After killing four concubines, the queen was sentenced to death and reborn

Lu Ran was wearing armor and had a stern expression as he stood in front of King Ming. A complex emotion flashed in King Ming's eyes.

"Lu Ran, you and I have known each other for many years. I really didn't expect that you would go this far and betray Xiao Xuanchen." King Ming's voice was filled with disbelief, as if he was accusing, or asking himself.

Lu Ran raised his head slightly, his eyes firm and cold, as if covered by a layer of frost. "I don't understand what your Majesty is saying. Your Majesty has invited me, please don't delay." His voice was like an ice cone, piercing into the heart of the king.

King Ming chuckled, his laughter was filled with self-mockery and sadness. "Humph, it seems that this time I will never come back." He shook his head gently, as if he was sighing about his fate.

Lu Ran had a blank expression on his face, as if he had expected all this. "Your Majesty, you have sown the seeds, so you must bear the consequences yourself, right?" His words were like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, merciless.

A flash of anger flashed across the eyes of the Ming King, but then it subsided. "You betrayed Xiao Xuanchen, what do you think you can get? Power, status? Or her?" There was a bit of disdain and ridicule in his voice.

Lu Ran smiled slightly, with a hint of sarcasm and indifference in his smile. "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry about this." His words were full of confidence and determination.

Prince Ming sighed and was about to turn around and leave when he heard Princess Ming's voice calling from behind: "Prince!" There was a hint of anxiety and reluctance in the voice.

King Ming did not look back, but said softly: "In this life, I am sorry for you. In the next life, don't meet me again." There was a bit of guilt and helplessness in his voice.

"Your Majesty!" Princess Ming shouted even more anxiously. She wanted to chase him, but was stopped by Lu Ran's men. She could only watch Prince Ming go away, tears blurring her eyes.

"Your Highness! I will meet you again in my next life." Princess Ming's voice was firm and persistent, as if she was swearing her love and loyalty.

Prince Ming stopped, but he still didn't look back. Lu Ran said coldly, "Your Majesty, His Majesty is still waiting for you." His words were like a death warrant, forcing Prince Ming to continue moving forward.

The figure of Ming Wang gradually walked away, leaving only loneliness and desolation. Lu Ran stood quietly there, his eyes deep and indifferent, as if he had already seen through the prosperity and vicissitudes of this world.

In the Purple Palace, the air was filled with the scent of ambergris, but the atmosphere was extremely solemn. The Ming King knelt on the mirror-like jade floor, facing Xiao Xuanchen who was sitting on the dragon throne. Xiao Xuanchen's eyes were as sharp as cold stars, and his voice was cold: "You, actually did such a rebellious thing? Do you still have me as the emperor in your eyes?"

King Ming raised his head, his eyes flashing with an unyielding light, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a hint of disdain. He slowly spoke, his voice full of resentment: "You can sit on this throne, isn't it because you have a good family background? Ask yourself, how am I worse than you? Father has so many sons, and there are many who are better than you, but just because you are a legitimate son, you easily got the throne, which is unfair to us."

Xiao Xuanchen's face darkened, as if covered by dark clouds. His voice was filled with unquestionable majesty: "Unfair? This is the ancestral system of Daliang. The eldest son is the heir, and the throne can only belong to me. Even if you are not convinced, so what?"

Prince Ming suddenly stood up with a crazy look on his face. He roared loudly: "Xiao Xuanchen! Don't be complacent. I lost, but you didn't win. If you won, Xiao Xuanqi would have died long ago, but you still don't dare to touch him. Why? Because your foundation is still unstable, and you still can't sit firmly on the throne. Even if you are the legitimate son of my father, there are many people who don't obey you. Without the identity of a legitimate son, you are nothing. Even when my father was in the past, he never chose you as the crown prince. You can never win in this life!"

Xiao Xuanchen's face was horrified by these words, and anger was surging in his heart like a raging fire. He stood up suddenly and slapped the dragon table beside him, causing the inkstone on the table to fly up. His eyes were wide open, and with a wave of his arm, the inkstone flew towards the Ming King like a meteor.

The inkstone fell heavily on King Ming's face, causing him to stagger back a few steps. Blood mixed with ink and slid down his forehead, staining his robe red. But King Ming didn't seem to feel the slightest pain. He raised his head and laughed, his laughter full of mockery and pleasure: "Hahahaha!"

Xiao Xuanchen was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed his finger at Ming Wang and shouted, "How outrageous!" But his anger could not change the facts before him. Ming Wang's words were like a sharp knife, piercing deeply into his heart.

"Xiao Xuanchen! From the beginning to the end, you have never won, and you will never win in this life. I will be watching from heaven how you lose step by step." King Ming roared to the sky, his voice filled with endless resentment and curses.

"Someone come here!" Xiao Xuanchen was completely enraged by King Ming's words. He roared angrily, and his voice echoed throughout the Zichen Palace.

Lu Ran pushed the door open and walked in. The scales on his armor gleamed coldly under the dim light. He knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Your Majesty!"

"Take him away, give him poisoned wine, and execute him immediately." Xiao Xuanchen's voice was cold and resolute, as if it came from the underworld.

"Your Majesty!" Lu Ran was slightly startled, but then he understood Xiao Xuanchen's determination, and he did not dare to hesitate at all.

"Grant death!" Xiao Xuanchen roared again, his face turned ashen and flames of anger burned in his eyes.

"Yes!" Lu Ran responded in a deep voice. He stood up, walked to King Ming, looked at him with complicated eyes, then waved his hand gently, signaling the guards behind him to take King Ming away.

King Ming laughed loudly, his voice full of madness and sarcasm: "Hahahaha! Xiao Xuanchen, I will watch you in the sky and watch how you lose miserably. Hahahaha!" His laughter echoed in the Zichen Hall, as if it would overturn the roof of the palace.

Xiao Xuanchen was almost losing his mind due to the laughter of the Ming King. He slammed the armrest of the dragon throne and shouted angrily: "Lu Ran!"

Lu Ran immediately stepped forward, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please give your orders."

"You must personally lead people to Prince Ming's Palace and kill everyone in the Palace without leaving a single one alive!" Xiao Xuanchen's voice was filled with murderous intent, and his eyes flashed with a cold light.

Lu Ran was not surprised at all, as if he had expected all this. He nodded and said in a deep voice: "I will obey your order and do it immediately. I will take my leave." After that, he turned and walked out of the Purple Palace, leaving Xiao Xuanchen alone sitting on the dragon throne, his face as gloomy as water.
