Upon hearing this, many people in the room gasped in shock. The events that had just occurred at the Jiang family had not yet spread, and many people in the palace were only now finding out.

Although this person didn't say how the King of Wu became a cripple, judging from Zu An's eyes, everyone clearly knew who did it.

However, even though he deposed the King of Wu, why did the Queen of Wu still hold his hand, and why did she not seem to show any sadness on her face, but instead have a kind of girlish shyness and happiness?

This scene really made a lot of people's CPUs burn out.

"Regent, you have quite the nerve!" Biqi thought to herself, secretly pleased, and was about to seize the opportunity to make her move when the man hurriedly said:

"besides……"

"besides?"

"Later, the Prince of Yi, along with the Eastern and Northern Generals, led men to investigate. A disagreement arose, and they all clashed and were killed by the Regent," the guard quickly added.

"What?" Zhao Si swayed and almost fainted. My father is dead?

He was both shocked and furious: "You surnamed Zu, are you trying to rebel? I will definitely report this to the Eighth Master and ask him to come out and uphold justice."

At this moment, the guard hurriedly added, "Eighth Prince has just come out upon hearing the news, and Grand Commandant Yiyang Prince... has also been killed."

Zhao Si: "???"

"What about the others, Hachiko? Did they say anything?"

The guard shook his head: "It seems he spoke a few words with the Regent and then began maintaining order at the scene."

"That's it?" Zhao Si couldn't believe it. Zu An had killed so many members of the royal family, even the Prince of Yiyang, one of the Eight Dukes. Was he just going to let the others go like that?

"Yes, that's it." The guard nodded.

Zhao Si opened her mouth, but for a moment found herself at a loss for words.

Not just him, everyone had a similar expression; this information was simply too explosive.

"Zu'an, are you really going to rebel?" Bi Qi roared out the thoughts of almost everyone.

"It seems that it is your Bi family and Prince Yi who have rebelled. I, the Empress Dowager, have been chased like a stray dog ​​by you!" Liu Ning couldn't help but stand up and speak up for Zu An.

Many guards in the palace swallowed hard, thinking that they had heard too many shocking inside stories today, and wondered if they would even live to see tomorrow.

"That's because your Liu family is too arrogant and doesn't respect the Emperor at all. How many key departments in the court are controlled by your Liu family members? In the end, will this be the Zhao family's empire or your Liu family's empire?" Bi Qi sneered.

“Aren’t all the civil and military officials in the court members of your Bi family? According to you, doesn’t that mean your Bi family is also plotting a rebellion?” Liu Ning looked at him coldly.

Bi Linglong: "..."

Sister, the person on the other side doesn't represent our Bi family.

“Nonsense! Your rebellion was ordered by the Emperor himself.” Bi Qi flicked his sleeve, clearly unwilling to argue with him.

Zu'an then spoke up: "Oh, then why does Your Majesty plot a rebellion?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Bi Qi laughed and scolded, "What are you talking about, rebelling against the Heavenly Gang?"

"Since its founding, our dynasty has always governed the country with filial piety. Filial piety is the national policy of our dynasty. The emperor's birth mother is from the Liu family and is also the current empress dowager's elder sister. However, he declared that the Liu family was plotting a rebellion, slaughtered all the elders of the Liu family, and even sent people to hunt down the current empress dowager. Such an unfilial person shakes the foundation of the country. What else is this but a rebellion?"

Zhao Ruizhi was itching to speak, but unfortunately, he was constrained by his own image as a fool, so he couldn't say anything. He could only keep giving Bi Qi meaningful glances so that he could go ahead.

Bi Qi shouted, "Since ancient times, has any subject ever questioned the existence of the monarch? Today you have killed so many members of the royal family, including the most respected Grand Commandant. Considering that you killed several princes and eight dukes before, it seems that you are indeed a wolf in sheep's clothing, plotting to overthrow the monarchy!"

Zhao Si chimed in, "That's right. Most of those surnamed Zu are plotting rebellion because they have an affair with the Empress. Everyone listen up, anyone who follows him is committing treason, a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of their family!"

“Adultery…” Upon hearing this word, Bi Linglong’s pretty face turned pale, and she swayed slightly.

Just then, Liu Ning, who was standing next to her, suddenly appeared beside Zhao Si and slapped him on the head.

With a sharp crack, Zhao Si's skull shattered, and he bled from all seven orifices, dying instantly.

"Hmph, utter nonsense! How dare you criticize the Empress! You deserve to die!"

She did this for two reasons: first, to seek revenge, as this guy was one of the murderers in the coup in the capital; and second, to keep this master of rhythm going, as it was really disadvantageous for Azu.

As for Biqi and Zhao Ruizhi, she believed that Zuan was enough to protect her safety.

As expected, upon seeing her movements, Bi Qi swayed slightly, but after glancing at Zu An, she ultimately did not make a move.

"How dare you kill someone to silence them?" He could only condemn the other party.

"I'll kill this guy if I want, what can you do about it?" Liu Ning returned to Zu An's side, looking at him provocatively.

“You…” Bi Qi’s face turned pale and then red, and the soldiers under his command couldn’t help but feel weak.

Zuan smiled and said, "Speaking of which, all the demons I've encountered recently have been brimming with domineering aura, acting like you're all trash and I'm going to conquer the world. You two have been forced to this point and you don't even dare to make a move. You are truly a disgrace to demons."

Zhao Ruizhi couldn't help but shout, "You bastard, you're just trying to get Linglong by framing us as demons! I may not be smart, but I am still the emperor. An emperor cannot be humiliated! Come on, kill this traitor! If you have the guts, then kill me! History will remember you, you regicide!"

Hearing his almost tragic speech, many of the emperor's guards were filled with righteous indignation, their eyes burning with passion as they shouted that they would protect the emperor to the death.

Even after so many years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there are still quite a few people who are loyal to the emperor.

Zuan admired their loyalty and bravery, and said calmly, "Whether they are demons or not, we'll know once I capture them."

Before he finished speaking, he had already appeared in front of Zhao Ruizhi and casually grabbed his face.
