Chapter 388 Sorry, I'm an Undercover Agent!

Inside the Yangxin Palace.

The lights were still on.

The biting cold wind lingered in the palace, shrouded in an indescribable chill.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which made people sick.

Even though the heavy rain outside the palace washed away the traces of tonight's crimes, it could not wash away the cold breath that oppressed my heart.

In the courtyard, several corpses were lying in a mess.

The scene was extremely tragic.

The surroundings were strangely quiet!

The elite subordinates of the third prince had already controlled the entire Yangxin Palace.

Inside the palace.

The third prince, dressed in armor and fully armed, walked slowly into the palace surrounded by his subordinates.

Passing through the towering palace, the palace was filled with a faint sandalwood. Just behind the screen in the distance in front of the sight, a touch of blood was dazzling.

Outside the inner palace, fully armed soldiers had already surrounded the front palace.

Everyone looked solemn, not even breathing heavily. They stared at the inner hall in front of them with full concentration...

In the inner hall, there was a faint light burning, which seemed to be extinguished at any time.

In the hall, there were only a few guards who were still resisting.

But even so, no one dared to despise him.

Everyone knew that the person inside was the current Crown Prince of the Daning Dynasty!

Also, their target tonight!

…

Stepping into the inner hall, for some reason, the third prince felt that his momentum was a little weaker.

There was an indescribable sense of oppression, shrouding his heart.

He looked up with a gloomy face and looked forward.

Only one step away!

He was only one step away from the plan to succeed!

But perhaps it was the shadow that had been hanging over him for so many years that made him still a little uneasy even in such a situation.

He stopped and stared coldly at the front.

Moveless!

"Since you are here, don't you dare to come and see me?"

Just when the atmosphere was dull, Li Ci Ning's voice came from behind the screen in the inner hall.

It was neither cold nor indifferent, and there was not much emotion.

The third prince's face changed slightly, as if he had suffered a great humiliation.

"Hmph, what is there for me to be afraid of?!"

The third prince had a gloomy face and stepped into the inner hall, behind the screen.

Through the screen, the scene behind the screen was in full view.

At this moment, the inner hall was in a mess. Not long ago, there was a melee. At this moment, the only two guards left in the hall were staring at the third prince at the door with a solemn and vigilant look.

The crown prince Li Ci Ning was dressed in silver and white brocade, and was quietly leaning over the desk. His face was as pale as ever, but his expression was always calm.

When the third prince walked in, he slowly sat up and looked up, without much surprise in his eyes. He could not even see any panic or anger, and seemed to be unaware of the current situation!

"Third brother, you're here!"

At this moment, for some reason, the Third Prince's face became more and more ugly.

Especially when he saw Li Ci Ning's calm expression and the look he gave him without any fear, the Third Prince's heart surged with an extremely angry emotion.

Why are you not panicking?

Why are you not afraid? !

Your life is in my hands, I have already won you...Why don't you respect me at all? !

Anger suddenly surged, and the Third Prince's face was ferocious for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal.

"I'm here!"

The Third Prince looked down at him coldly: "You lost!"

The books on the desk were blown by the cold wind and scattered all over the floor. Li Ci Ning picked up the teacup on the table and realized that the hot tea had already cooled down.

He put down the teacup and glanced at him: "What if I win? What if I lose?"

"You don't have to pretend to be calm!"

The third prince sneered: "After tonight, everything in the world belongs to me!"

"If you beg me now, I might consider letting you die quickly!"

The third prince was getting more and more irritated. He didn't like this feeling. He was obviously in control of everything, but why did he still feel an indescribable... uneasiness when facing Li Ci Ning!

Li Ci Ning was silent for a long time, and then he sighed deeply, "Are you so eager to get this position?"

"For this, you are willing to risk being accused and criticized by the world, and kill your own brothers?!

The third prince's eyes were cold: "There have never been any brothers in the royal family. Since ancient times, the winners are the kings and the losers are the bandits! "

In his eyes, there has never been any brotherly love. They were born in the royal family, and they were destined to be enemies in the future!

Either you die or I live!

It has been like this since ancient times!

Li Ci Ning looked at the cold eyes of his brother in front of him, full of hatred for him.

He was silent and said: "I didn't expect that you have been blinded by power and have been so crazy!"

Speaking of this, Li Ci Ning coughed twice, and his face became paler. Perhaps it was because of the cold wind tonight, and his body became thinner.

