"Guards! Guards! Drag these two audacious bandits out and behead them!" Shang Xiche roared furiously, clutching his swollen left cheek.

He was probably really furious.

When Shang Xiche roared, Di Kanlong couldn't help but yell half a sentence in response: "Someone! Someone come quick!"

He only realized what he had said after he had yelled it out, and quickly stopped.

The people in the hall were still in shock from the emperor being beaten, and no one noticed Dikanlong's little "coincidence".

But no matter how long Shang Xiche called, the Imperial Guards outside the door did not come in.

A young eunuch standing at the door rushed over and glanced over. He immediately knelt down at the door, his voice trembling with fear, and cried out, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Guards outside have all been taken down!"

The moment the young eunuch finished speaking, the entire hall was once again filled with astonishment.

All of them are down?!

Those were hundreds of Imperial Guards, each one an elite member of the Imperial Guard!

"Commander Gao, where is Commander Gao!" Chen Ziyun also arrogantly slammed her chair and stood up, as if she were treating the court as her own Qiwu Palace.

"Lord Gao... has been knocked down," the little eunuch cried, lying on the ground, too afraid to move.

Chen Ziyun's pupils contracted upon hearing this, and she panicked slightly. She hurriedly said to Di Kanlong, "Lord Di... this..."

Dikanlong: "..."

This stupid woman, what does she mean by calling him that in front of the entire court of officials?!

She forgot that she was the Empress of the Great Zhao Dynasty.

Shouldn't the first thing to do be to question the puppet emperor Shang Xiche? That would be in line with his status!

Shang Dongyang: "..."

With her eyelids lowered and hands tucked into her pockets, she silently retreated to one side, not wanting to speak.

Anyway, it's a done deal that he's not of royal blood. He can't choose his own bloodline, so let those two old geezers make a scene.

The entire court was speechless for several days, and now, seeing the Empress's enigmatic attitude towards Di Kanlong, they were all filled with "?" again.

Looking at the emperor on the dragon throne, he seemed completely unaware of all this.

The entire court was filled with questions, feeling that the unpredictable and fascinating changes in the court in recent days had completely exhausted their intelligence.

That is, they knew the complexity of royal relationships;

But something this complex is truly rare.

The Empress disregarded her status and questioned Di Kanlong. Di Kanlong calmed down and remembered that Ji Chenhai and his son were cultivators. Even if he summoned all the Imperial Guards in the palace, he would be powerless against them.

The only ones who can deal with this father and son now, besides him, are Jian You;

But Jianyou is someone close to the Venerable One, and has been hiding in the capital with the Venerable One for many years.

Jian You would never reveal her identity for his sake.

He also dared not let Jian You reveal his identity, lest it implicate the Venerable One as well.

Dikanlong stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said righteously, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I never expected that there would be such a traitor in the Great Zhao! Please allow me to take action and eliminate this villain!"

"Accurate, accurate!" Before Di Kanlong could even control Shang Xiche to answer, Chen Ziyun eagerly blurted out the answer, adding a tender, flirtatious glance.

Dikanlon is simply amazing!

How could this woman have become so stupid after more than twenty years?

Did she think he had Shang Xiche under his control?

Does this mean the Zhao kingdom is now firmly in their grasp?

That's absolutely stupid!

Chen Ziyun was completely unaware that her complete trust and love for Di Kanlong had become the reason he disliked and despised her.
