Verification
In the silence, the chariot in the distance had stopped.

On the long palace road, the chariot was parked a bit far away, and there was a small door next to the chariot.

Cheng Muqing's left and right eyelids couldn't help but twitch, and she couldn't help complaining in her heart, "Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

The chariot stopped there quietly, and the man's calm and mature voice came from inside.

"Lin Heng, you have already killed a brother, do you want to kill your father again?"

"You are not my father." Lin Heng said with a pinched neck.

"I know that you have been resenting me. You blamed your father for sending you to Qi State as a hostage when you were very young. When you returned to Jin State, you were not treated kindly to you for a single day, and you didn't even pay attention to you anymore. You. It’s normal for you to have complaints against me. But Lin Heng, after all, I am your father!"

Is he morally suppressing Lin Heng?Cheng Muqing clearly felt the pressure, so she said, "As long as you, Father, show up, we will naturally surrender."

There was silence from that side, and finally there was a sigh.

Immediately afterwards, the curtains were opened layer by layer.

A tall, tall, fair and handsome face appeared in front of everyone.

His facial features are very similar to Lin Heng and Lin Yan.Cheng Muqing's heart skipped a beat and he looked back and forth, finally accepting the fact that "Emperor Jin Ming" was Emperor Jin Ming.

"You are not my father." Lin Heng said coldly.

"Ha~ My good son, do you think your statement can convince the public?" Emperor Jin Ming sneered.

"Ha! Lin Heng, don't make any more desperate struggles!" The commander of the Forbidden Army understood immediately, "Now that His Majesty has proven himself, what are you still arguing about?!"

"Disguise!" Cheng Muqing almost blurted out, "Yang Shurui once disguised himself as the businessman Lu Xiu. How can we be sure that Emperor Jin Ming is not in disguise? Besides, my father's appearance has changed over the years, so how can you be sure that he is indeed the late emperor?"

"It's all sophistry. Look, isn't this our Majesty?!" The commander of the imperial army pointed his sword at Lin Heng and Cheng Muqing, "Follow me to take down these rebellious officials and thieves! If you make military exploits, you will live forever." Let’s have one!”

The morale of the army was stabilized, and the commander of the forbidden army immediately rushed over like an arrow, raising his spear high to block the killing god.

"Aheng." Cheng Muqing turned to look at Lin Heng.

"Believe me." Lin Heng's expression was complicated, "He really isn't..."

"Okay!" Cheng Muqing nodded, turned around and shouted, "Stop them! The late emperor is dead, and that person is fake!"

After attracting firepower, while the two sides were fighting, Cheng Muqing silently withdrew from the battlefield while paying attention to the "Emperor Jin Ming".

……

A group of forbidden soldiers walked in neat steps along the palace road, their armors clashing with each other, making a clanging sound.

East Palace.

Empress Dowager Lu's face turned pale, and she was upset as she listened to the sound of footsteps outside the palace.

"It's impossible for this group of forbidden troops to act without reason." She pinched the tea cup in her hand, her face becoming more and more gloomy.

"Bang bang——" A brief knocking sound came from the wooden window.

The room became eerily quiet.

Tao Yushan subconsciously stood up and walked there.

"Mr. Tao." Queen Mother Lu looked at her.

"Queen Mother." Tao Yushan stopped and faced her.

"Take Wangshu away." Queen Mother Lu looked up at her.

Tao Yushan was stunned.

Before she could react, Queen Mother Lu had already stood up and opened the window.

Behind the window, a delicate face appeared.

Li Lan, who was fair-faced, beardless and quite handsome, bowed slightly when he saw her.

"Your Majesty is back." He said calmly.

"It's fighting."

Li Lan nodded.

"I know you have a way to take her and the princess away." Empress Dowager Lu pointed to Tao Yushan behind her. "Yes." Li Lan responded.

"Let's go." Queen Mother Lu handed the little princess, who was sitting and playing on the ground, into Tao Yushan's hands and pushed her to the window.

"Mother, you will also come with me..."

"Let's go." Queen Mother Lu looked at her seriously.

Tao Yushan pursed her lips and finally did not force herself any further.She lifted up her skirt, stepped on the window coffin, and jumped out.

After she left, Queen Mother Lu quickly closed the window again.

Her hands were still on the window, and her empty eyes had lost their original color.

After an unknown amount of time, the gate of the East Palace was kicked open, and about ten guards rushed into the hall.

"Presumptuous!" Queen Mother Lu came back to her senses, her expression suddenly turned sharp, "Who gave you the power?"

"Of course it is Your Majesty." The leading guard snorted coldly. He glanced at him and said, "Where are Princess Wenxiao and the little princess?"

"Ask your Majesty, isn't he a cultivator of immortality?" Empress Dowager Lu mocked.

Immediately, the imperial guards knew something was wrong and immediately sent out several people to look for him.

The remaining two guards were holding Queen Mother Lu hostage, one on the left and the other on the right.

"Let go!" Empress Dowager Lu raised her arms and said, "The Ai family can leave on their own."

The two of them didn't insist. They believed that even if they didn't hold her captive, it would be impossible for a woman to escape their control.

At the city gate, soldiers from both sides were fighting each other, and blood was everywhere.

Empress Dowager Lu was escorted to "Emperor Jin Ming".

She looked at the man next to her with an indifferent expression. Because he had not shown up for many years, his face was extremely white and his phoenix eyes were very bright.When the wind blows, the hair on his temples and the silk robe are rolled up, making him look like an immortal.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty. Princess Wenxiao and the little princess have escaped." The guard knelt down, "I have sent people to chase them."

"Chase." Emperor Jin Ming spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty!" Another imperial guard came over and knelt down in front of him, "Something happened in Tai Chi Hall!"

"Tai Chi Hall?" Emperor Jin Ming obviously didn't expect to be attacked by someone later. How did they get in?There are so many guards in the palace!But soon, he figured it out, "Li Lanyi... was sent to kill him."

"Yes." The guard quickly turned around and went to do it.

After giving his instructions, Emperor Jin Ming looked at Empress Dowager Lu.

"Who are you?" Queen Mother Lu asked.

Ever since he appeared, or since he stopped seeing people, such a question appeared in her mind.

"Me? I'm your husband." Emperor Jin Ming smiled.

"No..." Queen Mother Lu objected extremely firmly. She looked at the smile on the man's face and her body trembled involuntarily.She couldn't hold it back any longer and suddenly reached forward.

But just when she was about to touch his face, two guards behind her quickly pushed her to the ground.

Her face hit the ground hard, and she frowned in pain.

"Lin Heng!" Emperor Jin Ming did not look at her, but raised his head and shouted loudly to the tall man on the wall, "Stop! Otherwise, your queen mother will die."

"You actually killed your wife!" Zhuang Shi, who was fighting in the battlefield, couldn't help blurting out.

"Lin Heng, didn't you just say that? We are all citizens of the Jin Dynasty, why should we kill each other?" Emperor Ming of Jin said while looking up at the sky.

The originally clear sky was covered with a layer of gray clouds at some point. The clouds became darker and darker.

Cheng Muqing, who had already run down the city gate, saw him like this and couldn't help but raise his head and look at the sky.

Strange, it was clearly sunny when we came out?
Can suitable celestial phenomena enhance the success of sacrifices?
The idea suddenly came to her mind.

She must be just imagining it, right?Cheng Muqing slapped his head and prepared to take a detour to approach Emperor Jin Ming.