"I also considered it at the beginning. Since you, my third brother, like my position as the crown prince, I can ask my father to give this position to you! "

The third prince's pupils suddenly shrank, but then he sneered in his heart.

Will he believe it?

Who doesn't fear the position of the crown prince?

Will he give it to me on his own initiative?

Does he think I'm stupid?

Li Qining didn't seem to notice the change in the third prince's expression. He sighed and said, "But third brother, you are too cruel, your style of doing things is brutal, and your methods are too cruel... You will not be a qualified emperor!"

Hearing this, the third prince sneered disdainfully: "Will you be a qualified emperor?"

"Neither am I."

Li Ci Ning shook his head gently. He knew himself. With his temperament, he could not guarantee whether he could become a qualified emperor. But for the people of the world, a docile emperor is always better than a cruel emperor.

"Neither you nor I are suitable to be emperor..."

Li Ci Ning spoke slowly, but was interrupted impatiently by the third prince.

"Whether I am suitable or not, you don't need to judge!"

He hated preaching the most, his father was, and Li Ci Ning in front of him was also. He was most annoyed by these people's chattering. For the third prince, he trusted his fists more. Fight for what you want yourself.

For example, right now!

"It doesn't matter whether it's suitable or not. What's important is that everything is mine now!"

The third prince sneered: "I got everything I wanted by myself!"

"And you have completely lost to me!"

Looking at his brother who used to be high above him and always suppressed him, he has now become his hand.

At this moment, the third prince felt an indescribable sense of relief. It was as if the emotions that had been suppressed for many years were released at this moment.

Looking at the third brother who used to be respectful to him, now blinded by power, with such a ferocious look, Li Ci Ning felt heavy-hearted.

"Turn back, before a disaster happens, everything is still in time."

Li Ci Ning looked at him calmly.

"Turn back?!"

The third prince seemed to have heard something funny. He grinned and said, "Why should I turn back? I have got everything I want now... The palace and the capital are now under my control, and your life is also..."

"There is no guard around you who can protect you. I only need one sword to kill you... This world is at my fingertips!"

"No one can stop me. Tomorrow morning, I will ascend the throne and become emperor! At that time, this world will belong to me!"

"Why should I turn back?!"

Li Ci Ning's eyes finally turned cold: "You are so crazy that you even dare to attack my father?!"

The third prince grinned and said, "If he is willing to listen and give a letter of abdication, I can spare his life. If he doesn't know what's good for him, don't blame me..."

Now that the capital and the palace are under his control, it is no longer the turn of others to point fingers at him!

What the third prince wanted was never just Li Ci Ning's position as the crown prince. He wanted to get it right the first time and sit on the coveted supreme throne!

"Beast!"

Li Ci Ning's face finally changed slightly.

Although he had a premonition, he was still angry when he heard it from the third prince himself.

He not only wanted to kill himself, but also his father...

Would he like to be the emperor who killed his father and brother, was nailed to the pillar of shame, and was infamous for thousands of years? !

"You are finally angry!"

The third prince saw that Li Ci Ning's face finally changed, and he felt more and more proud and comfortable.

This is the picture he wanted to see!

This is the result he wanted!

"I thought you were just unscrupulous and cruel, but I didn't expect that you have lost even the last bit of humanity!"

Li Ci Ning looked at him coldly: "If you become the emperor, how can my Daning Dynasty live in peace? What kind of miserable life will the people of Daning live in?!"

"You must not sit in this position."

The third prince grinned: "It's probably too late for you to say this now!"

Li Ci Ning waved his sleeves and looked at him coldly: "That's not necessarily true!"

At this moment, for some reason, Li Ci Ning's temperament suddenly changed. Although he still looked weak, as if he would fall down at any time. But the invisible oppressive aura permeated his body, which made the third prince uneasy.

How could this be?

The third prince was full of resentment.

He was clearly in control of the situation, why did he still subconsciously feel a little scared.

"You..."

The third prince was about to speak.

The next second, a burst of noisy sounds suddenly came from outside the palace. Accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps and sudden screams.

The third prince's face changed and he turned his head suddenly: "What's going on?!"

A figure outside the palace staggered and rushed in.

"Your Highness, it's bad. Many imperial guards suddenly appeared outside. We are surrounded!"

As soon as these words came out, the third prince's face suddenly changed.

How could there be imperial guards?

As if realizing something, he suddenly turned his head and stared at Li Ci Ning: "It's you?!"

