Yan Han's body stiffened. He opened his mouth but found he couldn't defend himself. In the end, he could only whisper, "Your Majesty! This is also for your own good!"

Shen Chou's face was filled with anger. "Don't call yourself my master. What did you teach me? How to betray my brothers? How to be two-faced? How to win people's hearts?"

"Or teach me martial arts!?"

"Yan Han! I admit it! You did help me a lot in prison back then, but even without you, I wouldn't have died in prison!"

"The road ahead was also forged by me, fighting with my own life. Over the years, I have repeatedly rescued you from certain death. Every time I was in dire straits, I would put on your armor or the armor of the Duke of Zhenguo to lead the pursuers away. Every time, I was only left with one breath, and I was still suspected and even betrayed by you."

"Ever since you all held high positions, you've been putting all those dirty and shameful things into my hands and onto my shoulders."

"Even if it's a great favor, it should end here."

"You've forgotten my warning from last time. Ha! It seems the Protector of the Country still thinks I owe you! What? Do you want me to pay you with my life, or do you want to be the emperor?"

Shen Chou's words completely tore apart the superficial harmony between the two, making it impossible for Yan Han to deceive himself anymore...

He quickly knelt on the ground, pressing his body tightly to the ground, staring at the shiny black floor tiles without a speck of dust. "Your Majesty! All the mistakes are my fault. Please don't vent your anger on innocent people."

"My granddaughter simply loves Your Majesty. She has no ill intentions, Your Majesty."

"Please! Let her go!"

Shen Chou sneered, "Duke Protector of the Country! I've said so much, and you haven't even reflected on it at all. You're still so self-righteous, thinking that I killed her because of you!?"

"Oh! Lord Protector of the Country, Lord Protector of the Country! You could have died with dignity, so why do you have to keep staring at my harem?"

"She's little!? She's innocent!?"

"How many maids and servants has she beaten and killed? How many times has she committed insubordination? You know this, but now she's actually brought people to find our queen, insulting and abusing her, and even wants to kill her!?"

"Ha! Who do you think you are? Even if all the people in the world were put together, they wouldn't be worth a hair of my queen!"

"My queen is only 16 now! She just gave birth to a child for me!"

"This bitch actually wants to kill her! Hahahaha! Ridiculous!"

Shen Chou became more and more angry as he spoke, his eyes full of bloodthirstiness and madness.

When Yan Han heard this familiar laughter that made his back shiver, he knew that today was probably over!

When he heard Jin Jing was arrested, his first thought was that it was because of him. He never imagined that his granddaughter would be so bold as to provoke the Queen!? And even want to kill her!?

He suddenly felt regretful for indulging Jin Jing and his daughter time and time again...

Jin Jing's tearful eyes were filled with fear. Didn't His Majesty respect her grandfather the most? How could this be? Furthermore, the woman living in the manor was actually the empress! How could this be possible? It had to be fake.

My mother clearly said that His Majesty likes her and she will definitely be the queen in the future. Why did she become like this?

However, her mouth was blocked tightly and she couldn't utter a word. She could only see her grandfather kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Your Majesty! This is truly the last time. I am retiring with my family and returning home. Please release her!"

"Just think of it as... just think of it as praying for the little princess and the little prince!"

Originally, Shen Chou had even thought about where to bury this family, and he could mention the two children.

The murderous intent in his heart was instantly reduced by half, and the knife he was holding tightly in his hand slowly loosened.

If there really was a hell of ghosts in this world, then someone like him, covered in blood, would surely be devoured by evil spirits. However, his An'an and Ningning had just been born, and he didn't want them to suffer because of his fatherhood. And as for Ruyue, he wanted to have a next life, and be with her in the next life after that...

So, Shen Chou gripped the sword tightly in his hand again, took two or three steps to the terrified Jin Jing, and stabbed her thigh fiercely. The severe pain made her face pale, but this was not the end. Shen Chou drew out the sword and raised his hand to chop off her right arm.

Even though Jin Jing's mouth was stuffed with mud and cloth, Yan Han could still hear the painful cries of his precious granddaughter.

But this also means that both his life and that of his granddaughter were saved!

Sure enough, Shen Chou threw the broken arm in front of him and said lightly: "Get lost!"

Yan Han kowtowed in thanks, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace! I will retire and return to my hometown, and I will never appear before you again."

Shen Chou sneered, "Old thing! Remember, if it weren't for the Queen and those two children, I would definitely kill you all."

"However, I understand that you are old and will not live for many more years. You should just stay in Kyoto and enjoy your life. But please keep your family in check. I'm afraid you won't be so lucky next time."

Yan Han breathed a sigh of relief. He had worked so hard all his life to get back to this position. He had never thought about retiring. He had just said that just because he was betting that the emperor would not kill him all because of those two children. Unexpectedly, his bet was right!

It seems that I can never offend anyone else but the queen and the child!

He took advantage of Shen Chou's lack of regret and quickly left with his granddaughter, who had fainted from the pain!

Shen Chou looked at the obviously hunched back of the Duke of Protector of the Country, wiped the blood off the sword, turned back into the house, took a good bath, changed into extremely gorgeous clothes, put on a beautiful headdress, dressed himself up like a colorful peacock, and went to keep the appointment tonight.

As a result, just as he came here happily, he saw dozens of carriages parked in front of the manor, blocking the place tightly.

He thought to himself that this was not good, it seemed that what happened today had been leaked!

His face was gloomy and he hurried in.

He could even imagine how his little elf was surrounded and bullied by these vicious people!

God!

But it makes me sad just thinking about it.

But when he angrily entered the yard, he was suddenly stunned by the scene before him.

More than a dozen women tightly surrounded Yu Ruyue, their eyes filled with shock, "Oh my God!"

"How can there be such parents in this world? After finally finding their biological daughter, their hearts and eyes are filled with that fake daughter."

"What happened next? Did this family realize that the real daughter was actually the masked king of a different surname?!"

"My biological daughter is right in front of me! How can I not recognize her by her voice and figure?"

"Hmph! If it were you, I shouldn't have recognized her. The real daughter is so powerful, why bother going back and getting humiliated?! You should just leave immediately and let them regret it."

"Yes! I will never forgive my parents, brother, and that damn fiancé!"

"Yes! Women should have their own careers."

Yu Ruyue was just about to continue speaking when she saw Shen Chou rushing to the door. Her eyes lit up. Shen Chou was dressed very handsomely today, especially the hair accessories on his head, which made him look several years younger!

She looked at the other person's somewhat resentful eyes and quickly stood up, "Your Majesty! You're here!?"
