C195 Pushing the House

The long night was suddenly disturbed by the noise that broke the silence. Fire dragons pierced through the dark Imperial Palace.

Everyone in the palace was awakened by the sudden sound of killing. Although they did not know what had happened, their instincts urged them to start running aimlessly. Suddenly, the imperial palace became chaotic.

Due to Sima Ling's interference in the dark, the troops he led quickly broke through the layers of defensive lines set up by the Left General in the Palace and directly slaughtered their way to the Emperor's chambers.

When Sima Ling opened the door, he realized that the Emperor did not run away but calmly sat on the throne.

"The Emperor knows that he is in a disadvantageous position but he is still able to have such courage. This lowly subject admires!"

The army led by Sima Ling immediately broke through the door and surrounded the entire bedchamber.

"Zhen treats you well and you actually have such evil intentions? Who is the person behind you?"

After Sima Ling heard this, he laughed loudly. "If that's the case, I'll let you die with an understanding!" Sima Ling waved his hand and a person slowly walked out from behind the army. It was the Emperor's uncle, Jiang Cong.

When the Emperor saw Jiang Cong, his pupils seemed to shrink but he had a clear understanding of the situation.

Jiang Cong was quite surprised by the Emperor's attitude. "You don't seem surprised at all?"

"Zhen had long known that you are harboring evil intentions. It is just that I did not expect that you would be so bold and dare to take a portrait of this position? By doing so, is it right for the Empress to plan for the Jiang family?"

"Hahaha!" Jiang Cong suddenly laughed wildly, "Planning for the Jiang family? At most, it's just the position of the High Duke. How can you give the Jiang family the glory?" Jiang Cong retracted his smile, "If that's the case, it's fine. But you and Duan Shuang... They are constantly reducing the status of our Jiang family in the court. How can I swallow this insult? I will naturally get rid of those who are an eyesore! "

The Emperor was shocked," Could it be that the matter of Duan Shuang plotting a rebellion was framed by you? "

" Emperor, it's too late to understand now! It was you who personally removed your shield. You can't blame me for pulling you down from the position of supreme being!"

"Jiang Cong, if you bow your head and plead guilty now, I can still leave your corpse intact on account of your mother's consideration."

"Are you still so confident at this point?" Jiang Cong pointed at the army behind him. "What right do you have to fight me now?"

The Emperor slammed heavily on the dragon throne and many Imperial Palace Guards immediately rushed out from behind the Emperor to protect the Emperor.

Seeing this, Sima Ling immediately sneers, "Emperor, I'm afraid that there are only these people left, right?"

"Even if you succeed tonight and wait for the people from the Southern Land to arrive, your outcome will only be death!"

"Southern Land?" Sima Ling burst into laughter again, "At this moment, I'm afraid that they will have to take care of themselves too much, right? Emperor, you probably do not know, other than the riots that happened in Great Yan, Qi Country was not surprised either! It's all thanks to Jiang Cong's cooperation from the inside. Otherwise, how could Qi Country and Wei Yuan eat the meat of Great Yan so easily?"

When Sima Ling said this, he was full of confidence, as if he had accomplished a great deed.

"Isn't it too early to say this?"

A vigorous and powerful voice penetrated the entire hall.

When the Emperor heard this voice, he immediately revealed a satisfied smile.

Sima Ling and Jiang Cong's eyes widened and their pupils dilated. They looked at each other in disbelief.

As soon as the voice faded, a group of soldiers wearing iron masks surrounded Sima Ling and Jiang Cong's troops and immediately showed off their shiny weapons.

Under the protection of these iron masked soldiers, a tall and familiar figure in armor appeared in front of them.

"Duan Shuang! You actually did not die!" Sima Ling's eyes popped out in surprise.

Duan Shuang coldly raised the corner of his mouth, "Evil has not been eliminated, how can I die?"

Three days ago, in a hidden house.

Jiegeng opened her eyes in a daze, and instantly felt the light piercing her eyes.

"Is this the Underworld?" Jiegeng suddenly understood.

"If the Underworld is like this, I'm afraid there won't be so many people in the world who are afraid of death." Bai Ye rolled his eyes at her without giving her any face.

"Big brother? Why are you here? Are you dead too?"

Bai Ye immediately knocked Jiegeng's head. "You're still awake?"

Jiegeng rubbed her eyes. Only then did she feel that everything around her was so real. It was not a fantasy. The evening sun shone into the house, appearing so quiet and peaceful. This sect scene, no matter what, could not be the underworld.

"I'm not dead?"

"Otherwise, could it be that I'm talking to a ghost?" Bai Ye was even more ruthless this time. He pointed his finger at Jiegeng's head and pushed her back.

Jiegeng felt the pain and only then did she believe it.

"Where is Brother Sheng? Where is he?"

Bai Ye pointed to the opposite side and saw a figure lying on top of it.

Jiegeng immediately got up. She did not even have time to put on her shoes before rushing to the opposite side.

Bai Ye, who was at the side, could not help frowning, "Be more reserved!"

Jiegeng did not care so much. When she saw that Duan Shuang was also safe and sound, she heaved a sigh of relief.

"What exactly is going on?" Jiegeng turned her head and looked at Bai Ye in puzzlement. "Didn't Brother Yun and I drink the poisonous wine?"

"Fake death medicine." Bai Ye said frankly, "My medical skills are not that superb. I was able to save the person who drank the poisonous wine."

Jiegeng searched carefully in her mind, but she did not have any impression of a fake death medicine. "It can create fake signs of death in an instant and wake up so quickly. What kind of medicine is this? There's no such record in 'Bai's Medical Scripture'?"

" Of course not! " Bai Ye was slightly pleased with himself, "This is a newly developed version of mine."

Jiegeng listened and nodded in admiration. No wonder Grandfather chose him as his successor. This kind of comprehension ability, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up to it even after decades, right?

"Then when will Big Brother Yun wake up?" Jiegeng looked at Duan Shuang from time to time, and was extremely worried about the unconscious Duan Shuang.

Bai Ye looked at the time and said casually, "Soon. I don't know the details."

Jiegeng immediately looked at him with disdain. She had praised him just now!

Not long after, Duan Shuang gradually woke up.

After Duan Shuang woke up, he first looked at Bai Ye and the corner of his mouth rose, "Looks like the plan succeeded."

Bai Ye also nodded.

"What do you mean?" Jiegeng was confused.

"The matter of him being sent to prison for injustice is just a cover. It was to lure out those people with ulterior motives, so that they could jump into the trap they had set up themselves. The only variable is you! " Bai Ye shook his head, but he could not blame this girl.

Jiegeng was stunned, "You guys better make it clear to me!"

"It is Duan Shuang. From the moment his military power was reduced until now, he pretended to be dead. It was all planned out long ago. Initially, I was confident that I could use this fake death medicine on Duan Shuang alone. Who would have thought that a girl like you would make such a decision on your own. Do you know how much we choked on it back then? "

Jiegeng immediately turned her head and stared at Duan Shuang angrily.
