Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 565: Don’t Come Any Closer, or I’ll Kill Her Right Now!
"Clang clang clang!"
The sound of swords clashing against metal echoed as these guards surged towards Qi Yun without hesitation.
He was the true Emperor, yet they falsely claimed the late Emperor was dead and called him an impostor, seeking to capture him.
No, to kill him!
If things went according to their claims, Emperor Qi Yun would indeed die unjustly.
But unfortunately, since Qi Yun has appeared, how could he be alone?
In an instant, "swoosh swoosh swoosh," several dark figures descended from mid-air, it was Yama, Luosha, and Nan Haitang!
The ministers in the Golden Hall were shocked. These people had previously claimed they wouldn’t participate or take sides; why did they suddenly act?
But they quickly understood, Yulong Pavilion only pledged loyalty to the Emperor, serving him until death before transferring allegiance to the next Emperor. At present, since Qi Yun is not dead, they naturally remain loyal to him and support his cause.
With the appearance of the three leaders of the Yulong Pavilion, the situation changed immediately. The guards who charged forward were instantly strangled to death by Luosha.
Those who dared to directly attack Qi Yun were blind to the Emperor’s authority and deserved death!
"Mr. Pang, act now!"
The official opposing Qi Yun looked towards Pang Wenzheng, seeking his command.
With a wave of his hand, Pang Wenzheng commanded, "Kill!"
At the command, a large number of guards surged in from all directions, rushing towards Qi Yun.
A hero’s twin fists cannot prevail against four hands. While Yama and others were highly skilled in martial arts, they couldn’t withstand an army of thousands. With thousands of elite soldiers flooding in, they completely surrounded Qi Yun.
"Qi Yun, oh Qi Yun, you never expected this, did you? You’re cornered today!"
Pang Wenzheng looked at the besieged Qi Yun, reveling in his isolated predicament, and laughed out loud, relishing a moment of triumph after decades of maneuvering.
Qi Yun looked at him calmly, saying nothing, letting him have his moment.
In fact, Pang Wenzheng could have waited a little longer, at least until Da Rong’s forces fully infiltrated before taking action.
However, due to the Tomb Miasma Poison emerging prematurely, he had to accelerate his plan, which led to this setup.
Acting in haste would inevitably leave many loopholes, such as deficiencies in personnel deployment; even the switch Qi Yun orchestrated left no detectable trace, nor did the intrusion by Li Qingmu and others.
These small actions created a butterfly effect, ultimately leading to the failure of the entire scheme.
"Bang!"
At the critical moment, the main gate was forcefully kicked open, and a group of guards wearing Silver Armor stormed in, swiftly engaging with the people present.
"Exterminate the traitorous fiends, protect the King!"
"Slay the ministers of treachery, restore the world!"
With a loud roar, Cui Yuanhe and others entered, scanning the hall of vacillating ministers, sternly commanding, "What are you waiting for? Arrest these rebellious traitors!"
And with that, the situation was settled.
They could claim Qi Yun was a fake, an impostor, but could Cui Yuanhe, Mr. Cui, and these ministers also be fakes?
The ones spouting such words were utterly shameless.
Upon Cui Yuanhe’s appearance, hesitant guards immediately pledged allegiance to Qi Yun. As for those who refused, they were either completely swayed or were originally from Da Rong.
These individuals couldn’t believe their plan would fail and continued resisting stubbornly.
Qi Yun stood atop the Golden Hall, watching them indifferently until Pang Wenzheng’s faction was almost completely wiped out before waving to halt everyone.
"The remaining individuals, imprison them all; they will be executed later as a warning to all who dare rebel!"
"Yes!"
Everyone responded loudly, and Qi Junji collapsed onto the ground.
"Father, your son has erred, your son recognizes his mistake, please have mercy on me!"
Pang Wenzheng’s faction was eradicated so quickly, in less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick, everything was over, leaving him powerless. In a desperate plea for his life, he begged Qi Yun for his mercy.
He thought, they were father and son; surely, Qi Yun wouldn’t harm him.
But he was mistaken. Qi Yun was thoroughly disappointed in him and had him taken away with a wave of his hand.
Hence, Pang Wenzheng’s faction was entirely captured!
Of course, there was one person who managed to escape.
That person was Empress Qiao!
Empress Qiao did not attend the enthronement ceremony this time, citing she was merely a woman and unsuitable for such events. Besides, with the late Emperor’s passing, she claimed she should mourn for him and thus stayed away.
As a result, she escaped Qi Yun’s purge.
She stayed hidden indoors, doing nothing; what could be done to her?
The most she could be accused of was failing to educate her child properly!
But Qi Junji wasn’t her son. Qi Junji had been under Empress Qiao’s care only during his early years and spent subsequent years in the Eastern Palace, focusing on his studies and rarely seeing her.
As Qi Yun triumphed, Empress Qiao rushed in to plead guilty.
"Your Majesty, it’s my failure to teach my son properly, leading to such foolishness. I deserve to die. Please, let the Emperor punish me!"
Qi Yun looked at this woman with a headache. Her admission left him little room for punishment. Moreover, during this incident, she adhered to her duties. Upon Qi Yun’s assumed death, as the head of the harem, she maintained its order; could that be wrong?
Therefore, Qi Yun simply waved his hand, "Empress, Ji’er’s mistake is partly your responsibility, but for the sake of our years together, I will not punish you severely. Return to reflect on yourself; do not leave Kunyuan Palace for three months!"
This was essentially house arrest, but compared to charges of treason, it was exceedingly light. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"Impossible, this can’t be!"
Pang Wenzheng looked at the corpses littering the Golden Hall, utterly unable to believe his eyes.
He had failed just like that?
Despite years of planning, to fall so completely?
Surely this was a joke?
"No, I won’t fail, how could I fail! You treacherous ministers dared kill my people, I’ll take you down with me!"
Pang Wenzheng, in a hysterical fit, lunged at the Silver Armored Soldiers. He was skilled in martial arts, but could one man withstand so many Silver Armored Soldiers?
"Thud thud thud..."
With a flurry of stabs, Pang Wenzheng was pierced many times, blood spurting wildly.
Not far away, Long Yue watched Pang Wenzheng’s suicidal actions, her delicate face twitching slightly, but she said nothing.
Treason demanded death without exception!
She watched as Pang Wenzheng, bleeding profusely, was taken away by the Silver Armored Soldiers in his weakened state.
However, as they passed Long Yue, Pang Wenzheng, seemingly barely alive, suddenly sprang up, and with a swift motion of his dagger, he seized Long Yue, pulling her into his arms.
"Don’t come any closer, any of you, or I’ll kill her immediately!"
