Dugu Menghai decided that if he could prove that Feng Wu planned to usurp the throne, his crime wouldn't be so severe.
However, Emperor Wu only smiled. "You don't like what those lines say, do you?"
Dugu Menghai said, "Your Majesty, that proves she's a usurper!"
Emperor Wu didn't seem angry, but he suddenly kicked Dugu Menghai in the chest.
He was displeased when he saw that Dugu Menghai didn't fly away.
He said grimly. "Usurper? Then I'll be usurping my own throne! I wrote those words!"
Dugu Menghai was shocked.
So was everyone else.
Emperor Wu sneered at him then looked over his shoulder at Lady Ling.
Lady Ling was smiling now.
Emperor Wu was so happy that he smiled for a split second as well. Dugu Menghai couldn't believe it.
His Majesty was smiling? He had to be seeing things!
However, when Emperor Wu turned around, he kicked Dugu Menghai again. "Your crime is punishable by death!
"Qin Yan!"
