C349 This Subject's Heart Was Extinguished

Wan Hao stood up and withdrew the surrounding area. He waved his hand. He turned into a bolt of lightning and quickly left the cave. Without the protection of the area, the cave could not withstand the power of Wan Hao's attack. In an instant, it collapsed.

After Wan Hao fused with the Dao Combining Flower, the Yuan Qi around his body became richer and richer. His body was emitting a fragrance like orchids. That was the manifestation of his body's thorough constitution and becoming a saint.

"Now, it's time to deal with the Luoyang Sect. I heard that there's a cave in the Luoyang Sect. Looks like I have to go and take a look. It might be of great use!" Wan Hao murmured to himself while floating in the air. Then, he turned into a ray of light. He disappeared into the sky.

At the same time, in Luoyang, the capital city of Tang Country, Su Lia was still trapped in a small house in the suburbs.

A hundred miles away in Luoyang's King Tang Palace, a small carriage was slowly heading towards Weiyang Palace.

In the main hall, King Tang and Lee Heng's brows were deeply furrowed as they listened to the news from the front lines.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it's... it's not good! Conquering the south... Conquering South's army has rebelled!"

An assistant minister hurriedly ran into the main hall. He did not care about his image as he knelt in front of Lee Heng and said in a panic.

"What!? What did you say?!" Lee Heng had already been thinking about all kinds of things, but this bad news only made things worse!

"Your Majesty, the south conquering army... is rebelling!" The assistant minister trembled and knelt down as he spoke.

"Buzz!"

Lee Heng's strength seemed to have been drained in an instant as he powerlessly collapsed onto the dragon throne.

"Why? He wanted to kill the Crown Prince, and Zhen killed him. Why did he want to rebel against Zhen?" Lee Heng said angrily.

"Your Majesty, Su Lia has long wanted to rebel. If it wasn't for Your Majesty's benevolence, what?! Who would have thought that Su Lia wouldn't consider the kindness of the Saint, and would actually start a rebellion? This subject is willing to lead the army and pacify the rebellion!" A general who had been at odds with Su Lia walked out and asked for his orders.

"Good, my brother is truly a pillar of the country! I will have to trouble you for this trip!" Lee Heng glanced at his younger brother, Li Ba, and said slowly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Southern General Su Wu said that as long as Your Majesty lets his handsome father go, they will immediately withdraw their troops..." The assistant minister came back to his senses and quickly stopped him.

"What? You're saying that Su Lia hasn't returned yet? The one who rebelled isn't Su Lia? " This time, Lee Heng understood.

"Yes, Your Majesty. In the name of Su Lia's son, Su Lin, Su Wu and the others, they asked Your Majesty to release his handsome father who was imprisoned." The assistant minister slowed down and said.

"What happened?" the assistant minister asked. Lee Heng stared at the assistant minister and asked.

"Royal Father, you have to make the decision for your son. It has been hard on your son these days!" Before Lee Heng could finish his words, he heard the voice of Crown Prince Lee Zhi outside the hall.

At this moment, not to mention the group of officials, even King Tang and Lee Heng found it unbelievable!

They had obviously been beheaded, how could they appear here again?

"How dare you! Who are you?! How dare you pretend to be the Crown Prince!" A guard berated.

"Bastard, you've blinded your dog eyes. Open your eyes wide and see who this prince is!" Ever since Lee Zhi was rescued, his journey had been full of ups and downs. Now that he had returned to the imperial palace, he naturally felt both sadness and joy. He felt that he had been saved. When faced with the doubts of the imperial guards, he directly rebuked them without giving them any face.

"How dare you! You dare to be so impudent in front of the Emperor! Who exactly are you! Quickly say it!" The guard was furious after being scolded by Lee Zhi. He immediately swung his scabbard at Lee Zhi's legs.

Lee Zhi was usually pampered in the Imperial Palace, so how could he withstand a blow from the imperial bodyguard? Immediately, intense pain spread from his knees to his entire body. He bent his legs and knelt on the ground.

"Royal Father, this child is your child. How can you not recognize him?" Lee Zhi cried as he looked at King Tang, Lee Heng, who was standing in the main hall.

"You..."

Lee Zhi was Lee Heng's favorite son. Now that he had appeared, how could he not recognize him? Judging from his expression, he had recognized him the moment he appeared. But now, he couldn't recognize him. Once he did, all the officials would criticize him!

"Royal Father, I knew Royal Father wouldn't bear to see me die. That's why I spent so much effort to save my son. You have no idea, Royal Father. I have suffered a lot during these days." After saying that, Lee Zhi crawled towards Lee Heng.

"Emperor, regarding this matter, please give us an explanation."

On the side, when Prime Minister Fang sees this, he immediately recalls something and looks at Lee Heng with a gloomy face.

When Lee Heng saw Fang Xuanling's expression, he immediately knew that Fang Xuanling was probably suspecting him. Immediately, he knitted his brows and was thinking of a solution.

"Prime Minister Fang! Explain what? Is this the world of your Fang family or my Li family? You have to know, right? Bengong will tell you! It was Royal Father who designed this scheme, pretending to kill Bengong in front of Su Lia. After calming the morale of the army, he would then secretly ask the supervising officer to save Bengong. What? Prime Minister Fang, do you have any objections? " Lee Zhi glared at Fang Xuanling furiously. At this moment, the imposing manner of the Crown Prince was revealed without a doubt.

"Hua!"

As soon as Lee Zhi's words came out, the entire crowd went into an uproar. They had never thought that... The wise King Tang Lee Heng would actually treat all of the officials as fools and deceive them for the sake of a private life. The Crown Prince, who did not want to advance, had killed a loyal subject, but now, he was still clamoring here. He simply did not put all the officials in his eyes. He treated them like fools and played with them.

"You..." Fang Xuanling was at a loss for words for a moment because of Lee Zhi's anger. He had nothing to say!

"Enough! Lee Zhi, shut up! "Lee Heng had suppressed the anger in his heart to a certain extent. When he heard Lee Zhi's words, he knew even more. He could not let him continue. If this continued... All the officials' hearts would be in turmoil!

Lee Heng was cursing in his heart. What sins had he committed? Why did he raise such a foolish son?

However, Lee Heng did not know that his angry scolding had confirmed Lee Zhi's identity. Those officials who could have exonerated him could not find a reason now!

Lee Heng had deceived the soldiers for Lee Zhi. Even if it was not true, it was true now!

"Emperor! Are you stupid!?"

Prime Minister Wei could not bear to watch any longer and walked out to scold Lee Heng.

" Chenchen received the graciousness of the previous emperor and assisted Your Majesty, but the Emperor, what you are doing now has really disappointed everyone! The hearts of our Great Tang's tens of thousands of soldiers! " Wei Sheng cursed.

"Prime Minister Wei, how dare you! How dare you speak to me, Royal Father!" When Lee Zhi saw that Wei Lan was scolding him, he stood up and was about to slap Wei Lan.

"Pa!"

Lee Zhi's slap was extremely loud. The entire hall was echoing. The surroundings were unusually quiet. No one made a sound. They were all quietly watching the development of the situation.
