All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Zhao Dong knew that at this moment, the emperor was angry.

If the confrontation with the dead man who cheated the corpse continues like this, I am afraid there will be no possibility of turning around.

He simply rolled his eyes and lay motionless on the ground, pretending to "faint" to death, trying to avoid the fierce ghost's sharp edge.

However, how could "Yatzhu" give him this opportunity.

Just now the dagger he stuck in Yuzhu's heart was still held in Yuzhu's hand.

"Since you don't want to plead guilty, then I will simply seek justice for myself and King An, and send you back to the west."

As Yuzhu said, she directly held the short sword in her hand with both hands, pointed it at Zhao Dong's heart, and stabbed down fiercely!
The moment the sword tip was about to touch Zhao Dong's heart——
Sensing the crisis, Zhao Dong subconsciously opened his eyes, not daring to pretend to be dizzy anymore, and raised his hand to grab Yu Zhu's hand.

The cold and sticky feel of the corpse in the palm of his hand made Zhao Dong tremble.

The instinct to survive overcame the fear of the dead ghost in front of him, so Zhao Dong took the short sword from Yuzhu's hand and pushed him away.

No matter how bad Zhao Dong was, he still had some kung fu skills, and Yuzhu was just a corpse after all.

Pushed by him, Yuzhu staggered back and fell to the ground.

Just between grabbing and pushing, Zhao Dong felt that the corpse in front of him was not as strong and indestructible as he imagined.

He was so vicious that he stabbed fiercely into the throat of Yu Zhu's corpse with his backhand!

The throat of the corpse issued a "ho ho" sound, like a dying cry.

Zhao Dong was amazed that he succeeded with one blow, and raised his voice: "You evil ghost, talking nonsense, and dare to kill people in front of the emperor, you want to die!"

He swiped the dagger in his hand vigorously, cutting off Yu Zhu's head.

The corpse twitched a few times, and returned to calm without a sound.

Even though the corpse looked like it was dead, Zhao Dong didn't dare to take it lightly, and kept stabbing at the corpse.

One stroke, one stroke, another stroke, every sword hit a vital part.

He must make it impossible for this corpse to testify against him.

At this moment, Zhao Dong's face, illuminated by the candlelight, was distorted and hideous.

It is completely different from his usual image in front of people.

What's more, he is completely different from the Wei Guogong who was holding his hair and trembling just now.

It was the first time for the emperor and the eldest princess to see Zhao Dong like this, and their eyes were filled with shock.

They never expected that Zhao Dong, who was addicted to beauty, would have such a cruel and bloodthirsty side.

Speaking of talent just now, the emperor still had some doubts in his heart, feeling that with Zhao Dong's temper, he might not be able to do such a thing as instructing people to kill and dismember the corpse, and store the corpse in the ice cellar.

At this moment, there is no doubt in his heart.

"Duke Wei, Yuzhu is dead, you still don't let him go." The phantom on the white screen swayed a few times, and a young voice sounded faintly: "You thought you killed him, what you did, Is there no one to testify?"

"There is also this king." The young man's voice is no longer as weak as before, but has become resolute, "Even if this king's body is rotten, there is still this wisp of soul that can go to court with you. This king will not allow you to go unpunished. Do you want to kill this king too?"

At this moment, Zhao Dong was already red-eyed, and there was only one thought in his mind, killing that corpse and this ghost, so that they could be said to be fake, so that all the accusations could not be established, and he would be safe and sound.

"It's just a lonely ghost pretending to be His Highness King An, so why not kill you?"

He said, clenched the dagger in his hand, and really walked towards Baibu.

"Enough!" The emperor shouted heavily, "Come here, let me take down this traitor who dares to bully the king, assassinate the prince, and murderously!"

As soon as the voice fell, a guard rushed up from the stairs in an instant.

The Emperor's deep drink woke up the unconscious Concubine Zhao. She saw Zhao Dong holding a dagger in his hand, and immediately opened her eyes wide.

"Dong'er! What are you doing!" She stood up anxiously and wanted to rush up, but her legs became weak, and she fell back down heavily. In desperation, she could only shout loudly, "Put down the sword quickly! That's His Royal Highness King An, even if you don't care about yourself, you still have to think about the people of the Zhao clan, do you want them to be buried with you!"

Concubine Zhao's shout finally woke up Zhao Dong.

Thinking of what he had just done, Zhao Dong suddenly realized that he had once again fallen into the other party's trap.

Expose the most unknown side of your heart.

