Chapter 1039 The Emperor's Last Edict
Chen Keyan trailed off.

The entire square returned to deathly silence.

The rebels were armed with weapons and sharp spears in their hands. They did not move their bodies and only turned to look at each other without saying a word.

Snapped!
clap clap!

clap clap clap!
A sudden burst of applause sounded, very clear, and instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.

Everyone looked and saw that the person who slapped the hand turned out to be King Li.

I saw him standing in front of the rebel formation with his head held high, and after slapping his hands, he smiled heartily: "Well done! Well done! You continue, continue to delay time."

After hearing this, Chen Keyan and the ministers, soldiers, concubines, eunuchs, maids, etc. behind her were in a daze, and they did not understand King Li's intention for a while.

King Li continued to speak loudly:
"The entire palace city, every city gate, and every stronghold, the soldiers have all surrendered to me. With them guarding the palace city, it is impregnable..."

"In the palace now, I have 500 people, but you only have more than 100 people. How can you resist? Hahahaha... You can continue to delay time!"

Chen Keyan's face became more solemn.

It turned out that not only the Meridian Gate, but also the guards at the other gates of the palace had switched sides.

What the hell is going on here?

Logically speaking, this should not happen!

The expressions of the rest of the people, such as Jian'er, Bi'er, ministers, concubines, etc., all changed severely. This situation is really troublesome now.

However, the queen looked happy.

She leaned against the gate of Fengtian Hall, feeling excited. She thought she would never be able to turn around again in this life, but her good son gave her a big surprise!

"Prince Li, you are committing rebellion! My father is lying inside, and his body is not yet cold, yet you dare to lead troops into the palace. What is your intention? I think you just want to rebel!"

Chen Keyan scolded loudly.

The ministers behind her also echoed, pointing at King Li, the rebels, and the judges across the way and scolding them.

"Is this king causing rebellion? Is this king rebelling?"

King Li sneered:

"You are the one who really caused trouble and rebelled against me! I came here to honor my father's imperial edict, eradicate the traitors and give me a bright future!"

"Nonsense! Turning right and wrong! The thief shouted "Stop the thief, and now you are the one who led the troops into the palace!" The ministers on Chen Keyan's side fought back loudly.

King Li snorted coldly, took a step forward again, turned his body, faced everyone present, and raised his voice:
"Everyone, you may not know that the Princess of Wu in your eyes, the filial Princess in your eyes, has always had a huge ambition -"

"That is to seek to seize the throne of Nanchen and become the empress!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

The uninformed ministers looked at each other, and they all saw great shock in each other's eyes.

The soldiers were also in an uproar, including the four to five hundred rebels and the one hundred soldiers on Chen Keyan's side. They still raised their guns and did not move their bodies, but their heads turned around and looked around, looking frightened.

At the gate of Fengtian Hall.

The two imperial concubines were stunned for a while, and then their bodies shook violently, their faces looking very ugly——

The first point is Chen Keyan's ambition to seize the throne. They really don't know that Chen Keyan is just a princess. This is too crazy and unacceptable.

Another point is, if Chen Keyan seizes his position, what will King Tian do?They have lived in the palace for a long time and are used to the cruelty in the power field...

On the other side, the queen was stunned for a moment, then turned around, looked at Emperor Chen's body in the middle of the hall, and sneered: "Is this your majesty's beloved daughter? Haha!"

The eunuchs, maids, concubines, etc. hiding behind Emperor Chen's body were even more stunned. Is Princess Wu planning to seize the throne?How can it be?There is no clue about this!

In the square in front of the main hall.

The uproar gradually subsided.

The two armies were still facing each other, but the atmosphere was more solidified, and a chilling atmosphere filled every corner of the palace, making people tremble with fear.

Chen Keyan frowned, she didn't understand, how did the news of this matter leak out?

King Li sneered:
"Isn't it surprising? Are you curious about how the king learned about it? The king said that he came here only to eliminate Chao Gang, and everything he did was justified!"

"Come on, bring the witness!"

As soon as King Li finished speaking, the closed Fengtian Gate suddenly opened, and the door axis turned with a heart-breaking sound, attracting everyone's attention.

Soon, a maid dressed as a palace maid appeared in everyone's sight, crossing the Fengtian Gate and heading straight towards the crowd, followed by two soldiers.

The moment Chen Keyan saw this person, her beautiful eyebrows moved fiercely, her eyes were sharp, and she clenched her silver teeth secretly.

