Chapter 038 The villain who usurped the throne, Alpha13 (End)
Jian Ziyan was stunned, his pupils suddenly contracted, and then he looked at the communicator that had not been disconnected.
"Are you surprised?" Si Wang's voice came in, "This is not a stage for you alone. I'm sorry to butt in."^
Jian Ziyan widened his eyes and opened his mouth silently. For the first time, he felt that he had nothing to say.
In the end, he could only utter: "Are you crazy?"
"I'm not crazy. I feel sober now. I've never been so clear-headed before."
The Emperor's warship followed the Marshal's warship without hesitation and rushed into the encirclement of the Worm Queen. Endless light blades spread out from around it, cutting off all the nearby tentacles, and the Worm Queen let out a painful buzzing sound.
"Jian Ziyan, during the past few days of chasing you in space, I have thought a lot about things. Since this is what you want, what I should do is not to stop you, but to help you. But in exchange, you have to let me do what I want."
"You're all crazy." Bai Mingxi murmured in despair, "Is it fun to rush to your death? I beg you to wake up and come back!"
"It's too late." Si Wang's calmness concealed an extreme madness. He stared at the shadow of another battleship on the screen, and even showed a slight smile on his lips. "Jian Ziyan, don't think about dying by yourself. Since you have let me see you walking down this path, I will grab your sleeves and hug your legs. Even if I have to bite you to bleed, I will not let you go on by yourself."
Jian Ziyan was silent for a long time. If his warship had not been fighting all the time, people would have thought he had hung up.
Si Wang was not in a hurry to urge him to respond. He drove the Imperial Battleship beside Jian Ziyan and cleared all obstacles for him.
He knew what Jian Ziyan was going to do. Mental attacks were more effective at closer distances. Jian Ziyan wanted to go to the insect mother's brain area. In that case, he would escort him there.
Then, they were buried together there.
In the signals sent back to the Imperial Star by the warships, people could clearly see that the larger warship spread its gliders and soared around the other warship like a huge flying bird, as if protecting it under its wings. It was also like the most loyal guard, which would rather become dilapidated gradually, and would not let the other warship get hurt as long as it was there.
Inside the Emperor Star's main control room, everyone who saw this scene fell into deep silence.
"Si Wang has made up his mind. He wants to die with Marshal Jian." Su Sui'an's voice trembled, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, "No one can stop them."
"No..." Bai Mingxi almost climbed onto the control console. His fingertips trembled as he touched the position of Jian Ziyan's warship on the screen. He pressed his face against the cold screen with tears in his eyes.
"Zi Yan, Si Wang." He burst into tears, "Why must it come to this... Why must I die..."
On the other end of the road, Jian Ziyan heard the crying whisper completely.
It was not just Bai Mingxi's voice, he also heard Si Wang's words before, but he didn't know how to respond.
His connection with these people was originally an accident and a mistake. According to his plan, he should have died before they knew the truth.
But now not only did they know, they also showed him kindness that he could never give back.
He learned how to be deceitful and calculating, but he never learned how to respond to the kindness of others.
This heavy kindness was so beautiful, so beautiful that even he wanted to sink into it for a moment and start considering a future that did not exist.
Just like a dream, you will eventually wake up.
He does what he should do, paves the road that should be paved, and then he doesn't want to care about anything else that happens afterwards, and he can't care about it.
“That’s a good point, but I don’t want to hear it.”
Jian Ziyan's voice finally came out again, reaching everyone's ears through the vast universe.
"What do you mean if you help me, I will satisfy you? In my dictionary, Jian Ziyan, it is only for others to listen to me, and it is not reasonable for others to order me."
Si Wang from here
He keenly heard some meaning in the words, and his pupils suddenly shrank, but the fierce battle hindered his movements. In this one second, a powerful mental force instantly locked his consciousness, and his hands and feet all stopped halfway, unable to move at all.
