Outside the main hall, Wei Jie and his men did not enter the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

At this time, outside Taihe Gate, the sound of the approaching marching army shook the earth, but Wei Jie's men stood in formation as usual, remaining calm in the face of danger.

Pei Fan saw that Wei Jie's Beijing camp army did not make any other resistance except for standing in formation. He was not sure whether he had already mobilized troops for war or had other ideas.

He went to clasp his hands and said, "Commander-in-Chief Wei, there is a large army marching outside. I'm afraid there will be rebellion in the palace today. Please order your subordinates to intercept the incoming army outside Taihe Gate! Taihe Gate is the last line of defense!"

Pei Fan spoke in an anxious tone, with sweat on his forehead. He stood on tiptoe from time to time to glance at the Taihe Gate where the army's footsteps could be vaguely seen, his expression full of anxiety.

However, Wei Jie did not answer at this time. Instead, another person in official robes who had been standing next to Wei Jie put his arm around Wei Jie's shoulders and answered for him.

"Commander Pei is concerned about the stability of the court and sets an example for us. Don't worry, this general and the governor will work together to resist this powerful enemy!"

Shen Ting'an spoke in a calm tone, his eyebrows raised, and patted Wei Jie's shoulders twice with his broad hands. He looked at Pei Fan with a smile, and there seemed to be a gleam of swords in his eyes.

Pei Fan was confused for a moment.

He turned to look at Wei Jie again.

Wei Jie spread his hands and smiled bitterly, "General Shen was once my superior and also my master. I will cooperate with him, so please rest assured, Commander."

Having said that, seeing the troops getting closer and closer outside, Wei Jie could actually resist giving orders to the deputy general beside him. Moreover, Shen Ting'an had been pressing down on his shoulders, and he didn't move at all, like a sculpture.

Pei Fan was a smart man and he immediately sensed something was wrong.

Even Wei Jie didn't move, so why should he get involved in this mess?

He bowed silently and retreated, then turned and walked into the hall.

Just wait and see what happens!

Ji Bozhou felt the ground shaking due to the march of the army outside, and subconsciously looked up at Pei Fan who had just entered.

Pei Fan deliberately turned his face away.

Seeing Pei Fan's expression, he looked at the body of the third prince who was already dead beside him.

Ji Bozhou felt a little uneasy.

However, when he looked up again, he saw Jiang Xing beside him. He had been staying by Lu Xuan's side, checking her body since she was assassinated. His indifferent appearance made him feel even more irritated and angry.

The two of them kept asking about his well-being and seemed to not take him seriously at all, which was very irritating.

His eyes trembled. In the current situation, it seemed that he was the only one who was most disadvantaged!

Outside, Wei Jie remained motionless, without any intention of raising an army.

Judging from Pei Fan's behavior, he might also want to defect.

Yes, the alliance between me and them was just a temporary one, brought together for profit, so how could it last long?

Xu'er has left. When the army rushes in later, all the ministers in the hall are safe. I'm afraid he will be the only one buried here.

No, his revenge has not been taken yet, and Yuanyuan has not returned to him yet!

He can't be bullied!

His pupils trembled, and suddenly, his heart moved.

He still has a way to go!

There was a flash of light, and a long sword was pulled out from Jiang Xu's body and thrown from the air, immediately heading towards the prince where Jiang Xing had been standing before.

The prince had not moved since Jiang Xing asked him to come down and stand in his position. At this moment, he was completely unaware of the dangerous sword flashing with cold light behind him.

The light was so bright that Jiang Xing noticed it almost immediately.

In an instant, his pupils constricted, and without even caring about the people behind him, he immediately flew out to rescue the prince.

At this moment, Ji Bozhou stood up quickly and grabbed Lu Xuan.

"Yuanyuan, today's situation is too serious, you shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess!"

His tone was anxious, and he lowered his head to whisper beside her, "I know you have mystical skills. How about you and I join forces? I'll take that position, and you'll be my queen, okay?"

His words were truly shocking. In a flash, Jiang Xing rushed to rescue the prince. She didn't pay attention to what was happening around her and was immediately pulled halfway into the arms of the person next to her. Unexpectedly, when she heard the voice, she realized that the person who said he wanted to be the emperor was actually Ji Bozhou?! !

This person wants her to be the queen? !

Even when Niu Saner and Jiang Xu were still alive, she thought it was a pipe dream for Jiang Xu to become the emperor, let alone Ji Bozhou?

She broke free from the shackles of the man in front of her, and was thinking about how to fight back against his evil ambitions when she heard him speak again.

"Yuanyuan, I know I was wrong to you in the past. I have already remembered it. This is my second life. In the previous life, you were my wife, but I didn't cherish you. I let you down and found Song Chuchu. I repent for this matter day and night. Please forgive me..."

He grabbed her hand and said, "I know you are unwilling to give up. You are here to seek revenge on me and the Ji family. We are the ones who let you down. I don't blame you."

He turned around and glanced at the Third Prince's body. "You saw it just now. In order to protect you, I killed Xu'er as well. No one is more important to me than you."

"In the entire Ji family, no one survives except me. No one will dare to say a word against you from now on. You have the luck of the Song family mansion, you are born to be the queen. If you stay with me, I will immediately seize the throne, okay?"

Jiang Xing had just seen someone throwing a sword to kill the prince, and he flew over to rescue the person.

After calming down, he turned around and found that it was Ji Bozhou's trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain!

He pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and his eyes flashed with a cold and dangerous light.

So much time has passed, and he is still thinking about his princess!

He wanted to see what other cards Ji Bozhou had!

Picking up the long sword that Ji Bozhou had thrown at the prince just now, Jiang Xing jumped up and immediately stabbed at him. Ji Bozhou sensed the danger and dodged to the side, and the two of them quickly started fighting in the hall.

When Lu Xuan's troops arrived outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Beijing camp had not received any order to resist with all their strength because Wei Jie had been sitting on the sidelines the whole time. Therefore, the Longchuan army had a smooth journey and was extremely successful.

Seeing that Lu Xuan had brought his troops up, Shen Ting'an glanced at Wei Jie beside him.

Seeing that the situation was settled, Wei Jie nodded and immediately ordered the Beijing army to withdraw from the palace.

He had indeed wavered before, wondering whether to get closer to Jiang Shaozhao or his old benefactor Shen Tingan.

The third prince was just an accident.

Originally, today's military expedition was in response to the arrangements made by the emperor and Jiang Shaozhao for him in the past, but Shen Ting'an had been kind to him in the past, so he didn't want to offend him.

Before this, this person had come to him in a very humble manner and begged him to let his people into the palace on this day.

Among them, Shen Ting'an specifically mentioned Duke Anguo.

He knew that Shen Ting'an seemed to have some contact with Duke Anguo, who had just returned to Beijing, and he also guessed that something big might happen behind the scenes.

But he only wanted to ensure his own career success and offend as few people as possible.

So he ordered the deputy general guarding the palace gate to let in any troops of General Shen or Duke Anguo who entered the palace.

He just wanted to release a few people. If he was discovered by the emperor and Jiang Shaozhao, he could say that his people fought hard but were ultimately outnumbered. As long as he maintained a positive attitude, he could ask for forgiveness.

I can also do a favor for Duke Anguo and General Shen, so why not do it?

However, when he led his men to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he discovered that it was already in chaos. He also heard about the huge conspiracy between the Emperor and Lord Jiang.

Now that things have come to this, even a fool would know what to choose.

So he had no choice but to make a quick decision and join Shen Ting'an's side.

At least this way, he can keep his official robes.

So at this moment, he immediately withdrew his troops and returned the 60% of the troops that Duke Anguo had previously given up.