Because she recognized this palace maid, she was the palace maid in her palace. Although her status was not as good as Jian'er, Bi'er and other confidants, she was still considered superior in the palace!
As the saying goes, it's hard to guard against a domestic thief even if you're against all odds. This palace maid was hidden deep enough that Chen Keyan couldn't find her out even after several investigations.

The palace maid faced Chen Keyan's murderous gaze, without any hesitation in her steps, walked to the rebel formation, stood next to King Li, and revealed in public the details of how she discovered that Chen Keyan was planning to seize the throne...

After everyone listened, they exchanged looks with each other.

Silent, with different thoughts.

The key point is that Her Royal Highness the Princess neither refuted nor admitted, so in the eyes of everyone... she acquiesced!
The princess ascends the throne and becomes the emperor?
It's so exciting!
Many people couldn't accept it for a while and chewed the news over and over again, always feeling it was too illusory, like in a dream.

"You may still be curious as to why I, the king, am so powerful that I can enter the palace city with only a few hundred people and approach the Fengtian Palace? Because... I have the late emperor's edict!"

While Wang Li was speaking righteously, he slowly raised his right hand, stretched it to his side, and spread his palm upward.

A minister in court attire hurriedly placed something on King Li's right hand. Everyone could see clearly that it was indeed an imperial edict!
King Li did not squint, always staring at Chen Keyan and the ministers behind him. After taking the late emperor's edict in his right hand, he slowly held it in front of him:
"This is an authentic handwriting written by the late emperor, and it is stamped with a jade seal. You are all veterans of our court, and I believe you all recognize the handwriting of the late emperor!"

With that said, King Li handed over the imperial edict to a soldier.

The soldier held the imperial edict in his hand and ran quickly to the opposite side, showing the text of the imperial edict and the jade seal on it to the ministers behind Chen Keyan.

"This... is really the late emperor's handwriting!" A minister exclaimed.

"There is also this big jade seal. Yes, this is the jade seal!" Another person screamed strangely.

Chen Keyan also walked over and took a look.

Yes, this was indeed the late emperor's handwriting, and the jade seal was indeed genuine... She just couldn't figure out why Prince Li had the late emperor's edict in his hand?

Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed in her heart.

He raised his head suddenly, scanned the roofs of various palaces, and shouted loudly: "Is the commander of the secret guard here? Please show up and see him!"

As soon as Chen Keyan finished speaking, there was a crisp sound of tiles colliding on the roof of Fengtian Hall, which was very obvious in this tense atmosphere.

Everyone followed the sound and saw a man in black leaping down from the roof of the hall. This man in black was so skilled that he was not afraid of such a height, and he landed firmly in the middle of the confrontation between the two armies.

"The Commander-in-Chief of the Secret Guard pays homage to His Royal Highness the Princess, and pays homage to His Royal Highness King Li."

After the man in black landed firmly on the ground, he bowed his hands to Chen Keyan and King Li respectively.

That's right, this is the legendary dark guard commander and the only super master in Nanchen.

"It's really you!"

Chen Keyan took a step forward, with an ugly face and sharp eyes.

She finally figured out why the commander-in-chief had disappeared since yesterday. It turned out that... he was getting together with King Li. This also explained why she didn't receive any news from King Li before he made trouble. reason.

Super masters cannot be treated by ordinary people.

Only people like the Commander-in-Chief can help King Li make a comeback.

"Commander of the Dark Guard, I treat you well on weekdays, why did you betray me?!" Chen Keyan scolded with wide-eyed eyes.

The Commander-in-Chief pulled down his black mask, revealing a resolute face, and cupped his hands to Chen Keyan: "Your Highness, as the Commander-in-Chief of the Secret Guard, my allegiance is always to Your Majesty, and what I do is to respect the Majesty's orders. OK!"

"Then come and kill me!"

Chen Keyan turned sideways slightly.

"Hahaha!" King Li looked up to the sky and laughed heartily, looking at the commander-in-chief: "I'd like to trouble you, commander-in-chief, to take action to clear up the dynasty and give me a bright future."

The ministers and rebels behind King Li all had relaxed expressions. They all knew that the commander was capable of taking the heads of enemy generals among thousands of troops.

Isn't it easy to kill the Princess of Wu?

You can also eliminate all Chen Keyan's forces along the way!
In contrast to Prince Li's wild laughter, at the gate of Fengtian Palace, the two noble concubines supported each other with worried expressions on their faces, silently watching the development of the situation...

"Your Majesty's only explanation to me is to secretly assist King Li to regain control of the army."

