Just as he was about to turn around, he heard thunderous shouts and cries of killing all around him.
Countless personal guards surged out from both sides like a tide, surrounding the rebels. Even on the roofs of the palaces, countless archers were lying in ambush.
Prince Ning's face was pale, cold sweat dripping down his face. He was holding the steel knife, and at a loss, he heard a roar of anger:
"Prince Ning, you traitor! The Emperor has treated you well since ascending the throne. Why are you committing such a heinous act today?!"
Prince Ning looked in the direction of the voice and saw Su Xian walking out slowly.
At this point, he refused to lose his temper and simply shouted, "Su Xian, you're just a woman, how can you be a general? Fighting and killing is disgraceful! If you're willing to come into my backyard, I will love you dearly!"
"Bah! You're dreaming!"
Su Xian shouted loudly, then slashed with a sword and led his troops to meet the enemy.
The soldiers of the two sides fought in a group, and the sound of swords clashing was deafening.
Prince Ning is a member of the royal family and has been pampered since childhood. The private soldiers he raised only know some martial arts. How can they be a match for the veteran general Su Xian?
However, in a short while, most of the rebels were killed.
Prince Ning's face was covered in blood, and his body was covered in wounds. The jade crown that held his hair was knocked off. His hair was disheveled and his face was covered in blood. He looked very miserable.
Su Xian waved her hand and had Prince Ning arrested.
…
Seeing Su Xian, dressed in armor, escorting the tied-up Prince Ning into the palace, Empress Dowager Ye suddenly felt disheartened.
Su Xian, covered in blood, strode to the center of the hall, and Xiao Qingyun clasped his hands together and said, "Your Majesty, the rebels have all been exterminated!"
Xiao Qingyun nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, General Su!"
"Xiao Qingyun!" At this moment, Empress Dowager Ye looked at Xiao Qingyun fiercely, wishing she could grind him to dust: "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. The Regent is truly formidable."
Xiao Qingyun was cold, his face expressionless. "Empress Dowager Ye murdered the young emperor, rebelled and rebellious, and now, you still refuse to repent?"
Empress Dowager Ye laughed heartily. "You're saying I'm a rebel? Xiao Qingyun, don't forget who colluded with foreign powers to sever the Thousand Peaks Mountain range, causing the people of Wuyang to suffer and become homeless."
"The Regent should first clear himself of the crime of treason!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingyun's face darkened.
"The Regent didn't cut off Qianfeng Mountain at all, and the flood in Wuyang has nothing to do with the Regent!"
At this time, another loud voice came from outside the hall.
All the civil and military officials in the court immediately stretched their necks to look outside.
Today's morning is thrilling and blood-boiling!
Many heroes are competing for supremacy, and things are constantly changing.
Lingzhi was very familiar with the people who entered the hall this time. They were He Deshui, the chief magistrate of Wuyang County, and the old scholar.
They introduced themselves to everyone and talked about how the Regent and the Saint helped them to relieve the disaster in Wuyang.
"We can testify for the Regent that the Qianfeng Mountain range was already broken before the Regent arrived. The allegation of collusion with foreign nations is completely absurd!"
"Yes, the Regent and the Saintess truly care about the people and do their best to provide disaster relief. If it weren't for them, Wuyang would have become a deserted place long ago."
The truth was finally revealed, and Empress Dowager Ye, Prince Ning and the fake emperor were all taken away.
An old minister raised his arms and shouted, "Now that the young emperor has passed away, our Great Yan is leaderless. The court, both internally and externally, is in a precarious situation! Now, only you, the Regent, can inherit the throne. For the sake of our Great Yan, I earnestly implore you to ascend the throne!"
All the civil and military officials knelt on the ground and shouted:
"Please ask the Regent to ascend the throne as emperor!"
"Please ask the Regent to ascend the throne as emperor!"
"Please ask the Regent to ascend the throne as emperor!"
Xiao Qingyun hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed: "Alas... well, since that's the case, I can only reluctantly take on this responsibility."
Seeing that he finally agreed, all the ministers and officials immediately bowed down and shouted in unison:
"Your Highness, long live the Emperor!"
"Your Highness, long live the Emperor!"
"Your Highness, long live the Emperor!"
The rolling waves of sound swept across the sky, as if the heaven and earth were about to be shaken, and the loud shouts resounded in everyone's ears.
Xiao Qingyun stood with his hands behind his back, accepting the kneeling worship of civil and military officials.
The sun was shining brightly outside the palace, just like a golden light covering his body, reflecting the shining black robe on his body, as if he was about to fly away, showing the spirit of a generation of emperors.
The matter has been settled for the time being.
Xiao Qingyun ordered the young emperor to be properly buried and sentenced Prince Ning and the Queen Mother to life imprisonment, but he did not kill them all.
Prince Ning was confined in his palace and lived an unfree life.
When Empress Dowager Ye learned that she was going to be imprisoned, she actually hanged herself.
Xiao Qingyun and Lingzhi were both stunned when they heard the news.
Lingzhi sighed, "He is indeed a cruel and ruthless person. He is cruel and ruthless to others and to himself!"
Xiao Qingyun sneered: "If she hadn't been so wicked and had used her ruthless and decisive nature to help the young emperor secure his throne, how could she have ended up like this?"
"Okay, let's not talk about her anymore."
Lingzhi paused and said, "Now that the world is at peace, it's time for Junior Brother Bufan and I to return to the sect."
"You want to leave?"
Xiao Qingyun slowly stood up and looked into Lingzhi's eyes.
Lingzhi looked at him calmly: "Yes."
"No! Don't go!"
Xiao Qingyun held Lingzhi's hand tightly and said almost pleadingly: "Will you stay? As long as you are willing to stay, I am willing to give you the kingdom as a betrothal gift..."
"Your Majesty!"
Lingzhi interrupted him, "Your Majesty is the Supreme Ruler, so you will naturally have a harem of three thousand beauties. Why... do you still have to act so pretentiously towards me?"
