Hearing what he said, Emperor Jing immediately became furious. After the death of Concubine Xian, he thought that Xiao Junhan was too young and childish, and he did not participate in those dirty things. He endured the anger without venting it. Xiao Junhan's body.

But who would have thought that not only did this rebellious son not want to repent, but he even resented himself. It’s really good!

Thinking of this, Emperor Jing immediately shouted outside, "Come here, where are the Imperial Guards!"

But what answered him was deathly silence.

And those ministers also belatedly discovered something in this strange silence.

After going to court just now, Xiao Junxi had other important matters to discuss with these dozens of ministers. Since it was related to this autumn, he invited Emperor Jing to come as well. Who would have expected that not long after entering the imperial study, Xiao Junhan would burst in, bringing with him a group of soldiers in armor!

If these people hadn't figured out what was going on before, at this moment, no matter how confused they were, they would realize what was happening, and their faces would suddenly turn pale.

If the Royal Forest Army fails to enter when called upon, it is either because it is under control or it is because it has defected!

But no matter which one it is, their lives may not be saved today!

Xiao Junhan laughed proudly and said grimly, "Father, there is no need to shout. Now this palace is full of my troops. You might as well save your energy and write the edict. Maybe I will be merciful and return it." I can spare the life of your most beloved son."

When he said this, he motioned over with a glance, and saw the guard who put the knife on Xiao Junxi's neck moving the knife demonstratively.

But Xiao Junxi remained expressionless.

On the contrary, Emperor Jing stood up involuntarily from his position, then slowly sat down and said in a cold voice, "You mutilate your brothers and feet, you are unfaithful and unfilial, you deceive the king and ignore your superiors, you are a rebellious minister and a traitor. If you want these beautiful mountains and rivers, don't even look at them. Do you deserve to sit in this position?"

With just one word, Xiao Junhan was completely enraged. He suddenly raised the weapon in his hand and slashed at the imperial case!

There was only a loud noise, and the sound of crackling and shattering made the faces of the ministers in the palace look even more ugly.

Emperor Jing became calmer at this time and looked at Xiao Junhan with a solemn look. He heard the latter take a step closer to him, gritting his teeth and saying, "Father, it's not up to you whether or not to write this edict today! Someone -"

After he finished speaking, he saw a young eunuch walking in from outside. He had a delicate face and was holding a red gold-forged box in his hand. There was a piece of green jasper inside, which was the national jade seal!

The little eunuch immediately shrank back when he caught Emperor Jing's eyes, but when he saw the situation at hand, he involuntarily straightened his back. Now that this has been accomplished, he has achieved the feat of following the dragon!

Eunuch Lin on the side looked horrified when he saw him, and he screamed in disbelief, "Xiao Haizi, you betrayed the emperor! Is this how the Za family teaches you?"

This little Haizi was sent to the palace a few years ago. Eunuch Lin saw that he was clever, well-behaved, and sincere, so he recognized him as his apprentice and taught him many principles of life. Together with the job of serving Long Live Lord personally, it was all arranged by Eunuch Lin for Xiao Haizi.

Who would have known that this little beast would be so ungrateful as to seek glory from the seller!

The father-in-law, who was called Xiao Haizi, bravely said, "Master, as the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are heroes. Don't you usually let us be your slaves?"

As he spoke, he held the box containing the jade seal in front of Xiao Junhan in a flattering manner, and said with a flattering smile, "Master, what you asked for is here."

Xiao Junhan took the box from his hand, the joy on his face became even brighter, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes when he looked at Emperor Jing, "Father, now that there is a jade seal as evidence, this edict cannot be fake, right? You said you Do you want to enjoy your old age and be a superior emperor, or..."

He didn't say the next words, but the meaning in his eyes made everyone present shiver.

"Xiao Junhan, after all these years, I have only raised a white-eyed wolf!"

Faced with Emperor Jing's question, Xiao Junhan only smiled sullenly and said, "Father, my son is still willing to respect you now, so don't give me a toast and be punished with wine!"

After saying that, he picked up a piece of rice paper from the table as if no one was around, slowly unfolded it, made an invitation gesture and said, "Father, please."

Emperor Jing looked at him for a long time, and when he saw the other person looking at him without fear, Emperor Jing suddenly closed his eyes, picked up a pen and wrote eight characters on the paper: The traitors and traitors shall be punished for their crimes!

Xiao Junhan's face suddenly turned ugly, and he said angrily, "Very good, then don't blame me, my son, for being rude!"

Seeing him personally pulling out a knife and pointing it at Emperor Jing, Eunuch Lin quickly stood in front of Emperor Jing and said in a sharp voice, "King Qi, aren't you afraid that your name will not be justified when you ascend the throne?"

Xiao Junhan snorted and said, "I have the jade seal to pass down the country, and it is justifiable! Old slave, believe it or not, I will kill you first!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was silent, but one person laughed inappropriately.

"Take a carrot as a national seal, Xiao Junhan, who gave you the courage?"

It was Xiao Junxi who spoke.

