It's better to fall in love than seize the heir

The little eunuch was still trembling, terrified.

"Tonight, slave, slave suddenly heard a noise coming from the middle gate of the palace, and soon there was a fire again, and the palace people scattered and fled in all directions. Only then did I know that the eldest prince actually raised troops to force the palace! Fortunately, the third prince happened to be here today. I went back to the palace to visit Concubine Xu, stayed in the palace, and immediately rushed to the Zichen Palace to protect His Majesty... Later I heard that Commander Song Yi led the Jinwu Guards to arrive in time, and now he is fighting the rebels at the middle gate."

"How is the battle going? Is there any news from the middle gate?" The lieutenant frowned and continued to ask.

"This... this slave is not clear." The little eunuch was crying, still in shock, "The servants are in a panic, and they don't bother to inquire about the news. But I heard that there are a lot of soldiers surrounding the palace, and I don't know Jin Wu Wei can't stand it. Generals please hurry over and have a look, it's not an option if things go on like this!"

Liang Yan raised his horsewhip and nodded to the lieutenant general, "Come on, let's go around from the east. You lead a group of troops to outflank the middle gate, and I will take the rest to guard Your Majesty in front of Zichen Palace."

The lieutenant nodded and took the order, and immediately rushed towards the back of the middle gate with a group of people under him.Liang Yan turned his horse's head back to Shen Jinghe's side, and told him in a low voice, "We will be outside the Zichen Hall in a while, you just stay by His Majesty's side. There must be countless guards there, and you will be safe standing there some."

"I know." Shen Jinghe looked calm, glanced at him, then pursed his lips and said in concern, "Be careful yourself."

Liang Yan touched his temple hair restrainedly, and smiled lightly with the corners of his lips curled up.In the next second, he immediately mobilized the steed and led the remaining soldiers and horses straight to the Zichen Palace.

All the way to the Zichen Palace, the noise and the flames soaring into the sky are getting closer and closer, and panicked palace people can be seen everywhere, crying and running away.Yan Yunqi didn't stop, but rushed towards the destination without hesitation, and the few stragglers he encountered on the road were all wiped out with one blow.

From a distance, the towering and majestic palace gate of Zichen Palace can be seen. There is a group of people clustered in front of the main hall, and a figure in a bright yellow dragon robe is particularly obvious among them.Liang Yan winked at Shen Jinghe, and Shen Jinghe immediately speeded up the horse knowingly, shouting.

"Father! My son came here with Yan Yunqi to rescue him and put down the rebels!"

Between swords, swords, and flesh and blood, his clear and powerful cry made everyone in the battle startled.

The soldiers of the Jinwu Guard immediately cheered up when they heard the words, and they seemed to have endless energy in their hands.On the contrary, the people of Jianzhangying did not expect that the Jinwu Guards would call back and rescue them so quickly when they suddenly forced the palace today. They were a little reluctant to deal with it. A wave of despair.

The emperor, who was closely surrounded by guards, quickly turned his head and looked at the approaching figure of the army. His ashen and angry face finally relaxed a little, "Okay! Let that daring, rebellious and usurper Nizi open his eyes and take a good look at it." Look, see how my great dream of a thousand years was destroyed!"

Shen Zhuomin had always adhered to his duty as a filial son, guarding closely by the emperor's side.Seeing Shen Jinghe appearing with the army now, his eyes darkened a bit, he turned his head, and whispered to the servant behind him, gnashing his teeth: "How did he come here?"

The attendant responded with nana a few times, but didn't know how to respond.Fortunately, Shen Zhuomin was only complaining in his heart, and didn't really want to ask for an answer, so he quickly suppressed his anger, and looked at the emperor again with worry and disbelief.

"Father, this is really... Sigh, how did eldest brother do such a rebellious thing? It's really unbelievable!"

The emperor heard him mention Shen Zhuohao, looked at the crowd fighting fiercely in front of him, and his face was full of anger, "Don't call him big brother! This rebellious son is not worthy to be my son at all! He really dared to be my son! Forcing the palace to usurp the throne, I will clean up this scum for my ancestors today!"

Shen Jinghe finally galloped to the emperor's side at this time, quickly got off his horse, walked a few steps quickly to protect the emperor, with a serious expression, "Father, the battle outside is very dangerous, now that the reinforcements are here, you have to enter the palace Dodge it?"

"I am the real dragon emperor, I have my own dragon energy to protect me, so why do I need to avoid it?" The emperor did not hesitate, facing the fierce battle at the middle gate not far away, and said in a cold tone, "Today I am going to stand Here, I can see with my own eyes how that wicked beast brought himself to perish!"

