Tuoba An, who was originally burning with anger, was now like a volcano erupting and could not be contained. And Xie Yu'er, recklessly pouring a bucket of oil on the raging fire, made it even more fierce.

Tuoba An roared in anger: "How could you be so jealous! Look at your ugly face now. Even if I just look at you one more moment, I will feel sick to my stomach!" After saying that, he not only did not let go of Xie Yu'er in his arms, but hugged her even tighter, as if he was afraid that Ran Qi would suddenly rush up and hurt Xie Yu'er.

Ran Qi, who was standing by, was so angry that he trembled all over when he saw this. He pointed at Tuoba An and shouted indignantly, "Noble Concubine Xie seduced the master with her charm. This is a serious crime. She should be executed immediately to correct the atmosphere in the palace!"

Tuoba An, who was already furious, was furious when he heard Ran Qi threatened to execute Xie Yu'er. In addition, Xie Yu'er was leaning tenderly in Tuoba An's arms, sobbing, and her pitiful appearance made Tuoba An feel distressed.

So, Tuoba An opened his eyes wide, glared at Ran Qi fiercely, and cursed with gnashing teeth: "As the queen, you are so narrow-minded and have no tolerance for others. You are so jealous by nature. How can you be the head of the harem?"

Facing Tuoba An's rebuke, Ran Qi showed no weakness, he straightened his chest, raised his head and retorted: "Your Majesty is so partial to Concubine Xie, could it be that he is thinking of deposing the empress? Humph, if you have the guts, just try it!" For a moment, the atmosphere in the palace was extremely tense, and a fierce conflict seemed to be about to break out.

Tuoba An, who had already had the idea of ​​deposing the queen, was deeply hurt by Ran Qi's words full of disdain and contempt. He stared at the woman who had once attracted his heart with wide eyes and angrily, unable to suppress his surging anger.

"Someone come! Immediately depose Queen Ran Qi and send her to the cold palace!" Tuoba An roared, his voice echoing throughout the palace, as if it was going to shatter the tiles on the roof.

Seeing this, Xie Yu'er's mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smug smile. She secretly cursed Ran Qi for being so stupid that he would anger Tuoba An at such a sensitive moment. Isn't this just courting death and waiting to be abandoned?

Thinking of this, Xie Yuer couldn't help but feel lucky for her intelligence. If Ran Qi wasn't so stupid, she would have to spend more effort and methods to persuade Tuoba An to make up his mind to abolish the queen.

However, the news that Tuoba An had deposed the empress because he favored Xie Yu'er spread quickly, and spread throughout the palace like wings. For a time, the court and the public were talking about it. After hearing about it, many ministers were filled with righteous indignation and wrote to accuse Tuoba An of being biased.

Facing the criticisms from the ministers that rolled in like a surging tide, Tuoba Anton felt that the pressure on him instantly doubled, as if an extremely heavy mountain was pressing down on his shoulders, making it hard for him to breathe. However, despite this, Tuoba Anton's heart had long been as firm as steel. He had made up his mind and would never be shaken by these voices of opposition.

Among the many ministers, there were several sharp-tongued and upright censors who took the lead in threatening to die for this matter. They were filled with righteous indignation and passionately denounced Tuoba Andun's actions in the court, trying to use their lives to awaken this "lost" monarch. Unfortunately, Tuoba Andun turned a blind eye to this and even mercilessly ordered all these people to be executed. For a time, the entire court fell into a dead silence, and everyone was silent, fearing that they would follow the footsteps of those censors if they were not careful.

As time went by, the rumors about the "evil concubine ruining the country" became more and more rampant and intensified. At this time, Xiao Mian, who had been hiding in the dark, saw this opportunity and took the opportunity to raise the banner of "clearing the emperor's side" and openly launched a rebellion, thus kicking off a bloody storm...

When Xiao Mian led the crowd to the palace like a surging tide, the entire palace instantly fell into chaos and panic. Tuoba An just woke up from his dream at this moment. He stared at the scene in astonishment with his eyes wide open, and an indescribable fear surged in his heart - he was forced to abdicate! What made him even more unbelievable was that the person who took the lead in forcing the abdication was Xiao Mian, who had once been as close to him as a brother and depended on him for life and death!

Tuoba An pointed at Xiao Mian with trembling hands and shouted angrily: "Xiao Mian, what are you doing? How dare you lead a rebellion? I believe that I have never treated you unfairly. Now, as long as you take these people away quickly, I will forgive all your past actions!" However, in the face of Tuoba An's questioning and inducement, Xiao Mian just raised his head and laughed wildly.

"Hahahahaha... Tuoba An, you are no longer the you that I knew in the past! The friendship between us in the past has disappeared since the moment you forced Yu'er to be your concubine!" Xiao Mian said gritting his teeth, with anger and determination flashing in his eyes.

Tuoba An's face suddenly changed when he heard this. He shouted angrily, "Could it be that you dared to betray me today just because of a woman?"

Xiao Mian looked straight into Tuoba An's eyes without flinching and responded loudly: "That's right! It's because of this woman! But it's more than that? Ever since you insisted on getting Yu'er, you have been obsessed with women all day long, neglecting the affairs of state, making the people live in misery and full of complaints! Look at all the civil and military officials in the court, who is not dissatisfied with your absurd behavior?" At this point, Xiao Mian swung the sword in his hand violently, pointing at the ministers behind him who were equally filled with righteous indignation.

"Xiao Mian, how dare you be so presumptuous today, are you trying to rebel?" In the court, Emperor Tuoba An, with his eyes wide open, pointed at Xiao Mian who was standing below and shouted loudly.

Xiao Mian held his head high and replied fearlessly, "No, Your Majesty! I have no intention of rebelling, I just want to clear the court. As long as you can return Yu'er to me, I will lead everyone to retreat today, and you will still be the master of this world."

For a moment, the entire court fell into silence, with only Tuoba An's heavy breathing clearly audible. He thought to himself, on one side is the country that he had worked so hard to build, and on the other side is his beloved woman Yu'er. It is difficult to give up both, leaving him in a dilemma.

"Xiao Mian, don't be so stubborn! Yu'er's heart has already belonged to me. Even if you take her away by force, it will be in vain." Tuoba An suppressed his anger and tried to persuade the stubborn man in front of him.

However, Xiao Mian was unmoved and sneered, "Humph, Your Majesty is wrong. Yu'er and I have known each other since childhood and we love each other. If you hadn't stolen my love, how could we have such a situation today?"

After saying that, Xiao Mian waved his hand and shouted, "Come here!" In an instant, a group of soldiers wearing armor and holding weapons rushed in from outside the hall and lined up neatly behind Xiao Mian, all of them with solemn expressions and fierce momentum. These people were all loyal people that Xiao Mian had cultivated over the years, and they only obeyed his orders.
