Chapter 824: The Ingenuity of the Heaven and Earth Dagger
"Murong Lian!"
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?!"
Emperor Qiwen gritted his teeth, his face full of anger and shame, as if someone had exposed the darkness in his heart, and he felt a mixture of shame and reluctance to accept it.
"If you kill me, will you be able to deny all this?"
"Killing me will only prove that you are guilty!"
Besides, would he dare to kill him?
How many of the weapons in the Apocalypse Army came from his Tianji Pavilion? Didn’t he have a count himself?
Emperor Qiwen had a gloomy face, his mind felt like it was about to explode, and the severe pain made his muscles tremble uncontrollably.
He held his forehead slightly and sat back in his chair with the help of Liu Qin.
"Murong Lian, I will not kill you because of our past friendship, but you, don't be too proud!"
"I will discuss the matter between you and the Queen with you in detail when the time comes!"
Murong Lian smiled and said, "Indeed, today, I, the Pavilion Master, was invited by Prince Li to come here to verify the authenticity of the Heaven and Earth Dagger."
"After all, I also want to know if there is a kind of father in this world who would kill his sons one after another with his own hands!"
"As the saying goes, 'Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs.' Even wild animals know how to protect their own children, so how much more so for humans?"
Yes, he was mocking Emperor Qiwen and calling him worse than an animal!
He ignored Emperor Qiwen's ugly face and walked straight towards Zhu Guangzheng.
He had an extraordinary temperament. He lowered his eyes slightly and recognized the two listening daggers in Zhu Guangzheng's hands at a glance.
"The left side is true, the right side is false."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Guangzheng's expression changed. The sword in his right hand was indeed the one given to him by Eunuch Yang Cai.
Baili Moyan walked over angrily, took the two daggers and compared them carefully, but no matter how he looked at them, he felt that the two daggers were exactly the same!
"You can tell which one is real and which one is fake just by looking at it?"
Murong Lian glanced at him, then took the real dagger from Zhu Guangzheng's hand, and took the Tianxing dagger from the tray on the other side.
I don’t know what switch he pressed, but then the handles of the two daggers unexpectedly changed ingeniously, with different hollows appearing on each side.
After a moment, he put the two daggers together, and a magical scene happened.
"The two daggers actually merged into one!!"
Even Emperor Qiwen was shocked by this scene.
Back then, when the Queen gave him this pair of daggers, she never told him that the daggers had this function!
He looked at the queen, but her expression remained unchanged, as if she had known about this function for a long time.
In fact, after the Heaven and Earth Dagger was combined into one, it had another function: after pressing a switch, the dagger could be extended and turned into a short sword, which could cut through iron like mud and was unmatched!
"The real dagger, the Diting Dagger, has this function. The fake one doesn't. Prince Nanyu, there's no need for me to explain anything else, right?"
He had made this short sword for her to defend herself, but he never expected that she would actually give it to Baili Fengjue...
It seems that she really loved him back then!
It's a pity that the more you loved someone in the past, the more you should hate him now, right?
When Baili Fengjue took concubine after concubine, he once asked her, "Are you willing?"
Her face was slightly unnatural, and then she forced a smile, "He is the emperor, it is impossible for him to want only me as his woman! Even if he is willing, the officials will not agree!"
He knew at that time that she was disappointed and heartbroken, but her naturally strong character made her say only this in front of him.
Baili Moyan looked at the fake dagger and suddenly thought of someone. He looked at Baili Moqing and asked, "Shu Yuanqi, is he your man?!"
Baili Moqing raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Shu Yuanqi is my wife's biological brother, so he can't be from another family."
This statement can be regarded as an acknowledgement of Shu Yuanqi's identity.
Baili Moyan's expression changed again and again, "So, you asked Shu Yuanqi to give me this fake dagger?"
Why did he do this?
“When I give it to you, it’s real.”
At the beginning, the fourth brother said that he would give the Di Ting dagger to Baili Moqing, but until his death, he never told him where the dagger was.
Later, it was Fu Qingrong who took out the dagger.
She originally wanted to take the dagger to Fu Ying for protection, but Fu Ying was unable to protect himself, so he refused her entry.
Later, when she came back, she was seen by Shu Yuanqi.
After the fourth prince died, Shu Yuanqi never left the Fourth Prince's Mansion because Baili Moqing wanted him to help find the dagger.
He searched for a long time but couldn't find it, but unexpectedly, he got it in the end without any effort.
After getting the Di Ting dagger, Shu Yuanqi went to find Baili Moqing immediately, but when Baili Moqing learned that he still wanted to move to the Ninth Prince's Mansion, he decided to give the dagger to him.
This fake one was made by Shu Yuanqi when Baili Moyan was not paying attention. He stole the dagger and made a fake one for Baili Moqing, and then replaced it with another.
This is also the reason why Baili Moyan never realized that the dagger was fake.
After learning that he had been cheated, Baili Moyan simply wanted to hack Shu Yuanqi to death with a knife!
He gritted his teeth and asked in confusion, "Since you have the real dagger, why did you bother with this?"
Baili Moqing looked at Emperor Qiwen and said calmly, "If I don't do this, how can my father, who is always suspicious, be at ease with me?"
Indeed, Emperor Qiwen secretly rejoiced when he got the Di Ting dagger back.
After all, this Di Ting dagger is the biggest flaw and physical evidence in the death of the second brother. It would be best if it could be destroyed or returned to his hands!
But when he asked Lao Si to return the dagger, he refused. From that moment on, he felt dissatisfied and wary of Lao Si.
Therefore, in the days that followed, no matter how much importance the fourth prince received on the surface, he could never be the true heir to the throne!
Baili Moyan glanced at Emperor Qiwen, then argued, "Even if Second Brother's death was truly caused by the Di Ting dagger, that only means Fourth Brother killed Second Brother! What does this have to do with Father?"
"Seventh brother, Father only gave the dagger to Fourth brother. As for what Fourth brother does with the dagger, that is beyond Father's control."
"Isn't it?"
After hearing this, all the officials started discussing again, and most of them said that Baili Moyan's statement was reasonable and made sense.
Even Emperor Qiwen showed some recognition and satisfaction with his words.
This is the most unverifiable point. Lao Jiu, you still have some brains.
Baili Moqing didn't say anything. Just when everyone thought that Prince Li could not refute his words, another voice came from outside the hall.
"I can prove that the Fourth Prince's attempt to murder the Second Prince was ordered by His Majesty the Emperor himself!"
