Although she gradually began to understand, it did not mean that everything in the past could be written off. There was always a hurdle in her heart that she could not get over.

Ji Chenan had a disdainful smile on his face, but the ambition and greed in his eyes could not be concealed at all.

"Ji Lingzhou, this position was originally occupied by you. If you are sensible now, I will spare your life and give you a leisurely prince when I ascend to the throne. How about it?" Ji Chenan said the same words as in his previous life.

As soon as he finished saying this, he threw the cup in his hand out. The cup smashed to the ground and shattered into pieces. Han Wen, who was outside, also rushed in from outside the hall. The screams of some timid people were also heard around.

But just when everyone thought that Han Wen, as the commander of the Imperial Guard, should protect His Majesty's safety, they discovered that his sword was actually pointing at Ji Lingzhou above.

This scene shocked everyone. Commander Han betrayed? Cheng Mingran also widened his eyes when he saw this scene. Han Wen was also supported by the Cheng family, so what did his current behavior mean? To put it more seriously, what if he colluded with the rebels and implicated the Cheng family?

"Commander Han" Cheng Mingran stood up from his seat.

Han Wen looked over there, and not only Han Wen, but everyone at the scene looked over there.

"Commander Han, what do you mean by this? Do you know what crime it is to point a sword at His Majesty?" Cheng Mingran's momentum suddenly emerged.

Han Wen didn't care and just replied: "Madam Shufei, I know exactly what I am doing. You don't need to worry about it."

"You are plotting treason!" Cheng Mingran couldn't believe that he could say it so confidently, and he didn't seem like that kind of person, so how could he suddenly make such a decision?

Han Wen's expression did not change when he heard this, he just said calmly: "Han just made a better choice."

Cheng Mingran looked serious. Han asked what he was doing. She didn't believe he would make such a choice. But the situation before her...

She glanced in Ji Lingzhou's direction again, but Ji Lingzhou didn't seem surprised. Could it be that he had known about it for a long time?

But if he knew it long ago, then did he know about the collusion between these two people, or... was it already arranged?

"Ranran" Ji Lingzhou suddenly called her.

"Your Majesty..." Cheng Mingran didn't know what his intention was in calling her at this time.

Ji Lingzhou stretched out his hand to her: "Come here." he said.

Cheng Mingran pursed her lips and said nothing, but still walked towards his position. Ji Lingzhou held her hand and pulled her behind him: "It's okay, trust me." His voice was not loud, but Cheng Mingran still heard it very clearly.

She looked at their clasped hands, and Cheng Mingran felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart. She had never felt so protected by him before.

"Yeah," she agreed softly.

Ji Lingzhou checked Cheng Mingran's mood and was relieved to see that she was normal. In her previous life, she didn't show any fear when threatened by the bad guys, so what was this little scene like now?

"Royal brother still has time to be a flower protector, why don't you worry about your own situation? Or has royal brother already made a choice and chosen to give up resistance?" Ji Chenan's face was full of pride, as if everything was under control.

"The Cheng family military camp has long been under my control. My royal brother must know this, right? Ever since Cheng Li was imprisoned, the Cheng family military camp has been in frequent movements. For Cheng Li's sake, they are willing to help me take the throne." Ji Chenan opened his arms, as if the throne was already within his grasp.

Cheng Mingran was the one who reacted the most after hearing this. She looked at Ji Chenan and said, "How dare you! The Cheng family is devoted to you. You are so bold. You are just talking nonsense. What crime should you be punished for?"

Matters concerning the Cheng family's military camp were originally a taboo area, and now his words were clearly intended to push the Cheng family into a dead end, he deserves to be killed!

"Oh, why are you so excited, Madam Shufei? I can promise you. After all, the Cheng family is helping me. How about I release your father after I ascend the throne?"

"Oh, if you are willing, I can also make you the queen. From now on, the Cheng family will obey my orders and enjoy wealth and glory. Isn't it wonderful?" Ji Chenan smiled evilly, and his gaze became more and more aggressive.

Cheng Mingran felt sick when being looked at in this way: "The Cheng family will never associate with traitors! The Cheng family army will never aid and abet the evil!" She looked at Ji Lingzhou: "Your Majesty..." She was still afraid that Ji Lingzhou would misunderstand.

"It's okay, don't worry." Ji Lingzhou naturally knew that the Cheng family was Cheng Mingran's bottom line, so it was normal for her to worry.

Cheng Mingran felt uneasy. She was really worried that those people in the military camp would be instigated by villains and do irrational things because of her father's arrest.

If it was true, the consequences would be disastrous. Even if it was not intentional, it was still a serious crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of the clan.

Ji Lingzhou's gaze fell on Ji Chenan, and naturally, everything he had just said fell into Ji Lingzhou's ears word for word.

Ji Chenan was really brave, he even dared to set his sights on Cheng Mingran. He didn't think so before, but just now, when he heard others thinking about Cheng Mingran, he couldn't help but get angry.

"Ji Chenan, are you really going to rebel?" Ji Lingzhou's eyes became more and more dangerous.

Ji Chenan thought that he was just struggling before his death: "This king is not rebelling, he can only restore order..."

After saying that, he shouted, "Catch him!"

But after he said this, before anyone on his side could react, a large group of men in black came running out from the surrounding area.

These... should be Ji Lingzhou's guards.

Ji Chenan glanced at them casually, and said with contempt: "You don't think you can turn the situation around with just these people, do you? I might as well tell you that this palace has been surrounded by my people inside and out, why are you struggling?"

Have you really taken every possible precaution?

"Come here," Ji Chenan shouted, "Please tell our emperor about the situation outside the palace. Oh, it should be the emperor who is about to step down."

boom!

As soon as Ji Chenan finished speaking, someone stumbled in from outside. Ji Chenan's expression changed. He looked at the person and saw that he was covered in blood. He was thrown directly in...

He looked at the door, where stood a man in black, Ji Lingzhou's bodyguard. Ji Chenan had a bad feeling in his heart.
