Incomplete Evidence Delivered to Great Emperor Ling Yan, the Plot Moves Ahead of Schedule!
"You dare hit me?" Zhao Heng covered half of his face.
Strangely, the slap was extremely painful and loud.
However, Zhao Heng did not feel much force, and his face did not swell up.
There wasn't even a handprint.
"Smack!"
Ling Yi slapped him again.
"I hit you again, so what?" Ling Yi laughed.
[Ding! Zhao Heng's Heartache Level has increased by 15%, currently at 30%, gaining 1500 Heartache Points!]
A slap costs 1,500 yuan, that's good, that's good!
"You..."
"Slap, slap, slap..."
"So what, so what, so what?" Ling Yi slapped Zhao Heng five more times.
[Ding! Zhao Heng's Heartache Level has increased by 10%, currently at 40%, gaining 1000 Heartache Points!]
"Don't you dare come near Laozi again if there's nothing else going on." Ling Yi waved his hand dismissively.
"Don't think I don't know about your mess. You might fool that stupid woman Ling Yan, but you can't fool Laozi."
"What do you know?" Zhao Heng covered his face; at this moment, his face was no longer in pain, but numb.
It's numb and painful, so numb and painful.
"Ninth Prince!" Ling Yi said, enunciating each word clearly.
"How... how did you know? That's impossible!"
[Ding! Zhao Heng's Heartache Level has increased by 20%, currently at 60%, gaining 2000 Heartache Points!]
Wow, they've already broken through my defenses!
Could it be that today we're going to maximize Zhao Heng's Heartache Level?
"Slap!" Ling Yi slapped him again.
"I find that stupid Laozi Ling Yan disgusting right now. You want to cause trouble? Go ahead, but don't mess with Laozi, understand?"
Zhao Heng didn't know what "Don't touch Laozi" meant, but he roughly understood the meaning.
"Very well, I've got it." Zhao Heng angrily flicked his sleeves.
He walked out of the Junlin Hall with a gloomy expression.
Ling Yi looked at his palm.
"The last hit didn't produce any coins. It seems the same move can't be used consecutively!"
"Host, you did this on purpose, didn't you?" The Water Ball blinked twice in front of Ling Yi and asked.
"Yeah, guess what this guy will do after he finds out I know his real identity?"
I'll find a way to kill you.
Ling Yi rolled her eyes. "That's not the point!"
"Given Zhao Heng's personality, he'll inevitably suspect that besides me, who else knows about his identity as the Ninth Prince? Could I have already told that woman Ling Yan?"
"We just need to push it up a little more, and Zhao Heng will lose his composure."
That evening, a letter appeared on the desk in the imperial study, containing only one sentence.
It is suspected that Zhao Heng's true identity is that of the ninth prince of the Da Zhou Kingdom, who infiltrated the Da Wu with the intention of restoring his kingdom!
The contents of the letter are not certain, but only suggestive.
But given Ling Yan's suspicious nature, one suspicion is enough.
Meanwhile, several armories that Zhao Heng had secretly hidden in the imperial city showed signs of being infiltrated by strangers.
In the early hours of the morning, a figure appeared eerily in the Junlin Hall.
It was Ling Yi had just finished dealing with some business.
"That's it?" the Water Ball asked, puzzled.
"Otherwise what?"
"Just wait and see what happens!"
Sure enough, the pace of the plot accelerated over the next few days.
Just as Ling Yi had predicted, Empress Ling Yan began to secretly investigate Zhao Heng.
Zhao Heng had already bribed the female officials around the Empress.
As soon as Ling Yan made a move, Zhao Heng knew immediately.
Given that several of his secret stashes were suspected of being targeted, Zhao Heng assumed that Empress Ling Yan had discovered something.
They quickly moved the items from the secret vault.
The relocation of such a large batch of military supplies could not have been a small undertaking.
Empress Ling Yan naturally noticed it as well.
The suspicion about Zhao Heng's identity has turned into confirmation.
Empress Ling Yan panicked.
