Lu Linzhi's hand holding the sword began to tremble: "You know I can't, but please don't force me."

Fu Guiyun pressed his body closer to the tip of the sword: "Put Chen'er down."

Lu Linzhi immediately took a step back and said coldly: "He is not your own flesh and blood, is it worth it for you to protect him like this?"

"But he is your nephew, the one your father and mother entrusted with the important task before they died."

Fu Guiyun scolded him harshly: "You know that the man has turned his back on his relatives, and you pushed a child to the forefront, just to make the father and son turn against each other, and you also want to sacrifice the people of Liyang City. Is everything you are planning worth it?"

Seeing that the tip of the sword had pierced through his clothes, Lu Qingchen's heart was pounding with fear, and he sobbed and begged, "Fourth Uncle, please don't hurt my mother."

While the two were looking at each other and arguing fiercely, Lu Qingchen bit Lu Linzhi's palm hard and struggled to break free.

"Bastard thing."

Lu Linzhi raised his sword and was about to block his way.

"Stop, don't hurt Chen'er."

Fu Guiyun was frightened and thought he was going to kill the child. He hurriedly pulled out a sword from the soldier next to him and stabbed him in the chest.

"Son."

Qing Su and the members of the Li Ren Gang were stunned on the spot.

Fu Guiyun also stared blankly at the blood oozing from the tip of the sword, and his entire face turned pale in an instant.

Qing Su and the Li Ren Gang were so angry that they were about to rush forward, but Lu Linzhi raised his hand to stop them.

"Back off, don't hurt the queen."

He was stabbed hard by the tip of the sword and choked, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

With a sour look in his eyes, he glanced at Lu Qingchen who had hidden behind Fu Guiyun again, and immediately added, "Don't hurt the eldest prince."

"Son."

Qing Su was so angry that she choked with sobs. Everyone advised, "Master, this is our only chance."

"Go back."

Lu Linzhi shouted angrily, took a small step forward towards the depth of the sword tip, looked at her eagerly, and finally asked: "Are you really determined to go north? Do you regret your decision today?"

Looking at the drops of blood dripping from the sword blade on his chest, Fu Guiyun's heart began to tremble uncontrollably.

If I were just an ordinary citizen, and he wanted to do something wrong, I would just accompany him to the end. The worst that could happen is that I would lose my life.

But she is now the Queen of Daning. The late emperor and the Queen entrusted everything to her and even used their lives to preserve the current stable situation. She cannot watch the two brothers start fighting again and plunge the entire Jiangzuo into chaos.

Besides, she really didn't have any confidence in Lu Linzhi anymore, and everything she did recently seemed like she was venting her anger.

How can the Li Ren Gang withstand the crushing of millions of troops? Once he helps Lu Qingchen to the throne, he will only be criticized. I am afraid that those who sympathized with him before will stand up against him.

What’s more important is that the man from Jiurong City has been waiting for an opportunity, ready to reap the benefits at any time.

Lu Linfeng is no less ferocious and cruel than Lu Linchu. He regards human life as worthless and has no affection in his eyes. He must not be given a chance to succeed.

"I never regret anything I have done. I have done it for the people of Daning, for the ancestors of the Lu family, and for the position I hold."

She drew her sword with determination, and holding back the tears in her eyes, she threw the sword to the ground and said in a cold voice: "Since Prince Zhong has given up, he should honestly abide by his duty and not have any more thoughts."

Tears welled up in Lu Linzhi's eyes as he watched her leave holding the two children without looking back. His body softened and he immediately fell to his knees.

"When did she stop trusting me?"

"Is this king really wrong?"

He felt a sense of frustration he had never felt before.

Why did she become so distrustful of herself, or did she just want to maintain her current wealth and glory?

Even if that man has thousands of troops at his disposal, as long as she is willing, he can still support her as before.

As far as I remember, I had never broken my word on anything I promised her. How could she not trust me just once?

"Son."

Seeing his clothes on his chest and abdomen stained with blood, Qing Su felt a pang of pain in her heart.

"You are willing to risk everything for her, but she doesn't even have the courage to risk everything with you. Why is that, you are so stubborn."

She cried hysterically and kept trying to persuade him.

The gang members also advised: "Young Master, we only need to put the Queen and the eldest prince under house arrest and force Zeng Ye to surrender. Lu Yan will not dare to act rashly. After that, you can establish yourself as the emperor. We, the Liren Gang, will definitely accompany you to fight your way out."

"Go home."

Lu Linzhi stood up tremblingly.

"Son."

Everyone was unwilling to accept this, and they knelt down and begged, "Please think twice, if you miss this opportunity, you will never have another chance to conquer the world."

"I have never been attached to power in my life."

Looking at the direction where the man disappeared, he said silently: "If I make her unhappy, what good will it do even if I gain control of the world?"

From the moment he was carried out of the palace, his world seemed to consist only of being a free and easy rich young man. Until the day he met her, he seemed to have found new interests and gradually regarded protecting her as his mission.

Over the years, I never seemed to have thought about what it would be like to be abandoned and no longer needed by her, and to be disappointed and distrusted by her.

I feel empty inside, and every step I take is like walking on soft clouds, and I can't feel the weight of my footsteps.

The wounds on his chest and arms were torn again, and blood dripped down his arms onto the ground. He was completely unconscious.

"Go back home, go back home. Since you have given up, you should be honest and do your duty. You should not have any other thoughts."

She kept repeating what she had just said, and staggered forward a few steps with lifeless eyes. She felt as if her whole body had been drained of energy and she had lost all strength.

The color in front of my eyes became extremely dark, and I vaguely seemed to see my father and mother standing in front of me with smiles in their eyes.

They sacrificed their lives to bring peace to Jiangzuo, how could I destroy it in an instant?

Heart-wrenching pain attacked from all over his body. He pursed the corners of his cracked lips and tried hard to see the world in front of him clearly. However, the harder he tried, the blurrier his surroundings became. Turbid calls came from all directions.

"Son."

Seeing him fall backwards, Qing Su quickly stepped forward to catch him, and ordered people to carry him out of the palace.

Ye An and his warriors watched the hasty figures walk away before they dared to walk into the palace. Seeing the bloodstains all over the ground, his face tensed and he hurriedly asked Cheng Kui, "Is the queen okay?"

Cheng Kui snorted coldly: "Why do you ask this question when you already know the answer? Since you dared to let His Highness in, you should know the result."

He sighed with a sad look on his face and said, "How could His Highness be willing to hurt the Queen? He has always been the one to be hurt in front of the Queen."
