After Captain Kong returned, Yuan Saburo knew that the game was over.

The sounds of explosions and the footsteps of the army outside the palace came from far away.

His body was shaky and he was almost in a trance. "Impossible... Impossible! I am the only one left in Zhongshan. Kill me and they will kill my father! These traitors... traitors!"

"I am the King of Zhongshan, how dare those lowly people!"

Yuan Saburo's expression gradually became ferocious. He grabbed the people around him tightly with both hands and demanded, "I am the King of Zhongshan. Zhongshan belongs to me. No one can take it away from me!"

He has gone mad.

The commander of the guard battalion beside him could not bear to watch this and spoke out urgently, "Your Highness, please flee! I am willing to protect you and fight to the death to escape from the palace. As long as you have the green mountains, you will never worry about lacking firewood. There will always be a day to make a comeback..."

"No!" Yuan Saburo stared at him with his scarlet eyes filled with resentment. "Do you know how I've been through all these years? To sit on this seat, I murdered my mother and brother, and my hands are stained with the blood of countless people..."

"You want me to give up now?" He laughed loudly towards the sky, as if he had heard some huge joke.

Yuan Sanlang stopped laughing, drew his sword with a loud shout, and stabbed at the palace maid trembling on the ground in anger.

"Ah!" The palace maid let out a scream and fell in a pool of blood.

He was still not satisfied and began to slaughter these palace servants indiscriminately.

The bright red blood seeped into the carpet, leaving behind strange red shapes.

"Your Highness, please spare my life!" Grandma Sun was so scared that she crawled away, crying and shouting as she crawled.

Your Highness has gone crazy!

The guards of the escort camp watched him go crazy quietly, but their eyes slowly dimmed. They were persuaded by Mr. Hu and followed Yuan Sanlang in the rebellion. Now it was too late to regret.

Zhongshan Kingdom... is finished.

The army has surrounded the main temple.

The soldiers made way.

The princess walked slowly, looking up at this familiar yet unfamiliar palace. Her thoughts were in a mess, and memories mixed with reality flooded into her heart.

This is where her father spends the most time.

Her father doted on her since she was little, and he often brought her here to play. Sometimes, while he was busy with official business, she would sit by and eat snacks...

There is also the tall figure of my brother and the gentle smile of my mother...

It carries too many childhood memories for her.

The princess's mood at this moment was like a dark cloud, and the grief penetrated deep into her bones. She tried to maintain her composure and gestured to Yuanwu beside her.

"Yuan Sanlang! You guys can't escape even if you have wings. Why don't you come out and die quickly?!"

I originally thought it would be a fierce battle, but unexpectedly the tightly closed palace door slowly opened.

Yuan Sanlang appeared covered in blood with a sword in hand. The blood on the sword was still dripping down. The hall behind him was already a purgatory.

His eyes were unfocused, as if he was looking at them, or looking for something.

Finally, when he saw the princess standing in front of him, surrounded by people, his gaze paused, and his eyes burst with intense hatred, "Yuan Yuwan, it's you...it's you! I'm going to kill you!"

The princess did not flinch. She looked up and stared at him, her voice trembling slightly as she tried to control herself. "When you killed your mother and brother, did you ever think of this day?"

Yuan Sanlang seemed to hear nothing and looked like a madman.

He looked at the vast army outside with great confusion, muttering in a daze, "Why? Why would you choose to betray me? I am the king of Zhongshan, the heir to Zhongshan's incense..."

"You're wrong." The princess dealt him a fatal blow and calmly stated, "I am, I am father's legitimate child. As soon as I was born, my father petitioned the court for a title for me, designating the most prosperous Pingyao County as my fief. I was raised in the palm of my father's hand and mother's hand, and was doted on..."

Every word she said was like a needle piercing Yuan Sanlang.

"Birth has determined everything. You are of humble status, just the son of a lowly concubine. Do you think that because I am a woman I can't take away everything from you? Look at how wrong you are."

"Enough!" Yuan Sanlang's sore foot was stepped on, his scarlet eyes were full of bloodshot, his face was gloomy, and he wanted to rush forward and tear her into pieces.

He hated his illegitimate status all the time. He had always thought, if he had crawled out of the princess's belly, who would dare to look down on him!

He attributed all the unfair treatment he had received in the past to his status as a bastard.

The princess, however, refused to comply with his wishes. She slowly said, "A son born of a concubine is a son born of a concubine. Look at him, he's something that will never be seen in public. You've only been in charge of Zhongshan for less than a year, and the people are suffering. They're starving, and you've done nothing to help or clean up the mess. How can someone as incompetent and malicious as you be worthy of sitting on my father's throne?"

Yuan Saburo didn't want to hear a word anymore. He stumbled towards her like a madman, sword in hand, "I'll kill you, bitch!"

Yuan Wu and Xiang Qi were no pushovers, and they immediately rushed forward to block the princess, snatched his sword, and threw him to the ground.

Yuan Sanlang's steps were unsteady and he was easily subdued.

The guards in the hall watched everything with numb expressions, with no intention of protecting the emperor. Some of them had already thrown their weapons on the ground, desperate not to resist anymore.

Yuan Sanlang was lying on the ground, still shouting, "I am the king of Zhongshan. How could Zhongshan fall into the hands of a woman? Impossible..."

The princess took out the dagger in her hand, put down the scabbard, and slowly approached him step by step.

"Do you know how I felt after hearing the bad news?"

The princess slowly squatted down, staring blankly at the madman on the ground, "Even if I kill you, my mother and brother will never come back."

"You truly deserve to die! When Zhongshan needed them most, you ignored the suffering of the people and the monsters outside... If Mother and Brother Jian were still here, how could Zhongshan have fallen to this point?"

After saying that, she no longer hesitated, raised the dagger high, and personally thrust it into Yuan Saburo's chest.

Yuan Sanlang bent his back in pain, blood gushed out from the wound, and glared at her with resentment.

The legitimate sister in front of him became very unfamiliar. She was no longer the weak young lady, but the one who was about to become the master of Zhongshan Kingdom.

"Yuan Yuwan, you must...die miserably!"

He stared at her until his last breath.

Yuanwu was afraid of scaring the princess, so he immediately blocked her view.

Xiang Qi was more direct. He took off Yuan Sanlang's coat and covered his face with it.

It was quiet and silent all around.

The generals and soldiers behind him remained silent.

Yuan Wu looked at the shadowy guards around him and shouted, "The man who killed his mother and brother has been executed. Why don't you surrender quickly?"

Some people ran away, while others died in despair.

Upon seeing this, Xing Shi and General Chen immediately led their men in pursuit.

The commander of the guard camp in the hall, seeing that the situation was hopeless, calmly drew his sword and committed suicide in front of the hall.

The chaotic night is about to end, and Zhongshan will usher in a new tomorrow.
