Martial Arts Crossover: Starting as a member of the Imperial Guard, all the ladies are demons

No sooner had he finished speaking than a squad of Imperial Guards rushed in from outside, but they were stopped by the Jinyiwei who suddenly appeared.

The situation changed abruptly, startling all the officials.

Xiao Jingyi, on the other hand, calmly picked up his wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

Then he looked at Xie Yu, who also saw him and immediately trembled in fright.

He then said, “Your Majesty, I know I am guilty, and my guilt is unforgivable. But I have always felt ashamed because there is a great crime that I have not mentioned. To this day, I cannot eat or sleep in peace.”

"Therefore, this guilty subject takes advantage of this opportunity to confess, in front of all the noble ministers, the heinous crime of deceiving the emperor and framing and killing loyal officials."

These words elicited varying reactions from the crowd.

Mei Changsu's face turned ashen, Yan Hou and the others narrowed their eyes, and the pupils of the other officials shrank.

They were all surprised because although Xiao Jingyi had informed them, he hadn't specified the details.

???

A new storm has arrived!?

Who is Prince Yi going to target this time?

Upon hearing this, Emperor Liang turned pale. As an emperor, how could he not know what case Xie Yu was referring to? He knew why he hadn't killed Xie Yu immediately.

Because of this case back then, Emperor Liang didn't dare to kill Xie Yu immediately, fearing that he would reveal it.

Emperor Liang narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Shut up! This is a state banquet, not a place for you to make a scene. Get out!"

"Take him away! Take him away!"

But Emperor Liang could only shout, because the imperial guards simply couldn't get in.

Xie Yu below was also startled, but after noticing Xiao Jingyi's gaze, he immediately braved Emperor Liang's anger and spoke.

“Your Majesty, more than twelve years ago, this sinful subject conspired with Xia Jiang to have a scholar surnamed Li deceive the monarch with the handwriting of Nie Feng, the vanguard general of the Mu Fang Chi Yan Army. This is the first of my crimes.”

"In order to substantiate the false accusations, cut off the source of correspondence... and frame Marshal Lin, this is the second crime."

“During the march, this guilty subject lied that Lin Xie was about to send troops to the capital, thus obtaining Your Majesty's military tally... This is the third of my crimes.”

"After the Meiling massacre, Xia Jiang and the guilty officials used the gold seal of Marshal Lin that had been seized to forge correspondence... This is the fourth crime."

"After the miscarriage of justice occurred, Xie Yu and the convicted officials blocked all channels for appeal... This is the fifth of their crimes."

“The five major crimes are absolutely true. I beg Your Majesty to clarify the injustice, follow the principles of Heaven, and issue an edict to retry the Chiyan case. Only if Your Majesty grants your permission will this guilty subject be able to find peace of mind.”

Xie Yu then loudly announced in the main hall that he had put down the large table.

Apart from Xiao Jingyi and Mei Changsu, who already knew what had happened.

When the others heard his retelling, they were all astonished, because they never expected that the old case of Chiyan would have such a bizarre story.

The Crimson Flame Army was wronged!

Prince Qi was also wronged!

The Chiyan Army did not die at the hands of foreign enemies, but instead fell at the hands of their own people.

After hearing about the case, everyone felt a chill run down their spines and exclaimed that it was earth-shattering.

So that's what it really was!

This is so exciting!

Upon learning the truth, everyone felt dizzy and their mouths went dry. They glanced at Emperor Liang and then at Xie Yu.

Then she looked at Xiao Jingyi.

When big shots clash, every move is a game-changer.

"You...you shut up! You're talking nonsense, all of it! Drag him away!"

"Drag him away!"

Emperor Liang shouted urgently, his face even turning red.

Because he knew that Xie Yu's actions were tantamount to tearing away his last fig leaf.

Even though the scheme was devised by Xie Yu and Xia Jiang, it was the emperor who ordered their execution.

So if anyone is at fault, it can only be him!

But no matter how much he smashed and wrecked, Xie Yu remained kneeling there steadily. In fact, if you looked closely, Xie Yu was trembling uncontrollably, clearly under immense pressure.

Those who had been on good terms with the Lin family and Prince Qi had tears welling up in their eyes.

But everyone sat there motionless, waiting for someone to move.

"Ugh."

Even though I already know the truth, I still find it hard to calm down when I hear Xie Yu say this.

Xiao Jingyi stood up, walked in front of Xie Yu, bowed and said, "Your subject believes that the Chiyan case is of great importance, concerning the face of the court and the 7 innocent souls."

"I hereby request that Father Emperor re-examine the case of Chiyan."

After speaking, Xiao Jingyi looked at Emperor Liang with a cold expression, and the aura he exuded was even stronger than that of Emperor Liang.

"You...you...."

Emperor Liang pointed at Xiao Jingyi: "I knew all of this was your doing. I never expected you would start with this. What a scheme, what a brilliant scheme!"

Emperor Liang slowly stepped down, then glared at the crowd and roared, "Besides him, who else among you dares to step forward?"

After these words were spoken, the hall fell silent for a moment.

Princess Nihuang stepped forward first: "Your Majesty, I believe Prince Yi's words are absolutely correct, and I implore Your Majesty to re-examine the Chiyan case!"

Upon seeing Princess Nihuang appear, Emperor Liang's pupils contracted.

