The prince chuckled: "Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Success or failure depends on this one move.

I have been preparing for so long, but if I don’t make a name for myself, my father will never see me again in his life!

Even if it is hatred, I will become the one that my father hates the most before I die!"

After he said that, he suddenly raised his hand and waved it, and the private soldiers behind him rushed towards the gate of the capital.

The dark sky grew darker, and siege horns sounded in the silence, breaking the peaceful and harmonious atmosphere of the capital.

The private soldiers were dressed in armor, holding spears and shields, and slowly advanced towards the city wall with solemn expressions.

On the city wall, the defenders of the capital nervously watched the movements below, and the archers drew their bowstrings.

Originally, the gates of the capital city were open all day and all night, but when the imperial guards on the city wall saw the large number of private soldiers coming, they quickly closed the gates.

Only then were the prince and his private soldiers locked up outside the city.

However... there is still his Lanxiangyuan and the King of Zhennan in the city.

Thinking of this, the prince relaxed a lot.

The imperial guards guarding the capital will rush here at the first opportunity. If he can delay a little longer, Prince Zhennan will surely follow the tunnel of Lanxiangyuan and attack the palace directly!

They did not have enough private soldiers to surround the capital and the imperial palace.

The sound of a loud, ancient bell awakened countless sleeping people in Beijing.

At the Princess's Mansion, although the two newlyweds returned to the bridal chamber early, the wedding banquet was not over yet.

Pei Ding, who was drinking his daughter's wedding wine with his colleagues who stayed in the capital to supervise the country, was stunned.

The officials who were drinking were also frightened when they heard the bell.

They put down their wine glasses one after another, and some of the drunken ones could not even stand steadily. They were still struggling to stand up, and were discovered by the servants, who quickly ran forward to help them.

"What's going on!" Wang Yan, who is also a duke, yelled at the commander of the imperial guards beside him.

It scared people.

He immediately pushed away the support of the servant beside him, put down the wine jug, and ran out of the princess's mansion to take a look.

Pei Ding also reacted. When he rushed to the door with several anxious generals, he suddenly stopped and angrily slapped the vermilion door in front of him: "Quick, all of you go and take a look!"

Wang Yan was stunned, a little surprised: "Brother Pei, what's wrong? Ring the bell at the city gate, is there an enemy attacking?!"

Pei Ding sighed and said in a high-sounding manner in front of the group of leaderless generals: "Alas, I am still under house arrest by the emperor. I dare not go out casually! I am so anxious!

I'm so anxious!

Come on guys! Go check it out for me first!"

Wang Yan was a little choked.

He thought that this was not Pei Ding's usual style of doing things. Before, Pei Ding treated Zhao State as his home.

He had long ignored the rules of house arrest and went up with his spear in hand.

If someone offends him, he will definitely go into battle and kill the villain to his heart's content before he will stop.

But what happened today!

The enemy has already reached the capital, why is he fussing about the house arrest rules at this time!

Without Pei Ding leading the way, who would dare to charge forward with this bunch of good-for-nothings behind him? !

Should he take the initiative? What if he succeeds...

In the backyard, Aunt Wang, also known as Wang Yanzheng, the legitimate wife of Duke Zhuang, was startled when she heard the bell. She was so scared that she immediately grabbed the princess's hand tightly.

A little panicked: "What happened?! How could the enemy come to the capital? Jiashan, you, you should hide quickly..."

The eldest princess also pretended to be panicked and squeezed Aunt Wang's hand to comfort her.

Looking up, she saw the women waiting for their husbands in the mansion, all in a hurry. She pretended to be calm and said, "There are too few guards in the princess' mansion. Everyone, go home and find guards!"

The eldest princess raised her voice, but her hand was tightly clasped around An Qingmei, Pei Chun's aunt from the Wang family.

The women in the backyard who heard this became increasingly panicked.

Most of the bewildered women were helped away by the clever maids.

In the blink of an eye, only An Qingmei, the princess' mother, and sister-in-law Shi Wan were left in the backyard.

The princess thought for a moment, then called out to Jiang Yue, who was standing at the door and was ordered to protect her godmother: "Yue'er, go, send your aunt back home!