Over the years, she has trusted Zhao Heng immensely, and Zhao Heng has been in control of many key areas in the capital.
If Zhao Heng really wants to cause trouble, half of the imperial city's power will likely side with Zhao Heng.
Ling Yan panicked, Zhao Heng panicked even more.
The Empress knew his true identity, and he knew the Empress knew his true identity.
The current result is...
Either we all play dumb and maintain a facade of peace.
Waiting for an opportunity.
But both of them felt that the other would never give them a chance.
Then the only option is to strike first.
Half a month later, Empress Ling Yan took the initiative to challenge Zhao Heng in the court.
Using a fabricated reason, they wanted to remove Zhao Heng Zhao Heng from his official post and take back all the power in his hands.
Unfortunately, Ling Yan underestimated Zhao Heng's strategy.
Surprisingly, more than half of the court officials spoke up for Zhao Heng.
The charges against Ling Yan were completely fabricated and lacked any evidence.
If she were to force a conviction, Zhao Heng would likely rebel on the spot.
This time, Empress Ling Yan ended in a disappointing failure.
Zhao Heng, on the other hand, knew that he couldn't wait any longer.
After three days of preparation and hasty planning, the palace coup was finally launched.
Interestingly, Zhao Heng's reason for the coup was Lin Yu.
He fabricated evidence that Ling Yan was wary of Lin Yu Lin Yu framed him in order to regain military power.
Ling Yan was portrayed as a jealous, selfish, Coldblood Tyrant.
Under the pretext of exonerating Wu Da, they led an army of 100,000 to attack the imperial city.
The plot was moved forward by a full three years.
The army had already stormed the walls of the imperial palace.
However, due to the hasty preparations, and the fact that Empress Ling Yan had also made arrangements in advance, the situation was different.
Therefore, Zhao Heng's several attacks all ended in failure.
Both sides suffered heavy losses.
Then, a standoff ensued.
Zhao Heng simply surrounded the empress without attacking, intending to starve her to death.
The palace had limited resources and couldn't last long.
However, Zhao Heng could replenish supplies at any time.
Continuing this stalemate will benefit Zhao Heng.
That evening, Ling Yan, dressed in golden armor and looking exhausted, arrived at the Junlin Hall.
This was the first time Empress Ling Yan Ling Yi had come to the Junlin Hall since Ling Yi was assigned there.
However, Ling Yi was not inside the Junlin Hall 'Junlin Hall, but on its roof.
Holding a telescope, watching the spectacle.
"Oh, Your Majesty, you still have time to come to the Junlin Hall at a time like this!"
Ling Yi's mocking voice rang out.
Ling Yan looked up at Ling Yi and asked, "Did you already know that Zhao Heng had a problem?"
"I know!"
"Did you leave that letter in the Imperial Study?"
"A letter? What letter?" Ling Yi shrugged, feigning ignorance.
He can cause trouble, but he can't admit that he's the one causing trouble.
Otherwise, it would conflict too much with his public image.
"Never mind, it's not important." Ling Yan took a deep breath.
Then, in a slightly stiff, pleading tone, he said, " Brother Yu, help me."
Ling Yi scoffed, "Why should I?"
"Also, don't call me Brother Yu, it makes me feel disgusted."
[Ding! Ling Yan's Heartache Level has increased by 30%, current Heartache Level 75%, Heartache Points increased by 3000 points!]
That's right, Ling Yan's Heartache Level is already 75%.
During this period, Ling Yan's investigation continued.
She also uncovered all the dirty tricks and shady things Zhao Heng had done to frame Lin Yu.
The Heartache Points keeps increasing.
The two haven't even met, yet the Heartache Level is almost over.
" Lin Yu, I admit I was wrong before, but that was because I was deceived by that villain Zhao Heng."
"Stop right there." Ling Yi waved his hand.
The female lead in the short drama uses standard lines to apologize.
It wasn't that I was wrong, it was that I misread it.
It's not my fault, it's all someone else's fault.
Pah!
