It turned out that he had not deliberately sought pity when he said that he had wanted to end himself countless times.
He really wanted to be free as soon as possible.
The Empress Dowager’s tears fell.
The King of the Southern Wilderness said, “Mother, don’t listen to these people’s nonsense!”
Su Xiaoxiao mocked calmly, “I’m not the one who’s talking nonsense. It’s you! Speaking of your illness, Cheng Su is not talented but knows a little about the
Qihuang technique. I’ve seen your medical case. Actually, you’re not sick at all! You don’t need the blood of your brother as a medicine catalyst. What you have is a mental illness!
“You must have suffered a lot among the commoners. When you heard that you were actually the younger brother of the current emperor, weren’t you surprised at first? However, after the surprise, your heart gradually twisted. You’re wondering why you were the one who was abandoned and not him? You began to be jealous and hate him. You wanted to kill him, but you felt that this was too easy on him. Why don’t you return the pain you suffered among the commoners ten times or a hundred times over and let him live a life worse than death? Only then would you have the pleasure of revenge. These were your evil thoughts.
“But you were conflicted. He’s your brother, and what happened back then was not his choice. You appeared with a goal, but he trusted and loved you without reservation. Killing such a brother will condemn what little conscience you have left. Therefore, you thought, let him live. At least let him live. You didn’t kill him. This is your kindness.
“When you have evil thoughts, you don’t want to admit your evil. When you struggle, you don’t want to accept your benevolence.
“That’s it. You were sick. You needed his blood. Your evil thoughts and struggles were reasonably self-consistent.”
The hall was silent again.
This time, they were not shocked by the secret exposed by Su Xiaoxiao, but by the shocking talent she displayed.
If she was making it up, that would be too impressive.
There was no flaw at all.
If she wasn’t making it up, it would be even more impressive.
—Even ministers like them could not see through His Majesty’s heart, but she, the little girl, accurately saw through it.
The three elders and Teacher Zhang were thinking, “d.a.m.n it! I really want to take in a disciple!”
The King of the Southern Wilderness said with a fierce gaze, “It’s fake! It’s all fake! No matter where you got this so-called evidence, my brother was already buried in the stomach of a beast more than 30 years ago! Don’t deceive me! Don’t deceive the Empress Dowager! Royal guards! Listen up and take them down! Kill anyone who disobeys!”
With such a huge commotion, the imperial guards were already waiting outside.
After receiving the order, the imperial guards immediately mobilized their archers and aimed an entire row of bows at Su Xiaoxiao and the others.
The King of the Southern Wilderness said sternly, “The Empress Dowager is poisoned. Bring her back to rest!”
The Empress Dowager roared with red eyes, “I’m not leaving! Kill me first if you dare!”
A royal guard came to the Empress Dowager and was about to forcefully take her away.
Su Xiaoxiao kicked him down. “Who do you think you are? You’re not worthy of touching the Empress Dowager!”
With the Empress Dowager here, the imperial guards did not dare to shoot. They could only take down Su Xiaoxiao and the others first.
Several guards rushed towards Su Xiaoxiao and Zongzheng Wei.
If they caught this woman and that weak man, the matter would be half resolved.
However, before they could touch a corner of Su Xiaoxiao’s clothes, they were sent flying by the Saintess’ whips.
A few guards were naturally no match for the Saintess.
However, at this moment, a black-clothed secret guard suddenly flew out from the aisle beside the King of the Southern Wilderness and headed straight for Su Xiaoxiao.
The Saintess sensed her master’s danger and took a step forward, blocking Su Xiaoxiao behind her. She whipped the other party.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually caught her whip.
Su Xiaoxiao frowned.
Those who could withstand the Saintess’s move were not ordinary secret guards.
Just as the Saintess was fighting with the other party, another black-clothed secret guard used his movement technique to come over.
He grabbed the Empress Dowager by the shoulder and led her out of the throne room!
Zongzheng Wei’s expression changed drastically. “Mother!”
Su Xiaoxiao finally realized the ident.i.ty of the two black-clothed secret guards.
They were the Ghost Shadow Guards beside the King of the Southern Border!
“So strong…” Su Xiaoxiao muttered. As she protected Zongzheng Wei, she looked at the Saintess who was fighting with the Ghost Shadow Guards.
The Saintess had yet to recover from her injuries.
But she did not seem to be at a disadvantage.
The two of them were top-notch experts, but the Saintess’ martial arts attainment was even better.
Su Xiaoxiao felt that she had picked up a treasure.
She would definitely make a few more boxes of snacks for Ling Yun later.
Well… three boxes, no more.
She could not raise the handsome master of the three little ones into a piglet.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The archers outside the hall released arrows at them.
Afraid of hurting themselves, the ministers retreated to the wall.
Su Xiaoxiao had already put on her silver gloves and received three arrows in each hand.
When the excess arrows flew at her, the Saintess who had dealt with a Ghost Shadow Guard descended from the sky and landed in front of her.
The Saintess waved her whip and got rid of more than ten arrows.
With another wave, the arrow was shot back like a hidden weapon.
The archers were sent flying and fell to the ground with screams!
When the Saintess was suppressed and beaten by Wei Xu, she almost thought that the Saintess was not very capable.
It turned out that it was just that her father-in-law was too powerful. If she did not consider her father-in-law, the Saintess could be the number one expert in the capital.
However, she was injured and her stamina probably could not last long.
The fight became more and more intense, and the ministers were evacuated to the aisles on both sides.
The officials wanted to save their lives, but they could not help but be curious.
Some generals loyal to the King of the Southern Wilderness also joined in the capture of Su Xiaoxiao and the others.
The pressure on the Saintess increased again.
A general picked up the sword on the ground and stabbed at Su Xiaoxiao.
The Saintess was entangled and could not attack in time. She could only block with her body.
Su Xiaoxiao grabbed the other party’s sword with one hand and bent it back!
Su Xiaoxiao said to the Saintess, “Don’t be injured either.”
The Saint was expressionless. “Yes.”
Such a good puppet had to be cherished.
However, no matter how good the Saintess was at fighting, she could not withstand a thousand troops.
5,000 imperial guards were gathered.
However, just as they were about to kill their way into the throne room, there was suddenly a riot at the entrance of the palace.
A guard vomited blood and fell into the throne room.. “Your Majesty! The Azure Dragon and Hidden Tiger tribes have charged in!”
