"He is the prince's counselor. Isn't the treasure the prince wants to obtain my throne?"
The emperor smiled sadly, "He is already the crown prince. As long as he makes no mistakes, this position will be his sooner or later! Is he so impatient to wait?!"
Xiao Yuchen looked at the "medicine boy" with burning eyes.
"He didn't recognize you, did he?"
The medicine boy shook his head and chuckled, "Your Majesty, you should have confidence in your abilities? Do you have no confidence in me?"
Xiao Yuchen shook his head quickly, "Don't dare, Jin'er will succeed in no time!"
"The preparation is almost done, let's let the 'assassin' take action!" Wen Jin nodded to Yu Fei.
Yu Fei also had a different appearance at this time, but he looked somewhat similar to Zhou Xin who was locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
Yu Fei picked up the prepared decoction and strode outside Mr. Chu's room.
"Who is it?" the guard shouted sharply.
Mr. Chu in the room was startled like a frightened bird.
"The curator asked me to deliver the decoction." Yu Fei said.
The guard checked her waistband and let her in.
"You...who are you? Where was the little medicine boy just now?" Mr. Chu retreated defensively.
Yu Fei wore a thick towel on his face, covering his mouth and nose.
She also wore fine cotton gloves on her hands.
The only skin she showed was her eyes.
And her eyes were decorated to be most similar to that of Zhou Xin.
"Zhou...Zhou Xin?"
"No! Impossible! Zhou Xin was caught by them! Who are you?!"
Yu Fei ignored him.
She walked to the table, put down the tray, and picked up the medicine bowl, "Mr. Chu, it's time to drink medicine!"
Sen Leng's deep voice was filled with murderous intent.
Mr. Chu's face turned pale, "You... you were sent to silence me... Help! Someone is here! Hurry..."
He yelled at the door.
Yu Fei held the bowl with one hand and pinched his face with the other, forcing him to open his mouth.
She picked up the medicine bowl and poured the medicine into his mouth.
"Don't blame the master for being cruel! Who told you to know too much? Only the dead can keep secrets!" Yu Fei gritted his teeth, his voice fierce.
"Well..." Mr. Chu struggled and tried his best to spit out the thick black soup, "I am loyal to the prince! He actually did this to me!
"You idiot! There's Zhou Xin in front of you! There's me in the back! He will kill anyone who doesn't do things well...
"Do you think you can survive after killing me?"
Yu Fei frowned, showing some hesitation.
Mr. Chu saw that he had persuaded the assassin sent to kill him.
"The prince once poisoned his father to kill his father! He was destroyed by the son of the pregnant princess!
"Seeing that the emperor's health is getting worse and worse... but because of Princess Huai's excellent medical skills, she has been caring for the emperor!
"Although the emperor is old now, he looks healthier than in previous years! He is more youthful and powerful!
"That's why the prince has murderous intentions towards Princess Huai! Princess Huai is a stumbling block on the prince's way to the throne!
"Zhou Xin died for this! I also want to be silenced because of these secrets!
"You also know these secrets! If you kill me, do you think you can survive? Today the prince has silenced me, and tomorrow he will silence you too!"
Wow!
The bowl in Yu Fei's hand fell to the ground.
The thick black concoction spilled all over Mr. Chu.
"You...why are you telling me this?"
Mr. Chu laughed loudly, "The rabbit bites people when it is anxious! If you want to silence me, you should die with me!"
…
Mr. Chu didn’t know.
This house and the house not far away have already buried "listening urns".
There are also intelligence officers from the Imperial City Division who specialize in eavesdropping.
Every move he makes here can be heard clearly!
The emperor's face suddenly turned dark and swollen like a pig's liver.
"Father, calm down...the dragon body is important!" Xiao Yuchen and Wen Jin hurriedly advised.
The emperor looked at him deeply and then at Wen Jin, "You are all my good children, especially Jin'er..."
Wen Jinfu nodded, "This is what a daughter-in-law should do. I don't dare to take credit."
