Chapter 462 What happened seven years ago
"I want to know, what happened back then? How did Old Youshan King and Cheng An die?"
Chu Rui turned his head, looked at Feng Yili, and then spoke in a tired tone.
"Seven years ago, Yuzhou was hit by a disaster. Youshan Palace tried every means to appease the emotions of the victims. However, some people deliberately spread rumors among the people, causing panic among the people..."
"More and more people are in turmoil, and the situation is getting worse. Li Chengan took the initiative to go to the disaster area to appease the people, but was assassinated on the way back."
Feng Yili spoke expressionlessly.
"When this king rescued him, he had already hurt his heart. Even if he was hanged with precious medicinal materials. When he was sent back to the palace, he could only last for half a month."
"Old Youshan King also fell ill because of this incident. But the whole Yuzhou is still in a state of panic. The people who were already unable to feel at ease because of the disaster, are even more in danger when they hear that their eldest son has been seriously injured. "
"But even under such circumstances, the court did not take any action."
Speaking of this, Feng Yili's tone was extremely sarcastic.
Chu Zai's face was gloomy, he wanted to reprimand Feng Yili and not allow him to continue talking.
But after sensing Chu Rui's anger, he had no choice but to suppress this plan.
"Old Youshan King knows very well that the disaster is already serious. If the people don't have confidence, it is even more impossible for them to survive."
"So he begged the king to let the king pretend to be Li Chengan and help the people of Yuzhou tide over the difficulties."
Feng Yili continued to speak in a cold voice.
"What happened seven years ago...I remember that when his body had just recovered, 'Li Cheng'an' made drastic changes and changed many strategies that the imperial court had arranged for Yuzhou. In just three months, Yuzhou was allowed to pass smoothly. Get over it."
Chu Rui looked at Feng Yili with complicated eyes, and then said these words.
Although he was retreating back then, he still heard about this matter.
At that time, he was still joking with Li Xu, saying that the old Youshan King had raised a very good grandson.
Who knew, it wasn't Li Chengan, but Feng Yili!
Thinking of this, Chu Rui's heart is extremely heavy.
"Hmph, just think that you lied to the emperor for the sake of the people of Yuzhou. But after the disaster is over, why don't you confess this matter? You admit it, you just have ulterior motives."
Chu Yuemu gritted his teeth and said.
"That's right, who knows if you killed Old Youshan King and Li Chengan, just to make room for you to sneak into Xichu." At this time, Concubine Mu also began to hold on to Feng Yili.
After their mother and son looked at each other, Chu Yuemu said firmly; "I can't guarantee that you are the one who assassinated the father and framed us today."
"This king framed you? Then why is this king still injured?"
Feng Yili glanced over with cold eyes.
That powerful aura is simply not something that a dude like Chu Yuemu can bear.
His face turned pale, and he was speechless.
Trash!
Chu Zai glanced at Chu Yuemu, feeling even more disgusted with this son in his heart.
If his prince has the ability of Feng Yili, what else does he have to be afraid of?
"Feng Yili, what the fifth prince just said is also reasonable. After the disaster, why didn't you confess to me, but continued to occupy the status of Prince Youshan's son, and later successfully inherited the title?"
He began to question Feng Yili.
"There are 100,000 Yuzhou troops in Youshan Palace, if you confess your identities to me and the emperor, then where will the 100,000 Yuzhou troops go?" Feng Yili asked blankly.
"There are no successors in the Youshan Prince's Mansion, so the 100,000 soldiers and horses have naturally returned to Xichu's hands." Chu Zai said in a dark voice.
Feng Yili raised his eyes and glanced at him, "Can your majesty ensure that those 100,000 soldiers and horses are only brought back to the court, instead of being buried in the wilderness?"
"What do you mean? Don't you think that I will kill them?" Chu Zai's face became more and more ugly.
"So, you are now voluntarily confessing your identity because the murderer has been found?" Chu Rui asked urgently.
"Everyone who chased and killed Li Chengan back then had this totem on them. Come here, bring it up."
Feng Yili's voice fell, and Jiang Chuan immediately came in with a big box.
In front of everyone, he opened the box, and a strange smell wafted out.
"At that time, those people were already corpses, so this king asked people to cut off the piece of flesh with their totem, and adopted a special method to preserve it to this day."
What, what? Cut off the flesh?
Some people are so curious they can't help but take a peek.
I saw layers of skin piled up inside the box. Although it was wrinkled, the totem on it was clearly visible.
"vomit..."
The scene is really disgusting, and some people can't help retching.
"Your Majesty, these totems belong to the Imperial Forest Army. It is said that every Imperial Forest Army in Western Chu needs to engrave a totem. It is made by using a special potion, and only the royal family of Western Chu has it. What do you say...what's going on?"
Feng Yili opened his mouth coldly, and directly questioned Chuzai.
"You are presumptuous, don't you think that I sent someone to kill Li Chengan?"
Chu Zai was so angry that the blue veins on his forehead emerged.
Everyone breathed hard.
I thought to myself that he really is the regent of Tianxia Kingdom, he is so courageous to question Emperor Xichu.
Even if this matter was really done by Emperor Xichu, how dare he act so presumptuously on someone else’s territory as a prince who pretends to be Youshan King?
After a long silence, Feng Yili's eyes fell on Chu Rui.
"The Supreme Emperor, what should be said, I have already said. As for the truth behind it, you should not be difficult to find out."
Listening to Feng Yili's words, Chu Rui's wrinkled face was full of vicissitudes.
He got it...
Feng Yili has done so much, just to seek justice for Youshan Palace today.
These so-called evidences are not hard to find at all.
It is not difficult to guess that the emperor is the real murderer. He couldn't tolerate the Youshan Palace, so he murdered him back then.
But Feng Yili has waited for so many years, until today he made a single bet and revealed the truth.
He wasn't trying to convince other people and Chu Zai at all, he was waiting for him to make a decision.
Looking at the whole of Western Chu, only he, the Supreme Emperor, can give justice to Youshan Palace.
Can…
The one who made a mistake is the emperor.
Chu Rui staggered a bit, as if he had aged a lot.
"Grandfather." Yu Yunxi called out worriedly when she saw this scene, her heart tightened.
"Don't worry, this king won't do anything to the Supreme Emperor." Feng Yili clasped her cold little hand and said in a low voice.
Over there, Chu Rui took a deep breath, and the past appeared in front of his eyes.
It is difficult for him to make a choice!
After a long silence, Feng Yili continued: "Besides the totem, this king also found this thing on those assassins."
After speaking, he took out a token.
There is a word "Mu" on it.
