I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Chapter 467: 2 Princes.

A little earlier, about half an hour ago.

Government Hall.

When Zhao Chuxi, dressed in a dragon robe, arrived, as expected, Eunuch Peng read out the imperial edict that Emperor Hongwen was seriously ill and the crown prince would act as regent.

Later, the Imperial Preceptor Zou Xing arrived at the scene, and the Dark Ice Guard's Deputy Commander Shi Lei "exposed" the Prince of Yan's atrocities of slaughtering the city in a frenzy.

The ministers in the palace were discussing the matter.

"Your Highness, this matter is strange and needs to be verified."

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites was the first to speak.

"Master Dong is right. The Crown Prince is pure and filial, and is truly a rare talent. The massacre of the city is too absurd. I hope Your Highness will understand this."

The Minister of the Imperial Household also quickly agreed.

Zhao Chuxi frowned slightly. This was not what he expected.

Logically speaking, the ministers' previous disgust towards Li Mu should have led to indignation at this time. Why is it like this now?

Most people kept their heads down and said nothing.

The Taichang and Taipu, who had always been biased towards the Eastern Palace, were the first to jump out and speak for Li Mu.

His eyes couldn't help but look towards the national teacher in the distance.

"Deputy Commander Shi, do you have any evidence for what you said?" The State Master's expression remained unchanged, and he looked at Shi Lei, the deputy commander of the Dark Ice Guard.

Logically speaking, the Dark Ice Guards are the personal guards of Emperor Hongwen, and what they say is evidence.

But since this matter involved Li Mu, we had to take it seriously.

Therefore, the ministers did not think there was anything wrong with the imperial teacher's questioning.

However, Lu Chongyun immediately realized that something was wrong.

These three people were obviously intentionally misleading. If Li Mu really committed such a serious crime, there would be no need to argue about it anymore.

After all, a massacre in a city could be a big or small incident, so how could it be concealed?

At this moment, a weak voice suddenly came from outside the hall.

"Zou Xing! You want evidence? I am the evidence!"

For a moment, all the ministers felt that the voice was somewhat familiar.

Looking back, he saw another prince staggering into the hall from outside.

He was only wearing a plain white shirt, and his entire body was covered in blood.

There were horrific scars all over the torn clothes, obviously he had been tortured.

"How could this be?"

"Why are there two princes?"

The ministers were suddenly in an uproar, and their eyes wandered between the two Zhao Chuxi.

Zou Xing's eyes narrowed slowly. He had clearly investigated at that time and found that Zhao Chuxi was dead, but the man in front of him...

"My Lords, Imperial Master Zou Xing colluded with foreign tribes, poisoned my father, and imprisoned me. The crown prince on the first list is a fake one, and I am the real crown prince."

Zhao Chuxi finished speaking in one breath, and then it seemed as if he had used up all his strength. His legs went limp and he was about to collapse.

"You're talking nonsense!" Zou Xing snorted coldly, waved his sleeves and a sword energy slashed towards Zhao Chuxi.

No matter why Zhao Chuxi is still alive, it doesn’t matter anymore.

Now that he has Emperor Hongwen's formation talisman in his hand, he is the only emperor in this palace.

At worst, all the court officials in the council hall today can be left here.

At the same time, Lu Chongyun's figure flashed and appeared in front of Zhao Chuxi, who was wearing plain clothes. He held him with one hand to prevent him from falling, and waved his other hand forward to dissolve Zou Xing's sword energy.

Zhao Chuxi's words just explained all the doubts in his heart.

"Congratulations, Zuo Xiang, for entering the Hunyuan realm."

There was a flash of surprise in Zou Xing's eyes, and then a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Lu Chongyun frowned and whispered to Zhao Chuxi beside him,

"Your Highness is still impulsive. You shouldn't come here."

"No! Prime Minister Lu, this is the only chance!" Prince Suyi said quickly, then took out a thumb-sized brown pill from his arms and swallowed it.

