Chapter 540: Rebellion and Usurpation
Cheng Yan's eyes were slightly cold, and his expression did not fluctuate much: "What does His Royal Highness King Wu want to do? Kill me?"
Li Jinche smiled: "Don't worry, Lord Cheng, I don't want to take your life, as long as you do what I say, I will keep you safe."
"Dick! What are you going to do?"
Suddenly, there was an angry shout behind the two, and Emperor Jingfeng, who didn't know when to get out of bed, supported his body and walked to the outside with difficulty, he was shocked and angry when he saw this, grabbed a tea cup casually, and threw it at Li Jinche: "Don't let go of Cheng Yan yet!"
"Father?!"
Seeing the furious Emperor Jingfeng, Li Jinche instinctively felt stunned in his heart, subconsciously tilted his head, and easily avoided the tea cup he threw over.
The tea cup fell to pieces on the ground, and at the same time, Li Jinche also regained his composure, and fierceness flashed on his face: "Someone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a dull and neat sound of footsteps outside, and hundreds of guards surrounded the dormitory, forming a thick human wall outside the door. Immediately afterwards, several guards walked into the dormitory, killed the palace attendants one by one, and tied up Cheng Yan by the way.
The screams came out one after another, blood splattered, wetting the dull carpet, and in a short time, the entire dormitory was filled with a strong smell of blood.
When Li Jinche did these things, he acted as if no one was around, as if Emperor Jingfeng did not exist, and his behavior was extremely arrogant.
Emperor Jingfeng was so shocked that he collapsed to the ground, his heart ached, his face turned pale, and he said intermittently: "...... You...... What are you going to do, make ...... Rebellion?"
"What does Father think I'm going to do?" Li Jinche chuckled lightly and walked over and squatted in front of him, "My father wants me to go to Jiangdong to become a vassal after Chinese New Year's Eve, but Erchen has grown up in the capital until he is seventeen years old, and he is really reluctant to let you go......
"It's better to do this, Erchen has prepared a holy decree for you, as long as the father and emperor sign it, Erchen can stay in the capital to accompany you, how about it?"
As he spoke, Li Jinche beckoned and summoned people to bring the holy decree to Emperor Jingfeng.
Emperor Jingfeng took a cursory glance and found that what was written on it was to the effect that Li Jinze would be abolished and Li Jinche, the king of Wu, would be appointed as the crown prince.
"Rebel, you dream!" Emperor Jingfeng suddenly became emotional, and threw the holy decree in his face, "I was really blind in the past, and I loved you as if I were a liver, but I didn't want to let you rebel and usurp the throne...... Ahem, ahem!"
Emperor Jingfeng coughed heavily, his face turned blue and said, "I want to force you to be the crown prince, wait for the next life!" Someone is coming—Flying Fish Guard, take down this chaotic thief for me!"
The words fell, and there was silence all around, and the Flying Fish Guard, who was supposed to hide in the shadows to protect the emperor's safety, was nowhere to be seen.
Emperor Jingfeng couldn't believe it, and shouted repeatedly, "What about the Flying Fish Guard? Where's Flying Fish Guard? Qin Quan, Qin Quan!"
"Your Majesty is looking for a minister?"
At this moment, a voice came, and the Flying Fish Guard commanded Qin Quan to slowly walk in from outside the dormitory.
Seeing Qin Quan, Emperor Jingfeng's face was overjoyed, but the smile quickly disappeared, and his fingers trembled and pointed at Qin Quan who was standing with Li Jinche, with a look of disbelief: "Qin Quan, you ...... You're the Flying Fish Guard's Commander! My cronies!"
Qin Quan's face was gloomy and he didn't answer, and Li Jinche on the side was full of pride: "What about the Flying Fish Guard's commander? Although Feiyuwei has always only listened to the emperor's orders, your time is running out, father, you have to allow Lord Qin to choose a younger master and earn his own future, right?"
