Chapter 1171 It's Not That Important After All

them and leave.But today, Su Yusheng's attitude towards her changed dramatically, from indifference to utmost respect. This was the best proof of what Big Brother had said."You're right, your sister-...Chapter 1171: It's Not That Important After All.

Fu Ming, where is your evidence These are all things Fu Yunxuan thought he could kill him tonight and his great cause would be accomplished for a while. He was blinded by success and said these things in front of him.

He walked before Yuan Buyu, his eyes colder than him a hundredfold.

"Evidence, Your Highness, I have none."

But if Yuan Xiang is innocent, I presume that Your Highness should have someone imitate his handwriting and write a letter to the King of Xixia. The King of Xixia probably wouldn't respond, right

At Yuan Buyu's words, his face paled slightly. Though it was just for a moment, it was enough for Fu Ming to see the change in his heart.

I never expected that Father's death was really related to Yuan Xiang!

"Yuan Buyu, how dare you collude with the enemy and plot against the late emperor!"

"Here! Bring Yuan Buyu here!"

The palace guards and attendants remained motionless. Fu Ming then realized that Yuan Buyu had long since gained control of the palace guards, even the emperor's personal guard didn't know when they had been bought by him and became his people.

The Imperial Guard not only disobeyed Fu Ming's order to arrest Yuan Buyu, but they all stood beside him and pointed their swords at Fu Ming.

The ministers were so frightened that they dared not speak, only Bai Guogong angrily stood up and shouted.

"Dare you! You have the audacity to point your swords at Seventh Highness."

"Yuan Buyu, are you rebelling"

Yuan Buyu let out two hearty laughs, "Rebellion Duke Guo, please don't wrongly accuse me. The fact that Seventh Prince wielded a weapon and killed the Second Prince is undeniable."

"There is both eyewitness and physical evidence, yet you still choose to listen to his lies and twist the truth, unjustly placing the blame on Yuan Moutou."

"Yuan [name] is nothing but a traitor who leads the Imperial Guard to sow chaos! Bring him down, you men! This brother-killer doesn't deserve to inherit the throne of Great Xi!"

Yes, Master!

Fu Ming watched as both the Imperial Guard and the Palace Guards obeyed Yuan Buyu's orders. His face changed instantly, could it be that he truly couldn't escape this disaster today

"Marquess Wuding, are you intending to meddle in this"

Just as the Imperial Guard made a move, Zong Yu stepped in front of Fu Ming. Fu Ming's expression was complex; he hadn't expected that Zong Yu and Fang Jinxiu would still be willing to help him at this point.

"Wuding Hou, thank you."

"Once I escape this calamity, I will definitely repay you in the future."

Zongyu shook his head. "No need, Your Highness. Just focus on yourself and the dawn of this nation's people."

With the phrase "reputation," Fu Ming felt as if he had swallowed a reassurance pill, and all his anxiety vanished in an instant.

"And our Guogongfu also supports the Seventh Prince. I'll see who dares to take a step forward!"

The Second Prince is dead, and the Xixia envoy has already fled back. Now that Daxī is in turmoil, both internally and externally, only the Seventh Prince ascending the throne can bring order to the chaos and stabilize the court.

"Are you all idiots Do you really want to rebel with Yuan Buyu, that old traitor"

Bai Guogong's words had some effect, at least some of the officials left Yuan Buyu's ranks and quietly took a side, seeming to want to remain neutral.

"Bai Guogong, who is the one who's rebelling"

"As the seventh prince killed his brother to usurp the throne, regardless of the order, even without Your Majesty's imperial decree for succession, this throne should rightfully belong to the eldest son of the empress. The second prince should be the one to inherit the throne."

When will it be the turn of the Seven Palaces to vie for power

"In Yuan's opinion, Seventh Prince knew his chances of vying for the throne were slim, so he took the opportunity to strike a fatal blow against Second Prince."

