The passers-by are vicious

Although the ministers and female relatives could not see the emperor's expression clearly, they could roughly feel the fluctuations in it.

Yu Shuxin is still worried that the male protagonist's feelings for the queen are really just guilt. He is too tolerant.

She even began to suspect that the book she was reading was a fake or that she had traveled through time to a fan fiction about the male protagonist and the queen.

Prince Qing Yuan Benchu ​​raised his eyelids with slight surprise. His brother Yuan Xun, who was always cold-hearted as a superior, actually had tears in his eyes because of the Queen's betrayal.

And he also acted stupid, which he found the most ridiculous thing ever.

He was already attracted by Jiang Wanwan's face, and now he was even more curious.

Compared to others who were shocked by Yuan Xun's red eyes, Jiang Wanwan was dismissive.

"Yuan Xun, don't act like I've let you down. It makes me feel sick."

The other ministers and their wives were all shocked that Jiang Wanwan actually called the emperor by his name.

But then the soldiers and swords around Jiang Beichuan fell silent.

That’s right, Jiang Wanwan is not even afraid of rebellion.

Even though he was blocked by rebels in the palace and was weak from poisoning, Yuan Xun still sat on the throne without changing his expression.

He looked with dim eyes at the red figure standing in front of him, which was obviously very close to him, yet seemed very far away.

"You are the queen, you can tell me anything you want, why are you doing this..."

Yuan Xun doesn't understand Jiang Wanwan.

Maybe it was because he had never thought about getting to know her before.

But Yuan Xun's question was like a joke to Jiang Wan.

She sneered, stretched out her hand and lifted up Yuan Xun's handsome face, and said with a flash of sarcasm in her eyes: "I promise you three thousand beauties in your harem, all in all colors."

Having said that, Jiang Wanwan used a little force with her fingers, pinching Yuan Xun's chin until it turned red, and her expression became even more fierce as she waved her sleeves.

"But I absolutely will not allow the children of other concubines to become the future emperor of Northern Zhou."

Although the voice was gentle, the ambition contained in it was unstoppable and it echoed throughout the entire hall.

Yuan Xun's obsidian eyes looked dimly at the queen in front of him, whose face was as beautiful and graceful as a peony.

He had never imagined that she could have such strong ambition and determination.

But Yuan Xun doesn't hate it, because he can afford all of these.

"We're going to have kids."

At this time he still wanted to try to persuade Jiang Wanwan.

He even explained for Jiang Wanwan in his heart that she wanted to rebel only because she felt insecure and panicked after Concubine Yu gave birth to the second prince, and was bewitched by someone.

She would feel at ease when they had a child.

However, Jiang Wanwan sneered. She loosened her fingers and wiped the hem of her skirt at the side of her body, as if she had just touched something dirty.

"But you won't have it."

Yuan Xun didn't wait to be disappointed by her action, and suddenly remembered the bowl of old duck soup.

Seeing that he seemed to have recalled something, Jiang Wanwan covered her mouth and giggled: "It's just as you thought. I put a sterilizing drug in the soup. You won't be able to have children."

It was such a gentle voice, but the words it spoke were enough to pierce Yuan Xun's heart.

Even when he heard that he had been given a drug that would make him sterile, Yuan Xun was angry and confused.

Because he was born cold and indifferent, he never thought about having offspring.

If Jiang Wanwan didn't want it, Yuan Xun wouldn't have had... the idea.

And why did Jiang Wanwan treat him like this?

Even though Yuan Xun was confused or sad, he asked hoarsely: "You don't want to have a child for me."

Jiang Wanwan clearly wanted her child to be the emperor, but she drugged him instead.

Yuan Xun looked at her steadily, indicating that he was unwilling to have a child with him.

Who do you want to have a baby with?

Jiang Wanwan did not answer, but looked down at Yuan Xun, feeling that this feeling was so good.

She didn't need to be gentle and considerate in front of him, nor did she need to endure the boredom in her heart and be a virtuous queen.

Jiang Wanwan turned around and walked down the steps to the throne, dragging the hem of her red dress with golden phoenix, and waved her hand to have Concubine Yu and the Second Prince in her arms brought over.

Concubine Yu hugged the Second Prince tightly, but was still snatched away by Ke Xin.

She was pressed to the ground, but her eyes were always on the second prince who was taken away. She asked in a trembling voice: "Queen, what do you want to do? This is the only child of His Majesty."

Jiang Wanwan stretched out her fingers and hooked them on the longevity lock hanging around the second prince's neck, as if she could see the blood that had once splashed on the center of the lock.

It was as if I was back to that day again.

Jiang Wanwan let go of her fingers in a rare moment of distraction.

Jiang Beichuan naturally noticed his sister's actions. The man who had led the troops into the hall and had not spoken a word suddenly had red eyes and stared at the gold and jade longevity lock ring.

Jiang Wanwan said to Concubine Yu who was worried about her son: "This longevity lock was made by your majesty when he was still the fourth prince. Its previous owner died in vain."

