After rebirth, she became the prince's favorite

"Yao Jing, you have evil intentions. It turns out that you are really planning a rebellion. Don't use the name of Prince Yide. I have never harmed Prince Yide. You are just seeking revenge to usurp the throne."

Chu Tengzheng stood up and said, "Who said there is no evidence? The evidence that you murdered the former crown prince is overwhelming. There are both witnesses and material evidence. The blood letter left by Crown Prince Yide also has his private seal on it."

"You are the one who massacred the entire East Palace, but there are always fish that slip through the net, and there are always people who are sentimental."

There was bone-chilling hatred in the man's eyes. It was this scumbag Li Shicheng who had imprisoned his sister for more than half a year, humiliated his sister, and nailed the entire Chu family to the pillar of shame.

"After all, it's just your high-sounding excuse. If you pull me off the throne, you can ascend to the throne. Stop being so hypocritical and disgusting."

"Your Majesty is wrong. I have no ambition to usurp the throne. I just want to get back everything that belongs to Prince Yide. Under your rule over the years, the Great Zhou Kingdom has not become more prosperous, but has regressed. You simply don't have the ability to be a wise ruler."

"Prince Yide had a son back then. Even though the emperor sent people to hunt him down for a long time, there was nothing he could do. God had mercy on him and let the emperor's eldest grandson survive."

Chu Tengzheng's smile became brighter and brighter, as if he wanted to anger the emperor to death, "Ajin, stand up and take out the jade pendant that your mother left for you to prove your identity, and also take out the letter that your mother entrusted to the Prince of Zhennan."

These words caused a stir among the ministers in the court, and everyone looked at Yao Mingjin in disbelief.

The emperor's mind was blank. If looks could kill, Yao Mingjin would have died a dozen times.

Yao Mingjin took out the blood letter that Chu Xiaoxiao left for him, the jade pendant, and his birth date, and displayed them in front of everyone.

Yao Jing and Chu Tengzheng said in unison, "The Prince of Zhennan is the only bloodline of Prince Yide!"

"Therefore, Yao Mingjin is qualified to ascend the throne as the emperor and lead the court officials to make the Great Zhou more prosperous and powerful, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment and have a better life. Neighboring countries will not dare to invade again. Support the emperor's eldest grandson as the new emperor."

Where there are ministers who agree, there are naturally ministers who strongly oppose. They are all people who are highly valued by the emperor and have gained many benefits by relying on the emperor.

However, as long as any minister objected, the soldiers who rushed in would directly chop off the minister's head. Blood splattered everywhere, and the head rolled to the ground. The strong smell of blood spread in the palace.

After several stubborn ministers were killed, no one dared to raise any objections. They just kept their heads down and said nothing, fearing that they would be the ones to be chopped off the next moment.

The emperor looked as if he had lost all hope. He really wanted to kill all these traitors, but the situation was not favorable for him. He didn't even dare to curse, for fear that if he resisted too vigorously, he would be killed directly.

"You will definitely be punished. I don't believe Yao Mingjin is the son of Prince Yide!"

The Queen Mother's majestic and firm voice rang out, "Ajin is my eldest grandson. Ajin is the most qualified to inherit the throne."

The empress dowager, supported by Yang Yufei, walked in. Her eyes full of hatred fell on the emperor's face. After a short moment, she looked away.

"Ah Jin is the son of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. This blood letter is in the Crown Princess' handwriting, and the jade pendant is also real. Ah Jin looks about 70% like the Crown Princess, and the remaining 30% is from his father."

"Empress Dowager, how can you be so careless? That was Yao Jing's conspiracy. He deliberately confused the royal bloodline. If you let Yao Mingjin ascend the throne, you will be a sinner of the royal family!" The emperor was so furious that he even wanted to kill the empress dowager.

This old woman is indeed not his biological mother, and she will not help him at the critical moment.