The words "deceive the emperor, assassinate the prince, and become bloodthirsty" already indicated that the emperor believed in the words of the corpse and soul just now in his heart.

This is a serious crime of ransacking the family!

Once the emperor finds you guilty, even if there is no evidence, he can still convict you!

Even if the corpse and the ghost were killed, it would be useless.

Zhao Dong suddenly panicked, "Bang Dang", and threw away the dagger in his hand.

It is not a pity for him to die, but the Zhao family cannot fall, he wants to fight for a chance of life for the Zhao family.

"The minister should die!"

Zhao Dong plopped on the ground, turned to beg for mercy, and said in a trembling voice: "I was deceived by others and was confused for a while, so I made such a big mistake. All the things are done by me alone, and have nothing to do with the Zhao family. For the sake of the late Empress Dowager Duanhui's sake, the emperor spared the Zhao clan."

The emperor walked in front of him and looked down at him, his eyes were scarlet and filled with hatred.

"When you decided to kill Jiulang back then, you should have thought that such a day would come. If today, I spared the Zhao family, with your own life, how can I comfort my son's spirit in heaven."

This is not going to forgive the Zhao family!
Zhao Dong panicked even more.

Although he has few heirs, he has sons and daughters.

"Your Majesty, the Zhao family is also your natal family, and the Zhao family are all your blood relatives. I beg you to take pity on them and let them live..."

Seeing this, the eldest princess on the side spoke at the right time, and said in a cool tone: "If the Zhao family really regards us as close blood relatives, how can they do such unconscionable things. You first harm my palace, then Jiulang, and the next one will be the next one." , could it be the emperor brother?"

At a time like this, for the princess to say such things in front of the emperor, it would be tantamount to killing people and adding fuel to the fire.

As expected, the emperor's face became extremely gloomy because of these words, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Zhao Dong turned to look at her: "Back then, the Zhao and Liang families were evenly matched in the court. The eldest princess wanted to marry that boy Liang Qing, and insisted on marrying him. To break this balance, my father had no choice but to destroy your marriage. These In [-], you and Cui Jin were in harmony, and Cui Jin was obedient to you, how could this be considered harming you?"

The eldest princess seemed to hear the funniest joke in the world, "Duke Wei, did you forget that I almost died in the hands of your assassin a few days ago?"

"That's also because you want to avenge that Yu Zhu who looks like Liang Qing, so I have no choice but to do it!"

Zhao Dong said bitterly: "Yuzhu is a member of the Liang family. He should have been executed for the crime of treason more than ten years ago. I killed him to kill the remnants of the rebel party for the court! Yuzhu deserves to die. Everyone deserves to die!"

Hearing him mention Liang's family through gritted teeth, the eldest princess looked even more stern, "What about King An? He treats you like his own father, why did you kill him?"

Now that the matter has come to an end, Zhao Dong has nothing to hide, "After the fall of the Liang family, everyone said that the Liang family was the victim of the Zhao family. King An was born of Concubine Lian. If he ascends to the Great Treasure in the future, how can my Zhao family survive? What is wrong with exchanging the life of King An for the eternal succession of the emperor?"

He said, pointing to the spells around him to prove his point, "Your Majesty, look, behind these spells, there is a large formation hidden, which is the famous Requiem Formation in Yunguo. It came from the hands of the former prince of the Yun Kingdom. Only by sacrificing the descendants of the royal family like Emperor Li of the Yun Kingdom, can the curse set by Emperor Li of that year be broken."

Zhao Dong pointed to King An's soul on the white cloth, "Look, two years after King An's death, the soul is still trapped in this array, which proves that this requiem array is really useful."

"From now on, you don't have to worry about the curse of Emperor Lie anymore."

"Your Majesty, although I have my own selfishness in doing all this, I am also planning for the Emperor. My loyalty to you can be learned from the sun and the moon. All the glory of my Zhao family comes from the trust of the emperor. The Zhao family can be regarded as a The most loyal person to the emperor in this world. Therefore, I will never harm the emperor as the eldest princess said. On the contrary, this requiem formation, I have been set up by the emperor for thousands of miles and generations. Look at the array Eyes, this is King An's willingness to sacrifice himself to this formation, I have never forced him to die!"

Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, thousands of generations...

It was King An who was willing to sacrifice himself...

There was never a word of persecution...

Hearing these three words, the emperor felt a sudden pain in his heart.

A mouthful of fishy sweetness surged up from the throat.
