Jiang Shaozhao closed his eyes slightly, seeming to be enjoying it.

A strong surprise flashed across Ji Bozhou's eyes, and a deep and strange smile appeared on his face.

In just a few days, Jiang Shaozhao has become this old man.

The fact that so many past events were revealed today, and Jiang Shaozhao did not stop them, should mean that he probably no longer has any mysterious skills in his hands.

In this case, this person is no different from my father before.

They are all just old and decadent people.

If that's the case, wouldn't it be easy to kill him?

However, in the current situation, if he were the first one to kill someone in the palace and spill blood, it might be disadvantageous to their seizure of the throne.

He glanced around the hall, and his previous bloodthirsty gaze disappeared again into the dark depths.

Wei Jie did not come in. He had arranged for the generals to come to court in advance today and they deliberately did not come.

But Shen Tingan came, but that was okay. He was now walking towards Wei Jie outside the hall.

I believe Wei Jie will be able to deal with him.

Then, there is only one person left.

Pei Fan.

Pei Fan had previously heard the emperor frantically confessing the shocking secret behind the incident. He had already become like a corpse with all the blood and meridians drained away. His whole body was numb and cold, and no part of his body was responsive.

He could understand that the emperor had secrets, but he couldn't understand why he would tell these things!

He is the emperor, oh, the confidant promoted by Niu Saner.

It took him many years to reach his current position from an ordinary imperial guard!

He didn't care whether it was Zhenlong or Niu Saner who was in power, he just wanted to keep his position as the commander of the Jinwu Guard!

Everyone knew that he always obeyed the emperor, so at this moment, his identity and position seemed a little awkward.

At this time, following Niu Saner would definitely lead to death.

But the commander of the Jinwu Guard was like a knife in the emperor's hand, able to cut everyone equally and sharply, except himself.

That is a joy that transcends a lifetime.

He hasn't done enough as the commander of the Jinwu Guard!

I still want to stay in this position that others envy!

Just as he was feeling confused and irritated, suddenly, someone bumped into his arm.

Ji Bozhou had walked around the back of the hall and came to his side without him noticing, and gave him a fairly sincere smile.

"Commander Pei," he said, standing beside him, looking with him at the father and son arguing on the stage, "Now that you know the truth, what are your plans?"

"I don't have any plans." Pei Fan told the truth.

Ji Bozhou smiled, "Ji believes that what you are saying now is the truth."

"I, Ji Bozhou, would like to make a deal with Lord Pei. I will forget the past grudges between the commander and my Ji family. I will let bygones be bygones, and Lord Pei will continue to serve as the commander of the Jinwu Guard."

"However," he looked into his eyes, "Master Pei must guarantee that the person standing on the throne is the Third Prince."

"The third prince?" Pei Fan asked deliberately.

How could he not know the Third Prince's intention at this moment? However, Niu Saner's identity had been revealed before. How confident could the Third Prince be in becoming the emperor?

No normal person would choose him.

Ji Bozhou knew what he was thinking, so he whispered, "Commander Pei, why don't you take a look outside the palace?"

"We have 60% of the troops in the Jingji camp outside. How many soldiers can your Jinwu Guard have?"

"I'm not here to ask you to choose a side, Master Pei. I want to tell you that it will only take us half a quarter of an hour to completely defeat the Jinwu Guards."

The number of Jinwu Guards was less than 10% of the number of troops in the capital camp. Pei Fan suddenly realized this and finally began to take the situation of the troops outside the palace seriously.

Yes.

As Ji Bozhou said, they were indeed outnumbered, and currently in the hall, the only ones who could protect the emperor and ministers and oppose them were the Jinwu Guards.

Did Ji Bozhou mean for him not to interfere?

Pei Fan's eyebrows twitched.

This is a good idea that suits his current position...

Seeing that Pei Fan did not refuse, Ji Bozhou said: "The commander will just have to act according to circumstances. As long as the Third Prince becomes the emperor, you will still be the commander."

