"You should also prepare all our manpower in Yingtian Prefecture. After muddying the waters, we will immediately take advantage of the situation and take the Second Prince to Fujian by sea. The throne is out of our reach now, so our goal is to escape."

Zhou Dexing gave instructions to the man in tight clothes.

As for King Zhu Gui of Qi... or whoever else, let them fight over it.

The man in tights clasped his fists and nodded: "Yes!"

Zhou Dexing picked up the teacup and slowly took a sip of tea, looking outside with narrowed eyes: "The only one left is Yuan Tai."

however.

next moment.

But I heard a burst of noise outside.

"Ouch! What are you doing? This is the residence of Marquis Jiang Xia. How dare you barge in like this?!"

"How dare you! You are rebelling! You are really rebelling!"

“Ah—let…let me go! Let me go!!”

"master……"

"..."

The noise outside was getting closer and closer, and the whole mansion seemed to be in chaos. The place was filled with shouts, the sound of things falling to the ground... and so on.

Inside the hall.

Zhou Dexing and the other two who were discussing the matter suddenly changed their expressions.

"Butler, what happened?" Zhou Dexing pointed outside, looking solemn and a little nervous.

The butler and the man in tight clothes looked at each other and shook their heads in confusion.

But soon, a group of burly men wearing Feiyu uniforms and embroidered spring swords on their waists walked in aggressively.

The leader was Song Zhong.

Zhou Dexing's face changed, he slammed the table and stood up, shouting, "Song Zhong! What are you doing!?"

Song Zhong's face was icy, and he said concisely, "I am arresting people by order of His Majesty."

Zhou Dexing feigned composure, angrily swung his sleeves, and shouted, "Even if His Majesty wants to arrest someone, there should be a reason. Your Majesty can't just let the Imperial Guards come to my mansion and cause chaos with a single word, can you?"

Song Zhong sneered: "Of course there is a reason."

"Zhou Ji, son of Zhou Dexing, Marquis of Jiangxia."

"During the mourning period for the late Emperor and the Crown Prince, not only did you neglect your duties and responsibilities, you also committed adultery with the palace maids!"

"When he was discovered, at least a dozen palace maids and eunuchs witnessed it. The entire palace saw it. The evidence is irrefutable! Your Majesty has ordered that the entire family of the Marquis of Jiangxia be executed!"

"What...what?!" Zhou Dexing was stunned on the spot. His heart seemed to sink into the abyss and almost stopped beating.

Having an affair with a palace maid and defile the palace? ?

No wonder Zhou Ji didn’t come back all night!

As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father. When Song Zhong said this, Zhou Dexing knew that something was wrong - his son was capable of doing such a thing!

"Idiot! Idiot!!" Zhou Dexing slumped down on his chair, his eyes filled with despair and unwillingness...

He always knew that Zhu Yunhuan would not let him go.

That's why he has been making so many plans in the past few days, not to help Zhu Yunwen ascend to the throne, but to take advantage of the situation and escape.

He saw that the King of Qi was tricked into coming over.

Seeing that Yuan Tai's group of trolls were defeated by Lan Yu's party in the court, there was a good chance for him to take over.

As a result, Zhou Ji actually got into such a trouble!

Finished!

It's all over!

"Marquis Jiang Xia, let's go." Song Zhong looked at Zhou Dexing with a cold face and said.

Zhou Dexing was in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.

Zhu Yunhuan had been waiting for an opportunity to get rid of him, but now... Why? There is no solution!

Song Zhong's voice fell into his ears.

It was like thorns piercing his eardrums.

After a moment of shock, Zhou Dexing stood up and muttered, "The whole family was executed... No... It was just a palace maid..."

Then he roared, "Your Majesty the Great and I have been playmates since childhood, and I have followed Your Majesty all the way to achieve great military exploits. How could he attack my entire Zhou family over such a trivial matter? There is no such thing in the world!"

Song Zhong shook his head and chuckled, "Marquis Jiang Xia can certainly be considered an old friend of His Majesty."

"But our current emperor also said that if we talk about old friendship, the late emperor was Zhou Ji's uncle. It's unreasonable for him to indulge in pleasure with a woman just a few days after his uncle's death!"
