Prime Minister Bai: "All the ideas and strategies were mine! I was the one who proposed the allocation of funds for disaster relief!"

Li Ze: "The strategy is the result of discussions among the ministers this morning. The disaster relief funds are from my treasury. You are enjoying a leisurely life in the mansion with your mouth wide open, without contributing money or effort, and you still want to ask for credit?"

Li Ze could never have imagined that it was his vanity that triggered Prime Minister Bai's rebellion.

Prime Minister Bai couldn't listen anymore and shook his head, "You don't understand. What do you understand? The people of the world should support me!"

He suddenly tore open his official uniform and after taking it off, he was actually wearing a bright yellow dragon robe.

Then he took out a dagger from his sleeve and gently put it on Li Ze's neck. "Your Majesty, don't move."

Li Ze's mood had been like being struck by lightning. The cold feeling on his neck made him sober up a little. "Are you crazy?"

Prime Minister Bai: "I'm not crazy!"

As he spoke, Prime Minister Bai shouted to the outside of the door, "Someone come!"

Huh? You're not crazy?

Li Ze originally thought that Prime Minister Bai was calling for help to walk into a trap, but he didn't expect a group of soldiers to rush in from outside the door. Li Ze didn't recognize any of them, and one of them even put a knife to Mr. He's neck.

Enter the door, surround it, and close the door, all in one go.

Mr. He looked at Li Ze worriedly.

Li Ze: "What do you want to do?"

Prime Minister Bai: "Nothing, Your Majesty. I sympathize with your hard work over the years, and I think it's time to help Your Majesty solve his problems."

A guard placed a blank imperial edict on the table in front of Li Ze.

Prime Minister Bai: "Your Majesty, please abdicate and make way for someone more virtuous. Make the baby in Concubine Lin's belly the crown prince, and he will ascend the throne after he is born."

Li Ze closed his eyes tightly. This world was crazy, and Prime Minister Bai was also crazy. What was he thinking of making an unborn child the crown prince? He might as well just usurp the throne.

Prime Minister Bai increased the force on his hands, and a blood mark appeared on Li Ze's neck.

He Lao: "Your Majesty!"

Li Ze opened his eyes in pain.

Prime Minister Bai: "Your Majesty, don't try to delay time and wait for rescue. I have already detained all the concubines, maids and guards in the palace. Even your favorite members of the Mo family have been confined by you. No one can save you."

At this time, the Empress Dowager's palace, Concubine Ping's palace, and the cold palace were surrounded by three layers of people inside and outside.

The Queen Mother was the first to discover the anomaly and thought that someone was forcing the palace to abdicate. All the people sent out to investigate never returned, and from time to time, sounds of fighting and cries for help were heard outside the palace gates.

Queen Mother: "The world is about to change..."

The maids beside her also looked up, but the sky was clear, "Your Majesty, everything will be fine."

The Queen Mother: “I hope so.”

The Queen Mother gathered her shawl and went back to her bedroom to rest. She believed in her son, but if he couldn't keep the country, she would do it.

Helplessly, Li Ze could only pick up the pen and dip it in ink. Just as he was about to write, he paused and turned to look at Prime Minister Bai, "Aren't you afraid of the curse?"

The Li family has ruled the Tianle Dynasty for many years, and some people are afraid of the Li family's curse and dare not seize the throne.

After all, the emperors of the Li family did die at around the age of 30.

Since ancient times, only the Bai family has not been afraid of death.

"Heh." Prime Minister Bai sneered, "I am not a member of the Li family. The country is not changing hands. How can I know whether the curse is aimed at the Li family or the Tianle Dynasty?"

"Besides, it was your Li family's ancestor who offended the gods!"

Li Ze felt annoyed when he heard this. He was supposed to die soon because of the curse, and he promised to accompany Meng'er to enjoy his "old age", but after this kind of thing happened, he didn't know if Meng'er was still willing to believe him.

Li Ze: "The one in Concubine Lin's belly is also a descendant of the Li family."

