My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"Little White, is His Majesty really coming?!"

Inside the prison, Jiang Jingcheng looked at Jiang Xiaobai with an expression that still held disbelief.

That's right, let the emperor himself come to the prison and pardon them.

This... doesn't seem very realistic at all.

Unless His Majesty truly has no regard for his reputation, he would never come to this prison!

Don't worry!

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Jiang Jingcheng and said with a smile, "His Majesty will definitely come!"

At this point, Jiang Xiaobai paused slightly: "And, the attitude has to be very good!"

"Yeah?"

Jiang Jingcheng looked surprised after hearing this.

He didn't know where his son got such confidence from.

Just as Jiang Jingcheng was about to press for more information, a shrill voice suddenly rang out from outside: "His Majesty has arrived!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the prison guards inside the outer jail all changed their expressions and knelt down on the ground.

Ok?

His Majesty really came?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingcheng's expression changed immediately. He quickly stood up and straightened his clothes.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled slightly and slowly stood up.

Soon, footsteps sounded, and Xiao Jinxuan walked in from outside the corridor with a sullen face, while Eunuch Gao followed beside him with his head down.

"Your Majesty, I, Jiang Jingcheng, greet you!"

Upon seeing Xiao Jinxuan, Jiang Jingcheng immediately bowed respectfully.

"Your Majesty, I, Jiang Xiaobai, greet you!"

Jiang Xiaobai then spoke up.

"Alright, forget it!!"

Xiao Jinxuan waved his hand, looking at the two of them with a rather unpleasant expression.

As the emperor of the Great Hua Dynasty, he had to personally go to the prison to ask two of his ministers to leave.

If this gets out, how will he save face as the emperor!

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan didn't waste any more words at this moment. He glanced at the two of them and said, "I sent Eunuch Gao here earlier to summon you to the main hall, but you didn't believe me!"

"Now that I've come in person, you should believe me, right?"

"Of course I believe it!"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded gently.

"Hmph, then why aren't you leaving?"

Xiao Jinxuan gave a heavy snort and was about to leave.

"His Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai immediately stopped Xiao Jinxuan and said, "When you locked us up, you said we were colluding with the enemy, Beiyu!"

"Now that you're letting us out, I wonder... if our grievances have been cleared?"

"nature!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan coldly snorted, "Jiang Jingxuan has already rebelled, and he himself has admitted that those secret letters were forged by someone he commissioned!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingcheng's eyes widened instantly, and he said angrily, "That bastard Jiang Jingxuan has actually rebelled?"

He knew Jiang Jingxuan had returned with ill intentions, but he never expected that this bastard would start a rebellion as soon as he took over the Marquis's mansion!

This is a huge stain on the reputation of the Jiang family!

Seeing Jiang Jingcheng's shocked and angry expression, Xiao Jinxuan's expression softened slightly.

Yes, judging from Jiang Jingcheng's behavior, he was probably completely unaware of everything.

So, the culprit is Jiang Xiaobai!

Thinking of this, Xiao Jinxuan gave Jiang Xiaobai a deep look and said, "Right now, 30,000 soldiers have surrounded my palace!"

"Therefore, I urge Marquis Jiang to go up there as soon as possible and resolve this matter!"

"minister……"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingcheng's expression changed. He was about to nod in agreement when Jiang Xiaobai raised her hand and stopped him, saying, "Father, don't rush!"

Ok?

Jiang Jingcheng looked at Jiang Xiaobai with a puzzled expression.

With 30,000 soldiers surrounding the palace, aren't you worried?

Upon hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words, Xiao Jinxuan suppressed his anger and glared at Jiang Xiaobai: "Jiang Xiaobai, what else do you have to say!"

"Your Majesty, I believe it's best to clarify this matter first!"

Jiang Xiaobai sensed Xiao Jinxuan's anger, but he didn't care and still said, "Today, the Zhenbei Marquis's residence was imprisoned because of several forged secret letters treasonous with the enemy!"

