Travel through space and help the prince’s husband in construction

At this time, a group of mysterious reinforcements came from outside the palace. They were well-trained and quickly joined the battle to assist the Royal Guards in resisting the rebels.

Who are these mysterious reinforcements? Why do they appear at the critical moment?

It turned out that the third prince and the fourth prince had been prepared. They secretly contacted some loyal generals and martial arts masters to form a secret army.

This army had been waiting for the right moment, and now it finally showed its strong fighting power. With the help of the mysterious reinforcements, they attacked from both inside and outside. The rebel leader saw that the situation was hopeless and had to break out of the encirclement.

There were several magic masters among the rebels. They were the chief officer's confidants. When they saw that the situation was not good, they guarded the chief officer.

The commander asked them to find a way to lead the remaining soldiers to break out of the encirclement and retreat.

These people cooperated with each other tacitly and quickly used magic to open a gap in the encirclement. With the protection of these magic masters, the rebels fought and retreated.

The reinforcements that the Third and Fourth Princes had gathered were not many in number, but they all had their own strengths. There were also a few who knew magic. They used magic to fight back against the magic attacks of the rebels without hesitation.

For a moment, the scene outside the palace was extremely terrifying, with flying sand and rocks, ice swords and fireballs coming and going, making everyone inside terrified, and the rebels quickly rushed out.

Because after the magic attack, the two sides fought in a melee and hand-to-hand combat, so magic, feather arrows and Gatling guns could not be used, and they dared not use drugs. The guards did not know whether the reinforcements had taken the antidote pills in advance.

Everyone was using their swords, spears and halberds to hack and kill each other, and the scene was extremely bloody.

After fierce spell bombardment and close combat, both sides suffered serious casualties. The rebels suffered more casualties. However, most of them managed to escape the encirclement.

Although the Royal Guards were in an advantageous position, they did not dare to pursue far, fearing that they would be tricked into leaving the mountain. Protecting the king and his ministers in the palace was the most important task.

The reinforcements sent by the Third and Fourth Princes chased after the rebels from afar, constantly casting long-range attack spells.

More than a hundred rebels were captured. At this point, the rebels had lost all hope of victory and only wished they had two less legs, and could not wait to escape from this terrifying pursuit.

However, Prince Jiayang did not give up, he had a backup plan. After the melee, his confidants used their last trick - they pretended to be servants in the palace, ignited a powerful explosive pack hidden in the palace, and threw it towards the palace where the king and his men were.

The explosive pack exploded in the palace, causing great chaos. Fortunately, the explosive pack was dropped a few meters off the target, and the explosion took place in the small garden outside the king's bedroom.

The huge explosion frightened the king, the palace guards, and the servants. At the same time, the destructive force of the explosion also blew the flowers and plants in the garden into powder. A big pit was blown out of the small garden.

The pebbled path in the garden was blown up, and pebbles of all sizes and soil were blown everywhere.

The window frames, door panels, and columns of the palace were hit by pebbles. Some pebbles also smashed shell tiles and small wooden window panes and flew into the study room next to the window of the bedroom.

Fortunately, no one was inside. The servants in the yard also protected the king and hid in the secret room during the fight. So no one was injured.

However, the loud noise and destructive force of the explosion frightened the king and his men so much that they dared not go out to investigate the situation. The king anxiously hid in the secret room and dared not come out.

The third and fourth princes knew that their father was hiding in the secret room and was safe. So after the rebels retreated, they immediately arranged for the guards to clean up the battlefield and arranged for the imperial doctors and nearby doctors to stop the bleeding and treat the wounds of the injured guards.

They planned to deal with the matters outside and then go to the king's bedroom to visit their father.

The third and fourth princes shouted, "Father, the rebels outside have retreated. Please return to the palace. We will send someone to clean up the outside of the palace now, and then we will bring you some medicine to calm your nerves."

Then, the third and fourth princes left the king's bedroom. They were avoiding suspicion. The secret rooms and secret passages in the king's bedroom were only known to the king, his personal maid, and the chief steward. No one else knew.

The old king, the nanny and the chief steward who were accompanying him heard the shouts of the third and fourth princes, and then heard their footsteps leaving. The three of them quietly moved the mechanism and came out of the secret passage in the wall.

The chief steward, following the king's order, hurried to check the situation outside. He ran in a few moments later, looking not very happy, as if he was frightened.

The steward told the king that the big pit in the garden was three feet deep and more than six feet in diameter.

It was obvious that the rebels wanted to kill the king. If the explosive pack happened to be thrown outside the window of the bedroom, the entire bedroom would probably be blown down.

The chief steward sighed and flattered the king, saying that the king was blessed with great fortune, so even if the bad guys wanted to harm the king, they could not succeed.

The old king knew that this was the help of Prince Duanjing and the princess. They had said that Jiayang was going to make a big move, so for his safety, they made arrangements outside the palace in advance. This would not alert the enemy, but would also allow Jiayang to reveal his hidden strength and conspiracy.

The old king was concerned about the casualties of the guards. The chief steward didn't know the casualties at the moment, because the third and fourth princes were in charge of this matter.

The chief steward tried his best to tell the king what he had just learned. He only heard that more than 20 rebels were killed and more than 300 were captured. Most of the rest were injured and escaped.

