Outside Zhaoyang Palace.

Seeing that the guards of the Imperial City were stunned in place, Nangong Jing was anxious, "Don't be fooled by Nangong Yueze!" Kill him!! Kill him!! ”

He didn't understand, why did those soldiers who usually obey him suddenly change their minds today?

No!

He absolutely could not allow the forces he had worked so hard to manage to be destroyed like this!

He wants to take advantage of today to kill Nangong Yueze, a stumbling block!!

"Whoever killed Nangong Yueze today, this king will reward ten mansions! Gold Leaf Million!! Feng Yi Pinhou !! Nangong Jing continued to shout.

There are ten mansions, millions of gold leaves, and a marquis!

What a temptation!

In the midst of the uproar, some imperial city guards couldn't help but rush towards Nangong Yueze.

Looking at the several people who came towards him, a trace of mockery flashed in Nangong Yueze's eyes, and he was about to swing his sword to meet it, when suddenly, a low and hoarse voice came from behind the crowd.

"Stop it!!

Hearing this familiar voice, Nangong Jing stiffened, and immediately looked in the direction where the voice came from.

Not far away, Nangong Yongchang was walking towards them on crutches, his wrinkled face with suffocating majesty and vicissitudes.

Seeing that familiar face, Nangong Jing was instantly stunned.

Nangong Yongchang can not only walk on his own, but even speak?!

This...... How is this possible?!

Could it be that all his previous performances were faked??

No! That's impossible!

He remembered very well that the imperial doctor he sent told him personally that Nangong Yongchang was terminally ill and his days were numbered......

However, the sight before him clearly told him that this was not the case.

Although Nangong Yongchang's body is still rickety, his legs are very stable and powerful, not at all like a person who has been sick in bed for a long time.

What the hell is going on?!

Seeing Nangong Yongchang, Nangong Yueze put away his sword, and immediately saluted him, saying, "Erchen greets his father!" ”

Seeing this, the rest of the people also put down their weapons one after another, knelt on the ground and said, "Meet Your Majesty!" ”

Nangong Yongchang nodded, and his sharp gaze fell on Nangong Jing's body instead, "Seventh Prince, what are you doing here?" ”

Hearing this, Nangong Jing was shocked, and immediately knelt down and explained, "Please Father Emperor Mingjian, the ninth brother colluded with Yuyue Kingdom in an attempt to rebel, and the son is ordering him to be arrested." ”

"Oh? Really? Nangong Yongchang raised his eyebrows lightly, "What evidence do you have to prove that Lao Jiu and Yuyue Kingdom are colluding??" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has evidence!" At this moment, Su Mingde suddenly struggled to get up, "Your Majesty, the minister's people have seen His Royal Highness Nine appear in the Yuyue Country with their own eyes, not only that, His Royal Highness the Nine has also been in and out of the Imperial City of the Yuyue Country several times, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, the minister can let the witness confront His Royal Highness the Nine in person." ”

Hearing this, Nangong Yongchang's eyes darkened slightly, he turned his head to look at Nangong Yueze, and asked in a deep voice: "Lao Jiu, I ask you, where have you been these days?" ”

Nangong Yueze had expected that Nangong Yongchang would ask him like this, so he took a step forward directly, bowed down and said, "Back to my father's words, my son is indeed in Yuyue Country these days. ”

"Father, you see, he admitted it himself!" Hearing this, Nangong Jing immediately became excited.

Nangong Yueze glanced at him and continued: "Father, the reason why Erchen appeared in Yuyue Country is because there are a large number of demons and evil spirits in Yuyue Country, not to mention the identity of the prince of the Nebula Empire, Erchen is still a cultivator, as a monk who cultivates Shinto, Erchen shoulders the heavy responsibility of protecting the common people, in the hearts of Erchen, whether it is the people of the Nebula Empire or the people of Yuyue Country, they are all the same, and Erchen will never allow those demons and evil to harm the common people!" Erchen went to the Feather Moon Country this time to eradicate those evil spirits who were causing trouble in the Feather Moon Country!! ”

"Father, don't believe his nonsense, it's so decent, where are some demons and evil people?!" Hearing Nangong Yueze's words, Nangong Jing hurriedly shouted.

"If my father doesn't believe it, the 80,000 soldiers who are about to return can testify for his son!" Nangong Yueze said in a calm voice.

"Eighty thousand soldiers?" Nangong Yongchang frowned, "What's going on?" ”

"In order to put his sons to death, the seventh brother did not hesitate to send 80,000 soldiers to the Yuyue Kingdom, if it wasn't for the help of the heavenly generals who came in time at that time, I am afraid that those 80,000 soldiers would have to be reduced to the rations of those demons!!" Nangong Yueze said in a cold tone.

When Nangong Jing heard this, the look on his face suddenly became a little flustered, "Father, Nangong Yueze is full of nonsense, there is no such thing at all......"

"Shut up !!" Nangong Yongchang abruptly interrupted Nangong Jing's words, "What kind of person you are, I couldn't know better!" ”

"Father, son......" Nangong Jing just wanted to speak, but Nangong Yongchang suddenly slapped him heavily.

That slap was crisp and loud, and it directly slapped Nangong Jing.

Covering half of his hot cheeks, Nangong Jing glared at Nangong Yongchang in disbelief.

He actually beat him in front of so many people?!

"Nangong Jing, there are some things I didn't want to say, but what you did today is too much!!" Nangong Yongchang was extremely resentful and scolded, "In order to blame your brother, you did not hesitate to poison your mother and concubine with your own hands, in order to succeed the prince, you even threatened me, you snatched the jade seal, not to mention, and imprisoned me in the dormitory, tortured in every way, no one was allowed to visit, and now, you still want to kill your brother, Nangong Jing!" How could I have given birth to such an obstacle as you!! ”

Xu was so excited that he couldn't help coughing violently, and blood kept flowing from the corners of his mouth.

