Chapter 285 The End of Revenge
Everyone present was shocked by the scene before them. They couldn’t believe that the emperor they had been bowing to for several months was actually a fake.
Those who had previously associated with Zhao Detian and done many wrong things were so frightened that they trembled all over and knelt on the ground, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Leng Yiyan looked at the fake emperor who was shaking like a sieve and spoke with gritted teeth.
"If I don't kill you, it won't be enough to appease the people's anger..."
"what!"
After leaving these words, he raised his sword and slashed the fake emperor's head. Luo Nianxi was so scared that she turned her head to the side and closed her eyes.
Su Yi and Ling Yun brought Zhao Detian and Wang Wu to him again.
When Wang Wu, who had just woken up from the effects of anesthesia, saw the person in front of him clearly, he was so scared that he shrank back and stammered,
"You...you're not dead...how could it be..."
"Snapped!"
He kicked him in the chest, then raised his chin and glared at him.
"You are just a little eunuch, and you want to kill me? Today I will let you know the consequences of attempting rebellion."
After saying this, he waved his hand.
"Come here, this Wang Wu is extremely evil, and he shall be sentenced to death by being torn into pieces by five horses."
Hearing this, Wang Wu trembled and collapsed to the ground.
At this time, Zhao Detian already knew his fate. He closed his eyes, knelt there, and said nothing.
"Zhao Detian, you have brought disaster to the court and harmed the people. If we don't kill you, it will not be enough to appease the people's anger."
After saying this, he raised his sword again and executed Zhao Detian on the spot. Then, he quickly ordered:
"Hang the bodies of this fake emperor and Zhao Detian on the city wall for public display, and confiscate the property of all those who have formed a clique with him and exile them."
In a moment, dozens of guards rushed in and cleaned up the corpses on the ground. The place instantly returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
At this time, several guards brought in a brand new dragon robe. Leng Yiyan stretched out his arms and put it on directly. Then he slowly ascended the throne and sat on the long-lost dragon throne.
Seeing this, the ministers at the scene knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Your Majesty, we are stupid and didn't know this emperor was a fake. Please have mercy on us."
"Please have mercy, Your Majesty..."
"Please have mercy, Your Majesty..."
"..."
The ministers' voices begging for mercy came one after another...
He looked at the person kneeling below with a fiery gaze and suddenly spoke,
"Pass on my decree. During my absence from the capital, all officials who have done evil to the court and the people will have their property confiscated and be exiled, regardless of the reason. The rest of the officials, if they are repentant, will all be demoted three levels and continue to be employed..."
At this point, he glanced at everyone.
"Where are the Shang family father and son?"
It turned out that in order to resist the fake emperor, the Shang father and son had been claiming to be sick and had not attended court.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone outside the hall shouted,
"Your Majesty, I am here."
Hearing this, everyone made way for them, and Shang Liren and his son Shang Ming came in, supporting Leng Yixing, whose hair was covered in dirt.
Seeing Leng Yixing's expression, Leng Yiyan's eyes suddenly turned red.
They came to the Highness, knelt down,
"Your Majesty, I originally thought that you had become insane, but I didn't expect that you were a fake emperor. I bow to you, Your Majesty!"
Obviously, the Shang father and son suffered great injustice in this matter.
Leng Yixing knelt there, pulling out the loose hair on his head with his hands, staring at Leng Yiyan blankly, and suddenly spoke,
"Fourth brother, is it really you? You're back? Are you really back?"
Hearing this, Leng Yiyan stood up from the dragon chair, walked quickly to him, and helped him up.
"Fifth brother, do you still remember fourth brother?"
Leng Yixing nodded heavily.
"Brother, in order to survive, I had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. I have embarrassed you. I am sorry."
It turned out that Leng Yixing was pretending to be crazy. He did this to prevent the fake emperor from killing him to silence him.
Leng Yiyan hugged him directly, shaking his head and choking with sobs:
"It's not shameful, as long as you are okay, it's okay. Fourth brother is late, I'm sorry, it's fourth brother who hurt you."
"Fourth brother, you are finally back. I thought I would never see you again in this life. I thought I would die in the prison."
Leng Yiyan patted him on the back, returned to the dragon throne, raised his arms and shouted,
"The decree of the imperial edict states that the father and son of the Shang family are loyal to the emperor and love the country. They will each be promoted two levels and rewarded with a thousand taels of silver. Leng Yifei, Su Yi, Jiang Hai, Ling Yun and other three thousand soldiers who accompanied me into the palace will also be rewarded. Prince Xing will resume his status as a prince and work with Prince Duan to manage government affairs with me. Prince Jin is old and should enjoy his old age. Prince Duan, Prince Xing and I will take care of him until his death..."
Hearing this, Leng Jin nodded repeatedly with tears in his eyes, and everyone bowed to express their gratitude.
Leng Yiyan glanced at everyone, and finally set his gaze on Luo Nianxi, and spoke again with a serious expression,
"I am able to come back alive this time and sit in this position again. I want to thank someone..."
When he said this, his eyes started to turn red.
"Since the day she came to my side, she has been like a beam of light, shining into my heart, reviving my dead heart and giving me the courage to live. She has saved me countless times and tolerated me countless times..."
When she heard this, Luo Nianxi's eyes began to turn red.
He knew that he was talking about her, and his eyes never left her.
The scene was completely silent, and everyone stood with their hands dropped, waiting for him to continue.
"This person is my wife Luo Nianxi, the most important person in my life. I swear here in front of everyone that if I dare to betray Luo Nianxi in this life, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."
Luo Nianxi looked up at him and kept shaking her head, signaling him not to swear such a serious oath.
He continued:
"Pass on my decree to re-enthrone Luo Nianxi as the queen and Leng Jinjie as the crown prince. The enthronement ceremony will be held together in three days."
The fake emperor before only issued an edict to appoint Jinjie as the crown prince, and no enthronement ceremony was held at all. Even if a ceremony was held, it was fake and should not be counted.
……
Everything returned to normal. After staying here for two days, the king and queen of Xuanyuan Kingdom also embarked on their journey back home.
Standing on the high tower again, looking at the huge imperial palace, Leng Yiyan was filled with emotion.
"My lady, even though it's only been a few months, it feels like centuries."
"Yes, I have experienced so many things during this period of time. I never want to have such an experience again."
"Madam, thank you."
He hugged her tightly and continued softly in her ear:
"I've also come to terms with the matter of Jinyu and Jinyan. No matter whose children they are, they have called us dad and mom for several years. Even if they return to their biological parents in the future, they are still our children."
She looked up at him and nodded gratefully.
'Thank you, my dear, for understanding me.'
"I have issued an order to search for Jinjie and Jinyu in Pingyang, and have asked Suyi and Jiang Hai to lead people out to look for them. I believe they will be found sooner or later."
