"I own everything here except those I gave to you. Those I don't give to you still belong to me!" Chushi Youtian shook his head and said after hearing what Chushi Weiming said.

Chushi Weiming raised his eyebrows and asked, "Really? If so, I will make them mine."

He wielded his sword while speaking, after which Chushi Lanfu fell to the ground.

Seeing that, Chushi Youtian shouted, "Guards, kill this monster!"

Right after he finished, four people showed up. They were Chushi Youtian's secret guards.

Then, Chushi Weiming's men also rushed in. At once, it turned into a huge mess!

Lanruo rushed to Chushi Youtian's palace when she heard that Chushi Lanfu was involved in the revolt. And she saw that Chushi Weiming killed Chushi Lanfu. Running into the chaotic palace, Lanruo moved to Chushi Lanfu and held him. She said, "Lanfu, wake up. Wake up!"

Holding Chushi Lanfu into her arms, Lanruo cried.

The palace was filled with fighting soldiers. At this time, someone was slashing at Lanruo.

Then, she paused, vomited blood, and fell onto Chushi Lanfu.

Chushi Youtian who stayed away from the mess saw that and shouted, "Lanruo!"

Right at this time, General Shen ran into the palace and reported, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Marquis Shuo is leading his soldiers to fight against Prince Weiming's men in the palace now."

Hearing that, Chushi Youtian put on a smile but it faded away soon. He didn't think Shuo Ling was here to help him. So he asked General Shen to take one person in the prison here.

Hearing what he said, General Shen quickly left the palace.

Only four secret guards in the palace worked for Chushi Youtian while others were all from Chushi Weiming's army.

Luoxue and his fellows were at disadvantage and they were all injured.

Right at this time, Shuo Ling walked in and said, "Stop!"

"It's you." Chushi Weiming's men stopped and looked at him after hearing his voice.

Shuo Ling slightly raised his eyebrows and continued, "I've killed all of your soldiers outside. Your Highness, are you going to surrender or..."

"You wish!" Chushi Weiming shouted before Shuo Ling finished.

"Shuo Ling, you finally came back. Hurry up... Catch them!" Chushi Youtian said hopefully when he saw Shuo Ling.

But Shuo Ling snorted, looked at him, and said, "Catch them all!"

"Shuo Ling... are you... are you also going to betray me?" Chushi Youtian looked at Shuo Ling restlessly and asked.

Shuo Ling looked cold and continued, "Or should I wait for you to train your soldiers and kill my family?"

"Shuo Ling, how will I do that? I trust you more than I do to others," Chushi Youtian quickly explained after Shuo Ling finished.

But when he finished, Shuo Ling lifted the corner of his mouth and said, "My father trusted you more than he did to others. But at last, I couldn't even find his body after he died."

"So... You knew what happened and planned this in advance," said Chushi Youtian who was shocked. He was right about his assumption.

After making a few moves, Chushi Weiming's soldiers were all captured by Shuo Ling's people.

Afterward, Shuo Ling turned to Chushi Youtian and said, "Your Majesty, please excuse me!"

Then, some people behind him walked forward to grab Chushi Youtian.

However, Chushi Youtian sneered, "Now that you already know what happened, I won't keep it a secret anymore. But it won't be easy for you to kill me."

Chushi Youtian shouted, "Lead her in!"

General Shen walked in with Bai Shuangshuang while putting his sword near her neck.

Seeing that, Shuo Ling got anxious. He had asked General Bai and other people to go to the prison and save Bai Shuangshaung first. But it was too late. They wouldn't find her in the prison.

"Shuo Ling, you're back," said Bai Shuangshuang who felt happy to see Shuo Ling.

At this time, General Shen waved his sword and cut Bai Shuangshuang's neck open.

Bai Shuangshuang gasped.

Bai Zhanfei who didn't find Bai Shuangshuang in the prison came to the palace, too. He became nervous when seeing General Shen seized Bai Shuangshuang.

"General Bai, it's been a long time!" Chushi Youtian looked at Bai Zhanfei and greeted him.

Bai Zhanfei snorted and said, "You should kidnap a girl and threaten me with her life. How despicable you are!"

Right at this time, Shuo Ling turned a bit to give Bai Shuangshuang a hint. The latter understood what he meant and blinked in response.

Soon, Shuo Ling moved swiftly and stabbed General Shen on his chest. Later, he dragged Bai Shuangshuang away from General Shen.

Seeing that, Chushi Youtian frowned and closed his eyes. He knew he was doomed to fail now...

Hearing the noise, Empress Dowager asked Eunuch Liu to take her to the palace.

She didn't believe that Shuo Ling would betray Chushi Youtian until she saw his men captured him.

Then, she walked to Shuo Ling and said, "Shuo Ling, your father had a good reputation for his loyalty when he was alive. Why did you start a revolt? Aren't you afraid to let your father down?"

"Your Highness, His Majesty is the one who lets us down," General Bai explained.

Then, he told Empress Dowager what Chushi Youtian did. The latter put on a long face after that.

Taking a look at Chushi Youtian, she asked Eunuch Liu to take her back.

She didn't know her son had tricked and killed Old Marquis Shuo, his loyal official. That was unforgivable...

Although she was Chushi Youtian's mother, she knew she couldn't defend him.

Shuo Ling walked out of the palace and assigned some tasks to Luo Jin.

Luo Jin took the order and left.

Yang Zijin might get to the capital soon.

Shuo Ling knew that she wanted to take revenge for her mother.

So he wanted to catch all people involved first. Then, Yang Zijin could get back at them when she was back!

Later, Shuo Ling walked to Prince Weiyang's palace.

Prince Weiyang was still locked in his room.