Don’t let anyone bump into you!”

After that, the princess gave An Qingmei a look and said, "Don't worry, Mei'er, he won't survive!"

Jiang Yue was not vague at all. He responded to the princess and turned to go to the stable. He didn't hear what the princess said to An Qingmei.

Seeing that only Shi Wan and the eldest princess were left in the backyard, An Qingmei felt relieved: "I will never forget Jiashan's great kindness this time!"

The princess shook her head and said, "Go home quickly! Don't let Duke Zhuang's mother get suspicious!"

Before leaving, An Qingmei looked back at the eldest princess with a look of relief.

The eldest princess gave him a reassuring look: "Don't be afraid, Mei'er. I'll take care of everything."

On the other side, Jiang Yue had already pulled out the horses that had been prepared in the Princess's Mansion, and he and An Qingmei each had one.

Fortunately, An Qingmei knew how to ride a horse when he was young, so it was not difficult for him to control a horse. The two of them immediately galloped away on their horses. Along the way, they saw many carriages and people carrying bags fleeing in panic in the city.

Pei Ding sat at the gate of the Princess's Mansion, looking at the leftovers after the wedding banquet. He thought of Wang Yanzheng's expression and sighed.

What a pity, this guy just doesn’t know that women should not be messed with.

If someone had invaded Zhao in his previous life, he would have been the first to rush forward, no matter if he was the crown prince or not. As long as someone wanted to invade Zhao, he would have been the one who took the lead.

This is the Zhao State of Jiashan...

But that was in a previous life.

As for the prince position that the prince promised a few days ago...ha, Pei Ding sneered.

Anyway, he had tried his best to stop the group of officials from attending the wedding banquet. As for whether he succeeded or not, that was not up to him.

The sound of trotting came from my ears. It was Ming Cheng pulling Gu Yuan, running over through the small door between the Princess Chang’s Mansion and Princess Funing’s Mansion.

They were dressed neatly, both in black.

Pei Chun took a breath and said, "Dad, did Jiang Xingren send someone to deliver the message?"

That’s right, Jiang Xingren was asked to work for the prince after his elder brother Pei Qing and Jiang Xingren hit it off.

Jiang Xingren originally came to the capital for fame and fortune, but who would have thought that the Lanxiang Inn would make him miss the first day of the Spring Examination.

Originally, after eldest brother Pei Qing knew about this, he wanted to bring Jiang Xingren with him, and let him go to the Ministry of Revenue as an attendant, to study with eldest brother and prepare for the spring examination while learning, so that his trip to the capital would not be in vain.

You can take the test again after three years.

But Jiang Xingren really didn't want to, although he understood his elder brother's good intentions.

But when he thought about the fact that he had worked hard for more than ten years to pass the imperial examination, and that it was completely wasted just because of a word from the prince, he found it hard to swallow this anger.

What's more, he was doing it for status and fame.

It takes three years to go from being a servant to taking the imperial examination, and he didn't want to wait, so he took a risky move.

He became a candidate for the Spring Examination who was saved by the prince, and is now a counselor to the prince.

Just to become an official through a disabled prince.

Although the eldest brother was a little worried, after all, everyone has their own aspirations, and he could only respect them.

But who is Jiang Xingren? In his previous life, he relied on his brain to become a counselor who was a guest of honor for three heroes.

As soon as he entered the Prince's Mansion, he noticed that there was something wrong with the Prince's body, and that there was something strange about the relationship between Feng Huan and the Princess's Mansion.

In order to repay Pei Chun and Pei Qing for their timely help, he took the initiative to send them a letter.

Feng Huan has become a disabled person now, but Jiang Xingren has not.

"Mingcheng, go and put on your armor. We can't let the prince really ascend the throne!" Pei Ding stood up.

Pei Chun nodded: "Don't worry, Daddy, my third brother is watching over the city gate, and my fourth brother is watching over the Sixth Prince.

The prince can conquer the capital and the palace, but he can never be the new emperor!"

He doesn't have that longevity!

Pei Ding paused, suddenly realizing something was wrong: "Ming Cheng, what else have you done besides what I know?"