"Shut up! The thing I regret most is that I adopted you. I thought you were a pitiful person, so I helped you so that you could live a better life in the palace. But I didn't expect that you had such evil ambitions that you killed my son and daughter-in-law."

"You are such an ungrateful and cruel person, you are not worthy of being the emperor."

The Queen Mother's voice was very cold, and she directly took out a will from the late emperor, "Before the late emperor passed away, he once made a will. If you can govern the Great Zhou Kingdom well, it is not impossible to give the throne to you."

"What have you done to the Great Zhou Kingdom in the past ten years? You have ceded territory to seek peace, increased taxes, and made the people's lives miserable. Japanese pirates are rampant along the southeast coast, threatening the safety of the people, but you indulge in pleasure. A tyrant like you should have left the throne long ago."

The emperor showed the will to everyone and said, "Now, I will depose you as the emperor, appoint another wise ruler, and restore order to the Great Zhou Kingdom."

"Come here, throw the deposed emperor into the prison and wait for me to punish him."

"Who dares? I am the true dragon emperor, the emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom. No one can pull me down from the throne!"

Chu Tengzheng gave a wink to the assassins, who immediately rushed up and grabbed the emperor's hands behind his back, causing the emperor to whimper in pain.

"Let me go. You bastards who have committed such heinous crimes will definitely be punished."

No matter how unwilling he was, he had no way to change the current situation in the face of absolute force. He was taken to the Sky Prison in a miserable state and put in heavy shackles.

As for the emperor's most trusted confidants, they were all thrown into the Sky Prison, with no chance of turning things around.

Qiao Shanshan and Yao Yi were not taken away. They had already been scared out of their wits. They never imagined that Yao Jing would really dare to rebel, and they never imagined that Yao Mingjin was actually the son of Prince Yide.

Just now, in front of all the civil and military officials, she took out the dragon robe and the jade seal, as well as so much evidence of Yao Jing's crimes. Would that cold-hearted man let her go?

Yao Jing walked up to the mother and son with an expressionless face, and said to the trusted guards he brought with him, "Take them back to the Zhennan Palace, put them under house arrest, and wait for my decision."

The palace coup, which had been carefully planned for more than ten years, came to a successful conclusion at this moment.

Yao Mingjin and Yang Yufei looked at each other, and all the uneasiness and anxiety disappeared completely. In the days to come, they should be able to live for themselves.

The Queen Mother was in much better spirits than last night. She looked at Yao Mingjin with excitement and heartache, and held her grandson's hand, reluctant to let go for a long time.

"It's great that your parents still have a son like you alive. Ah Jin, are you willing to acknowledge me as your grandmother?"

No wonder she subconsciously felt fondness for Yao Mingjin. She thought Ajin and Yufei were very much like her son and daughter-in-law at the beginning. Now that she thought about it, they were clearly her grandson and granddaughter-in-law.

Yao Mingjin felt a little bitter, but he still said happily, "Queen Mother, you are my grandmother. I am very happy to have such a grandmother."

"Are you feeling better now?"

The Queen Mother held back her tears and nodded, "I am much better now. Yu Fei's medical skills are very good and she has taken good care of me."

She still had a lot of questions to ask Yao Mingjin, but she knew that now was not the right time.

"You guys take care of your business first. I will go back to Ningshou Palace and won't disturb you any more."

No matter how reluctant the empress dowager was, she knew what was most important. She asked Yang Yufei to support her and returned to Ningshou Palace.

Yao Jing, Chu Tengzheng, Zhou Shengtao, together with their subordinates, did things efficiently and effectively. They dealt with the mess in an orderly manner, and the chaotic situation was cleaned up in less than a few hours.

"Mingjin, take Yan'er to Ningshou Palace to visit the Queen Mother. Yan'er has something to tell you." Chu Tengzheng looked at his nephew and felt even more distressed for his sister. He wished he could cut Li Shicheng into pieces.

Yao Mingjin also had a big question in his mind. Chu Yanyi looked so much like him, could she really be his half-sister?
