Chapter 164: Identity Revealed
After being briefly shocked, Emperor Yan opened his eyes wide with anger and smashed his wine glass angrily.
If "Jiang Cheng" hadn't stepped forward in time to block it, the wine glass might not have hit him in the face, but Zhu Jiu's.
In an instant, blood flowed from the corner of Xuanyuan Che's forehead.
Zhu Jiu couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and walked to the center of the hall. He knelt down on one knee and performed a military salute. He solemnly said to Emperor Yan: "Your Majesty, please allow me to inform you. I have been adopted by the Zhu family since I was a child. A few days ago I have found out my life experience, and my true identity is Gao Xinguo... Lin Ye, the orphan of the former crown prince!"
What?
Zhu Jiu, the majestic female war goddess of the Yan Kingdom, turned into Lin Ye, the eldest princess of the Gaoxin Kingdom overnight?
How can everyone believe this!
Many people cast ridiculous looks at her, and even the ministers who had been standing in Zhu Jiu's row began to waver.
They believed in Zhu Jiu only because Zhu Jiu was from Yan State.
But now that she is no longer from Yan country, how can they trust her?
What's more, people couldn't help but talk about it at this time, saying that she could make Xuanyuan Che retreat, maybe she was conspiring with Gao Xin State, and also said that Gao Xin State had already reached cooperation with Xuanyuan State, otherwise Zhu It is impossible for Xuanyuan Che to withdraw his troops so smoothly!
Various comments were made in an endless stream. Emperor Yan stared at Zhu Jiu and said word by word: "Are all the things you said true?"
Leng Qingxiu quietly sat back on her chair, looking at Zhu Jiu with a faint smile, as if she was watching a good show. After raising glasses from afar with Prime Minister Leng, Prime Minister Leng also watched on the wall at her signal.
At this moment, whether Zhu Jiu lives or dies is just a word from Emperor Yan.
The silence in the main hall could be heard, and no one dared to speak.
Zhu Jiu noticed that Jiang Cheng's face was a little pale, and he kept covering the bleeding spot on his forehead, which seemed to be seriously injured.
She frowned slightly and secretly winked at Gong E next to her.
Gong'e was once rescued by her and was very loyal to her. Any news in the palace would be reported to the Zhu family as soon as possible. She was very trustworthy.
Seeing this, Gong E whispered a few words to Jiang Cheng, then quietly took him out of the Tai Chi Hall and bandaged his wounds.
Before Xuanyuan Che left, he glanced at her one more time, but his eyes were dark and he didn't know what he was thinking.
At this time, Zhu Jiu had already raised his eyes, looked directly at Emperor Yan and said, "Yes, what I said in Juju is true, and I dare not deceive the emperor."
"presumptuous!"
Emperor Yan felt the blood surge in his chest, and he vomited out a mouthful of blood angrily, staring at Zhu Jiu resentfully: "Why did the late emperor die? You should know, since you are the blood of the Gaoxin royal family, then... you will do it today. Commit suicide here to apologize!"
Although they had known for a long time that Emperor Yan might be angry with Zhu Jiu, no one expected that Emperor Yan would be so angry.
Although I don't know if Zhu Jiu is conspiring with the people of Gao Xin State, she can protect Yan State for a while as long as she is in Yan State.
If you kill her now, wouldn't you tear off your own amulet?
The ministers who were still sitting at the banquet just stood up and knelt down. They all begged Zhu Jiu for mercy: "Your Majesty! This matter can be investigated later, but if General Zhu is killed now, the situation is not good!"
"Yes, General Zhu has devoted his whole life to the country these years. Even though he has no merit but hard work, how can he give her death?"
Zhu Jiu said nothing, but looked directly at Emperor Yan, his black and white eyes showing no fear and calm...z.br
"Your Majesty, I have returned to the Yan Kingdom to serve the country. It has nothing to do with any conspiracy, nor has I had any affair with the Xuanyuan Kingdom. Rather, like you, I love the people as my son. I also want to end the war as soon as possible and restore peace to the world!"
