The cold palace was in ruins. The queen sat on the cold floor with dishevelled hair, staring blankly ahead. She was completely desperate, and she knew that her life was over.

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps. The queen raised her head sharply and saw the prince running towards her.

"Prince! My son!" the queen cried and rushed over.

The prince hugged the queen and said distressedly: "Mother, you have suffered! I will definitely rescue you!"

The queen cried even more sadly. She hugged the prince tightly, as if she had grasped the last straw.

"Prince, the Emperor...he wronged me! I didn't do those things!"

"Mother, I know, and I believe you!" The prince consoled her, "I will definitely find out the truth and clear your name!"

The queen raised her head and looked at the prince, a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

"Prince, you must save mother! You are the only one left for mother!"

The prince nodded firmly and said, "Don't worry, mother, I will definitely rescue you!"

He helped the queen sit down, and then began to ask in detail what had happened.

The Queen told the Crown Prince the whole story. Of course, she concealed the fact that she had designed to frame Concubine Li.

After hearing this, the prince became furious.

"My father is so foolish! He actually believed the slander and wrongly accused my mother!"

He clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger.

"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you!"

The queen looked at the prince with eyes full of relief.

"Prince, your mother believes in you!"

At the same time, outside the cold palace, the secret guards sent by Chu Ze reported to Chu Ze every move of the prince and the queen.

After listening to this, Chu Ze sneered.

"My prince, you are so stupid! Do you think I will let you turn the tables so easily?"

He stood up, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

"Li Desheng, pass on my order to execute the crown prince and the queen together!"

"Yes, sir!" Li Desheng responded quickly.

He knew in his heart that the prince and the queen were really finished this time.

……

In the East Palace, the Crown Prince was discussing countermeasures with the Queen. Suddenly, a group of imperial guards rushed in and surrounded the Crown Prince and the Queen.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Majesty the Queen, the Emperor has ordered that you two move to the main hall." The leader of the imperial guards said in a deep voice.

The prince's heart sank, he knew that the secret had been exposed.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"Mother, let's go."

The queen also realized the seriousness of the matter. She held the prince's hand tightly and could not utter a word.

The two followed the imperial guards to the main hall. Chu Zegao sat on the dragon throne, looking at them with cold eyes.

"Prince, Queen, do you admit your guilt?"

The prince raised his head, looked directly at Chu Ze, and said, "What crime have I committed?"

"What crime have you committed?" Chu Ze sneered, "You colluded with the queen and plotted rebellion. Your crime is extremely heinous!"

"Father, I am innocent!" the prince said hastily, "I have never thought of treason, I just wanted to save my mother!"

"Save my mother?" Chu Ze sneered, "The queen has committed such a heinous crime, and you still want to save her? You are committing treason!"

"Father, my mother is innocent!" the prince cried, "I can prove it!"

"Proof?" Chu Ze sneered, "What proof do you have? Just your one-sided statement?"

He stood up, walked in front of the prince, and looked down at him.

"Prince, I am so disappointed in you! I thought you were a smart kid, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid!" He slapped the prince in the face. The prince staggered and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Father..." The prince covered his face and looked at Chu Ze in disbelief.

"Someone, come and drag the prince and the queen out and behead them!" Chu Ze roared.

The imperial guards immediately stepped forward and dragged the prince and the queen away.

"Father! I am innocent! Father..." The prince's cries echoed in the hall, but could not change his fate.

Chu Ze stood in the center of the hall, watching the prince and the queen being dragged away, without a trace of pity in his eyes.

"No one is allowed to interfere with my kingdom!" he whispered to himself.

……

Just as the prince and the queen were being dragged out to be beheaded, a man in black suddenly appeared in the palace.

His movements were strange and extremely fast, and he arrived in front of Chu Ze in the blink of an eye.

"Chu Ze, your death has come!" the man in black said coldly, and a sharp dagger appeared in his hand.

Chu Ze was shocked when he saw the mysterious man in black who suddenly appeared.

Before the man in black finished speaking, Chu Ze moved.

He flashed and instantly appeared behind the man in black, slapping him on the back with his palm.

The man in black obviously did not expect Chu Ze to be so fast. He turned around hastily and raised his dagger to block.

"clang!"

With a crisp sound, the dagger broke, and Chu Ze's palm force continued to hit the black-clothed man's chest heavily.

The man in black screamed, flew out, fell heavily to the ground, and spit out blood.

"With just this little ability, you dare to assassinate me?" Chu Ze sneered and walked towards the man in black step by step.

The man in black struggled to stand up, but found that he could not move at all. Chu Ze's palm had already severed his heart meridian.

"You... who are you?" the man in black asked with difficulty.

"I? I am the true dragon emperor, the ruler of all ages!" Chu Ze said proudly.

"The true Son of Heaven? Haha..." The man in black laughed miserably, "Do you really think you are the true Son of Heaven? You are nothing but a traitor who stole the throne!"

"How dare you!" Chu Ze was furious and stepped on the black-clothed man's chest. "How dare you slander me?"

"Slander? Haha..." The man in black laughed miserably again, "Do you think no one knows what you did? You killed your brother and father, and usurped the throne. You are an unforgivable sinner!"

Chu Ze's face changed and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

"You...you're talking nonsense!"

"I didn't!" Chu Ze roared and crushed the black-clothed man's sternum with one foot.

The man in black screamed and died.

Chu Ze took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He looked around and found that the surrounding imperial guards were looking at him with strange eyes.

His heart sank, knowing that his actions just now had aroused the suspicion of the imperial guards.

He must leave here as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, he flashed and disappeared on the spot.

……

After leaving the palace, Chu Ze did not return to his own bedroom, but came to a hidden cave.

This cave was the refuge he prepared for himself, and it contained a large number of treasures and cultivation resources.

He walked into the cave, sat cross-legged and began to practice.

He must improve his strength as quickly as possible. Only in this way can he keep his throne and avoid being killed by those who want to murder him.