"Exactly, the sixth brother is too careful. With these guards and soldiers guarding Zichen Palace, how can those rebels get in?" Shen Zhuomin echoed in a timely manner, which made the emperor's face look much better.

Shen Jinghe saw that these two people did not listen to persuasion, so he sighed helplessly inwardly, with one hand on the long sword at the side of his waist, carefully scanning the battle situation in front of him.

The drums of war thundered, and blood flowed like rivers.The closest place to them in front of the Zichen Palace is the Jinwu Guard who called back early to guard the Forbidden Palace.Although their numbers were not superior to the enemy's, Song Yi's command was superior and they took advantage of the convenient location, so they were still in a stalemate with the enemy for a while.

From the outside of the middle gate, it was the Jianzhang battalion led by the first prince who fought all the way to the inside, with elite weapons and a considerable number of people.But after a long battle, he was already powerless, and now seeing that the reinforcements had arrived, the energy in his heart was vented for no reason.Seeing that the eldest prince was so angry that he actually went into battle himself, drew his sword and beheaded a few soldiers who seemed to be retreating, and joined the battle himself to kill his eyes.

"Brother Dahuang, put down your sword and capture it, don't be obsessed with it!" Shen Jinghe looked at Liang Yan, who was already full of evil spirits and swung his sword into the enemy group, and a group of desperate people following behind him. The elite Yan Yunqi turned his head to look at Shen Zhuohao who was fighting fiercely in the center, "General Liang has led Yan Yunqi into the battle, and the Shenwu Battalion outside Gyeonggi is also trying their best to rush back, don't do these unnecessary resistance anymore! "

"Shut up! I just want you to take a good look today, and I, Shen Zhuohao, am not a worthless piece of trash!" The eldest prince seemed to have fallen into madness, ignoring Jianzhangying, who was shaken by hearing Shen Jinghe's words, and chopped a knife He slashed at his side randomly, "Father? Hahaha... Don't you always favor the third child? Don't you always fail to see all the hard work I put in? I, Shen Zhuohao, will let you open your eyes today and see See how I seized your kingdom step by step, how I ascended to the throne that you have never paid attention to me!"

"It's just nonsense! You rebellious son, now I only wish I didn't throw you to death when you were young, so that I can raise such a wolfish and ambitious bastard alive!" The emperor turned blue with anger, and pointed at Shen Zhuohao with a trembling hand. , "The eldest prince Shen Zhuohao forced the palace to usurp the throne and plotted against the law. I will abolish your position as prince today. All those who plot rebellion will be killed! If any of the soldiers of the army executes them on the spot, they will be promoted to three ranks and given gold and silver fields. !"

Hearing the reward promised by the emperor, everyone was refreshed, and couldn't help but work harder.The flames soared into the sky, flesh and blood flew across the sky, and the buzzing and roaring sounds of fighting could be heard endlessly. The stone steps in front of the Zichen Hall were already stained red by the endless blood. The scene in front of you seemed to be in a chilling hell.

Liang Yan reckoned that the lieutenant general's team had almost circled behind the middle gate, so he stopped mediating with the enemy and directly rushed into the enemy group with his sword in hand.A group of exhausted soldiers were trampled away by horseshoes. Liang Yan looked coldly through his cold and emotionless black eyes. Before he could yell out in the future, he was swept away by the sword shadow holding the thunderbolt, lightning, and coldness, and fell down on his back, spitting blood.

"Your Highness, what should we do... Our manpower is getting smaller and smaller." One of the generals under the First Prince rushed through the crowd surrounding him with great difficulty, brandishing a big knife and retreated all the way to the First Prince, "If this continues, I am afraid……"

"Why are you panicking? We will definitely win...we will definitely win!" Shen Zhuohao looked crazy, his eyes burst out with abnormal frenzy and excitement, and his face splattered with blood was terrifying, "Right now! Immediately I will be the emperor! Hahaha..."

Seeing his madman-like appearance, the military commander couldn't help but shuddered all over, with a hint of flinching in his expression.Shen Zhuohao glanced at him, and immediately glared fiercely and said, "Do you want to be a deserter with your appearance? Believe it or not, this palace chopped off your head!"

"Subordinates don't dare..." The general turned his head quickly, but his heart was full of mortal despair.Even if he is not beheaded by the eldest prince, he will surely die after he is defeated in the battle.If he had known this earlier, he would never have participated in this coercion... But now, it's too late to say anything.

He was still in despair, but Shen Zhuohao seemed to think that the battle was too slow, his eyes scanned the crowd fighting fiercely around him aimlessly, "I have to think of a way... Find a way to make the battle end quickly."

