Chapter 517 Last Will

The figure that appeared in Zhao Ying's sight was Li Beifeng.

The news that Zhao Ying appeared outside the city gate spread immediately.

She appeared in such a high-profile manner without any cover-up. The soldiers at the city gate spread the news back to the palace, and the people outside the city also spread the news into the city.

The eldest princess is not dead!

The breaking news quickly spread throughout the city.

Li Beifeng also learned the news immediately.

The situation in the capital is now in turmoil, and any disturbance will cause huge waves.

Zhao Ying's every move naturally fell under the eyes of those who were interested.

However, it seems that she has no intention of hiding her actions.

Zhao Ying's sudden return to Beijing did not surprise Li Beifeng. This woman's acting style was very unique, even though Li Beifeng had asked her to recuperate in the manor before leaving.

But this woman is definitely not an obedient master.

Especially when the news of Emperor Zhao's death came out, it was absolutely impossible for her to remain indifferent.

Therefore, after learning the news, Li Beifeng found her immediately.

At this moment, Li Beifeng's eyes fell on Zhao Ying's hand.

What is that?

A sword!

Li Beifeng's eyes narrowed when he realized something: "What are you going to do?"

…

Zhao Ying seemed slightly moved by Li Beifeng's appearance.

However, this slight movement did not seem to have eased.

She just glanced at Li Beifeng coldly, and then said calmly: "Enter the palace!"

Li Beifeng's heart froze, entering the palace?

When she entered the palace, she didn't look like she was going to do serious business.

Li Beifeng subconsciously wanted to dissuade him, but when he saw Zhao Ying's cold face, he held back.

I can't help it.

This woman must have taken some action when she returned to Beijing.

Li Beifeng couldn't stop her, and he couldn't stop her!

Therefore, Li Beifeng paused and then suddenly spoke.

"I'll go with you!"

"..."

After hearing Li Beifeng's words, Zhao Ying was stunned for a moment.

It seemed that she didn't expect that Li Beifeng didn't stop her.

This made her a little uncomfortable for a while.

However, she still shook her head: "No need, I can go alone!"

"You said it doesn't count!"

Unexpectedly, Li Beifeng shook his head and smiled at her.

Zhao Ying was silent, glanced at him, and left a faint sentence.

"Whatever you want!"

Then, he rode away.

Li Beifeng was left stunned on the spot, unable to recover for a while.

This woman... really has no mercy at all.

She just ran away and left herself here?

After all, he had worked hard to save her life. Is this how she treated her savior?

After being stunned for a moment, Li Beifeng finally came to his senses. His eyes fell on the horses tied beside Qin Tiansi, and he saw several Qin Tiansi agents standing at the door.

"Then what... let me lend you your horse!"

"..."

Outside the palace gate.

There are countless obstacles and traps outside the palace gate, surrounded by densely patrolled Forbidden Army.

Countless imperial troops surrounded the entire palace and defended it tightly.

Countless forbidden troops were waiting in full formation, as if waiting for some imminent threat.

Not far away, the sound of horse hooves gradually came.

Immediately afterwards, a figure slowly approached the palace gate on horseback.

When they saw this figure appearing in everyone's sight, the eyes of the imperial guards at the door condensed, and they all cheered up.

They have to pay attention to the people who come!

The horse gradually approached and its pace gradually slowed down.

Not long after, the figure in white appeared in everyone's sight.

It's her!

At this moment, countless people felt their hearts skip a beat.

Princess!

Sure enough, it was the eldest princess, and the eldest princess was still alive.

The eldest princess...is back? ! !

As Zhao Ying got closer and closer, there was a commotion among the forbidden troops at the door, and soon a man who looked like a general walked to the front and knelt on one knee.

"My subordinates pay their respects to the eldest princess!"

At the same time, other forbidden troops also bowed their heads and saluted.

Zhao Ying's beautiful eyes swept over these people and said coldly: "Get out of the way, I want to enter the palace!"

The general raised his head cautiously and glanced at Zhao Ying, then said: "Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess, there are trainings in the palace. Riding horses and carrying weapons are not allowed in the palace..."

"What if I have to take you with you?"

Zhao Ying glanced at this person coldly.

The general's eyelids suddenly twitched, and the eldest princess really came with bad intentions.

