Western Palace.
Tianwu Hall.
"Queen."
The Royal Forest Army and the Golden Snake Guards all stared blankly at the top of the Tianwu Palace.
Si Minglan inserted his hands into Lin Yuan's chest, and Wu Tai's sword penetrated Lin Yuan's heart from behind.
Lin Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood, which fell on the red phoenix robe, making it even more gorgeous and bright red.
She grabbed Si Minglan's hand and said in a hoarse voice, "I never thought about killing Si Yuanwu."
Si Minglan sneered: "It doesn't matter anymore, you are going to die."
"Yiren, Zhou Lang"
Lin Yuan murmured two names, and his eyes suddenly shone brightly. The phoenix robe swelled up, and his spiritual power surged, forcing Si Minglan and Wu Tai away.
Si Minglan was already seriously injured, but now he was hit by the spiritual power from the phoenix robe, and his face became even paler.
Wu Tai spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground screaming.
"This phoenix robe is actually a magic weapon?! Wu Tai's sword stab is off by two inches!"
Si Minglan's pupils shrank, and she saw Lin Yuan, who had taken off his phoenix robe, also had the phoenix crown falling off his head. His hair was covered with black hair, and he was wearing a white skirt next to his body.
That graceful and plump figure appeared in front of Wu Tai, and the Qingfeng sword stabbed Wu Tai!
"Mother, don't!"
Wu Tai screamed loudly, Lin Yuan's sword sharpened in his hand, but failed to stab him in the end.
At this time, Si Minglan rushed forward again. Lin Yuan gritted his teeth and threw the Qingfeng Sword. The three-foot Qingfeng sword suddenly exploded in the air, and countless fragments turned into sharp lights and exploded in all directions!
Si Minglan stopped quickly, his hands glowing red, blocking the incoming debris.
The surrounding archers screamed and fell to the ground.
When he raised his head again, Lin Yuan's figure had already flown away.
"Queen. Ran away?"
"The emperor is dead, the second prince committed regicide, and the queen was deposed. What should the Western Dynasty do now?"
The Royal Forest Army and the Golden Snake Guards looked at each other, losing their backbone for a moment.
Si Minglan stood up slowly and looked at the soldiers below:
"I am the Marquis of the Kingdom of Zhen. Now that the Holy One has passed away, I should ring the Xichen Bell and summon all civil and military officials to gather in the Tianwu Hall to discuss the establishment of a new king!"
Si Minglan's words woke everyone up, and the eunuch chief hurriedly went to ring the Xichen Bell.
In an instant, the soul-stirring bells resounded throughout the entire Western Imperial City.
When the people in the city heard the bells ringing, they knelt down one after another:
"The Holy Emperor passed away?!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has passed away!"
"how so?"
Not long after, the civil and military officials and the princes hurried to Tianwu Hall and were horrified when they saw the corpses all over the ground.
When they saw Si Minglan standing on the top of Tianwu Hall, the older man suddenly looked shocked:
"Si, the criminal daughter of the Si family?!"
The commander of the Royal Forest Army next to him said quickly: "Master Zuo, the Holy Lord had already confessed his sins before his death. The Si family was wronged by the Demon Queen Lin Yuan. General Si Yuanwu's spirit enthronement was enshrined in the Ancestral Temple, and Si Minglan was named Marquis of the State!"
Mr. Zuo, who had white hair and beard, was shocked: "How is it possible?! The Si family colluded with the Demon Sect to conspire against him. The evidence is conclusive. How dare you falsely pass on the imperial edict?!"
There were also several senior ministers nearby who said:
"You still dare to slander the Queen. Are you colluding with the criminal daughter of the Si family and planning to rebel?!"
"Where is the Holy One? Where is the Holy One?!"
"The emperor is here!" A cold voice sounded from the top of Tianwu Hall.
The ministers looked in horror and saw Wu Zheng's body being supported by a ball of spiritual power and slowly falling from the air.
