Chapter 569 The Young Swordsman's Tale: Underworld Chapter 15
If she could, Xiao Ruojin outside the door would have loved to point at the big screen and yell at the 'Xiao Ruojin' inside: "Hey! What kind of monster are you! How dare you impersonate me!"
Xiao Ruojin was absolutely certain that the 'Xiao Ruojin' on the screen was definitely not him!
Putting everything else aside, the idea of breaking through to the Divine Realm through the Number One Pavilion Under Heaven is absolutely impossible.
Did he really think that with such a huge "Ascending the First Tower Under Heaven" standing there, he never tried it?
Hehehe!
Xiao Ruojin's eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth in anger, but in the end he didn't dare to utter a sound, for fear that the ancestors inside would discover his presence. He could only curse in his heart.
Meanwhile, inside the palace, Emperor Tai'an, seeing Xiao Ruojin's outstanding performance, was about to boast to his ancestors about how well he had educated his son.
Who would have thought that the next second, he would see himself acting strangely on the screen.
They openly and covertly suppressed and sowed discord between Xiao Ruojin and Xiao Ruofeng, and even ordered the Dark River to intercept and kill Xiao Ruofeng and Baili Luochen.
Seeing Mu Mingce accept the imperial decree, Emperor Tai'an closed his eyes in anguish, strongly suspecting that the version of himself on the screen had been blinded by fodder and would actually do something so incredibly stupid.
But then he realized with dismay that these were things he was indeed capable of doing.
Emperor Tai'an glanced at Xiao Yi, who was intently watching the large screen, gritted his teeth, clutched his heart which was pounding with fear, and began to quietly retreat out of the hall.
Just as they were about to reach the palace gate, Xiao Yi stretched lazily and said, "That felt great!"
Xiao Yi suddenly stood up and waved to Emperor Xiaokang and Emperor Mingguan: "We've been sitting here for half a day, it's time to get up and stretch our bodies."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xiaokang and Emperor Mingguan immediately understood and turned their gazes to Emperor Tai'an, who was standing at the door.
Danger!
Emperor Tai'an felt his hair stand on end under the gaze of the three men, and disregarding everything else, he turned around and tried to flee.
Just as his hand was about to touch the door, Emperor Xiaokang and Emperor Mingguan grabbed his collar with lightning speed from the left and right, pulling him back forcefully.
boom!
Emperor Tai'an was thrown hard to the ground. Emperor Mingguan slowly bent down, a playful smile on his lips, his eyes piercing: "Son! Where do you want to go?"
Emperor Tai'an's gaze swept quickly over the three of them, finally settling on Emperor Mingguan's face. He forced a smile that looked more like a grimace: "Father...Father, I am your own son."
Emperor Mingguan nodded slightly: "That's why I'll go first!"
After saying that, Emperor Mingguan threw a punch, which hit Emperor Tai'an squarely in the face. Emperor Tai'an screamed in pain. Before he could recover from the blow, Xiao Yi and Emperor Xiaokang's punches and kicks rained down like a storm.
Emperor Tai'an rolled on the ground in pain, trembling as he stretched out a hand to Xiao Ruofeng: "Ruofeng, please come and save your father!"
"..." Xiao Ruofeng, who had originally wanted to watch the excitement, silently turned his attention back to the big screen.
"Xiao Ruofeng, your father treated you very well in the past! How dare you stand by and watch someone die!" Emperor Tai'an angrily rebuked Xiao Ruofeng. Before he could finish his tirade, Emperor Xiaokang punched him against the wall with a dull thud, and dust fell from the wall.
Hearing the commotion inside the hall, Xiao Ruojin, who was outside the door, felt a tremor in her heart and dared not make any rash moves.
After a short while, the hall finally quieted down.
Emperor Xiaoyi, Emperor Xiaokang, and Emperor Mingguan straightened their disheveled clothes, looked refreshed, and returned to their seats to continue watching the film.
Then I looked up—
Xiao Ruojin, accompanied by the imperial physician, a group of members of the imperial clan, and high-ranking officials, rushed to Qingping Palace. She stepped forward and gently pressed Emperor Tai'an down, tears welling in her eyes, and choked out, "Father, what's wrong? Please speak!"
"Father, please don't let anything happen to you!"
Emperor Tai'an stared at Xiao Ruojin, his face flushed red, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Seeing that she was about to suffocate, Xiao Ruojin finally let go and repeatedly asked the imperial physician to come forward and treat her.
The imperial physician dared not delay and hurriedly stepped forward to treat the patient, administering acupuncture and medicine.
A moment later, the imperial physician knelt before Xiao Ruojin, his face filled with grief, and said, "Your Highness, His Majesty has passed away."
Everyone: ...
Wuhu!
good news!
The group tried to hold back, but in the end they couldn't help themselves and burst out laughing.
Although for a moment when their consciences condemned Xiao Ruojin's filial impiety at the instant Emperor Tai'an died, this feeling quickly vanished.
Although Xiao Ruojin eliminated several of his brothers in succession, Emperor Tai'an's death was partly due to anger.
But everyone here is an emperor. Before ascending to the throne, who didn't eliminate a few brothers who stood in their way?
Since everyone is corrupt, let's stop pointing fingers at others.
Moreover, given Emperor Tai'an's temperament, if he were to continue living, who knows what kind of trouble he might cause.
So it's better if he dies. We should hurry up and let 'Xiao Ruojin' ascend the throne so that we can start unifying the world as soon as possible. That's the important thing.
Sure enough, after Xiao Ruojin ascended the throne, he began to systematically advance the comprehensive plan he had prepared beforehand, showing great efforts to improve people's livelihoods, then set about controlling the martial arts world, promoting culture and education, and rapidly and naturally changing the world.
In just five short years, that world has undergone earth-shattering changes.
Although the part between Baili Dongjun and Yueyao was a bit tiresome, they didn't take up much screen time, so everyone naturally overlooked it.
Only Xiao Ruofeng, seeing himself in the scene having let Yueyao go, and his brother showing no sign of blame, was instantly moved to tears.
"Brother, you don't blame me?" Xiao Ruofeng looked up, his gaze fixed on Xiao Ruojin's eyes, as if seeking a definite answer.
Xiao Ruojin chuckled softly and nodded: "You must have your reasons for doing this. If I could only trust one person in this world, it would definitely be you. Because I know you would never harm me."
"Brother!"
Xiao Ruofeng, who had been holding back his tears, finally couldn't hold them back and they fell.
Having experienced the distrust and fratricide of his brothers, the Prince of Langya was particularly fond of the brotherhood depicted in the painting.
Father, like son!
Even though Xiao Ruofeng could see that 'Xiao Ruojin' had her own schemes, he could also sense that the other party's trust in him in the picture was definitely not feigned.
Just as Xiao Ruofeng was feeling heartbroken, Emperor Xiaokang suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Which scoundrel spread such a rumor?"
The scene on the big screen had moved five years into the future, showing Xiao Ruojin and Xiao Ruofeng sitting across from each other playing chess and discussing the attack on the Northern Barbarians and the Southern Jue.
Unexpectedly, as they were chatting, 'Xiao Ruojin' suddenly changed the subject:
