Kill the sadistic male protagonist and become the emperor

After leaving the house, Ren Baozhi asked Yundu and others to leave first.

After all, the next person she will face is the Empress and the Emperor. If she makes any mistake, she will lose her head.

Although she had enough confidence in herself and believed in Li Qixi, she still did not dare to guarantee absolute success.

If things don't work out, at least they won't be implicated.

Jiang Jingfeng was too weak, and she was a little breathless even walking from the inner courtyard to the outer courtyard.

Ren Baozhi tried to support her several times, but was rejected.

The reason was not hers, Jiang Jingfeng just wanted to walk back to that family with dignity.

However, as soon as they arrived at the outer house, they were stopped by a group of guards.

This group of people included not only the guards of the Jiang Mansion, but also the royal guards.

Jiang Jingfeng had been imprisoned for seven years and had never seen anyone. Naturally, the guards of the Jiang Mansion could not recognize him, let alone the royal guards.

Seeing Jiang Jingfeng's disheveled appearance, one of them shouted, "Who are you?"

Although Jiang Jingfeng was mentally prepared, when the moment really came, he was so nervous that his palms were sweating.

She clenched her fists, trying to calm herself down, and spoke clearly: "Jiang Jingfeng, the eldest son of the Jiang family."

Upon hearing this, a guard from the Jiang residence shouted, "That's complete nonsense! Our eldest son went missing seven years ago. How did you come from, a beggar? Tell the truth!"

Naturally, the people in the main hall heard this noise clearly.

When they heard about the eldest son of the Jiang family, Jiang Tiantian and his father looked at each other in surprise and doubt, and their faces changed at the same time.

Li Qixi naturally didn't miss the wonderful change of expression between the two. She put down her teacup and asked curiously, "Why is Jiang Jijiu so pale?"

Then she looked at Jiang Tangtang again, covering her mouth with her hands in shock, "Oh my, why is Jiang Cainan as pale as Jiang Jijiu? Could it be that the eldest son of the Jiang family really has come outside?"

"Aniang, Aye, let's go out and take a look."

In the courtyard, Zheng Kai, the General of the Thousand Bull Guards, stood shoulder to shoulder with several Thousand Bull Guards, pointing their Thousand Bull Swords directly at Ren Baozhi and Jiang Jingfeng. The guards held imperial bows and arrows in their left and right hands, with arrows on the strings, ready to be fired, surrounding the two of them.

At this moment, they must not act rashly, otherwise these guards will accuse them of being criminals and kill them on the spot.

Ren Baozhi could only delay time and wait for Li Qixi to come out. Fortunately, she came quickly.

"Oh, Madam Chen, why are you here?" Li Qixi waved his hand to signal the guards to disperse.

But none of the guards obeyed the order. Only after Li Yaozu nodded did they retreat a few steps, but their swords were still sheathed.

Ren Baozhi brought Jiang Jingfeng with her and first bowed respectfully to the Empress and Emperor, then bowed to Li Qixi, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Princess. I heard that Jiang Jingfeng, the eldest son of the Jiang family, was lost seven years ago. It's just a coincidence that I found him today, so I hurried to send him to Jiang Jijiu."

Wu Wencang glanced at the Qianniu Guard General holding a knife. The man's eyes moved between the Queen Mother and the Emperor. Seeing that Li Yaozu had no intention of objecting, he sheathed the knife and stood quietly aside.

Seeing this, the other Qianniu Guards also put away their weapons.

Wu Wencang still looked gentle and asked, "How did you know that this person was the eldest son of the Jiang family?"

Ren Baozhi kowtowed heavily and said, "Please forgive me, Empress Dowager and Emperor. I found the eldest son of the Jiang family in a room in the backyard of the Jiang family."

Others couldn't recognize Jiang Jingfeng, but Jiang Tiantian knew him. Because of this, he was filled with shock and hatred. With a bare face, he said, "Nonsense! Jingfeng disappeared seven years ago. I searched all over Chang'an City but couldn't find her. How did you find my son in the backyard now?"

Jiang Tangtang also joined in, pointing at Ren Baozhi and saying, "This man must be a charlatan. When he heard that the Emperor was coming to the palace today, he made up such a ridiculous lie in an attempt to deceive the Emperor and get a reward!"

He looked at the Emperor, his square face trembling with anger, looking like it was about to fall apart. "Saint, this is a crime of deceiving the emperor. Why don't you execute this woman right here and then? Killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, to serve as a warning to others, so that no one else will imitate her behavior and deceive the emperor in the future!"

Li Qixi said innocently, "Oh, Jiang Cainan is so angry! Madam Chen is my best friend. How could you execute her so hastily? Even a criminal has the opportunity to defend himself."

She tugged at Li Yaozu's sleeve and said arrogantly, "Father, let's listen to what Madam Chen has to say, okay? As a princess of a country, how could I be in league with such a charlatan? Jiang Cainan's remarks just now clearly show that he doesn't know people well."

Ren Baozhi's pupils trembled. Is this... is this still the Li Qixi she knew?

Fortunately, she was lowering her head now, otherwise she really couldn't hide her emotions. She really couldn't accept that a grown woman would suddenly become like a little boy.

But she soon realized that she had no choice but to be humble and submissive in front of Chen Gongzheng.

Patriarchy, male supremacy, it is clear who has the power.

Men seem to be born with a sense of superiority. In this environment, women can only bow down and cater to them and please them in order to get everything they want.

But is this really the only way for women?

"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say." Li Yaozu turned to Ren Baozhi and said condescendingly, "Since Xi'er trusts you, then you should tell the truth. But don't let Xi'er down."

"This..." Jiang Tangtang wanted to stop him, but Li Yaozu gave her a sharp look and she dared not say anything.

Jiang Tiantian had no choice but to pull Jiang Tangtang behind her and forced a smile to smooth things over: "Saint, please forgive me, this dog man is just too concerned and impulsive. In ancient times, King Wuling of Zhao promoted the Hu clothing and horse riding to strengthen military power, but he inadvertently touched the interests of the aristocracy and caused..."

"That's enough," Li Yaozu waved his hand. "Hasn't your boasting in the main hall just now been enough? I'll let her speak now."

Jiang Tiantian stopped talking awkwardly: "Yes."

He took a step back, and out of Li Yaozu's sight, his gaze was like an icy poisonous snake, tightly entwining around Ren Baozhi.

It's a warning and a threat.

But Ren Baozhi met his gaze directly, without any fear, and even a barely perceptible hint of mockery appeared on her lips.

She kowtowed again respectfully. "Jiang Jingfeng, the eldest son of the Jiang family, has been imprisoned in the inner chambers of the Jiang family for over seven years. I, a humble servant, cannot possibly understand the suffering he endured during this period, nor can I explain the reasons in a few words. I beg the Emperor to grant Jiang Jingfeng a chance to speak personally to you about the suffering and torture she has endured over the years, so that those hidden filth can be laid out before the eyes of the world!"

"I agree."
