Chapter 55: The Empress Arrives
Translator: 549690339
Puff!
Princess Chang Xi spat out an arrow of blood. At the critical moment, her potential burst out. Although her head had escaped a disaster and avoided being smashed into pieces, her right shoulder had been hit by a palm strike, adding another stab to her serious injury. She was like a kite with a broken string, still hanging on by a breath.
At this moment, people arrived. It wasn’t just one person, but a group. With the First Prince in the lead, almost all of the princes had arrived and stopped at the palace gate.
Without even looking at Princess Changxi, who was about to be taken out, the Great Prince stepped forward and smiled.””We brothers haven’t gathered for a long time, so we came together to have a cup of tea and chat. Shimin, you wouldn’t mind, right?”
This was the one she had prepared. Before she left the residence, she had asked the servant girl to send a message to them, inviting them to come over and watch a good show. There were only four words, “topple the Crown Prince”. After pondering for a moment, considering the gains and losses, and discussing with his think tank, this scene occurred.
Those who were closer to the Eastern Palace deliberately controlled their speed. Those who were further away from the Eastern Palace did not take the lead. They waited until they were almost there before they increased their speed.
Everyone’s eyes were the same, wanting to see how Princess Changxi would bring down the Crown Prince.
If he really fell, they would gain the most.
Without any effort, they could get what they wanted. No one could refuse. All they had to do was to put in a little effort.
Deeper.
From the moment they were born, they had been standing on opposite sides. It was destined that only one side would have the last laugh.
The Crown Prince smiled as if Princess Chang Xi’s incident had never happened, but his heart was very cold. He had guessed that she would arrange a backup plan, but he didn’t expect her to call these princes. Although he didn’t know how she did it, it seemed that things weren’t that simple. She must have other trump cards.
He knew exactly why they were here.
No matter how angry he was, he didn’t show it. “What are you talking about?
How could I mind us brothers gathering together?”
The tone of his voice changed, becoming cold and murderous.
He pointed at Princess Changxi.” She tried to assassinate me just now and was injured by my men. You guys stopped me from doing it. Are you guys working together?” ”
“It can’t be, right? Why would Aunt Chang Xi want to assassinate you? We don’t know anything about this. If we knew, we wouldn’t have let her do this.”
“I want to kill her now, and you want to stop me?”
The First Prince shook his head, and so did the other princes. “Of course not!
Even if he wanted to kill them, he had to clarify the matter so that he could explain when his father asked.”
The Crown Prince narrowed his eyes and looked at them. It was an invisible confrontation!
Before they came, she could kill him, but now, in front of them, he was sending her on her way. Although there was a reason for this, it was inevitable that his father would think too much.
The atmosphere was tense.
A cold and vigorous voice rang out,””The Empress has arrived!”
He looked in the direction of the voice.
Under the protection of the Phoenix Guards, the Empress walked up from behind. Her face was cold and her aura was powerful. She had not even spoken yet, but she already gave everyone a huge pressure.
The Crown Prince stepped forward, and the other princes followed suit. They bowed and said,’”‘Your son (all the princes say their names) greets mother (niangniang)!”
The Empress nodded at him and walked to Princess Chang Xi without looking at the princes. Seeing that she was still alive and hanging on the ground, a cold light flashed across her beautiful eyes as she asked,””What happened?” The Crown Prince recounted everything that had happened.
After listening.
The empress’s gaze fell on the princes. Her red phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. Her words were very soft, but they carried boundless killing intent.”She shouldn’t be killed?”
None of the princes dared to look at her and lowered their heads.
No one dared to contradict her, at least on the surface. The Empress was very powerful. After sitting in this position for so many years, the bones of those who dared to challenge her were already cold.
“Kill them!”
Qing er unsheathed her sword. The sword gleamed with a cold light as she prepared to send her on her way. But before she could land, another group of people arrived. This time, it was Wei Shang, a trusted aide of the Xia Emperor. He was leading a group of people. “This old servant greets the Empress!”
“Did His Majesty send you here?”
” Yes,” Wei Shang replied.” Pass on His Majesty’s orders. Bring Princess Changxi with you. Everyone will enter the palace immediately.’”‘
The Xia Emperor had already spoken.
The Empress wanted to kill them, but she had no other choice. She could suppress these princes, and so could Emperor Xia.
After breaking the illusion world, Zhang Ronghua didn’t know what happened in the East Palace, but he knew that this matter couldn’t be delayed, so he used his body technique to the limit and rushed back.
As soon as they entered the capital, they saw Zheng Fugui, Ma Ping ‘an, and Lu Zhantang. They led their troops to confront the three young masters of the loyal Marquis, Lin Shiyuan, and the others.
Seeing him appear, both sides had different expressions.
Zheng Fugui was pleasantly surprised, but the other side was in a state of chaos. It felt like the sky had collapsed. Were the loyal duke and the others dead? Did he get it?
He looked at them coldly.
“Take them all down!” Zhang Ronghua ordered. Those who resist will be executed according to the crime of treason.”
Without waiting for them to speak, he continued to rush toward the Eastern
Palace.
“Cousin, what are you doing?” Zheng Fugui shouted from behind.”
Without looking back, he threw down a sentence.
“Carry out the order!”
Ma Ping ‘an and Lu Zhantang looked at each other and made a decisive decision. They led their men and charged forward. Zheng Fugui listened to his words and used the Mountain River World Suppression Fist to charge at the three sons of the loyal Marquis. In the Eastern Palace.
Zhang Ronghua had finally returned. When he reached the rear hall, he happened to see Wei Shang delivering Emperor Xia’s verbal order. His appearance once again attracted everyone’s attention.
He quickly walked to the Crown Prince’s side and whispered into his ear. He whispered a few words in private before handing the voice recording stone to him.
The Crown Prince nodded and instructed them not to let anyone off.
The group of people left and rode in carriages, rushing towards the Imperial Palace.
After they left, he entered the Xuanhe Hall and asked, ‘”What happened?” Qing ‘Er told him everything.
“How did she know that the operation failed?” Zhang Ronghua frowned, puzzled. ” “Where is he?”
“Dead ! ”
He told her about the demon dog again.
The two of them suddenly realized that it was no wonder Princess Changxi was desperate and took the risk to kill the Crown Prince.
He could not figure it out.
There were too many twists and turns in this matter. Only when the Crown Prince returned would he be able to figure out the whole story.
As for Zheng Fugui, he was not worried. It would be easy to take down the Divine Tiger Bodyguard Agency and the three sons of the loyal duke.
He waited in the Eastern Palace for news.
Very quickly.
Zheng Fugui and the others returned, and Lu Zhantang also came. The three young masters of the Loyalty Marquis, Lin Shiyuan, and his son were captured. The others were either killed or imprisoned.
They were the only ones present, so they spoke very casually.. Ma Ping ‘an asked, “”What exactly happened? Why was he so muddle-headed today?”
