Lu Siheng was ordered by the Fourth Prince to rush to Prince Kang's Mansion. He did not rush in with his men, but quietly found out about the rebels and the situation inside, and made arrangements before rushing in.

Under the combined efforts of everyone, the rebels were defeated.

Li Yuanxin released the guards in Prince Kang's Mansion who were controlled by the rebels, and asked them to take custody of the rebels who were still angry despite losing their armor.

King Kang and other distinguished ministers also came out of the hall.

Lu Siheng put away his weapon and stepped forward to salute.

"The Fourth Highness sent you here? How is the situation in the palace now?" King Kang asked with his hands behind his back.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince learned that you and your gentlemen are trapped, and specially ordered us to come." Lu Siheng took out the military talisman, "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince led the imperial army to defend the imperial city, and asked King Kang to mobilize troops from the suburbs of Beijing for reinforcements."

King Kang took it with both hands and held the military talisman again, rekindling his ambition and bravery in his youth when he took the enemy's head among thousands of troops.

"The Fourth Highness trusts me so much, I will definitely live up to your trust!"

Lu Siheng continued: "His Royal Highness orders all of you to stabilize public order in the capital, appease the people, and not to cause panic or unrest."

"Your Majesty, take your orders -" the ministers present said in unison.

After Lu Siheng finished conveying the message, he clasped his fists at Prince Kang and said, "We have completed His Highness's instructions and have to rush back to help His Highness. We'll take our leave first."

"Wait, I'll go with you." Cui Qiyan said.

Lu Siheng nodded, "Master Cui has extraordinary skills. With your help, His Highness will be even more powerful."

After Cui Qiyan left with the experts, King Kang also ordered people to prepare horses and go to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing to mobilize troops.

Li Yuanxin and Cui Jun were worried and knew that they could not be persuaded, so they mounted their horses and went with him.

Cui Qiyan and Lu Siheng

When they arrived at the palace, the rebels led by the second prince and Pingyuan Hou had already attacked the last palace gate. The imperial army was struggling to hold on and was about to show signs of decline.

The two of them, along with others from the expert office, immediately joined in.

The fourth prince looked relieved when he saw them, "Is the matter settled?"

Lu Siheng protected the fourth prince and replied: "Yes, your highness, don't worry."

"I know that nothing will go wrong if I leave the matter to you," the fourth prince looked at Cui Qiyan again, "You'an is here too."

Cui Qiyan killed two rebels in a row before turning around and saluting, "Your Highness does not need to personally take part in the danger, your safety is more important. There are ministers waiting here to guard, and my grandfather has already gone to mobilize troops, and they will be here soon." .”

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Wang. The only person I trust now is his old man."

When the second prince saw Cui Qiyan, who was supposed to be trapped in Prince Kang's Mansion, appearing here, he knew something was wrong. He raised the long knife in his hand and said loudly: "Come on! Whoever opens this palace door first, I will Make him a general!"

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. After hearing the second prince's words, the rebels rushed forward as if they had been given blood.

Cui Qiyan and Lu Siheng were engaged with the Second Prince and Pingyuan Marquis respectively, and had no time to care about them.

No matter how tightly the Imperial Guard defended it, they still failed to defend the last palace gate under the fierce attack of the rebels.

The palace door opened wide, and seeing that he was only one step away from the supreme throne, the second prince looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, "Fourth brother, I advise you not to make a useless struggle. The throne is destined to be mine. If you surrender now, I can still do it." Spare your life."

The fourth prince clenched the sword in his hand and stood in the middle of the road leading to the main hall, "It's me who should persuade the second brother to turn back and go the other way.

Don't go any further, otherwise you will be in ruins and be in disgrace for eternity. "

"Successful kings and defeated bandits. Since ancient times, history books have been written by the victors. When I sit on that throne, future generations will only sing my praises." The second prince raised his sword and pointed it, "And you are the one who will be praised by future generations. The one you despise."

Cui Qiyan and Lu Siheng were guarding the fourth prince, one on the left and the other on the right. Both of them were injured, but they did not flinch in the face of the rebels.

The fourth prince took two steps forward, "Second brother, if you want to pass here, you have to step over me!"

"I gave you a chance, but you chose your own death, so don't blame me for ignoring brotherhood." The second prince's eyes were cruel and bloodthirsty, "Kill anyone who stands in my way!"

"kill--"

Pingyuanhou led the rebels to rush forward.

Under the bright moon, the solemn and majestic palace was shrouded in fighting. Under the night, blood flowed like ink along the white marble steps.

The remaining people from the Forbidden Army and the Expert Office surrounded the fourth prince. They were forced to retreat by the rebels. Not far behind them was the emperor's bedroom.

The fourth prince stood firm and said, "No one is allowed to retreat, I will protect the Holy One to the death!"

After hearing his order, everyone changed from passive to active and rushed forward to fight the rebels to the death.

"Protect the Holy One and arrest the traitors!"

A loud shout rang out from outside the palace gate. When the second prince turned around, he saw King Kang leading the way, with Crown Prince Kang and Duke Ding on the left and right, followed by thousands of troops.

The arrival of the reinforcements directly turned the situation upside down. Pingyuanhou was killed on the spot, the second prince was stripped of his weapons and subdued, and the remaining rebels were defeated.

King Kang escorted the second prince to the emperor's bedroom.

Commander Xue from the expert department was guarding the palace.

“皇

Brother, how are you? "King Kang looked at the ashen emperor lying on the bed, and his heart tightened.

At this moment, the emperor slowly opened his eyes, raised his hand, "Help me up -"

The internal officer who was waiting on the side immediately stepped forward to help him sit up.

The emperor turned his head and saw the second prince kneeling on the ground. He was furious, "Evil! I'm not dead yet, so you can't wait any longer?"

The second prince scratched his neck and said: "Father, you have sat on this throne for more than forty years, it is enough. My sons and ministers are all grandfathers, and you are still a prince. It is ridiculous. You care so much about this throne, son." Naturally, I also want to sit down."

"Cough cough cough..." The emperor coughed loudly in anger.

"Brother, please take care of your dragon body."

"Father, calm down."

King Kang and the Fourth Prince quickly advised.

The emperor gasped and pointed at the second prince with a trembling hand, "Put this evil obstacle in a prison. I don't want to see him again. Ahem -"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The second prince was led down by the Imperial Guards, his maniacal laughter still echoing in the palace.

The emperor looked at King Kang with no sparkle in his eyes, "Is it true that I have sat on this throne for too long?"

"Brother, don't listen to his nonsense. You are a wise king." King Kang couldn't help but think of the greatness and strategy of his royal brother in his prime. Although he has been a little confused in recent years, he is still a wise king. .

"You don't need to say nice things," the emperor seemed to know, and ordered his officials, "Get the jade seal."

Yunling didn't sleep well at the inn that night, and she seemed to hear the shouting of murder again in the hazy state.

At dawn, Lao Ge knocked on her door.

Yunling went over and opened the door.

"Girl, the city gate is open." Lao Ge said impatiently.

Ling suddenly regained her energy after hearing this, "So I can leave the city?"
