Chapter 371: The real purpose is revealed, and brothers kill each other!
Hearing what Princess Baili said, Yu Rou couldn't help but feel a little startled.
I never expected that this girl didn't even know Li Changsheng's true identity.
"This is a long story. Let him tell you when there's a chance!"
Bai Li wanted to continue asking questions, but at this time he heard an explosion in the front yard.
"How is this going?"
Yu Rou said, "Let's go and take a look, then we'll know what's going on, right?"
……
Two hours ago, in the Zhao family's front hall:
Just after Zhao Kun and Bai Li completed their ceremony and were sent to the bridal chamber.
The second son, Ying Jie, took advantage of the time when Pang Wei was dragged away to drink, and under the influence of alcohol, he came to Ying Qi and said with a smile:
"Brother, I received a secret report about you. I wonder if I should tell you about it?"
Ying Jie's voice was loud, and it immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
Ying Qi knew that the other party had bad intentions, but he was in a difficult situation at this point.
He smiled awkwardly and asked, "Second brother, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
Ying Jie said: "In that case, I have to speak out."
"Brother, this secret report says that in order to gain power, you colluded with the imperial court's lackeys, the Imperial City Bureau, and murdered our father..."
Hearing Ying Jie's words, Ying Qi was stunned.
Although he had long guessed that his younger brother would deal with him.
But I never expected that the other party would be so cruel and ruthless.
He was immediately charged with patricide and backstabbing.
If I take the blame for this, not only will I lose the throne, I'm afraid I won't be able to save my life.
Thinking of this, Ying Qi forced himself to remain calm and angrily asked, "Ying Jie, you need evidence for what you said. When did I collude with the Imperial City Bureau and betray my father?"
Ying Jie said: "It seems that you won't cry until you see the coffin, big brother!"
After saying that, he clapped his hands vigorously.
Zhu Xuan, who was sitting below Ying Qi, slowly stood up.
"I can testify that Crown Prince Ying Qi felt the threat posed by the Second Young Master and wanted to ascend to the throne as soon as possible. So, he conspired with Yan Qing, the undercover agent from the Imperial City Division, to backstab the prince, causing him to fail at the last moment and die in Luodu!"
In addition, Zhu Xuan also listed several other crimes against Ying Qi.
And, most of it is still true.
Even, it was all done by Zhu Xuan himself, and all the specific details were explained clearly.
Zhu Xuan is the confidant of Prince Ying Qi.
Now he took the initiative to stand up and defect, causing an uproar in the audience.
The face of the prince Ying Qi was as pale as frost.
He also never expected that the confidant he relied on on a daily basis would betray him at the critical moment.
From the moment Zhu Xuan defected, he knew he had lost.
What a total loss!
"Zhu Xuan, this prince treats you well on a daily basis. Why did you betray me and join others in framing and slandering me?"
Faced with Ying Qi's extremely angry accusation, Zhu Xuan, feeling a little guilty, didn't dare to look him in the eye.
Seeing that Zhu Xuan's mission had been completed, Ying Jie said with a triumphant smile, "Brother, now the evidence is irrefutable. Do you have anything else to say?"
"Brother, Father always thought so highly of you. But I never expected you to be so cruel and ruthless. For your own selfish reasons, you actually betrayed Father. You are worse than an animal!"
Zhao Wuji then took the initiative to stand up and said, "Yingqi, you have disappointed us so much."
"Now I propose that Ying Qi be deposed as the Crown Prince and that the second son, Ying Jie, take over. Do you agree?"
The Zhao family is the largest family in Zhao County.
He, Zhao Wuji, is a genuine heavenly-level grandmaster and the best master in Zhaojun.
Now he took the initiative to jump out and support the second son Ying Jie.
Even if other officials and generals knew that Prince Yingqi was wrongly accused, they might have been wronged.
But now that he is doomed to fail, it would be considered very conscientious of him not to take advantage of the situation and step forward to step on him again.
Not to mention taking the initiative to stand up and speak for it.
As a result, Prince Yingqi has very few followers except for some die-hard fans.
Ying Jie looked at the vast majority of people and realized that they were very aware of the current situation and decisively stood on his side.
He took it for granted that he had already secured victory.
So, he started shouting triumphantly.
"Yingqi, no matter what, you are still my elder brother. I will give you some dignity. You can commit suicide!"
At this moment, Ying Qi's handsome face suddenly became twisted and hideous because of excessive anger.
"Ying Jie, you have such a cruel heart. In order to seize the throne, you even dare to accuse me of such an unforgivable crime!"
Seeing that he was sure to win, Ying Jie stopped pretending and went straight to the point of revealing his cards.
"Brother, I understand your feelings now. But as the saying goes, the victors are kings and the losers are bandits. Since you've already lost, just accept it obediently and stop resisting in vain, lest you lose even your last bit of dignity!"
"As for my beautiful ladies, don't worry, I will take good care of them for you!"
Although Ying Qi did not marry a wife, he took several beautiful concubines, each of whom was as beautiful as a flower, and Ying Jie had been drooling over them for a long time.
Ying Jie originally planned to take Jiang Xiner in as well.
Who would have thought that this big brother of his would be so incompetent.
The dignified Prince of Zhao could not even compete with that guy [Yan Qing].
At this moment, Pang Wei, who had been sent away, realized that something was wrong and rushed over quickly.
"Second Young Master, isn't this a bit too much?"
When Ying Qi saw Pang Wei coming, he immediately rushed forward like a wronged child who suddenly saw his parents, shouting, "Mr. Pang, save me!"
Pang Wei comforted him, "Don't be afraid, my lord. As long as I'm here, I won't let anyone else hurt you!"
When Zhao Wuji saw Pang Wei stand up and jump up, his old face couldn't help but darken.
"Pang Wei, the sage once said, 'A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.' Now that the situation is clear, why do you insist on going down this path?"
"Ying Qi is the son of King Zhao, and so is Ying Jie. No matter who they pledge allegiance to, they will be worthy of King Zhao. As long as you are willing to submit, the position of military advisor and chief wine officer will remain yours."
Upon hearing this, Ying Jie next to him quickly agreed.
"Mr. Pang, you may not know this, but I have admired you for a long time. As long as you are willing..."
"Shut up, you brat! I won't help you!"
Before Ying Jie could finish his words, Pang Wei started yelling angrily.
Ying Jie's warm welcome was met with a cold shoulder, and his face, which had just been smiling, froze in an instant, looking extremely hideous.
"Old man, I'm speaking to you in a nice way, but don't be so arrogant. If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the wine!"
