Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

He no longer had to be inferior to others, no longer had to come back every month to play chess to show his cowardice and uselessness, and no longer had to show weakness to the late emperor in order to survive.

From now on, he is the most honorable person in Tianqi.

The virtuous king lifted the hem of his robe and was about to sit on the dragon throne.

Before he could even put his butt down, a voice that sounded intimidating without being angry suddenly came from the back of the crowd.

"Take your dirty hands off me and get out of there."

The voice was majestic and familiar. Everyone was startled and looked in the direction of the voice. Sure enough, they saw that tall figure.

The wise king almost thought he was dazzled and lost his balance and fell off the dragon throne to the ground.

"Why are you still alive? This is impossible. I saw you burn to death with my own eyes! You must be a ghost, you are not human!"

The emperor walked into the moonlight with a gloomy face and said, "Then you can take a good look at me to see if I am a ghost or not."

In the moonlight, his shadow was revealed to everyone.

Song Zhi stepped forward with a smile, "Your Majesty, did you see clearly who said this token was fake?"

The emperor nodded, "Well, you did a good job this time."

Song Zhi said cunningly: "Your Majesty, just don't forget to reward according to merit."

The Emperor said, "Of course, but before that, I'd better get rid of the rebels first."

His gaze fell back on the virtuous king. "For so many years, I thought I had treated you well, yet you had long been plotting to kill me."

No one present dared to make a sound, especially those who had just expressed their stance and taken sides. At this moment, they wished they could poison themselves to silence.

Only the Wise King grasped the key message from their conversation, "You already knew everything I was planning, so you deliberately set a trap to lure me in!"

The emperor snorted coldly, "If it weren't for the purpose of catching all the traitors in one fell swoop, why would I have to play tricks with you for so long? You think you have everything these days, and you are very proud of it."

"no no!"

The wise king's face turned extremely pale, and he stood up from the ground trembling.

"Even if you didn't get burned to death, it doesn't matter. You took so much silver bead powder that your body has long been weakened to the point where no medicine can cure it. You will die anyway."

The emperor sneered, "Are you referring to the elixir of immortality? Do you really think I would eat something you give me without any precautions?"

"You didn't eat?! Then what about during this time..."

"Of course I'm pretending."

"What about those courtiers you killed?"

The emperor's eyes turned and he looked to the side, and saw all the loyal ministers who had been sentenced to death before walking out respectfully.

"You daring traitor! Our emperor is wise, powerful, and healthy for eternity. Why don't you surrender quickly?"

"Hahahahahaha, surrender yourself, what a great surrender."

The virtuous king laughed crazily and walked out of the hall with a sinister look in his eyes.

"Do you think you've won just because you're all alive? The entire palace is now filled with my people, and even outside the imperial city, I have 30,000 troops. You will all die here tonight, and the throne will be mine."

As he spoke, he raised his arms and shouted, "Generals, listen to my orders!"

"..."

The whole place was silent, no one moved.

The scene was so quiet that it was almost eerie.

The wise king's expression suddenly changed. Realizing that something was wrong, he shouted twice more, "Generals, listen to my orders!"

"Generals, obey the order!"

However, the result was the same as the first time, no one in the audience responded to him.

Song Zhi sympathetically said, "Wise King, you don't think we would do nothing knowing what you are going to do, do you?"

"What do you mean?" The confident look on his face cracked at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Only then did he realize that he was in a desperate situation.

"Why don't I give it a try?"

The emperor waved his sleeves solemnly, "All generals, listen to my orders."

"The general is here!"

All the guards stood at attention, their voices in unison were deafening, powerful, and majestic.

The expression on the wise king's face instantly became extremely dejected. He looked at the guards around him and found that none of them were familiar faces to him.

As soon as he stepped into the main hall, his men were quietly eliminated and replaced.

He seemed unable to accept the situation before him, and he collapsed because of the huge reversal.

He trembled as he pulled out a firework from his arms. "I haven't lost yet. I still have those 30,000 soldiers. I'll have them enter the city and flatten it immediately."

"Save it."

Song Zhi kindly reminded, "Your 30,000-strong army was already decimated by the cavalry sent by the Emperor."

"I do not believe."

"If you don't believe me, just try it."

The wise king wanted to light the fireworks in his hand, but he couldn't do it because of the trembling.

In the end, because he didn't hold it firmly, the firework rolled to the ground.

Looking at the firework lying alone on the ground, he knew that the game was over.

"I lost."

The virtuous king collapsed to the ground, "I lost."

He suddenly felt a little confused. "How could I lose after planning for more than ten years? Everything went according to plan."

He kept thinking about the reason, and suddenly said to the queen in a stern voice: "Is it you? Is it you who betrayed me and ruined my plan?"

The Queen's face was pale at this moment. She shook her head desperately, "It's not me, Your Majesty. How could it be me? Don't you understand my true feelings?"

"enough!"

The emperor shouted to stop him, with murderous intent in his eyes.

Song Zhiming understood that it seemed that the emperor already knew that he was cuckolded.

It should be quite exciting.

As the saying goes, family disgrace should not be made public. The emperor did not want everyone to know about this scandal. He lowered his voice and said, "Wise Prince, if you wake up in time and kowtow to confess your guilt, I can let you have an intact body."

The wise king smiled bloodthirstily, "I am now very sober."

"He is stubborn and refuses to change his ways." Li Yan shook his head.

"Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. I must go all the way to the end."

A cold light flashed in the wise king's eyes, and he tore off the long gown that was in the way, revealing the soft armor underneath.

He stood up, drew his sword, and pretended to attack, saying bitterly, "Royal brother, I have never understood why I am inferior to you. Why can you be so high and mighty while I must bow down to you?"

The emperor's face was solemn, "We are brothers!"

"When you summoned me to the palace every month to play chess and humiliate me, did you treat me like a brother?"

"I have no intention of insulting you."

"Don't sound so innocent."

The wise king gnashed his teeth and said, "You have put my fiefdom under your nose, trapped me for my entire life, and made me live under your oppression forever. Even my beloved girl was sent to your bed because her family wanted to please you.

As for me, I am afraid that you will be suspicious, so I dare not marry a girl from a wealthy family. I can only marry a girl from a humble family to satisfy you.

How can I be willing to do that?"

His voice was filled with anger, as if he was pouring out all the grievances he had suffered over the years.

The queen standing beside her had already red eyes.

She forgot the King's recent expression of wanting to distance himself from her, and also forgot the King's expression of wanting to blame her for his failure, and ran to his side with emotion.

"Your Majesty, I only love you in this life."
