Chapter 177 I Want to Kill Your Son
"What do you want to do?" Jie Zhen walked into the palace openly and looked Zuo Dongrou up and down.
"I, Jie Zhen, am also of royal blood. Can't I visit the palace?" he said.
Although Zuo Dongrou was being held by the neck, she was still very imposing. "You?"
"How dare you claim that you are of royal blood?"
"The princess of your ancestors was just a concubine princess. There is no record of her biological mother..."
"Who knows if she is a princess?"
What Zuo Dongrou said was based on facts. Decades ago, when the royal family was sparsely populated, the emperor at that time was keen on conferring titles of princesses and duchesses, and then bestowing these titles on meritorious officials to show royal favor.
There is no record of the concubine princess's biological mother, so it is really hard to tell her origins.
"Even if that princess is of royal blood, how much of it do you have in your body now?"
When Zuo Dongrou said this, his expression was full of contempt.
What Jie Zhen hated most was the contemptuous looks others gave him when he mentioned that his ancestor was a royal princess.
He rushed to Zuo Dongrou angrily and slapped her in the face.
Her face was thrown to the side, blood was oozing from the corner of her mouth, and her cheek was swollen in a moment.
Zuo Dongrou had never suffered such an injury before. Tears flashed in her eyes, her lips trembled, and she was speechless for a moment.
Because Jie was very strong, her neck was swung to the side, and the brocade cloth left marks on her neck.
Jie Zhen is not tall, but he still casts an oppressive shadow in front of Zuo Dongrou.
His face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of anger. "Bitch!"
He shouted, "Look at the current situation clearly, do you still think you are the queen mother?!"
"You are..." He sneered, "You are nothing!"
Zuo Dongrou raised her eyes, tears welling up in them, but she held back her tears.
"Jie Zhen, I am the empress dowager!" Zuo Dongrou said this while looking at Gong Zi.
She winked at Gong Zi, wanting to know when Gong Zi was going to take action.
But Gong Zi had no intention of taking action.
Zuo Dongrou was terribly anxious. She was already in this state...why hadn't they taken action yet? How long did they want to wait?
At this time, another person came up to Jie Zhen and said something.
Jie Zhen listened seriously at first, but then his expression became more and more perfunctory.
When the man left Jie Zhen's side, Jie Zhen drew his sword and killed him.
"Ah..." A stream of hot blood splashed on Zuo Dongrou's cheek, scaring her so much that she closed her eyes and screamed.
Gong Zi, like everyone else, was so scared that he hid back.
Jie Zhen grinned and reached out to wipe the blood off the sword. He actually wiped the blood off his hand onto his cheek.
It looks a bit ferocious and perverted.
"Hahaha." He laughed loudly, not knowing who he was scolding. "Idiot, haha."
He turned around suddenly and stared at Zuo Dongrou, "You are all idiots."
Zuo Dongrou understood that Jie Zhen was scolding Zuo Lun, her elder brother.
"You...what kind of deal did you and Zuo Lun make?" Zuo Dongrou asked anxiously, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Jie Zhen was surprised that Zuo Dongrou knew that he had a deal with Zuo Lun.
He walked around, looking at her, "You actually knew that?"
"It seems that you know very well what kind of person your eldest brother is."
He laughed strangely, "Then did you know that your eldest brother wanted to kill you and your son?"
Zuo Dongrou secretly shuddered...
It turns out that the eldest brother not only wants to kill the prince, but also wants to kill her.
Yes, if she is not killed, does that mean she, the queen mother, should continue to stay in the palace and be the eldest princess?
Zuo Dongrou took a deep breath, "Where is he now?"
She wanted to ask him carefully, how could he be so cruel as to kill her after so many years of being siblings?
"he?"
Xie Zhen chuckled, "He's still waiting for me to give him a signal in the suburbs of Beijing."
"Hahaha." He threw his head back and laughed, "Just let him wait there, idiot."
Gong Zi narrowed his eyes. As expected, Jie Zhen had betrayed Zuo Lun.
However, he underestimated Zuo Lun.
Could it be that, without receiving his signal, Zuo Lun would not take any action outside Beijing?
There are also spies that Zuo Lun planted in the palace and around Jie Zhen, and it’s not just the one who just died.
By now, Zuo Lun might have already received the news.
Originally, he was just using Jie Zhen's name to serve the king, but now... Jie Zhen made the fake come true, which gave Zuo Lun a legitimate reason to act as his teacher.
Zuo Lun led his troops to the gate of the capital and shouted to the people in the city.
The gatekeeper was Ling Rui. He stood quietly on the city wall, listening to Zuo Lun's words.
Loyal to the King?! Humph..
What nonsense are you talking about?!
"Master Zuo, I haven't received any..."
Before he could finish his words, a man in black suddenly appeared beside him.
Before Ling Rui could speak, the other party had already spoken.
"General, it's me." The person pulled off the veil on her face, and it was Hongdou.
"you...."
"General, the young lady has something to say..."
Hongdou conveyed Ling Chan's words.
"This..." Ling Rui was in a dilemma. "Zuo Lun brought 30,000 people with him. If he brought these people into the palace, the consequences would be disastrous."
"General, the young lady has made complete preparations," Hongdou said.
Ling Rui recalled the rumors about Ling Chan's health problems caused by miscarriage, "Is your young lady... okay?"
"It's okay." Hongdou shook her head and said nothing more.
Ling Rui is still hesitating...
Hongdou waited patiently.
After about a cup of tea, Ling Rui gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll listen to her."
Under the city wall, Zuo Lun was still shouting.
Ling Rui shouted downstairs, "Master Zuo, news just came out from the palace that Jie Zhen has kidnapped the emperor and the empress dowager, and is demanding that the emperor abdicate the throne to him."
"Master Zuo, please come to the palace to support the king."
He shouted, "Open the door and let Master Zuo enter the palace to defend the king."
The soldiers below looked at each other in confusion, and after a moment they reacted and began to open the city gate to let Zuo Lun and others in.
"So smooth?" Wu Shao and Zuo Lun were walking in the middle. He felt that everything was going too smoothly and there seemed to be something fishy going on.
Zuo Lun snorted coldly, "Did you hear what Ling Rui said just now?"
Wu Shao looked at him. Ling Rui? The general who had just shouted?
"He is Ling Chan's father, but Ling Chan and him don't get along." Zuo Lun explained patiently.
"He just said that Jie Zhen has kidnapped the Emperor and the Empress Dowager..."
"There are people of mine around Jie Zhen, and they haven't sent any signals. This means... Jie Zhen has reneged on his deal with me."
When Zuo Lun said this, he was not angry at all, but rather a little happy.
"I must thank him very much. With him gone, my mission to support the king will have a more legitimate reason."
Wu Shao asked, "Did you guess that he would renege on your deal?"
Zuo Lun raised his head. He had thought about this possibility, but he was not very sure.
He had always thought that Jie Zhen didn't have the courage to do this.
I didn’t expect that Jie Zhen actually did this.
"Do you know what to do?" Zuo Lun said to Wu Shao.