"Father!" Seeing this, Nangong Yueze and Nangong Jing stepped forward to support him at the same time.

Nangong Yongchang took two deep breaths, and then pushed Nangong Jing away fiercely, "I don't need you to pretend!" In your heart, I'm afraid that I will die soon! ”

Hearing this, Nangong Jing was stunned, "Father, son-in-law dare not ......"

"Hmph, you don't dare? But what did you do that made me feel like you didn't dare at all? Nangong Yongchang raised his hand and pointed at Nangong Jing's face, and shouted.

After hearing Nangong Yongchang's words, everyone around was in an uproar.

"I didn't expect His Highness the Seventh to be such a person!"

"Yes, we thought he was benevolent and filial, but he was really blind......"

"Who says it's not, a dignified son would do such a thing, it's just a beast!!"

"This is called knowing the face and not knowing the heart!!"

“……”

Listening to the discussion of everyone around him, Nangong Jing's face suddenly became extremely gloomy, his hands clenched into fists, and his eyes burst out with strong hatred.

Nangong Yueze glanced at Nangong Yongchang, who had a very bad face beside him, and turned his eyes to Nangong Yichen and said, "Third brother, quickly help my father back to the dormitory, his body has just recovered a little, don't be stimulated anymore." ”

"Okay." Nangong Yichen responded, got up and came to the two of them, "Ninth brother, your cultivation is ......"

"Third brother, I'll talk to you about it later." Nangong Yueze shook his head lightly and interrupted Nangong Yichen's words.

Nangong Yichen nodded, and was about to help Nangong Yongchang leave, but at this moment, Nangong Jing suddenly rushed up and blocked their way.

"Father, the son is not convinced!! Erchen still has something to say!! ”

"What else are you going to say?" Nangong Yongchang glared at Nangong Jing coldly, and reprimanded angrily: "You covet the throne and try to kill your younger brother, isn't this incident enough?!" ”

"Hehehe......" Hearing this, Nangong Jing suddenly sneered a few times, "Father, you said that your sons covet the throne, can you guarantee that Nangong Yueze doesn't have this idea?" Erchen has just seen with his own eyes that he already has the cultivation of the Spirit Venerable Realm, aren't you worried that one day, he will take your place? ”

"Brother Seven, you're too worried, I've never been interested in the throne of the Nebula Empire." Nangong Yueze said lightly.

"Not interested? Hehe, Nangong Yueze, I think you are too hypocritical, although I don't know what method you used to obtain such a high level of cultivation, but you did this just to get the throne? Nangong Jing asked through gritted teeth.

"Hehe, do you think everyone is like you?" Nangong Yueze asked rhetorically with squinted eyes.

"You ......" Nangong Jing was about to open his mouth to argue, but was directly interrupted by Nangong Yongchang.

"That's enough, don't fight anymore!!"

Nangong Yueze pursed the corners of her mouth lightly, stood aside and didn't speak again.

In the next second, Nangong Yongchang squinted his eyes, stared at Nangong Jing, and said word by word: "Old Seven, since you care so much about this throne, then I will make you completely dead today!" ”

Hearing this, Nangong Jing's heart suddenly swelled with unease, "Father, you...... What do you say? ”

"Don't you understand what I said?" Nangong Yongchang walked slowly towards Nangong Jing, "Yichen, pass on my will, from now on, depose the status of the prince of Nangong Jing, degrade him to a commoner, and without my permission, he will not be allowed to step into the imperial city for half a step for the rest of his life!" ”

"Father, father, ......" Nangong Jing's eyes widened, and he looked at Nangong Yongchang in disbelief, "What are you talking about, you want to abolish your son's status as a prince??" ”

Nangong Yongchang's expression did not change, he turned his eyes to look at Nangong Yueze, and continued: "Nangong Yueze, the ninth prince of the Ninth Emperor, has been gifted since he was a child, is extremely intelligent, has the world in his heart, and has won his heart. ”

"Father......" Hearing this, Nangong Yueze immediately came to Nangong Yongchang's side, bowed down and said: "Erchen has no intention of becoming the prince of the Nebula Empire, and he also asks his father to take back his fate." ”

"You don't have to say much, I've made up my mind." Nangong Yongchang patted him on the shoulder and said, "In my heart, there is no one more suitable for the position of prince than you." ”

"But ......" Nangong Yueze was still a little hesitant, because in the near future, he would return to the Heavenly Realm to take over the position of the crown prince, and he really didn't have any interest in the position of the prince of the mortal realm.

"Ninth brother, what are you still hesitating about, haven't you thanked your father soon." Nangong Yichen tugged at Nangong Yueze's sleeve and reminded in a low voice.

Nangong Yueze glanced at Nangong Yichen, then at Nangong Yongchang, and finally saluted respectfully: "Thank you for your father's love, my sons will live up to my father's expectations." ”

"Okay." Nangong Yongchang nodded with satisfaction.

Just as the three of them were talking, no one noticed that a flash of madness was flashing in Nangong Jing's eyes.

He was really unwilling!

Obviously, everything has gone so smoothly, seeing that he is about to ascend the throne as emperor, but with the appearance of Nangong Yueze, all his plans have come to naught!!

"In that case, you all give me death!! Nangong Jing suddenly let out a roar.

As the words fell, a purple ball of light gathered in his palm, approaching Nangong Yongchang.