"What about tomorrow? Are we going to have to come in again, just some random Tom, Dick, or Harry, with something on their plate?"

"So what do you want!"

Xiao Jinxuan took a deep breath.

He knew that this visit was definitely not just a simple matter of asking him to leave.

This Jiang Xiaobai comes with conditions!

"hehe!"

Jiang Xiaobai chuckled softly: "Your Majesty, what you're saying isn't that I want to do something, but that Your Majesty should consider what the proper course of action is!"

"After all, my father sent out to quell the rebellion on his own brother's behalf; that was a matter of putting righteousness before family!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the prison fell silent.

Grandpa Gao stood to the side, head bowed, not daring to utter a single word.

Jiang Jingcheng stared at his son in shock.

Indeed, Jiang Xiaobai's words carried a hint of threat.

Under normal circumstances, this would absolutely be considered a crime of deceiving the emperor!

Xiao Jinxuan stared at Jiang Xiaobai for a long time, then finally let out a heavy snort: "If Marquis Jiang can quell this rebellion, it will naturally be a great achievement!"

"I……"

At this point, Xiao Jinxuan took a deep breath and said, "I will elevate the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion. Now... I wonder if you are satisfied!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is wise!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards Xiao Jinxuan.

Duke Zhenguo.

That's quite a prestigious title.

Because this title is not only for those in the imperial court, but also for all the people of Great China.

With such a prestigious title, anyone wanting to control the Jiang family would have to overcome more than just the hurdle of the imperial court.

At the very least, it has to be convincing to the public!

Most importantly, Jiang Jingxuan is rebelling under the guise of the Jiang family, and this is not a good thing if it gets out!

But with the title of Duke of Zhenguo, there's no need for explanation; everyone knows that this is putting righteousness before family!

"Hmph, let's get out of here!"

Seeing Jiang Xiaobai's smug look, Xiao Jinxuan was furious. He snorted again and turned to walk outside.

After seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai also went outside.

But after taking a couple of steps, Jiang Xiaobai noticed something and looked at Jiang Jingcheng, who was still standing in the cell in a daze: "Come on, Father!"

"what?"

Jiang Jingcheng then came to his senses and quickly followed.

However, at this moment, his mind was still a little dazed.

No way... he's become the Duke of Zhenguo already?!

Still dazed, the two followed Xiao Jinxuan and soon arrived at the imperial court.

As soon as they stepped into the main hall, the two saw the court officials and a large number of soldiers from the Marquis's mansion dressed in black armor.

In the center of the main hall, Jiang Jingxuan stood with a long sword at his neck, and the sword was held by a woman wearing a bamboo hat!

"this……"

Jiang Jingcheng stared at the scene before him, completely stunned once again.

What exactly is going on?

Before he could react, Jiang Jingxuan's angry voice rang out: "Jiang Jingcheng, you really are my good second brother!"

As he spoke, Jiang Jingxuan gritted his teeth, his face filled with anger: "It's only been over ten years, but I didn't expect... you've become so adept at playing games!"

"Um?"

Jiang Jingcheng frowned upon hearing this.

What was he playing?

Seeing Jiang Jingcheng's bewildered expression, Jiang Jingxuan's anger flared even more: "I forged a secret letter accusing you of treason!"

"So you're trying to trick me into rebellion, aren't you?!"

Jiang Jingxuan grew increasingly angry: "Jiang Jingcheng, is this the loyalty and heroism you keep talking about?"

"In my opinion, you...you're nothing but a despicable person!"

That's right, he admitted to rebelling, after all, he couldn't resist the temptation of being crowned emperor.

But when he got to the imperial court, he realized that he was a complete fool.

Damn it, when the 30,000 soldiers arrived, their shouts were deafening, making his blood boil.

The journey was so smooth that he laughed like a pig.

When they got to the main hall, the 30,000 soldiers all became unruly and just stood there yelling!

How could he not be furious?!