Although she is a woman, she speaks loudly, sonorously and powerfully, and has such a bold and unruly spirit that even the women Leng Qingxiu has attracted can't help but be moved by it. At this moment, they all stood up and knelt down.
After Zhu Jiu died, "Your Majesty, please take a closer look!"
The little prince was happy to watch the fire from the other side. Since Jiang Cheng was gone anyway, he didn't need to protect Zhu Jiu, so he just kept sitting and drinking tea.
The eldest princess also frowned slightly, seeing that the situation was not good, she stood up and advised: "Brother, please don't get angry.
, so as not to hurt the body. General Zhu has great prestige in the court and among the people. He has always been a good general who loves the people like a son. If General Zhu is killed for no reason at this time, I am afraid it will arouse public resentment. If something happens, what will happen?
Isn’t it even worse?”
Hearing this, Emperor Yan was so angry that he glared at her: "Can't you kill him? It's just Zhu Jiu, I can kill him if I say he can!"
Everyone wanted him to be aware of it, but if the late emperor hadn't been killed in a surprise attack by Gao Xin's people, how could he have sat on the throne in a hurry and stayed there for so many years without any preparation?
This is the revenge for killing his father, how can he not hate it!
Emperor Yan raised his hand and swept it across the table. The cups and dishes fell to the floor in an instant. They were broken into crisp pieces. He immediately shouted: "Come here! Get the traitor Zhu Jiu to me immediately!"
The commander of the Imperial Guard who came from Xun Sheng froze when he saw this scene, and did not step forward to take anyone for a long time.
Those of them who are soldiers all know what kind of existence Zhu Jiu is to the Yan Kingdom, not to mention that she is a good woman and a good general that all men admire.
No one wants to be the criminal who catches her and goes to jail.
When Emperor Yan saw that no one was willing to move, he was so angry that he fell back, breathing rapidly, and his eyesight went dark.
"Okay, okay! Now each and every one of you is starting to rebel against me! If you don't want to take action, then I will do it myself!"
Hearing this, Zhu Jiu frowned slightly and slowly looked away from Emperor Yan, unable to hide the disappointment in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Yan would think so of her after learning her identity.
She secretly closed her fist and glanced sideways at the little prince: Maybe it's time for someone else to sit on the throne.
She could coerce the emperor to order the princes and support the young prince to ascend the throne, and the Zhu family would assist him well, clear the court, and stabilize the country.
After she defeats Xuanyuan's army, she can return to the Kingdom of Gaoxin and guard the mausoleum for her father and the emperor for three years, in order to repay her parents' kindness to her.
The little prince suddenly looked at her and couldn't help but trembled all over. He stared at Zhu Jiu warily: This man is so good, what are you looking at him for?
At this time, Emperor Yan had already drawn the guard's sword and was about to slash at Zhu Jiu with the sword. Zhu Jiu secretly clenched the sword at his waist, but before she could take action, Emperor Yan fainted in front of her.
He fell to the ground with a thud, so suddenly that by the time everyone reacted, Prime Minister Leng had already started asking people to take Emperor Yan to the side hall to rest. At the same time, he invited the imperial physician and took the imperial doctor into the side hall to diagnose and treat Emperor Yan.
Prior to this, all the courtiers at the celebration banquet were anxiously waiting for Emperor Yan to wake up in the Taiji Hall.
They were all praying for Emperor Yan to survive, but he died without leaving any edict. If Emperor Yan was still alive, he could still suppress the Zhu family and Zhu Jiu. If he was gone, they knew that Zhu Jiu was a high-ranking official.
What about the identity of Xin people?
With Zhu Jiu's current status, they can't do anything to her!
Zhu Jiu looked at the confused and extravagant Tai Chi Palace, her eyes getting darker and darker. Finally she shook her head, took off the sword given to her by Emperor Yan, put it on the table and went to the side room near the Tai Chi Palace alone.
