”Muhou!” Yi Qian cried out. His eyes were incredibly anxious, but his tendons in his arms and legs had all been cut off. It was difficult for him to even move an inch.
Empress Chen He struggled for a long time before she finally sat up. Seeing Yi Qian unable to move, her eyes that had been filled with ruthlessness for her entire life finally started to moisten.
”My son, you've suffered! Blame it on the fact that Imperial Mother was incompetent, otherwise you wouldn't have ended up like this! It's the Queen Mother who has let you down! ” Empress Morning He's tears fell drop by drop onto Yi Qian's face. For the first time in her life, her tears fell like rain in front of her son.
Yi Qian had never seen his mother like this, and did not expect that her body would be crippled, so he hurriedly said in consolation, ”Mother, don't say it like this, it's all because this one is unfilial, this one is incompetent! If this son had been a bit more capable, he wouldn't have ended up like this, calling her 'mother'! Queen Mother, if there is a next life, I am willing to be your son! ”
Empress Chen He and Yi Qian cried and complained to each other for a while before suddenly raising her head. Her tears stopped in an instant, and her expression was haughty as she faced Jun Chenglong, and said, ”Jun Chenglong, you have defeated the king, and we, mother and son, are now in your hands. If you want to kill us, kill us as you wish! But, no matter what, you are still Qian'er's royal father, so you should at least consider the fact that we have blood in our veins as a way to bid our farewells! ”
Empress Chen He was someone who had spent decades of her life fighting in the field of power. Even at the brink of death, she still possessed a calmness that ordinary people wouldn't be able to comprehend.
When experts fought, they usually needed this kind of aura.
For someone who had this sort of aura, even if he lost in the end, his opponent would still feel that he was a glorious loser.
A look of admiration flashed past Jun Chenglong's eyes when he heard Empress Chen He's words, and he shot a glance at the people of the palace.
”Chen He, you're quite a character. Good! I grant your request! But, it's best not to play any tricks, otherwise … ”Humph!” Jun Chenglong gave a heavy snort, which could be considered as giving Empress Chen He a warning.
Empress Chen He, having gained her freedom, did not waste time talking with Jun Chenglong and quickly reached out to hold Yi Qian in her arms, tightly hugging him in a moved manner.
”Jun Chenglong, I don't understand how you did it.” Empress Chen He stood up, unable to understand what she had lost.
Jun Chenglong clearly didn't have the chance to return to the palace, so wasn't he supposed to stay at the Marquis Mansion to protect Che Lingjun?! Empress Chen He looked around at the mountain of corpses surrounding her, as well as the many dark guards of Jun Chenglong, who were still standing on the stage. She couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Jun Chenglong continued, ”Since you want to know, then I shall let you die! Che'er, come, tell them everything that has happened! ”
Jun Chenglong looked at Che Lingjun with eyes full of love and admiration, as if he was looking at his most prized work, full of satisfaction and pride.
When Che Lingjun saw that Jun Chenglong had greeted him, he slightly bowed towards him and respectfully said, ”Yes! Your Majesty! This official obeys the decree! ” Then he turned around and looked at Empress Chen He. ”Esteemed Empress, this is what happened. Actually, it was this marquis who stayed in the Marquis' Mansion, and His Majesty had already gathered all of his troops to wait for you when he found out that you had thoughts of seizing the palace. We only want to capture you for now, do you think that with your little trick, you can turn the tide and turn the tides!? ”
”But! ”We obviously haven't received any news of any troop movements from Mizar City …” The empress's face was blank, but after a while she cried out involuntarily, ”That's not right!” You still have military strength! The military emblem of the mighty general is in your hands, and that mysterious General You is clearly a cover! ”
Seeing that she had finally thought of the right idea, he couldn't help but click his fingers in admiration, ”As expected of the Empress, you are really smart!”
Hearing that Chun Lingjun actually admitted it so generously, the expression on her face immediately became dejected, sighing with sorrow, ”It's just a matter of time!” Che Lingjun, you are a big character, not only have you been pretending to be stupid in front of others for many years, you have also purposely shown weakness, and have also repeatedly angered me, making me suspect you, then you and Jun Chenglong played a big part! If I haven't guessed wrongly, you should have already planned this long ago. All you have to do is wait for me to rebel! Against an opponent like you, I am convinced of my defeat! ”
After being praised by the once famous empress, Che Lingjun's eyebrows rose as he cupped his fists towards her, feigning modesty. ”The empress is is too courteous!” ”Actually, you are not bad either. As a woman, you can see that I am playing dumb. You are also a famous person. If it weren't for the political differences, I would be more than happy to befriend you!”
Empress Chen He burst out laughing when she heard that. Her expression suddenly changed as she stared at Che Ling Jun. ”Why are you saying that!?” Now that I have become a prisoner, if you want to kill me or cut me up, just give me a quick death! ”
Compared to her son Yi Lai, Cheng He was indeed a character. If it wasn't for them being a little too anxious, they wouldn't have fallen for his trick so easily.
Che Lingjun looked at the mother and son, then turned towards Jun Chenglong and kneeled down, and said, ”Your Majesty! My cousin and the empress may have been the first to rebel, but they are still of royal lineage. Our Mu Kingdom's royal family has always had a weak bloodline, so I hope that Your Majesty can make way for them and give them a chance to live! ”
Jun Chenglong never thought that Che Lingjun would actually plead on behalf of Yi Qianqian and his mother. At that moment, he praised the noble character of the car, and the satisfaction in his eyes became even stronger.
”Che'er! Yi Qian and the other mother and son have tried to kill you many times. Are you sure you want to plead for them? With their temperament, aren't you afraid of raising tigers and causing trouble? If they come back in the future, you will suffer! ”Che'er, as a man, you can't be so merciful!” Jun Chenglong's solemn voice revealed the truth of the situation.
However, Che Lingjun didn't have the slightest intention of changing Chu Zhong, and stubbornly said, ”Che'er thanks Uncle for his concern! But Che'er also knew that his uncle only had cousin Yi Qian as his only son. If his uncle lost his only son because of Che'er's matter, then Che'er would have wasted his long cherished care of him! Che'er's heart is already set, I hope uncle will agree to it! ”
At this time, Guan Xiaoyu had also brought a large group of soldiers to the Marquis' Mansion. When she saw the commotion, she did not immediately rush up to ask about it. She only looked at Che Lingjun thoughtfully.
With her understanding of Che Lingjun, this brat was definitely not that kind! But why did he want to save Yi Qianqian and her son?
It was really worth investigating …
Seeing that Che Lingjun was so adamant, Jun Chenglong was right on the way down. Yi Qian was his son after all, and even though the mother and son pair couldn't forgive them for their plot, but they would not let go of it! Yi Qian could be heartless, but he had to be righteous!
