Chapter 480 Rebellion
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.

Zhao Pan raised his head and looked at Lu Ji with some disbelief.

Would Lu Ji let him go so easily?
At this moment, Zhao Pan no longer cared about seizing power, becoming an emperor, or the Zhao family's century-old foundation.

When you are dying, life is the most important thing.

Although he couldn't believe that Lu Ji would really let him go, driven by his strong instinct to survive, he still felt a sense of joy at having escaped from a desperate situation.

"Uncle——" he called out and wanted to get up, but perhaps because he was too frightened, he couldn't move.

Lu Ji stepped forward and raised his hand to hold him up. At that moment, he remembered that his uncle had helped him to ascend the throne from the fear of near death when he was surrounded by wolves.

He was still very young at that time, and he thought that he and his uncle would support each other forever, but he didn't know when everything changed.

Even he himself didn't know when he began to hate him and wanted to kill him.

"Uncle--" Zhao Pan called again, with a crying voice.

This time, Lu Ji spoke up. He said, "Men don't shed tears easily."

Hearing this, Zhao Pan cried even more sadly, sobbing like a child.

Lu Ji helped him up and said, "Go ahead. I'll have someone take you out of the secret passage. Someone will take care of everything for you. From now on, in addition to power, you will still have wealth and splendor."

He was going to send him away quietly.

Zhao Pan nodded.

He didn't expect there would be such a bright future. He bent down to kneel down to worship Lu Ji, but the man had already turned away.

Only a tall and cold back was left to him.

Someone from Lu Ji came to ask Zhao Pan to leave. Zhao Pan hesitated, then turned and left. When he reached the door, Empress Dowager Lu, who had remained silent, called out to him, "Pan'er—"

Zhao Pan stopped but did not turn around.

"Pan'er, the royal family is dangerous. Mother has always regretted that I should not have entered the palace, and I should not have let you live in this dangerous place. Now that you are free, from now on, you should forget everything here and live a good life in the place arranged for you by your uncle."

Empress Dowager Lu gave these instructions to her son with tears in her eyes. After hearing this, Zhao Pan still did not look back, but strode away with the guards.

Only when she saw her son's back completely disappear from her sight did Empress Dowager Lu withdraw her earnest gaze and fall on Lu Ji's shoulder and cry.

At this moment, it was noon and the sun was shining brightly outside. The bright sunlight shone on the endless green bricks and brown tiles of the inner palace, reflecting a golden glow.

This is the most luxurious place in the world and the pinnacle of power.

Zhao Pan looked at all this as if it were all a dream.

Now, he has woken up from the dream and found himself a loser.

In the outer palace, there was constant sound of fighting. In less than half an hour, Lu Ji's men would completely occupy the imperial city.

This country will eventually change dynasties.

Zhao Pan couldn't tell what he felt. He took heavy steps and followed the guards to the entrance of the secret passage. This was a remote place. Even though he was born in the imperial city, he had never set foot in this desolate area.

There were broken tiles, ruins and weeds everywhere around, and the road was almost invisible.

The guard took him through a dilapidated palace and came to a dry well. The guard turned the mechanism and the well slowly moved. Then, a dark secret passage appeared before their eyes.

The guard said to Zhao Pan, "This is the secret passage out of the palace. I will take you out from here. Once you are out of this secret passage, you will be in the suburbs of the capital, where someone will pick you up."

Zhao Pan nodded dumbly and followed the guard into the secret passage. After they walked a few feet, the narrow passage became wider. Then, a slightly frightened voice came from the passage: "Who is it?"

The voice is familiar.

Zhao Pan took a closer look with the help of the torch and found that it was Lu Xianer.

The other party also saw who was coming. Lu Xian'er was stunned at first, but then she understood. She just turned her head and said coldly: "Have a safe journey."

Zhao Pan suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart. He walked up to Lu Xian'er and said contemptuously, "Did the Queen Mother hide you here?"

Seeing that Lu Xian'er didn't answer, Zhao Pan smiled coldly: "Oh! The old lady really loves you. Since she has sent you to the secret passage, why don't you run out of here and go back to the Lu family? What? At this time, you are still reluctant to give up the throne of Queen?"

The couple had long since become strangers. In the past, Lu Xian'er was still afraid of his status as an emperor, and even when she was bullied by him, she silently endured it. Now, she saw that Zhao Pan was like a lost dog, but he still humiliated her with words. Lu Xian'er was not a soft persimmon, and immediately turned around and retorted to Zhao Pan: "Zhao Pan, you are a ridiculous clown."

Zhao Pan was used to bullying Lu Xian'er. When he saw her coming to scold him, he raised his hand to slap her in anger, but the guard beside Lu Xian'er grabbed his wrist.

Zhao Pan pulled his hand back and said to Lu Xian'er angrily, "I have disliked you since I married you. I let you be my queen for so many years. You are really lucky."

Zhao Pan's words made Lu Xian'er recall all the humiliations she had suffered from him since they got married.

On their wedding night, he was rude to her. As an emperor, his private affairs in bed were so despicable. At that time, she was still a little girl, completely ignorant of the world. She dared not tell anyone when she was wronged, and could only keep it in her heart. Since then, this man has become more and more outrageous. He would either ignore her for no reason or not step into her bedroom for half a year. If he came to spend the night with her, he would definitely treat her rudely.

He even beat her for the woman he loved.

After entering the palace for so many years, this emperor husband has never shown her any care and love except humiliating and bullying her.

How could Lu Xian'er not hate him?

"Zhao Pan, you are a clown, a despicable villain, and a complete loser. You have no ability at all. When you are bullied by my uncle and the powerful officials, you only know how to use some insidious tricks behind their backs, or you vent your anger on me and my aunt, taking it out on us two weak women. Zhao Pan, you are simply a loser. How can someone like you be worthy of being an emperor? The throne should have belonged to my uncle. Compared with him, you are simply a world apart. It is a shame for the world for you to be an emperor. Only someone like my uncle can be a wise ruler."

In order to vent her resentment, Lu Xianer cursed loudly in one breath.

Zhao Pan was so angry that his eyes widened. Seeing that Lu Xian'er refused to give up and even scolded her more and more fiercely, Zhao Pan felt a surge of heat at himself, so he pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed directly at Lu Xian'er.

The ramp was already narrow, and his action was sudden. The guards beside Lu Xian'er had no time to react. Seeing that the sharp dagger was about to hurt Lu Xian'er, the maid beside Lu Xian'er stepped forward and blocked the knife for her master.

Immediately, a smell of blood spread in the dark and narrow tunnel.

Seeing that he failed to stab Lu Xian'er, Zhao Pan immediately pulled out the dagger and stabbed Lu Xian'er again. This time, the guards were well prepared and they subdued Zhao Pan in no time.

Lu Xian'er saw the personal maid who she grew up with fall down with a pale face. She desperately called her name, but there was no response from her.

This hateful man insulted her for so many years and killed her maid who was like a sister to her.

Lu Xian'er completely lost her mind. She pulled out the hairpin on her head and stabbed Zhao Pan like a madman.

Zhao Pan was held down by the guards, and he had no power to resist. Lu Xian'er stabbed him frantically, again and again. The man on the ground was completely dead, but she was still unsatisfied. Even after several guards forcibly pulled her away, she was still shouting frantically: "I will kill you, kill you."