"this……"

The general's face showed a look of embarrassment: "Princess, you are making things difficult for your subordinates..."

The eldest princess is riding a horse and carrying a sword to enter the palace. This is obviously a bad person. They must not let the eldest princess enter the palace like this.

"Princess, you are not allowed to ride horses or carry weapons in the palace. This is the decree of the late emperor. You are making things difficult for your subordinates..."

"Are you using my father to pressure me?"

Zhao Ying looked at him coldly.

"My subordinates dare not..."

The soldier quickly shook his head: "It's just..."

"Get away!"

Before the soldier could finish speaking, Zhao Ying spoke impatiently.

"Before I get angry!"

The general's eyelids twitched even more. The eldest princess was completely unreasonable.

"Princess, I..."

"Bang!"

Before the general could speak, his face suddenly changed in the next second, and he wanted to resist unexpectedly.

However, he had no time to react, and his body flew out and fell heavily to the ground.

Suddenly, the imperial guards outside the door drew their swords in unison.

"What? Are you going to attack me?"

Who knew that Zhao Ying's cold eyes swept across everyone's faces.

The cold eyes made everyone present feel cold, and for a moment, no one dared to move.

The order they received was to stop the princess outside the palace gate, but... why should they stop her.

Who dared to stop her?

It was natural for the princess to enter the palace, and they dared not stop her, nor could they stop her!

Now that His Majesty has passed away, there is chaos in the court.

With the return of the princess, everyone realized that this might be a struggle between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess.

As imperial guards in the palace, they did not want to get involved.

Therefore, everyone could only watch the princess deal with the blind general, then slowly rode closer and came to the palace gate step by step.

"Open the door!"

She said coldly.

The imperial guards at the door woke up as if from a dream, looked up at their accomplices for help, but the other accomplices seemed to turn a blind eye and completely ignored their accomplices' eyes for help.

The imperial guards at the door gritted their teeth. Since everyone was pretending to be dead, he didn't care.

"Open the door!"

The palace gate slowly opened.

Then, Zhao Ying rode slowly into the palace.

Not far behind him, Li Beifeng, who was late in a hurry, finally caught up with Zhao Ying.

"Wait for me!"

The imperial guards outside the door could only watch the two enter the palace.

Li Beifeng rode to catch up with Zhao Ying, walked side by side with her, and looked back at her: "What are you going to do?"

Zhao Ying did not answer his question, but just looked up and stared ahead.

Li Beifeng followed her gaze and looked forward. In the distance ahead was the entrance to the main hall.

At this time, the main hall was covered with white cloth, which looked particularly gloomy.

Li Beifeng's eyes subconsciously glanced at the city gate. This heavy rain really washed away all the evil in the darkness.

He clearly remembered that a few nights ago, there was a river of blood and corpses everywhere.

However, everything has returned to calm at this moment, as if nothing had happened.

Is this the cruelty of the struggle for imperial power?

Li Beifeng slowly gathered his mind. He was not interested in the struggle within the royal family of Dazhao.

Zhao Jing's current power is a foregone conclusion. Zhao Ying's appearance now is not a good decision.

She entered the palace alone, and might even get into big trouble.

However, Li Beifeng did not dissuade her. He could not dissuade her.

More importantly, he had to enter the palace.

Xie Wan'er was brought into the palace by Zhao Jing, and Li Beifeng had to take her away safely.

At this moment, several figures suddenly appeared in front of him.

Then, hurried footsteps approached.

"Princess!"

With a wailing sound, several figures almost stumbled to Zhao Ying's horse at a trot.

When they saw Zhao Ying on horseback, they all showed surprise and excitement on their faces.

"Princess, you are okay, it's really great!"

"I knew that you would have good fortune after surviving a disaster!"

"Princess, we are all counting on you now..."

"..."

Judging from the clothes on these people, they should all be officials in the court, and even their official ranks should not be low.

However, the excitement on their faces could not be concealed at this time, as if they had seen a savior... What happened to make them so excited?

Zhao Ying's eyes also swept over several people, and she knew them all.

"Master Chen, Master Wu, what's wrong with you?"

The most excited person in the lead was the military doctor of Dazhao.

At this moment, he lowered his voice and said, "Princess, His Majesty has passed away... His Majesty was in good health, and was suddenly assassinated. There must be a conspiracy behind this..."

