was more convincing.

Li Rui didn't know that Emperor Jingfeng had a plan to let Li Jinche join the vassal. Therefore, in his eyes, King Wu was a filial prince who worked hard and served Emperor Jingfeng at his bedside for many months, while Li Jinze was the one with undetermined guilt and a precarious status. It is self-evident who is more likely to jump over the wall and commit rebellion, Prince Dai Zui.

Not to mention that Qin Quan, the commander of the Feiyu Guards, also supported King Wu, which made Li Jinze's suspicion even more heightened.

However, the crime of rebellion is not a trivial matter. Of course, Li Rui would not judge who the traitor was so easily. He looked at Li Jinze and said solemnly: "Prince, you said you were unjust. King Wu has the commander of Qin to prove his innocence. How can it be so?" Who can testify for you?"

Li Jinze was flustered: "I, I..."

Of course he knew that he was not treason, but he had never been to the palace from beginning to end, and had not seen with his own eyes how Emperor Jingfeng was killed. As a result, he could not even provide strong evidence to defend himself.

As for Bai Xingjia, who went to find King Zhao with him, he had already left on an excuse before. Li Jinche even had Qin Quan to speak for him, but he could not find anyone to testify for him.

No one noticed that Li Jinche's hands hidden in his sleeves were shaking violently, and his heart was in his throat.

Facts speak louder than words. Li Rui can quickly find out who killed Emperor Jingfeng by going to the palace to investigate or asking the officials imprisoned by Fang Zigui.But when things have developed to this point, it's not whoever is right who wins, but whoever has more trump cards.

Although the Feiyu Guards in Li Jinche's hands are all elite, there are not many of them after all. If they face the Forbidden Army head-on, they are not sure of victory.Now, only by coaxing Li Rui to believe that Li Jinze is a traitor, and it is best to execute him on the spot, and then wait for an opportunity to seize control of the Forbidden Army, can we gain the greatest chance of victory.

Seeing that Li Jinze was panicking, Li Rui suddenly became suspicious of him. Li Jinche hurriedly said: "Uncle, he can't explain the reason. Li Jinze simply lied to you!"

"You, a traitor who kills kings and fathers, actually have the nerve to deceive the emperor! I will kill you immediately and ask you to go to Jiuquan to apologize to your father!"

Li Jinche was afraid that something might change later, so as he spoke, he hurriedly pulled out his sword and made a gesture to strike at Li Jinze.

"King Wu, please wait..."

"Report-"

The matter was not clear yet. Of course, Li Rui could not let him kill Li Jinze like this. He was shocked. Before he could stop him, he saw a Feiyu guard who looked embarrassed running from a distance: "Your Majesty, Dingguo Gong Su Qi. He led thousands of Beijing guards to storm the palace gate, claiming to rescue His Majesty and wipe out the rebels and rebels. Currently, the Donghua Gate has been breached, and Su Qi is leading the crowd towards the palace!"

"Su Qi?!" The expressions of Li Jinche and Qin Quan both changed, and they exchanged confused looks.

Li Rui was startled when he heard this, and then he laughed angrily: "Okay, here comes another thief who wants to suppress a thief... Let's go! Go and have a look, I want to ask Su Qi which thief is here to suppress!"

Just as everyone was about to set off, they saw a large group of Beijing camp guards coming towards Wuyang Wuyang, with smoke and dust billowing up. The leader was none other than Su Qi.

Li Rui's eyes flashed and he shouted: "Su Qi, stop! What do you want to do when you lead troops to forcefully break into the palace!"

Seeing that the person speaking was King Zhao Li Rui, Su Qi suddenly reined in his horse and said loudly: "On your Majesty's order, the guards from the Beijing camp are dispatched to the palace to serve the king and destroy the King of Wu's rebels!"

"King Wu rebels against the party..." Li Rui pondered these words and narrowed his eyes slightly, "So, you are here to help the prince?"

The King of Wu, the Prince, Qin Quan...the people who rebelled against the party and needed rescue and protection as mentioned by Gu Yunji were all present, and they did not look like they were fighting. Su Qi was confused about the situation for a moment and looked at Li Rui warily: "Zhao Why is His Majesty the King here? Are you here to rescue His Majesty?"

Mentioning this, King Zhao's eyes turned red, and grief surged in his heart: "Rescue Your Majesty... there is nothing left to rescue. The emperor's brother has passed away... and the traitorous ministers and traitors who really killed Your Majesty are among you!"

"What? His Majesty passed away?!"

Gu Yunji and Su Qi's expressions changed slightly, and they secretly thought something bad.

Previously, he was only thinking about leaving the palace to find Su Qi for rescue, and did not have time to think about it. Later, when he found Su Qi, he discovered that the tiger talisman that Cheng Yan asked Bai Xingjia to hand over to him was a forgery and could not be shown to others.

No wonder Cheng Yan named him and asked him to mobilize troops only to Su Qi. Firstly, Su Qi was familiar with them. As long as Gu Yunji said that the King of Wu was rebellious, he would definitely believe it. Secondly, as Su Qi was the Duke of Dingguo, he had a good reputation in the army. With prestige, just shining the tiger talisman can make soldiers obey orders, and no one will scrutinize whether it is true or false.

The two originally thought that regardless of whether the tiger talisman was true or false, they would first lead troops to surround the palace and wipe out King Wu's rebels. After Emperor Jingfeng was rescued, the truth would naturally become clear.

Unfortunately, the situation changed too quickly. Emperor Jingfeng had already been killed, and they had just arrived with the Beijing camp guards to confront King Zhao's forbidden army.Now both sides hold different opinions. King Zhao saw that Su Qi was able to mobilize soldiers from the capital camp, so he must check his tiger talisman.

Emperor Jingfeng died, and once the fake tiger talisman was revealed, the suspicion of rebellion would no longer be clear.

While King Zhao was immersed in grief and had no time to think about it, Gu Yunji's brain was running rapidly. He suddenly thought of something and asked: "...Where is Cheng Yan?"

Li Jinche's face turned pale instantly: Damn it, why did you forget him!
King Zhao Li Rui also gradually came to his senses: "...By the way, where is Cheng Yan? You are arguing here. Cheng Yan has been with the emperor from the beginning to the end. How could he not know the truth of the matter?"

Li Jinche subconsciously stopped him and said: "Uncle Emperor, it is still important to capture the rebels now, otherwise there will be chaos with so many soldiers..."

Li Rui noticed something strange in his expression and immediately walked back: "Let's go back to the palace and find Cheng Yan!"
