Double Life: The Long Road to Chasing Your Wife

Long Yuqi took the snack handed over by Lin Shu.

"Thank you, cousin!"

"The prince is so good." Except for Shi Ying, no one else dared to call Long Yuqi by his nickname. They only dared to call Long Yuqi 'the prince'.

Seeing that Long Yuqi and Shi Ying gave up the idea of ​​playing in the snow, Chunmei and Dongxue breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lin Shu with very grateful eyes.

On New Year's Eve, the cooks in the Wang Mansion and the women in the Shi Mansion cooked a large table of delicious food. Everyone gathered together to prepare for the delicious food to relieve the fatigue of the day.

In the evening, Shi Jingke ordered Liu Huyuan to set off firecrackers at the door, but the guards of the palace blocked him and refused to open the door today.

"Master, madam, the palace guards are not allowed to go out, and they are not allowed to set off firecrackers."

Upon hearing this, Awen quickly explained:

"Master Shi, the prince has ordered that the capital is not safe today, so it is best not to attract too much attention."

Others didn't understand that Shi Jingke was an official in the court. When he heard what he guessed, he suddenly understood why King Xian wanted to send Shi Ying and Long Yuqi to the Shi family, so Shi Jingke helped stabilize everyone's hearts.

"In that case, everyone should go back to the room to rest after eating."

Facts have proved that King Xian did the right thing. The Sixth Prince sent people to arrest all the family members of important officials in the court.

Although King Xian does not belong to any prince faction, he is the younger brother of the current Holy Emperor. If King Xian can help him, the Sixth Prince will get twice the result with half the effort.

So at this time, the Sixth Prince sent 100 people to search for people in Prince Xian's Mansion.

"General, Prince Xian's Mansion is empty. There is no one there. How should we deal with the Sixth Prince?"

The young general who led the team thought for a while and then gave the order:

"Brothers, let's go back first and help the Sixth Prince outside the palace."

At this moment, Achang led a group of people with already lit arrows and stood on the roof facing the Sixth Prince's people.

Achang jumped down, and the people from Prince Xian's Mansion outside the door closed all the doors, blocking the way for the Sixth Prince's people to go out.

"Everyone inside, listen, my prince has said that you are all subjects of our Long Yuan Kingdom. If we are captured without mercy, your lives will be spared."

When the Sixth Prince's people heard this, they didn't expect that the people from Prince Xian's Palace came to catch turtles in a jar, and the two sides started fighting.

Prince Xian stayed with the Queen Mother and the Emperor in the palace.

"Jing'er, have you made arrangements for Qi'er and the princess?" Originally, the Queen Mother was a little unhappy when she found out that Shi Ying had returned to her parents' home for the New Year, and planned to launch an attack afterwards. However, the Queen Mother only realized King Xian's good intentions when she saw the palace coup that happened today.

The Shi family was far away from the palace. Even if the Sixth Prince's people knew that Shi Ying and Long Yuqi were not in Prince Xian's Mansion but in Shi Mansion, the palace would have been over by the time they came back.

"Mother, don't worry. Achang's younger brother Awen led more than a dozen people to protect Ying'er and Qier in the Shi Mansion. As for the fact that he didn't mention informing the mother, he was worried that the sixth person would know."

"My dear brother, how did you learn about today's palace change of my sixth son?" The emperor asked with narrowed eyes, his words were quite questioning.

King Xian has never been involved in any of the prince's factions, but today King Xian's behavior seems to be on the prince's side.

"Back to Brother Emperor, I didn't know at first and was just guessing in my heart, so I didn't dare to speak nonsense. I didn't tell Brother Emperor in advance. I hope Brother Emperor will forgive me." King Xian saw that the Emperor's expression was wrong and he quickly knelt down to explain.

The Queen Mother was very distressed when she saw this. Both of them were her own sons. Now the eldest son was questioning the younger son. The younger son was kneeling on the ground. As a woman, she did not dare to interfere in the affairs of the court.

"Ahem." The emperor covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few words. When he took it off again, the phlegm on the handkerchief was stained with blood.

The emperor hurriedly hid the handkerchief. He could not let people around him know about his physical condition at this time. If the people of the Sixth Prince knew about it, it would increase the Sixth Prince's arrogance.

"How did you guess this, dear brother?"

"Back to the emperor, when I got married and returned home, I saw that the price of food began to rise on the road, and people were rushing to buy food. There were some people inside who didn't dress like ordinary people and kept collecting grain at high prices, so I paid attention. "

"Ahem." The emperor coughed a few more times.

"Your Majesty, please pay more attention to rest and protect the dragon body." The Queen Mother said with a worried look on her face.

"Mother, I'm fine, it's just that I didn't discipline her well enough, and I gave birth to a rebellious son like Lao Liu."

Subsequently

"My dear brother, please get up! I know you well. If you don't have any irrefutable proof, you are worried that you will wrongfully accuse me if you tell me, so you are making preparations silently and coming to the palace to protect me and my mother."

"Come here, give King Xian a sword."

The eunuch gave the sword to King Xian, and King Xian picked up the sword.

"Brother Imperial, this..."

"It's okay for me and my mother. You can go to the palace gate with your sword and help the prince."

King Xian saw that the emperor trusted him so much, so he took the order and went to the palace gate to stand with the prince.

"Uncle Wang, you are here." The prince respectfully saluted King Xian.

The Sixth Prince's men were attacking the palace gate, and it was about to break down.

Originally, no one knew about the rebellion of the Sixth Prince in the previous life. Someone in the palace cooperated with the Sixth Prince, so the Sixth Prince quickly attacked the emperor.

In this life, Xiao Yan took the initiative and strengthened the protection with the prince. The people of the sixth prince are still attacking the palace gate.

"Old Liu, stop it! It's not too late to stop now."

The Sixth Prince, who was riding on horseback outside the palace gate, looked at King Xian with disdain.

"Uncle Wang, are you on the prince's side?"

"Good nephew, I am on the side of the emperor, my royal brother. Why did you suddenly rebel? Stop it! Before things get too big."

"Uncle Wang, even if I stop now, even if my father spares my life, I will probably be imprisoned in a cell for the rest of my life. Why don't I fight to the death? Maybe I can become a master."

Seeing that the Sixth Prince was stubborn, King Xian had no other choice.

Bang bang bang, the palace door was knocked rhythmically by the Sixth Prince's men. After a while, the cracks became bigger and bigger, and the palace door was broken.

The Sixth Prince drew his sword and said:

"Come on! When I become the emperor, I will give you officers and nobles, and I will never treat you badly."

The prince and King Xian also held swords, and they started fighting.

When the Sixth Prince's people rushed into the palace road, Xiao Yan led his people to block the palace entrance from the outside. For a while, the Sixth Prince's people were attacked from both sides.

"Sixth Prince, we were careless. Xiao Yan and a pair of people appeared at the gate of the palace. We can neither enter nor retreat." The Sixth Prince's right-hand man and the Sixth Prince said back to back.

"No, we can't retreat. When we reach the Jinluan Palace, we can kidnap our father and order the princes. Otherwise, if we leave the palace, we will be ordered to be treated as fugitives. At that time, we will become rats crossing the street, and everyone can shout and beat us."

Because of Xiao Yan's deployment, all the people sent by the Sixth Prince to kidnap the officials and their families were captured. Now the Sixth Prince has no hostages to threaten the officials, so he can only fight to the death.
