Both sides were right in court. Those who could take sides had already taken sides. Those who were still unwilling to take sides had all taken leave and did not even go to court.

They did not want to accidentally lose their heads.

Half a month later.

The emperor’s whereabouts were still unknown.

The Empress Dowager announced the emperor’s death and the palace was filled with mourning banners overnight.

Since the Emperor had passed away, the crown prince should inherit the throne. However, at this time, the Empress Dowager took out a posthumous edict to appoint the son of an concubine as Emperor.

Everyone knew that the imperial edict was fake.

However, in this situation, it didn’t make any difference whether they knew or not.

The battle between the Empress Dowager and the crown prince was unavoidable.

–

Lin Jue was busy discussing the current situation with others. He only saw Ming Shu for a short period of time every day.

However, every time he saw her, he had to make love to Ming Shu.

He seemed to be afraid that he wouldn’t see her again.

Ming Shu couldn’t stand him.

It wasn’t that serious.

It was just a empress dowager. She could handle ten more.

Why not..

Just kidnap her too?

Ming Shu felt that this was very feasible.

To capture a thief, one must first capture the King!

However, before she could capture the empress dowager, she suddenly heard that an army was surrounding the imperial city. The civilians hid in their homes and didn’t dare to come out. The entire imperial city was strangely quiet.

“Didn’t you notice that they had sent so many people to the capital?”

The group of people below did not dare to make a sound.

Lin Jue swept his gaze across the group of people. “Speak? Are you all mute? weren’t all of you able to speak before?”

The group of people did not dare to make a sound. They lowered their heads and lowered their presence.

“Get Out!”

Xie An waited for the group of people to leave before she took a step forward. “Your Highness, they actually sent so many people secretly. Now that the imperial city is surrounded, it is very disadvantageous for us.”

“Those people…”Lin jue paused and said, “They must have been brought here by Duke Jin.”

“Duke Jin…”Xie An was shocked. “Does that mean that Duke Jin has been on the Empress Dowager’s side for a long time?”

Lin Jue didn’t comment.

“No Wonder Duke Jin refused to visit him.”Xie An gritted her teeth.

Duke Jin had been on the empress dowager’s side for a long time. Of course, he wouldn’t see them again.

But..

Duke Jin had not returned to the capital for many years. How could he have anything to do with the Empress Dowager?

Lin Jue did not have time to think about this. “How long until our people arrive?”

Xie an said, “General Rongwei will only arrive one day later. Even if he arrives, it will be difficult for him to enter the imperial palace. It will still be disadvantageous to us.”

They had not expected the empress dowager to suddenly besiege the city.

Even if the Empress Dowager wanted the throne, they thought that she would at least have some scruples about what she would say in the future. Who knew that she would not care.

History..

Only the king had the right to decide how history was written.

Lin Jue said, “Get Ready. We will leave the city.”

“Your Highness?”

“Since staying in the palace is disadvantageous to us, we will leave.”Lin Jue said, “Be careful and do not let those people see it.”

“Yes.”

–

The eunuchs beside the empress dowager rushed to the Eastern Palace with their men.

“Empress Dowager’s decree –”

The palace maids and eunuchs in the eastern palace all came out and knelt on the ground.

The eunuchs glanced around. “Where is the Crown Prince?”

“His Highness said that he was not feeling well and took a rest,”Qiao Qing took the initiative to reply.

“Not feeling well?”He still had the mood to rest at this time? The eunuchs frowned and lifted their feet to walk towards the sleeping palace. “Go and see the Crown Prince.”

The bedroom was kicked open. The eunuchs rushed into the room, but there was no one in the room.

“Where is he?”

“Where did he go?”

No one knew about the palace maids and eunuchs.

“Take them away!”

The crown prince disappeared, and the Empress Dowager took the opportunity to appoint the son of concubine an as the emperor. He was only a child of a few years old. The Empress Dowager was just a title, but in fact, she was the one in power.

–

At this time, at the foot of a mountain far away from the imperial city.

Lin Jue was sitting in front of the bonfire, and Ming Shu was pacing back and forth beside him. “Why are you leaving?”

“The Empress Dowager Is Not Orthodox. When I go back, I can kill her and gain a good reputation. Why Don’t You Leave?”

Lin Jue didn’t think that his decision was wrong.

The palace was not his home ground. He was restricted there, so he might as well leave.

“I can help…”

Lin Jue pulled Ming Shu into his arms and hugged her gently. “I should protect you, not ask you to do anything for me.”

“Why do you have to go through so much trouble to not use the simple method?”

“What is the simple method you said?”Lin Jue pinched her palm. “Kill the Empress Dowager? Then what? There are so many followers of the empress dowager. If you kill one empress dowager, there will be other ambitious people. Do you want to kill them all?”

“Why not?”

”…”

His thoughts were different from hers..

But he couldn’t refute his wife.

Everything his wife said was right!

“I don’t just want the throne, I also want the People’s hearts. Do you understand?”

“If you sit in that position, you are the People’s hearts.”

”…”

They couldn’t continue the conversation.

Lin Jue pulled out the roasted sweet potatoes from the fire and peeled the skin to feed them to Ming Shu. The golden sweet potato meat was sweet and delicious.

One day later, Lin Jue met up with General Rong Wei’s troops.

Ming Shu didn’t know the other team, but judging from General Rong Wei’s appearance, that team must have a strong background.

“Your Highness, Should We Fight Back Now?”

General Rong Wei glanced at Ming Shu carefully.

The latter didn’t even spare him a glance and looked at Lin Jue without blinking.

“Besides the army outside the imperial city, there are also the imperial guards in the palace. We will suffer heavy losses if we fight back.”

“What do you mean, Your Highness?”

“Wait.”

General Rong Wei didn’t know what to wait for, but he was just following orders now. If the crown prince asked him to wait, he would wait.

After they finished their discussion, Lin Jue suddenly found Ming Shu was gone.

General Rong Wei pointed outside weakly. “She went out just now. It has been one incense’s time.”

Lin Jue:”…”

Lin Jue searched all over the camp and only found a piece of paper and a colorful… glutinous rice ball?

“Stop wasting time. I Won’t play with you anymore. I’ll come again after you ascend the throne.”

Lin Jue:”? ?”

What happened to sharing the joys and sorrows?

What happened to sharing life and death?

She actually left! !

Lin Jue’s chest hurt.

Lin Jue sat in the snow and sighed for a long time.

It was good that she left.

It was indeed dangerous to follow him.

The Little Beast rolled around in the snow and Lin Jue stared at it for a long time. What was this thing?

Was It an animal?

He had never seen such an animal with such a color..

The Little Beast suddenly stopped and stared at Lin Jue with its black eyes.

What are you looking at? If it wasn’t for you, would the poop-picker have thrown me here?

Ugly Monster, two-legged beast, annoying and ugly!

The poop-picker still treated it as a treasure, HMPH!

It was clearly the treasure!

Ugly Monster!

Lin Jue:”…”

Although he didn’t know what this thing was, he felt that it was scolding him just now.

Don’t ask him how he knew.

Intuition.

If it wasn’t for his wife’s remark that she left this thing behind, he would have stomped it to death.

The Man and the Beast looked at each other in silence in the snow for a long time.