The commander-in-chief did not take any action and still stood in the middle of the confrontation between the two armies. He first said the above words to King Li, then turned around and bowed to Chen Keyan:
"Now that I have done it, the mission has been completed. As for other things, such as killing Her Royal Highness, His Majesty did not specifically explain it."

Everyone's expressions changed again.

Especially King Li, his expression instantly darkened.

This commander is a super master. If he doesn't help him, he will definitely help Chen Keyan. This is a big trouble for him!

Chen Keyan turned around again and faced the commander: "Then what do you want?"

The commander-in-chief said loudly: "I just said that as the commander-in-chief of the dark guards, I will only be loyal to His Majesty. Now that the new emperor has not been established, I can naturally do nothing."

After hearing this, Chen Keyan didn't think anything of it.

But King Li was very happy, as long as the commander-in-chief did not interfere in this matter.

However, he was only happy for a few breaths, and the commander continued:

"However, Her Royal Highness the Princess is the deputy commander of my secret guard. Regardless of the factors of identity and status, I am not talented, and I am your direct superior."

"I, the secret guard, have never abandoned my subordinates!"

Prince Li immediately frowned and asked in a deep voice: "What do you mean by these words, Commander-in-Chief? Are you determined to associate with Chen Keyan and other traitors?"

The commander-in-chief turned to face King Li, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, King Li, as a superior, I cannot just watch my subordinates being bullied."

"you……"

King Li frowned, and bursts of golden light erupted from his eyes.

But soon, he smiled coldly: "Okay, very good, fortunately, I have been prepared for you, come in!"

Following Li Wang's order, outside the wide Fengtian Gate, more than [-] ordinary people dressed in strong clothes filed in, and quickly passed through the strong and stubborn soldiers, and surrounded the general.

"It is true that the Grand Commander is a master of the world, but... two fists are always difficult to defeat with four hands. These 30 people are the dead soldiers that my grandfather spent more than ten years and countless money to build."

"They can't compare to your commander-in-chief individually, but they are by no means ordinary people. They have also worked hard to practice the art of combined attack. It will be enough to delay you for a while."

"Go!"

Following King Li's order, more than thirty masters immediately surrounded him.

The commander-in-chief fights with them inextricably...

It didn't take long for them to fight and move the battlefield, and soon they disappeared without a trace.

The huge square in front of the hall fell into deathly silence again. The two armies faced each other, and the atmosphere was tense and ready to explode.

King Li shook the late emperor's edict in his hand, stared at the ministers and soldiers behind Chen Keyan, and shouted loudly:

"The late emperor's edict is here, why don't you quickly give up and surrender to the bright side? If you surrender at this time, I can spare your life and let you make meritorious deeds."

After Chen Keyan's death, some ministers and soldiers were visibly shaken. It was the late emperor's last edict, and it was written in the late emperor's own hand. It could not be faked.

but……

Due to various reasons, although their hearts moved, they did not immediately "abandon the darkness and turn to the light."

King Li smiled again, continued to shake the edict in his hand, and raised his voice: "If you can't come here, how long will it take? Do you really want to make Chen Keyan the empress?"

"This……"

The tempted ministers and soldiers were hesitating when suddenly, a minister ran quickly towards King Li, shouting as he ran:
"I am willing to follow King Li, eradicate the traitors in the court, and restore a bright and prosperous world to our country!"

With a role model, the rest of the tempted people turned their backs one after another, and rushed towards King Li's camp. In an instant, the number of people behind Chen Keyan decreased by one-third.

During this period, Jian'er and Bi'er tried to stop them, but Chen Keyan waved her hand and whispered: "It doesn't matter, everyone has their own ambitions, let them go."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

King Li looked up to the sky and laughed wildly:

"A good bird chooses the right tree to roost in, and those who turn from darkness to light are all smart people. As for you stubborn traitors, I will definitely eradicate you one by one!"

"If you want to surrender by then, it will be too late!"

Chen Keyan glanced at him and ignored him. She turned around and encouraged the remaining people:
"Very good. You can stand by my side in such a critical moment, which shows your loyalty. I guarantee that you will have endless glory and wealth for the rest of your life!"

"Hahahaha..." King Li looked up to the sky and laughed again, mocking: "A dying person, how can he talk about glory and wealth? Haha, wait for the next life!"

Chen Keyan snorted secretly, turned around slowly, faced King Li directly, and smiled confidently: "Do you think you can be unscrupulous with the last emperor's edict in your hand? Sorry, I also have the last emperor's edict in my hand!"