Emperor Jingfeng really didn't expect that the most trusted Flying Fish Guard would betray him, and his whole body was shaky, as if he would fall down at any time. If it weren't for the shock and anger he had just been before, he would have begun to feel hopeless at this time - Li Jinche must have been fully prepared to take this step, he was really going to be finished.
Looking at Emperor Jingfeng, who seemed to have suffered a huge blow, Li Jinche didn't want to give him too much time to digest, and ordered in a cold voice, "Come here, wait for Your Majesty to issue the holy decree."
"Yes!"
Several guards of five big and three thick guards stepped forward in response, brutally clamped Emperor Jingfeng's arm, escorted him to the table, and tried to forcibly press his hand to sign the fake holy decree.
"What for! Let go of me! You are presumptuous, I will never sign......
Emperor Jingfeng's face turned red and struggled violently, but after all, he had been sick in bed for a long time, and this strength seemed like tickling to the guards who had practiced martial arts all year round.
During the pushing, Emperor Jingfeng was so angry that a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the person fainted immediately.
"Father?"
Li Jinche's face turned white with fright, and he trembled and probed under Emperor Jingfeng's nose to confirm that he was still alive, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't bother to care about Emperor Jingfeng, who had fainted, and hurriedly picked up the fake holy decree, seeing that it was full of splattered blood, and he couldn't see the handwriting clearly, so he couldn't help but sigh softly: "Tsk, it's a pity, this won't work at all......
The holy decree has not been signed, but the person fainted, Li Jinche didn't know what to do for a while, and hurriedly turned around the house a few times, only then did he remember to find the jade seal of Emperor Jingfeng and stamped the redrafted will.
But it is not enough to have a seal, without Emperor Jingfeng's handwriting, even if he ascends to the throne, he will never be justified.
Li Jinche was impetuous, looked at the holy decree in his hand, and then looked at Emperor Jingfeng who had fainted, and wanted to simply copy the handwriting and sign it several times, but he was afraid of revealing his feet, so he had to give up in the end.
After thinking about it, Li Jinche still chose to pat Emperor Jingfeng's face, intending to wake him up: "Father, father? Wake up......"
However, Emperor Jingfeng's eyes were closed, and he still looked unconscious.
Cheng Yan on the side suddenly said, "It's better to bring the pills that Your Majesty takes daily and feed him two, maybe it can be effective."

Li Jinche was taken aback by his sudden voice, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly put on a fierce appearance and threatened: "Cheng Yan, let me tell you, you don't play tricks! Your life is in my hands, so you'd better not make up your mind!"
Cheng Yan raised his tied hands in front of him, and his tone was calm: "I'm tied like this, what other tricks can I play? The matter has come to this point, no matter how much you struggle, it is useless, it is better to accept your fate as soon as possible. I also hope that Your Majesty will wake up soon, anyway, his time is running out, and the sooner I get your wishes, I will be able to suffer less."
"Your Majesty used to take the elixir of the warlock Bai Shiji some time ago, although the elixir is harmful to the body, but in the short term, it seems to have the effect of refreshing and condensing qi, which can lift the spirit. Anyway, I'm just giving you a suggestion, believe it or not."
After that, Cheng Yan turned his face, as if he really didn't care much about it.
Li Jinche's face changed several times when he heard this, and he really couldn't think of any other way, so he whispered a few words to the guards beside him.
It didn't take long for Bai Xingjia, who was dressed in a simple robe, to walk in at the urging of the guards, he lowered his head, carefully looked at the situation in the room, and quickly lowered his gaze, looking cautious.
Bai Xingjia took out the elixir and carefully gave it to Emperor Jingfeng, and after a while, there were signs of awakening, Li Jinche immediately leaned over when he saw this, and called out in a low voice: "Father, father......"
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was on Emperor Jingfeng, Bai Xingjia walked to Cheng Yan's side quietly, and under the cover of shadows, he quickly took something from his hand and hid it in his wide sleeves, and then the two exchanged a look and said nothing.
After doing all this, Bai Xingjia lowered his eyebrows, as if nothing had happened, and silently withdrew from the dormitory.
