Chapter 241: Kill The Prince In Front Of The Emperor! The Bottom Line Cannot Be Touched
The emperor came galloping all the way. Wherever he passed, the people, ministers and soldiers all knelt down and worshiped.
"Father is here!"
The third prince immediately stood up to greet him. Xiao Ruzhen also came to his senses and bowed to the emperor despite being far away.
Wei Qianqiu glanced at Lin Zijun and said in a message.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, the prince is the face of the royal family after all. I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter. Please also ask Fellow Daoist Lin not to act impulsively."
Lin Zijun pondered for a moment and nodded.
After a while, the emperor, Yang Zhong, and Chen Guozhi fell in front of everyone.
The prince's ministers of staff, who were trembling just now and hiding in corners without showing their heads, now all rushed over, knelt at the emperor's feet, cried and berated Lin Zijun.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, you are here, the prince... was almost beaten to death by this thief, you must seek justice for the prince.
"Yes, your Majesty, the prince is related to the country and the safety of the court. This person forced his way into the East Palace and attacked the prince. He obviously had the intention of treason. Your Majesty, please order this person to be killed immediately.
The ministers knelt on the ground and spoke to each other, exaggerating Lin Zijun's behavior. In addition, the prince Xiao Muzhen was still lying on the side with a bloody appearance, which made the emperor furious.
He looked at Lin Zijun angrily and was about to speak.
Wei Qianqiu stepped forward slowly, not knowing what he said through the message. The emperor's expression suddenly changed, and he was silent for a long time.
Yang Zhong and Chen Guozhi stood behind the emperor, looking shocked and confused.
They had been in contact with Lin Zijun for a short time and knew that he was by no means a cruel and unreasonable person. He was usually gentle, humble and polite to others, so why did he suddenly have a conflict with the prince.
Moreover, they had just returned to the court, and Lin Zijun had only returned to Luojing City for less than a day.
Yang Zhong thought for a while and stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, there must be a hidden secret in this matter. Why not wait until the prince wakes up and ask what happened before making a decision.
The emperor nodded.
"You take the prince back to his palace to recover from his injuries."
Yang Zhong and Chen Guozhi stepped forward immediately.
Lin Zijun said suddenly.
"Wait a minute«". "
Everyone immediately turned to look at him.
Lin Zijun said lightly.
"There is no need to send this minor injury back to the palace for treatment. Since His Majesty is here in person, it is just right. I will talk about the Crown Prince's crime here."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.
The emperor and Wei Qianqiu frowned and looked a little ugly.
Xiao Ruzhen, Yang Zhong and others looked surprised and confused as to what the "prince's crime" Lin Zijun was talking about.
The emperor said solemnly.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, you are a foreign monk. I treat you as a guest and give you the status of the highest guest minister without any restrictions on your freedom. But what you did today is really too reckless. The prince is the foundation of a country. Even if You can't say whether you are guilty or not.
Lin Zijun had already expected that the Emperor of Yue would favor the prince, so it was even more impossible for him to have Xiao Muzhen taken away.
"I dare to ask Your Majesty, according to the laws of the Yue Kingdom, if the emperor breaks the law, is it the same crime as the common people?"
The emperor was speechless.
At this moment, countless people in Luojing City are paying attention to this place, and of course the emperor cannot deny it.
Lin Zijun made such a big fuss just to block his mouth with Youyou's words, leaving the emperor speechless.
Although this would definitely offend the Yue Emperor, he didn't care at all.
Lin Zijun came to Xiao Muzhen's side in one step, pointed out, and quickly healed his injuries with the Dead Tree Rejuvenation Technique.
But this man was very smart. Even after his injuries healed, he still pretended to be unconscious.
Lin Zijun's consciousness was shaken, and Xiao Muzhen immediately hugged his forehead and let out a cry.
"Father...Father...you have to make the decision for your son!"
Xiao Mu really knew that he couldn't pretend anymore, so he crawled to the emperor's feet and kept kowtowing.
Lin Zijun stretched out his hand to grab Wu Qiu Feng, who had been repaired by a seal, and asked.
"Your Highness, do you know this person?"
Before Xiao Muzhen could reply, Yang Zhong and Chen Guozhi both changed their expressions and said in surprise.
"He is... General Wu. Isn't he already dead?"
Yang Zhong and Chen Guozhi were both veterans in the army and were quite familiar with this former colleague.
Wu Qiufeng's face turned pale and he had completely given up struggling.
Of course the emperor also recognized this person, and Wei Qianqiu just sent a message and said some amazing things.
He was very disappointed and angry with this prince.
If there were no outsiders here, he would have wanted to slap Xiao Muzhen to death, but at this moment, what he cared about was the face of the royal family, and the crime committed by the prince was unimportant.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, that's enough. I will arrange for someone to investigate the prince's matter. That's it for today..."
Lin Zijun shook his head.
"If Your Majesty wants to convict the Crown Prince at this moment, I can stop."
The emperor frowned and said solemnly.
"Are you forcing me?"
This sentence immediately solidified the atmosphere at the scene. Everyone's expressions changed. Xiao Ruzhen hurried forward to try to dissuade him.
Lin Zijun said without giving in.
".`Dragon has reverse scales, if you touch it, you will die. Xiao Mu really touched my bottom line and must die!"
As soon as these words came out, the scene was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, and everyone present, as well as those outside the East Palace, looked extremely solemn.
The emperor slowly clenched his fists and stared at Lin Zijun.
Wei Qianqiu had a helpless look on his face and sent a message to dissuade him.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, why are you forcing yourself so hard? I promise you that I will give you an explanation and I will never break my promise."
Lin Zijun did not answer.
It's not that he doesn't believe in Wei Qianqiu, but he doesn't believe in the Emperor of Yue.
Speaking of which, this was the first time they had met, and the prince was the emperor's biological son and the foundation of the country. Lin Zijun did not believe that the emperor would exterminate his relatives out of justice.
After all, no matter how important the dead are, they are not as important as the living. The prince is the prince after all. If he is allowed to leave today, it will be almost impossible for Lin Zijun to kill Xiao Muzhen.
The emperor said slowly with a gloomy face.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, if you want to kill the crown prince, you are going against me and the entire Yue Kingdom. Have you thought clearly?"
Lin (Wang Zhao Zijun) sneered and wanted to use the whole thing to suppress me?
He wasn't afraid at all.
"Lin has no intention of going against His Majesty and the Yue Kingdom, but Xiao Mu really must die."
No matter how hard it is, it is impossible to change this result, unless the ancestor of the Xiao family comes forward.
But he believed that as long as Xiao Mengxian showed up, he would definitely not fall out with Lin Zijun for the sake of so-called face.
After saying this, Lin Zijun raised his hand and grabbed Xiao Muzhen in the palm of his hand before everyone could react.
You dare!"
The emperor was furious and shouted: "I am hungry."
Lin Zijun showed no mercy and shattered Xiao Muzhen's head with one palm.
He didn't kill the prince as soon as he arrived, just to see the emperor's attitude.
If he has a better attitude, it can be discussed, but if he insists on protecting the prince, Lin Zijun will not hesitate to kill Xiao Muzhen.
No matter what happens, Lin Zijun wants the world to know that his bottom line cannot be touched!
