Chapter 120
Since Li Yu had decided to help Madam Liang, he didn’t want Madam Liang to make an extra trip. He immediately pulled King Jing along and went back to request an audience with the Emperor.
When the Emperor learned that Li Yu wanted to help Madam Liang, he was very surprised. But when he thought about how Princess Jing taught his sons, he felt that Li Yu was a kind-hearted person.
“That’s what he thinks. What about you?” The Emperor asked King Jing. He also wanted to know what King Jing thought.
King Jing nodded, showing his support for Li Yu.
The Emperor was now happy to give face to King Jing’s husband, so he said, “Since that’s the case, I will allow it.”
The Emperor wanted to remind him of something, but after thinking about it, he closed his mouth.
Li Yu quickly brought the news to Madam Liang. Madam Liang was afraid that the imperial bodyguards would stop her, so she begged Li Yu to accompany her. Li Yu hesitated for a moment. He wanted to help Buddha to the West. After obtaining King Jing’s approval, he would accompany Madam Liang to the tent where the Sixth Prince was being held.
It was absolutely impossible to take another step forward. Li Yu also had to be careful, and he wasn’t the one who wanted to visit the Sixth Prince.
Madam Liang thanked him profusely and entered the tent.
When she saw Mu Tianxiao covered in dirt and shackled hands and feet, Madam Liang’s red and swollen eyes couldn’t help but shed tears.
“Suyun, why are you here?” Mu Tianxiao was overjoyed to see his wife. The imperial bodyguards in charge of watching over him didn’t allow him to see anyone. Why was Madam Liang here? Did this mean that the Emperor had loosened up?
“Did Imperial Father let you come? Has he forgiven me? “Mu Tianxiao asked anxiously.
“It was me. I went to ask King Jing and Princess Jing for help. Imperial Father only showed mercy.” Madam Liang was afraid that the Sixth Prince would be unhappy, so she explained timidly.
“King Jing again?” When Mu Tianxiao heard the name King Jing, his expression changed. He impatiently pushed away his wife’s hand. “You could’ve asked anyone, why did you have to ask him? Don’t you know that he was the one who harmed me?! ”
As for his failure, the Sixth Prince pondered over it and felt that he had been tricked by King Jing. The Emperor had targeted him because he believed King Jing’s slanderous words. The Sixth Prince had pushed all the blame to King Jing.
Liang shi wiped away her tears, not knowing how to respond. Should she tell the Sixth Prince that there was no one else willing to help them now?
Mu Tianxiao could no longer pretend to be a prisoner. He cursed King Jing’s family, including King Jing’s young son. He cursed them as harshly as he could.
After he had scolded enough, he seemed to finally remember something. He turned his head to look at Liang shi, and his tone became gentle again.
“Suyun, don’t cry.” He reached out to wipe away Liang shi’s tears and expectantly said: “Since you’ve come, help me beg Father Emperor, alright? Seeing that you have a child in your belly, he will definitely let me out. I promise I will treat you well in the future.”
Liang shi listened to his constant promises, but the fake smile on his face didn’t have the slightest bit of warmth. She felt a stab of pain in her heart. How could she have been deceived by the Sixth Prince in the past?
This husband who always looked so gentle clearly only had her in his heart.
Li Yu and King Jing stood outside the tent. They also heard the Sixth Prince’s curses from inside.
King Jing originally didn’t care that he was being scolded, but the Sixth Prince actually scolded Xiaoyu and his child as well. King Jing’s expression darkened, and he clenched his sharp sword.
“Tianchi, don’t!” Li Yu quickly grabbed King Jing’s arm.
When he heard the Sixth Prince scold his son, Li Yu wanted nothing more than to smash the Sixth Prince’s dog head. But King Jing was about to teach the Sixth Prince a lesson, so he couldn’t do that.
Mu Tianxiao was already the Emperor’s prisoner. It wasn’t appropriate to beat him up in public. With King Jing’s current status, he could use some tricks, but there was no need for him to do it himself. It would only make the Emperor think too much.
Li Yu whispered a few ideas to King Jing to make the Sixth Prince suffer. After listening, King Jing looked at Li Yu, who had just softened his heart and helped Liang shi, and was somewhat speechless.
Li Yu mischievously stuck out his tongue: “That’s that. Liang shi is pitiful, but the Sixth Prince has done so many evil things. I won’t forgive the Sixth Prince just because of that.”
