The Imperial Guards outside the gate responded loudly.
Mo Yunhan pulled the person into his arms.
"Let's see who dares!"
The Empress Dowager slammed the sword in her hand on the ground.
"Ninth Prince, look closely at the sword in my hand. The Ancestor has decreed that whoever wields this sword shall slay traitors below and tyrannical rulers above. How dare you defy the Ancestor? Do you really intend to betray the Great Zhou for a vixen?"
If we were to fight each other now, it would truly confirm the crime of treason and rebellion.
Not only will the entire Zheng family be implicated, but all disciples of the Zhuge Clan will also be labeled as remnants of the Sui Dynasty, and regardless of the truth, they will become wanted beggars.
Mo Yunhan's entire body was tense.
A faint red tinge emanated from beneath his eyes.
Jiang Qingwan pulled his arm and whispered, "I don't need you to save me. I want to leave, and they can't stop me."
Ink-black clouds and cold messages.
But what he cares about is what will happen after he leaves.
Are the two of them destined never to see each other again?
He absolutely did not want this outcome.
"You did nothing wrong, so why did you leave?"
He tightened his arms and hugged the person even closer.
Seeing him reach for the soft sword at his waist, Mo Yunzhao shouted urgently, "Xiao Jiu, stop fooling around!"
As they were speaking, a sudden gust of wind swept through the hall.
This was followed by the Empress Dowager's terrified scream.
"presumptuous!"
Akamori appeared in the hall at some unknown time, his long sword held directly against the Empress Dowager's vulnerable neck.
"The Empress Dowager disobeyed the Emperor Emeritus's decree and left Kunning Palace without permission. According to the law, she should be executed!"
"You dare!"
Mo Yunzhao's eyes blazed with fury.
When his mother was killed right in front of him, his imperial dignity vanished completely.
The Empress Dowager felt that the skin on her neck had been pierced.
I was both shocked and frightened.
"Can't you see the imperial sword in my hand? You scoundrel, release me now!"
Yan Yunqing had already led a number of Imperial Guards to block the entrance of the palace.
In the courtyard of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, a large group of archers were gathered.
Akamori ignored this, coldly tugging at the corner of his mouth.
"The Red-Armored Guards obey only the Emperor Emeritus's orders!"
He then proceeded to actually slit the Empress Dowager's throat on the spot.
Such a crazy and outrageous act terrified Mo Yunzhao, making his heart tremble.
"Wait...wait, isn't it just giving me medicine? I agree."
He looked at Mo Yunhan as he spoke.
"Xiao Jiu, you have truly disappointed me. The Emperor Emeritus has treated you well. Over the years, he has protected and indulged you, yet you have prevented him from resting in peace even in his final moments. If anything goes wrong after administering this medicine to the Emperor Emeritus, you will have to go before our ancestors and apologize."
Jiang Qingwan was speechless and laughed.
"So whether or not to feed him is Mo Yunhan's responsibility? You're forcing him to rebel, huh? Fine, then we'll rebel! I want to see what you people can do to me!"
She rarely gets angry.
Even though she was humiliated by the Qin family back then, she felt more grief than despair.
Now, she really wants to kill all these people who are turning black into white.
Where are the Red Armor Guards?
With a delicate shout from her.
Outside and inside the hall, several figures landed.
Each of them acted silently, demonstrating their profound skill.
Yan Yunqing's nerves tensed instantly.
Both Chi Sen and Mo Yunhan are skilled fighters that are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
In addition, there are the elusive Red Armor Guards.
This is bound to be a tough battle.
He stood at the entrance of the palace and shouted loudly.
"Archers, prepare to protect the emperor!"
The creaking sound of crossbows being fully drawn, like a death knell, made the atmosphere in the hall even more tense.
The old eunuch kneeling beside the bed suddenly burst into tears.
"The Emperor Emeritus, the Emperor Emeritus... he's gone."
Zhong Yuan was greatly surprised.
No longer caring about anything else, taking advantage of Chen Yuanpan's inattention, she pounced on him, snatched the wooden box, ran to the bedside, and quickly stuffed the pills into the Emperor Emeritus's mouth.
He quickly went to fetch water.
When he turned around, the pill had already melted into the Emperor Emeritus's mouth.
Zhong Yuan became even more confident.
"Yes, this is the medicine of the divine physician Luo Tian. It melts in the mouth and is a divine product. The Emperor Emeritus can be saved."
Mo Yunhan's face was terribly gloomy.
He suddenly chuckled softly twice.
"Little Ninth, how long have you been planning this for today? You even bribed the Emperor Emeritus's Red Armor Guards. I heard that you also took Father's most treasured tiger to the Ninth Prince's residence and entrusted it to the Ninth Prince's wife to raise. You two are truly cunning."
He raised his eyes and stared intently at Mo Yunhan and Jiang Qingwan.
"No wonder you looked down on so many daughters of important officials, yet you insisted on having me issue an edict to marry a divorced woman with no background. You just wanted to use her to bewitch Father. Father's health is not good, but it shouldn't be this bad. Looking back, it all happened after the two of you got married. Even the destruction and repair of the Nine Dragons Formation are inseparable from the two of you."
“Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!”
At this time, many court officials were already waiting outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The scene inside the hall was not clearly visible, but the accusations could be heard clearly.
Coupled with the tense standoff in the courtyard, everyone felt uneasy and fearful.
"Is the Ninth Prince really planning a rebellion?"
"His Majesty has always been gentle, and he has been especially kind to the Ninth Prince. If he hadn't found solid evidence, why would he be so angry?"
"All the best guards of the Imperial Guard are here, even archers have been used, how could it be fake? This Ninth Prince is truly a scoundrel."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Zheng Qing was so angry he wanted to punch someone.
But He Nian stopped her.
