After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

Xiao Yuheng smiled softly.

"Father, what are you talking about? How can this be considered as forcing the emperor to abdicate?"

"I just want to help my father and the others make a decision as soon as possible. The matter of establishing a crown prince is related to the fate of the country, and my father cannot delay it..."

Xiao Yuheng looked at Lu Jinzhou proudly, "Chief Lu, you did a good job."

But the smug look on his face did not last long. The next moment, Lu Jinzhou drew his sword and pointed it straight at him.

All the royal guards changed direction instantly, from facing the officials to turning their backs to them, forming a protective posture.

Xiao Yuheng's smile froze on his face.

Outside the palace gate.

I don't know when the sky started snowing again.

A carriage stopped hastily in front of the palace gate.

Jiang Ruoli hurriedly got off the carriage, and together with Jia Zuo, she supported Grandma Jiang and walked towards the palace gate.

Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the guard at the door.

Jiang Ruoli paused, "What are you doing?"

"Princess Leping, please forgive me. We have received an order that no one is allowed to enter the palace today." The guard said respectfully.

Jiang Ruoli and Jia Zuo smelled something unusual.

"Why?" Jiang Ruoli asked with a frown.

"This... I don't know either. Please don't make things difficult for me, Princess." The guard replied.

Jia Zuo frowned tightly, having a bad feeling in his heart.

"The princess came to the palace for important matters. If the matter is delayed because of your obstruction, can you afford it?!" Jia scolded coldly.

"This..." Several guards looked at each other, unable to make up their minds.

Jiang Ruoli thought of something and took out a small gold leaf from her arms.

It was the one that Xiao Yujing had given her before.

"Can't I enter the palace even with this?"

When several guards saw Xiao Jinye, they immediately knelt down.

This gold leaf is no ordinary gold leaf. It can be used for anything from entering and leaving the palace at will to summoning the Imperial Guards.

Only two people in the whole Dacheng own this golden leaf, His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has passed away, the status of this Jin Ye cannot be underestimated.

But I didn't expect that the golden leaf would now be in the hands of Princess Leping.

"I am blind. Please invite Princess Leping into the palace." The guard said respectfully.

Jiang Ruoli said no more and signaled Jiazuo to bring Grandma Jiang into the palace.

The three of them hurried to the Xuan Zheng Hall and saw Xiao Yuyao running towards them with a panicked look on her face.

"Princess Yuyao!" Jiang Ruoli shouted hurriedly.

Xiao Yuyao stopped and looked over.

When she saw it was Jiang Ruoli, her eyes suddenly became wet and she threw herself into Jiang Ruoli's arms.

"Li'er... my brother is dead..."

Jiang Ruoli staggered a step, unable to believe her ears.

"What did you say?"

Jia Zuoye widened his eyes in shock and looked at Xiao Yuyao in disbelief.

"Princess, what do you mean?" Jiazuo spoke with difficulty.

Xiao Yuyao raised her head, looked at Jiang Ruoli who had a dazed look on her face, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Half an hour ago, news came from Qingze County that my brother died of excessive blood loss. Third brother... no, Xiao Yuheng saw that my brother was dead, and is now forcing my father to appoint a crown prince in Xuanzheng Hall..."

No, not possible.

How could Xiao Yujing die? How could he die?

Jiang Ruoli's whole body seemed to be frozen, extremely stiff.

"Li'er..." Xiao Yuyao saw that something was wrong with her and gently shook her arm.

Jiang Ruoli looked at her, her eyes filled with broken grayness.

"Princess, you lied to me, didn't you? How could Xiao Yujing die?"

"He can't be dead. He is the Crown Prince. How can he die?"

"Someone must have passed on the wrong message. He can't be dead! Impossible!"

"I'm going to find him! I'm going to Qingze County to find him!"

Having said that, he turned around and ran out of the palace gate.

Jiazuo quickly grabbed her.

"Let me go! Let me go! Let me go to find him!" Jiang Ruoli's face was full of tears as she struggled frantically.

Jia Zuo couldn't control her, so he held her tightly in his arms.

"Let me go, Jia Zuo, please, let me go find him..." Jiang Ruoli burst into tears.

"Princess, calm down!" Jiazuo felt heartbroken, but he also knew that he couldn't let her leave alone now, as there was no telling if Xiao Yuheng's people were outside.

"How can you ask me to calm down? I don't want to calm down!"

As he said that, he opened his mouth and bit Kosaku's wrist hard.

A said nothing and let her vent.

Xiao Yuyao was shocked when she saw this scene.

Li'er and the Emperor, is it really true...

Jiang Ruoli bit Jia Zuo's wrist tightly until she tasted blood in her mouth.

She slowly opened her mouth and spoke desperately:

"Why...why do this to me..."

"He's dead... Can't I go see him..."

Jiang Ruoli leaned weakly in Jia Zuo's arms, her heart was torn into pieces like snowflakes, flying in the snow, taking her mind away.

Her eyes were empty and she muttered to herself:

"How could this be... How could this be..."

Seeing that she had calmed down, Jia Zuo signaled the palace maid beside Xiao Yuyao to come over and support her.

Xiao Yuyao hurriedly supported her together with the palace maid.

"Li'er..." Xiao Yuyao looked at her with heartache.

Jia Zuo said in a deep voice, "Princess, Xiao Yuheng is forcing the emperor to abdicate in Xuanzheng Hall. If we don't expose him quickly, we will be wasting your kindness..."

Jiang Ruoli's eyes gradually came back to life.

Yes, she still has to complete what Xiao Yujing has not completed. Xiao Yujing’s death is definitely related to him, Xiao Yuheng. She wants to take off Xiao Yuheng’s hypocritical mask!

Jiang Ruoli slowly stood up.

"Li'er, are you okay?" Xiao Yuyao was very worried.

Jiang Ruoli barely curled the corners of her lips, "I'm fine... How's the Queen?"

When the Queen was mentioned, Xiao Yuyao's face froze.

"The Queen...suffered a shock and fainted..."

Jiang Ruoli felt a pain in her heart again. She looked at Xiao Yuyao seriously.

"Princess, Xiao Yuheng is causing trouble right now. You must take the Imperial Guards and guard the harem!"

Xiao Yuyao nodded heavily, "I understand!"

Jiang Ruoli looked up at the snowflakes flying all over the sky.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier.

She took a deep breath and walked towards the Xuanzheng Hall with firm steps...

Xuanzheng Hall.

"Chief Lu, what do you mean?"

Xiao Yuheng looked at the sword in front of him with a gloomy expression.

Lu Jinzhou looked at him coldly and said in a deep voice:

"Catch the rebels."

"You!" Xiao Yuheng was furious. "Okay, so your cooperation last night was a lie to me!"

"My duty is to maintain the peace of the imperial palace. The Royal Guards only obey the orders of His Majesty!" Lu Jinzhou said in a sonorous and powerful voice.

Emperor Chengren was very confident in Lu Jinzhou, so he did not feel threatened when the Imperial Guards rushed in just now.

"Xiao Yuheng, you've had enough of this!" Emperor Chengren said coldly.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuheng didn't care about Lu Jinzhou's betrayal. He just smiled faintly.

"Chief Lu, I really can't have too high expectations of you. You are really a good dog of my father..."

In response to his ridicule, Lu Jinzhou remained calm and said, "Third Prince, please stop."

"Stop?" Xiao Yuheng smiled contemptuously, "Why do you ask me to stop? I am my father's biological son and the only candidate for the position of crown prince!"

"Third Prince, I'm afraid what you said is not right."

A crisp voice sounded outside the door.
