The evil woman becomes the concubine and the villain is crushed to ashes

Si Ling also knew that His Highness was worried about Miss Xie Lingxi. Never mind. Going earlier would also allow His Highness to feel at ease sooner. There was nothing wrong with that.

And here in the capital, a storm is indeed coming.

After a night passed, in the court, after all the civil and military officials shouted in unison, "Long live the emperor!", the people of the Third Prince's faction, who had been silent for many days, took action again.

They changed their humble attitude of the past twenty days and began to reason with the Emperor of Chu and appeal to his emotions. Their words were all about excuses for the Third Prince and they asked the Emperor of Chu to forgive him.

It is said that the current situation of the Mu family is all caused by the Mu family themselves and has nothing to do with the Third Prince. The Third Prince’s house arrest should be lifted.

The other court officials did not have the chance to interrupt. It was not known whether they were too presumptuous or the Emperor of Chu was in poor health, but he was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot.

For a moment, all the ministers were shocked. They couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality. Until the Emperor of Chu was hurriedly carried away by several eunuchs, no one had come to their senses.

But it is indeed a big deal. Regardless of whether the emperor vomited blood this time because he was really angry or for some other reason, it was a sign that the emperor was in poor health.

This is not good...

"What did you say? Father vomited blood? Really vomited blood?"

When the Third Prince heard the news, he looked in shock at Marquis Xiao who had returned to report it.

Lord Xiao was also surprised, but he did not think it was a bad thing. Instead, he advised against it.

"Your Highness, this shows that you have divine help. The Emperor is not feeling well right now, so doesn't he need a successor? Your Highness, you are that successor."

"What's more, Third Prince, you did nothing wrong in this matter. We were just speaking up for the Third Prince and pleading for him. The Emperor was so angry, which shows that he has a deep grudge against you!"

The third prince felt a little sorry for his father at first, but after hearing what Marquis Xiao said, he felt that his father was too ruthless.

Very good, since you are ruthless, don’t blame me for being ungrateful!

The third prince turned cold-hearted.

"Tonight's plan remains the same!"

Lord Xiao's lips curled slightly.

At night, when every household closed their doors and was fast asleep, the Third Prince's mansion was brightly lit. Inside and outside, in the yard, and even outside the Third Prince's mansion, there were many private soldiers.

These are the palace soldiers trained by Lord Xiao and other subordinate officials, as well as the private soldiers secretly trained by the Third Prince. Now they are finally put to use.

After Lord Xiao finished counting, he walked up to the Third Prince and said respectfully, "Your Highness, my wife has already prepared a banquet at home, and all the invited ladies have gone to the banquet. With these hostages in hand, you don't have to worry about those people going against you!"

The third prince sneered.

"It's useless to just rely on some women as hostages. After we enter the palace, you must immediately send some people to capture these ministers and send them all to the palace. I want them to make a choice in front of me and my father. Will they choose the setting sun or me, the rising sun? There's no chance for them to choose either side!"

Lord Xiao agreed immediately.

The third prince adjusted his armor and broke into the palace with Marquis Xiao and a group of private soldiers.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Rebellion! The Third Prince is rebelling! Someone come!"

The blood flowed like a river all the way, and they fought all the way to the outside of the imperial study. The third prince slashed the throat of a palace guard with the sword in his hand, and looked at the closed door of the imperial study and started shouting.

"Father! Please abdicate and hand over the kingdom of Great Chu to your son. I will definitely not let you down!"

As soon as he finished shouting, the door of the imperial study opened, but a pair of well-trained imperial guards came out.

The last one to come out was the Great Chu Emperor, and next to him was the Fifth Prince, who was also fully armed and stared at the Third Prince with a cold expression.

Although the Emperor of Great Chu had already learned about the Third Prince's behavior from the Fifth Prince, he did not completely believe it at the time.

However, the emperor was suspicious, so there was the testing scene of vomiting blood in the court. He didn't expect it was true. The third brother was really so eager to take the throne!

The Emperor of Great Chu was furious and cursed at the Third Prince.

"You bastard, are you crazy? Why don't you surrender now?"

The third prince fought his way in without any hindrance. He was full of confidence at this moment. How could he stop?

His attention was not even on the Great Chu Emperor, but on the Fifth Prince next to the Great Chu Emperor. He sneered.

"Father, please don't deny it. You are biased. You refused to release me, but kept the fifth prince by your side. He is your son, so am I not? Father, you should just hand over the throne. You are too old to hold this position!"

After saying that, he pointed his sword directly at the Emperor of Chu.

The Emperor of Great Chu was so angry that he almost died. The Fifth Prince stepped forward and stood in front of the Emperor of Great Chu, protecting the Emperor and the Queen behind him, and pointed the sword in his hand at the Third Prince.

"Third brother, you are simply not a human being. Put down your weapon immediately. I can still ask my father to spare your life!"

The third prince laughed angrily and shouted.

"Those who obey me will prosper! Those who defy me will perish! I am the future emperor, and I will kill anyone who disagrees!"

After saying that, he raised his sword and rushed towards the imperial study. The private soldiers behind him also made arrogant shouts and followed closely behind him with murderous intent.

For a while, there was chaos and confusion. The Fifth Prince did not retreat but advanced, and soon engaged in battle with the Third Prince. The two fought back and forth, neither giving in.

Although the Imperial Guards were very powerful, the Third Brother had too many people, and two fists could not beat four hands. Soon, the Emperor of Chu and the Fifth Prince were at a disadvantage, and the Emperor of Chu looked extremely ugly.

But at this critical moment, a long sword came from the air, and with a whoosh, it pierced directly into the chest of the third prince, and the arrow head was only an inch away from the fifth prince.

The fifth prince stepped back in surprise, and the third prince looked back in disbelief, just in time to see Prince Chen still drawing his bow and shooting an arrow.

Prince Rong Jingchen was riding on a tall horse at this time. He looked past the third prince with a burning gaze at the Emperor of Great Chu who was protected by the Imperial Guards behind him.

Prince Chen shouted, "Your Majesty! I am late in coming to your rescue. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"Catch the traitors! Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"

After saying this, he waved his hand, and the murderous soldiers behind him immediately surrounded the Third Prince's men.

At this point, the danger of forcing the emperor to abdicate and rebel was resolved.

……

Xie Lingxi did not sleep all night, and she also knew that last night was a sleepless night for the entire capital.

But there's always dawn, isn't there?

When it was just getting light, Qiao'er came over excitedly to report.

"Miss, the imperial decree from the palace has been passed down. The Third Prince's residence and all his followers have been confiscated! It's over!"

A smile finally appeared on Xie Lingxi's face.

At this moment, Xie Zhibai's voice rang out from outside the yard: "Lingxi, look who's here?"

Xie Lingxi raised her eyebrows and looked over, and saw Prince Chen, who was covered in dust but not looking tired, following behind her eldest brother.

Meeting that pair of sparkling eyes, Xie Lingxi's heart skipped a beat, her cheeks slightly reddened, and she stepped forward and said.

"Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness, for your hard work."
