Chapter 347 Pei Heng, save me!
Seeing that the people outside were about to come in, Tuoba Rao waved his hand and took his men to find a place to hide.
Several guards carried the unconscious Emperor Jingde in, placed him on the bed, and then left.
Prince Kang and Concubine De followed in.
"Your Majesty! Wake up! Don't scare me!" Defei covered her eyes and cried hypocritically. She wanted to squeeze out a few tears but failed, so she secretly smeared them with some saliva.
King Kang fell on Emperor Jingde and shouted loudly:
"Father! Father, please wake up!"
Then he turned to Shun Dajian and said:
"Where's the imperial physician? Why hasn't the imperial physician come yet?"
Shun Dajian was so nervous that he kept wiping his sweat. "I sent someone to urge them. I don't know what's wrong with the Imperial Hospital today. They're so slow to arrive!"
King Kang said angrily:
"You bunch of slave dogs, you don't care about our father's body at all. If anything happens to our father, all of you slave dogs will be buried with him! Why don't you go and urge them in person!"
Shun Dajian was scolded by King Kang.
He glanced at Emperor Jingde lying on the bed with concern, stomped his foot and walked out.
As soon as Shun Dajian left, King Kang changed his attitude.
"Father, your performance today has truly exceeded my expectations. Don't worry, I will send you off right away."
As he spoke, he pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed it directly into Emperor Jingde's heart.
As soon as Shun Dajian left the inner hall, he heard Concubine De scream, and then the voice of Prince Kang came:
"Assassins! There are assassins!"
There was a loud clanging sound inside. When Shun Dajian turned around and ran back, he saw Prince Kang carrying a candlestick and wrestling with several men in black. The imperial guards who rushed in immediately joined the battle.
Shun Dajian hurried to look at the bed and saw a dagger stuck in Emperor Jingde's chest, with blood spitting out of his mouth.
"emperor!"
Shun Dajian shouted in grief, rushed forward and pounced on Emperor Jingde.
"Imperial doctor! Call the imperial doctor quickly!"
Dozens of imperial guards surrounded the man in black in the bedroom, and soon only Tuoba Rao was left.
"Your Highness, he is from Beimang!"
The imperial guards tore off the dead man's mask and reported in a stern voice.
Of course it’s Beimang people!
It was King Kang who put it in intentionally.
Looking at Tuoba Rao who was surrounded, a cold light flashed in King Kang's eyes:
"Princess Beimang stole secrets and assassinated Emperor Daqi. Kill her without mercy!"
"Yes!"
Imperial Guard
Tuoba Rao never thought that he would be so unlucky today.
Not only was she caught stealing a blueprint, she was also falsely accused of assassinating Emperor Nanqi, even though she hadn't even touched the Emperor!
She touched the blueprint in her arms and it seemed that she would not be able to leave here alive today.
Just when she was about to be killed on the spot, she suddenly saw a group of people rushing over from outside. Pei Heng was among them and immediately shouted:
"Pei Heng! Save me!"
……
Compared to the chaos at the scene, this sentence is even more bizarre.
Everyone present knew that Tuoba Rao and Pei Heng were sworn enemies who would fight to the death if they met.
Tuoba Rao actually asked Pei Heng to save her?
Duke Yong, Prince Heng, Marquis Yong'an and others rushed in, instantly filling the bedroom to the brim.
Seeing more and more people coming, King Kang became anxious. He glared at the commander of the imperial guards and roared:
"Catch him now, King!"
The commander of the imperial guards had already defected to King Kang and immediately drew his sword and personally joined the battle. Tuoba Rao was unable to withstand the blows and collapsed to the ground after being slashed countless times.
At the same time, Prince Su, Concubine Jiang, the eldest princess, Prince Heng and others had already rushed to the side of Emperor Jingde. When Concubine Jiang saw the condition of Emperor Jingde, she decisively started to rescue him.
Pei Heng glanced at the scene, and with a vague suspicion in his mind, he grabbed the candlestick at hand and smashed it behind him, while shouting decisively:
"Leave people under the knife!"
The sword of the commander of the imperial guards had already reached Tuoba Rao's head, but with a ding sound, his palms trembled and the sword in his hand was knocked off course by a flying candlestick.
Pei Heng rushed forward in a flash, blocked Tuoba Rao's way, and grabbed her collar.
"Why do you want me to save you?"
Tuoba Rao was dying, and he spat a mouthful of blood on his hand. He smiled miserably and whispered:
"Pei Heng, you still can't bear to leave me after all."
"Bullshit, tell me, what exactly are you going to do?" Pei Heng tightened his grip dejectedly.
"Save me, and I'll tell you a huge secret. It'll be absolutely worth it!"
Tuoba Rao's mind raced. Prince Kang was going to frame her for the crime of patricide, and she would surely die if she fell into Prince Kang's hands.
Although Pei Heng was her mortal enemy, she also knew that Pei Heng was upright, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and would never be loyal to King Kang, who killed his father and usurped the throne.
Right now, only by relying on Pei Heng can one win a chance of survival.
As long as we can escape from King Kang's clutches, everything will be fine.
As soon as Tuoba Rao finished speaking, Prince Kang behind her raised his knife and stabbed directly at her.
"Witch! You killed my father, and yet you're still here spreading lies to confuse the people! Pei Heng, don't be foolish enough to be bewitched by this witch! Witch, die!"
"Your Highness!" Pei Heng suddenly shouted, "Tuoba Rao has been captured. Why not listen to her and make a final decision?"
Pei Heng stood in front of Tuoba Rao with a solemn and resolute expression, shocking King Kang so much that he suddenly stopped moving.
Tuoba Rao curled his lips and smiled.
This bet paid off.
She fell to the ground, silently shrank behind Pei Heng, and looked at King Kang provocatively.
This glance made King Kang break out in a sweat.
According to the plan, Tuoba Rao should have been a cold corpse by now.
But now...
He underestimated Tuoba Rao's cunning and fighting ability, and also underestimated Pei Heng.
He didn't expect Pei Heng to come so quickly and bring so many people with him.
"Pei Heng! You're so protective of her. Have you already been colluding with the Beimang witch? You two are basically in the same group!"
King Kang was anxious.
Right now, he had to find an opportunity to kill Tuoba Rao no matter what to prevent her from saying anything.
Cui Xiang also pressed on:
"General Pei, it's a fact that the witch stole the confidential blueprints and assassinated the emperor. Why are you shielding her?"
"shelter?"
Pei Heng snorted coldly, "Aside from Prince Kang and Consort De, Tuoba Rao was the only person present at what happened here. I just wanted to get the truth. How can I cover it up?"
Originally, he just had some doubts in his heart, but King Kang's relentless pressure deepened his doubts. Perhaps the things before their eyes were not as simple as they seemed.
"Not bad!"
Duke Yong and Marquis Yong'an also pushed through the crowd and stepped forward, standing on Pei Heng's left and right, hiding Tuoba Rao behind them.
"It's just a few words, why are His Royal Highness Prince Kang and Prime Minister Cui so anxious?"
Seeing this, Pei Heng turned around and squatted again.
"Go ahead."
Tuoba Rao did not speak, but said quietly:
"I want you to swear on your wife and children! If I tell you the secret, you must save my life and let me return to Beimang!"