Si Wang was filled with shock and fear. He tried to open his mouth, and the first sound that came out was a hoarse roar.
"Jian Ziyan——"
"Why call you grandpa?"
Jian Ziyan was not angry at all, and there was even a smug smile in his voice. He had controlled Si Wang, the most powerful man in the entire empire, in one fell swoop. This was no small achievement.
"Let me go!" Si Wang roared, "This is not fair!"
"Fairness? That's not something I can find in my vocabulary." Jian Ziyan looked at the small green dot on the screen that was being controlled by him and was gradually moving away, his tone full of contempt. Then he thought of something and his tone calmed down, "But pursuing fairness is a very good quality."
Si Wang opened his eyes wide, his eye sockets almost torn apart, he watched Jian Ziyan's warship getting farther and farther away from him, unprecedented despair overwhelmed him: "No..."
His head was buzzing. He could not hear the harsh scraping sound of the insect queen's tentacles when it tried to stop the warship from leaving, nor the endless explosions. Only Jian Ziyan's voice penetrated the flames of war and the stars and went straight into his ears.
"Si Wang, the day I met you, I thought that if there is someone who can overthrow this dirty feudal rule, it can only be you."
"I once hoped that I could be that person, but I tried and it didn't work. I'm too extreme, too self-centered, and too inconsiderate of others, so you have to be the only one."
"You have a bloodline that satisfies everyone, but you grew up among the common people. You know what they really want and need. You have always been more suitable than me."
"You will be a good emperor. Or maybe you won't be called an emperor anymore. It's all good if you are replaced by something else. I look forward to seeing that day."
——But he was destined not to wait.
"Ziyan——"
"Marshal Jian!"
Everyone who heard the sound couldn't help but cry sadly.
How great the sentiments and how noble the character must be to think that you have done nothing after doing so many things?
What kind of courage and open-minded attitude does one have to face death as if it were life, remain calm in the face of the insect queen, and even walk towards death with a smile?
Si Wang's eyes were bloodshot and red. He had no tears, but sadness and despair spread all over the place. He tried his best to move his limbs, and actually under Jian Ziyan's control, he moved his fingers slightly.
"Jian, Zi, Yan."
He coughed up blood.
"Let me go..."
Jian Ziyan said: "Si Wang, if I let you live, you have to live. How can I let the new king who I have spent so much effort to train die in my own hands?"
After saying that, he let out a familiar arrogant laugh, then stabbed the insect mother's brain with a bang!
boom--
In Si Wang's pupils that had shrunk to the extreme, brilliant fireworks exploded in the silent and dark universe. The sweeping heat wave blew his battleship away in an instant. His blood was surging and rolling up and down, but his eyes remained motionless, staring at the center of the explosion.
"Ziyan! Jian Ziyan!"
"Jian Ziyan——"
Countless desperate cries were heard from the communicator, but the warship that should have responded only made the crackling sound of electricity.
Just when everyone's heart was tightening, a faint cough was heard.
"It's so beautiful." Jian Ziyan said.
Whether it was Si Wang's eyes or the screen of the Emperor Star's control console, everyone saw that dazzling and beautiful scene.
What was left behind after the explosion of the insect mother was not ruins and debris, but an explosion nebula with starlight. The fragments and residues of the stars slowly flowed around the black hole-like explosion center, where Jian Ziyan was.
No one can get in, even if he is Jian Ziyan, he cannot walk back and forth in the exploding nebula alive.
"I'm here to...save you..."
Because of Jian Ziyan's weakness, his control over Si Wang's mental power was naturally much weaker. Si Wang exerted so much force that his internal organs burst and bled, but he still had to crawl to the operating table and control the battleship to fly into the nebula.
"Don't be silly. I'm saying, you have to survive." Jian Ziyan laughed twice, then seemed to be choked by the blood, coughed twice, and his voice completely weakened.
The pain made his consciousness blurred, and his voice no longer had the forced strength, but revealed a softness he had never had before.