Xiaoyu was always reasonable. King Jing smiled and rubbed his head. He was persuaded just like that.
The Sixth Prince continued to spit out filthy words. The two of them looked at each other and pretended not to hear him for the time being.
Liang shi came to see the Sixth Prince. In addition to wanting to know the Sixth Prince’s situation, she also hoped that the Sixth Prince could completely turn over a new leaf and behave himself.
The Sixth Prince wanted to fight for the position of crown prince. As the person who slept next to him, Liang shi could more or less see it. In the past, Liang shi thought that her husband had his own ideas. As a wife, she really couldn’t interfere. Moreover, which woman wouldn’t fantasize about the opportunity to take a step forward?
Therefore, although Liang shi didn’t participate, she didn’t stop it. Now, Liang shi regretted it. She regretted that she had been possessed. How good would it have been if she had advised the Sixth Prince to be down-to-earth?
She didn’t dare to ask for anything else. She only wanted her husband and child to be safe and sound.
Liang shi earnestly persuaded him. The Sixth Prince opened his eyes wide in disbelief. It was fine if Liang shi didn’t want to help him as he asked, but why did she turn around and blame him?
Wasn’t the title of Imperial Concubine because of him? If he was captured by the Emperor, what benefit would Liang shi get?
The Sixth Prince’s heart was filled with resentment. In addition, he had other plans. He smiled coldly and said to Liang shi, “What you said makes sense … Suyun, come here. I have a secret to tell you.”
Liang shi wasn’t on guard against Mu Tianxiao. As soon as he called her, she went over. However, Mu Tianxiao suddenly wrapped a shackle around her neck.
“Tianxiao, what are you doing!” Liang shi was shocked and scared. She repeatedly shouted.
“Don’t move.” Mu Tianxiao locked her neck and coldly shouted outside the tent, “Guards, I want to see the Emperor. Otherwise — — I’ll kill her!”
I’ll kill her!
With this sentence, the Sixth Prince and Liang shi’s relationship as husband and wife was completely ruined.
Liang shi looked at Mu Tianxiao with tears in her eyes. She felt that her heart was being strangled bit by bit.
King Jing and Li Yu were outside. When they heard the sudden change, they rushed in with the imperial bodyguards.
Seeing the Sixth Prince holding the Sixth Prince’s wife hostage, Li Yu didn’t know what to say.
The Sixth Prince’s eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was like a demon’s. He kept shouting that he wanted to see the Emperor. The imperial bodyguards had already rushed to report.
Li Yu watched Liang shi struggle in pain. He wanted to help her, but he was afraid that the Sixth Prince would become ruthless and really hurt Liang shi.
“Mu Tianxiao, are you still human? She’s your wife, and she’s pregnant with your child!”
Li Yu cried out for Liang shi. Why was it that he always encountered things that were more outrageous than novels?
The Sixth Prince snorted a few times, and tears seemed to flash in the corners of his eyes.
“I can’t even protect myself. Why would I want a wife and child?” The Sixth Prince said indifferently.
The Emperor quickly arrived. Faced with the Sixth Prince’s threat, the Emperor was furious.
“Mu Tianxiao, are you crazy? Quickly let go of Liang shi! “the Emperor shouted.
“Imperial Father! You’re here. I beg you to listen to this son’s last words. This son remembered that this son didn’t do anything wrong. This son was framed by King Jing! Imperial Father, you don’t know how scheming he is. Everything was planned by him! ”
Mu Tianxiao tried his best to defend himself. King Jing listened on the side and didn’t move. After hearing this, the Emperor shook his head in disappointment.
“Enough, Tianxiao. Wasn’t it your idea to frame Concubine Lu? Weren’t you the one who roped in Imperial Physician Pan? Weren’t you the one who sent people to sneak into King Jing’s residence to take Dabao’s blood? Did King Jing force you to do all of this? ”
Mu Tianxiao was startled. “Imperial Father …”
Why did the Emperor even know that he sent people to take the blood?
In an instant, it was as if he was enlightened. Mu Tianxiao figured everything out. It turned out that King Jing had already guessed what he was going to do from that moment on.
How ridiculous. Just when he thought that he had the other party’s weakness, the other party was already waiting for him to walk right into the trap.
“Imperial Father, it was really King Jing who schemed against me!” Mu Tianxiao angrily wanted to expose King Jing.
