Chapter 468 Escape

No one expected that the second prince would suddenly order an attack. Even the officials who supported him thought that the second prince sent those archers here just to intimidate them.

Seeing the dense arrows coming at him, the civil servant was so frightened that his face turned pale.

The military attaches in the palace responded quickly, but they were not allowed to wear weapons when they entered the palace to mourn.

With bare hands, I couldn't knock down those sharp arrows.

Just when everyone's hearts were sinking, the shovel quickly spun around the officials on Prince Rui's side.

He blocked all the sharp arrows that were shot at him.

Under the protection of the shovel, the officials supporting King Rui were unscathed.

But the officials who supported the second prince were not so lucky.

It wasn't that the second prince asked the Imperial Guard to shoot those officials who supported him.

But the shovel rotated too fast, and many of the sharp arrows that were deflected injured the officials on the Second Prince's side.

Fortunately for the military attache, although he had no weapons, he still had martial arts skills and some people avoided those arrows.

But the civil servants were in misery. The incident happened suddenly and there was no martial arts nearby. Many people were hit by arrows.

Kang Amber is one of them.

Although he was not shot to death, he was hit in the thigh by a sharp arrow and was screaming in pain.

The second prince failed to ascend the throne smoothly, and he was already furious. Seeing that the official he had finally won over was injured, he became even more angry with veins popping out.

Seeing Ning Chuyi leading the imperial guards in a fight with the Imperial Army, he also took a long sword and killed him.

The entire capital was under his control, and the second prince didn't know how those royal guards appeared.

If Zhao Chuanlin hadn't been dead, he would have wanted to grab him by the collar and ask him if he had betrayed him.

The people on King Rui's side were protected tightly by the shovel and couldn't move at all.

Instead, several of the imperial troops on his side were killed by Ning Chuyi, and the second prince couldn't help but point his sword at him.

"Whoever kills this rebellious official and traitor who seeks to usurp the throne will be rewarded heavily by His Highness!"

As soon as he said these words, the military attachés and imperial troops on the second prince's side quickly moved towards Ning Chuyi.

Ling Chu almost laughed out loud at the second prince's shamelessness.

"The Emperor has returned to Beijing and will return to the palace soon. Are you sure you want to continue taking action?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone on Prince Rui's side looked surprised.

The expressions of others changed suddenly, and those who wanted to surround and kill Ning Chuyi hesitated even more.

The second prince's pupils trembled. He didn't expect that the imperial guard just spoke so quietly, but she was still overheard.

After being ruined by Ling Chu again and again, the second prince really wanted to eat her alive.

It's a pity that the big shovel was there and he couldn't move her at all.

Prince Rui glanced at Ling Chu, although he didn't know whether the emperor had really returned to the capital.

But when he saw that someone was afraid, he immediately raised his voice and said, "Your Majesty is kind, you have not made a big mistake before you make a big mistake, it is too late to stop now.

If anyone sincerely repents, I can intercede with the emperor on your behalf and be lenient. "

The second prince has won over many ministers, but not everyone is like Kang Anbo, who sincerely wants him to ascend the throne.

Some of them saw that the prince died, the emperor passed away, and among the remaining adult princes, only the second prince was suitable to succeed.

In desperation, I had no choice but to choose him.

Others were forced to choose sides due to the Second Prince's ruthless tactics.

After learning that the emperor had returned, these people's hearts began to waver, and Prince Rui took the opportunity to promise to help him plead for mercy.

Some generals hesitated and dropped their weapons.

With the first one taking the lead, soon all the officials who were forced to support the second prince came to the side of Prince Rui.

King Rui didn't show it on his face, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

If these people are stubborn, they will still support the second prince. When the emperor returns to Beijing, there will be a bloodbath in the court.

If there was peace and prosperity, these people would be killed.

But now there are Japanese pirates invading in the south and Tatars in the north burning, killing and looting at the border. It is a troubled time.

If the emperor kills all these officials who support the second prince, it will definitely cause turmoil in the court.

This is not a good thing for Jiangshan Sheji.

Seeing that the courtiers that he had spent a lot of effort to win over were pulled back by Ling Chu and Prince Rui in just a few words.

Some people even picked up weapons to fight the forbidden troops in order to make up for their mistakes.

The second prince was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

Unfortunately, the second prince had no intention of fighting anymore.

The Imperial Guards who just came to report the news were his confidants. The Emperor had not only returned to Beijing, but also brought many troops with him.

Even his grandfather Qi Guogong was arrested.

Despite all his unwillingness, the second prince could only yell, "Retreat!"

If the affair between Concubine An Xian and Vice Commander Zhao had not been exposed, and Duke Qi had not been arrested, the second prince might not have escaped.

Even if the emperor was angry with him, he would not kill him for the sake of his mother, concubine and grandfather.

But now the second prince knew that if he didn't escape, there was only one way to die.

Although many officials who had been won over by the second prince turned their backs on the battlefield, there were still many imperial soldiers who fought tooth and nail to protect the second prince.

The emperor may not kill all the civil and military officials who support the second prince, but those imperial soldiers know that the emperor will not forgive them easily.

Seeing the imperial army protecting the second prince and rushing out, Kang Anbo shouted anxiously, "Your Highness, Your Highness, save me."

Kang Anbo shouted very loudly, but it was a pity that the second prince didn't even spare him a glance.

He had too much time to take care of himself, so why would he bring such a burden?

The second prince was protected by the imperial guards. Seeing Ning Chuyi and his men chasing him closely, he suddenly took out a whistle from his neck and put it to his lips.

As the sharp whistle sounded, a dozen expressionless gray-clothed men suddenly appeared from all around.

These were the death warriors trained by the second prince in private, and they were highly skilled in martial arts.

With their help, the imperial guards quickly broke the encirclement of the Jinyiwei.

Ling Chu saw that the second prince had escaped, but did not chase him. It was not that she wanted to let him go, but she was worried about Princess Dingyuan.

The reason why those ladies who went to Yinghua Palace did not return was that they were imprisoned by the second prince's men.

Although Ling Chu put an invisibility talisman on the little hammer, letting it leave the emperor's bedroom and kill the imperial guards who imprisoned those ladies.

But Ling Chu was not sure whether the second prince had a trick.

What if she went to chase the second prince, but someone took the opportunity to attack Princess Dingyuan and others, this was not what she wanted to see.

Although Ling Chu did not chase after the Second Prince, Ning Chuyi led his men to chase after him.

Originally, I thought that even if the Second Prince was protected by the assassins and the imperial guards, he would not be able to escape from the capital.

Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened just after rescuing Princess Dingyuan and the others.

The maids around the Queen Mother ran over in panic, and when they saw Prince Rui's pale face, they knelt down with a plop.

"Your Highness, the Queen Mother... the Queen Mother is missing." (End of this chapter)