He pounded on the door and said, "Open the door. What's going on outside? Open the door!"

But his maids and servants had all fled. His courtyard was empty.

Shuo Ling sneered and walked in. Pulling out his sword, he wielded it to break the lock on the door.

He pushed the door open and walked in.

At the sight of Shuo Ling, Chushi Weiyang looked happy. But his smile froze when he saw the blood on Shuo Ling. "Do you know...what happened?"

"The Crown Prince and Prince Weiming both started a revolt," Shuo Ling answered.

Chushi Weiming frowned and asked, "How is everything going now?"

"All rebels have been caught and locked up," Shuo Ling said.

Chushi Weiyang quickly walked to him and asked, "Did you...also get involved?"

"Yes!" Shuo Ling nodded.

Chushi Weiyang asked again, "Where is he?"

Although Chushi Youtian wasn't nice to him, he was his father after all. Knowing that many people betrayed Chushi Youtian, Chushi Weiyang couldn't help...

"He's locked up too," Shuo Ling replied.

Hearing that, Chushi Weiyang looked down and asked, "When will you ascend to the throne?"

"You'll ascend to the throne!" Shuo Ling took a glance at him and said.

The latter's eyes were wide open when he heard that. "Are you serious about that? How can I...."

"You can," Shuo Ling continued.

Then, he added, "Prepare for it and we will enthrone you later."

Shuo Ling was here to tell Chushi Weiyang what to do, rather than ask for his opinion.

When he finished, Shuo Ling walked out of the room while Chushi Weiyang stood in his room in disbelief.

Then he quickly ran out and asked, "Is Miss Bai alright?"

"Yes," Shuo Ling answered without looking back.

Hearing that, Chushi Weiyang felt happier than he was when he knew he would ascend to the throne.

When he got everything done, Shuo Ling left the palace and went back to his mansion.

He heard that An Ran had come here and lived in his mansion now. So he had to ask them to leave before Yang Zijin came back in case she would get mad.

At the thought, Shuo Ling walked faster.

An Ran already knew what had happened in the palace and felt delighted.

He didn't know that Shuo Ling could easily overthrow Chushi Youtian.

After walking into the mansion, Shuo Ling directly headed to the study and wrote a divorce letter.

Then, he headed to An Qin's courtyard.

An Ran felt so contented when he knew that Shuo Ling was heading to An Qin's room.

"My Lord, you finally came back," said An Qin who was surprised by Shuo Ling's visit.

Then, Shuo Ling put down the divorce letter on the table and said, "Pack your things up and go back home with your father. If you do so, I'll let bygones be bygones!"

At the sight of the divorce letter, An Qin felt bitterly disappointed.

She pulled Shuo Ling's coat and asked, "My Lord, did I do anything wrong?"

"No. But my wife won't be happy to see you here," said Shuo Ling who flicked his sleeves and left.

An Qin looked at the divorce letter and cried.

Shuo Ling asked Xiao Mu to tell An Ran about the divorce.

An Ran was shocked. He didn't expect Shuo Ling to do this.

At the thought, An Ran felt aggrieved. When he was about to find Shuo Ling, Xiao Mu told him that Shuo Ling was out and wanted them to move out before dusk!

Xiao Mu was threatening him. Although he was angry, An Ran could do nothing under such circumstances.

After An Qin moved out, Xiao Mu set fire to her courtyard as Shuo Ling required in case Yang Zijin felt sad when seeing it.

At the same time, Luo Jin had caught Imperial Concubine Xiao and Qiao Shu as Shuo Ling required.

Also, he told Duke of Mu what Li Mingzi had done before.

Duke of Mu flew into a rage when he knew the truth and directly locked Li Mingzi in the firewood warehouse.

Shuo Ling had got everything done and was waiting for Yang Zijin then.

She could do anything she wanted to those people.

The next day, Yang Zijin and her fellows were close to the capital gate at noon.

Pei Moning who was leading in front frowned when he saw many people standing before the gate. He asked, "What happened? Why are there so many people?"

Hearing that, Yang Zijin pulled back the curtain.

Then, Mo Li answered, "That's Marquis Shuo."

When they got closer, they saw Shuo Ling leading the army to welcome Yang Zijin back.

Seeing that, Yang Zijin slightly frowned and got off the carriage when it stopped before the gate.

People waiting in front of the gate said together, "Madam, welcome back."

Yang Zijin lifted the corner of her mouth and walked to Shuo Ling. She asked, "What are you doing?"

"You will find out when you get home," said Shuo Ling who carried Yang Zijin into his arms and walked back to the carriage.

When they walked into the mansion, Yang Zijin frowned. Why didn't she see An Qin and her servants? Later when they passed by An Qin's courtyard, she found that it had burnt down.

Had Shuo Ling and An Qin got divorced? That idea made Yang Zijin joyful.

When they walked into their room, Shuo Ling quickly told her everything he did because he wanted to earn Yang Zijin's praise.

Yang Zijin nodded with satisfaction.

Then, she said to Shuo Ling, "I'll let you punish all of them except Qiao Shu. I want to take revenge on her for Lan in person."

"As you please," Shuo Ling said and nodded with a smile.

Shortly after Chushi Weiyang ascended to the throne, Shuo Ling built a mansion in the peach forest before the Blossoming Peach. When they were free, Shuo Ling and Yang Zijin would go there to write or sing poems.

Pei Moning and Jiang Wei were in a relationship.

Bai Shuangshuang married Chushi Weiyang at last.

Time flew and three years had passed.

Yang Zijin and Shuo Ling's baby grew up.

Under Chushi Weiyang's leadership, everyone in Dongling lived a happy and peaceful life...
