Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

Hearing the empress's straightforward words, Lu Chen couldn't help but twitch his eyes.

I'm really thankful for your trust...

He really couldn't understand that the Holy King of Cangming had already shown it so clearly, and he didn't pay attention to the Empress at all in the court before, and her ambition was fully revealed under the eyes of everyone. would say such unbelievable things.

Forget it, it is estimated that this guy has been suppressed to the point of insanity, there is no need to talk nonsense with her abnormal mind, it is better to go directly to the Holy King of Cangming for trouble.

Thinking about it this way, Lu Chen didn't say anything more, got up and walked out with the empress.

In Ziji City, the Empress Dowager's people have been cleaned up, and the rest of the palace people are basically those who really worked in the past, and now they submit to the majesty of the Holy King Cangming and pretend to serve the Empress.

When he came outside, Lu Chen saw a few eunuchs and maids looking in the direction of Xuanjimen with apprehensive faces. Behind them was the Xuanwu Guard in Xuanjia.

Seeing the empress and Lu Chen coming out, the palace people first gave Lu Chen a surprised look, and then hurried to serve the empress.

The Xuanwu guards remained expressionless, and waited until the Empress passed by them before making any movement. They guarded around the Empress dutifully like the guards in the palace before, but they didn't even look at Lu Chen.

Like a cold machine.

The empress looked ahead and said lightly, "Huaiyu, come here."

Lu Chen was taken aback for a moment, then responded, and walked behind the empress.

At this time, the empress suddenly took two steps back and moved closer to Lu Chen.

Immediately, a charming fragrance hit, and a few strands of black hair were gently swayed by the breeze, and floated across Lu Chen's face. The slight touch brought a tingling comfort, which was inexplicably intoxicating.

"Let's go."

A calm voice rang in his ears.

"Come with me and make a thorough settlement with the past."

Hearing this, Lu Chen felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Of course, more of a sense of weirdness.

This extraordinary way of speaking is not like what the puppet emperor who can be rounded and flattened by others can have...

Shaking his head, Lu Chen suppressed the ominous premonition welling up in his heart, and replied in a deep voice, "I am so honored!"

The empress nodded slightly, then stopped talking, and led the crowd towards Xuanji Gate calmly.

At this time, outside the Xuanji Gate.

Jiang Chengdao sat astride the Jueying horse, staring directly at the Xuanji Gate that was wide open not far away.

Behind him, a group of core generals of the Cangming Army stood quietly in place, no matter how the cold winter wind raged around them, they could not shake them at all.

But among such an elite Cangming army, there are a few quite eye-catching figures, they are Li Zheng, Xie Hongyun and others who were deliberately brought along by Jiang Chengdao when he sent troops to chase after the Queen Mother Zhao.

I saw them dressed in green clothes and dressed as scribes, and they were either potbellied or thin, and they didn't dare to use the cold-dispelling technique in front of the holy king. Shaking uncontrollably.

"His Royal Highness..."

Li Zheng couldn't bear it any longer, so he bravely rode forward and walked up to Jiang Chengdao's side.

"Forgive me for being bold, may I ask what are you waiting for?"

As soon as the words fell, the others looked at Jiang Chengdao at the same time.

Although Jiang Chengdao didn’t do what they thought, and entered the capital through the Huangji Gate through the Holy Land Road, declaring forcefully that he was about to seize the supreme imperial power in Central Continent, but entered the capital through the South China Gate through the Si’en Road, following the process of returning to the imperial court. , Let them, the Holy Kings who expressed their position early, instinctively feel uneasy.

But Jiang Chengdao just left the Nanhua Gate without saying hello, and didn't say anything else. Therefore, from the current point of view, his ambition to usurp the throne while the emperor's power is declining has not changed, but he doesn't know why it is superfluous.

For this, they can only attribute it to the fact that the Holy King is different from ordinary people after all, and also different from the hero they know.

Of course, the main reason is that they dare not think too much.

After all, if that almost impossible possibility becomes a reality, it will definitely be a disaster for them, so they dare not even think about that possibility.

After all, people tend to believe what they want to believe after all, not to mention that the sage kings have already achieved this level, and it is almost impossible to give up the world that is at their fingertips.

Jiang Chengdao glanced at him and said lightly, "Wait for Your Majesty."

"Huh? Waiting for Your Majesty?"

Li Zheng was stunned.

What the hell? A large group of them have blown the biting cold wind here for so long, just to wait for the puppet emperor who has no sense of existence?

What are you doing?

You are the Holy King! One of the strongest in Central Continent!

Moreover, with a powerful soldier in hand, the entire Luojing City is firmly controlled by the Cangming Army, and there are few people in the whole world who dare to be enemies with you. You have already reached this level, so go directly to Ziwei Palace and kick that weak waste. Isn't the dragon chair finished? What are you waiting for her here for?

Unable to figure it out, Li Zheng subconsciously asked, "Why?"

"Ah!"

There was a sudden sneer from under the mask.

"My king's actions, do I still have to explain to Li Shaoqing?"

Hearing this, Li Zheng's complexion changed immediately.

However, before he could open his mouth, an incomparably vast aura suddenly gushed out from Jiang Chengdao's body, pressing down on him in an instant.

"Hmm!"

In just a split second, Li Zheng felt as if a mighty force was pressing down on his back, and his fragile knees could not support such a powerful force. He suddenly groaned, and knelt down uncontrollably.

"Li Shaoqing!"

Xie Hongyun's complexion changed drastically, and the others were not much better, looking at Jiang Chengdao with surprise and fear.

"Your Majesty the Holy King forgives your sins. Li Shaoqing is outspoken and caring about His Majesty's great cause. This time, he spoke inappropriately in a moment of impatience and offended His Majesty. He definitely did not mean to despise His Majesty!"

"Yes, Mr. Li has a good character, he is loyal and courageous, and he abides by his ministers' morals. He will never intentionally offend His Highness. I hope His Highness will learn from you!"

"I beg Your Highness to raise your hand..."

A few people say what you say, help Li Zheng, and at the same time speak for yourself.

The corners of Jiang Chengdao's mouth under his visor lifted slightly, and he sneered with disdain.

Good character? Loyalty? Abide by the festival of ministers?

Is this kind of shameless trash who is seeking glory from the seller worthy?

This kind of person can actually occupy a high position. Sure enough, Daxia's officialdom is hopeless?

While thinking this way, Jiang Chengdao withdrew his coercion, and at the same time said in a meaningful and cold voice: "There will be no next time."

After all, he is just a courtier and has no power to deal with these ministers who have betrayed the Lord.

It is the most appropriate way to leave it to the empress to deal with it herself afterwards.

"Ahem!"

The huge force on his body suddenly disappeared, and Li Zheng, who was relieved, coughed violently for a while, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

In the next second, he stood up and knelt down in front of Jiang Chengdao.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your mercy. I will definitely remember this lesson, and there will never be a next time!"

Regarding these words, Jiang Chengdao smiled and said nothing.

next time? People like you want to have a next time?

Just when Jiang Chengdao shook his head secretly.

Inside the Xuanji Gate, at the corner at the end of the passage, there was a sudden sound of footsteps.

Hearing this voice, Jiang Chengdao immediately closed his eyes, then rode forward on his horse, and walked slowly towards the Xuanji Gate on his Juying horse.

It's time to draw an end to the darkest six years of Daxia.
