After the concubine ran away, the cold prince lost control

"If I don't kill him, he will kill me and you." Empress Dowager Lu pointed at her son and cursed, "If it weren't for me, your uncle, and the protection of the Lu family, you little beast would have died long ago."

At this point, Zhao Pan could no longer listen to what Queen Mother Lu said. He looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, then pointed at Queen Mother Lu and said, "For so many years, you and Lu Ji have been using the so-called favors you showed me back then to hold me hostage. But you must not forget that this world belongs to the Zhao family. Do you think you can change the country just because of the little favor you showed me back then?"

He unscrupulously told of his grievances: "Mother, in your heart, you only care about the honor of the Lu family, and you have never considered your son. Do you know how miserable it is for me to be suppressed by Lu Ji and be a puppet emperor?"

Hearing her son's words, Empress Dowager Lu couldn't help but burst into tears again.

She finally slowed down her tone and asked her son, "So what do you want me to do?"

"You have taken the tiger talisman, Pan'er, do you really have to kill your uncle to be satisfied?" Empress Dowager Lu choked up, "He is my biological brother, and we have a deep relationship. He was willing to enter the palace alone even though he knew you had set up a trap in the palace to kill him. My brother is so loyal to me, Pan'er, do you want me to help you kill him?"

Zhao Pan turned his head and said ruthlessly: "There can't be two tigers in one mountain. Either I or him. Either he or I."

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Lu shook her body and slowly closed her eyes: "Then just kill me."

"Kill your mother, then go kill your uncle and all the people in the Lu family. I will see if you can sit on the throne safely after you have wiped out all the people in the Lu family."

Just when Zhao Pan was stunned, Empress Dowager Lu drew the sword from his waist with a "peng" sound, and then put it on her neck.

Zhao Pan was so angry that his eyes almost clenched: "Mother, please don't force me."

Queen Mother Lu gave him a bitter smile and said, "I didn't force you. You forced me, your mother, to exterminate the Lu family. Have you ever thought that I, your mother, am also a member of the Lu family? Since you have made up your mind, I will leave first."

Seeing that his mother was about to commit suicide, Zhao Pan was about to step forward to grab the sword, but in a flash, Empress Dowager Lu, who came from a military family, turned her wrist and placed the sword neatly on Zhao Pan's neck.

Zhao Pan was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "Mother, for Lu Ji, are you going to kill even your own son?"

Empress Dowager Lu burst into tears: "Send the order immediately and ask them to let your uncle leave the palace."

Zhao Pan laughed wildly. After laughing, he looked at his mother and said, "If I let Lu Ji go, will he let me go later?"

"Mother, things have come to this point. Either he dies or I die. There is no turning back." Zhao Pan gritted his teeth and spoke word by word.

The mother and son were in a stalemate here when they heard the sound of swords clashing outside. Lu Ji finally came over with his personal guards.

This place is secret, no one else can find it.

Zhao Pan was surprised, but when he saw Lady Li being escorted in front by Lu Ji, he couldn't help but close his eyes.

"Eldest sister——"

"Brother——"

Lu Ji and Queen Mother Lu called out to each other excitedly almost at the same time.

The moment Lu Ji found Empress Dowager Lu, the guards outside had already received the order to attack the city. At this moment, earth-shaking noises could be heard outside.

Lu Ji's trusted army of 50,000 elite soldiers stationed outside the Meridian Gate have begun to capture the imperial city.

The tide is gone.

Zhao Pan froze in place. After a long while, he opened his eyes, looked at Lady Li lying on the ground, and asked disappointedly, "You said that you would follow me through thick and thin and never betray me."

Lady Li wiped away her tears and choked up, saying, "I have a family too. The Regent threatened me with my family, so I had no choice but to obey."

"Bitch!"

Zhao Pan cursed angrily, then took off the dagger from his waist and stabbed it neatly into the chest of the woman he once loved.

The beautiful lady Li seemed not to have expected Zhao Pan to be so heartless. She didn't even have time to scream before she was dead. Her eyes were wide open, and she kept looking at Zhao Pan until she collapsed to the ground.

After Zhao Pan killed Lady Li, he wiped the blood off the dagger with his dragon robe, then turned and looked at Lu Ji with hatred in his eyes.

"I'm afraid uncle has been waiting for this day for a long time, right?"

Lu Ji remained silent, only looking at Zhao Pan coldly. His face was calm, and almost no emotion could be seen. Only Qin Xiaoning, who knew him best, could sense the disappointment and resentment in this man's heart at the moment.

After all, he is his own nephew.

For those who are at the pinnacle of power, they would not care even if they are father and son. But Lu Ji is different. Although he looks cold on the outside, he actually attaches great importance to the words of friendship in his heart. Otherwise, with his ability, it would be a piece of cake for him to seize power and usurp the throne. If he did not care about his sister and nephew, he would not allow others to put a knife to his neck again and again.

Seeing Lu Ji remained silent, Zhao Pan laughed crazily: "Lu Ji, why are you still standing there? Haven't you finally waited for this opportunity? Come on, kill me, kill the Great Zhou Emperor, and my Zhao family's foundation will belong to you, Lu Ji, and the world will be named Lu. Haha, Lu Ji, why are you still standing there? Kill me, and your Lu family will be satisfied."

At this moment, a dull roar was heard outside. It was the sound of the city gate being breached. The patrol troops outside had already attacked the imperial city.

With this loud bang, the Great Zhou is about to change its dynasty.

The loud noise finally made Zhao Pan stop laughing. He covered his ears, his face showing a very painful expression, as if crying and laughing. Then he squatted on the ground, buried his head deeply in his arms, and burst into tears.

Empress Dowager Lu, who had been tilting her head, finally softened her heart. She walked up to Lu Ji and was about to kneel down, but Lu Ji held her firmly.

"Eldest sister——" he called.

"Brother." Empress Dowager Lu was crying, but she didn't look at Lu Ji. She just choked up and said, "I have one last request from you. Please let Pan Er live."

After overthrowing the Zhao Dynasty, the world belonged to Lu Ji.

Throughout history, whenever dynasties change, the founding monarchs have had to face many difficulties. If they leave a way out for the emperor of the previous dynasty, how can they maintain stability in their country?

Before Lu Ji agreed, several of his confidants raised their objections.

"Zhao Pan has repeatedly plotted against the prince. He was unkind and unjust and didn't tolerate the prince first. The prince should not be merciful."

"Your Majesty, if you are merciful now, it will surely cause trouble in the future."

"Your Majesty, kill Zhao Pan to prevent future troubles."

Several trusted aides around him tried to persuade Lu Ji, but Lu Ji waved his hand and finally made way.

"Let's go." He said to Zhao Pan. (End of this chapter)