He had never spoken so many words before, and he had never thought that he would have such a tender moment. In the face of life and death, everything became unreasonable.
"I am very selfish. I arranged the fate I wanted for you and single-mindedly decided what path this empire should take. I don't care what anyone thinks and don't want to ask for anyone's opinion. I just insist on what I want... I didn't expect that in the end, I would selfishly take away a pure and innocent life."
He also wanted to bring this young life into this world and let him see the new and glorious empire without war from now on.
It’s just a pity that there is no such opportunity anymore.
"sorry."
After saying this, his voice completely disappeared from the communicator. No matter how much others screamed, they could never get a response from him.
Amid Bai Mingxi's unwilling cries of "He's not dead", Si Wang lowered his head in confusion and looked at his hands that had suddenly become able to move flexibly.
The mental control was lifted, and there could only be one reason.
That means the person who controlled him is dead.
[Si Wang’s forgiveness value is now 100]
…
With the disappearance of the Zerg Queen, the entire galaxy ushered in true peace.
As a hero who fought against the Worm Queen single-handedly and even perished together with it in the end, Jian Ziyan's name resounded throughout the entire galaxy. People completely forgot the fictitious stigma that once afflicted him, and what was passed down to later generations was his reputation as a hero who endured humiliation and acted alone with courage.
However, the empire where the hero came from did not take the opportunity to expand its territory and annex the surrounding weak countries as others imagined.
On the contrary, they opened their doors to help everyone in need find peace and hope to survive.
At the same time, when no one realized it, the core of power of the empire, based on the intricate network of aristocrats, was quietly changing.
A huge group headed by common people began to rise. The emperor selected talented and capable people and employed them based on their abilities. He no longer opened the door of power only to the nobles. This move shocked people all over the galaxy.
Unlike the large-scale protests of the nobles, all the common people were ecstatic. There were many talented and capable people among them, but they were always bound by the times and could not do anything for the empire. They could only live a life of drunkenness and dreams, regretting that they were born at the wrong time.
But now, everything is changing step by step.
There was a period of turmoil within the empire, but it was quickly quelled.
It seems that nothing has changed in the country's system, but everything has changed.
Many years have passed in a flash.
Another summer, Bai Mingxi returned from his travels. On this special day, he suddenly wanted to go back to the imperial palace to see the man who was imprisoned on the ground.
He had already become a fifth-level mental healer famous throughout the galaxy. Even when entering the Imperial Palace, he did not encounter much obstruction and walked all the way to the main hall.
Even during the day, when the ministers should have been there for audience, the entire hall was extremely empty. The curtains on the huge windows were tightly drawn, barely letting in a few rays of cold light.
At the end of this empty road is the most honorable seat in the entire empire, and on it sits the most honorable, yet most pitiful, person in the empire.
In an instant, memories of the past came flooding back, and Bai Mingxi's breathing became a little stagnant.
Noticing his footsteps, the person on the throne raised his head first and asked calmly, "You're here."
Bai Mingxi did not reply, but quietly looked at the face that he once liked in the past.
His eyes were cold and empty. Deep in those eyes, which were as dark as the abyss, was a sealed memory and a trapped ghost.
Although still handsome, he seemed like an unliving person. The real Si Wang had died in the interstellar explosion that year. What was left now was just a walking corpse forced to stay in the world according to Jian Ziyan's wishes.
The adolescence of a top Alpha should be long, but he has already grown gray hair.
"You're still the same." Bai Mingxi said, "You haven't changed at all."
"Really? That's perfect." Si Wang said, "If it can remain unchanged, he will still recognize me when I die."
Knowing who he was talking about, Bai Mingxi lowered his eyes. Even after so many years, he still couldn't suppress the pain that surged up in an instant.
They grow older year by year, but the people they love remain forever in their most brilliant age of 21, in that grand summer.
