The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

Finally, the Black Armored Army broke through the last line of defense and rushed into the Yangxin Palace. However, when the Queen Mother and Longkodo entered the palace with them, the scene of the emperor panicking as expected by the Queen Mother and Longkodo did not appear. At this time, the emperor sat steadily on the dragon throne, looking at them with indifferent eyes.

After the Queen Mother and Longkodo exchanged a glance, she looked at the Emperor with some pity in her eyes and was the first to speak: "Emperor, your situation is hopeless, so you'd better surrender obediently."

The Queen Mother thought she had won the battle, and her words revealed a hint of contempt for the Emperor and a sense of pride in her own plan.

The emperor sneered, "Do you really think you have everything under control?"

The emperor stood up and walked calmly to the Empress Dowager Longkodo, then clapped his hands. A group of guards in brocade clothes emerged from the darkness and surrounded the Empress Dowager, Longkodo and others.

The Queen Mother and Longkodo were horrified, "You actually have an ambush..."

The emperor stood up and said slowly, "Do you think I don't know your plan? Why do you think the Black Armored Army was able to enter the palace so easily? I have already made plans, and I am waiting for you to fall into my trap."

The Queen Mother and Longkodo turned pale immediately, realizing that they had fallen into the trap set by the Emperor. Even though they regretted it, they had no way back.

The Queen Mother pretended to be calm and waved her hand. The black armored soldiers and the death soldiers led by the Queen Mother and Longkodo once again engaged in a fierce battle with the Jinyiwei. The battle broke out, and the crisp sound of the ice swords hitting each other made the Queen Mother's heart tremble again and again. In the flash of swords and shadows, the Jinyiwei were as flexible as loaches, fighting with the black armored soldiers and the death soldiers with ease. The blood was everywhere, and the Queen Mother and Longkodo's faces became paler and paler. They realized that their conspiracy had completely become a joke this time.

When peace was finally restored in the palace, all the black-armored soldiers and assassins led by the Empress Dowager and Longkodo were killed and wounded in a pool of blood. The Emperor's Jinyiwei suffered occasional casualties, but they were not serious.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but widen her eyes and murmured, "How could this be? This..."

When the emperor heard the queen mother's question, he laughed heartily. After laughing, he kindly answered the queen mother's question and said, "Since I knew that you were colluding with Longkodo and wanted to rebel, I have been making secret arrangements. Since last month, I have sent people to make armor overnight. Now is the right time for it to be used."

When the Queen Mother and Longkodo heard the Emperor's words, their faces turned pale again. The Emperor looked at the Queen Mother and Longkodo with a cold look as if he was looking at two dead people. "Now, if you have any other tricks, just use them against me."

The Queen Mother wanted to speak, but Longkodo, who was standing beside her, tugged at her sleeve and gave her a look. After the Queen Mother understood Longkodo's look, her reason returned instantly. When she turned to look at the Emperor, the amusement in her eyes became more obvious. "Oh? I didn't know the Emperor was so meticulous, but it doesn't matter. I just have a question today. Please answer it for me."

The emperor looked at the empress dowager with extremely cold eyes. He just stared at her steadily without saying a word.

The Queen Mother didn't care at all and spoke again: "It is said that the emperor is ruthless, but you are the son of the late emperor. The late emperor was a well-known romantic. I wonder what his son is like? The country and the beauty, which one does the emperor want?"

When the empress dowager asked the emperor this question, the assassins happened to take Nian Shilan to the entrance of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity. When Nian Shilan heard the empress dowager's question, she stopped abruptly. She actually also wanted to know the emperor's answer.

The Queen Mother naturally saw Nian Shilan appear. She took a few steady steps to the side, just blocking the Emperor's sight.

The emperor didn't think much about it. When he heard the empress dowager's question, he sneered, "The empress dowager is probably getting older and more confused. I am the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. I only need to protect the country of the Qing Dynasty. What kind of beauty can I want in the future?"

When Nian Shilan heard the emperor's answer, the chill in her heart spread from the soles of her feet to her whole body. At this moment, she could no longer move at all and just stood still outside the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

In fact, Nian Shilan had already guessed it in her heart, and the emperor's answer was not beyond her expectations. It was just that Nian Shilan still remembered that the emperor was the father of her unborn child, and she always had a little bit of negligible sincerity towards him. However, the emperor's answer today completely wiped out the little bit of emotion that Nian Shilan had left for him.

When the Queen Mother heard the Emperor's answer, she laughed out loud to herself. Her laughter was tinged with complacency and mockery, which hurt the Emperor's ears a little. The Emperor looked at the Queen Mother who seemed a little crazy in front of him with a little displeasure. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the Queen Mother move away. Behind her was Nian Shilan, who was forced to come by the assassins.

A trace of panic and worry flashed across the emperor's eyes, but then he calmed down, frowned slightly, looked at the queen mother and asked, "What do you mean?"

The Queen Mother paid no attention to the Emperor's displeasure. She just looked at him with some pride and said, "Didn't I just say that I want to see which one the Emperor would choose, the kingdom or the beauty?"

The Queen Mother admired the Emperor's somewhat livid face after she finished speaking, and continued, "But since the Emperor has already made his choice, I have overestimated the importance of the Imperial Concubine in the Emperor's heart. There is no need to keep such a useless person."

The Queen Mother signaled the assassins to start. At this moment, the Emperor's feelings for Nian Shilan prevailed, and he blurted out, "Wait!"

When the emperor shouted this, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart. Why didn't he keep his composure and let the empress dowager find his weakness.

The moment the assassins heard the emperor's call, their movements paused slightly. The empress dowager also looked at the emperor with interest and asked, "Why? Did the emperor change his mind?"

The emperor said in a cold voice: "What do you want me to do? In order to save the life of the Imperial Concubine?"

When the empress dowager heard the emperor's words, she mocked the emperor's naivety in her heart, but pretended to think it over before she spoke: "As long as you write the abdication edict, and after you abdicate, let the fourteenth prince ascend the throne, I will consider sparing the life of the imperial concubine."

The emperor stared at the queen mother with hatred in his eyes, but the queen mother didn't care at all. She just looked at the emperor smugly. After a long time, the emperor reluctantly compromised and said, "If I do as you say, don't forget your promise to me!"
