Chapter 856: Bringing the Sword into the Palace
Cold sweat unconsciously oozing from the forehead of the thousand households. Dozens of guards brought by Chen Kaizhi had already been dismounted, lined up, but the scene still seemed tense. These guards didn't know what was going on, and they were still on guard against the Yulin Imperial Guards.
Qianhu hurriedly said: "Get together!"
He shouted vigorously, saying, "According to the order of the Regent, we must be cautious in the Zhengding Gate!"
The guards who had reacted had no doubts anymore and lined up one after another, then took swords and swords and left.
Chen Kaizhi raised his eyes and stared at the jade palace in the distance, as well as the majestic palace.
He tried his best to straighten his clothes and make himself look more solemn. He then put his hand on the hilt of the sword and walked. Dozens of guards behind him dared not hesitate and followed him one after another.
Under the escort of dozens of people, they reached Fengtian Palace in a vast way.
Here, Mu Xu and Wang An each brought imperial guards, and were tense.
When Wang An saw Chen Kaizhi coming, he seemed to have seen a ghost, and the guards behind him unconsciously moved closer to him.
Mu Xu was overjoyed and rushed forward quickly. Chen Kaizhi exchanged a wink with him.
Chen Kaizhi then pressed his sword and walked up to the jade stairs.
Seeing this, Wang An immediately scolded loudly.
"Chen Kaizhi, how dare you come?"
Chen Kai's face was as deep as water, and the guards behind him all pulled out half of their swords.
When Wang An looked at him seriously, he saw that Chen Kaizhi was stained with blood, and he only looked at him with one... strange, or rather, a pity look.
Wang An couldn't help but feel a little stuttered, and suddenly felt something was wrong. Why didn't Yang Chang bring the crown prince back? At this time, the crown prince should have arrived.
Where did the blood on this body come from?
In his eyes, from anger, he began to become uneasy.
Chen Kaizhi smiled and continued to walk up the stairs. The guard behind him accelerated his pace and followed closely behind him. His boots stepped on the jade steps, and his messy steps came.
Wang An frowned, suddenly no longer had the confidence he had just now. His face was slightly pale and bloodless. He suddenly felt that something was wrong.
When Chen Kaizhi walked in front of him, he stood up and wanted to draw his sword.
Chen Kaizhi's hand was still easily placed on the hilt of the sword.
However, the look that fell towards Wang An still had some kind of ridicule and a strong sense of provocation.
Wang An couldn't help but take a small step back, and doubts flashed through his eyes, but the knife on his waist was still not pulled out.
The guards behind them looked at each other one by one.
Chen Kaizhi gradually walked to Wang An. When an untrusted person entered the area near his body, people would subconsciously feel alert. Wang An looked carefully at Chen Kaizhi's blood clothes and seemed to be covered with minced meat. The strong bloody smell made Wang An feel disgusted.
His eyes began to become erratic.
It seemed... uneasiness had begun to spread throughout his body, and Chen Kaizhi only stared at him, and his eyes suddenly became stern.
murderous look.
It’s not that Wang An has never seen the world, nor has he seen blood. However, at such a close distance, Chen Kaizhi’s eyes were all in his eyes. He saw the depths of the slightly blood-wounded eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly disdainful, with a half-smile, but he still felt a strong murderous aura.
Wang An's uneasiness was intensifying, and he even felt a little panicked, and his whole body was trembling faintly.
The guards behind him looked at Wang An one by one, and did not dare to show up.
Chen Kaizhi suddenly smiled and smiled heartily: "Your name is Wang An?"
It would be fine if he didn't ask, but this opening completely made Wang An's psychological defense line miss. He didn't know whether he should answer, but his eyes changed from staring to staring, with a strong sense of oppression.
Wang An had already sweated coldly when he pressed the knife's hand. He felt as if he was soaked in water. He had never encountered such a terrifying scene in his life.
"Hmm?" Chen Kaizhi made a nasal sound from his nose. This was the meaning of a rebuttal, as if he was saying, "Why, you didn't reply to my words? Are you looking for death?"
Buzz...
Wang An's mind was already buzzing. He didn't dare to draw the sword anymore, and even his hands began to become at a loss. He felt afraid of offending the person in front of him. So he hurriedly lowered his hand holding the sword, his body suddenly became soft, and he bowed slightly: "I am humble Wang An, I have seen Your Highness."
Chen Kaizhi looked kind and smiled at him. He didn't seem to be annoyed, but stretched out his hand and gently put it on Wang An's shoulder.
"It's a very good name."
He teased, gently patted Wang An's shoulder with his hand, patted him a few times, and then stopped him on Wang An's shoulder.
Wang An seemed to be electrocuted, as if his hand was just a knife. He subconsciously wanted to dodge, but found that he had no courage to dodge at all. Chen Kaizhi smiled like a spring breeze.
"Very good. I should go to the palace to meet you. Does Deputy General Wang have any objections?"