"How long do you plan to stay this time?" Si Wang asked proactively.
"I'll leave after his death anniversary." Bai Mingxi answered, and then asked, "Will Su Sui'an come back this year?"△
In the second year after the death of the Insect Mother, Su Sui'an requested to be transferred from the Emperor Star to guard the remote border Aoshuang Star, in order to protect the explosion nebula that still exists today.
Si Wang shook his head slightly: "He didn't report to me, so he probably won't reply."
"Oh." Bai Mingxi responded, and the two fell silent.
They have been getting along in this way ever since Jian Ziyan's death. Before, they knew each other's thoughts, but now they can only remain silent.
But Bai Mingxi felt that he was still luckier than Si Wang. He was able to travel across the stars and heal his pain through travel and countless new experiences. However, because of Jian Ziyan's expectations, Si Wang had been imprisoned by himself in this huge and narrow imperial palace, drawing a circle on the ground as a prison and locking himself up tightly.
Instead, Si Wang took the initiative to speak again: "He Ling said a few days ago that he missed you. If you are free, go see him."
He Ling was a child adopted by Si Wang from the Imperial Orphanage a few years ago. This child was gifted and ambitious, and had always been trained by Si Wang as his heir. Now he is the tacit crown prince of the entire empire.
"I understand." Bai Mingxi agreed, "If everything is fine, I'll leave first."
Si Wang nodded.
Before leaving the hall, Bai Mingxi couldn't help but look back again. Under the cold rays of sunlight, the noble emperor sat on the throne, exuding the lonely aura of an abandoned child.
…
After many years without war, the Imperial battleship was finally launched.
Si Wang didn't tell anyone and drove the battleship to Ao Shuang Star again.
This was his first time landing on Aoshuang Star, and he was stunned as soon as he landed.
This is a remote and desolate planet with almost no human habitation, but he had never expected that there would be flowers blooming all over the mountains.
This flower is a bright red, and each one looks like a fluttering butterfly. They bloom in such dense clusters that they seem to be spread all over the planet, shining beautifully against the brilliant light of the exploding nebula above.
However, Si Wang was stunned not because of the beauty of the flower, but because of the fragrance that instantly rushed into his nose, instantly stirring up his memory and soul.
Si Wang stood among the flowers for a long time, lost in distant memories.
How could he forget this scent, not even if he died?
This is the smell of Jian Ziyan's pheromone.
At this moment, he saw a figure in the distance. He walked over and found a familiar yet unfamiliar back.
Hearing his voice, the man turned around on his own initiative, with a look of surprise and understanding on his much more mature face, and then he quickly saluted him: "Your Majesty."
Si Wang stared at him for a long time before he extracted this person's name from his distant memory.
"Li Shaoqing?"
This was exactly the young master who was held hostage by Jian Ziyan when he went to capture Jian Ziyan on the civilian spaceship.
After so many years, the young master has become the old master.
"Yes, Your Majesty actually still remembers me." Li Shaoqing obviously did not expect this and was a little flattered.
Si Wang just nodded and asked, "Are you here to commemorate him as well?"
Even if it wasn't said directly, both knew who this was referring to.
After all, there is no one else here worth commemorating.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Shaoqing showed a nostalgic look. He looked up at the gorgeous nebula and said, "This planet is the closest place to the Marshal.
I come to see it every year whenever I have time.”
"You don't hold a grudge against him." There was no emotion in Si Wang's tone.
"How could I hate the Marshal? He never wanted to hurt me. I was too nervous and bumped into him." Li Shaoqing's face was full of memories when he talked about this. His eyes sparkled when he had close contact with Jian Ziyan. "And the Marshal even told me quietly not to come to Aoshuang Star, regardless of his own danger. I didn't understand it at that time, but later I found out that this was actually the nest of the Insect Queen."
"What?"
Si Wang was shocked and looked at him in astonishment: "He... told you this?"
