C2775 Fight to the Death
Consort Wu, who was still in grief, immediately felt resentment from the bottom of her heart when she saw her father's gaze.
Why did she want to poison and kill the Deceased Emperor back then? Wasn't it all because of her father's provocation? Wasn't it all to protect his father? Otherwise, why would he do that? After all, the Deceased Emperor had always treated him very well. He had always felt guilty for doing that.
What was the result?
In the end, her father betrayed her without any hesitation. To make her bear all the blame, Consort Wu was very clear about her current situation. Once she admitted to that matter... Then... Princess Qi would definitely not let him go. Furthermore, his matter would continue to spread, and his reputation might be tarnished for hundreds of years.
After all, killing the Emperor was not something that often happened, and it was not something that could be accepted by others. It was something that would be left behind for tens of thousands of years.
Thinking of this, the resentment in Noble Consort Wu's heart became even stronger, and she even had the idea of fighting to the death.
"The late emperor was indeed killed by me!" Noble Consort Wu said fiercely, her face filled with viciousness and resolution.
Princess Qi was startled when she heard Noble Consort Wu's words. She did not expect that... It was really Noble Consort Wu who did it. Although she had never liked Noble Consort Wu, however, she never thought that it was Noble Consort Wu who did it. After all, the relationship between Noble Consort Wu and her, Royal Brother, was quite good. She, Royal Brother, also treated Noble Consort Wu very well. Noble Consort Wu had no reason to make a move.
However, now that Consort Wu had personally admitted it, Princess Qi had no choice but to believe it. After all, this kind of thing was not a small matter. If it wasn't for Consort Wu, she wouldn't have admitted it.
After Wu Yan heard his daughter's words, his heart wasn't filled with guilt. Instead, it was a feeling of relief. He was really afraid that Noble Consort Wu would reveal him just now. If that was the case, he might not be able to leave this place alive today.
Now that Noble Consort Wu had taken over the matter, Princess Qi had no reason to make a move on him. His life could be considered to be saved.
As for Noble Consort Wu, Wu Yan didn't really care. He had already successfully taken over the entire Great Lu Dynasty. Noble Consort Wu was also useless. If she died, then so be it. Although it was a pity that a daughter died, however, in Wu Yan's heart... It was obvious that power and his own safety were more important. He only felt that it was a pity. He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with doing this.
"You heard it too, right? This was really done by her. It has nothing to do with me, I was wronged" Wu Yan said to Princess Qi and Huang Feng, "I am loyal to the Great Lu Dynasty and the late Emperor. Although I have made some mistakes, it is not a crime worthy of death. Princess Qi, let me go."
As long as he could escape, Wu Yan believed that he would have a way to eliminate Princess Qi and Huang Feng. No matter how strong Huang Feng was, it was useless. It all showed that arrows were easy to dodge, but difficult to defend against. He couldn't defeat Huang Feng in a head-on fight. However, there were other ways.
"Father, aren't you a little too anxious?" Princess Qi had yet to speak when Noble Consort Wu spoke. She saw that Wu Yan could not wait to cut ties with her. The hatred in her heart for Wu Yan deepened.
When Wu Yan heard his daughter's words and saw her expression, he suddenly had a very bad feeling in his heart.
"It's true that I was the one who killed the late Emperor, but the poison was given to me by this Minister Wu. He was also the one who told me to poison him." Sure enough, the unpleasant feeling in Wu Yan's heart had only just risen not long ago. Noble Consort Wu once again spoke to Princess Qi and Huang Feng.
"You are talking nonsense!" Wu Yan was furious. He did not have Consort Wu's current method of fighting to the death. Not only did she admit that she had killed the late Emperor, she even confessed to him. Clearly, she wanted to perish together with him.
"Don't listen to her. She has already gone crazy." Wu Yan said to Princess Qi and Huang Feng. As long as Princess Qi and Huang Feng didn't believe what Noble Consort Wu said, he would be fine.
"I have gone mad? If I am crazy, I will also be harmed by you!" Noble Consort Wu had already completely fallen out with her father. Since her father could not consider her feelings at all, with her current situation, there was no need for her to consider her father's situation. If she wanted to die, everyone would die together!
"Why did he do that?" Huang Feng asked Consort Wu.
"Because he lost the battle! The late emperor wanted to remove him from his position, but he didn't want to leave his position." Noble Consort Wu said, "Furthermore, there is another very important matter, and it is also because of that matter. The previous emperor, who originally intended to remove him from his position, now had the intention to kill him. And it was precisely because he knew that the previous emperor wanted to kill him. Therefore... That's why he decided to kill the Deceased Emperor first!"
"Nonsense, I didn't. You killed the Deceased Emperor. It has nothing to do with me. You crazy woman, you must be crazy! " Wu Yan was already mad. He didn't expect that Noble Consort Wu would give such a thorough explanation. She was really going to kill him.
"Think about it carefully. If I die, our Wu family will be finished!" Wu Yan warned Noble Consort Wu.
"What does that have to do with me?" Noble Consort Wu said disdainfully, "When you betrayed me, I no longer treated myself as your daughter, as a member of the Wu family!"
Concubine Wu was indeed worthy of being able to survive in the harem. Moreover, he was able to fight against so many concubines and enjoy the favor of the late emperor alone. This decisiveness and viciousness was incomparable to ordinary people.
"You, you..." Wu Yan pointed at Noble Consort Wu and was somewhat speechless. He also did not expect that Noble Consort Wu would be so decisive.
"What made me, Royal Brother, want to kill him?" Princess Qi asked doubtfully.
Princess Qi knew that she, Royal Brother, trusted and valued Wu Yan very much. Therefore, even if Wu Yan was defeated at the front line, she would not take his life. At most, she would just remove him from his position.
Therefore, Princess Qi was still very curious about what Noble Consort Wu was talking about. What exactly was it that made her Royal Brother insist on killing him?
Wu Yan once again looked at Noble Consort Wu with a warning look. He knew that once that matter was revealed, Princess Qi would absolutely not forgive him. At that time, he would really die.0
However, towards his gaze, Noble Consort Wu acted as if she did not see it. Instead, she looked at Princess Qi and said, "That matter is related to you?"
"Related to me?" Princess Qi became even more puzzled. Then, as if she had thought of something, she opened her eyes wide and looked at Noble Consort Wu and said, "Could it be related to marriage?"
"That's right!" Noble Consort Wu nodded and said, "It's about marriage. In fact, when the emissaries of the Fengjue Country came, they didn't think about the marriage alliance. It was Minister Wu who brought it up for them. Therefore, you were married to the Fengjue Country because of this Minister Wu. "