After the king understood the situation, he waited for the third and fourth princes to come back and hear what they had to say.

The old king was always unsure because he didn't hear the exact number of casualties on his side.

The guards outside the palace were all his personal soldiers, and the people he trusted the most. He hoped that all of them were safe and sound.

The third and fourth princes divided their work and soon calmed the situation outside. They came together to see their father and brought three bowls of soothing medicine.

When the two princes saw that the king was accompanied by his nanny and the chief steward and looked unhappy, they immediately stepped forward to comfort him.

After the chief steward personally tested the poison, the third prince handed the calming medicine to the nanny, who helped the old king drink the medicine.

The remaining two bowls of medicine remained untouched. The fourth prince said, "Mammy and the chief steward were both frightened along with father, so each of you should drink one bowl of the medicine to calm your nerves!"

The nanny and the chief steward were flattered. As slaves, although they had the highest status among the servants, they were still slaves around the master. How could they be treated like this?

The king nodded with great satisfaction when he saw his two sons think highly of his trusted confidants. He also told his two most loyal confidants to drink the medicine.

After the three of them drank the tranquilizer, the third and fourth princes told the king in detail about the situation outside.

The third prince said, "Because our guards were well prepared and wore soft armor under their outer clothes to protect against swords and guns, no guards died. The seriously injured guards have also been properly treated.

Because they had stockpiled special healing medicines purchased from Prince Duanjing's mansion in advance, the doctors only needed to check the guards' injuries, then arrange for disinfection accordingly and apply special healing medicines for bandaging.

After treating the wounds, the wounded were given hemostatic tablets and special pills for treating external injuries.

All the special medicines for internal and external use were used, and the soldiers' injuries were quickly brought under control."

The king was very pleased to hear such a result. If he had not received the guidance and help of Prince Duanjing and the princess in advance, he would have suffered heavy casualties in this palace coup, and even his life might not be saved.

Prince Duanjing and his wife were truly his great benefactors, and also the great benefactors of the palace servants and guards.

The old king couldn't help but sigh. Those two not only saved his life several times, but also saved the lives of so many servants and guards in the palace. He didn't know how to repay them.

"You did a great job in quelling the rebellion so smoothly this time," the king praised. "But we still need to be vigilant. Jiayang failed this time and will surely come back in the future. We must be fully prepared."

The third and fourth princes responded in unison, and then said, "Father, the remnants of the rebels have not yet been completely eliminated. We should seize the opportunity to pursue them and catch them all in one fell swoop to prevent future troubles."

The king nodded slightly to show his agreement. He looked at his two sons firmly and said, "Remember not to take it lightly and make sure to completely eradicate the rebels. Also, comfort the frightened people."

After the third and fourth princes calmed their father down, they gathered the panicked servants in the palace together.

At the same time, they ordered the guards to strengthen the defense around the bedroom, and ordered to catch the person who put the explosives. But the person's Qinggong was too powerful, and he ran away immediately after throwing the gunpowder.

Although not all the rebels were captured, and Prince Jiayang did not show up in person during this process, after this fierce battle, the power of Prince Jiayang's men was weakened.

More importantly, the magicians under his command and the cultivators he invited later were severely damaged in this operation. Their hope for Prince Jiayang was becoming increasingly slim.

In the chaotic chase, the two princes invited masters and confidants to quietly follow the leader of the rebels and eventually discovered the hiding place of a mysterious man in black.

It turned out that the man was hiding in a farm outside the city, where he was waiting for the results of the operation.

When he saw the rebel leader coming back dejected, his heart sank, and his expectations were once again turned to ashes. Without asking the result, he sat down on the chair in disappointment, lamenting why the recent operations were going against him.

The two princes' confidants sneaked into the farm to find out who the leader was meeting with and what secrets they were going to discuss.

However, when they approached the manor, they found that it was full of traps.

They carefully avoided the traps, quietly flew to the roof, and used the golden hook to hang upside down to poke a small hole in the window paper. They looked inside and listened to what the people inside said.

But the man in black inside was wearing a big hat and his face could not be seen at all.

When the leader reported to the man in black, he called him "master".

The two confidants sent by the two princes thought that the man in black might be Prince Jiayang.

However, they could not confirm the other party's identity and could only listen carefully to the other party's report, which was everything that had just happened.

When Prince Jiayang learned that the operation had failed and the explosive pack had not harmed the king's life, he became furious, but then suddenly calmed down.

Prince Jiayang asked why the bomb was not thrown near the king's palace? He also asked what the effect of the bomb was after it exploded.

The man in black was thinking, if the amount of explosives is not large enough, then he can pack more explosives next time and make a few more explosive packs. Will that ensure that the king will be killed in one blow?

The leader described the situation truthfully. The explosive pack was originally ignited by his confidant.

The confidant was afraid of being caught by the guards who were searching for the remnants of the rebels, so he appeared in the palace disguised as a servant. Taking advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, he immediately took out the explosive pack he had hidden under a thorny plum tree, intending to ignite it and throw it into the king's palace to complete the assassination mission.

However, just as he took out the tinder and was about to light it, a big bird came from nowhere and snatched the tinder away.
