Yuqiongyin

When the empress overthrew the previous dynasty and ascended the throne, she conferred the title of King of Zhenbei on a woman and granted her a mansion in Shengjing.

However, the empress had just ascended the throne at that time, and the barbarians invaded. The King of Zhenbei was ordered to go to his fiefdom in the Northern Territory before he even moved in, and this mansion became vacant.

However, in a battle with the barbarians, the King of Zhenbei died, and the mansion was therefore closed.

The fifth princess, Prince Ning Chu Chenlu, is the daughter of Li Guijun, the younger brother of Prince Zhenbei. She has been weak and sickly since childhood and has stayed in the palace all year round without leaving.

But now she is staying in this general's mansion which should be desolate with Li Jingyi, the daughter of King Zhenbei.

Originally, without the emperor's decree, the princes of fiefdoms were not allowed to return to the capital without permission. However, this time the daughter of the Prince of Zhenbei needed to return to the capital to report on her work. During the reporting period, she lived in her mother's general's mansion.

Prince Ning Chu Chenlu used the excuse of leaving the palace to see a doctor, and the general's mansion also refused to see guests due to illness. Unexpectedly, the two were actually plotting.

The entire general's mansion was brightly lit, and everyone inside was on high alert.

"Your Highness, everything is ready." Li Jingyi saluted respectfully towards King Ning Chu Chenlu.

"Then let's go." Chu Chenlu clenched the sword in his hand and said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

In the study room of the Crown Princess's residence.

Hearing the news from his subordinates that Chu Chenlu had taken action, Chu Chenning smiled and said, "Royal sister, you are right. Let's go."

Inside the palace, the palace gates were wide open, and Chu Chenlu had already led his men in to kill their way in.

Now the entire palace has been surrounded by his own people on all sides, especially the imperial study where the Crown Princess is, which is tightly surrounded by guards.

Chu Chenlu kicked open the door of the imperial study and looked at the Crown Princess sitting in the main seat. She was still as calm as ever.

Several ministers were very surprised. After all, she was in the main hall and should be outside the palace at this time. "Your Highness Prince Ning... what are you doing?"

"I just came to take back the seat that belongs to me." Chu Chenlu looked at the bright yellow seat. Soon she would sit in that seat too.

"Prince Ning, this is not your place, and you shouldn't be here."

Chu Chenlu drew the long sword from his waist and pointed it directly at the Crown Princess on the main seat. He sneered and questioned the Crown Princess, "When the Queen Mother ascended the throne, it was inseparable from the support of my aunt. But how did the Queen Mother do it?"

Without waiting for Chu Chenyue to answer, she continued, "She knew that the Northern Territory was in danger and that the court was short of troops, but she still sent my aunt there. This was to send her to her death! After my father learned of my aunt's death, he became depressed and cried all day long. In the end, he also passed away. It was all her fault!"

"I didn't expect you to have such an idea. You colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty and poisoned the Queen Mother, causing unrest in Shengjing. Now you want to launch a palace coup to seize the throne."

Chu Chenyue understood in her heart. She had thought about this reason before, but she always believed that her fifth sister was not such a person. In the end, she was wrong.

Perhaps she would understand when she saw Li Jingyi standing behind Chu Chenlu.

Before Chu Chenyue could say anything, Prince Ning stabbed at her with the sword in his hand. The ministers present exclaimed, "Prince Ning?! Someone, protect the emperor! Protect the emperor!"

"Your Highness, be careful!"

She raised her eyebrows slightly, then laughed disdainfully, "Fifth sister, do you think that you can seize the throne with just the few troops in Li Jingyi's hands?"

As she was speaking, the secret guard had already stepped forward to catch the sword of King Ning, and a quick arrow from behind hit her shoulder. She immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and was then held to the ground by the secret guard.
