Chapter 1 Taishan, Altar

Jiang Zuo Wang looked at Jiang Chen at the head of the altar, a deep sense of triumph and malice flashing in his eyes.

Dog Emperor, weren't you very arrogant before?

Never thought you'd have this day, would you!

Thinking of the storm that the imperial edict of self-condemnation would cause, Jiang Zuo Wang felt even more pleased.

He stared deeply at Jiang Chen's face, his eyes full of malice, his handsome face slightly twisted.

Dog Emperor, this is just the beginning!

"Everyone, before the Feng Chan ceremony, I have an imperial edict to announce..."

Jiang Chen's cold and restrained voice came from the altar, but before he could finish speaking, a commotion suddenly broke out in the forbidden army in the distance, drawing everyone's attention.

Mei Ruoying was the first to notice the change. Her pretty face sank, and she looked at the crowd with suspicion, feeling a faint unease in her heart.

What's going on?

The plan was clearly going smoothly, who would cause trouble at this time?

No longer caring about hiding, she stepped out of the crowd and stood at the edge of the altar, looking into the distance. The familiar face that entered her sight made her pupils shrink suddenly.

Xu, Xu Jiaying! Why is she here?!

Damn it, she had clearly sent one hundred and fifty death warriors to guard this woman before leaving, how did things still go wrong? Useless! A bunch of useless people!

Seeing the plan falling apart, Mei Ruoying pursed her red lips tightly and began to think about how to escape.

But she didn't show any panic on the surface, and continued to threaten as if nothing had happened: "Your Majesty, hurry up and read it, if you delay any longer, you won't see Sister Xu!"

Jiang Chen instinctively felt that something was wrong and looked at Mei Ruoying suspiciously, but he didn't see anything unusual.

Out of concern for Xu Jiaying, Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to continue.

At this moment, Xu Mu below suddenly roared.

"Your Majesty, don't fall for this妖妃 (yao fei - bewitching consort)!"

"Consort Ying has been found!"

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up, and his sharp gaze shot straight to the bottom of the altar, immediately locking onto the figure.

The gloom in his heart was swept away, leaving only anger.

He crushed the imperial edict of self-condemnation in one hand, and turned to look at Mei Ruoying coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent, sending chills down one's spine.

"Bitch, you have some courage to dare to deceive and threaten me at this time!"

"Tell me, what method should I use to torment you to wash away today's humiliation? Hmm?"

The beast-like gaze made Mei Ruoying's heart beat wildly, her blood seemed to freeze, and her whole body went numb.

The imperial family ministers around the altar were confused by these sudden farces, their eyes full of bewilderment.

Only Jiang Zuo Wang in the crowd knew the inside story and looked at Xu Jiaying, who was guarded by the forbidden army in the distance, with a livid face.

At this moment, he simply wanted to disregard everything, directly overturn the table, and kill this bitch who ruined her plan on the spot, just to make the emperor angry!

But he still had some reason left and didn't act impulsively.

He just clenched his fists tightly, closed his eyes and calmed his emotions.

There are still opportunities, there will be opportunities in the future... He didn't believe that Jiang Chen, this dog emperor, could always be so lucky and turn danger into safety!

One day, he will make this dog thing lose everything!

Above the altar.

Realizing that the plan had completely failed, Mei Ruoying decisively attacked, drew a short sword from her bosom, and rushed towards Jiang Chen!

The distance between the two was originally close. She suddenly launched an attack and rushed to Jiang Chen's side in the blink of an eye, the short sword in her sleeve directly touching his throat.

"Bold!"

"Stop, 妖妃 (yao fei - bewitching consort)!"

Jing Yue's expression suddenly changed, her pretty face no longer had any coldness, and she looked at Mei Ruoying with a grim expression.

Before the start of the Feng Chan ceremony, she was called away by the 妖妃 (yao fei - bewitching consort), too far away from Jiang Chen, even if she was highly skilled, she was still one step too late!

Bathed in the dangerous gazes of everyone, Mei Ruoying did not panic at all, she used force on her hand and threatened: "If you want to save this dog emperor's life, all of you back down!"

"I'm warning you not to have any clever ideas, if anything happens to me, even if I use my last bit of strength, I will drag this dog emperor down with me!"

Hearing this, everyone's faces twisted, their eyes full of resentment.

They all knew Mei Ruoying's background and knew that this woman was an unscrupulous 妖妃 (yao fei - bewitching consort) who would do what she said, so they didn't dare to act rashly for a while.

Even Xu Changqing, Meng Qi, Xu Mu and other battle-hardened generals were in a panic at this time, looking even more embarrassed than Jiang Chen, who was being held hostage.

After a while, they gradually calmed down and shouted: "妖妃 (yao fei - bewitching consort), release His Majesty, you can name any condition!"

Their elites were all around the altar, and they had already received the news, dispersed the idlers, and completely surrounded the place.

Although Jiang Chen was being held hostage, he didn't lose his composure. He had been observing the surrounding environment and looking for an opportunity to escape.

After observing the movements of the army, he warned in a cold voice: "Mei Ruoying, I advise you not to be impulsive."

"Now the elites of the three major battalions are gathered here. If you kill me, you will only have a dead end!"

Mei Ruoying's pretty face was annoyed: "Your Majesty, this is no time for you, dog emperor, to interrupt!"

She tightened the short sword in her hand and threatened: "Make your people all back down and give me a way out... Also, let Jing Yue, that bitch, summon all the dark guards back and not leave the altar for half a step!"

"If you don't do as I say, I will blind one of your eyes now and see if you can still sit firmly on the throne in the future!"

Mei Ruoying's voice was cold, and the content of her words was even more chilling.

The people gathered around the altar were all looking at her in disbelief at this time.

No matter what, His Majesty was this woman's husband, but she said such vicious words... As expected, the most poisonous heart belongs to a woman!

"You, don't touch His Majesty..." Noble Consort Shu cried out in grief, her delicate and pretty face showing determination: "Mei Ruoying, you can come at me if you want to do anything, please don't hurt His Majesty!"

Ignoring the obstruction of the crowd, she staggered forward and knelt on the ground: "I can be your hostage, you let His Majesty go, please..."

The humble posture made Jiang Chen feel extremely pained.

The woman he held in his palm and regarded as a treasure was being trampled on in public!

Jiang Chen became more and more angry in his heart, but looking at Noble Consort Shu's pear-blossom-like face, he could only endure his emotions and force a smile to comfort her secretly:

"Yun'er, get up, this is not something you should bear... Be good, go back!"

After speaking, his expression became serious, and he shouted: "Everyone, listen to Mei Ruoying's instructions, back down and do not stop her from leaving!"

Noble Consort Shu was crying heartbrokenly, almost unable to stand, and could only rely on the support of the maid to barely maintain her composure.

She always listened to Jiang Chen's words, even if she was in extreme pain at this time, she still resisted the urge to follow him, not wanting to disappoint Jiang Chen.

Mei Ruoying swept her phoenix eyes over the crowd, full of vigilance. Only after the enemies had retreated to a safe distance did she hold Jiang Chen hostage and slowly move.

"Get out of the way, swords have no eyes, if you get too close and scare me... this dog emperor will suffer!"

As she spoke, she used force on her hand, pressing the blade of the short sword deeper...
