Chapter 454 Father, you are really hiding it
"You are presumptuous!"
The Northern Qi emperor roared, followed by another violent cough. Now, even Nalande and Xuanyuan Hong were a little worried.
The emperor is so emotional, don't let him get angry at this time... Hey, he can't die now.
"Whether to be presumptuous or not, the situation has already become like this. I, your son, have no other choice, and so does your father."
The Northern Qi Emperor laughed, and his laugh was particularly strange.
"Situ Lian, Situ Lian, I wanted to spare your life today, but you actually rushed to seek death. Fine, fine, hahahaha, then today, I will tell you. Even if I really gave this position to that idiot Situ Yue, I would not give it to you. Do you know why?"
Situ Lian had a gloomy face, as if waiting for the Northern Qi Emperor to explain.
On the contrary, Zhuge Wenqing, who was standing next to him, had a flash of panic in his eyes, but then he returned to normal and lowered his eyes slightly to hide the murderous intent in his heart at the moment.
"Because you are not the blood of my Situ family at all. You are not my son. You are the bastard offspring of the queen and him! Zhuge Wenqing!"
Situ Lian's originally wooden face relaxed a little in an instant, with a hint of disbelief, "Impossible, you lied to me."
"Hahaha, lied to you? Why would I risk my reputation by lying to you? My dear queen, you really lied to me so hard." The Northern Qi emperor looked at Zhuge Wenqing with blurry eyes. The murderous intent and hatred in his eyes were very obvious. "I really didn't expect that you would be so cunning. You would rather hurt yourself than save them. Hahaha, I'm not as good as you, because I'm not as cruel as you. However, even though you are a eunuch now, at least you still have an heir, which is not a loss, hahaha."
The Northern Qi Emperor laughed very creepily, and apart from his laughter, there was almost no other sound in the hall.
The civil and military officials in the hall were all very scared after hearing such a secret. No matter who was in power, if such a thing was known, their lives would be in danger!
Situ Lian looked at Zhuge Wenqing suddenly. From his evasive look, he already had the answer in his mind.
Zhuge Wenqing reminded quietly, "Now is not the time to talk about this. This is our last chance. Now everyone inside and outside the palace is ours. Prince, don't be distracted."
Situ Lian's face was trembling slightly with anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, when this is over, I'll trouble the Prime Minister to explain the whole story to me."
The two men's open communication made the Northern Qi emperor so angry that he almost killed someone.
At this moment, the happiest person was Situ Yue.
Hahahaha, what did he just hear? Situ Lian is not of royal blood, hahahaha, if he is not of royal blood, then he is the only one who can sit in that seat?
"Father!" Situ Yue immediately became more alert. "This traitor actually wants to usurp the throne. He must be severely punished."
Situ Lian looked at him with murderous eyes, and Zhuge Wenqing noticed it.
He took action immediately and knocked Situ Yue away with one palm, then stabbed Situ Yue's chest directly with the sword.
Xuanyuan Hong was no pushover either. Even if Situ Yue was incompetent, he was still his nephew, and he couldn't just watch him die.
The group of soldiers surrounding the hall also started fighting with the imperial guards.
The sound made some civil officials in the hall tremble with fear.
"Situ Lian, you really want to rebel!"
"Father, whether you recognize me or not, I have always respected you. But in this situation, I want to live. For the sake of your years of raising me, if you are willing to pass the throne to me, I can still let you live out your life in peace."
"You bastard! You bastard!"
Situ Lian sneered, "You just said that I am not your bloodline."
"You are indeed an ungrateful person. Do you think you will succeed today?"
The Emperor of Northern Qi smashed the cup beside him to pieces. After the noise, a large number of people in black clothes suddenly rushed in from the surrounding area, and each of them was very lethal.
Zhuge Wenqing was the first to realize that something was wrong. He found the right moment and grabbed Situ Yue, who had just been seriously injured by him. Although Situ Yue, with the knife at his neck, was in great pain, his consciousness had obviously returned.
"Don't kill me! Uncle, father, please save me."
Xuanyuan Hong frowned tightly, chopped off the head of an enemy with a knife, and rushed to Situ Yue as soon as possible, pointing his sword at Zhuge Wenqing, "Zhuge Wenqing, you have no way to survive today, let the third prince go."
“Haha,” Zhuge Wenqing sneered, “Whether there is a way to survive is not up to you, Xuanyuan Hong. Now, if you want Situ Yue to survive, all of you, get out of the way and let me and the prince leave.”
He arranged for experts to protect Situ Lian, so he was not worried.
But Situ Lian didn't seem to want to leave. He looked at the group of black-clad hidden guards who had just appeared. "Are these the legendary dragon guards who can fight a hundred at a time?"
The Northern Qi emperor smiled with a look of success, "You didn't expect that I still have this trump card."
"So, from the beginning, Father never intended to pass the throne to me, right?"
The Northern Qi emperor frowned. He really wanted to hand over the Northern Qi to the prince, but his body was too weak. Even though he was much better now, it was a very serious problem that he could not pass on his throne. Therefore, he was also very conflicted.
"In the past, I never changed my mind. I did intend to pass the throne to you. Otherwise, I would not have resisted so many objections from civil and military officials and insisted on making you the crown prince. However, your health is too poor, and I also have my responsibilities and concerns. It is a fact that you cannot pass on the throne, and I have to make more plans."
"Oh, so you never told me about the Dragon Guard. I always thought that the Dragon Guard had all died in the civil strife during the time of the Emperor Retired. I didn't expect that. Father, you hid it really well."
"If not, today would be the day I die. Lian'er, stop it. For the sake of our father-son relationship, I will leave your body intact."
"Ha, ha ha ha, leave my body intact? That's totally unnecessary." Situ Lian's eyes were full of gloom, and he smiled coldly, making people feel that his whole body was gloomy and very scary.
"Prime Minister! What's the point of having that loser Situ Yue here? If you want a hostage, wouldn't I, your good father, be more suitable?"
Zhuge Wenqing was indeed very obedient. He pushed Situ Yue towards Xuanyuan Hong and flew towards the Emperor of Northern Qi.
When his big palm was about to touch the neck of the Northern Qi Emperor, a long sword stabbed over and almost cut off Zhuge Wenqing's hand.
"You want to arrest someone? Do you think I agree?"
From the sound of this person, it seems he is a young man, wearing a black face scarf, with a pair of smiling eyes. Who else could it be but Huo Yuanruo?
Li Mulan asked him to help, but he was reluctant at first. But when the job was done, the junior master-master personally grilled meat for him, and he couldn't resist the temptation.
In order to prevent someone from recognizing him, Li Mulan even asked him to wear a mask to avoid bringing disaster to the sect.
