King Cheng's face was extremely ugly. If he was just an ordinary person, he would not be afraid of him and would just force him out. However, none of the three people in front of him was easy to provoke.
Marquis Wenxin was in charge of the troops, Qian Baokun was in charge of the money, and Cao Dejiang controlled the mouths of officials up and down the Yushitai.
In the past, these three people were the ones he tried his best to make friends with, but now they are all standing opposite him. No matter which one he offends, Prince Cheng's palace will never have peace in the future.
Seeing that Prince Cheng's face was turning green and white, Gu Helian sneered and said: "Xie Tianyu, what's the use of keeping a few of us? Today's incident cannot be covered up. I have already sent Xu Zhen's identity documents to the capital. A copy of Zhaofu."
"Even if you keep us, her identity as the daughter of the guilty minister will have to be questioned. By then, both you and the Song family will have to be skinned. What can you do to stop us now besides embarrassing yourself?"
King Cheng's face became more and more ugly. He knew that Gu Helian was not a good person. He almost ruined his good deeds back then. How could he let go of the opportunity to deal with him when he caught him this time.
"I can't stop outsiders, but I can always stop you." King Cheng said coldly: "Come here, take down Gu Helian!"
"Xie Tianyu, you are crazy!" Princess Cheng said angrily.
Song Tangning was also annoyed: "Why did the prince arrest Uncle Gu?!"
"Just because he broke into my palace without permission and slandered the current prince."
King Cheng lost face today because of Song Tangning, and everyone knew what he had done. The good reputation he had accumulated over the years was ruined in one day.
He also lost his former kindness towards Tang Ning, and his words were filled with frost.
"I am not qualified to take care of the affairs between you and the Song family, and you are not qualified to deal with the affairs in my palace. Because of you, I have caused unrest in my family, discord between my husband and wife, and even attracted evil thieves from the Gu family who want to tarnish my reputation. Now, This king has ordered the thief to be captured. If you try to stop him and you bump into him, don’t blame me."
After finishing speaking, King Cheng said:
"Get Gu Helian for me!"
The people from Prince Cheng's Mansion gathered around, ready to take action directly. Just as Gu Helian was about to speak, Princess Cheng stepped in front of him and said, "I'll see who of you dares!"
He was stunned for a moment, and saw that the soft and weak girl from before was also blocking him. Although Tang Ning said nothing, she pressed her lips together tightly and expressed her attitude with her almond-shaped eyes.
Upon seeing this, the servants of Prince Cheng's Mansion immediately restrained themselves.
King Cheng was angry: "Pull them away!"
"Sister Aya!"
Someone reached out towards Song Tangning, but before he got close, he felt a cold wind approaching. Lingyin grabbed the person's wrist and bent it hard, and the person immediately screamed.
Mu Feng glanced at Ling Yin in surprise and showed no politeness in his hands. He raised his foot and kicked away the people who gathered around him: "Master, let's go!"
Gu Helian grabbed Princess Cheng and Song Tangning without hesitation and ran outside.
"Get 'em!!"
Before the guests outside walked out of the verandah, they heard voices coming from the four-open flower hall behind them. They subconsciously turned around and saw the head of the Gu family who had previously been dressed in luxurious clothes and had a venomous tongue running out with a look of embarrassment on his face.
Princess Cheng and the girl from the Song family were pulled by him, followed by Prince Cheng and his servants who were chasing after them quickly.
Everyone's expressions changed slightly.
Did Prince Cheng have a falling out with Princess Cheng?
"Xie Tianyu, you are acting cowardly. Do you think that by killing us, you can hide the things you have done?"
As she ran, Gu Helian turned around and scolded: "I knew you were despicable and shameless back then, but now I haven't seen any improvement in my skills for many years. It's a good thing you were born in the royal family. Otherwise, I would have blown your head off if you were so shameless..."
Uh-huh!
A cold light passed by Gu Helian's ear, Mu Feng grabbed the man's arm and threw him away.
Song Tangning was dragged so hard that she couldn't help but cursed in a low voice: "Uncle, can you shut up?"
King Cheng was already furious, but Gu Helian only added fuel to the fire. His mouth was like a sharpened knife, and he didn't see that King Cheng had the intention to kill.
When King Cheng saw Gu Helian reaching out to hold Princess Cheng's waist and avoiding the pursuers, he said angrily: "Catch him for me, don't let him run away!"
Seeing the servant of the Gu family using his sword, and the servants of Prince Cheng's residence seeing blood on their bodies, Prince Cheng even shouted angrily to catch them.
The people in the corridor were walking faster, and no one dared to stay for a long time before turning around and leaving, for fear of being dragged into the whirlpool of Prince Cheng's Mansion and the Song Family.
But who knew that as soon as they arrived in front of the front yard, before they had time to go out, they suddenly heard a "bang" sound, and the front door of Prince Cheng's Mansion was knocked open.
"Who are you, how dare you break into Prince Cheng's Mansion...ah!"
The screams outside suddenly stopped, followed by several screams. Before everyone in the courtyard had time to react, they saw several figures flying in from outside and hitting the ground heavily.
Dust was everywhere, and everyone was so shocked that they almost screamed. As soon as the pace that had been rushing out stopped, they all crowded back. The people walking behind were stepped on by the people in front who suddenly stepped back and screamed in pain.
When the crowd was jostling and chaotic, someone from outside was walking towards this side quickly. The clearly messy but vaguely regular footsteps shocked everyone and raised their heads. They saw a man in black armor in front of the door. The sound of people A's footsteps shocked them and they rushed into the courtyard.
"It's the Black Armored Guard..."
"It's the black-armored guard of the Privy Council!"
The majestic and murderous black-armored guards filed in, and the pressure that hit their faces made people panic. Everyone became quiet and couldn't help but their expressions changed, and even the young girls were so frightened that they trembled.
After the black-armored guards led several servants of Prince Cheng's Mansion into the courtyard with sharp knives, they all dispersed to both sides. After a moment, a crimson figure walked out from behind the crowd.
The crowd was extremely quiet, and then burst into an uproar a moment later.
"It's Governor Xiao..."
"Why is he here?"
Xiao Yan was dressed in a silk-patterned robe, with a tall and slender figure. His cold white face did not look as relaxed and careless as in the past. When he walked in a broad stride, he was like a sharp knife unsheathed, with a strong bow string.
Even though the black-armored guards around him were holding sharp blades and threatening to intimidate others, he alone was still like the blazing sun, and his aura among them was intimidating.
After Xiao Yan entered, he saw his child at a glance. She was dragged by the arm and her clothes were slightly messed up as she ran away. The hairpin on her head was tilted, a few strands of hair fell down, and her injured face was running His face was red and he was panting and miserable.
Someone reached out towards Tang Ning. Xiao Yan's eyes turned cold. He reached out and grabbed the sword of the black armored guard beside him, and threw it forward with his backhand.
The sharp blade whizzed through the man in front of Tang Ning in an instant. When it passed through the body, it was carried away with great force and nailed to the ground heavily.
Blood splashed on Tang Ning's face, making her eyes widen in shock.
"Little Begonia."
Tang Ning turned around quickly. When she saw the person standing not far away, the panic and fear in her heart were instantly replaced by joy: "Brother!"
Xiao Yan's voice was like gravel and cold jade, but his eyes were gentle: "Come here."
