Chapter 751 The Real and Fake "Monkey King"

"what's the situation!?"

"How is this going!"

"What, another one!"

"If this is the Crown Prince, then who is the one above him?!"

"Could it be... could it really be the Fifth Prince in disguise!?"

The civil and military officials below whispered amongst themselves, glancing up and down at the altar, realizing the situation was about to spiral out of control.

The archer's hand was already trembling as he drew his bow. What... what's going on? How can there be two princes?!

No, no, one of the princes is definitely a fake. But can someone tell them which one is real and which one is fake?

Now they're at a crossroads; it's wrong to fire the arrow, and it's wrong not to fire it.

The crucial question is: which of these people who issued the order is the true Son of Heaven, and which is an imposter?

So they turned their attention to the commander, who was also completely bewildered. Ask him? Who was he supposed to ask?!

No, we can ask the senior officials in the court, or the Crown Prince's trusted ministers. They should be able to tell the difference!

"Lord Qiu, what do you think we should do?"

The atmosphere on and around the altar was tense, and the leader of the Yunxiang Troupe had no idea that he was working for the Fifth Prince.

I really thought I had met a rich young master who was interested in disguise. It was nighttime when I entered the mansion, and I didn't see the plaque on the gate clearly.

After going in, he kept teaching that young nobleman the art of disguise, and never came out again.

They had someone in charge of their food, clothing, and lodging every day, and they were paid quite a bit of money.

During the national mourning period, the leader of the Yunxiang Troupe thought this was for the best. Although they would lose their freedom, at least they could get through this year and keep the troupe going.

Little did anyone expect that the day the young master completed his studies would be the day his Yunxiang Troupe would be wiped out!

If it weren't for the divine intervention of soldiers, these dozens of people would have been buried alive and disappeared silently from the capital.

The Fifth Prince has such a cruel heart!

However, they are ordinary people, and also low-class artists. Their purpose in coming here today to expose and set things right is not out of any great righteousness.

However, if this fake crown prince were to ascend the throne, the Yunxiang Troupe would still not fare well. Even if they left the capital and went into hiding, they would still feel uneasy.

Every day I have to live with the feeling that my head is being used by someone else, and I'm always on edge.

Therefore, even if they weren't given those few hundred taels of silver, he would still follow this Magistrate Jiang without hesitation, after all, it was for the sake of the Yunxiang Troupe itself.

If a person does not serve himself, he will be destroyed by heaven and earth.

When Qiu Cheng was questioned by the commander of the Imperial Guards, he subconsciously looked at Jiang Xiaoqi.

Jiang Xiaoqi's lips curled up. "What does Lord Qiu think?"

"Well, isn't it obvious? Who brought that person over there? It's your father!"

The answer is obvious, isn't it?

"Ahem, Lord Yun, what are you waiting for? Let's get to work!"

"Get, get to work?"

"Arrest them! These treacherous officials are trying to seize the throne! Shoot them to death with a hail of arrows at once!"

"Huh? Oh! I understand!"

Although the commander of the Imperial Guards was a military man, he was not stupid.

If he still can't see the situation clearly, then all his years as commander of the Imperial Guards have been for nothing!

"Fire arrows!"

At a command, over a hundred arrows all rushed in the same direction.

Blood mist filled the air, staining the altar of the coronation ceremony and the bright yellow dragon robe.

"Puff puff!"

"You lot! How dare you! I am the Emperor!"

Finally, leaving behind eight words, the bright yellow figure collapsed with a thud.

"Your Highness!"

A high-pitched female voice suddenly rang out among the eunuchs of the inner palace.

Is it Song Qingyu?

Jiang Xiaoqi saw through the man's disguise at a glance, but she didn't expect that Song Qingyu would shout out instead of lying low and protecting herself.

Could it be that she actually has some genuine feelings for the Fifth Prince?

Jiang Xiaoqi was puzzled, but she had no time to pay attention to Song Qingyu at the moment.

The chaos on the altar gradually subsided, and everyone's attention focused on the fallen figure.

The man was still staring at the prince's face, and it looked incredibly strange.

The crown prince felt a sense of unease seeing his face lying in a pool of blood.

The leader of the Yunxiang Troupe was quick-witted and immediately pulled out a porcelain bottle from his pocket.

Mustering his courage, he stepped forward. The Imperial Guards, having received Jiang Xiaoqi's signal, did not stop him.

The troupe leader quickly poured out the contents of the porcelain bottle and evenly applied it to the fake prince's face. In just a short while, the disguise on his face began to crack, revealing his true appearance.

"Oh, it really is that Fifth Prince!"

Qiu Cheng quickly stepped forward and, after confirming that the fake prince had stopped breathing, breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the real crown prince slowly walked out from the crowd.

He solemnly bowed to Jiang Xiaoqi with a student's salute, saying, "Thanks to Mr. Lao's planning, everything has now been settled."

Jiang Xiaoqi avoided the bow, and the Crown Prince looked at the crowd and said, "Thanks to everyone's help today, the Great Zhou Dynasty is safe and secure."

Civil and military officials knelt down and shouted "Long live the Emperor!"

Song Qingyu and Song Jinyang, who were preparing to flee, were quickly apprehended by the Imperial Guards.

Song Qingyu's eyes were filled with despair, yet also with a touch of stubbornness.

Song Jinyang's eyes were filled with dejection and resentment, but in the end, his head, which had been held high, finally drooped.

The Crown Prince ordered all the people to be imprisoned in the imperial prison to await their fate at a later time.

At this moment, the heavy rain gradually stopped, and the dark clouds dispersed.

The thunder and lightning just now seemed as if they had never happened.

Sunlight regained control of the high ground, and the new emperor successfully ascended the throne.

"Long live, long live, long live my emperor!"

With all the ministers bowing their heads, the Great Zhou Dynasty began a new chapter.