He suddenly pointed at Fu Ming and shouted, “He is the true culprit who wants to overthrow the imperial court!”

"If it weren't for Seventh Highness stepping forward to challenge Second Highness for the throne, how could the current state of affairs in Great Xi become increasingly chaotic How could matters such as local reports and the resettlement of citizens in the capital remain unresolved until now!"

"The culprit behind all this is crystal clear. Don't let yourselves be blinded!"

Yuan Buyu truly lived up to his reputation as someone who had held the position of prime minister for so many years. In just a few words, he turned the situation around.

Fu Ming's life and death, and all his future glory and disgrace, rested solely in the thoughts of these courtiers below.

Would he ascend the throne smoothly, adorned in a yellow robe, or be branded a traitorous murderer who usurped his brother's position, forever infamous Everyone held their breath in anticipation.

These ministers were spineless opportunists, unwilling to follow anyone with a blemish. After Yuan said a few words, the discussion below immediately turned against Fu Ming again.

Even Fu Ming himself was nervous, and suddenly he turned his gaze to Fang Jinshu.

He chose to stand idly by when Jinxiu was at its most difficult, now what qualifications does he have to drag others down What if Yuan Buyu persuades most of the officials today and confirms his crime of regicide Then neither he nor his mother would have any chance of redemption.

Taking this path to usurp the throne was his and his mother's own choice. He accepted defeat, but he couldn't bear to drag Fang Jinshu, who had helped him countless times and even saved him and his mother's lives, to die with him.

But after a moment, Fu Ming sighed.

He patted Zongyu's arm.

"Wuding Hou, thank you for your kindness."

"Yuan Xiang is probably here today with ulterior motives. I suspect that the death of my second brother was within his calculations. He has been scheming for a long time, you needn't risk your lives to oppose him."

"Zong Yu, take Fang Jinxiu away. You have elders and children at home, don't implicate them because of me."

"When things get chaotic later, you guys make a run for it."

Zong Yu frowned, ignored him, and directly took Fu Ming's hand off his shoulder.

Fang Jinshu heard the conversation between the two. Fu Ming, this kid, being emperor can't be as kind and merciful as him.

When did it even come to this, before the final moment of life and death, he had already given up.

Yuan Buyu was gradually closing in, and Fu Ming had no room to refute any of his words. Without evidence, anything he said was just empty talk, making it difficult for people to believe him.

And yet, he was clutching a sword stained with his second brother's blood right in his hand. So many people had seen it; he couldn't wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

"Your Highness, is there anything else you wish to say"

Bai Guogong anxiously looked at Fu Ming. No matter how hard their people were, they couldn't compare to the Seventh Prince himself if he stood firm. If he faltered, his supporters would lose their footing as well.

At this point, what evidence or lack thereof really matters

"Your Highness, you can't back down at this time."

“The lives of our loyal subjects all depend on you alone. Your Highness, the Second Prince was not killed by you, this crime we absolutely cannot accept!”

Suddenly, Fang Jinshu, who had been silent all along, popped out from the side.

"Who said that the Seventh Prince disregarded the lives of the people for power and profit Yuan Xiang, you need to provide evidence when you speak!"

Just now, when Fang Jinxiu didn't come out, Yuan Buyu didn't really take it seriously. Now that he sees her, he actually feels a creepy sensation on his scalp.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Of course, we need evidence. During the turmoil in the capital, Seventh Prince remained in the palace and didn't go anywhere else.

"He's been busy arguing with the Second Prince about succession in court all day long. When has he ever cared about the common people, or done anything for them"

"Of course I have," Fang Jinshi said with a smile.

"All of you ministers should know that the people suffering in the capital city right now are all being housed and aided by our Wuding Houfu, correct" go all the way to Xixia to kill him"Fang Jinshi smiled and said, “The master of Wuyougong is truly magnanimous. I’ve always heard that assassins are cold-blooded and ruthless, but now I finally get t...
