“No, with the Xiao family army helping, if Yun Hao can’t handle it, he shouldn’t be emperor.” Xiao Yanchu didn’t want to waste any time alone with A Jin.
Su Ruojin just stared at him without saying a word.
Xiao Yanchu sighed. Oh well, we won't be separated anymore anyway, so there'll be plenty of time to spend together.
He lifted Su Ruojin onto the horse, held her close to his chest, and spurred the horse to gallop towards the palace.
At this moment, everything in the palace had settled down.
Empress Sun, Consort Xian, the eldest prince, the second prince, and Wang Jin knelt in the hall.
Emperor Kangwen sat on the dragon throne, coldly looking at the people in front of him.
"Father, Father, I was wrong, Father. Please give me another chance, I will never dare to do it again." Yun Shao cried and begged for mercy.
Yun Gan hurriedly explained, "Father, I only wanted to save you and stop my third brother. I had no intention of disobeying you. Please see this clearly, Father."
Emperor Kangwen picked up a booklet and threw it at Yun Gan, saying, "You keep a private army and dare to say you want to save me? Yun Gan, I really underestimated you."
Yun Gan picked up the roster from the ground, opened it, and his hands trembled as he looked at it.
Wasn't this register always kept by my elder sister? How did it end up in my father's hands?
"Guards, convey my decree: the Third Prince Yun Shao and Wang Jin, the Prefect of Qingzhou, are plotting a rebellion. Imprison them in the Imperial Prison and execute them by dismemberment in three days. Search the Prefect's residence and execute all those inside."
The Consort Xian was stripped of her title and given poisoned wine.
The eldest prince, Yun Gan, kept a private army, which was corrupt. He was demoted to a commoner and banished from Yun City, never to return.
The empress was deposed for her improper words and deeds and lacked moral character. She was banished to the cold palace.
The Duke of Jin has deceived the emperor and secretly assisted the Third Prince in plotting a rebellion. The Duke of Jin's mansion must be sealed off immediately, and all those within the mansion must be executed on the spot without exception.
All other related individuals will be thoroughly investigated by the Dali Temple, and once verified, they will all be prosecuted for treason!
Yun Shao collapsed to the ground, a pool of yellow liquid flowing out.
It's over, everything is over.
From beginning to end, Consort Xian knelt on the ground like a puppet, neither crying nor laughing, her eyes seemingly unfocused.
At this moment, Consort Xian slowly turned her head to look at Empress Sun, and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Sun Mingzhu, we've fought each other our whole lives, and in the end, we're both losers. Instead, that little bastard got the better deal. Hahaha, isn't that ridiculous? Hahaha!"
Consort Xian suddenly stood up and, taking advantage of a moment when no one was paying attention, rushed towards a pillar in the hall.
Bang!
Her body slowly collapsed, blood mixed with white liquid gushing from her head. Her eyes stared wide-open at Yun Shao, filled with resentment, before she breathed her last.
When his mother died right in front of him, Yun Shao was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment.
Then he shouted and crawled on his knees to the Empress Dowager, gently picked up his mother with trembling hands, and burst into tears.
Yun Gan tried to cry and beg for something, but the guards came up and pulled him away.
Empress Sun clenched her fists tightly, her eyes were bloodshot, and she remained silent.
No, she is not like Consort Xian!
Her son is still alive, and so is she.
They still have a chance!
However, Consort Xian is right about one thing.
Empress Sun looked at Yun Hao, who had stood silently to the side from beginning to end, her eyes filled with hatred.
So this is the real ingrate; she actually fell for his tricks.
good!
That's wonderful!
One day, she will get her revenge for the humiliation she suffered today.
Emperor Kangwen then looked at Xing Qin and Xing Yue, coughed a few times, and said, "Xing Qin has rendered meritorious service in saving the emperor and is hereby granted the title of Second-Rank General of the Cavalry. Xing Yue is a heroine who is no less capable than any man and has rendered meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion. She is hereby granted the title of Princess Jiayue. All other generals and soldiers shall be promoted one rank and awarded a year's salary."
"Thank you for your great favor, Your Majesty." Xing Qin led the generals in kneeling to express their gratitude.
Finally, Emperor Kangwen slowly looked at Yun Hao, and just as he was about to speak, a sharp pain suddenly shot through his chest.
Pfft!
He spat out a mouthful of black blood and then fainted.
"Your Majesty!" Huang Rensheng cried out anxiously.