"Yes." Li Shaoqing sighed, "It's a pity that even after so many years, I can't say thank you to the Marshal in person."
The expression on Si Wang's face gradually faded. He thought his heart, which was already cold enough, inevitably began to ache when he heard this.
It turns out that you have always been like this. Even when you are in the most dangerous time, you still try your best to save others.
"You're not the only one who owes him a thank you." Si Wang said, and then asked casually, "Do you know what kind of flowers are blooming on this planet?"
"Your Majesty, it's phoenix flowers." Li Shaoqing said, "It's strange, I came to this Aoshuang planet many years ago, and there were no such flowers at that time, but in the year when the marshal died, this planet was suddenly full of phoenix flowers, like flames, bright and beautiful, and endless."
Bright and beautiful, everlasting.
Si Wang looked into the red cloud of fire in a trance, as if he saw the man's bright and proud face.
"Turns out, it's the poinciana." He murmured softly.
The flower language of Poinciana is fiery happiness and longing for separation.
Li Shaoqing had no plan to spend the night here. After saying goodbye to Si Wang, he left Ao Shuang Star. Si Wang was left alone standing among the phoenix flowers, staring at the endless flower field for a long time.
After an unknown amount of time, he turned on the computer, sent a message, and then crushed it to pieces.
"Ziyan."
He looked down at the gorgeous and blooming Poinciana flowers, and transparent tears dripped down under the moonlight.
"I have done what you asked me to do. Now allow me to go find you and the baby, okay?"
The Imperial battleship started slowly and flew into the exploding nebula on this quiet and gentle night.
Rumor has it that in the very center of the exploding nebula, the emperor found his lover, and the two slept in each other's arms with smiles on their lips.
…
419: "In the second world, the total forgiveness points obtained are 45,000,000, which have all been converted into equivalent points. Adding the points obtained in the first world and the points used to purchase items in the middle, the remaining amount is 42,000,000."
Jian Ziyan slumped on the sofa, like a powerless salted fish, but his mouth never stopped moving.
"That's it? That's it? There are only this many people in this world and the entire universe? I am so disappointed!"
"After all, it's just a fictional world that hasn't been activated yet. It's good enough to give you some living people. Besides, each person may only give you a few points." 419 was very happy, "Host, although you are very contemptuous, but your progress bar is almost halfway through after only two worlds. It's simply the fastest host I have ever seen!"
Jian Ziyan: "Praise me if you want, but don't step on me at the same time, okay?"
419: "Oh, I accidentally said what was in my heart. Sorry."
Jian Ziyan rolled his eyes: "You just rely on the fact that you don't have a body so I can't beat you... But it's a pity that after leaving that world, I won't be able to receive subsequent forgiveness points. I bought so many flower seeds in vain."
Otherwise, from that day on, everyone who went to Aoshuang Star to mourn him could contribute a little forgiveness. How great it would be. Although it is very little, even a little bit counts.
419 was speechless about the host's fussing. He didn't seem to think it was a great thing to gain more than 40 million forgiveness points after only experiencing two worlds, and he always cared about every little bit.
However, he had gradually gotten used to Jian Ziyan's style of doing things, so he asked calmly, "Do you want to enter the next world?"
Jian Ziyan sighed helplessly: "The donkeys in the production team were not exploited like this... Yes, yes, yes, it's not enough."
When each person and each system were put into the next world again, they didn't know that in the distant main world where Jian Ziyan was born, the eyelashes of a vegetative patient lying on the hospital bed trembled slightly.
…
This world is set in ancient times, with the country's name being "Jing". The Jing Dynasty lasted for five generations and produced an emperor who was extremely good at disguise, but was suspicious and persecuted loyal officials.
The person Jian Ziyan traveled to was the regent who overpowered the tyrant emperor and controlled the government of Dajing. The only thing he lacked was to change the country's surname to his own.