"Hahahahahaha!" Prime Minister Bai laughed almost crazily, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have been celibate for so many years, you can't even tell whether the marriage has been consummated or not, right?"

Prime Minister Bai's sarcasm was obvious, "That child, he is just the offspring of my Bai family!"

He Lao was furious, "How dare you tarnish the royal bloodline!"

"Tsk." Prime Minister Bai rolled his eyes and increased the strength of his hands. "Hurry up and write! I can let you live for a while after you finish writing, otherwise I will kill you now! When the time comes, it will still be my Bai family's descendant who will ascend the throne. Although the process will be a little troublesome, this world! Is destined to be mine!"

Feeling extremely aggrieved as he was being held at knifepoint, Li Ze sat on a chair and wrote the imperial edict very slowly, writing each word and stroke carefully. It was a long article, which from Prime Minister Bai's perspective was just a bunch of nonsense.

Prime Minister Bai took a closer look at the imperial edict and said, "What on earth did you write?!"

Li Ze: "It has to follow the rules. Otherwise, the ministers won't recognize it if you write it down."

Prime Minister Bai was speechless and stood there waiting for a while.

After a while, he looked down again and found that Li Ze was still writing nonsense without any focus! Only then did Prime Minister Bai realize that Li Ze was playing a trick on him.

Prime Minister Bai glared, "Are you kidding me?!"

Li Ze: "I don't have any!"

Prime Minister Bai: "Since you are so disobedient, you should just die first!"

After saying that, Prime Minister Bai raised the dagger in his hand and stabbed Li Ze's neck fiercely!

Boss He was horrified and tried to rush to Li Ze, but was stopped by the guards. "Your Majesty!"

Before the dagger could stab down, the dagger in Prime Minister Bai's hand was kicked away. With the second kick, Prime Minister Bai also flew out from his original position, flying sideways and hitting the wall of the imperial study. The soldiers rushed to help him.

The man held the back of Li Ze's chair with his right hand. Li Ze calmly put down the brush in his hand and sat back with his arms folded.

Prime Minister Bai looked at the person in horror, "How did you get out?!"

Ningxu supported her face with her right hand, turned sideways, and looked at Prime Minister Bai with a half-smile, "I am a witch~"

Witch... These were clearly the rumors he spread to slander Mo Ningxu, how come they have come true now?

Prime Minister Bai looked at Li Ze, only to see that he was calm and composed. It turned out that he had never been afraid from the beginning. He was never afraid that he would die here today, or he had colluded with the witch long ago!

Prime Minister Bai was supported by the guards and stood firm. He announced loudly, "Your Majesty has been deceived by the witch and has abandoned the people! Today we will enforce justice on behalf of heaven! Kill!"

At the command, the soldiers swarmed towards Li Ze and Ning Xu.

Ningxu summoned the Yuluo Sword and controlled it to fight against the soldiers. The sword moved among the crowd, knocking down one after another.

Ningxu took notice of the sword in a soldier's hand, leaned forward to avoid the blade, and punched the man directly in the stomach. The man leaned back in pain, and Ningxu quickly snatched the sword from his hand and threw it to Li Ze.

Li Ze took the sword and still sat on the chair, pointing at the sword blankly, "You want me to do it?"

Ningxu: "Protect yourself. I'm going to fight."

After saying that, Ningxu continued to fight.

Ningxu didn't ask him to intervene, so Li Ze sat on the chair and watched her fight, holding the sword at ease.

Meng'er hasn't had a fight for a long time, so she can enjoy it this time.

Prime Minister Bai has lived in the capital for a long time and has never been to the battlefield. The people spread the Mo family's swordsmanship as if it were magical, but he disdained to believe it. Who doesn't know how to fight? There is strength in numbers. The Mo family won the battle because the Tianle Dynasty was powerful and had many soldiers.

But when he saw it today, he realized that Ning Xu's sword skills and body movements were something he had never seen before among his subordinates.

The chances of winning that were discussed before seem like a fantasy today.