Everyone fell to their knees and cried:
"Your Majesty!"
"The Holy One is really dead?!"
"Holy Lord!"
Mr. Zuo, who had white beard and hair, rolled his eyes and suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Si Minglan:
"It's you, this sinful woman. It was you who assassinated the Holy One for revenge!"
"Lord Zuo, be careful what you say!" A commander of the Royal Forest Army said to him:
"We were all present just now, and we can all prove that the Marquis of Zhenguo is not lying. The Holy Lord has rehabilitated the Si family and made Si Minglan the Marquis of Zhenguo. All this was done by Demon Queen Lin Yuan!"
When he said this, the surrounding imperial guards agreed and were willing to testify.
"You, are you going to rebel?!"
Master Zuo pointed at a group of imperial guards and shouted angrily.
"Zuo Lin!"
Suddenly, a strange and cold voice sounded. Everyone looked up and saw Si Minglan, dressed in red, already flying into the air, overlooking the group of old ministers who had followed Zuo Lin and scolded her.
"Shen Yuanzhi, Zhang Luoxin, Feng Zhen, Li Xi, Chen Nanxun, Fang Kerin, Xu Changsheng"
Si Minglan's cold gaze passed over the faces of these veterans and read out their names one by one. There were dozens of them.
"Twenty years ago, in order to please Lin Yuan and Wu Zheng, you wrote a letter of remonstrance to punish the Si family for collaborating with the enemy and treason!"
"As important ministers of the court, you know that there are many doubts about the Si family case, but you ignore the truth and are willing to be accomplices, just to please the emperor and empress!"
"Seventy lives of everyone in the Si family will all be counted on your heads!"
A group of veterans headed by Zuo Lin suddenly changed their expressions and pointed at Si Minglan in the air:
"Bold sinner, this is the imperial palace. Even if the late emperor makes you a marquis, it's not your turn to speak arrogantly here!"
"Hahaha!" Si Minglan suddenly laughed:
"Do you really think I care about a mere title?"
"What's going on with the Western Dynasty? What does it have to do with me?"
"I called you here just to gather you together so that I can kill you."
"You, you, don't come here!" Zuo Lin raised his finger and pointed at Si Minglan. He suddenly felt the breath of death and was so frightened that he backed away.
The other veterans were also horrified and were about to turn around and run away when Si Minglan suddenly raised his hand and a huge claw mark fell in the air.
He struck directly in the middle of these veterans.
ah! !
ah! ! !
In an instant, residual limbs were flying and blood rained all over the sky.
More than thirty veterans who participated in the original slander of the Si family were all turned into corpses on the ground.
Si Minglan slowly fell from the air, looked at the countless tokens floating in the air, and knelt on his knees:
"Father, mother, eldest brother, second brother, third brother. The only enemy left in the Si family is Lin Yuan. After I kill her, I will come and reunite with you."
Si Minglan knelt down and bowed to the token in the air, while the surrounding soldiers and civil and military officials looked at each other.
Now the emperor has died, the queen has been deposed, and the most senior ministers are all dead.
In the huge Western Dynasty, there was no one who could call the shots.
"Marquis Zhenguo, what should I do now?"
A commander of the Royal Forest Army came forward and asked in a low voice.
In fact, he was confused at the moment and didn't know what to do.
At this moment, the only person with the highest official rank in the field was the newly appointed Marquis of Zhenguo, so everyone subconsciously looked at Si Minglan.
Si Minglan stood up, looked around, and his eyes fell on a pale young man.
This person's name is Wu Heng, and he is the sixth prince of the Western Dynasty.
Wu Heng looked at Si Minglan blankly, his eyes full of awe and admiration. Si Minglan looked at him, a red light suddenly flashed in her eyes, and she smiled:
"The eldest prince is dead and the second prince committed regicide. Naturally, only the sixth prince is qualified to be the new king."