"What do you mean?"

Upon hearing that her son was carrying something belonging to a dead person, Concubine Yu started to panic and wanted to step forward and pull the longevity lock off the Second Prince's neck.

Unfortunately, he was held down by the eunuchs and could not be dragged away. He could only stare at the longevity lock hanging on the second prince's neck.

Jiang Wanwan smiled coquettishly and did not answer. Instead, she waved her hand and asked someone to bring the second prince to Yuan Xun.

"Your Majesty will never have an heir, so whose child is this?"

Yuan Xun didn't even look at the Second Prince, and Jiang Wanwan thought he was just pretending not to care.

He laughed directly and said: "Empress Yu actually had an affair with someone and gave birth to this bastard."

The palace maid Ke Xin immediately understood and reached out to tightly hold the swaddled Second Prince.

"Don't... Queen, you are such a vicious woman. You even didn't let the child go."

Concubine Yu shook her head and struggled like a madman, but was held down tightly by the eunuch.

The only "son" in his life had his face covered right in front of him and was about to be suffocated to death.

But Yuan Xun's handsome face did not fluctuate at all, and his eyes were full of coldness.

It was as if the second prince was not his child at all.

Jiang Wanwan felt bored and waved her hand, and Ke Xin stopped immediately.

The second prince, who was almost suffocated, took a breath again and immediately started crying with his face red.

Unfortunately, no one cared except Concubine Yu.

Ke Xin casually handed the second prince to a palace maid and returned to Jiang Wanwan.

Faced with swords, the ministers were powerless even if they wanted to be loyal to their majesty.

At this time, a eunuch holding a glass of wine walked up to Concubine Yu and stopped.

Immediately afterwards, a strong eunuch pried open Concubine Yu's chin, picked up the wine glass and was about to pour the wine into her mouth.

Concubine Yu roughly guessed what was in the wine glass, and immediately struggled hard, "I am the Concubine Yu appointed by His Majesty, the biological mother of the Second Prince, what qualifications do you have to treat me like this."

Jiang Wanwan turned a deaf ear to Concubine Yu's cries.

The eunuch twisted Concubine Yu's face even harder, and she could only watch the wine glass getting closer and closer to her.

Yu Shuxin, who had been hiding her true feelings and wanted to wait for the hero to quell the rebellion before coming out to claim the credit, was frightened by the scene in front of her. She couldn't help swallowing and asked in a trembling voice: "What is the queen going to do to Concubine Yu?"

Jiang Wanwan accurately glanced at Yu Shuxin who was hiding among the female relatives. Without her even waving her hand, a eunuch immediately pulled Yu Shuxin out from the female relatives and pressed her in front of Jiang Wanwan.

Jiang Wanwan curled her lips and smiled, her tone casual.

"I just sentenced her to death."

He said it nonchalantly, raising an eyebrow.

Her already beautiful face was even more dazzling when she smiled, but in the eyes of many female relatives, she looked a little scary.

Those young ladies hid in their mothers' arms and dared not look.

He was afraid that if he accidentally met Jiang Wanwan's gaze, Jiang Wanwan would have him dragged out and poisoned to death.

Jiang Wanwan waved her hand to ask the eunuch to stop pouring water on Concubine Yu.

He said to Yu Shuxin who was pressed to the ground in front of him: "If you are willing to drink this cup of poisoned wine for your sister, I will let her go."

Concubine Yu immediately looked at Yu Shuxin with anticipation, hoping that this legitimate sister could die for her.

Yu Shuxin, who was being pinned down, lowered her head with an evasive look in her eyes. How could she possibly do such a stupid thing as dying for someone else?

The reason why she helped Concubine Yu's sister was because she was the heroine, and she wanted to cling to her sister so that she could live more comfortably in ancient times.

At this moment, she naturally shrank her neck and kept silent. The heroine had the aura of the protagonist, but she did not.

Concubine Yu, who originally had hope in her eyes, looked at Yu Shuxin with disappointment. She felt that her younger sister was too selfish and cowardly.

If she were alive, she would be the empress dowager, and the Yu family would be the grandfather's family of the future emperor.

Since Yu Shuxin could die for her, there was nothing to hesitate about.

Even Yu's father's expression was slightly moved, but thinking that the success or failure of this coup was still uncertain, he said nothing.

She couldn't ask her legitimate daughter to exchange the life of her illegitimate daughter, even though the eldest illegitimate daughter was Concubine Yu, the biological mother of the second prince.

If he really told that, how would he gain a foothold in the capital? He would even abandon his own daughter for fame and fortune. Who would dare to marry their daughter to his Yu family?

"I thought what kind of woman would dare to question me in the hall. She wouldn't be like this."

Seeing Yu Shuxin pretending to be mute, Jiang Wanwan was disappointed and asked someone to let her go.

Yu Shuxin hurried back to the female relatives and was held in the arms of her mother. She was extremely scared just now, afraid that her daughter would really be stupid enough to die for the concubine's daughter, Yu Wenxuan.

