Chapter 925: 432: Zhi Li is finished! Turing Duo is caught!

Note: The last Chapter’s plot is extremely important, don’t miss it!

...

Facing the Buddha dust smacked at him by Li Chenglian, Fang Qingzhuo made no attempts to defend and stood there quietly, watching as his imminent demise approached—his body ready to be shattered to pieces.

"Bang!"

At that moment, a silhouette suddenly dashed out like a bolt, their treasured sword colliding with Li Chenglian’s Buddha dust, rescuing Fang Qingzhuo.

Everyone looked intently and realized that, at this crucial moment, the one who saved Fang Qingzhuo was none other than Grand Eunuch Gao Yin.

The weapons of two supreme masters clashed in an instant.

"Boom!" The air trembled violently!

At this time, several Judges of the Dragon Temple reacted immediately, and dozens of Holy Temple Monks rushed forward to surround and protect Zhi Li and the Holy Ritual Master En Lin.

Li Chenglian burst out, shouting hoarsely: "Protect the emperor, protect the emperor!"

All of a sudden, led by Li Zhu, a dozen eunuchs charged out fiercely.

Li Chenglian shouted loudly: "Your Highness, run, run..."

It was remarkable that at such a time, Li Chenglian, who had raised Zhi Li from a young age, still intended to sacrifice his life to facilitate Zhi Li’s escape.

"Bang!"

There was a loud noise as the palace doors were violently smashed open.

Then, countless warriors of the Forbidden Army and the Shadow Cabinet burst in, securing every corner!

The Forbidden Army’s Commander Hei Ningqi, with a majestic stride, entered the grand hall, shouting: "Your Majesty has arrived!"

After that, Duke Zhi Ting, pushing a wheelchair, slowly entered the Dragon Throne Hall!

Seeing the frail old man in the wheelchair, everyone gasped in shock.

Isn’t that His Majesty the King?

He—he’s actually not dead, and not only that, but his eyes are also open, as if he’s still conscious.

Everyone froze for a long moment!

Suddenly, Prime Minister Yan Wujie let out a tragic cry, clutching his heart as he collapsed to the ground, fainting.

And other civilian and military officials, Nobles and Lords, shook like chaff, trembling as they knelt down.

"Greetings to His Majesty the King!"

...

This series of events happened too quickly!

From his wife Fang Qingzhuo revealing his devilish bloodline, to Li Chenglian’s attempt to kill Fang Qingzhuo, followed by Gao Yin’s intervention, and finally to the appearance of King Quo Bian.

All these events took less than a minute from start to finish!

Zhi Li really didn’t know whether to look first at King Quo Bian or at his wife Fang Qingzhuo.

But in the end, he looked at Fang Qingzhuo and asked with a trembling voice, "Why? Although I may have been somewhat harsh to you, I’ve only ever loved you, and you are my only queen. Why betray me?"

Fang Qingzhuo said, "Because you’re no longer fit to be human. Zhi Ning’s son is your own nephew, and yet you dared to threaten Suo Lun by endangering the child’s life. That madman Turing Duo has repeatedly attempted to harm the child, who is just one year old. If you can’t defeat Suo Lun, you target to harm an infant less than a year old, lower than beasts."

Zhi Li responded: "Without ruthlessness, one can’t be a man, and Suo Lun is the same."

Fang Qingzhuo countered: "No, he’s different. He once had the chance to kidnap your two daughters, but he didn’t. After rescuing Gui Qinshao, he returned the two children to me; when I brought them back, they were still sound asleep, not even awakened. It’s because when Suo Lun’s men carried away our two daughters, they held them in the most comfortable position and gently covered their ears, not startling them, fearing that they would be frightened."

"That’s because Suo Lun was not in a desperate situation," Zhi Li sneered.

Fang Qingzhuo said: "That’s because Suo Lun has humanity, unlike you, who’s descended into a beast!"

Zhi Li did not argue further, taking a deep breath, still somewhat in disbelief as he looked at his wife.

She must be the most perfect woman in the world — gentle, kind, generous, and tolerant.

Zhi Li had many mistresses before, and she would not say a word against it, still tenderly caring for and cherishing him without a trace of jealousy.

It wasn’t until he attempted to commit treason with Turing Duo and plotted to harm Tuli Yang that he completely trampled on Fang Qingzhuo’s bottom line. That was when Fang Qingzhuo and Zhi Li separated.

But even at that moment, Zhi Li still believed his wife loved him and would never betray him.

Zhi Li never imagined that this gentle and kind woman would, at the critical moment, deliver a fatal blow to him.

At this moment, Fang Qingzhuo showed no sign of guilt or shame as she looked at Zhi Li, softly saying, "The husband I loved is already dead; you are no longer my husband. To protect my family, I am willing to do anything."

Zhi Li looked at his wife for a long time.

He always thought he knew her well, but it seems his understanding of her was very superficial.

Even though Fang Qingzhuo had betrayed him, leading him to the brink of death, Zhi Li found he couldn’t harbour much hate for her in his heart.

Lately, Zhi Li had been irredeemably wicked, so facing a righteous and kind wife seemed somewhat unbearable.

Then, he averted his gaze from Fang Qingzhuo, turning his eyes towards King Quo Bian!

Before this man, Zhi Li felt no need to feel guilty, no need to conceal the hostility in his gaze.

That night, when Li Chenglian sent out the successful signal flare from the palace, Zhi Li wondered why it was so easy to succeed. Was Quo Bian really that easy to kill?

Although Li Chenglian and most of the Shadow Cabinet’s experts were absent, they wouldn’t have been so negligent regarding the King’s safety.

As expected, the person who was killed was just a body double for the King.