The original body was an orphan, a scholar from a poor family, but he was extremely talented and brilliant. He won the top spot in the imperial examination at the age of fifteen and became the prince's tutor at the age of eighteen. However, he was too handsome and the old emperor had always coveted him. But he knew that not touching the original body would be more beneficial than touching it, so he reluctantly endured it. However, his words and actions were inevitably obscene and pretended to be intimate.
The protagonist of this story is none other than Crown Prince Pei Mingjue.
Pei Mingjue deeply admired his father. He also fell in love with the original body at first sight in his youth and was impressed by his charm. The original body also taught him sincerely at that time.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. As the old emperor gradually showed his fangs, the contradictions became more and more acute. The original body entered the court with a heart full of passion, but he did not expect to be insulted by the current emperor. From then on, he hated the entire royal family, and his eyes became colder and colder when he looked at Pei Mingjue, until one day Pei Mingjue saw the original body enter his father's bedroom with his own eyes, and his pupils trembled.
At this time, the old emperor was getting older and becoming confused. He began to pursue elixirs and the Way of Taoism. His methods became more and more brutal, and he even started to beat and scold Pei Mingjue. Pei Mingjue believed that it was his original body who had bewitched his father, and that it was power that corrupted the once gentle young man.
The original body was too disdainful to defend himself. He had no foundation at all, and all the forces were built up by himself. Dealing with the father and son at the same time made him exhausted, and his murderous intent became stronger and stronger.
Just before the original body was ready, the old emperor went completely crazy. He attacked the original body without caring about his face. However, at that time, his body was already weak due to taking medicine for a long time, and he was unable to take any substantial action. Therefore, he became angry and punished the original body in other ways, even poisoning him, wanting to make him a puppet who would only listen to him.
But the original body was even more powerful. Not only did he kill the old emperor, he also passed the poison that the old emperor had given himself to Pei Mingjue.
Pei Mingjue knew that he was now powerful and did not dare to confront him head-on. Even if he tried to refuse, he had to drink the poison he sent him several times. He had long been resentful of him, and in the end he witnessed his original body killing the old emperor, and he would never stop fighting him.
Pei Mingjue knew that even if he ascended the throne in this way, he would only become a puppet of his original self. Therefore, he contacted the first-rank general who was loyal to the emperor and the country, that is, the protagonist Gong Liushishan, in advance. On the day of the coronation ceremony, he risked his serious injuries to create chaos and escaped by force.
The original person did not dare to announce the news of the new emperor's disappearance. He claimed that the new emperor was too sad and ill, so he would temporarily take charge of the morning court. From then on, the entire Jing Dynasty fell into the hands of the original person.
He never gave up searching for Pei Mingjue, but due to the cover of Consultant Shan, there was no news.
It was not until Pei Mingjue brought his advisor Shan and 500,000 troops to the court that he ruthlessly tore apart the false facade that his original self had created in front of all the ministers, revealing his wolfish ambitions.
In the end, the original body was thrown into prison and was soon sentenced to death.
After Jian Ziyan finished reading it all, he touched his chin and said, "This world..."
419 was a little worried: "Is it difficult?"
“…It’s too easy!” Jian Ziyan’s next words almost made 419 suffocate.
"Look at what the old emperor did. If I were him, I would find it challenging." Jian Ziyan shook the script loudly. "The original body was forced to become like this. I even think he is too soft-hearted. When he killed the old emperor, he should have killed the young one as well. What trouble would he leave behind?"
419: "Don't be too confident. If something goes wrong, don't blame me for reminding you."
Jian Ziyan was full of confidence: "No, just add a little more content... start editing."
He picked up the keyboard: He did swallow the poison that the old emperor forced him to take. He knew that this was a means of controlling him, and that he wanted to use his blood to pave a prosperous and prosperous era for the young prince. However, he did not expect that there was a darker purpose underneath...
After finishing editing, Jian Ziyan went to take a look at the appearance of this world as usual.
