Looking down at Ji Huaizhang lying in a pool of blood under the city wall, Sun Haitang was in a state of confusion.
She originally thought that because of her position in the master's heart and the relationship she had had for so many years, the master would fight to the death for her and the entire Ji family.
Therefore, even though she had been thinking about ascending to the throne all these years, she had never thought of killing the mistress immediately, instead letting her die slowly.
Because as long as he wins the world, he will eventually accept himself again when he is as powerful as the Queen Mother Tian.
But what she didn't expect was that everything she had planned would suddenly come to nothing.
He would rather die than fulfill his wish.
His mind kept replaying the vows and sweet words he had made to her, and then recalling his expression full of hatred for her just now, Sun Haitang felt that his whole world had collapsed.
"Zhang Lang, I did all this for the Ji family and you. Why do you treat me like this?"
Sun Haitang held his hands weakly on the edge of the wall, staring blankly at the city.
Ji Wanying was also anxious at this moment. Looking at Sun Haitang's mournful posture, she knew that it was impossible to rely on this woman to make any achievements anymore. She snatched the roster from her hand and waved the flags outside the city with a mighty wave.
The noble army shouted:
"For hundreds of years, no family has done anything shady, but now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, all based on a few lies from the new queen in the carriage under the city, the new emperor will kill you all, completely forgotten
The merits of the ancestors of each family. My mother, Princess Yanjun, protected you all a lot when she was alive. Now that she has died tragically, you have nothing to rely on anymore. If you don’t fight hard to win the new queen immediately, once this roster in the hands of this princess falls.
If you fall into her hands, the Mu family will be your fate."
After some provocative words were spoken, the situation became tense again, and the nobles began to gear up and eager to try.
Seeing this situation, Ji Rongheng took the lead in pulling out his sword and guarding Chu Nanzhi's carriage. He pointed his sword at the top of the city wall and shouted angrily: "I wonder who dares. I am Ji Rongheng, your Majesty's personally appointed General of Zhenxi. I am here. Sun's
I am forcing the governor to death in order to murder the queen. If you dare to help the emperor to commit cruelty, I will kill you without mercy."
"Brother, have you forgotten how the woman in front of you arranged for you to be sent out of Beijing to Langzhou? Now is a great opportunity for you to make contributions and avenge your shame. If you miss this opportunity, there will be no chance of you turning around.
, everyone in our Ji family is now pointing our fingers at you."
Ji Wanying persuaded her earnestly.
"Wanying, you unworthy descendant has really wasted the love that your grandparents and grandparents have shown you over the years. Your ancestors and Your Majesty have been especially kind to you because your uncle sacrificed his life for the country and you were lonely since childhood, but you still refuse to change despite repeated admonitions.
Now that you have forced your second uncle to death and incited nobles to commit treason, do you still want to force your grandparents to death as well?"
Ji Rongheng was already extremely disappointed with this cousin.
I really underestimated her. She looked harmless to people and animals on weekdays, but everything she did was shocking to the extreme.
But Ji Wanying was not willing to listen to his dissuasion and replied firmly: "My grandparents were just deceived by others. Sooner or later they will understand my painstaking efforts. My mother has done her best for the court and the emperor's grandmother over the years, but she has no political opinions with the new emperor."
She was abandoned by the Imperial Grandmother. After all, she is the Emperor's brother's biological aunt and the Imperial Grandmother's own flesh and blood. How could she end up like this?"
After finishing speaking, he once again faced the nobles gathered below the city and continued to persuade: "My mother died for you. She knew very well that the empire still relied on uncles and major wealthy families, so she would rather try her own way to protect it.
Ancestral system, are you going to let down all her hard work?"
Listening to this impassioned and high-sounding speech, Chu Nanzhi sat quietly in the carriage and felt it was funny.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, how could she have believed that the seemingly petite little princess had dared to incite the nobles to rebel.
Truly worthy of royal blood.
But Ji Huaizhang died in order to escort him out of the city and for the righteousness in his heart. She went deep into the dangerous place today and brought out all the hidden forces in Tanzhou. She must not let Ji Huaizhang die in vain.
Thinking of this, Chu Nanzhi walked out of the carriage resolutely, stood on the horse stool, looked around at the dark crowd with no end in sight, and shouted in a loud voice:
"Princess Yanjun did not hesitate to bring misfortune to tens of thousands of living beings in Langzhou for her own selfish interests. My ancestors killed her just to uphold the law of the country. Now the three states of Qinghe are being disturbed by all the distinguished nobles, but my ancestors thought that you have done a good job.
For the sake of Sheji, the imperial court has only ordered you to rein in the situation and not pursue your past mistakes, but you still do not want to repent. Please ask yourself, how can you live up to the fallen heroes and martyrs in this way?"
Helplessly, she glanced at Ji Wanying on the city. Her tone gradually turned high-pitched, and she said righteously: "Since I have chosen to come to Tanzhou, I have already prepared for the worst. Today, Governor Ji will not hesitate to die to protect your reputation.
, Although I don’t want to see my roommates fighting each other and killing each other, I will never be reduced to fish on the chopping board. If you insist on going your own way again, I would rather be broken into pieces than to be ruined. I am willing to go to Jiuquan with the Governor to
Help the imperial master."
As soon as this statement came out, the nobles were immediately shocked.
It was disrespectful for the Sun family and the princess to force the governor to death. If they force the queen to die in Tanzhou again, it will only make the imperial court more famous.
For a time, everyone became more hesitant and uneasy.
Looking at the wavering nobles, Ji Wanying became even more anxious and urged at the top of her voice: "Don't listen to her eloquent words. If you don't take her down quickly, what awaits you will be an abyss of destruction.
"
While everyone was hesitating, a rough roar suddenly came from the distance: "Who dares to make a mistake?"
Everyone looked for the sound and saw that the sky was filled with dust, and the flags covering the sky began to sweep across the entire Tanzhou City.
Then came an endless stream of sentries and cavalry passing through the military formation:
"Your Majesty personally led an army of 500,000 from Binzhou, Yizhou, Mengzhou and Xiazhou to Tanzhou. They have formed an encirclement. Your Majesty orally ordered that all of you are worthy of meritorious deeds and do not want to be loyal to the country, but you are in vain to take advantage of the imperial court's kindness and righteousness.
Keep it secret, if you dare to do another unjust act today, you will not be spared lightly."
Hearing the shouts of killing that filled the sky and the land, the nobles who had no backbone were frightened by the might of the military.
Not long after, a long line of dazzling light cavalry galloped towards the crowd from the east.
Looking at the most conspicuous imperial banner, Chu Nanzhi's heart tightened.
He stared blankly at the oncoming troops for a long time, until he saw a most familiar figure, his face could not hide the joy in his heart, revealing a relaxed joy.
"Brother Emperor?"
Ji Wanying was filled with confusion and felt inexplicable fear at Lin Jinxiao's sudden arrival.
Under the gaze of everyone, Lin Jinxiao, wearing golden armor and holding a silver gun, ran straight to the driver of Chu Nanzhi. Looking at her dull and confused expression, he smiled and pulled her from the car bench.
On horseback.
After being separated for several months, and being angry and distressed that she had put herself in danger today, Lin Jinxiao just held her waist tightly for a long time without saying a word.
"You, why are you here?"
Chu Nanzhi felt his calm breathing and knew that he would definitely blame her for entering the city alone today, but she seemed a little guilty.
Lin Jinxiao glanced at the tragically dead Ji Huaizhang under the city wall with cold eyes, then looked up at Ji Wanying who was looking at him, and said two words lightly: "Enter the city."
