Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family
Chapter 645: The Palace CoupThe sins committed by the Ling family were so deep that several of the princes could only give birth to daughters but not sons.
He finally got this one, and it's only been ten days today.
Ling Heng suddenly laughed: "Fifth brother, how about I, as your elder brother, give you a choice? We are brothers after all. Either you or your son can survive, or you die. Or..."
"Your son is dead!"
The Fifth Prince's wife cried so hard that she almost fainted. The child in her arms had been snatched away and thrown to Huang Sheng.
Huang Sheng held the child in one hand and a knife in the other.
That was the knife that was used to cut open Mrs. Zhi's belly and take out Chun Ning two months ago.
"Have you made up your mind?" Ling Heng smiled sinisterly and turned to look at Li Shuangwan again.
Emperor Jingzhang shouted, "Li Shuangyan, what are you waiting for? Kill him for me! Have you forgotten what the sword in your hand can do?"
Li Shuangwan could barely hold the sword in her hand. If she could, she would have killed it with one strike of the sword.
Unfortunately, no.
There were at least three hundred archers lying in ambush all around.
Ling Heng seemed to find this ridiculous. He raised his head and looked around the palace wall: "Everyone, come out."
Almost everyone followed his gaze and looked over.
Dense groups of archers emerged from the parapets, with their bows drawn to the huge group of people below.
"Ten thousand arrows will be fired at once, and we can die together. Li Shuangyan, you can't be my crown princess alive, but you can die, too."
Li Shuangwan felt that Ling Heng was really crazy today, crazy!
In her previous life, she lived with him for ten years and never knew that Ling Heng was actually a lunatic at heart!
In fact, he had discovered this. On the first day after he ascended the throne, he killed his elder brother Ling Ji.
He also chopped up his body and fed it to the fish in the pond in Prince Lingji's mansion. He chopped it up himself.
Qinglian, who used to be a slave in Prince Heng's palace and later became a concubine in Ling Heng's harem, proudly told her about this.
"Sister Queen, you know, the emperor took me there and did it himself. Tsk tsk, the internal organs were chopped into small pieces, and blood was flying everywhere. It was so beautiful."
And she vomited so much that even jaundiced water came out.
Also in the cold palace, he took a tinder and slowly lit the curtains, watching herself being consumed by the fire bit by bit, and she cried heartbreakingly.
And he, in the firelight, always had a smile on his face.
If this kind of person is not a lunatic, then who is?
Li Shuangwan felt bitter in her heart because she had never seen through him.
She gritted her teeth, pushed the knife closer, and said angrily: "Ling Heng, do you want to try and see which is faster, their bows and arrows, or the speed of my sword cutting off your neck!"
Ling Heng tilted his head and thought for a moment: "If the princess wants to try, I can accompany you."
Suddenly, the long cry of a falcon passed over everyone's head. The cry that reached the sky struck Li Shuangwan's heart directly, and his heart skipped a beat.
Everybody looked up.
It’s Lan Yue!
How come Gu Xingyan’s Lan Yue appears here!
While everyone was still looking up at the falcon in the sky, the sound of horse hooves was already close at hand.
Almost at the same time, countless sharp arrows rushed towards the archers on the city wall.
Suddenly, like pounding garlic, countless archers behind the parapet fell from the top of the wall one by one.
The square suddenly looked like it was filled with shredded melons.
Immediately afterwards, Lan Yue spread her wings, let out a long roar, swooped down from the sky, and landed steadily on the man's shoulder.
The man was wearing armor and holding the reins tightly with both hands. Ye Yu, who was sitting under him, neighed and slammed down heavily with his front hooves.
Thousands of soldiers immediately poured into the square and surrounded everyone.
Ling Heng shouted angrily: "Gu Xingyan, you are a foreign prince, what is your intention to come and interfere in the affairs of our Northern Jin? And you even brought so many people with you!"
Li Shuangwan frowned slightly, wondering where all these people from Xingyan came from.
Her father left her only five hundred, and he could bring less than three hundred of his own men into Shengjing.
But there are clearly nearly five thousand people here.
wrong!
Li Shuangwan suddenly realized something when he looked at the soldiers' uniforms.
A powerful voice came from above everyone's heads: "Your Majesty, I am too late to save you!"
The young general's voice rang out at the same time: "Your Majesty, we are too late to save you!"
It’s father and brother!
How could it be them!
They have been walking for more than ten days and should have reached the northwest.
"Dad, brother, why are you back again!"
As soon as he said this, Li Shuangwan suddenly remembered that an hour ago, Emperor Jingzhang said: "Zhenguogong and his son are loyal to the emperor and love the country, but they love you, their daughter and sister, more! If anything happens to you, they will rush back even if it's thousands of miles away."
It was Emperor Jingzhang who tricked my father and brother into coming back.
Li Huaiying saw clearly that her daughter was not the one being held hostage, but the knife in her hand was on Ling Heng's neck.
He breathed a long sigh of relief.
He then realized that he and his son had been deceived by the emperor.
But now is not the time to talk about this.
Ling Heng suddenly laughed out loud: "Oh, the Duke of Zhenguo is here too. Are you here to see my father off? Hahahaha, you've come at the right time, at the right time."
Li Shuangwan gnashed his teeth and said, "Ling Heng, have you forgotten that I have you in my hands and a knife on your neck?"
Ling Heng laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes. He turned his head to look at Li Shuangwan, pressed two fingers on the blade of Cang Lei's sword, and pushed the sword on his neck half an inch outwards.
The sharp sword blade cut his fingers, and blood stained his moon-white robe with dark python patterns red.
He didn't care: "Princess, since the archers are gone, let's play a game. Let's see which is faster, your knife slashing my neck, or the dagger in Huang Sheng's hand piercing Ling Yan's son's chest?"
Huang Sheng had a gloomy look on his face. He held the swaddling clothes in one hand and stabbed the dagger into the baby's heart with a ferocious look.
The baby cried heartbreakingly.
The Fifth Prince's wife knelt on the ground with her forehead bruised. Her begging for mercy was intermittent and she cried.
Gu Xingyan sat high on the horse, holding his Changli sword in his hand, and looked up at Li Shuangwan.
The two people's eyes met in the air.
When their eyes met, they understood each other's eyes.
Li Shuangwan moved the sword half an inch away from Ling Heng's neck: "I will let you go, and you must also let the little grandson go."
Ling Heng raised his eyebrows: "Have you thought it through, Princess? Do you want to be my queen?"
Gu Xingyan curled his lips calmly, and Yanyan really understood what he meant.
Li Shuangwan snorted coldly, blinked his eyes slightly, and quickly moved the sword away from his neck. He crouched down and poked his head out from the other side with his left hand raised.
The secret buckle of the gold jade bracelet on his wrist was opened, and a poisonous needle as thin as an ox hair flew towards Huang Sheng's forehead.
At the same time, the dagger in Gu Xingyan's hand quickly passed over the heads of the kneeling people. The blade cut through the air, tearing through the autumn wind, and flew towards Ling Heng like lightning.
With a "plop" sound, it sank into the palm of his left hand.
Boom!
Ling Heng fell to the ground!
Of the dagger, only the handle remained outside, and it sounded like a buzzing in the wind!
The tip of the knife had already sunk into the gap between the white marble tiles.
Ling Heng was nailed to the floor tiles.
Boom!
Huang Sheng fell to the ground!
The thin needle made of black iron was completely inserted into Huang Sheng's head.
