Chapter 800 Li Xian: Your Majesty, please call me Your Highness
Chapter 800 Li Xian: Your Majesty, please call me Your Highness
Not long after, a great general, four generals and the chief minister of the Inner Guard arrived at the Qianyang Palace.
After paying his respects to the emperor, Huan Bin naturally became the head of the military officers.
His action did not cause any dissatisfaction among anyone. Instead, the military officers obediently gave way to Huan Bin.
Huan Bin, who was ranked third and whose status was comparable to that of a prime minister, held his head high and chest out. Although he still looked like an honest man, there was a shrewdness in his eyes.
"You six just came in. What's the situation outside?"
Wu Zetian asked Huan Bin.
Just as Huan Bin was about to answer, he heard footsteps outside.
Everyone looked outside the hall and saw the deposed Crown Prince Li Xian walking up the stairs, followed by the Right Guard General Li Bin and the heir to the throne of Pu, Li Jiao.
That's noticeable, but not the most noticeable.
The most eye-catching thing about him was the hemp rope he was holding in his right hand.
It was a very ordinary hemp rope that could be seen everywhere, but on this hemp rope were tied human heads.
Li Xian, who is usually gentle, walked into Taichu Palace dragging more than twenty human heads.
The soldiers on duty were so frightened by the murderous aura that they dared not move. They could only watch Li Xian and everyone else enter Taichu Palace.
"What are you going to do, Li Xian!"
The emperor also saw more than twenty human heads.
She dared to guarantee that these heads must be closely related to her, otherwise Li Xian would not have brought the heads here.
"Your Majesty, please call me Your Highness!"
Li Xian has a loud voice and a deep gaze.
This is the first step in rebelling against the emperor!
He must not be weak at all!
Otherwise, he might end up like the former deposed Crown Prince Li Chengqian, leaving behind only the bad reputation of a rebel!
As a member of the Li family, didn’t Li Xian know how the deposed Crown Prince Li Chengqian got his bad reputation?
He was forced to do that by his brothers and father.
They should have borne this bad reputation!
Li Xian was also forced, but he was wiser than Li Chengqian.
"Li Xian!" Wu Zetian gritted her teeth. This bastard was about to drag her off the throne, yet he was still so rampant.
Could it be that this son of a bitch is unwilling to give her any respect at all?
"Your Majesty!" Li Xian glared. "Your Majesty, do you still think I'm a three-year-old child? Can you scare me so much with just one sentence that I won't even dare to eat?"
Wu Zetian was speechless.
It was the first time she saw Li Xian like this. Li Xian never dared to speak to her like this before.
It seems that her son Li Xian has finally become so bold.
But it's not surprising. He dared to rebel. It would be really strange if he didn't have the courage to shout at her.
"Li Xian! What do you want to do?"
"What is your intention in bringing so many heads into the palace?"
Wu Zetian pointed at the head with an unfriendly expression.
"The kings with the surname Wu are cruel and brutal. I, your son, have raised an army to purge the court!" After Li Xian finished speaking, he threw the head forward with force.
I saw dozens of heads falling to the ground as the noose broke free from his throw.
All the civil and military officials in the court were shocked. They looked closely and saw the heads of the princes of the Wu family rolling on the ground.
Among them, the heads of Wu Yizong, Wu Sizong, Wu Youji, Wu Youning, Wu Chonggui and others were particularly eye-catching. These people were so recognizable that all officials could quickly identify them.
The emperor was old and his eyesight was not as good as before, but she also saw something wrong from the expressions of the officials.
"these are……"
Wu Zetian frowned.
Shangguan Wan'er stammered, "Your Majesty, these are the princes of the Wu family."
Wu Zetian was stunned, her pupils grew bigger and bigger, and then her body fell backwards, lying on the dragon bed, and passed out.
Li Xian waved his hand, and the imperial physician he brought with him hurried forward. After taking the emperor's pulse, he concluded that the emperor was unconscious.
Everyone worked hard for a while before waking up the emperor.
Wu Zetian seemed to have had a big dream. She swallowed hard and looked at Li Xian, who had hardly moved from beginning to end.
"How many people have you killed?" she asked
Li Xian said: "The entire family of Wu Chengsi, the Prince of Wei, the entire family of Wu Sansi, the entire family of Wu Yizong and Wu Sizong, the entire family of Wu Youning and Wu Youji, the entire family of Wu Youyi and Wu Youxu, and the entire family of Wu Chonggui..."
Li Xian said so.
It is true that he kept Wu Chengsi and Wu Youxu, but he would not tell the emperor.
If he wanted to anger Wu Zetian to death, he had to strike the emperor's mind with the greatest force.
"Li Xian!"
"puff……"
Wu Zetian screamed and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. As soon as she woke up, she fell into coma again.
The imperial physician had no choice but to come forward for another diagnosis. This time it was simpler. He said that the emperor was suffering from a heart attack caused by anger, and then he tried to treat the emperor.
Di Renjie felt very uncomfortable when he saw Wu Zetian vomiting blood and fainting due to the torture of just a few words. He looked at Li Xian and wanted to persuade him, but was stopped by Zhang Jianzhi.
"Jianzhi, what are you going to do?"
"Brother Huaiying, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to..."
"I know what Your Highness is going to do, but I have followed Your Majesty for many years. I must persuade him a little. Your Majesty must not be angered to death."
"Do you think the Crown Prince's goal is to anger the Emperor to death?"
"Then I have to persuade them a little!"
Li Xian noticed the two men's movements and said, "It's better for the two adults not to speak for the time being. This is our Li family's private matter!"
Di Renjie's breath got stuck in his throat and he turned to look at Li Xian.
He discovered the biggest change in Li Xian.
At this moment, Li Xian was not the deposed crown prince, but the former emperor.
The emperor ordered him not to speak!
"Your Highness, the Emperor is your mother after all!" Di Renjie said earnestly.
Li Xian closed his eyes and asked, "Where is Prince Zhanghuai Li Xian?"
Di Renjie was speechless.
Where is Prince Zhanghuai Li Xian?
Prince Zhanghuai Li Xian’s tombstone couldn’t even be found, so how could it still be there?
Wu Zetian was finally awakened again. She took a deep breath and sat up straight with the help of Shangguan Wan'er.
"I……"
"I, I really have a good son."
"Okay, okay, you killed them all. Isn't your goal for my throne?"
"Come on, Li Xian, you are my good son, pick up your weapon and kill me with one sword!"
She looked at Li Xian with hatred, determined to completely destroy herself and her good son.
Want the throne?
Then kill the king and seize the throne, Li Xian!
She looked at Li Xian angrily, determined to leave a stigma on Li Xian that would never be erased!
Li Xian looked at the emperor quietly, expressionless.
"Your Majesty, you are wrong. To this day, you still think that I am raising an army just to take your position."
"You are totally wrong!"
"Li Dan is dead, and my entire family was poisoned by Liang Wang Wu Sansi. I no longer have the heart to distinguish right from wrong!"
"Your Majesty, you have always felt that we children are an eyesore to you. Did you know that Wu Sansi poisoned my entire family?"
Li Xian's questioning came so suddenly that Wu Zetian was unable to react for a while.
She shuddered and asked, "Did your entire family get poisoned by Wu Sansi?"