"This matter is definitely related to the prince!"

Earlier, Chen Langzhong was gaining momentum in the court and wanted to postpone Zhao Jing's enthronement, but as Prime Minister Su spoke, everything was settled.

Chen Langzhong was unwilling to accept it!

Everyone knew that there was something strange about His Majesty's death, and even everyone suspected... His Majesty's death was related to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

But, what can we do?

His Majesty has passed away, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the only heir.

Without evidence, no one can change the current facts.

I had already felt hopeless until I learned that the eldest princess had returned safely not long ago.

This made Chen Langzhong very excited, as if he had grabbed the last straw.

His previous momentum in the court had completely put him on the opposite side of Zhao Jing.

If he really waited until Zhao Jing ascended the throne and then went back to settle accounts, he would definitely not have a good ending.

Therefore, at this moment, Doctor Chen found Zhao Ying.

"Princess, you, you must investigate the truth..."

"..."

Not only Doctor Chen, but also several other ministers were full of hope.

The eldest princess is not dead yet, great!

She is the only one who can compete with Zhao Jing now, and the only one who can make Zhao Jing afraid.

With the eldest princess, things can still turn around.

Not finished yet, refresh it later

"this……"

The general's face showed a look of embarrassment: "Princess, you are making things difficult for your subordinates..."

The eldest princess is riding a horse and carrying a sword to enter the palace. This is obviously a bad person. They must not let the eldest princess enter the palace like this.

"Princess, you are not allowed to ride horses or carry weapons in the palace. This is the decree of the late emperor. You are making things difficult for your subordinates..."

"Are you using my father to pressure me?"

Zhao Ying looked at him coldly.

"My subordinates dare not..."

The soldier quickly shook his head: "It's just..."

"Get away!"

Before the soldier could finish speaking, Zhao Ying spoke impatiently.

"Before I get angry!"

The general's eyelids twitched even more. The eldest princess was completely unreasonable.

"Princess, I..."

"Bang!"

Before the general could speak, his expression suddenly changed in the next second, and he was caught off guard and wanted to resist.

However, before he had time to react, his body flew out and fell heavily to the ground.

Suddenly something happened, and the Imperial Guards outside the door all drew their swords.

"What? Are you going to take action against me?"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ying's cold eyes swept across everyone's faces.

The cold gaze chilled the hearts of everyone present, and for a moment, no one dared to move.

The order they received was to stop the eldest princess from the palace gate, but... why should they stop her.

Who dares to stop it?

It is only natural that the eldest princess wants to enter the palace, they dare not stop her, and they cannot stop her!

Now that His Majesty has passed away, the court is in chaos.

With the return of the eldest princess, everyone realized that this was probably a struggle between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the eldest princess.

As the imperial guards in the palace, they did not want to get involved.

Therefore, everyone could only watch helplessly as the eldest princess dealt with the short-sighted general, then slowly approached on horseback, and arrived outside the palace gate step by step.

"Open the door!"

She spoke coldly.

The imperial guard at the door just woke up from a dream, raised his head and looked at his accomplices for help. However, the other accomplices seemed to turn a blind eye and completely ignored the accomplices' eyes asking for help.

The imperial guard at the door gritted his teeth. Since everyone was pretending to be dead, he didn't care.

"Open the door!"

The palace door slowly opened.

Afterwards, Zhao Ying entered the palace slowly on horseback.

Not far behind him, Li Beifeng, who had arrived late in a hurry, finally followed Zhao Ying's footsteps.

"Wait for me!"

The imperial guards outside the door could only watch the two people enter the palace.

Li Beifeng followed Zhao Ying on horseback, walked side by side with her, and looked back at her: "What are you going to do?"

Zhao Ying did not answer his question, but just raised her head and stared ahead.

Li Beifeng followed her gaze and looked ahead. Far ahead was the entrance to the hall.

At this time, the area around the main hall was covered with white cloths, making it look particularly gloomy.

Li Beifeng glanced subconsciously at the city gate. This heavy rain really washed away all the sins in the darkness.

He clearly still remembered the night a few days ago, when there was a river of blood and corpses everywhere.

However, everything had already returned to calm at this moment, as if nothing had happened.

Is this the cruelty of the struggle for imperial power?
