"Are you surprised?" He chuckled.
Chu Ci sighed quietly, thinking about the court officials who couldn't wait to jump out during this period, and then thinking about the actions of various families in the capital, she had to admit that the Taifu's trick of luring the snake out of its hole was indeed a good one.
The noble families that had not been completely purged more than two years ago and had been cautious and had not revealed many clues, this time almost came out in full force, just to take advantage of Xiao Mo Kuang's absence and fight for this only chance.
During these two years, King Bo quietly recruited soldiers and cooperated with neighboring countries, intending to cooperate with neighboring countries from both inside and outside to eliminate traitors like Xiao Mo Kuang after he ascended the throne.
Seeing Chu Ci lowering her head, vaguely showing some of the cowardly and unpleasant look he remembered, he twitched the corner of his lower lip again and said, "But don't worry, second sister. I naturally know how you were pushed into this position. I also naturally know that your heart is not in this position. You even tried to escape from that traitor and have not been able to escape until now. I came here this time to fulfill your wish."
Chu Ci then raised her eyes, her eyes calm, and said, "I wonder where my two maids were sent to?"
The little girl's voice was soft and sweet, yet it carried an indescribable majesty and dignity.
Just looking at him calmly like that made him feel an indescribable sense of oppression.
He was just a puppet, sitting in this position for only two years...
Chu Zhe gritted his teeth slightly, calmed down a bit, and spoke again, "Of course, I'm already waiting for you in the carriage outside the palace. As long as you leave obediently, I promise that you will have no worries about food and clothing outside the palace and live a carefree life."
He clearly had a look in his eyes that showed he couldn't wait to get rid of her, yet he spoke so magnanimously.
Chu Ci blinked, but she knew that he would not deal with her now even for his reputation.
However, even though he is in a wheelchair and his power has been mostly destroyed by Xiao Mo Kuang, he still has the ability to recruit soldiers and hide his plans for so many years, which is quite impressive.
Chu Ci was thinking this, but Chu Zhe was already feeling a little impatient.
Just when he was about to ask the palace maids around to take Chu Ci away directly, he saw a general in silver armor walking quickly towards him and whispering a few words in Chu Zhe's ear, which made Chu Zhe's face change drastically.
He glanced at the palace maid with a cold expression and directly ordered someone to take Chu Ci away.
He was pushed by the general in another direction.
Something cold and sharp pressed against her back. Chu Ci paused and looked sideways. She saw the palace maid who had just helped her put on her clothes standing behind her, holding a small knife that reflected a cold light in her hand.
"Your Highness, the Second Princess, please."
…
At this moment in the front court, Chu Zhe was pushed to the court hall by the people behind him.
Looking at the tall and thin figure standing in the morning mist, his body suddenly froze.
The court officials around him knelt down, and all the subordinates he had hidden and deployed in the court were tied up and thrown aside, wailing. Although there was no bloody scene like the blood-stained palace a few years ago, the horror was still there.
As if he had noticed the movement behind him, the person standing in the clouds turned around lightly, and looked over with a pair of cold eyes that seemed to be smiling.
