The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

There were whispers just now, but after the Empress Dowager finished speaking, the square of the Hall of Supreme Harmony was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Chen Zhengde stood up and explained, "Your Majesty, could there be any misunderstanding here..." He bowed slightly and saluted, his attitude quite respectful, "Can you please let Concubine Zhen go first? After all, she is pregnant with the heir to the throne."

Zhao Yu, who was sitting at the top, didn't say anything, as if everything that happened had nothing to do with him.

Concubine Shu smiled and said, "Lord Chen said there was a misunderstanding?" She raised her eyebrows and shifted her gaze from Chen Zhengde to Master Mingjue Yuanshi.

"When Master Mingjue pushed aside the dwarf holly, the guard's belt was still hanging on his thigh. And our Concubine Zhen, her bulging belly under her red bellyband was so white that it was blinding..."

She looked at Chen Zhengde and asked him with a smile, "Master Chen, tell me, what is the misunderstanding here? Do we need a Jinwu Guard and Concubine Zhen to take off their clothes and hide behind the dwarf holly?"

The quiet court officials and the ladies around them were stunned after hearing what Concubine Shu said.

As Concubine Shu calmly narrated the story and looked at the two ragged men kneeling on the bluestone slabs, what they had just done came to mind vividly.

Many ladies and wives of officials felt embarrassed and turned their heads away, unwilling to look at the two filthy men. Some even began to cover their mouths and noses.

At this moment, there seemed to be a sound coming from the sky, and everyone couldn't help but look up.

Above the deep blue sky, flowers that looked like blooming silver chrysanthemums suddenly appeared, and the darkness was illuminated by the radiant light.

After the brilliance, it is like stars blooming, colorfully dyeing the night sky, and then gradually falling and disappearing.

It is a fireworks show to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The faces of the people in the square also became colorful and dreamy.

Chen Zhengde looked up. If nothing unexpected happened, the 20,000-strong army should have already entered the city.

He retracted his gaze and looked at Concubine Shu coldly: "Concubine Shu used the Empress Dowager's decree to bring Master Mingjue back to the capital just to frame the Chen family. Did you see the scene of brothers killing each other?"

Jiang Nansheng stood up and asked, "Master Chen, with what identity are you questioning Concubine Shu? Shouldn't we solve their problems now?"

After saying that, he glanced at the two people who were kneeling on the ground and trembling.

At this time, the Jinyiwei tied up all the palace maids around Zhenfei, including Lu Shan and Jiawen.

Xu Hui bowed, "Just now, I found these two people of suspicious identities near the place where Concubine Zhen was having an affair."

Chen Zhengde knew that this was Qin Lang's confidant, but he ignored it and did not see Qin Lang all night.

He looked at Jiang Nansheng and smiled: "Everyone says that the Dali Temple Minister is very strategic... Why, Jiang Nansheng, you only know how to bribe the people around Zhenfei to achieve your goal of eliminating dissidents?"

"Master Chen, although we have never worked together and we don't know each other very well." Jiang Nansheng said slowly: "And you are still the same as before, and you can never face up to your own failure."

Chen Zhengde smiled up at the sky, "Failure? Jiang Nansheng, you might as well look up!"

Jiang Nansheng did not move, and the ministers and their wives in the square all raised their heads.

Under the bright light of the fireworks show, dark shadows flashed on the walls of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The arrows in their hands glowed with a cold light, making people feel as if they had entered winter in an instant, chilling to the bone.

Jiang Nansheng looked at Chen Zhengde and asked him slowly and firmly, "Master Chen, are you trying to force the emperor to revolt?"

"Didn't Emperor Taizu also seize the throne from others? Since the world is naturally ruled by those with ability."

Chen Zhengde looked up at Zhao Yu and said, "Since you have half of the Chen family's blood in you, if you hand over the jade seal, I can spare your life."

He raised his hand, and the armored Jinwu Guards surrounded the ministers and their families.

No one expected that the palace coup that happened more than a year ago would happen again.

Obviously, Chen Zhengde at this time was more oppressive than the second prince at that time.

Chen Zhengde looked at the open door of the Hall of Supreme Harmony facing him.

The dragon throne stretched to the farthest and highest point. He had dreamed countless times of sitting on it and receiving the worship of all the civil and military officials in the court.

