Chapter 297 Su Yinyin Kills Murong Yu
Everyone was stunned. Su Yinyin's brows furrowed instantly, and her gaze was as sharp as a blade as she stared straight at Murong Yu.
Her tone was tinged with disbelief and urgency, "Murong Yu, why are you doing this? Do you think this will prevent the truth from coming to light?"
Murong Yu gritted his teeth, his cheeks puffing out slightly from the effort, his eyes revealing a resolute ruthlessness, like a cornered beast fighting back. "I won't let you succeed so easily. If you force me, I'm capable of anything."
The emperor sat majestically on the dragon throne, his face as gloomy as the dark clouds before a storm, terrifying beyond measure. "Murong Yu, are you openly threatening me?"
Do not forget that this is the imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I am the ruler of this land.
If you continue to be so stubborn, don't blame me for disregarding the relationship between our two countries and dealing with you ruthlessly.
Murong Yu was well aware that he was in a predicament like prey trapped in a desperate situation, facing immense hardship.
But he was truly unwilling to accept that everything he and his mother had painstakingly planned over the years had been destroyed in an instant.
Thinking that his mother had died without a burial place, and that he himself...!
Murong Yu felt a surge of panic, and his body trembled slightly with excitement.
He absolutely did not want to die. Even if he could not realize his ambition to dominate the Three Kingdoms, he could never lose his noble status as a prince of the Great Yan Kingdom.
what to do? what to do? what to do?
Murong Yu's mind was a jumble of thoughts, with various ideas flashing through his mind, but he could not find a feasible solution.
He was extremely anxious, his eyes darting around frantically. Suddenly, he caught sight of his aunt, as if he had grasped at her last straw.
However, when he looked at his aunt, he found that her eyes were blurry and she looked at a loss.
Murong Yu felt a chill in his heart, instantly realizing that he couldn't count on his aunt.
At this critical moment, Murong Yu had a sudden inspiration and remembered that he and Regent Zhou Yuan were born of the same mother.
He thought to himself, no matter what, Zhou Yuan, as his elder brother, should be able to save him, right?
As long as his elder brother, Regent Zhou Yuan, is around, even if he can't return to the Great Yan Kingdom, he can probably still live a life of luxury in the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Murong Yu took a deep breath, suppressing the fear and panic in his heart, and slowly said, "Your Majesty, all I know is that besides Zhou Yuan, my mother has another son in the Great Zhou Kingdom. His name is...!"
Before she could finish speaking, Su Yinyin reacted swiftly, a flash of cold light, and her soft sword shot out like lightning, directly severing his throat.
Murong Yu's eyes widened in shock and resentment. He swayed a few times before slowly collapsing in front of Regent Zhou Yuan, blood spreading across the ground.
Everyone was stunned by Su Yinyin's sudden action, and the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.
How could Su Yinyin let Murong Yu reveal Su Jianguo's name?
After all, Zhou Yuan, Murong Yu, and Su Jianguo are all siblings from the same mother, and Su Yinyin is Su Jianguo's younger sister.
If this complicated relationship is exposed in public, how will she and Zhou Yuan's son face the consequences?
How can one live a normal life in a world filled with rumors and gossip?
Regent Zhou Yuan looked at Murong Yu lying at his feet, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
In fact, even if Su Yinyin didn't do it, he would have done it himself without hesitation.
Because he and Su Yinyin were of one mind, he absolutely could not allow his son to fall into those irredeemable rumors and gossip.
The ministers, ladies, and noblewomen present were all terrified by Su Yinyin's bold move, their faces turning pale.
The fact that a prince of the mighty Yan Kingdom was beheaded in the very court of the Zhou Kingdom is an earth-shattering event.
The emperor was so angry that his face turned ashen. He slammed his hand on the table, causing the teacups to jump.
He roared, "Su Yinyin, what do you mean by this? Why did you rashly kill Murong Yu? He was about to reveal crucial information, but you…!"
The woman who had impersonated the empress finally snapped out of her shock.
Upon seeing Murong Yu lying dead on the ground, she let out a shrill scream and rushed over without thinking. She frantically covered the sword wound on Murong Yu's neck with both hands, trying to stop the blood from gushing out.
However, blood gushed out from between her fingers like a spring, and she couldn't stop it no matter how hard she tried.
At this moment, all that remained in her eyes was endless fear and despair; the arrogant demeanor she had displayed when she first entered the hall was gone.
Princess Siran stood there dumbfounded, watching helplessly as Murong Yu was killed by Su Yinyin right before her eyes.
He seemed to have lost his soul; his eyes were vacant, and his body was as stiff as a wooden sculpture.
Su Yinyin's expression was solemn. She slowly sheathed her soft sword and bowed to the emperor.
His voice was steady yet sincere, “Your Majesty, please calm down. Yinyin’s actions were truly out of necessity.”
Please, Your Majesty, take these people away first. Yinyin is willing to truthfully explain the most secret reasons to Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager.
Su Yinyin knew in her heart that only by being honest and handing over the evidence to His Majesty could she truly put His Majesty at ease.
After listening to Su Yinyin's words, the Empress Dowager nodded slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of understanding and approval. "Yinyin has always been a thoughtful and meticulous child. She must have made this reluctant decision after weighing the pros and cons."
Your Majesty, things have come to this point, and this is the only way.
The Empress Dowager has spoken up for Su Yinyin, so the Emperor will give his mother face no matter what.
The ministers who had originally wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble for Su Yinyin were now too frightened to utter a sound and all suppressed their ulterior motives.
Although the emperor appeared to be furious, it was clear to anyone with eyes to see that this was merely a show for outsiders.
After a moment's thought, the emperor felt that Su Yinyin's words made sense, so he slowly said, "Very well, since that's the case, then imprison this woman who is impersonating the empress and Princess Siran in the dungeon and keep her under strict guard. There shall be no slack in her duties."
After saying this, the emperor glanced at the ministers present and continued, "That's enough for today. You may all leave."
Then, the emperor pointed to Su Yinyin and the regent and said, "You two, come with me to the imperial study."
After the guards took the woman and Princess Siran away, the imperial study fell into a deathly silence.
The Emperor and Empress Dowager watched Su Yinyin and Zhou Yuan silently. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was so heavy it seemed like water could drip from it, making it hard to breathe.
