Chapter 125 The End of the Southern Qi Royal Family, the Death of the Sword King
Five days later.
A piece of news that shook the entire Southern Qi Dynasty was released.
The emperor of Southern Qi died.
A wail of grief filled the palace as the concubines of the Southern Qi Emperor flocked to his bedchamber.
Meanwhile, the Sword King, who was still a day's journey from the capital of Southern Qi, also received the news.
He was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He did not expect that the Southern Qi emperor would not hold out until he returned to the capital.
He knew that Southern Qi was in big trouble now.
His plan ended before it even began.
At the same time, he also hated the mysterious Grandmaster of Eastern Qin who had been blocking him all along.
If it weren't for his delay, he would have arrived in the capital long ago.
Such a situation will not occur.
Just as he was getting angry, a mocking voice rang out.
"It seems the Sword King has received the news. How is it?"
"Was it done by your Eastern Qin?"
The Sword King suppressed his anger and looked at the mysterious Grandmaster in front of him, who was completely shrouded in black robes.
"Hehehe, does it matter whether it is or isn't?"
Xuan Yue sneered.
And is it really true, as he said, that it doesn't matter whether it is or isn't?
It doesn't matter anymore; the Southern Qi Emperor has already passed away, and it's too late to say anything now.
"It is indeed you."
However, the Sword King had already confirmed his suspicions: the matter was indeed done by the Eastern Qin.
"No, no, no, this was not entirely our doing. We only gave it a push. We also have to thank the Southern Qi Emperor for raising four good sons. If they hadn't been so impatient, the Southern Qi Emperor wouldn't have passed away so soon."
"Hahaha..."
After Xuan Yue finished speaking, she burst into laughter.
This is really interesting; he only found out about it recently.
He truly did not expect that it would be the four good sons of the Southern Qi Emperor who would take action against him.
"Oh, right, there was also the influence of the Southern Qi emperor's harem."
After laughing for a while, Xuan Yue added another sentence.
His words infuriated the Sword King so much that he felt he was about to suffer internal injuries from anger.
He knew the Southern Qi emperor was no good, but he never expected to be betrayed by everyone around him.
His death ended everything, but it left behind a huge mess.
It's not easy to clean it up.
"Asshole."
Finally, the Sword King couldn't hold back any longer and cursed in a fit of rage.
"Are you still going to stop me? Haven't you achieved your goal?"
The Sword King had already guessed what Dong Qin wanted to do.
"Of course not, my mission is complete. Sword King, please feel free to leave if you wish."
After Xuan Yue finished speaking, she walked to the side and gestured for him to leave.
This can be considered as making their stance clear.
However, no one saw the mocking smile that appeared on his face beneath the mask.
"let's go."
Without hesitation, the Sword King gave the order and led his men to the capital of Southern Qi.
He needed to reach the capital before the Four Kings' Rebellion.
"My mission is complete, the poison has been administered, the rest is up to you. I need to go back and report."
After speaking a sentence to herself, Xuan Yue used her lightness skill to quickly disappear.
After Xuan Yue left, several carrier pigeons flew out from the woods behind him.
Sword King was unaware that he was only a day's journey from the capital of Southern Qi, and that many assassins were already waiting for him along the way.
They wanted to take advantage of his illness to kill him.
At this time, the Southern Qi imperial palace was rife with undercurrents of tension.
In the shadows, where no one knew, the four princes had already begun their actions.
They all wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of the other three.
After offering their condolences, the ministers began to debate which prince should be chosen as the new emperor.
The four forces were locked in a heated debate.
After all, under the deliberate actions of the Southern Qi Emperor, the four individuals were almost evenly matched, and none of them could suppress the others.
This was also the reason why the entire Southern Qi Dynasty fell into chaos after the emperor fell seriously ill.
It can be said that the current situation of Southern Qi is entirely caused by the Southern Qi emperor.
He never imagined that a minor illness would cost him his life.
It could be said that because of him, the fall of the Southern Qi dynasty was only a matter of time. However, he did not think so. He believed that this was the way of the emperor, the way of balancing power.
Sure enough, something bad happened that very night.
As the eldest son of the legitimate wife, the eldest prince was the first to get into trouble.
The tragic news of his assassination in the funeral hall spread immediately.
The other three sustained minor injuries, as they certainly didn't want to be criticized.
Now the entire capital of Southern Qi was bustling again. The capital was sealed off late at night, and the Southern Qi imperial guards began a large-scale manhunt for the assassin.
But how difficult it would be for them to catch the assassin, given that it was the work of three princes.
If the eldest prince doesn't die, he will be the most likely person to ascend the throne.
After all, the eldest prince is not only the eldest son, but also the legitimate son.
There's a growing tendency for neutral parties to side with him now.
The three princes then joined forces to eliminate the eldest prince first, thus making them evenly matched.
Sword King also encountered assassins on the road, and not just any assassins, but all of them were death squad members and killers.
This further injured the already wounded Sword King, and also triggered the poison within his body.
This brought the Sword King to his last gasp.
One day later.
Another piece of bad news came from the palace: the Third Prince was dead.
He died in his sleep.
This plunged the entire capital of Southern Qi into chaos.
The guards became even more stringent, as they were all worried that the last two princes would also meet a tragic end.
The Sword King returned to the capital that day, but he was seriously injured. He wanted to keep this news a secret, but it still got out.
The Southern Qi royal family finally panicked.
If something happens to the Sword King, the Southern Qi royal family may be doomed.
The royal family didn't even have time to attend to the funeral of the Southern Qi Emperor, and instead summoned all the imperial physicians to the Sword King's Mansion.
After dozens of imperial physicians made their diagnoses, they all shook their heads.
The Sword King was not only injured, but also poisoned, and not just one kind of poison.
It's impossible to cure the Sword King in a short time.
This news was immediately known to the major clans of Southern Qi.
These people finally saw an opportunity; they were already very dissatisfied with the Southern Qi royal family because of the Southern Qi emperor's actions.
If it weren't for the fact that the Southern Qi royal family had two Grandmasters in charge, they would have rebelled long ago.
Now that the Southern King is dead and the Sword King is on the verge of death, they have finally seen an opportunity.
Suddenly, the entire Southern Qi Dynasty was thrown into chaos.
Three more days passed, and another message spread from the palace, throwing the Southern Qi into complete chaos.
The remaining two princes both died.
The Southern Qi imperial lineage could be said to have no successor, leaving the throne vacant.
The Southern Qi royal family was enraged and began their final frenzy, implicating many people.
The entire capital of Southern Qi was practically awash in blood.
When the Sword King regained consciousness and heard the news, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell into a coma again.
His anger and impatience accelerated the full eruption of the poison within the Sword King's body.
This kept the imperial physicians of the Southern Qi Dynasty extremely busy.
But an even greater crisis was just beginning. In order to take advantage of the situation and eliminate the Sword King, the last reliance of the Southern Qi royal family, the major clans joined forces to send out a large number of assassins and also hired Jianghu killers.
Prepare to deliver the final blow to the Southern King.
On the night that followed.
Hundreds of assassins and death squad members stormed into the Sword King's Mansion.
As dawn broke, all the assassins and killers were eliminated, but the Sword King also perished in the assassination attempt.
After all, these people had received a death order: they must kill the Sword King, no matter the cost.
Despite the Sword King's Mansion's tight defenses, it was eventually breached by these reckless assassins.
Several Grandmaster-level experts traded their lives for one another, ultimately killing the unconscious Sword King.
The last reliance of the Southern Qi royal family disappeared.
