Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

The sharp blade changed direction and pointed directly at Emperor Tianjing above!

The situation changed instantly, leaving Emperor Tianjing unable to react for a moment.

As for Gu Qianfan, his face was even pale and bloodless at this time!

These hundreds of people are the dead men secretly trained by Emperor Tianjing. They are truly strong men, and they are also the biggest trump card that has allowed Emperor Tianjing to stay stable in the palace for so many years!

It is said that when Emperor Tianjing first ascended the throne, some traitors lurked secretly in the palace at all costs in order to deliver a fatal blow to Emperor Tianjing at the critical moment.

It's a pity that these killers all died quietly in the palace.

It's not because of how tyrannical the Imperial City Division is, nor how strong Emperor Tianjing himself is!

But because of these dead men secretly raised by Emperor Tianjing!

They are all warriors who are one in a million, and they are born to sacrifice everything for Emperor Tianjing, including their lives!

Emperor Tianjing was suspicious by nature. He even doubted the loyal Marquis of Zhenbei and Gu Qianfan who had sacrificed his life for him countless times. He even had no sense of trust in his own son.

But he had never doubted this shadow hidden in the dark night!

but!

The Marquis of Zhenbei, whom he once suspected the most, did not resist!

The Imperial City Secretary Gu Qianfan, whom he had tried countless times, did not resist!

But the shadow he trusted the most turned against him at this critical moment!

He couldn't understand, and even became hysterical when roaring!

As for Gu Qianfan, his eyes flickered and he looked stunned.

At this time, he finally understood why Zhou Zheng, who had always been shrewd and cautious, dared to enter the palace alone and fearlessly in this seemingly inevitable situation.

Not because he feels guilty, not because he is arrogant, but because he has a trump card!

He has an absolute trump card!

This trump card is the shadow in the palace!

As long as he can control the shadows in the palace and control this team that seems to be absolutely loyal to Emperor Tianjing, he will be invincible and he can control the situation at any time!

terrible!

Gu Qianfan was more certain than anyone else that Zhou Zheng had never really come into contact with the shadows before!

But at the critical moment, why did this change happen! ?

"shadow?!"

"why?!"

"Tell me, why!?!!"

Emperor Tianjing sat down on the dragon chair in despair, with an unquestionable question in his eyes.

He slowly turned his head and looked at the old man in black clothes standing aside.

This shadow is a dead soldier that shadow is responsible for training!

Rather than saying that they are the dead soldiers of Emperor Tianjing, it is better to say that they are the dead soldiers of the shadow.

However, he had thought about countless possibilities, but never thought that Shadow would rebel at a critical moment.

Because Shadow has been inseparable from Emperor Tianjing for more than twenty years.

He was also the original master of Emperor Tianjing, the master who taught Emperor Tianjing how to practice martial arts step by step.

He is the only man that Emperor Tianjing has trusted for so many years.

This sentence made Gan Mo and Gu Qianfan stunned, and at the same time, they all focused their attention on the shadowy figure.

Especially Gu Qianfan!

He naturally knew that there was a person named Ying in the palace.

He knew even more clearly that Shadow's status in the Great Zhou Dynasty had long surpassed that of princes and generals, because he was the one whom Emperor Tianjing relied on and trusted the most.

But the more this happened, the more obvious the shock in his pupils became.

Because in Gu Qianfan's opinion, he couldn't find any reason why a shadow could rebel.

"Your Majesty, Zhou Zheng, cannot die."

A hoarse voice slowly came from Shadow's throat.

Emperor Tianjing was stunned by this opportunity, and then he looked up to the sky and laughed.

He looked at the shadow with an extremely complicated expression.

"Have you still not let go of what happened back then?"

Sitting dejectedly on the dragon chair, Emperor Tianjing's momentum also dropped to the bottom.

He muttered to himself, and his expression began to become a little twisted and ferocious.

No one knew what this meaningless statement meant, but Shadow's acquiescence was an ear-shattering response to Emperor Tianjing.

"I promised her that no matter what, I would let her only flesh and blood live!"

After a long time, Shadow slowly exhaled a breath and spoke softly.

And this she made Emperor Tianjing and Zhou Zheng stunned at the same time!

Because she is Zhou Zheng’s biological mother, Xiao Qing!

When he said these words, Shadow raised his head, and a faint fluctuation flashed in his deep eyes.

Upon noticing the shadow's gaze, Zhou Zheng's heartbeat also accelerated.

It was the first time he saw a shadow, or even the first time he came into contact with a shadow.

Even though time is not forgiving and the shadow at this time looks already old, his angular facial features and the abyss-like bright eyes are all talking about the shadow of his youth, which was also a jade tree facing the wind.

With just one glance, Zhou Zheng noticed a hint of doting in his pupils!

Zhou Zheng had only felt this feeling with Xiao Guan and Xiao Mu!

It seems that the elders care for the younger ones, but also seem to have a deep guilt.

"Who is he?!"

"What is the relationship between him and his mother!?"

Zhou Zheng bit his lips lightly and grasped his palm lightly, a trace of confusion began to rise in his heart.

In the past three years, Zhou Zheng had searched for news about Xiao Qing countless times, but there seemed to be no clues except the Blood Gate in the North.

It wasn't until this time when Mu Qingwan led tens of thousands of elites from Baili Tu and Xuemen to help Zhou Zheng that he got the second news about Xiao Qing's stay!

That is so that he can enter the palace with confidence!

Zhou Zheng didn't know what backup plan Xiao Qing had left for him in the palace, and he wasn't even sure if the backup plan was still there.

But Zhou Zheng had an inexplicable impulse!

That is the most primitive trust this body has in its mother!

So, he set foot in the palace alone!

It’s not that Zhou Zheng is ignorant, nor is it that Zhou Zheng is arrogant!

It's his trust in Xiao Qing, the kind of trust that flows from the depths of his bones!

"Twenty years!"

"It's so hard for you to hide it from me!"

Emperor Tianjing clenched his fists and almost said this through gritted teeth.

Thanks to him treating Shadow like this for so many years, all he got in exchange was for that woman to stay by his side!

"What's so good about that woman?!"

"What can make you so determined?!"

"Even though she has been dead for so many years, you are still like this?!"

Emperor Tianjing's body trembled.

Today, it was such a big blow to him!

Not only did Zhou Zheng besiege the palace and all the officials betrayed their relatives, but it was also because of the shadow that stabbed him in the back!

"Because, I promised her..."

Shadow's hoarse voice seemed to carry the power of faith.

Even in the face of Emperor Tianjing's near collapse, he did not waver at all.