But she quickly realized that Nihuang was head over heels in love with Xiao Jingyi, and now that he was about to cause trouble, she would definitely intervene.

Moreover, he also received news that Princess Nihuang had been staying at Prince Yi's residence these days.

After comforting himself for a while...

But the next moment, Cai Quan, that stubborn fellow, stepped forward, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, what Xie Yu said is shocking. If it is not thoroughly investigated, it will not be enough to stabilize the court and the people's hearts. I beg Your Majesty to grant His Highness Prince Yi's request."

"Effective immediately, the case of the Crown Prince and Lady Lin shall be retried to demonstrate His Majesty's wisdom and virtue."

Then Liu Chengyou came out and said, "Your Majesty, Chief Judge Cai is absolutely right. I agree."

Immediately afterwards, a large group of people came out and loudly proclaimed, "Your Majesty, I second that proposal!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Emperor Liang felt as if the world was spinning.

He never expected that Xiao Jingyi would have such great power, enough to get all the civil and military officials to support him in public.

At this point, how could he not know that Prince Yu's previous manipulation of the officials was probably a pretense, and that Xiao Jingyi was the one who truly controlled the officials!

Before he could react, Prince Ji stepped forward and muttered, "Your Majesty, I believe that the requests of these officials are quite reasonable. Please grant them permission."

Subsequently, Yan Hou, Meng Zhi, Mu Qing, and others stood up and spoke out.

Everyone is pleading for their lives!

At that moment, Emperor Liang felt as if the crowd was a raging flood rushing toward him.

His legs buckled and he almost fell, but Gao Zhan helped him stand up.

"Your Majesty, please take care of your health! Please take care of your health!"

"Go down!"

He angrily shook off Gao Zhan's hand, then slowly stood up, looked at everyone, and finally walked straight to Xiao Jingyi.

Why...did you do this?!

Emperor Liang's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Xiao Jingyi.

This is his incredibly intelligent and resourceful son.

He actually dared to tear off his last fig leaf in front of all the ministers.

He was angry, annoyed, and furious.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi faced Emperor Liang's angry glare without being affected and said in a deep voice, "Father, this case is about the truth and innocence."

"It's about 7 innocent souls, and it's about the reputation and honor of my elder brother and the Lin family."

"They have suffered injustice for many years, and I, your son, wish to seek justice for them!"

“…”

Upon hearing this, Emperor Liang was so angry that he trembled all over.

You dragged your father down with you in order to clear their names!

Emperor Liang stared with eyes like a commander, gritting his teeth as he said to Xiao Jingyi, "What if I don't agree? Are you going to force me to abdicate?"

Facing Emperor Liang's angry glare, Xiao Jingyi remained calm and said indifferently, "Father, the matter is settled."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Liang paused, knowing what Xiao Jingyi was referring to.

Having gone this far, it would be unreasonable for him not to agree to a retrial.

If this continues, things may get out of control.

By agreeing now, you save face for yourself and for others.

"Clang!"

Seeing this, Mao Xiang slowly drew his Embroidered Spring Blade.

"Mao Xiang".

Hearing the sound of the sword being drawn, Xiao Jingyi slowly reached out and pressed the sword back down.

He then looked at Emperor Liang and said, "Father, I know this case is of great importance. How about this, I will have someone speak with you?"

"What do you mean by this?"

Emperor Liang was taken aback, seemingly not understanding why Xiao Jingyi would suddenly say such a thing.

"Changsu, how about we go to the inner palace to talk?"

Mei Changsu was taken aback, not expecting Xiao Jingyi to call him at this moment.

"Mei Changsu..." Emperor Liang's gaze also turned to Mei Changsu, his eyes filled with scrutiny.

However, Mei Changsu quickly realized what Xiao Jingyi wanted him to do, so he did not refuse and immediately cupped his hands in greeting.

"it is good."

"In that case, let's go. Gao Zhan, help Father Emperor."

"Is that so, Your Highness Prince Yi?"

Then a group of people came to the back hall. After Gao Zhan helped Emperor Liang sit down, Xiao Jingyi greeted Emperor Liang and said, "Father, you probably don't know this yet, but Mei Changsu has another identity."

"Lin Shu, son of Lin Xie, is actually your nephew. You once held him while riding a horse and shooting arrows."

"What?! He's Lin Shu!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Liang's eyes widened, and he looked at Mei Changsu, seemingly trying to find a trace of Lin Shu from back then.

However, due to the Fire and Cold Poison, Mei Changsu's appearance was drastically altered, and he could not see any trace of his former self.

Xiao Jingyi explained, "He survived that conspiracy, but he was poisoned by the Fire and Cold Poison, which is almost incurable within the Great Liang territory."

"In order to clear his name of the injustice he suffered back then, he chose to have his bones broken and reconstructed. He was bedridden for more than a year to allow his bones and muscles to regenerate, which greatly changed his appearance. He was not expected to live much longer."

"Even now, I am plagued by illness."

Do you think he was wrong back then?

"this...."

Upon hearing Xiao Jingyi's words, Emperor Liang stared blankly at Mei Changsu, his expression complex.

"Father, do you not see those old friends every night? Those who risked their lives to save you and pushed you forward with their lives?"

"I...."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Liang was somewhat speechless.
