Biluo said with a worried look on her face: "Yes! Madam, Commander Zhang is right. It is better to be careful!"

"What? You don't dare anymore?" King Xiang sneered, with a half-smile on his lips, looking at her with a playful expression.

"It's not that we don't dare, it's just that there is no need. In that case, Commander Zhang, you stay and the rest of you retreat!" Zheng Xiyan was not afraid at all and ordered in a cold voice.

"Empress..." Biluo nervously held her arm and shook her head at her.

"Commander Zhang, I leave my safety in your hands. Do you have the confidence to keep me safe?" Zheng Xiyan's eyes were sharp and her tone was cold without any warmth.

Zhang Sheng knelt on the ground without any hesitation and said in a deep voice: "Even if I sacrifice my life, I will protect the Queen Mother from any harm."

Zheng Xiyan smiled happily, "In that case, all of you leave."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade him any more, Biluo had to retreat.

Princess Xiang was also taken away. Before leaving, she looked at him with reluctance on her face. This might be the last time they would see each other in this life.

Prince Xiang walked out of the cell, his noble appearance was out of place here.

"See, you're living pretty well here?" Zheng Xiyan said sarcastically.

"Hmph..." King Xiang snorted with disdain and pressed forward step by step. Zhang Sheng's hand fell on the sword at his waist, ready to draw his sword and fight at any time.

Zheng Xiyan stopped him with her eyes. Xiao Xuanqi walked up to her, tears in his eyes. He looked at her with a lonely face and asked in a low voice: "In all these years, have you ever put me in your heart for a moment, even for a moment."

Zheng Xiyan's eyes moved slightly as she pondered over this question, and replied decisively: "Xiao Xuanqi, you are so presumptuous that you actually slandered me by saying such words..."

Zhang Sheng, who was standing by, guessed something, his eyes were full of doubt and confusion. Could it be that there was something going on between Prince Xiang and the Queen Mother? He didn't dare to think about it anymore, for fear that he would be silenced in the next second!

"Is it true or not?" Xiao Xuanqi grabbed her shoulders tightly and questioned him frantically. A tear fell directly on the palm of her hand, and Zheng Xiyan's heart trembled slightly.

Zhang Sheng's knife was already on his neck, but he didn't care at all and just wanted an answer.

"No! Never!" Zheng Xiyan said with a firm and sober look.

"Xiao Xuanqi, you have done a lot for me. If you had not coveted my son's throne, my son and I would have treated you well. Unfortunately..." Zheng Xiyan said with regret. Perhaps, if he really gave up the throne, the relationship between them...

The throne can only belong to Ji'er, and she will only be the queen mother, not the queen who is always cautious and timid and bows her head before him.

At this moment, Xiao Xuanqi regretted it very much. It was almost, almost. But why didn't she want to be her own queen?

"If I become the emperor, I will pass the throne to your son and teach him how to handle state affairs. Yan'er, what I can do is no worse than Xiao Xuanchen!"

"Why do you want to compete with him?" Zheng Xiyan frowned, her face becoming increasingly gloomy as she said, "Xiao Xuanqi, listen carefully, I don't want to be the queen anymore. No matter what you promised me, I don't believe it. I only believe in power. Since you have tried to compete with me in vain, you should know the final outcome."

"After all, the most important thing to you is the throne and power."

Xiao Xuanqi's eyes were lonely and his lips were trembling slightly. He made a wrong step, and all the subsequent steps were wrong.

Xiao Xuanqi let her go, and his whole body looked like he had lost his soul, his eyes were dull, and his face was slightly pale.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Zheng Xiyan asked in a deep voice.

Xiao Xuanqi bent over, mocking himself with the corner of his mouth: "In my life, it seems that I have never gotten what I wanted. The throne, you..."

When Zheng Xiyan heard these words, her heart suddenly started beating faster.