Chen Kaizhi could clearly feel that he put his hands on his shoulders, and Wang An's shoulders were trembling slightly.
Wang An suddenly fell to the ground completely, taking advantage of the situation, Chen Kaizhi's hand was hanging in the air, but hurriedly said: "I'm welcome to you, Your Highness, Your Highness...please...please..."
His face had already pale. Perhaps tomorrow would come, he would regret his decision. But now, he only felt that he was oppressed and could not breathe. He no longer had the courage to fight Chen Kaizhi. He was so scared that he was deeply afraid. At this moment, he just wanted to bow down and save his life.
Chen Kaizhi smiled and said lightly: "Very good, General is the general. General is the Yulin Imperial Guard. He should do his duty and take your soldiers to work with Governor Mu, and guard them strictly here!"
"See the order!" Wang An did not dare to look up and buried his head deeply.
His eyes only saw Chen Kaizhi's feet, and he clearly saw that there was still undry blood dripping down his trouser legs. He hurriedly closed his eyes and his head hung tightly, but it seemed that a knife was hanging on the back of his exposed neck.
But at this time, the owner of the trouser legs moved, which made Wang An finally breathe a sigh of relief, feeling like he had a life after a disaster.
Chen Kaizhi looked ahead, ignored the guards on both sides, walked slowly and entered Fengtian Hall.
……………………
In the hall, the officials felt miserable and all remained silent.
The Empress Dowager obviously was not in a hurry to say anything. She was waiting. When the Crown Prince arrived here and revealed the truth, no one would have immediate worries. The Empress Dowager's painstaking efforts for more than ten years of business and planning were foolproof. At this time, she felt happy. No matter what, she always had a reserve plan and could always grasp the overall situation.
As for the people in the hall... they were just chess pieces. In the eyes of the Empress Dowager, they were just people at the mercy of others. Nothing could happen, mainly because they did not dare to make trouble.
So she was very satisfied, sat upright, looked around everyone, and smiled slightly with a few smiles on the corners of her mouth.
When something happens outside.
The Empress Dowager cheered up. Although she was old, she was not as dazzling as ever.
At this time, someone slowly walked into the hall. The Empress Dowager smiled and was about to say something, but after a closer look, a familiar face appeared in front of her.
The smile on the Empress Dowager's face froze...
The person she was waiting for did not come, but the person she should not come, was here.
Chen Kaizhi pressed the hilt of the sword and walked to the hall step by step. The undried blood was still slowly falling to the ground. The place where he stepped by was covered with blood, and the hall was filled with blood for a moment.
The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes and stared at him.
I saw Chen Kai's expressionless face, and the Empress Dowager also had no expressionless face.
The two groups of ministers were immediately in an uproar.
Everyone looked at Chen Kaizhi in surprise.
Even Empress Dowager Mu was so shocked that she stood up.
Chen Kaizhi only had the Empress Dowager in his eyes. He raised his eyes and stared at the Empress Dowager and said, "I'm here..."
Three words.
No one has ever seen the Empress.
This minister came, but it seemed like a pun.
The Empress Dowager's face turned pale and bit her lip lightly without saying a word.
But soon she calmed down and she forced a smile to Chen Kaizhi.
"King Beijing, today is a great homage. Why did you come late? In the future, you are not allowed to do this. You are just here. Today, the crown prince enters the palace and you should meet him."
Chen Kaizhi smiled slightly and said, "There is no crown prince."
Five words.
He no longer respected, but stood proudly. Although the Empress Dowager sat next to the imperial palace, more than a dozen steps higher than Chen Kaizhi's place, Chen Kaizhi looked very tall.
The Empress Dowager's face changed. She seemed to feel something different and said sternly: "Why is there no crown prince?"
Chen Kai's face was as deep as water, and he said to her word by word: "The crown prince that the Empress said is simply false. Even if there is, the crown prince that the Empress called him is dead."
Dead...
There was an uproar in the hall again, with countless people whispering, some worried, some fearful, and some eyebrows slightly surprised.
The Empress Dowager's eyes sank, "How can you be sure?"
"Because..." Chen Kaizhi looked faint, as if he was telling the common trivial matters in a beautiful way: "Because this person has been killed by his minister, his corpse is in Zhengding Gate."
Everyone took a breath.
What a bold, so bold.
If this person is really the crown prince and the late emperor, then what Chen Kai did can be regarded as a crime of death.
But Chen Kaizhi's face was very relaxed, and his hand was on the hilt of the sword, as if he was invincible as long as there was a sword in his hand.
The Empress Dowager's shoulder trembled slightly, and Leng Feng flashed through her eyes, without any shock or pain, but a sneer.
The person who was killed was essentially just a chess piece. How could it affect her mood if a chess piece dies?
And now... there seems to be another problem.
Although the "Crown Prince" is gone, Chen Kaizhi's killing into the palace and killing the "Crown Prince" is still a death sentence. He really committed suicide and thought that he could win this way, but he still had to die. What's the difference?
