Swap, the involutionary regent palace fight also forced me to rebel

Seeing that he knew almost nothing about the "Regent's plot to usurp the throne", Jin An was in a state of confusion, and the sarcasm on his face slowly faded away.

Not understanding why he remained silent, Yun Ting didn't get an answer, and became more and more panicked: "Jin An, why don't you speak?"

"A-Ting," Jin An said in a low voice, like a hammer hitting a drum, with a trace of pity in his eyes, "It was a palace coup."

When Yun Ting heard the word "palace coup", he was struck by lightning.

After a moment of shock, he murmured in disbelief, "What did you say?"

Outside the main tent.

“Your Highness,” facing the bleak autumn wind, Song Cheng and his party members clasped their fists towards Nan Yingzhi, “Those who intended to resist have all been subdued!”

Nan Yingzhi glanced at the Yunting party members who were kneeling and trembling, as well as the guards beside them, and said calmly: "Well done."

Unlike the ministers who cowered like quails and had their own ulterior motives, Shen Xi, although kneeling, stood very straight: "Your Highness, this is against human ethics!"

Knowing that Shen Xi was a talent that could be used, Nan Yingzhi endured his gaze like a sharp blade, stabbing at her.

Looking at him, Nan Yingzhi did not scold him directly, but argued with him in a good temper: "How is my action 'contrary to human ethics'?"

"As the regent, you should have been assisting the emperor," Shen Xi said confidently, "but you are now plotting to usurp the throne. You are being disrespectful to the late emperor who appointed you as the regent!"

"If the country changes and I sit back and do nothing, I will indeed be guilty," Nan Yingzhi changed the subject, "but first of all, as the son of the previous emperor, I have the right to inherit the throne.

"Secondly, the capable ones get the throne. I just saw that Yun Ting was having a hard time sitting on the throne, so I just shared his worries. What's wrong with that?"

"But the late emperor left an edict, passing the throne to the crown prince, not the eldest prince." Shen Xi was so angry that he didn't want to address her as "you". His voice was as loud as a bell. "If it weren't for His Majesty's abdication, you would have been a traitor for sure!"

Song Cheng originally stood beside Nan Yingzhi, heard the word "abdication", and spoke at the right time.

"Sir Shen," he said with emotion, holding up the memorial he had prepared, "You are truly a man of foresight!"

Unexpectedly, they had prepared the edict of abdication, and only the imperial seal was left to stamp it. Shen Xi's ears were buzzing, and he realized that the game was over.

"He is your own brother!"

Faced with the white-haired old man who was at his wit's end, and in response to the family card he played, Nan Yingzhi lowered her eyes and spoke calmly.

"What's a brother?" She stated the facts frankly, "I am his biological brother, but he still enslaved me for more than ten years?"

Knowing that the late emperor's decision to establish the youngest instead of the eldest was not in compliance with the law, Shen Xi gritted his teeth and said stubbornly: "The late emperor will make the decision."

"The late emperor was unfair, but I must seek justice," Nan Yingzhi said impatiently, thinking of Yun Ji who was waiting for her in the clearing in the forest. "Why not?"

Knowing that the Regent was more suitable for the throne than Yun Ting, Shen Xi blushed and could not say anything else for a long time.

Just after taking a few steps forward, Nan Yingzhi saw Shen Xi suddenly sway in front of her, and she couldn't help but frowned: "I don't want to hurt innocent people, but if you want to die, I don't mind fulfilling your wish."

Seeing that the situation was hopeless and having dealt with the Queen Regent before, Shen Xi knew that she was a person with the talent to govern the country. Some hesitation appeared on his face.

Is Yun Ting, who refuses to listen to advice and has no interest in studying, really worthy of his wholehearted support?

Perhaps, abandon the dark and turn to the light...

Out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the precious Concubine Lian from the harem, who appeared out of nowhere but was running towards him silently. Shen Xi was horrified.

"It's dangerous here," he tried to protect this "weak woman" from the regent's butcher knife. He hugged Nan Yingzhi's arm and shouted at Yun Ji, "Your Majesty, please leave!"

Originally, Yun Ji was alone in the forest, following Nan Yingzhi's instructions of "You stay here, I'll be back soon".

Unwilling to be lonely, he keenly heard the news from Lingfeng that Xiao Zhizi was going to conquer others, so he couldn't wait to rush out.

Seeing Shen Xi using himself as a shield to protect him, Yun Ji stopped walking towards Nan Yingzhi, looking embarrassed.

How could he tell Shen Xi that Xiao Zhizi would not hurt him?

"What are you doing here?" Nan Yingzhi broke free from Shen Xi's soft shackles and rarely got angry. "Didn't I tell you to stay there and not follow me?"

Knowing that Xiao Zhizi kept him in the forest because she didn't want him to be accused of "having an affair with the Regent", Yun Ji's lips moved and he was slightly speechless.

He originally thought that everyone was looking down and wouldn't notice him, so he approached Xiao Zhizi cautiously.

Who would have thought that Shen Xi would stand up at the critical moment!

Listening to their conversation, Shen Xi finally realized that Concubine Lian and the Regent not only knew each other, but were probably very familiar with each other.

Shocked, he hesitated and looked between the two of them: "You..."

Seeing that his affair with Xiao Zhizi was in danger of being exposed, Yun Ji looked at the surrounding situation and saw that the Yun Ting party was unable to resist, so he put away his surprise and faced them calmly.

"In ancient times, the phoenix chose the branch to roost on, and now you have to choose a wise master." Accustomed to seeing the scene of people kneeling down, he walked towards Nan Yingzhi and subconsciously put his hands behind his back, "He who knows the current situation is a hero.

"Sir Shen, you are a smart man. I don't need to say much about which of the two is more worthy of following."

Shen Xi was shocked to find that Song Cheng, who was on the neutral side, was actually the Regent's man. When he heard Lian Zhaoyi speaking for the Regent, his expression became more complicated.

Signaling Ling Feng beside him, Yun Ji put the knife on his neck, and said with a dark look in his eyes: "Master, have you thought it through?"

Shen Xi felt the sharp blade at his throat, emitting waves of chill, and broke out in a cold sweat.

Why is Lian Zhaoyi's behavior of "destroying if she can't get it" so similar to that of the previous regent who was famous for his bloodthirstiness?

Also, isn’t Ling Feng, who threatened his life, the Regent’s right-hand man?

Why would he obey Lian Zhaoyi's orders?

Although his thoughts were in a mess, Shen Xi had a clear idea.

When facing foreign enemies, the monarch must not be weak, and even less should he be nepotistic.

The only one who has the ability to lead Dali out of the predicament is... the new emperor!

Hearing the noise outside getting closer, Yun Ting thought that instead of being forced to abdicate, it would be better to take the initiative to go out, so he took steps as heavy as lead and slowly walked out of the tent.

As luck would have it, he just happened to see the scene where "Zhaoyi Lian stretched out her hand to the Regent, and the Regent pulled up his cloak and covered him with it."

Glancing at Jin An, who was standing beside him with his arms folded, motionless, Yun Ting pointed with his finger, his whole body trembling.

"You, one or two, have all betrayed me!"