His eyes seemed to be filled with vast stars, and when he spoke, it was as if spring water was flowing down from the mountain, and it was instantly pleasant to listen to.

But the meaning behind these words made Xiao Junhan's face darker and darker.

"What did you say?"

Xiao Junxi sneered and said nothing. She just walked slowly to Emperor Jing's desk, and the soldier who originally put the knife on his neck involuntarily moved away.

Xiao Junxi turned slightly to block the sword for Emperor Jing. Then she glanced at the "jade seal" in Xiao Junhan's hand and kindly reminded, "You might as well take a bite and try it."

Of course, Xiao Junhan couldn't really bite it. He pinched the jade seal with his fingers dubiously, but he really found that there was an extra mark on it!

Xiao Haizi, who was originally full of joy, suddenly lost all color and fell to the ground.

Xiao Junhan also reacted at this time, and thrust the treasure in his hand to the ground. He fiercely stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Junxi's collar, and said sullenly, "Are you teasing me?"

Apart from Emperor Jing, the only person in the palace who can come into contact with the imperial seal is the regent Xiao Junxi!

Xiao Junxi looked at him like this and said calmly in her eyes, "If you turn around, it's still too late."

Xiao Junhan didn't know what he meant by his words, so he just snorted and said, "Turn back? This is what I am advising you to say. Obediently hand over the imperial seal and spare your lives. Otherwise, I will not be polite." Got it!"

As soon as he said these words, the soldiers in the palace immediately drew their swords, and the cold light flashed on the swords, which was dazzling.

It is indeed sharp.

Seeing that the ministers were trembling with fear, Xiao Junhan smiled proudly and said, "I count three, one."

After Xiao Junhan said this, he took a step back so that he could take in everyone's fear in his eyes.

"two."

However, after he finished his second count, Xiao Junxi's face was still calm and calm, while Emperor Jing looked at him as if he were a dead person.

This made Xiao Junhan very angry, coupled with some indescribable uneasiness. This emotion oppressed him, and Xiao Junhan couldn't help but spit out the third number viciously, "Three!"

As soon as the third number came out, the weapons in the hands of all the soldiers were pointed at one person.

The expressions of the ministers changed from fear to shock, and then to ecstasy.

The look Emperor Jing looked at Xiao Junhan showed no mercy at all.

But Xiao Junxi was still neither sad nor happy.

Only Xiao Junhan's face turned into disbelief when he saw the soldiers suddenly pointing the tips of their knives at him.

The smile froze on his face, and combined with the sudden change in expression, he looked particularly funny.

"You, you—"

However, Emperor Jing had already interrupted him and said, "Take down the traitor Xiao Junhan and put him in the prison!"

Until Xiao Junhan was taken away, the expression on his face was still full of disbelief. He couldn't figure out why the victory that was originally his own turned against him at the last moment!

Emperor Jing stood in the imperial study. One of the soldiers took off his helmet, knelt on the ground and said, "Fortunately, the general will live up to his command!"

This man is not an ordinary soldier at all, but the leader of the Royal Forest Army!

As early as when they learned about Xiao Junhan's rebellion plan, Xie Ruzhuo and Xiao Junxi had already laid a dragnet.

Xiao Junhan was arrogant and thought he had controlled the defense of the imperial city, but he didn't know that Xiao Junxi had used a trick to subvert the troops brought by Xiao Junhan with his own without knowing it.

Today's play was just for Xiao Junhan.

If he still had a shred of conscience and knew how to pull back from the brink, Emperor Jing would have let him go just now.

Unfortunately, Xiao Junhan did not.

After a few words of praise, Emperor Jing said a little tiredly, "I'll leave these matters to you, and let me know when you have the results."

This can be regarded as completely handing over Xiao Junhan's disposal power to Xiao Junxi.

Xiao Haizi on the side also reacted at this time, knelt on the ground and cried, "Your Majesty, this slave was threatened by King Qi, please forgive me!"

Emperor Jing glanced at him with disgust. Eunuch Lin knew his thoughts best. He sighed secretly in his heart and said with a cold look on his face, "Why are you still standing there in a daze? Pull him down and kill him with a stick!"

Xiao Haizi looked frightened and cried bitterly, "Have mercy on me, Your Majesty, please have mercy!"

But his voice didn't last long. After a while, the body that was dragged out completely disappeared with the crackling sound of sticks.

Emperor Jing didn't even look at him, he just stooped slightly and left. His back resembled that of an old man in his twilight years.

Xiao Junxi looked at his back, but she also knew that now was not the time for him to sigh, so she said in a deep voice, "Come here, send these adults back nicely."

The ministers walked around the gate of hell, their backs were soaked, and they all had mixed emotions at this time. Most of them were grateful that they were not in the wrong team just now.

So after just saying a few polite words, they all left the palace. Who dared to send the imperial guards to see them off

It wasn't until everyone left that Xiao Junxi ordered people to clean up the imperial study room before walking towards Concubine Ye's palace.

The people Murong Wan brought had also been swapped, so after Xie Ruzhuo tested her with words, he stopped talking when he saw that Murong Wan showed no repentance.