“Enough.” The Emperor coldly interrupted him. “Why should I believe a person who won’t even let his wife and child off, but not King Jing?”
“Tianxiao, there’s a saying that you often use to escape my punishment. Now, I’ll give it back to you.”
“All of this is just your ‘one-sided story’.”
“Imperial Father …”
Mu Tianxiao was startled. Unexpectedly, he laughed out loud, as if the Emperor was telling a joke. After laughing, he gnashed his teeth.
“Bah, you’re just biased towards King Jing. You’ve never believed me!”
Sixth Prince spat. Like a trapped beast, he stared fixedly at King Jing and the Emperor.
The imperial bodyguard circled behind him and chopped at the back of Sixth Prince’s neck with his hand.
At the same time, Sixth Prince shouted in a hoarse voice, “Hurry up and do it!”
Li Yu:!!!
From Mu Tianxiao’s sudden words, Li Yu realized that there were Sixth Prince’s spies around them. Someone took advantage of the chaos to stab the Emperor with a dagger. This was Sixth Prince’s final arrangement.
When necessary, it would be used to strike a crazy blow against the person he hated.
Mu Tianxiao hated his birth and hated King Jing, who had taken everything away from him. However, what he hated the most was his father, who had never liked him. Even though he had tried his best to please his father, he still did not take him seriously.
He knew that the Emperor wouldn’t kill him, but he couldn’t stand it and become invisible again.
At this moment, Li Yu was the closest to the Emperor. He subconsciously pushed the Emperor away, but he didn’t have time to dodge and accidentally exposed himself to the dagger.
Xiaoyu –!
King Jing let out a thousand shouts in his chest and anxiously rushed over with his sword.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Li Yu closed his eyes in fear.
His ears were filled with the whistling of the wind, as well as all kinds of messy voices.
He waited for a while, but he didn’t feel any pain.
Li Yu opened his eyes again. There was a palace servant standing in front of him with a dagger in his hand. The tip of the dagger was only a finger away from him.
With a crash, the dagger fell to the ground.
King Jing’s sword had pierced through the palace servant’s chest from behind.
King Jing had saved him!
“Tianchi, I’m fine!” Li Yu shouted emotionally.
King Jing coldly pulled out his sword, kicked the palace servant to the side, and hugged Li Yu, who had rushed over.
Sixth Prince was pressed to the ground by the imperial bodyguards and couldn’t move. Madam Liang had been rescued and was watching everything in horror from the side.
Unexpectedly, he hadn’t even touched the Emperor’s dragon robe in the end. Sixth Prince was in extreme despair.
Suddenly, he saw a beauty in palace attire in the crowd. This person’s face was beautiful, like a celestial in a painting. Her delicate eyebrows were indifferent as she quietly watched everything.
Mu Tianxiao greedily looked at this person. After thinking for a while, he remembered who this person was.
This was the Emperor’s new favorite, Noble Lady Chu. A chess piece that he had personally sent to the Emperor’s bed. She was his person!
Yu ‘er, help me …
Mu Tianxiao lay on the ground and begged silently.
He still had hope. Chu Yanyu was his last hope now.
Chu Yanyu seemed to have seen him as well. He smiled at him from afar, as gentle as he had been to him when he was young. Then, carrying all of his hopes, he turned and left without any reluctance.
It was a false alarm. The Emperor wasn’t injured, but he was no longer polite to the Sixth Prince, who dared to assassinate him.
Mu Tianxiao muttered, “Kill me,” as he was tied up and dragged away by the imperial bodyguards.
Madam Liang knelt on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.
“Tianchi!” Li Yu hugged King Jing tightly. He was really scared just now.
At that time, he thought of the Emperor’s grandfather, who was affectionate to the children. The Emperor was also King Jing’s father.
The Sixth Prince’s assassination was too sudden. Other than saving a life, he didn’t have time to think of anything else.
King Jing didn’t blame Li Yu for his recklessness. Instead, he hugged him and rubbed his head briefly.
Li Yu keenly noticed that King Jing’s complexion wasn’t right.
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Li Yu asked with concern.
King Jing seemed to really be feeling unwell. He gently let go of Li Yu and pressed one hand to his chest.
Li Yu had never seen him gasp for breath so violently. He suddenly covered his mouth and coughed a few times. A trace of black blood seeped out between his fingers.
“Tianchi, what’s wrong with you!”
