Chapter 283 Childish Coup
"Hahaha, Yu Changfeng, the Crown Prince of Beilin, Your Highness, and my eldest brother, you've finally met your match."
The banquet to welcome the envoys was packed with soldiers. The second prince, dressed in armor, stood arrogantly in the center of the stage, looking at Yu Changfeng and his entourage like stray dogs.
If you can't wait for the opportunity to tarnish the purity of the Crown Princess of Nan Yue, just kill the person you hate the most first, and you'll have no trouble finding an opportunity.
I've been planning this for years, and I wish I could tear him to pieces.
Yu Changfeng sat calmly in his seat, letting the weapons be pointed at him.
None of the Southern Moon envoys flinched; they all raised their heads with righteous indignation.
The second prince's eyes twitched as he watched, snatched the soldier's sword, and held it to Yu Changfeng's neck.
"Yu Changfeng, you have lost. Are you feeling terrible about losing to me? Do you wish you could kill me to vent your anger?"
His expression was maniacal. "Hahaha, to become a victim of my blade today is the greatest honor of your life."
After being oppressed for so many years, he dreamed every night of killing his opponent, slitting their throat with a single sword stroke, and feeling a sense of exhilaration!
Yu Changfeng smiled faintly, "After fighting for so many years, you still haven't learned your lesson. You didn't dare to strike with your sword and failed to obtain the imperial edict."
Without an imperial edict, his actions would be illegitimate and would be criticized by the people, and would also be recorded in the annals of history.
When his sore spot was touched, Pingdingtian angrily threw down his sword and tried to strangle him, but stopped because he was afraid.
Yu Changfeng was highly skilled in martial arts. Even if he was given the muscle-softening powder, he might still be killed in return. Thinking of this, he quickly took a few steps back.
"I am the Son of Heaven, ordained by Heaven. I will make you watch your fate closely."
He waved his hand and several guards dragged the King of Beilin forward. The King of Beilin had cloudy eyes, was delirious, and was drooling. He was muttering "bastard son."
The officials of Beilin present were terrified. The second prince was ruthless and even dared to poison the king. If he became the ruler of Beilin, the world would surely be in chaos.
"You unfilial son..."
With his last shred of clarity, the king said, "The Second Prince Pingding Tian intended to rebel..."
"Shut up, you old filthy bastard."
The second prince slapped the king with all his might, twisting his jaw and causing saliva and blood to flow.
"The throne is destined to belong to me, Father. You should die."
The guards received the order and slit the king's throat with a single stroke. The king's bloodshot eyes bulged out, and he clutched his neck, dying with his eyes wide open.
Liu Taiwei, who had been released long ago, looked smug. "Your Highness, this old minister advises you to surrender. This old minister may spare the life of Princess Nanyue."
If it weren't for the Crown Princess of Nanyue, the Liu family wouldn't have been targeted, and they wouldn't have had to plot to seize power so early, thus incurring eternal infamy.
The second prince laughed wildly, signaling his soldiers to attack, while he retreated behind them.
"Hahaha, the king is dead, I am the king of Beilin, Yu Changfeng, today is your death day."
Yu Changfeng watched coldly, his fingertips idly stroking the board, sitting calmly, while the soldiers who should have been moving long ago remained motionless.
Touching its scales will surely lead to death.
Using Nuannuan as a threat is courting death.
The second prince, Pingdingtian, panicked and roared furiously.
"Go quickly and kill him. Cut off Yu Changfeng's head, and I will grant him a title and a high-ranking position."
The soldiers, their eyes gleaming, remained motionless. Yu Changfeng, his gaze dark, slowly rose from his seat and straightened his sleeves.
"The Second Prince and Grand Commandant Liu's faction are plotting a rebellion and have murdered the Emperor. Guards, seize them!"
Each word struck the hearts of the Second Prince and Grand Commandant Liu, filling them with uncontrollable panic.
Impossible. Everything is under their control. Yu Changfeng couldn't possibly know their plans.
The second prince roared in disbelief, "Why? You couldn't possibly know our plans!"
