Can't a girl be a traitor like Cao Cao?

But after a while, the two of them felt something was wrong.

There should be sounds when you're constipated, how can you sit on the toilet without moving for so long?

So one person went up and knocked on the door to ask.

After knocking for a while and finding no response, they broke down the door.

Then you see the wooden board that has been removed.

The guard's face immediately showed surprise and doubt, his expression quite interesting. It was hard to tell whether he was impressed or speechless.

But Jiang Hao has already escaped.

So the two of them quickly called out to their surroundings and began searching for him.

As for where Jiang Hao fled to at this time—

It was naturally impossible for them to escape from the palace.

Not to mention that it is already late at night and the palace gates are tightly closed.

Even if the palace gates weren't closed, with him covered in excrement, he'd probably be discovered before he even ran a hundred paces.

Therefore, Jiang Hao's initial goal was not to escape.

Instead, it has a fixed goal.

That was King Xing, Jiang Chenghan.

Inside the palace where Jiang Chenghan was staying, Jiang Hao, after a difficult journey, finally arrived outside the palace gate.

Although he was unable to obtain the right to meet with Jiang Chenghan when he inquired with the palace servants, he at least found out the location of the palace where Jiang Chenghan lived.

Moreover, he was very lucky; the guards assigned to the Xingwang twins by the Red King were quite lenient.

It was late at night, so Jiang Hao easily sneaked into the palace.

At this time, Jiang Chenghan was not asleep in the palace.

After all, it's impossible for a twelve-year-old child not to be nervous when he is suddenly summoned to the capital and told that he will replace his cousin as emperor.

But at that moment, Jiang Hao walked into the hall looking disheveled and called out to him, "Cousin?"

Jiang Chenghan was startled and turned around, only to see a strange man with disheveled hair, covered in excrement and emitting a foul stench.

"Where...where did this shit-man come from? Guards..."

He was frightened and immediately cried out.

Jiang Hao quickly said, "Don't be afraid! Don't shout! I'm your cousin! I'm the emperor!"

"Your Majesty..." Jiang Chenghan's eyes widened, feeling as if his mind had been shocked.

This shit-man is actually Jiang Hao?

Jiang Chenghan hesitated for a moment, then asked Jiang Hao with some fear, "What... are you doing here?"

Jiang Hao's expression was uncertain at this moment. In the end, he knelt down and said to Jiang Chenghan, "Cousin, save me... save my life!"

Jiang Chenghan was startled, seemingly unaware of how he had become connected to his life and death.

So he asked, "How...how can I save you?"

Jiang Hao, tears streaming down his face, said to Jiang Chenghan, "Cousin, you absolutely cannot accept the throne. That throne is not for you to sit on; it can only belong to me. Otherwise... my life is over..."

Jiang Chenghan hesitated upon hearing this.

His sister had previously analyzed the pros and cons with him, telling him what kind of emperor Jiang Hao was and why the current Grand General Chi Junlin wanted to replace him.

Jiang Chenghan was aware of his current predicament, so he could only shake his head and say, "Cousin, I have no choice in the matter... Whether I become emperor or not is not something I can decide..."

Jiang Hao knelt on the ground, and upon hearing these words, his expression changed.

Just then, a commotion could be faintly heard from outside, as if the guards already knew about his escape and were quickly chasing after him along the trail of excrement he had left behind.

If they get caught again, it will be difficult to encounter the same situation again.

Jiang Hao's expression changed, eventually becoming extremely sinister.

He said in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, cousin, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

As he spoke, to Jiang Chenghan's astonishment, he suddenly sprang up and grabbed Jiang's neck with both hands, choking him.

"Cousin...cousin..." Jiang Chenghan was just a child, and his body was weak. He was grabbed by Jiang Hao and could not resist.

His face turned bluish-purple, he had difficulty breathing, and he was quickly choked unconscious.

Jiang Hao's expression turned ferocious, and he tightened his grip even more.

He muttered to himself, "As long as I kill you, I'll still be the emperor... I'll still be..."

Seeing that Jiang Chenghan's face was getting worse and worse, and he had started foaming at the mouth, it seemed that he would be strangled to death by Jiang Hao soon.

Unexpectedly, a figure flashed past behind them.

Then came a delicate shout.

"ah----"

A loud thud was heard, and Jiang Hao felt a heavy object slam into his lower back.

A sharp pain shot through him, and he let out a scream before his body went limp.

Appearing behind Jiang Hao was Princess Yunluo, Jiang Chengyun, her face full of anger and panting heavily.

Chapter 46 The Time of Abolishing the Old and Establishing the New

When Chi Junlin arrived at the palace where Jiang Chenghan was staying, it was almost dawn.

Although Chi Junlin was initially surprised to learn that Jiang Hao had escaped, he soon learned that he had found Jiang Chenghan in the palace where Jiang Chenghan was staying.

The two guards, having failed in their duty, voluntarily accepted punishment. Chi Junlin, however, did not blame them.

After all, no one could have imagined that Jiang Hao would be so ruthless as to dare to escape through the latrine.

Chi Junlin was startled when he heard this, realizing that he had underestimated Jiang Hao.