The emperor nodded, "Gao Xing, return to the palace!"
Xiao Yuchen escorted the emperor and left the courtyard disguised as the "Six Disease Pavilion".
After leaving this courtyard, you will find the formal courtyard of Prince Huai's Mansion.
The emperor got into the carriage parked outside the Hanging Flower Gate.
The carriage drove slowly toward the side door.
The side door of the palace has just opened——
Swish, swish, swish - dense rain of arrows, overwhelming!
Dang Dang Dang...
The arrow hit the carriage wall, the horse, and the coachman!
"Ouch——"
"ah--"
"Escort me!"
The sudden attack caused the emperor's expression in the carriage to change drastically.
"What's going on?" The emperor said before he finished speaking.
An arrow broke through the window and hammered into the carriage wall in front of him.
"Protect the Emperor!" Gao Xing immediately stood up and protected the Emperor with his own flesh and blood.
The horses were hit by arrows and started neighing and jumping wildly.
Although the groom was hit by an arrow, he still held on to the reins tightly.
Xiao Yuchen turned over and dismounted. Amidst the dense rain of arrows, he jumped onto the carriage and cut off the rope that tied the horse.
"Father, sit still!"
He pushed the carriage with his bare hands and pushed it back to the side entrance of the palace.
The driver fell behind him.
The servant of the palace, Gu Yuan, desperately waved his sword behind him to block the rain of arrows.
"Close the door!" Xiao Yuchen yelled.
He struggled to push the carriage into the courtyard, and the side door of the palace was barely closed behind him.
The nanmu carriage was quite heavy, and even though Xiao was extremely strong, he almost lost all his strength.
"Father, are you okay?"
"Your Majesty, it's bad! Prince Huai's Mansion is surrounded!"
"You can't get out of the front door, the back door, or even the corner door!"
The emperor got down from the carriage.
He originally looked ugly, but now he had regained his composure.
"Whose troops are outside? Who leaked the news that I left the palace incognito?" The emperor looked at the people around him with a sullen face.
Many of Xiao Yuchen and his bodyguards were in trouble and looked very miserable.
At this time, outside the courtyard and on the walls of the courtyard, there were still guards from Prince Huai's Mansion, fighting bloody battles.
Several of the emperor's personal guards were also injured, while the others looked tense and did not dare to say anything.
"Father, please go to the main courtyard to escape first!" Xiao Yuchen stayed by the emperor's side.
But at this moment, the melee stopped for a moment.
There was a cry from outside.
"Xiao Yuchen kidnapped his father and plotted rebellion! Such a rebellious, unfaithful and unfilial person - everyone will punish him!"
When the people in the yard heard this, their expressions tightened.
The emperor's pupils trembled, "It's the prince..."
It was the prince's voice outside the door!
The prince really chose the right time to rebel!
At this time, the emperor was incognito in Prince Huai's Mansion!
If King Huai goes out, he won’t be able to tell how many times he will open his mouth!
"I'm going! I don't believe it. They dare to shoot arrows when they see me!" The emperor's face was tense, and the muscles on his face were shaking with anger.
"Father, please don't go out!" Wen Jin hurried over.
This change happened so suddenly that they were caught off guard.
"If there are only the Prince's Twelve Guards outside... then whatever the Prince says will be whatever!
"Wait a little longer! There is such a big commotion in Kyoto! There is no way that the Jinwu Guards and the Shenwu Army will not come!
"As long as you protect the emperor and wait for reinforcements to arrive! You will be able to explain clearly!"
Although Wen Jin was nervous, she was not panicked at all. Her face was calm and decisive, which is rare for a housewife.
When the emperor heard this, he hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly... After all, people's hearts are the most afraid of gambling!
"I will lead people to guard outside, and you can protect my father and return to the inner courtyard!" Xiao Yuchen said to Wen Jin.
Wen Jin was about to agree when suddenly countless darts fell from the sky!
"Don't even think about leaving!"
