Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Chapter 447 Attacking the Palace

"Who do you know, no matter what position he holds, can actually decide to release you?"

Gu Qiongsi followed up by asking, it was not because she was curious, but because she felt that no matter what the position was, one would not dare to act on his own like this.

Unless he knows the commander-in-chief or someone of a higher position.

Sun Xingzhi refused to give more details. "Si'er, is there any point in talking about this at this time? Don't you want me to enter the palace and become a prince?"

He had already planned several versions in his mind, how to find a way to make the emperor and Yu Zhaoyi recognize him as the prince. As long as he became the prince, Gu Qiongsi would follow him even more wholeheartedly.

It was naturally impossible for Gu Qiongsi to deny this matter, but this matter was even more strange.

"How could that be? I am so grateful that Mr. Sun didn't give up on me and was interested in my humble appearance. I am so happy that I can't express myself clearly." Gu Qiongsi smiled and hugged Sun Xingzhi's waist.

Sun Xingzhi then held her in his arms with satisfaction. Before his father and mother recognized him as part of the royal family, Gu Qiongsi had become the only person he could think of and rely on.

It was just a spiritual support. He was too lonely. It had been like this for the past ten years. Even though he knew of Wang Zhuo's existence, he had never regarded Wang Zhuo as his support in his heart.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible to work so hard to obtain honors. All the efforts were earned through one’s own hard work.

What Gu Qiongsi was thinking in his mind was not these at all. Based on his understanding of Wang Zhuo, if he was really able to do something to replace the truth, how could he leave behind the real Third Prince and create trouble for the future Li Junze?

Maybe, the real Third Prince has been killed by him. Even though the Third Prince is his grandson, Wang Zhuo is definitely capable of doing such a thing.

However, now is not the time to dwell on these things. Let's get through the current predicament first. I still have some banknotes in my bag that I can rely on, so I won't make my life too difficult.

The battle at the South Gate was extremely fierce. Although the number of people was not too large, the enemy was the Northern Yan Army, which was known for its bravery in combat, and this time they were all elite troops.

Their plan was already very complete, and they were even more worried that the Jingji Army behind them would come to encircle and suppress them, so they had no intention of fighting to the end.

Sure enough, not long after the war broke out, the drawbridge over the moat outside the north gate was mysteriously lowered, and the city gate was opened from the inside.

Li Junze and Li Xingxian were excited when they saw this situation. They seized the opportunity and led all the remaining people to rush into the capital in one go.

As the sound of "clattering clattering" of horse hooves shook the sky, the news that the Yanbei Army had invaded the capital spread like wildfire, and the archers arranged by the government on both sides of the avenue began to shoot with arrows.

With the "swoosh" sound of arrows flying through the air, people kept falling behind Li Xingxian, some were shot on their horses, and some were shot off their horses.

However, Li Xingxian and Li Junze had no time to care about those things at this moment. Seeing the imperial palace right in front of them, how could they not be excited?

"Charge, everyone, rush into the palace and rescue the emperor." Li Xingxian took the lead and shouted, and the same shout suddenly sounded behind him.

"Rush into the palace and rescue the emperor. Rush into the palace and rescue the emperor..."

Entering the palace is the jurisdiction of the Imperial Guard. Xie Ziming, as the leader of the Imperial Guard, did not show up at this time. The palace gate was closed at this time, and outside the gate were three neatly lined up teams waiting for the arrival of Li Xingxian and others.

In front of the three teams, there was a man standing. He did not mount a horse, but just stood in front of the war horses.

That person was none other than Eunuch Chengping, the eunuch in charge of the emperor.

Li Xingxian and Li Junze both stopped their horses at this time and looked at Eunuch Chengping with confusion.

Li Xingxian asked, "Eunuch Chengping, are you planning to stop us from entering the palace? Have you betrayed your brother?"

Eunuch Chengping was as humble and kind as usual. He smiled and said,

"Your Highness Prince Yan, what are you talking about? How could I possibly betray the Emperor? It is the Emperor's will that I am here today. He wants to meet you and the Third Prince in person."

"Humph, Li Junhao is really capable. He was able to persuade Eunuch Chengping to be his lobbyist. What? If we follow you into the palace, won't we be like sheep entering a tiger's mouth? Eunuch, please stop talking..."

Li Junze shouted loudly, his tone full of anger. This was the rhetoric Wang Zhuo taught him. At this point, they could not turn back and could only charge forward.

Eunuch Chengping sighed and looked at Li Xingxian, "Your Highness Prince Yan, do you...mean the same thing?"

Li Xingxian hesitated for a moment at this time. He and Eunuch Chengping had a special friendship. When he was still a prince, he often worked with his brother.

Eunuch Chengping also took good care of me.

Before he could say anything, Li Junze had already reminded him, "Uncle, uncle?"

Li Xingxian suddenly came to his senses. This was not the time to talk about personal feelings. He could only bite the bullet and say,

"I am also surprised by Eunuch Chengping's choice. Since you have chosen to betray my brother, I can only choose to clean up the family."

After he finished speaking, he gave an order, and the Yanbei soldiers who were still following him rushed forward and started fighting with the neatly-organized guards in front of the palace gate.

Eunuch Chengping shook his head regretfully. The Emperor asked him to be the last lobbyist, but unfortunately, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan was not someone who would back down easily.

It is even more impossible for Li Junze, as he has no way out.

The sound of "ping pong pong" from the collision of metal was endless. The battle at the palace gate was evenly matched, with not much difference in the number of people on both sides.

Li Junze guessed in his heart that this might also be a deliberate arrangement by Li Junhao?

Because there are quite a lot of guards in the palace, the number of people in front of the palace gate today must be seriously insufficient.

If he had not assigned more people to the palace to protect the emperor, they would certainly not have been able to break into the palace so smoothly today.

They had only been fighting for less than a cup of tea, and although both sides suffered casualties, the palace gate was opened from the inside at this time.

Li Junze had also been waiting for this moment. When he saw the palace gate open, he shouted, "Uncle, rush in, the palace gate is open..."

This was a secret line planted by Wang Zhuo in the palace. At this critical moment today, Wang Zhuo decided to mobilize all the people who could be used in the palace.
