"Bang——" Ling Tian pushed the door open, and the prince quickly put away the shock on his face, sitting upright, his face flustered but trying to remain calm.

When Ling Tian's figure suddenly came into view, the prince's pupils shrank suddenly, as if he saw an irresistible nightmare.

"Tell me!" Ling Tian said coldly, and his voice was like a sword tempered with ice, piercing people's hearts, "Why do you want to harm the princess?"

When the prince heard this, cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

He struggled to get up, but his knees bent involuntarily under the drive of fear, and finally he knelt heavily on the ground, hoarsely: "Mercy!".

"I was ordered by Empress Wu to do everything! She was afraid that the princess would hinder the succession of the prince, so she asked me to kill you on the way!"

Ling Tian looked down at him, his eyes cold and deep: "Empress Wu? So, you have already planned this conspiracy against the princess?"

Wang Sun nodded vigorously, his face full of regret and despair: "Yes, but I really never thought of hurting the princess, but I was controlled by the queen and had to obey."

Xuanyuan Jinghong walked forward, tears in his eyes but unusually calm: "Wang Sun, as a close minister of my father, you actually betrayed me to this extent. I am so disappointed!"

She raised her hand, and a string of crystal tears fell on the floor, breaking into countless tiny splashes of water.

Ling Tian's face became more gloomy after hearing Wang Sun's confession, and his eyes were as deep and cold as the abyss.

The Zhutian Sword in his hand showed a layer of cold light, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Wang Sun's throat. The cold sword energy almost froze the air and suffocated people.

He pursed his lips tightly, and his voice was low and firm: "I'll give you one last chance, tell the truth!"

Xuanyuan Jinghong was shocked when she saw this scene. She looked at Ling Tian's rare resolute look, and her heart was in turmoil.

Could it be that Wang Sun just said something false?

How is this possible?

He still lied when his neck was pressed! What is he hiding?

Facing Ling Tian's aggressive momentum, Wang Sun's face showed a desperate madness.

"What do you mean?" Ling Tian's eyes were like the abyss, staring at Wang Sun coldly.

The tip of the sword was only a millimeter away from Wang Sun's throat. The cold air penetrated the sword and directly hit Wang Sun's skin, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

Wang Sun's face was twisted into an extremely crazy look.

He widened his bloodshot eyes, and the hatred and despair in his eyes were intertwined, like the last struggle of a trapped beast.

He let out a sharp and shrill laugh, which echoed in the narrow space of the flying boat, making people shudder.

"Haha, Ling Tian, ​​you want me to tell you the truth? You are not worthy!"

"Tell you, even if I die"

Wang Sun gritted his teeth, and the madness in his eyes became stronger. He almost used up all his strength to shout out that sentence, "You all have to die!"

Before he finished speaking, Wang Sun suddenly stood up and faced the Zhutian Sword in Ling Tian's hand..

Although Ling Tian reacted very quickly, he was ultimately unable to completely stop his suicide. He could only watch Wang Sun's body crash into the tip of the sword, and his blood blossomed into a gorgeous red lotus in the air.

Xuanyuan Jinghong witnessed this scene with her own eyes, and was terrified.

She screamed, and instinctively wanted to stop all this from happening, but it was too late.

Her wide-open eyes were filled with shock and confusion, and she stood there in a daze for a long time.

Ling Tian held the Zhutian Sword steadily, and the blood on the sword slowly slid down the tip of the sword and dripped onto the deck.

He looked down at Wang Sun lying in a pool of blood, without a trace of pity in his eyes.

With a wave of his hand, he was about to forcibly pull out his soul, "Do you think that death will be the end of everything?"

But suddenly, Ling Tian's hand froze, paused for a moment, and then slowly let go.

This corpse has become a shell, with no soul inside.

"You've prepared everything!"

Ling Tian raised his lips: "Interesting!"

Ling Tian sheathed his sword, turned to Xuanyuan Jinghong, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Jinghong, the death of the prince does not mean the end, on the contrary, it may just be the beginning, you have to be prepared!"

"Why? Why did it turn out like this!"

Xuanyuan Jinghong looked sad, with deep despair.

"No egg is left intact when the nest is overturned!" Ling Tian said slowly: "Whether you like it or not, you will be affected."

"What should I do? Ling Tian! I... I'm so scared!"

Xuanyuan Jinghong no longer looked like a noble princess.

"Don't worry! I'm here! I won't let anyone touch a hair on your head!"

Ling Tian rubbed Xuanyuan Jinghong's head lovingly and comforted her.

"Hmm!" Xuanyuan Jinghong leaned gently in Ling Tian's arms.

Gradually, she had gotten used to that not-so-large but solid arm.

A gleam of brilliance flashed in Ling Tian's eyes.

After much effort, he finally got Xuanyuan Jinghong.

The rest was to find a time to make her look like him inside and out.

How about now?

This idea had already appeared, but Ling Tian passed it by himself. This was too naive!

This was no longer taking advantage of someone's misfortune, this was just shameless!

In the empty and solemn Corona Dynasty Hall, the air seemed to be as heavy as solidification, and only a few bright crystal chandeliers illuminated every corner of this ancient hall.

Xuanyuan Zhan, the ruler of the Sun Crown Dynasty who looked down on the world, had a gloomy face at this moment, and his eyes were filled with deep worry and anger.

He wore a dragon robe and a dazzling crown, but he could not hide the heaviness and grief in his heart.

In the hall, except for a few close attendants and trusted ministers, the empty space was more solemn and murderous.

At this time, an old minister of high moral character stepped forward and shouted indignantly."The Queen's move is really a wolfish ambition, an attempt to usurp the throne, a complete disregard for the court laws, and a violation of human ethics. This is clearly a rebellion!"

As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone held their breath, waiting for Xuanyuan Zhan's decision.

Hearing these words, Xuanyuan Zhan's face became even gloomier, his clenched fists trembled slightly, and his voice was as cold as iron: "You were the first to tear each other apart! Then don't blame me for not remembering our old friendship!"

His voice echoed in the hall, and every word was like a needle, piercing the heart of every minister present.

He glanced at the few people around him, his eyes full of determination and helplessness: "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, this king is unwilling to go this far."

"However, the country is above everything else. Anyone who dares to challenge the imperial power and subvert the dynasty will be severely punished!"

"Even if it is my lover or my blood relative, it is not allowed!"

After he finished speaking, the whole hall fell into a dead silence. The only thing that could be heard was the violent beating of everyone's heart and the deep worry about the coming storm.
