Chu Heyi spurred his horse and went to marry Shu Xiao, and then took his men to chase after him outside the palace.

Xie Lin looked at her leaving back and suddenly felt panic in his heart, as if the moonlight that was bright just now dimmed in an instant.

He was worried, so he called Zhou Mochi over and said, "Take a hundred soldiers with you to follow and ensure the safety of the Crown Princess."

"Yes!" Zhou Mochen immediately ordered a hundred soldiers to chase Chu Heyi.

The sound of iron hooves gradually faded away. As the night deepened, the palace became exceptionally quiet. Xie Lin then turned to face the emperor:

"It's getting late, Your Majesty, you should rest. I will personally draft the imperial edict to pardon all those involved in tonight's incident. When Your Majesty has rested enough, I will present it to Your Majesty, and then Your Majesty only needs to stamp it with your seal."

The emperor's lips trembled and his face was still pale, but things had come to this point and he knew there was no turning back.

He, the emperor, has been completely sidelined. From now on, Xie Lin will have the final say in the entire palace and the entire Daqi.

At this time, the palace was filled with Xie Lin and Chu Heyi's men, Xue Jinfei, Yuan Taifu, Wen Tingshen, Chu Ren, and all the people under their command.

What's funny is that, as the emperor, he didn't have a single person available at this time.

The emperor laughed heartily, and his laughter was filled with infinite desolation.

Xie Lin glanced at him with a cold gaze, and the emperor was so frightened that he immediately stopped laughing and said to Yao An: "Eunuch Yao, help me return to the palace to rest."

After the emperor left, Xie Lin took over everything in the imperial study. He personally drafted the imperial edict to pardon Xue Jinfei and Shu Xiao for rashly breaking into the palace, and he stamped it with the imperial seal himself.

He also replaced all the people inside and outside the palace with his own people as quickly as possible, and arranged people to keep an eye on the emperor's every move.

In this way, the emperor was completely sidelined, with no one to rely on, and his life and death were all in the hands of Xie Lin.

But on the other side.

Dongfang Shuo and Runxue escaped from the palace under the protection of two thousand guards and were now fleeing towards the gate of Shengjing City.

When they were about one kilometer away from the city gate, Chu Heyi and Shu Xiao took a shortcut and caught up with them with several thousand soldiers.

Runxue and Dongfang Shuo were riding on horseback, and soon they heard the sound of horses' hooves chasing them.

Dongfang Shuo was shocked and angry: "Chu Heyi is catching up!"

Runxue frowned. She was neither blind nor deaf. She heard and saw it!

They have been preparing for tonight for a long time, from the disaster relief in Qingyang City to now, step by step, it has been extremely difficult, and it can be said that they have risked everything.

But fortunately, they were moving forward step by step. No matter how difficult it was, Runxue never thought of giving up. She had calculated various situations and believed that there was a great possibility that Dongfang Shuo would be appointed as the crown prince.

The success rate should be 99%.

She leaves the remaining 1% chance of failure to God.

In order to reduce the 1% failure rate, she prepared a strong team outside the palace gate, just to save her life in the face of life and death.

God knows how much she hoped not to need this team, but in the end she used it, and it really was used to save her life.

Fortunately, she reacted very quickly. After knowing that she had a high probability of failure, she quickly left the East Palace and took the Eighth Prince away. She then took the opportunity to kidnap Princess Pingyang, all to increase her chances of successfully escaping.

She had thought that on the night when Xie Lin and Chu Heyi rebelled to seize power, there would be many forces in the palace waiting for them to deal with, and Xie Lin and Chu Heyi would stay in the palace and would not chase them out.

But she never expected that Chu Heyi would personally lead people to chase her down.

Seeing that the city gate was not far away, Runxue would die with regrets if she was killed by Chu Heyi at this moment. In a moment, she gritted her teeth and a cold and murderous look burst out in her eyes.

She said coldly: "Choose a team of 100 people, give them the Eighth Prince, and let them stop Chu Heyi!"

The order was passed down layer by layer until it reached the ears of the hundred guards responsible for cutting off the tail.

These hundred men were loyal and accepted the mission without hesitation, even though they knew that staying to stop Chu Heyi and his men would be a dead end.

It was only because they had once fought against the Nanqi Kingdom together with King Cheng and his wife, and after the war, they and their families had indeed received a lot of care from King Cheng and his wife.

Moreover, they were subordinates of King Cheng and his wife, and dying for them was truly a worthy death.

The long streets of Shengjing City were extremely quiet under the night sky. The people closed their doors and no one dared to come out.

The firelight illuminated the night and everyone's resolute face.

Chu Heyi rode on Benxiao's back, and together with Shu Xiao, holding red tassel spears, they rushed to the front.

Suddenly, the guards at the end of the team turned around, and their spears and swords reflected cold light in the firelight.

Chu Heyi rushed forward without even frowning and started fighting with the opponent.

These people are elite guards trained privately by the Runxue couple. They are tall and strong, highly skilled in martial arts, and very difficult to deal with.

The most terrifying thing is that these people are ready to die. Knowing that she and Shu Xiao are the leaders, they will not care about their own lives and will besiege the two of them, and only the two of them.

The people in the front attack, and the people rushing up from the back act as targets, using their bodies as walls to protect the guards attacking in the front.

Chu Heyi was shocked to see such a fearless guard.

Dongfang Shuo and Runxue must have spent a lot of effort to train such a team.

But Chu Heyi was not frightened by the scene before her. In her previous life, she had encountered more terrifying and powerful teams than this one.

Xie Lin had said to her in his previous life: "No matter how strong the snowstorm is, as long as you don't get scared, it will just be a snowstorm. Just rush past it and it will be over. Otherwise, this snowstorm will always stand in front of you and become your eternal nightmare."

At this moment, the words that Xie Lin had said in her previous life became extremely clear in her ears and heart. She tightly grasped the red tasseled spear in her hand and charged forward bravely.

At this moment, these soldiers are no longer her compatriots, but her enemies. If the enemy wins, she and the people behind her will all die.

Kill her, ignoring the other party's courage to move forward and his willingness to die; kill her, for herself and for Xie Lin behind her; also for her relatives and for the thousands of soldiers and innocent civilians behind her.

But what was spilled on his face and body? It was warm blood.

What was blocking the sight and light? It was the bodies of the enemies coming one after another.

At the end of the enemy are Dongfang Shuo and Runxue, who kidnapped Princess Pingyang and the Eighth Prince. Their target is the entire Daqi, and the lives of her, Xie Lin, and everyone behind their Chu and Xie families.

Chu Heyi ignored the pain in his body and finally rushed out from the hundred guards, but he saw a black figure being thrown off the horse's back as if throwing away garbage.

Chu Heyi looked carefully and saw that it was the Eighth Prince...