Lu Chongyun didn't understand what he meant, but before he could ask, he saw Zhao Chuxi in front of him, his inner energy rapidly rising, with a tendency to break through to the first level.

The next moment, Zhao Chuxi let out a low roar, and his body shot out like a cannonball, rushing straight towards the national teacher.

"Waste is waste. Even after eating my Juyang Pill, you still can't reach the first level."

Zou Xing chuckled. Not to mention that Zhao Chuxi's strength was less than the first level, even if he was at the Heavenly Man Realm, he would not be afraid as he had the formation talisman in his hand.

As if he was intentionally teasing Zhao Chuxi, he flipped his wrist and a white jade array talisman engraved with dragon patterns appeared in his hand.

Then a playful look appeared in his eyes.

"Let His Royal Highness have a taste of this great battle formation."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zou Xing activated the formation talisman, but the expected formation did not start.

At the same time, Zhao Chuxi's figure suddenly changed direction in mid-air and leaped towards the direction of the prince in python robe.

Then he pinched his neck with one hand, touched his chest with the other hand, and took out a jade talisman that was exactly the same as the one in Zou Xing's hand.

"Prime Minister Lu! A quarter of an hour!" Zhao Chuxi, dressed in plain clothes, shouted.

But he saw that Lu Chongyun had already attacked Zou Xing.

When Lu Chongyun saw that Zou Xing was unable to activate the jade talisman in his hand just now, he thought of the connection.

The great formation in the palace has failed!

At the time, this matter was extremely secretive, and less than a dozen people knew about it.

But Lu Chongyun happened to be among them.

With Lu Chongyun's wisdom, he immediately understood Zhao Chuxi's intention.

"Even without the formation talisman, you will still die here!" There was a fierce look in Zou Xing's eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, nearly a hundred figures rushed into the hall.

The red clouds on a black background, with Pojun sword on the waist, are exactly the Dawn Army.

"No one in this palace will be left alive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of "Cang Lang" and the Dawn Army drew their swords at their waists.

Soon, a scream was heard in the hall.

Half of the Dawn Army slashed at the people next to them with their swords.

"What are you doing!" Seeing this, Zou Xing swung out a sword to force Lu Chongyun back, saying angrily.

"Uncle, nephew has already said that people like you will never achieve anything!"

A dark figure from the Dawn Army flashed in front of the court officials, took off the black scarf on his face and said,

"Dark Ice Guards protect you all!"

As soon as these words were spoken, half of the Dawn Army took off the black scarves on their faces, and with a flash of their figures, they surrounded and protected the court officials.

"I should kill you!" Zou Xing's eyes were red with anger, and then he laughed loudly.

"Hahahaha, do you really think these are the only methods I have?"

"Kill them!"

"Sir, I'm sorry!" Shi Lei, who was hiding behind the crowd, suddenly showed a fierce light in his eyes, and the true energy in his body instantly turned into khaki.

At the same time, the roof of the hall suddenly broke.

Hundreds of Yin-Yang School disciples jumped into the hall.

The head of the Canmu Hall and the Wood Element God Ouyang Xun.

The head of Fenyan Hall, Zhu Lie, the God of Fire.

As well as the head of Hou Tu Hall, deputy commander of the Dark Ice Guard, Shi Lei.

Except for Ruoshui Hall, the other four branches of Yin Yang Family are all present.

"Knowing that Commander Shi is from the Yin-Yang School, how could I not be on guard!" Among the court officials, Wei Wei Sun Poju let out a long roar, used his leg as a spear, and kicked Shi Lei away with a sweeping kick.

"Lord Zou! Protect the prince. We old bones don't need anyone to protect us."

Hearing this, Zou Pu raised his eyebrows slightly.

Only then did they realize that these courtiers who looked frail on weekdays were only at the second level at the weakest, and were much more capable than the Dark Ice Guards like them.
