After His Majesty's rebirth, he personally taught the queen to abuse the scumbag

In the solemn and dignified hall, Ji Chenan and Ji Lingzhou stood opposite each other, but the low steps were the biggest gap between them.

The atmosphere in the hall was so tense that it was almost frozen. The two men's eyes intertwined like sharp swords, filled with unspeakable hostility and unresolved crisis.

Ji Chenan had a sinister smile on his face, his eyes flashing with ambition and greed. He fiddled with the long sword in his hand. He had already controlled everything in the palace, so he naturally felt that he had won the battle, so he said, "Ji Lingzhou, this position was originally occupied by you. If you are sensible now, I will spare your life and give you the title of a leisurely prince after I ascend to the throne. How about that?"

Ji Lingzhou's expression was still as calm as water. The black and gold dragon robe made him look more solemn. In contrast, he looked at Ji Chenan as if he was looking at a clown.

"Ji Chenan, do you admit your guilt?" Ji Lingzhou spoke slowly, his voice revealing unquestionable majesty.

"Guilt? What crime have I committed? You should know that I am the prince chosen by the late emperor!" Ji Chenan smiled wryly, but when he talked about the latter part, he became obviously excited.

Ji Lingzhou was unmoved, he just looked at him coldly, his eyes like a torch. "You secretly recruited soldiers and horses, plotted evil, did you think you could hide it from the world? Now you are plotting rebellion at the banquet, even if you sit in this position, it will be difficult to convince the public."

Ji Chenan shook his head indifferently, "Ji Lingzhou, some things are written by the winners. Since you are unwilling to give up your throne, I don't bother to waste time talking to you. Today, I will let you see who should own this world!" His face changed, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

The moment the words fell, guards from both sides of the hall rushed in, led by the commander of the imperial guards, Han Wen.

When the empress dowager saw this person, her eyes flickered slightly. Han Wen was promoted by her. She looked at Han Wen and said, "Commander Han, are you teaming up with the rebels?" The voice full of coercion could not be ignored.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I just made a better choice." Han Wen said in an unchanged tone.

"Stop talking nonsense? Just take him down!" Ji Chenan had obviously lost his patience, but before Han Wen could take action, a sharp arrow suddenly shot in from outside, followed by the sound of horse hooves.

Everyone looked outside the door, and the leader was Cheng Li. He was riding a warhorse, wearing armor, holding a spear, and his eyes were firm and sharp. The warhorse neighed, and its iron hooves shook the ground, and everyone looked at him sideways.

Here they come. Ji Lingzhou's eyes fell on the team behind Cheng Li. Today is the best time to catch all these hidden dangers...

Ji Chenan didn't seem to have expected to see Cheng Li here. He clenched his fists, and then Cheng Li's powerful voice came out: "I am guilty of leading troops into the city without permission and was late in coming to your rescue. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"General Cheng, what do you mean? Do you still want to be my enemy? You must have forgotten how Ji Lingzhou treated your Cheng family. I promise you that as long as General Cheng is willing to join me in conquering the imperial city today, I will ensure that you will be rich and prosperous!" Ji Chenan extended an olive branch.

"My Cheng family is full of loyal and upright people. We will never associate with the rebels! Come, capture the rebels and protect His Majesty!" Cheng Li gave an order and without wasting time, the soldiers behind him rushed forward as soon as they received the order.

Looking at the two parties that had already started fighting below, Ji Chenan's face was full of cruelty, and perhaps he was a little anxious, so he immediately ordered: "Capture Ji Lingzhou!"

However, no one listened to him. He looked at Han and asked in a warning tone: "Commander Han, didn't you hear what I said?!"

"Han, of course, heard it." Han Wen replied in a light tone, and then shouted, "Do it!"

The next moment, all the guards pointed their swords at Ji Chenan.

Ji Chenan's expression froze instantly. He looked at Han Wen with gritted teeth: "Han Wen! What do you mean by this?"

"Han has received favors from the Cheng family, been promoted by the empress dowager, and is highly valued by Your Majesty. I should be loyal to the court and the emperor!" Han Wen was just a small soldier in the Cheng family army back then. Later, he was promoted by the empress dowager and joined the Imperial Guard. It has always been his responsibility to protect the royal family.

Previously, Ji Chenan took the initiative to find Han Wen for this rebellion, and Han Wen...

He looked at Ji Lingzhou: "Your Majesty, please make the decision."

Ji Lingzhou's two words "Capture him" lightly made all the guards in front of him rush towards Ji Chenan. Ji Chenan, holding a long sword, dodged, and was then forced out of the door.

What doesn't he understand at this moment?

"Ji Lingzhou!" Ji Chenan's eyes were red. So he knew about this a long time ago? And he and Han Wen worked together to frame him!

"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. You must accept defeat if you lose." Ji Lingzhou walked down from his position. A born ruler is naturally different.

He looked outside the door, where Cheng Li was fighting with these people. He silently watched everything in front of him. In fact, the difference between the two sides was immediately apparent. Since Cheng Li was able to break in directly, Ji Chenan's people must have been completely controlled.

Han Wen received favors from the Cheng family. If Cheng Li wanted to rebel under the pretext of eliminating the traitor, it would be basically foolproof given the current situation.

However, there are already archers hiding around here. If Cheng Li wants to rebel, he will show no mercy. So Cheng Li...will you rebel? Ji Lingzhou's hands behind his back gradually clenched. He never believed in the so-called loyalty.

"Stop!" No one knew where the voice came from. When everyone looked in the direction of the voice, they saw Cheng Mingran being held at neck by a man in gorgeous clothes with a knife.

The Queen Mother's pupils trembled slightly: "Ranran!"

Cheng Li hasn't seen his daughter for many years. Now he is in such a situation. His heart shrinks. This is his Ranran, his daughter...

"General Cheng, tell your men to stop, otherwise I will kill her!" The person who spoke was the one who held Cheng Mingran hostage. He was Wei Jinghan, the son of Marquis Weiyuan. He had contributed a lot to Prince Jin'an's rebellion this time.

Ji Lingzhou frowned slightly. He had not expected this to happen. Looking at the woman with the knife on her neck, she seemed to be much more haggard after not seeing her for half a year. Without her gorgeous makeup, her face looked sick. But her eyes were so empty that there seemed to be nothing in them, not even fear.

"Wei Jinghan, release Ranran immediately!" The Queen Mother's eyes were red. Cheng Mingran might be her only weakness? After all, she raised Cheng Mingran as her own daughter.

Cheng Mingran was actually just a delicate and weak little girl, but after suffering so much hardship in the past six months, she had already let it go.

She looked up at the empress dowager: "Aunt, Ranran is not afraid." She has grown up.

But the Queen Mother shook her head, as if to say no...

Cheng Mingran slowly looked at Ji Lingzhou who was beside the Queen Mother. He was still so indifferent. At this moment, she opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but nothing came out.

"Ranran..." An old and hoarse voice sounded beside his ears. Cheng Li's body was stained with a lot of blood, but the blood color could not match the red in his eyes.

"Daddy..." Tears as big as beans fell. She had a lot to say, but she didn't know what to say.

Ji Lingzhou didn't have the patience to watch this sad drama, so he interrupted: "Do you think you can walk out of the palace today by holding a woman hostage?"

"Your Majesty, you are too polite. Whether we can leave or not is not up to your Majesty, but General Cheng." Wei Jinghan said quietly. He looked at Cheng Li and asked, "General Cheng, do you want to continue to be loyal to a foolish monarch who never trusts the Cheng family, or do you want to choose a wise monarch again and protect your daughter?"