Li Ci Ning looked at him expressionlessly: "Why do you think I'm not prepared?"

At this moment, the third prince finally realized what was going on with the uneasiness in his heart!

It was too smooth tonight!

It was so smooth that he had a trance of unreality, and this unreality was the source of his uneasiness and fear.

It turned out that he had been prepared for a long time?

The third prince, who realized that the matter was exposed, suddenly turned pale. The hurried footsteps outside the palace were accompanied by the sound of fighting, and it was obviously fierce.

The clash of swords and the screams rang out again, endlessly.

He suddenly stared at Li Ci Ning, who was still sitting at his desk with a calm expression, and anger and fear suddenly surged.

"Kill him!"

"Quick!"

The third prince roared in a deep voice from his throat.

What if he was surrounded and tricked?

His plan has been successful for the most part, and the capital has fallen into his hands. Even Li Ci Ning's life and death depend on his thoughts.

As long as he is killed, the morale of the guards outside will surely plummet, and they will be leaderless. When the troops outside the capital arrive, it will still not change the situation!

"Kill!"

With the order of the third prince, the soldiers around him drew their swords and knives in unison, and the murderous aura instantly filled the air.

But the next second, screams suddenly rang out around him.

The third prince turned his head suddenly and saw an incredible scene.

Some of the soldiers who were originally surrounding the palace suddenly pointed their swords and weapons at their companions next to them. Some companions were caught off guard and did not expect their own people to attack him. They were hit in an instant and fell down.

The third prince's pupils suddenly shrank when he saw this scene: "You?!"

As if he realized something, he suddenly turned his head to look at Li Ci Ning, and was shocked and terrified: "It's you?!"

Li Ci Ning looked at him calmly, but his pale face seemed to have a terrifying oppressive aura.

"You have planted so many spies around me over the years, can't I plant someone around you?"

The third prince was shocked and angry. He didn't expect that there were so many traitors under his command. Seeing that the "traitors" outside the palace had dealt with their accomplices next to them, they rushed directly into the palace.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

The confidants who were protecting the third prince drew their swords and stopped the approaching "traitors"!

"Your Highness, kill the prince first!"

A confidant shouted in the crowd.

As long as Li Ci Ning died, everything would be over!

He must be killed first!

This angry shout made the third prince, who was shocked and angry, suddenly come back to his senses.

He stared at Li Ci Ning, who was still sitting at the table, motionless, and a deep fear inexplicably arose in his heart.

But at the moment, he didn't care to think so much!

He thought he had already won the game, but he was tricked.

At this moment, the third prince only wanted to kill Li Ci Ning. He suddenly drew the long sword from his waist and stabbed at Li Ci Ning.

The two guards beside Li Ci Ning stepped forward and blocked the third prince.

"Go to hell!"

The third prince jumped up, slashed down with the long sword in his hand, and instantly repelled the two guards.

The two guards were terrified, as if they didn't expect that the third prince's martial arts were so good? !

"Protect the prince!"

After a brief moment of shock, the two guards quickly surrounded him.

"Looking for death!"

At this moment, the third prince's eyes were slightly red, and he only had Li Ci Ning in his eyes!

Kill him!

He waved the heavy sword in his hand and swept forward again, and the heavy sword hit the two guards heavily.

"Bang!"

The two guards were knocked back four or five steps again, their faces pale, and their bodies churning.

The martial arts of this third prince are so strong? !

He hides it so deeply? !

"Li Ci Ning, die!"

After repelling the two guards, there is no more obstacle in front of the third prince.

Li Ci Ning in front of him is just a powerless baby. The heavy sword in the third prince's hand will approach him in the next second, and he will take his life!

The cold light of the heavy sword reflects Li Ci Ning's calm eyes and the gloomy and ferocious face of the third prince.

All this, the picture is almost frozen!

Until...

A long sword appeared silently from behind the third prince and pressed against his neck.

"Your Highness, stop it!"

The cold sword pierced the bones, and it was so cold that it made people stiff.

The third prince's body shook and he was stunned.

He turned his head suddenly, his eyes were shocked and full of disbelief.

"You..."

In his sight, a middle-aged man in Confucian robes was standing behind the Third Prince, holding a sword against his neck.

Facing the Third Prince's questioning, astonished, angry, complicated, and unbelievable look, Situ Yan remained calm.

"Your Highness the Third Prince, I'm sorry!"

"I'm an undercover!"

"..."