What does the future of the Yu family have to do with her?

She only has this one daughter, and as long as she is alive, it is more important than anything else.

Shen Qingci stood among the ministers the entire time, watching Jiang Wanwan viciously trying to kill the second prince. His expression did not change at all as he watched her actions. Instead, he found it interesting with a smile on his face.

Yuan Benchu, who seemed drunk, was now completely sober.

He looked at Jiang Wanwan with a crazy look in her eyes, with the corners of her eyes slightly raised, and felt that she was a perfect match for him.

Yuan Xun's thin lips turned pale as he watched all of Jiang Wanwan's actions, his stern face showing no anger at all.

Apart from the tears in her eyes when she first spoke to Jiang Wanwan, she showed no other emotion.

There was tolerance in his eyes as he looked at Jiang Wanwan.

It was as if everything she did was just a joke.

Yuan Xun continued in a gentle voice: "Wanwan, you won't succeed. Ask Brother Jiang to stop, and I will forgive you for what happened."

But Jiang Wanwan just hated Yuan Xun's control over everything and his cold and indifferent look.

That day too, she didn't care at all, didn't care about the pain she and her brother and sister-in-law were suffering.

Jiang Wanwan sneered, "Do you think I will believe it?"

She was not the kind of woman who would become stupid for love, not to mention that she had no love for Yuan Xun, only hatred.

Jiang Wanwan just felt it was ironic. Who was Yuan Xun showing off his hypocritical expression to?

Did he think he was one of the women in the harem who were truly impressed and admired by his looks and temperament?

Too underestimated her.

Yuan Xun waved his hand with a gloomy expression, and dozens of secret guards in black clothes with eagle patterns fell from the sky immediately.

They surrounded the throne, staring at Jiang Wanwan and Jiang Beichuan with dangerous vigilance, as if they were waiting for Yuan Xun's order to rush over and capture the two.

However, Yuan Xun did not take any other action when he summoned them, as if it was just for intimidation.

Just then, there were the sounds of footsteps and shaking armor outside the palace. The royal guards in silver armor had surrounded the palace and the people brought by Jiang Beichuan.

Although they haven't fought yet, it seems that the defeat is already decided.

Jiang Wanwan couldn't believe that her rebellion was so ridiculous. Yuan Xun just waved his hand without moving, as if it was about to end.

But she was unwilling to do so.

Jiang Wanwan lost control of her emotions and pulled out the weapon from the general's waist. She pointed the sword at Yuan Xun's nose and cursed: "Yuan Xun, you owe us the Jiang family all this. You will never be able to repay it in this lifetime."

Yuan Xun looked at her, his usually cold black eyes now looked tender, and he reached out his hand to her tenderly, "Wan Wan, stop making trouble."

But in Jiang Wanwan's eyes, he looked like he was just pretending to confuse her.

Jiang Wanwan tightly gripped the hilt of the sword in her hand. She would never surrender.

If we lose today, the Jiang family will be finished.

She didn't believe that Yuan Xun would let her, her brother and the Jiang family go.

Jiang Beichuan seemed to know it all clearly, so he still drew the sword from his waist.

It doesn’t matter whether he dies or not, but he doesn’t want his sister Jiang Wanwan to die.

Because in the Jiang family, he and his sister are the only relatives left to each other.

Jiang Wanwan shouted impatiently to the green-robed figure who was still standing among the ministers, "Yuan Benchu, what are you still pretending to be? Do you think you still want to stay out of this situation? Are you regretting it?"

Yuan Benchu, who was named, walked out while other ministers were dodging.

He shrugged his shoulders helplessly with a look on his handsome face, while the corners of his eyes and mouth did not forget to raise.

"This is a mistake. I'm afraid my life is in danger today."

Yuan Benchu ​​did want to usurp the throne, but he was just trying it out.

In fact, he had originally planned to wait for his brother Yuan Xun to die of exhaustion in the imperial study and then succeed to the throne legitimately.

But who would have thought that Yuan Xun suddenly had a child.

It just so happened that Queen Jiang Wanwan had this idea, so Yuan Benchu ​​just filled in the gap.

He smiled, pulled out the dagger from the flute, and in a flash he slashed the neck of the secret guard closest to him.

The secret guard stood there, with blood on his neck, and fell down without any movement.

The other secret guards immediately and vigilantly protected Yuan Xun.

Yuan Xun shook off the blood on the sword with cold eyes, his movements free and easy, and the blood splashed onto the minister closest to him.

The frightened female relatives huddled together and screamed, as if they had not expected that the kind-hearted Yuan Benchu ​​would be so cruel.

The minister touched the red blood on his face and fell backwards limply. He was caught by other ministers, and they all leaned together nervously.

"Am I awesome~?"

Yuan Benchu ​​said some nonsense to Jiang Wanwan and rushed towards the other secret guards swiftly.

Dozens of dark green masked guards with snake patterns flew out from the darkness and engaged in a fight with Yuan Xun's black guards with eagle patterns on their clothes.
