Chapter 55: The Empress Arrives
puff!
A bloody arrow was spat out from Princess Changxi's mouth. At the critical moment, her potential exploded. Although her head escaped the disaster and avoided being smashed to pieces, she received a slap on her right shoulder, which seriously injured her again.
After a patch of knife, it was like a kite with its string broken, still hanging on.
At this time, the visitors also arrived, not one person, but a group, headed by the eldest prince, and almost all the princes came and stopped at the palace gate.
Without even looking at the dying Princess Chang Xi, the eldest prince stepped forward and smiled slightly: "We brothers haven't been together for a long time, so we came together to have a cup of tea and chat. Shimin, you don't mind, right?"
This was her back-up plan. Before leaving the palace, she asked her maid to send a message to them, asking them to come and watch a good show. There were only four words: "bring down the prince."
After pondering for a while, considering the pros and cons, and discussing with his think tank, this scene emerged.
Those who were close to the East Palace deliberately controlled their speed, while those who were far away from the East Palace did not act as if they were the first to show off. They waited until they were almost there before speeding up.
Everyone had the same purpose, they wanted to see how Princess Changxi could defeat the prince.
If he really falls, they will be the ones to gain the most.
You can get what you want without any effort. No one can refuse. All it takes is a little effort.
A little deeper.
They have been on opposite sides since they were born, and it is destined that only one party will have the last laugh.
The prince smiled, as if what happened to Princess Chang Xi had never happened, but his heart was very cold. He guessed that she would arrange a back-up plan, but he did not expect to call these princes here, although he did not know how she would deal with it.
Yes, but now it seems that things will not be that simple. There must be other trump cards.
The purpose of their visit is very clear.
No matter how angry I was, I didn't show it at all: "What did eldest brother say? How can I mind if we brothers get together?"
The conversation changed and he became cold and solemn.
Pointing at Princess Chang Xi: "She just assassinated Gu and was injured by Gu's men. You stopped Gu's attack. Could it be that you were a group?"
"No way? Why would Aunt Changxi want to assassinate you when she is fine? We don't know this at all. If we knew, we would definitely not let her do this."
"Gu wants to kill her now, do you want to stop her?"
The eldest prince shook his head, and the other princes also said the same: "Of course not! Even if you want to kill, you have to clarify the matter so that you can explain it easily when your father asks, don't you think so?"
The prince squinted his eyes and looked at them, invisibly confronting each other!
Before they came, she would just kill her, but now in front of them, sending her on her way, even though there was a reason, it would inevitably make her father think too much.
He may not care about other people's opinions, but not Emperor Xia!
The atmosphere is deadlocked.
A cold and powerful voice sounded: "Your Majesty is here!"
Follow the sound.
Under the protection of the Phoenix Guards, the queen walked up from behind, with a cold face and a strong aura. She exerted tremendous pressure on everyone before she even opened her mouth.
The prince stepped forward, and the other princes followed and saluted: "My sons (the princes said their names) have met the queen mother (empress)!"
The queen nodded to him without looking at the princes. She walked to and stopped in front of Princess Chang Xi. Seeing that she was not dead yet, she was hanging by a breath. A cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes and she asked: "What happened?"
What happened?"
The prince told what happened.
After listening.
The queen's eyes fell on the princes, Danfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and her words were very soft, but with boundless killing intent: "Shouldn't she be killed?"
No prince dared to look at her, and they all lowered their heads.
No one dares to contradict her, at least on the surface. The queen has great power. After sitting in this position for so many years, the bones of anyone who dares to challenge her are already cold.
"kill!"
Qing'er drew out her sword, the blade of the sword flashed with cold light, and was about to send her on her way. Before she left, someone else came. This time it was Wei Shang, Emperor Xia's confidant, with a group of people.
"I've met my empress!"
"Did His Majesty ask you to come?"
Wei Shang responded, and then said: "According to your Majesty's oral instructions, take Princess Changxi with you, and everyone will enter the palace immediately."
Emperor Xia has already spoken.
No matter how much the queen wanted to kill, there was nothing she could do at this moment. One thing suppressed another. If she could suppress these princes, Emperor Xia could also suppress her.
…
After breaking through the illusion world, Zhang Ronghua didn't know what happened in the East Palace, but he knew that he couldn't delay the matter, so he used his physical skills to the limit and rushed back.
As soon as they entered the capital, they happened to see Zheng Fugui, Ma Ping'an and Lu Zhantang leading their troops to confront the three young masters of Zhongyi Hou, Lin Shiyuan and others.
Seeing him appear, both sides had different expressions.
Zheng Fugui was in for a surprise, but the other side was in chaos. He felt like the sky was falling. Are Marquis Zhongyi and the others dead? Did he get the things?
He gave them a cold look.
Zhang Ronghua ordered: "Capture them all! Those who resist will be punished for the crime of treason by killing the nine tribes."
Without waiting for them to speak, they continued to rush towards the East Palace.
Zheng Fugui shouted from behind: "Cousin, what are you doing?"
Without looking back, I just said a word.
"Excuting an order!"
Ma Ping'an and Lu Zhantang looked at each other, made a decisive decision, and led their troops to charge forward. Zheng Fugui obeyed his words, used the Mountain and River Zhenshi Fist, and went straight to the three sons of Zhongyi Hou...
East Palace.
Zhang Ronghua finally hurried back. When he arrived at the back hall, he happened to see Wei Shangchuan's oral edict from Emperor Xia. His appearance once again attracted everyone's attention.
He walked quickly to the prince's side, whispered in his ear, and then handed the record stone to him.
The prince nodded and told him not to let anyone go.
A group of people left and drove towards the palace in a car.
After they left, they entered the Xuanhe Hall and asked, "What's going on?"
Qing'er told the story again.
Zhang Ronghua frowned, looking puzzled: "How did she know that Operation Zhongyihou failed?"
"Where are the others?"
"died!"
He told the story about the demon dog again.
They suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Princess Chang Xi jumped over the wall in a desperate attempt to take risks and wanted to kill the prince.
Can't figure it out.
There are too many twists and turns here. Only when the prince comes back can we figure out the whole story.
As for Zheng Fugui, he was not worried. It was easy to capture Shenhu Escort and Zhongyihou's three sons.
Stay in the East Palace and wait for news.
soon.
Zheng Fugui and others returned, and Lu Zhantang also came with them. The three sons of Zhongyi Hou and Lin Shiyuan and his son were captured, and the others were killed and imprisoned.
They were the only ones present and spoke very casually. Ma Pingan asked: "What happened? How come you are so confused all day long?"
Chapter completed!