He glanced at the Crown Prince beside Jiang Xing and said, "If the Crown Prince becomes the Emperor, I don't need to say much about what will happen to you..."

Pei Fan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

indeed.

Previously, he thought that if he did not take any action, he would not face the reckoning in the future.

But he is Niu Saner's man. If the prince ascends the throne, then he...

He originally thought he had a way out. In reality, it was already gone...

While he was stunned, Ji Bozhou had already walked towards the Sumeru Platform again.

"What are you doing? Jiang Xu, what do you want to do?!" Niu Saner, who was sitting on the dragon throne, felt the sharp blade on his neck, and his head, which had been dizzy before, suddenly felt a throbbing pain from anger.

This rebellious son actually wanted to kill him!

Jiang Xu had already kidnapped Niu Saner at this time, and the sharp dagger in his hand was close to his flesh, oozing a line of red.

He said, "Everyone, you've heard what Niu San'er said earlier, right? He's not an emperor at all, but a peasant from Dingjiagou!"

"But..." He glanced at Niu San'er with malicious eyes, "There is one thing he lied about!"

"The person who had an affair with my mother in the Ji Mansion was not him at all, but the real Crown Prince!"

"Niu San'er entered the Eastern Palace half a year after my father married my mother as a concubine. The truth is not what he said at all!"

"I'm not his son at all. My father is the true Emperor of Daliang, Jiang Muyao, not a lowly peasant like him! Today, I'm here with the soldiers from the capital camp to quell the rebellion. I want to behead the evil man who killed my father and make him apologize to the royal dragon vein and the generations of descendants!"

Jiang Xu spoke with great righteousness, and after he finished speaking, the whole court fell into deathly silence.

"Pfft."

A light sneer was heard in the hall.

The sound was extremely harsh in the extremely silent atmosphere at this moment, making everything today seem like a joke.

The sneer came from Jiang Shaozhao.

After hearing this, Niu Saner turned his head to look at Jiang Xu in disbelief for a long time, as if he could hardly believe these words and the fact that he was being kidnapped by the third prince.

Intense emotions and a shaken expression.

His hands were trembling, and with a flip of his fist, Jiang Xu felt pain in the wrist that was holding the long knife.

With a "clang", the long sword fell to the ground, and two "pa pa" sounds were heard, and two huge slaps fell on the face of the third prince.

"You, you actually hit me!" Jiang Xu roared, covering his face.

Hearing this fierce roar, the figure in the water-red palace dress with phoenix brocade flowers behind the screen could no longer hold back and stood up in an instant.

Empress Ji looked at Niu San'er, who had just slapped Jiang Xu twice, and shouted in shock, "How dare you!"

When Niu Saner saw Ji Jiaru appear, a light immediately flashed in his eyes.

But after hearing the words from her mouth, the light immediately turned into silence.

"Niu Saner, don't forget who you are!"

She rushed towards Jiang Xu from behind the screen: "Xu'er is right, he is the child of me and the real emperor, and has nothing to do with a peasant like you!"

"At that time, I was two months pregnant, and the Emperor had already ascended the throne. Only then did I realize that the people around me seemed to have memory problems, and many things didn't match up with the past. However, I was stupid and didn't realize there was anything wrong, so I was confused for so many years!"

She stopped Jiang Xu, shielding him behind most of her body, and glared at Niu Saner fiercely: "Don't try to frame him with empty words. Only Yi'er is your child! Xu'er is the heir of the true dragon. He is the legitimate prince!"

When Empress Ji saw Niu Saner beat Jiang Xu, she lost all her rationality.

At this moment, he was staring at Niu Saner fiercely, looking at him as if he was a stranger.

Oh no, not even as good as strangers, like those lowly servants she had beaten to death with a stick.

She only knew that only if Xu'er became the emperor could she become the empress dowager.

Otherwise, she would become a criminal and might even go to jail.

She doesn't want it, she will protect Xu'er to ascend the throne even if she dies!