He had completely lost his mind and glanced at the emperor who was shining brightly in a dragon robe, and suddenly opened his eyes wide in surprise as if he had found a prey.Regardless of the shadows of swords and swords around him, he casually dropped the knife in his hand, snatched the longbow and feather arrows from the general's back, and quickly drew the bow and pointed it at the front of Zichen Palace.

"Yeah, why did my hall forget... Hahaha, as long as he dies, as long as he dies, this hall will be the new emperor!"

The strength circle of the Jianchang Battalion was shrinking, the emperor seemed to be relieved, and turned his head to order the follow-up disposal with the people behind him.The nearby guards were busy dealing with the miscellaneous soldiers rushing up to attack in the desperate battle. For a while, no one noticed the feathered arrow that was ready to be fired.

However, this did not include Shen Jinghe who had been staring closely at the First Prince. When Shen Zhuohao first made a change, he had already sensitively noticed something was wrong.

The bowstring was slowly drawn at a speed visible to the naked eye until it stretched like a full moon.Shen Jinghe's pupils contracted sharply. Until now, he would have had a chance to push the emperor away, or call out for his attendants to escort him.

His eyes flashed slightly, his nails dug into his palm fiercely, he hesitated again and again, but he still didn't do anything.

The eldest prince's hand on the bowstring suddenly loosened, and the feathered arrows gleaming with cold silver light rushed straight towards the emperor's heart like shooting stars.

In the next second, Shen Jinghe's figure moved, and he quickly turned around and threw himself in front of the emperor to resist, exclaiming anxiously.

"Father, be careful!"

The emperor only felt a black shadow suddenly block in front of him. Before he could realize what was going on, he heard the ear-piercing whistling sound of arrows piercing through the air, and the trembling of the person in front of him suddenly. Hold back the murmur.

He froze for a moment, until he looked down and saw Shen Jinghe's bleeding shoulder pierced by a feathered arrow, and the face of the eldest prince in the distance who was furious because of the shot, and then he understood what happened just now.He quickly supported Shen Jinghe's figure that seemed to be about to slide down with one hand, and shouted angrily, "A bunch of trash, what are you doing! Hurry up and take down this evil obstacle!"

Shen Zhuomin saw Shen Jinghe's face turned slightly pale due to blood loss, and his face was full of disbelief.After being startled for a moment, a gloomy expression slowly appeared on his face——

This Shen Jinghe would really seize the good opportunity to perform in front of the emperor.

The emperor had no time to care about his expression, and was still shocked by Shen Jinghe's sacrifice to defend himself from the arrow.He quickly turned his head and ordered loudly to his attendants, "What are you still doing in a daze? Go to the imperial doctor to treat the sixth prince's injury!"

Shen Jinghe endured the pain and looked at the emperor, his eyes were full of worry and concern, "I'm fine, it's just a small injury... Your father isn't injured, right?"

The emperor's expression was a little touched, "I'm fine. Don't worry, there are imperial doctors here, and I will definitely ask them to heal your injury."

Only then did Shen Jinghe feel relieved, pursed his pale lips and turned his head, just in time to see Liang Yan who was staring at him intently, but his heart was shocked by the corners of his eyes that were so red that they were almost bleeding.

As early as the moment the feathered arrow came through the air, Liang Yan turned his head to look at it with a tight heart, but just in time saw the scene where the arrow tip pierced Shen Jinghe's shoulder.He only felt that his breathing was suffocated at that moment, and the sound of sword clashing in his ears receded like a tide, leaving only a blank brain, and the suffocation in his throat when he wanted to roar out with all his strength. Shouted in rage.

The blood dripping from the side of the moon white clothes almost hurt his eyes. He was used to seeing countless life and death fights in the northern border, and he was already familiar with the color and breath of blood, but he had never For a moment like this, I panicked and felt like tearing apart.His heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a big hand at that moment, and the irresistible pain spread and climbed to the limbs with every beat of the heart, making the Zhan Liu in his palm almost shaken due to the trembling hands. slide.

Liang Yan stared at Shen Jinghe with red eyes, stubborn and unconvincing.With the sword light approaching, he didn't even look at it. A sword full of overwhelming anger flew across, and the warm blood spurted out high in the next second.

As if he had finally freed himself from the flustered anger that could not move, he finally took a deep look at Shen Jinghe, then turned his head and rejoined the battle.Every sword under his hand was twice as strong as usual, and everywhere he passed was sword light, causing casualties, as if he wanted to turn the emotions that had nowhere to vent in his heart into murderous aura.It was like a wounded lone wolf fighting to the death, but in a blink of an eye, a large group of soldiers fell around.

Shen Jinghe looked at Liang Yan's soaring murderous aura and his relentless attacks, covered his bleeding shoulder with one hand, and frowned slightly worriedly.

Oops... he seems, angry?