Could it be that someone betrayed him? He had prepared for this day for many years, and was just one step away from ascending the throne, only to be defeated by a piece of trash like Yu Changfeng.
He was not reconciled.
Yu Changfeng slowly approached, as if watching a clown. "If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. Duan Jiuyun, a remnant of the Divine Doctor Valley, died at my hands."
His mind was buzzing and exploding; the Second Prince slumped over like a stray dog.
Duan Jiuyun was an envoy sent by Dongchen, and he knew all their plans. He should have noticed when Duan Jiuyun suddenly disappeared after a few months.
One wrong step leads to another; if those strategists hadn't been whispering in his ear, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
Yu Changfeng ignored him and walked up to Liu Taiwei, grabbing him by the neck.
"Now you realize that there are some people you can't mess with."
A strong feeling of suffocation washed over him. Liu Taiwei's eyes turned bloodshot. He was lifted off the ground and pounded his arms with both hands, struggling with all his might.
Having dominated the court for many years, he was unwilling to die such a humiliating death.
'Click.'
Yu Changfeng increased the force, and Liu Taiwei was thrown to the ground with his limbs dangling.
"Grand Commandant Liu, knowing his crimes were grave, committed suicide out of fear of punishment. The Second Prince was quelled and imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice for execution at a later date."
With the outcome of the two major rebellions in the imperial court decided, the officials of the Northern Lin looked at each other and knelt down in unison.
"The Crown Prince is wise."
A thrilling rebellion was thwarted without a single soldier being killed, a fact that, upon reflection, cannot help but evoke a sense of melancholy.
The courtiers of Nanyue exchanged glances and knelt down, following the courtiers of Beilin.
The official in charge of ceremonies was terrified and covered his trembling hands.
“My life is spared, sir. The Crown Prince of Beilin’s reputation for cruelty is well-deserved.”
The minister ordered the execution without hesitation, leaving no room for negotiation.
The Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial reassured her in a low voice, "No matter how ruthless she is, she is still Her Highness the Crown Princess's person. What is there to be afraid of?"
He was extremely impressed by the Crown Princess's abilities. She could win over the ruthless Crown Prince of Beilin and turn an enemy into an ally. Her skills were truly extraordinary.
Yu Changfeng scanned the crowd, his gaze landing on the two whispering figures. His icy stare sent chills down their spines.
"Tonight we welcome the envoy from Nanyue. We wish to establish an eternal alliance between Beilin and Nanyue. Zhang Zheng of the Honglu Temple of Beilin and Zeng Ji of the Honglu Temple of Nanyue hereby sign this covenant."
Zhang Zheng and Zeng Ji, who were hiding in the corner, quickly bowed.
This was the first time the Crown Prince of Beilin had signed a treaty with another country after suppressing a rebellion, showing that he truly had no scruples whatsoever.
The palace servants of Kunning Palace were filled with anxiety upon hearing the commotion outside the palace walls. They were all on high alert, ready to fight back should anyone break in.
An hour passed and nothing happened; not even a fly flew in.
Shi Nuanyu sat in the chair, carefully examining the purses. She felt that the appearance of the four purses was not accidental, but rather contained a huge secret.
"O soul, come back!" Whose soul do you want to return to?
The Empress admired her from the bottom of her heart when she saw her calm and composed demeanor.
Even she became a little nervous when faced with a coup, but the Crown Princess of Nanyue remained calm and composed.
Feeling a chill run down Shi Nuanyu's spine as she was stared at by an inexplicable gaze, she put away her purse and tentatively asked a question.
"What kind of life would Lady Jiang have envisioned if she hadn't entered the palace?"
Empress Jiang was stumped by the question, and it reminded her of her wish when she was a young boy.
"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by the Crown Princess, but back then I dreamed of becoming a teacher in a water town and living a simple life with the one I love."
Unfortunately, her precious wish could not be fulfilled in this lifetime. With the death of the king and the change of rulers in the north, her ending would not be good.
She could only choose one: confinement, being buried alive with the emperor, or guarding the imperial tomb.
Shi Nuanyi seemed to be deep in thought, "A person always needs something to look forward to while they are alive."
