The Crown Princess is reborn and returns to subvert the world

He said anxiously, "The emperor is really waiting at the funeral palace. When he heard that the late emperor's coffin had arrived at the city gate, the emperor wanted to come to greet him in person. But I, an old minister, saw that he was in so much grief that I took the initiative to go there for him."

"The prince and princess both shook their heads. Could it be that they don't want the late emperor's coffin to enter the city?"

Jixiang shook his head again.

Lan Xing'an didn't know what Jixiang meant for a moment. "Please tell me clearly, Princess. If the prince and princess really don't intend to let the late emperor's coffin enter the city, I will go back and report to the emperor. Don't let him continue to wait in the funeral palace."

"The late emperor's coffin must be brought into the city. After all, the emperor is the emperor of the Great Saint Dynasty. The burial ceremony after his death must be carried out according to the emperor's regulations. How can we let him stop outside the city and bury him hastily?"

Lan Xing'an was finally relieved, "Then please ask Your Majesty to carry the coffin into the city."

Jixiang smiled faintly, "Master Prime Minister, if you say that we should enter the city, should we enter the city? How do I know that there are no people lying in ambush to kill us in your city?"

Lan Xing'an and Tian Muyu were stunned almost at the same time.

Tian Muyu immediately turned his gaze to Lan Xing'an, his eyes filled with a bit of coldness, "Prime Minister Lan, do you think my Sixth Uncle is really waiting for my father in the funeral palace?"

Lan Xing'an's eyes dodged for a moment, but he soon swore, "I am only here to bring the late emperor's coffin into the palace. How could I have lied to Your Majesty? If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can go directly into the city to check."

"Of course we have to check it." Jixiang said, and he rode his horse towards the city gate.

However, when she was near the city gate, she did not go straight into the city. Instead, she threw out a rope and climbed onto the city wall.

Before he could even stand firmly, a large number of arrows came down from the city wall.

Tian Muyu was shocked and flew to save Jixiang.

At this time, Jixiang turned around and flew towards this side.

Those dense arrows were swept away by her whip, and not a single one hit her.

Lan Xing'an was shocked when he saw this.

"Princess, when did you become so good at martial arts?"

"You, Prime Minister Lan, have to ask her in person." No sooner said than done, Tian Muyu's long sword crossed Lan Xing'an's neck.

"Prince, Prince, what are you doing?" Lan Xing'an was a little flustered.

"If the princess hadn't risked her life, Prime Minister Lan, we would have fallen into the ambush you set in advance. I'm afraid the Sixth Uncle is not waiting for us in the funeral palace, but is waiting for the news of his death in the main hall."

At this time, Jixiang had already escaped the range of the cold arrows and rode over on his horse.

She jumped off her horse and ran straight towards Lan Xing'an, slapping him in the face. "You bastard, you dare to harm us without caring about your reputation!"

As he spoke, he slapped them a few more times, leaving Lan Xingan, Tian Muyu and others stunned.

Zhao Jian, who was standing next to him, wanted to step forward to stop them, but when he saw Jixiang's angry face, he hesitated for a moment and stepped back.

Lan Xing'an hadn't encountered such a scene in many years, and he was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe, "Princess Ning, you, you dare to hit me?! I, I will definitely report you and the prince to the emperor!"

"Hmph," Jixiang said disdainfully, "I'm afraid you can't go back." Then he said to Xiong Er, "Tie him up for me! I want to use him to light a perpetual lamp for Emperor Li Kang of my Great Saint Dynasty!"

Soldiers immediately came up and tied Lan Xing'an tightly.

Lan Xing'an was furious. "Tian Muyu, are you going to let your princess act like this? If you dare to treat me like this, the emperor will definitely not let you off easily!"

At this time, seeing that Lan Xing'an was under control, the soldiers at the city gate quickly retreated and quickly closed the city gate.

Therefore, Tian Muyu and others were locked outside the city.

Zhao Jian was worried, "Prince, Princess, if we can't enter the city, the army will be stationed outside, and the food and grass alone will be a big problem."

Jixiang turned to look at Zhao Jian, "General Zhao, don't worry about not having food to eat. This is not a big deal. Moreover, if we can capture the imperial city soon, the prince and I will give you a big reward, fifty taels each!"

Zhao Jian was stunned.

Tian Muyu was also confused. With an army of 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and 50 taels per person, that would be a million taels! He, he really didn't have that much silver.

But Jixiang said it calmly, and it didn't seem like he was fooling anyone.

Xiong Er knew Jixiang's character. He was a man of his word and never followed through. So he jumped on his horse and said loudly to the army, "The prince and princess have ordered us to attack the city gate and try to capture the imperial city as soon as possible. If we capture the imperial city, all soldiers will be rewarded according to their merits, with a minimum of fifty taels per person!"

When the soldiers heard that there were fifty taels of silver to be taken, they immediately cheered.

"Take down the Imperial City, take down the Imperial City!"

The sound was like an earth-shaking earthquake, and it chilled Tian Qiquan, who was hiding inside the city gate, to the point of feeling chilled to the bone.

Yes, he did bring people to the city gate. Beside him stood eight personal guards, all of whom were young and stern.

Behind them were the massive imperial guards from the North and South cities, all of them on high alert, ready to engage in a life-and-death battle with Prince Ning's men.

Tian Qiquan was panicked for a while before he calmed down. Now all the city gates were closed, and Tian Muyu and his men only had about 20,000 people. How could they possibly break into the city?

Moreover, he has arranged other people around him, and it is not certain who will win next.

After thinking this, Tian Qiquan strode towards the city wall.

He climbed up the steps of the city wall step by step, just as he had climbed up to that high position step by step.

Since he was a child, his mother told him not to think about that position, because that position did not belong to him. There were the crown prince, the eldest prince, the second prince, etc. before him, and there was no place for him.

But he was unwilling to accept it. Why could he not have that position when they were both sons of his father?

Why can't they have the same power and status when their father is the same person but their mother is different?

He was not willing to live an obedient life all his life, he had his own goals and ideals, and he would definitely work hard to achieve them.

That's why he went to his father, asking for a fair chance, but his father told him that the throne could only belong to the crown prince, because he was the legitimate prince and the most qualified person to inherit his throne.

The emperor also warned him not to covet the position of crown prince, as it did not belong to him, just like his mother could never be the queen.

Hearing his father, who always said he would treat everyone equally, saying that there was a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, and that a person who could not rely on his mother's family would never be able to ascend to the throne, the balance in his heart tilted to one side, and then he pushed his father, who was always so righteous, into the water...

As he climbed up the stairs, the past events followed him like a shadow, but Tian Qiquan didn't care about it. He had already sat on the highest position in the Great Saint Dynasty and became the tenth emperor of the Great Saint Dynasty. That was enough. Everything else just needed to be handled step by step.

For example, he is going to meet his nephew who likes to cause trouble for him.
