"I can see that your body is still in the Sky Spirit Realm, and you opened up the visible orifices, but didn't build the immortal body. It seems that you have been hit by a fatal blow, and I'm afraid you can't make it out. Si Wenhan, how did you turn against Murong Fengjian? "
Si Wenhan gave a bleak smile. He knew that his body function begun to decline, and he was unable to take other people's cultivation base. However, he was relieved when he realized he was dying, saying, "It doesn't matter. Ten years ago, Tian Juechen and my dear disciple Murong Fengjian jointly plotted against the last emperor and me, and almost killed me. Today I just came back for vengeance."
"Tian Juechen? My father?" The crown prince was slightly stunned. The civilian population always avoided speaking the emperor's name, so it took him a few seconds to understand who Si Wenhan mentioned about.
Duanmu Jianming captured something from Si Wenhan's words, and then asked with a slight frown, "You mean, Tian Juechen attacked you, as well? Was this thing conspired by Murong Fengjian alone? "
"This traitor alone was not capable of doing so." Si Wenhan glared at Murong Fengjian and gnashed his teeth in anger, "At that time, Tian Juechen was the second prince. Without his help, I wouldn't have almost died in the wilderness with my cultivation base gone and bones broken."
"In the past, the last emperor and I advocated the policy of keeping a truce and maintaining the army. But in order to promote his cultivation base, Murong Fengjian egged me on to provoke a war. It happened that the last emperor was about to pass the throne to the last crown prince who were not Tian Juechen, so this jerk colluded with Tian Juechen to kill the last emperor, poisoned the last crown prince, and then framed me. Otherwise, they would not have owed their present positions."
Surprise showed on the face of the crown prince and the three foreign envoys. Even Feng Qianlong could not believe that the last crown prince was murdered by the incumbent emperor.
But he had to. He knew that Si Wenhan had no reason to deceive them any longer, and he also heard that there were plenty of dirty intrigues behind the competition for the throne or among princes and imperial concubines.
"What do you mean?"
"Tian Juechen killed the last emperor and grabbed the throne, but he was so addicted to women that he ignored the state affairs." Tan Xinglong thought carefully and uttered.
All of a sudden, Duanmu Jianming extended his hands to grasp Tian Xuexi in his arms, and then shouted, "Take me to Tian Juechen, right now!"
"My father is in Hall of Mental Cultivation. I'll show you the way."
Seven people headed to Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Feng Qianlong pondered for a moment, and then waved his hand to call on other guards, "Our mission is to protect the emperor. Go with me." After that, all guards followed Feng closely and left.
"What are they going to do?" Though clever, Qin'er was not interested in the throne, so she didn't know as much as Xiao Naihe.
As a royal prince in his previous life, Xiao Naihe was very familiar with the dark side of the royal family. Although he discovered a piece of important information from Si Wenhan's words, he didn't want to dig deeper.
He stared at Murong Fengjian, and took a deep breath.
"Qin'er, this traitor has no strength to strike back now. Finish him before his immortal body recovered." Si Wenhan suddenly shouted to Qin'er.
Just then, a flurry of footsteps approached, and then dozens of guards in armor ran over.
Si Wenhan's face darkened, and he sighed with disappointment, "It's all over. I didn't expect to lose to this traitor again. Damn it, why?"
Dozens of guards in armor encircled Murong Fengjian, and one of whom helped him stand up.
"Old Ghost, you lose. You lose again! Today, I'm going to kill you and your daughter, and cut both of you into pieces…"
When Murong Fengjian just finished his sentence, a sharp pain in the chest took his awareness. He lowered his head with shock.
A dagger stabbed into his chest, and hit his heart. His immortal body was seriously hurt, so he was vulnerable now.
