Murong Xiao paused, pulled Chu Zhao to his side, and said in a deep voice: "What if I have to take this person away?"

"Then it all depends on the prince's ability." He Yunjie said, raising his hand and giving three high-fives. Dozens of guards in costumes and swords suddenly appeared from the four corners of Ci'an Palace, surrounding the three of them.

Murong Xiao's expression suddenly changed, his falcon-like eyes narrowed slightly, and he swept across He Yunjie's face like a knife. The majesty of the king emanated from his whole body, adding a bit of awe to his handsome face: "Xiao Ge is always prepared. Are you planning not to let me leave alive?"

He Yunjie's face was calm and his tone did not change: "Whether you can leave alive or not depends on the prince's decision. Let the princess stay and treat the queen mother. Everyone will be happy. If not, the prince will bear the consequences."

"..." Murong Xiao gritted his teeth and clenched his fists in his sleeves. Just as he was about to punch the grandson first, Chu Xuan suddenly walked out of the hall.

"Why are you so noisy? Everyone is so majestic. Even I, the emperor, don't take him seriously, right?"

To be honest, no one at the scene really paid attention to him as the emperor, but he said so. Everyone had to bow and salute him out of shame. Dozens of guards with swords also knelt down to him. Pay homage with great ceremony.

Chu Xuan snorted coldly, waved his hand and ordered the guards: "Everyone, please step aside."

However, the guards knelt and did not move, obviously not obeying his orders.

Murong Xiao laughed sarcastically: "I have heard people say in Yunzhou that the He family's elders and elders are extremely powerful. Today, when I saw him, his reputation was well-deserved. No wonder the elders dared to speak arrogantly against me. It turns out that all the royal guards have the same surname. He, given time, will the Forbidden City also change its surname to He?"

Chu Xuan was already very angry, but when he said this, he felt that he was a coward as an emperor, especially in front of Princess Jingnan, which completely destroyed his dignity.

"Uncle." He looked at He Pingchuan angrily, "Did the royal guards really change their surname to He?"

He Pingchuan's face was gloomier than the sky above his head. Under the gaze of everyone, he could only scold the guards with a straight face: "Bold slaves, you dare not even listen to His Majesty's words. What's the point of keeping you?"

"That is, it is a disaster to keep such a slave without a master, so it is better to kill them all." Feng Guanlan added quietly.

He Pingchuan almost spit out a mouthful of old blood and wanted to stab him twice on the spot.

Chu Xuan said, "Manager Feng is right. I'll leave these dog slaves to you. Cut off their heads and hang them outside the Meridian Gate as a warning to others!"

"Yes." Feng Guanlan was just slightly stunned, and immediately responded loudly, taking the order and walking towards the group of guards.

The guards all changed their expressions. Seeing that their lives were in danger, they all knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, have mercy on me, Your Majesty, have mercy on me."

"Spare your life, I am being extra merciful by not punishing you nine clans. If anyone dares to say another word, I will kill them all!" Chu Xuan said sternly.

The guards all fell silent, terrified.

His Majesty has been busy trying to please Princess Jingnan recently, and has not bothered to kill people, so that everyone has forgotten that this Majesty is not only extravagant and lustful, he is also a tyrant who regards human life as nothing, and is ready to kill at any time.

Princess Jingnan?

Right!

And Princess Jingnan!

At present, I am afraid that only Princess Jingnan can make His Majesty take back his life.

A few of the guards who were quick-thinking immediately knelt down to Chu Zhao and said, "Princess, help me, Princess, please help me. I have wives and children at home. I beg the Princess to show mercy and persuade Your Majesty to take back my life!"

When the others heard what they said, their hopes were rekindled. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chu Zhao, shouting repeatedly: "Princess, help me, Princess, help me..."

Chu Zhao was somewhat surprised and looked at the group of people calmly, then at He Yunjie.

Although He Yunjie's expression remained unchanged, his tight jawline betrayed his emotions.

Chu Zhao's lips curled up slightly, and he said sternly to the guards: "As royal guards, you should obey His Majesty's orders, but you can't understand your identity clearly and mistakenly regard others as your masters. Now you have offended Tianwei." , then I realized I was afraid, wasn’t it too late?”

The guards trembled and knelt on the snow to admit their mistakes.

Chu Zhao looked at Chu Xuan and said in a slower tone: "Your Majesty, although these people are disrespectful to Your Majesty, they must have been forced by others, not their original intention. Besides, they are all elites among the imperial guards. It would be a pity to kill them all. , why don’t you let Eunuch Feng incorporate them into the Jin Yuwei team and train them strictly so that they can better serve His Majesty in the future? What does Your Majesty think?"

Chu Xuan had regained his face. It didn't matter to him whether these people were dead or alive. Since Chu Zhao personally interceded for them, he naturally agreed to them in order to please Chu Zhao.

Dozens of guards were grateful to Chu Zhao and followed Feng Guanlan to Beizhen Fusi.

He Pingchuan and his son watched all this helplessly, and no one spoke to stop them.

The Queen Mother was still unconscious in the palace, and the Emperor was obsessed with Princess Jingnan. The father and son did not know that such a thing would happen, so they had no other choice but to suffer the loss of being mute for the time being.

Chu Xuan finally felt proud and proud. He no longer paid attention to his uncle and cousin. He made his own decision and said to Chu Zhao: "Princess Jingnan, I now order you to return to the palace to save the Queen Mother. Before the Queen Mother wakes up, I promise not to I will not let anyone bother you again, and if anyone questions you again, I will chop off their head, how about that?"

"Okay." Chu Zhao nodded and smiled approvingly at him, "Your Majesty is so powerful. I finally saw what the power of the emperor is today."

When Chu Xuan was praised, he was so happy that his soul floated to the sky. If Murong Xiao hadn't still been standing next to Chu Zhao, he would have really wanted to...

Ugh!

Forget it.

King Jingnan was quite scary when he got angry just now, so he shouldn't make small moves in front of him.

Besides, Princess Jingnan had promised him that she would convince King Jingnan to use her for his own purposes.

At this time, he had better establish a good relationship with King Jingnan first!

"Isn't King Jingnan going to visit the Queen Mother? Let's come together!" Chu Xuan thought about it and took the initiative to invite Murong Xiao.

Of course Murong Xiao didn't want it, so he followed him and Chu Zhao towards the palace.

Soon only He Pingchuan and He Yunjie were left in the snow.

The father and son looked at each other and walked out of Ci'an Palace in tacit agreement.

At this time, it didn't matter whether they guarded the Queen Mother or not. What mattered was that the emperor was no longer obedient.

A disobedient emperor will naturally not be allowed to stay.

The snow was flying heavily, the north wind howled in from the long and narrow corridor, and the snowflakes fluttered on the face, making it difficult to open one's eyes.

The snow did come too early this year, and it was destined to be an uneven winter.

The father and son returned to Wenyuan Pavilion in silence and entered He Yunjie's duty room.

The door was closed, and the wind and snow were isolated. He Yunjie picked up the teapot on the stove, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to his father. He said in a cool tone: "We can't wait any longer, we must act immediately."