He then only allowed the two guards to receive twenty lashes as a minor punishment.

More important than that is the current situation inside the palace.

When Chi Junlin entered the main hall, he smelled a strong stench emanating from Jiang Hao.

She frowned and looked over, only to see Jiang Hao lying on a stretcher, laughing somewhat maniacally.

Chi Junlin heard that this guy had been hit in the lower back by Jiang Chengjun with a stone inkstone, and that the hit was very hard.

He had completely lost control of his bladder and an imperial physician was treating him.

However, Red King's attention was not on him.

For Chi Junlin, as long as Jiang Hao is alive, that's fine, or even if he is dead, it doesn't matter, at least his body can be found.

However, Prince Xing, Jiang Chenghan, was nearly knocked unconscious by Jiang Hao's choking.

If Princess Yunluo hadn't discovered it in time and bravely rescued him, he probably would have been strangled to death on the spot.

At this time, Jiang Chenghan had been treated by the imperial physician and had woken up from his coma.

However, Jiang Chenghan seemed to be in a bad state at this time.

He appeared to be very sensitive to light, and his eyelids twitched frequently; his mental state was very poor.

The imperial physician then told Chi Junlin that this was a case of convulsions.

It was because he was extremely frightened, which affected his mental state.

It takes a long time to recover and may leave lasting side effects.

Jiang Chengyun hugged her brother, tears streaming down her face.

Upon hearing the imperial physician's words, she immediately glared at Jiang Hao with a resentful expression, wishing she could smash him to death to vent her anger.

Looking at Jiang Chenghan's terrified expression, Chi Junlin felt that Jiang Chenghan was probably not in a suitable state to appear in front of the officials.

He couldn't help but frown.

Jiang Hao, on the other hand, laughed maniacally and shouted loudly.

"I am the emperor! I am the emperor! No one can take my throne away!"

Chi Junlin gave Jiang Hao a cold look, then asked the imperial physician, "How is he?"

The imperial physician then bowed to Chi Junlin and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, I just discussed this with Imperial Physician Li. His Majesty was likely struck in the spine, which is fractured in the middle. His lower body... is probably paralyzed."

"Can it be cured?"

"This...I'm afraid not."

"Yeah. I understand."

Seeing that Jiang Hao was still laughing somewhat manicly, Chi Junlin stepped forward and looked at him with an icy expression.

Jiang Hao saw the look in Chi Junlin's eyes, which seemed to be filled with fear, and covered his face with his hands.

Then Chi Junlin said with a cold laugh, "You think you can keep the throne like this? You're thinking too simply."

I originally wanted you to step down with some dignity. Since you don't want to do it gracefully, I'll just have to do it for you!

This day was the 9th day of the 9th month of the 74th year of the Taisho era (1643).

It is auspicious for sacrifices, prayers, groundbreaking, foundation laying, and property acquisition.

General Chi Jun arrived and led his ministers in a sacrifice at the Altar of Heaven and Earth.

Offering nine kinds of sacrificial animals and reciting prayers, we comfort our ancestors and worship the gods of the land and grain.

On the same day, he ordered Emperor Jiang Hao, the third emperor of the Zheng family, to issue an edict of self-reproach.

His posthumous title was "Marquis of Drowning".

The throne was passed to King Xing, Jiang Chenghan.

This was the first year of the fourth generation.

Outside the imperial city, on a wide altar.

Chi Junlin, along with the new emperor "Jiang Chenghan" standing beside her, watched as Jiang Hao, whose imperial seal and crown were removed, was carried away by a group of guards.

At this moment, Jiang Hao's face was blank, and he looked somewhat crazy. He just sat there motionless on the palanquin.

Because he was carried up by guards the entire time, the ministers below did not realize that Jiang Hao was now paralyzed.

The new emperor beside Chi Junlin was also far away.

So no one noticed that the twelve-year-old emperor had a delicate face and long, arched eyelashes.

It turned out to be a cute little girl.

Clearly, Jiang Chenghan needs to rest and recuperate due to his current mental state and is not suitable to participate in the sacrificial ceremony.

But the Red Emperor could not have reigned until now; another person could have become emperor.

It's impossible to grant Jiang Hao's wish and let him continue to drag things out.

Therefore, Jiang Chenghan's younger sister, Jiang Chengyun, had to attend the ceremony in place of her brother.

Fortunately, Jiang Chengyun and Jiang Chenghan are twins and look almost identical.

After they put on the dragon robes, it was impossible to tell the difference between the two.

For Red King's Landing, this is not a big problem.

As for Jiang Hao's fate, few people sympathize with him now.

After all, for a dynasty that needed to recuperate, Jiang Hao was already considered a wise ruler even if he did nothing.

But unfortunately, he was muddle-headed and incompetent, yet full of ideas.

If it weren't for Chi Junlin's decisiveness, who knows what kind of mess these insects would have made of the country.

At this moment, seeing that the ceremony was about to end, Jiang Chengyun, who was wearing a dragon robe, blinked his big eyes and looked at Chi Junlin curiously.

Chi Junlin was dressed in silver armor, looking majestic and imposing.

Seeing this, he smiled at Jiang Chengyun and asked, "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
