The new emperor actually guessed their identities?
Could it be that the new emperor came prepared and was waiting for them?
The crowd dispersed.
Duan Xiyue was the last one to emerge from the crowd and walked out.
"Fifth brother, I haven't seen you for a few years. I didn't expect that our reunion would be like this."
"You are now the emperor of the world, and I, your sister, am the loser in my attempt to seize power... We, as siblings, have finally reached this day."
"But tell me, if I kill you here today, can I successfully break into the palace and seize the throne?"
Duan Rongshi: "Royal sister, you are joking."
"Let's not talk about the fact that you, these hundreds of people, can't capture me today. Let's say that if you really succeed in taking my head..."
"Before you even enter the Jinling Imperial City, your troops will be wiped out by the Beitu Army."
"Even if you could break into the palace, would I, the empire I conquered, really recognize you as the new emperor?"
Li Qingluo also got out of the carriage.
She stood beside Duan Rongshi, looked at Princess Xiyue and shook her head.
"Princess, Ah Shi has known all your movements these days."
"He has not sent troops to capture you because of your brotherly relationship."
"Princess, this all needs to end."
Duan Xiyue raised her head and laughed bitterly.
"Finish?"
"Finish!?"
"My consort! My two sons! My beloved Nanping... they're all gone. How can I end this?!"
"At the beginning, I begged him not to send Nanping to marry..."
"He is also Nanping's uncle! Yet he still cruelly threatened me and ruthlessly sent my Nanping to that cannibalistic place!"
"To be honest, the reason I want to fight my way back to Jinling is not to seize your kingdom, Fifth Brother."
"I will personally skin Duan Rongjue alive! I will make his life worse than death, and let him suffer the most cruel punishment in the world. I will let his wife and children suffer the same way he did to me. Let them all die because of him!"
"All of you, die! Die!"
Duan Xiyue roared madly with red eyes, roaring out her hatred, her pain, and her unwillingness.
Duan Rongshi: "So, my sister is going to drag these loyal people to pay with her?"
"Imperial sister, I can hand Duan Rongjue over to you."
"As long as you dare to follow me."
After saying this, Duan Rongshi turned around, picked up Fangfang and got back into the carriage.
Xiyue raised her head in disbelief: "Really?"
"You will hand Duan Rongjue over to me?"
A hint of defensive doubt flashed in her eyes: "Could this be a plot to deceive me and capture me?"
Li Qingluo: "Whether you believe it or not is up to you, Princess."
"Ashi has so far resisted the pressure from the entire court and has not yet executed the old crown prince, because he knows that you must be unwilling and full of hatred."
"He is thinking of your brother-sister relationship. Otherwise, would we only bring these twenty or so guards out of the city today, given that we are the eldest princess?"
"If the princess trusts my husband and me, please come with us into the city."
"If you don't believe me, you can try this path of fighting today."
After saying this, Li Qingluo turned around and got into the carriage.
Fang Fang threw himself into her arms and called out in a baby voice, "Mother."
When Duan Xiyue, who was outside the carriage, heard the word "Mother", her heart trembled violently.
She and her husband gave birth to a daughter and two sons.
Now that all three children have met a tragic end, how can she, as a mother, not be heartbroken and in agony?
His once black hair is now mixed with white hair.
Whenever she heard the childish voice calling her "A Niang", Duan Xiyue would think of the time when her three children called her A Niang.
Duan Xiyue would feel even more hatred in her heart, and would be unable to accept and forgive Duan Rongjue's cruelty!
It has come to this point. Whether we believe them or not, how could the result be worse than hiding from place to place all day long, trying to make a comeback but being completely unable to do anything?
Instead of suffering day after day and living like a walking corpse, it is better to take a gamble!
She has nothing left anyway.
Duan Xiyue turned around and looked at his old subordinates who had vowed to follow him until death, feeling filled with emotion.
"I am leaving now, regardless of life or death, you all are not to follow me."
"From now on, this vast world, you can all go and pursue your own lives!"
"Don't look for a useless master like me anymore."
After saying that, Duan Xiyue got on the carriage and left with Li Qingluo and the others.
The remaining leaders looked at each other in confusion, "The princess doesn't want us anymore?"
"So, where should we go and what should we do?"
Pei Qinghong, the leader of the shadow guards, walked out of the woods.
"If you wish to be free, you may leave now. However, you must remain anonymous from now on, and never mention your past or your former identity again."
"Otherwise, anyone who reveals that they were once a member of the princess's staff will be brought to justice by the imperial court."
"Those who don't want to leave, just follow me."
If hundreds of people were released together, they would surely become bandits, so how could Duan Rongshi really release them all?
However, by changing their identities and returning them all to the army, it would also be a good opportunity to take in those who were once loyal to Xiyue.
Xiyue seemed to know that the emperor's younger brother would not kill all of his old subordinates.
In the carriage, she whispered, "Thank you."
"Fifth brother left the city today specifically to wait for me to show up, right?"
