The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

Xue Mingyue only felt her hands and feet getting cold.

She originally thought she had guessed the truth, but she never expected that the truth behind the matter was far more complicated than she thought, and there were more hidden secrets behind it...

I also never thought that there would be someone in this world who would have such a plan.

The character of an emperor is truly beyond the reach of ordinary people.

After Xue Mingyue calmed down her emotions caused by the events of her past and present lives, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Emperor Jingping, who was lying on the bed with disheveled hair. After Xie Lang finished speaking, his back seemed to become a little hunched.

At this moment, when I couldn't see his face clearly...

He bore no resemblance to the previous emperor who was high and mighty.

But Xue Mingyue didn't dare to underestimate him at all.

She could never forget that in the previous life, she, her grandfather, Xie Lang and so many people in Dingyuan Marquis Mansion died because of his calculations. On the one hand, he suppressed you into the dust, and on the other hand, he fed you sweet dates and gave you hope.

This kind of person is truly a terrifying person.

Where Xue Mingyue couldn't see, Emperor Jingping, who had a look of madness on his face, became surprisingly calm after Xie Lang finished speaking. All the turbulent waves were hidden in his eyes.

"Xie family boy, what do you want to do?"

He took several deep breaths before he could speak this sentence smoothly, his voice trembling.

Everyone present looked at Xie Lang.

Zhang Yao and Lian Dongshu also looked at him quickly.

The purpose of his doing this was already clear, and they could all guess Xie Lang's demands. His Majesty must have guessed it as well, so he chose to take a step back in the face of Xie Lang's aggressiveness.

If that’s the case, is it possible for today’s incident to end here?

"You are bringing this up again just to overturn your father's verdict. I can promise you this," Emperor Jingping stared at him nervously, and said word by word with difficulty, "I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

Xie Lang looked down at him and repeated calmly, "Satisfactory answer?"

"I can announce that what happened back then was wrong." Seeing that he seemed to be wavering, Emperor Jingping quickly added a few more conditions, "I can also make you the King of Dingyuan, so that you can restore the glory of Dingyuan!"

Hearing this, Xue Mingyue's eyes dimmed and she pursed her lips.

She shook her head in her heart. The fact that Emperor Jingping said this showed that he didn't understand Xie Lang at all. If he had a little understanding of Xie Lang or had a clear understanding of the current situation, he would not have said such a thing.

If Xie Lang only wanted justice and the throne of King Dingyuan, why would he do what he did today?

As expected, Xie Lang's voice rang out the next moment: "I do not want to be the King of Dingyuan, nor do I need Your Majesty to bestow glory on Dingyuan. I just need Your Majesty to write a confession and make my crime public."

As Xie Lang spoke, he stared at Emperor Jingping, not missing any of his expressions.

Emperor Jingping said almost subconsciously: "This is impossible."

"If Your Majesty agrees, I can pretend that what happened today never happened and that I was reckless. But if Your Majesty does not agree, then I will have to find a way to achieve my goal myself."

Zhang Yao's whole body trembled suddenly and he looked at him in astonishment.

Upon hearing this, Queen Lu's scattered eyes gradually focused and she looked forward.

Sensing her subtle movement, Xue Mingyue narrowed his eyes slightly, and instantly tightened the dagger in his hand, with all his attention focused on her.

After Xie Lang finished his speech, the bedroom fell into silence again.

Some people looked at Xie Lang, wondering what he was thinking, while others stared closely at Emperor Jingping, wanting to see what choice he would make in the end.

This seemed to give him two choices.

But in fact, there is only one message revealed in the final analysis: no matter what choice Emperor Jingping makes, there is no possibility for him and Xie Lang to continue to coexist, and Xie Lang will never let him regain power.

Whether it was an active or passive admission, it was the same for Emperor Jingping.

After seeing this scene with her own eyes, Xue Mingyue suddenly felt nervous again. She pursed her lips tightly and stared at Xie Lang intently.

For him, after taking this step, he only has one choice.

It's either life or death.

The aged emperor who was forced into a desperate situation and the ambitious young marquis who came for revenge, stared at each other silently for a long time at this time, so long that everyone in the bedroom held their breath.

This was not the first time that Emperor Jingping had looked at this young man.

But at this moment, when he saw his black eyes, he suddenly understood why he was wary of him. At this moment, Xie Lang was very similar to him... or rather, very similar to him when he was young.

That’s not right. He should look like this after he ascended the throne.

The same ambition, the same power, the same desire to really accomplish something.

This kind of look can only be possessed by those who are in a high position.

Such people will not be willing to be inferior to others.

After an unknown amount of time, Emperor Jingping's body, which he had managed to hold on to, collapsed. He fell dejectedly onto the bed, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away in an instant. He asked in a hoarse voice:

"You, do you really have to go this far?"

If he must die, he will not be able to leave behind a clean and holy reputation.

In this confrontation, Emperor Jingping finally admitted defeat.

Xie Lang said calmly: "Yes."

Emperor Jingping's lips moved, and just as he was about to say something, another steady voice sounded first: "Your Majesty is seriously ill, and he regrets his past actions, so he wrote a confession with his own hands, admitting that the border incident ten years ago was his attempt to frame loyal officials. He believes that he is not fit to be an emperor, so he decided to abdicate and take the title of Supreme Emperor and imprison himself in Taiji Palace."

He was stunned for a moment and looked towards the source of the sound.

Empress Lu slowly walked out from the back and looked at Xie Lang: "I will stay in Taiji Palace to take care of the emperor until he passes away."

Everyone looked over.

After hearing her words, everyone's heart suddenly tightened, and then everyone looked at Xie Lang.

After a moment, Xie Lang nodded: "As the Queen Mother said."

After walking out of Chengqian Palace, the wind and snow stopped slightly.

Xue Mingyue raised her head and looked at the sky where the dark clouds were slowly dispersing, she seemed absent-minded as if she was thinking about something.

But she was soon brought back to her senses by the faint smell of blood in the air. She moved her stiff fingers and tilted her head to look at the person next to her. From this angle, she could just see his resolute jaw.

And the tiny mole on his chin.

...Just like the first time she saw him.

That night, she was rescued from the freezing cold river. When she opened her eyes in a daze, she only saw the young man's jaw and the small mole.

Until now, Xue Mingyue finally knew:

She found him and will be with him forever.