"Has the Jiang family never thought about this?" Chen Zhengde smiled but his eyes were not fully focused. "Should I say that you Jiang family members are cowardly or foolishly loyal?"

"Bullshit, you're even more stupid than your father!" The Duke shouted, ignoring the guards standing in front of him with weapons.

The armored Jinwu Guard made eye contact with the Duke, swallowed, and took two steps back.

He couldn't help but look at the Duke's wife. Since she had chosen her side, whether she could succeed depended on this move.

"How dare you! How can you talk to the new emperor like that!" He rushed forward with a knife in hand, intending to use the Duke's wife to intimidate these people.

This is also what Jin Yang told them, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back.

His raised hand froze in the air, and the face of the Duke's wife was just a few inches away from him.

He let out a few hoarse sounds, and cold wind kept rushing into his body from his throat. The moment he lowered his head, he saw an arrow as thick as a finger, and the sharpest tip of the arrow was still stained with his already cold blood.

He fell to the ground with a dull sound and died with his eyes open.

Some of the female members of the family had already started to cry, covering their mouths.

Chen Zhengde narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze fell on Gu Jinchu. She did not hide it either, raised her hand to adjust her sleeves, stood beside Jiang Nansheng, and looked at him without any expression on her face.

"So that's how it is." Chen Zhengde nodded, "It seems that I underestimated the enemy and underestimated Mrs. Jiang Wu that time."

"So one wrong step leads to all wrong steps... Considering Lord Chen's ability, it is also common sense and excusable." Gu Jinchu said casually.

She looked as if she didn't take the archers on the palace wall seriously at all, as if the killing was just as relaxing and leisurely as drinking tea.

Chen Zhengde sneered, "So Lord Jiang likes this kind of unruly, sharp-tongued woman. That's good, you two will not be lonely today if you have a companion on the road."

Jin Yang looked at the corpses of his subordinates and shouted, "Master Chen San, why are you still wasting time talking to them!"

Chen Zhengde nodded and said with a smile: "We have to make sure they die with a clear conscience."

He wanted to see Jiang Nansheng crawling at his feet and begging for mercy.

If he was happy, maybe he could even give Jiang Nansheng an intact body.

Jiang Nansheng's face was calm and his voice was gentle, "Master Chen just asked me to look up. What do you want me to see?"

Chen Zhengde's heart suddenly started to alarm, and he couldn't help but raise his head.

Most of the densely packed archers disappeared at some point, and right in front of him, black figures were still falling from the wall.

The man who had been standing at the palace gate did not move at all, with the arrow in his hand pointing in their direction.

call out--

There was a sound of breaking air, and the commander of the Jinwu Guard was hit by an arrow in the chest.

Until his death, he couldn't believe what he saw.

The commander was dead, and the other Jinwu guards looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from not far away, and it sounded like there were quite a few of them.

Chen Zhengde looked at Jiang Nansheng and said with a smile: "We have to thank our emperor, otherwise there would be no chance to gather all the ministers and their families together."

There are some that slip through the net, but they are all those that have little chance of making it big.

All the masters and wives of the Jiang family are present.

Guo Chen brought his wife and even his grandson.

The only person who has military power and can accomplish things is Zheng Wenyang, the Minister of War. As long as he dies, the Zheng family will have no backbone and will find it difficult to achieve success.

Chen Zhengde raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Nansheng: "This time, you lose."

Soldiers wearing Wenshan armor and bearing the Chen family's insignia rode in from the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

It was unclear how many people were behind him, but it seemed as if there were thousands of troops, surrounding the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony in the blink of an eye.

Chen Zhengde felt that the man looked too young, and before he could take a closer look, he saw him jump off his horse.

He was carrying a bag steadily on his back. It didn't look like it had any weight and swayed slightly with his steps.

The bundle in his hand left a dark red mark on the ground as he walked.

He walked past Chen Zhengde and knelt in front of Zhao Yu, two steps away from the dragon table. "I am lucky to have fulfilled your mission. This is evidence of the Chen family's rebellion."

As he said this he opened the two piles of things on the ground.

A black gauze winged crown was placed on the bright yellow dragon robe.

The other one was the head of General Chen Hang, who was supposed to be stationed in Ningyuan City and had a look of disbelief on his face.
