That night, Xie Guzong tried to contact his former confidants and close ministers, but the replies were all ambiguous, either saying they would not go or trying to persuade them politely. He stood in front of the window, looking at the vast night sky, feeling extremely sad.

"Perhaps, I am the only one left again."

"General, aren't you used to it?" Mother Xie stepped forward and gently held his hand. "At the border, you were attacked from all sides. You were brave and heroic, but you fought alone. But now, we are here."

They held hands and looked at the sky.

In a few hours, they will do something big, something they will do even if no one supports them.

Daybreak.

Several people were dressed solemnly and held swords in their hands. Shi Shuang also hid a lot of hidden weapons. They followed Qi Xuanen into the palace. At this time, all the ministers stopped to look over. They all knew what was going on.

Zhou Kang also got the news and stepped forward to intercept.

"General Xie, what are you doing?"

"I'm worried about the emperor, so I brought my little grandson to see him." Xie Guzong held Qi Xuanen's hand and looked around vigilantly, fearing that Zhou Kang would do something crazy.

Zhou Kang's eyes flashed. It turned out that the little grandson of the emperor was rescued by Xie Guzong.

Could it be that he has someone in the palace? Then the situation of their Zhou family is dangerous. He smiled and said, "Xie General, without the emperor's trick, you can be considered to have broken into the palace."

Hearing this, Xie Guzong drew out his sword and pointed it at him, speaking in a deep voice.

"This general is here to break into the palace! Anyone who tries to stop me will be merciless!"

The guards in the palace immediately drew their swords and rushed forward. They stood behind Zhou Kang, waiting for the order. They thought there would be a fierce battle, but unexpectedly Zhou Kang waved his hand and asked the guards to retreat.

He pressed down Xie Guzong's sword with his hand and said with a smile.

“Having served in the same court for twenty years, I know that the general’s heart is with the emperor and the court. The emperor has appointed me as prime minister, to take charge of government affairs, and no one is allowed to interfere.

However, rumors have always surrounded me, saying that I am a traitor.

Come, come, all the ministers, follow me to the Queen's Palace. Only when you see the Emperor speak in person can you prove that I have no second thoughts! "

Zhou Kang waved his hand and gathered all the officials.

Shi Shuang saw that he was in high spirits and not afraid at all, and she immediately became suspicious. Could there be some conspiracy behind this?

Her eyes flickered.

"Ah, I'm afraid he has planned this."

Xie Wei nodded. "Since the moment we left Xie Mansion, a spy reported to Zhou Kang that he had already made full preparations within this hour. In fact, what we are doing is like hitting a rock with an egg."

Shi Shuang looked at the ministers who were cowering behind him. There were quite a few smart people among them who were hiding and observing.

"But a single spark can start a prairie fire."

She has weapons made in Qingyuan Town hidden in her space. If a fight really breaks out, she will first use reason to persuade, then suppress with force, and finally escalate to theology.

She can enter the space at any time.

You can pretend to be a powerful 'god'.

A group of people marched to Mingfang Palace. Suddenly, a bell rang three times. The emperor's personal eunuch ran out with tears in his eyes and knelt on the ground.

"The Emperor has passed away!"

All the officials were stunned. Then Zhou Kang ran inside with a sad face, shouting, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Please take this old minister with you! How can this old minister prove his innocence?"

He rushed in and saw the queen, dressed in white, kneeling beside the bed. Her eyes were empty and numb. When she raised her eyes, a tear fell. She didn't seem very sad.

Xie Guzong followed him in, and other important officials also went there.

Xie's mother and others stayed outside.

Shi Shuang also went there. She was the only person who saw Emperor Qi for the last time, and she was sure that the emperor looked thin and would not die so soon.

There must be something fishy here.

Qi Xuan'en knelt on the ground, crying in disbelief: "Grandpa Emperor, I am Xuan'en, please open your eyes and look at me, look at me..."

He held Grandpa Huang's cold hand and closed his eyes tightly.

What was he thinking about? His mind was filled with the death of his parents, the earnest teachings of his grandfather in front of the ancestral tablets, and the scene of the destruction of the State of Qi in the future.

Xie Guzong patted his shoulder, as if to say, "Don't cry, man." But what about him? It seems that he can't help it. Is the emperor a tyrant? It seems so, but...

He was also the king of Qi.

When the emperor passed away, it seemed as if the sky of Qi had fallen. It just fell.

The queen looked at the emperor's most beloved grandson. Perhaps because she loved the emperor's grandson, or perhaps she was comforting herself, she put her grandson's hand and spoke to him to comfort him.

"Xuan En, don't be sad. The dead cannot be resurrected."

"Don't touch me!" Qi Xuan'en shook her hand away, his face full of tears and his eyes full of disgust as he shouted, "You killed my parents and my grandfather! I hate you! You are the Demon Queen! Why didn't you die?!"

The queen fell to the ground.

Zhou Kang looked at the ministers kneeling at the door. He seemed to be able to hear them, and his tone was full of reminders, "Grandson, this is the Queen, your grandmother. How can you speak to her like this?"

Qi Xuanen was like a lit firecracker, biting whoever he caught.

Perhaps this was the most arrogant and presumptuous moment in his life. He pushed Zhou Kang away, his face full of anger.

"You, you are a traitor! It was you who imprisoned me and Grandpa Huang.

You want to take over the world of Qi! Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

At the same time, Shi Shuang had been observing the emperor. His face was pale and bloodshot. She guessed that he was suffocated to death.

Zhou Kang ordered: "The emperor's grandson has gone crazy! Call the imperial physician!"

Qi Xuanen struggled, "I'm not crazy! Let me go! I don't want you to touch me!"

Shi Shuang kicked Zhou Kang down with one foot, which was a bit offensive, but how could she be polite to a bad guy? She protected Qi Xuanen behind her, and he seemed to have someone to rely on, tightly holding her sleeves, trembling all over.

She said coldly.

"Master Zhou, didn't you hear? He doesn't want you to touch him!"

Zhou Kang was helped to stand up. He was the prime minister, so naturally he had some dignity. He walked to the door and started to make sarcastic remarks.

"As a woman, why are you here instead of staying in the backyard to take care of your husband and children?

Do you have the final say in the affairs of the court? I never thought that our Qi State would allow a woman to make decisions? My fellow officers, don’t you think this is ridiculous? "

Someone echoed, "How ridiculous! This is our man's world. What are you doing, daughter-in-law of the Xie family? Do you think this is just a game?"

Xie Wei defended, "There are also half women in this world. Without women living in the inner house, how can men fight in the war? Besides, why can't women fight in the battlefield? Lord Feng, please don't take credit for it."

This Lord Feng is Feng Jinshui's uncle.

The Feng family has been officials for generations, but they are all officials who take advantage of the situation. Feng Chen groaned, "If it weren't for us men holding up half the sky, how would they live?"

Shi Shuang felt that her husband was still too gentle.

She wanted to come in person, gently pressed down her husband's hand, took a step forward, and said sarcastically: "Oh~ This is the world of you men, then Qi must be the most powerful country?"