Different from the majestic and bright appearance in the previous world, the current Jian Ziyan is tall and slender, with his hair tied up with a jade crown, and wearing a loose dark court robe. He has a handsome and heroic face, with an indelible sinister look between his brows, as if there is an icy abyss. Due to his broken filter, his face is pale, with a suppressed red at the corners of his eyes and lips. He does not look feminine, but makes people want to touch him.
Jian Ziyan nervously pried open his eyelids and took a look. Only after he was sure that it was not conjunctivitis but just the accumulation of toxins did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"Let's get started."
World buffering ends.
Jian Ziyan opened his eyes and found himself sitting in the Golden Palace, in a position just below the Dragon Throne. When he lowered his head, he could see a sea of black heads overhead. They were all ministers kneeling on the ground.
Jian Ziyan calmly raised his eyes and glanced at the dragon throne, and sure enough, it was empty.
There is no emperor, and he is not sent to prison. According to the nature of the system, he already knows which scene to put him in.
He calmed himself down and immersed himself completely in the role.
"Your Majesty is still ill today and should not work hard. I will continue to take over the morning court." His voice was a little hoarse, as if he was poisoned by something. "My colleagues, please report if you have anything to say. If not, please leave the court."
Unlike usual, there was a strange atmosphere in today's morning court. All the ministers kneeling on the ground did not speak immediately, but exchanged glances with each other secretly while kneeling.
This little action did not escape Jian Ziyan's eyes. He stared at the one who seemed the most agitated with a gloomy gaze: "Lord Wu, do you have anything to say?"
The expression of Lord Wu who was named froze for a moment, and then he slowly raised his head: "Lord Regent, I do have something to report."
"Oh?" Jian Ziyan's expression remained unchanged. "Tell me about it."
"I would like to report that the Regent Prince Jian Ziyan has detained the new emperor, deceived court officials, and disrupted the government. His crimes are unforgivable!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Golden Palace fell into silence. Some people looked shocked, some glared at Lord Wu angrily, some raised their heads calmly to determine their position, and some curled up their bodies for fear of attracting trouble.
In this depressing and quiet atmosphere, Jian Ziyan let out a soft laugh.
"Master Wu might be suffering from hysteria. He actually started talking nonsense in broad daylight." He ordered calmly, "Come here, help Master Wu go back to his house to rest. Don't come out until his condition stabilizes."
Many ministers showed anger on their faces. They knew very well that what Jian Ziyan meant by returning home to rest would either result in him being driven crazy or assassinated. The best outcome would be house arrest.
The power of the Regent has always been like this. He has absolute power and no one else has room to speak.
Just when the guards were about to take Lord Wu away, there was suddenly a commotion outside the palace, and then the tightly closed door was banged open!
“Stop it!”
Tens of thousands of elite soldiers were lined up neatly outside, and leading the way was a man with an upright posture, a delicate and three-dimensional face, a combination of deep sharpness and an evil handsomeness, which was contradictory and confusing, but his expression was full of undisguised hatred and resentment.
The whole court was in an uproar. Everyone knew this man. It was the young emperor who had just ascended the throne and was bedridden due to excessive grief!
Behind him, the first-rank general advisor Shan had a solemn and murderous look on his face, guarding the new emperor with a loyal attitude.
Pei Mingjue walked slowly into the hall, his eyes fixed on the arrogant Jian Ziyan, his voice filled with the satisfaction that revenge would finally be achieved.
"Jian Ziyan, didn't you expect that one day I would be able to come back alive?"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Jian Ziyan's expression did not change. He lowered his eyes, stood up calmly, walked down the steps step by step, and came in front of Pei Mingjue.
Everyone got nervous.
Knowing what crazy thing he would do, the advisor Shan at the side even drew his sword, ready to kill him on the spot if he made any unusual move.
However, in front of everyone, Jian Ziyan knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily.
"Your Majesty, I respectfully welcome you back to the palace."
