An hour ago.
Hai hour, three quarters.
In the second prince's bedroom.
Song De was panting and rolled over from the sweaty palace maid beside him and lay down.
He stared straight at the ceiling, and a sense of dull emptiness suddenly hit his heart.
"Your Highness..."
The maid on the side had a sweet and shy face, and she went straight into Song De's arms.
Being favored by the second prince is a great joy!
Maybe it can even fly up a branch and become a phoenix.
There is no hope for the prince's concubine. Being a concubine is not impossible...
However, the palace maid only had time to realize half of her sweet dream before she was completely awakened by Song De's two slaps across the face.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
"roll!"
Two slaps, one word, and the little palace maid's mouth was filled with blood, she put on her clothes and ran away.
Looking at the blood on the ground and the bright red on the bed, Song De's heart felt unmoved, and he even felt a sense of boredom.
It's all meaningless.
Song De's worries seemed to weigh heavily, and neither women nor blood could calm his heart!
Song De was upset and asked loudly outside the dormitory: "What time is it?"
The little eunuch hurriedly entered the room and whispered to Song De: "Your Highness, it's three quarters to one hour."
At three o'clock in the morning, the entire palace had already fallen into a deep sleep.
But Song De was tossing and turning, not sleepy at all!
Looking at the submissive little eunuch in front of him, the more Song De looked at him, the more irritated he became.
In four hours, it will be dawn.
At the end of this day, the mother-in-law will be sentenced to death by her father.
And Song De also had to obey the order and go to the imperial mausoleum to observe mourning for three years.
Song De understood that there was not much time left for him.
Since he has to take action sooner or later, why do he still have to suffer here?
Without further ado, take action now!
Song De put on his clothes and stood up, and ordered to the eunuch on the ground: "Prepare your horses, I am leaving the palace!"
When he heard that Song De was leaving the palace, the young eunuch was startled at first, and then a little surprised.
"Your Highness, it's so late and you still have to leave the palace..."
"If His Majesty finds out..."
"boom!"
Song De kicked the little eunuch in the heart and impatiently told the little eunuch to shut up.
"Do you, a eunuch, need to make irresponsible remarks about my affairs?"
"Ready your horse!"
The little eunuch was kicked so hard that he instantly fell into a pool of blood. He could only breathe out, not in.
Seeing that the little eunuch was so vulnerable, Song De couldn't hide the irritation on his face.
"Somebody come!"
"Prepare a horse for me!"
Although all the slaves were just standing guard outside, everyone had already heard clearly what was going on in the room.
No one dared to say anything to stop him. Everyone could only obey Song De's words and do it obediently.
Not long after, Song De took advantage of the darkness and rode on a tall horse. He went all the way to the south gate, Zhuque Gate, and ran towards the south of the city.
Inside the South Camp.
School Captain Shen Da sat alone in front of the window, looking equally sad and unable to sleep.
Ever since the news came from the capital a few days ago that the general had been grounded, the entire Xu family army had become disorganized and had no intention of training.
Especially when they heard the news that the general had been exposed by Prince Rong and would be punished by Emperor Liang in the near future, the Xu family army began to wail continuously.
The last time the Xu family army was slapped in the face by the Shen Gong camp, everyone had a lot of opinions about Prince Rong Song Huan.
Hearing that this time the general was in trouble, and it was actually Prince Rong who was responsible for it, the anger in the hearts of the soldiers of the Xu family army reached its peak!
Some people even suggested that they should ambush Prince Rong on his way back to the palace in advance, so that he could remember it well.
Or, take care of his beautiful little lady and let him taste what it feels like to lose the most important person...
Among them, some people do not want to lose their current favorable conditions and do not know what fate they are about to face.
There are also people who sincerely follow the general and do not want to see the general meet a bleak end.
Obviously, Captain Shen Da is the latter.
He has followed the general for more than twenty years and has long been devoted to him.
Now that the general is in trouble, he is more anxious than anyone else.
However, a few days ago, Li Ping'an brought a disturbing and exciting news.
In order to avenge the general, the second prince decided to rise up.
Inverted!
As a soldier of Daliang, such news really frightened Shen Da and called him treasonous.
However, as a loyal subordinate of the general, Shen Da has no extra choice!
What's more, the second prince is holding a tiger talisman fragment, and his orders are the orders of the general!
The general has an order, who in the entire Xu family army dares to disobey?
The general is in trouble, who in the entire Xu family army dares not to save him!
Shen Da was lost in thought when a noise outside suddenly caught his attention.
"what happened?"
Shen Da frowned and walked out of the room. He saw the second prince surrounded by several people in the center, with an expression on his face that looked a little excited.
Shen Da was secretly shocked.
Could it be... is it tonight?
"Subordinate Shen Da, please pay homage to His Highness the Second Prince!"
Song De waved his hand, signaling Shen Da to get up and talk.
"Colonel Shen, summon all the soldiers of the Xu Family Army in Nanda Camp."
"In an hour, set off towards Prince Rong's Mansion!"
Shen Da was a little surprised: "Your Highness...Prince Rong's Palace?"
"My subordinates thought we were going to..."
Song De's expression was vicious: "When the time comes, I will naturally enter the palace directly and persuade my father to abdicate the throne and make way for someone worthy of his honour."
"But before that, if I don't take Song Huan's head, my heart will be hard to calm down!"
Unexpectedly, Song De actually wanted to go to Prince Rong's mansion first, which made Shen Da hesitate.
"Your Highness, we are working tonight. Time is of the essence and there is no room for any mistakes!"
"If you want to go to Prince Rong's Mansion first, I'm afraid it will delay our time and delay this great opportunity..."
Song De was a little impatient: "I went straight to Huanglong and entered the palace all the way, but Song Huan is outside the palace. Doesn't he become the biggest threat to this operation?"
"How can I, the king, act with peace of mind if he is left outside the palace!"
"Besides, if we just take his head, how much time will be wasted?"
With that said, Song De took out the fragment of the tiger talisman and stared at Shen Da.
"Captain Shen, my uncle has been banned from the general's residence, and Song Huan's 'contribution' is indispensable for this."
"You have been my uncle's loyal subordinate for many years, longer than Li Ping'an has followed my uncle!"
"You should want to kill Song Huan more than anyone else, right?"
Song De's words made Shen Da no longer hesitate.
"yes!"
"My subordinate understands!"
"My subordinates have selected 20,000 elite soldiers and are ready to go at any time!"
"In addition, the remaining 30,000 soldiers are on standby."
"Wait until the news is spread after the matter is completed, and then station outside the palace gate!"
Song De nodded with satisfaction: "Colonel Shen, you have arranged everything well."
"Send someone to notify Li Ping'an. Since the 20,000 soldiers are already in place, let's set off early!"
"However, before setting off, I want to meet Ma Shaoxing."
