The princess returns strongly, and the divorced regent is busy chasing his wife

Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, there was a slight noise outside the door, as if someone was quietly approaching. This subtle sound broke the originally tense atmosphere, and everyone's eyes were cast towards the door at the same time.

"Your Majesty, the Empress requests an audience..." A low and respectful voice came from outside the door. It was the eunuch beside the Emperor.

Fan Yao quickly looked at the emperor, only to see that the emperor had a cold expression on his face and showed no fear at all, as if he didn't care about what was about to happen.

Fan Yao signaled to the emperor with her eyes, asking him to allow the queen to come in.

The emperor glanced at him, but finally obeyed his opinion and said, "Let the queen in." After receiving the order, the eunuch outside the door immediately opened the door and let the queen in.

The queen, accompanied by two personal maids, walked hurriedly into the imperial study.

The moment she stepped into the room, she was shocked by the scene before her.

Ouyang Yi, who had come back from the dead, stood aside and confronted him. His always respected father Fan Yao actually held a sword and held the emperor hostage!

The queen's eyes widened with astonishment on her face. She couldn't believe what she saw, as if time had stopped at this moment. She stood there blankly, not knowing how to deal with this sudden change.

"Daughter, come here and stand with me. I don't want this to happen, but there is no other way. Today, either this dog emperor dies or I die. I really don't want to implicate you, but there is no other way. You can only stand on the same line with me now, so that we father and daughter have a chance to survive."

The queen came back to her senses after hearing Fan Yao's voice. She quickly stepped forward to persuade him, "Dad, put down the sword in your hand and release His Majesty. If there is anything, we will slowly talk to His Majesty. His Majesty will definitely forgive you... Don't go further and further down this road of no return."

She tried to persuade her father to lay down his weapons and seek the emperor's forgiveness.

Fan Yao had been forced into a desperate situation at this point. She would never give up the situation where she was already in the dominant position just for a few words from her daughter.

"Daughter, what are you talking about? Come here, let's stand together, father and daughter. Listen, as long as we kill this dog emperor now and put the blame on Ouyang Yi, we can do it without anyone knowing. No one will suspect us. Ouyang Yi is a fugitive, so it is only natural to put the blame on him." Fan Yao still did his own thing. He was trying to persuade the queen to stand on the same front with her.

The queen knew clearly that she could not get involved with someone like Fan Yao, so she decided to approach Fan Yao to see if there was a chance to save the emperor.

She walked with firm steps towards the direction where the emperor and Fan Yao were. When she passed by Ouyang Yi, she secretly cast a look at him, indicating that she could take action according to the situation.

Ouyang Yi responded and indicated that he understood.

The queen slowly approached the two of them, and when she was about to pass by, Fan Yao suddenly spoke up to stop her actions.

"Wait, stand there and don't move..."

The queen's breathing stagnated, and she stopped walking nervously. She only heard Fan Yao say, "Take out the emperor's jade seal. I want him to write the edict of succession in front of me."

The queen was stunned and frightened. She had never thought that her father was so ambitious that he wanted to force the emperor to write a letter of abdication. If this failed, the queen would not be able to save her even if she wanted to.

"No! Impossible!" the queen screamed, her voice sharp and piercing, echoing throughout the palace.

She widened her eyes and looked at Fan Yao and the emperor in horror, her heart filled with despair and fear.

Fan Yao glanced at the queen coldly, with a hint of contempt in her eyes.

He smiled lightly, with a mocking tone in his voice: "Your Majesty, this is not up to you to decide. Now, do as I ask you immediately, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

The queen's lips trembled, tears welled up in her eyes. She knew she couldn't stop what was happening, but she couldn't let her father commit such a heinous crime.

She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and then said, "Father, please think twice! Such behavior will bring disaster to our entire family!"

Fan Yao sneered and remained unmoved. He said coldly: "Daughter, you are still too naive. The temptation of power is too great, no one can resist it. Today, I must obtain this decree of succession, no matter what the price, I will die if I fail."

The queen's heart sank to the bottom. She felt helpless and desperate. She knew that no matter what she said, she could not change her father's determination. She could only pray silently, hoping that this nightmare would end as soon as possible.

However, Fan Yao was not moved by the queen's words. He stared at the emperor firmly, tightened the sword in his hand, and threatened: "Your Majesty, you'd better make a decision quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

The emperor looked calm, he had already prepared for the worst. He clenched his teeth tightly, trying to suppress the anger in his heart.

He knew very well that once he wrote the edict of succession, it would mean that he would lose the throne and even his life. But if he did not agree, he also knew that Fan Yao would not let him go.

Faced with this difficult decision, the emperor fell into deep thought. As time passed, the atmosphere became more and more tense. The queen watched all this anxiously, feeling extremely worried.

Suddenly, the queen rushed forward like a madman, and used her own body weight to knock Fan Yao away.

Fan Yao was completely enraged by the Queen's actions, and the anger in her heart made her lose her mind.

She held the sword tightly in her hand, her eyes flashing with ferocity, and stabbed the queen without hesitation. As a weak woman, the queen could not avoid Fan Yao's fierce attack at all, and could only watch the sword pierce into her chest.

Ouyang Yi was extremely anxious when he saw this scene. He reacted quickly and rushed forward to protect the emperor behind him to ensure his safety.

The emperor was finally out of danger, but he was still in shock. He hurriedly shouted, "Help! Help!" As he shouted, the guards on duty outside responded quickly, rushing in from all directions, tightly surrounding the emperor and forming a solid line of defense to protect the emperor's safety from all directions.

Meanwhile, the Queen was in extreme shock and despair.

She stared at her biological father Fan Yao with eyes wide open in disbelief, only to see him holding a long sword and stabbing her mercilessly. She felt endless pain and despair, her eyes filled with sadness and disappointment.

Two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks.

Fan Yao dragged the queen to the other side with force and then pulled out the sword.

The emperor ordered: "Capture Fan Yao alive."

At the emperor's command, the guards around him rushed forward with weapons in hand, only to see Fan Yao do something that shocked everyone.

He raised the sword in his hand, pointed it at his carotid artery, and cut his neck directly.

He opened his eyes wide, looked at his daughter lying on the ground covered in blood, and murmured: "Father can only help you so far. This is the last time father will help you."

The queen watched her father commit suicide with a sword in front of her. She was so angry that she couldn't breathe and fainted.
