He didn't feel proud for long before he was surrounded.

Wen Chun was completely stunned and found it hard to accept all this.

Although Wen Yan was young, he led the army that had been prepared long ago and planned to catch the enemy in a trap.

"Second brother, just surrender."

Wen Chun looked around and decided to fight to the death. He had a lot of people and might not lose.

But he was just wondering how the palace could have been prepared in advance.

"Every move you make is under the Emperor's eyes. The reason why he set up this situation today is to eliminate the ministers with ill intentions in the court, right, Lord Xu, Lord Sun, Lord Chen..."

The ministers whose names were called knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Get up, we may not lose today. Lao Ba, even if you are prepared, I will still take you down today."

"Second brother, stop struggling fearlessly." Wen Yan advised.

"Fellow soldiers, the Eighth Prince has placed our father under house arrest. We must rescue him." Wen Chun shouted loudly, trying to incite the soldiers.

However, the moment he saw Emperor Shunde walking out of the hall, Wen Chun was struck by lightning.

"Father...Father, how could you..."

"How can it be alright?" Emperor Shunde looked at his son coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes. "Wen Chun, you are so brave, what are you going to do?"

"My son...I..."

Wen Chun was puzzled. Didn't the news from the palace say that Wen Heng had succeeded?

However, at this moment, Wen Heng also walked out of the hall.

"You...you..." He looked at Wen Heng in disbelief, "You didn't do anything?"

Wen Heng looked at him coldly, "Isn't the answer obvious?"

"Why is this happening? Don't you hate him?" Wen Chun looked at Wen Heng in confusion. "He abandoned your mother and raised you outside the palace. Even when he took you back to the palace, he left you in the cold. Don't you hate him?"

"Hate!" Wen Heng said loudly.

"I hate it, but this is just a matter between him and me. If I let you take the position, it will be the business of the people of the world. You are unworthy of the position and cannot handle the heavy responsibility."

Wen Chun gnashed his teeth and said, "Wen Heng, you dare to lie to me. Do you think you are doing justice to your own mother?"

"I didn't say I won't take revenge. I will do it in my own way."

Wen Heng said coldly: "But this has nothing to do with you."

"You evil creature, why don't you surrender?" Emperor Shunde said angrily.

"Surrender? Even if I agree, my people won't agree. Now that things have come to this, Father, even if you haven't been poisoned, please forgive me for being unfilial."

Wen Chun straightened his back, with a fierce look in his eyes. If he didn't succeed, he would die. Now that things had come to this, he absolutely could not retreat.

He raised his hand, signaling the archers who had been lying in ambush, "Father, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too partial. You have so many sons, but you only love the eighth one. You have worked so hard for him, and you treat all of us as his stepping stones. You can't blame me for being unfilial."

"Fire arrows!"

However, the next moment, a sharp sword pierced through a man's chest and the man immediately fell to the ground.

But the one who was panicking was Wen Chun.

Because the man fell at his feet.

He quickly looked around and found that his men had been ambushed.

"Second brother, I told you a long time ago that father is well prepared. You'd better surrender." Wen Yan advised again.

"Impossible, I..." Wen Chun shook his head. He brought a lot of people with him, but there were only a few Imperial Guards.

"What are you?"

As she spoke, Princess Yiyang shot another sharp sword at his feet, "Rebellious ministers and traitors, everyone has the right to kill them."

"Grandma, how could you... help them?"

"Then who should I help?" Princess Yi Yang looked heroic and valiant, wearing a golden helmet and armor, which she had worn when she and her husband Chang Yun went to battle.

Although several decades have passed, it is still bright and clear. Time flies, but when she took those few steps, Emperor Shunde seemed to see her in the past. She was also in this outfit, fighting her way through a bloody path with him, and ascending to the throne step by step.

His eyes became moist and his heart seemed to be pulled by something.

"Grandma, my father was the one who killed your husband. He was the one who deliberately delayed the arrival of the reinforcements and cut off the food supply. You were so kind to him, but he caused your family to be destroyed. Why are you still helping him?"

Emperor Shunde paused for a moment and did not dare to look at Princess Yiyang.

He had nothing to say.

"If the king wants his subjects to die, they must die. My family has been loyal to each other for generations, and they all died to protect their country. How dare I disgrace the reputation of my father and brother and become a traitor?"

At this word, Emperor Shunde shook his body and called out in a low voice: "Aunt!"

Princess Yiyang gave him a cold look and said, "We will settle our accounts later. I have no choice but to punish the traitors, but I will not let you...kill my husband and separate us."

"aunt!"

Wen Heng looked at Emperor Shunde and felt only a little mocking.

Princess Yiyang waved her hand and said, "All soldiers, listen to my order. Capture the rebels and you will be rewarded handsomely. If you lay down your weapons, I will spare their lives."

Princess Yiyang brought more people with her. They were all former subordinates of her father, brother, and husband. They came to rescue him today. I wonder if Emperor Shunde would find it ironic.

Wen Chun naturally refused to surrender. He knew what would happen to him, so he would rather die in battle than surrender.

The final result was death on the spot.

The blood in the palace flowed like a river, and the ground was covered with blood.

The Queen Mother was fidgeting, and Xia Zhiliao patted her hands, "Queen Mother, don't worry, my grandmother and Grandpa Wei are here, nothing will happen."

The Queen Mother took a deep breath and said, "Oh, ah..."

She had so much to say, but she didn't know where to start.

The guilt in her heart made her breathless.

"Your grandmother is a good person."

"Queen Dowager, my grandmother said that it was her duty to defend the country. Wen Chun was not a good emperor, but my grandfather's death should not have been in vain."

The Queen Mother nodded, and from time to time young eunuchs came to report on what had happened.

Wei Jianqing and his men are guarding here, but the situation in the front seems to have stabilized and no one has come to the harem.

When daybreak came, the great battle was over.

Emperor Shunde looked at Princess Yiyang who was walking towards him with heavy steps, but as an emperor, he chose to kneel down.

"aunt!"

Princess Yiyang gave him a cold look and said, "How can Your Majesty kneel before me?"

"Aunt, I know I was wrong, and I have regretted it before."

"Hehe~ Can your regret make up for the destruction of my family?" Princess Yi Yang said coldly.

She took a deep breath and asked, "What makes you think that my husband and I would become more powerful than our master and attempt a rebellion?"

"My husband and I are out fighting outside, not taking care of state affairs, yet you are so afraid of us. If you had any regard for our aunt-nephew relationship, you shouldn't have killed us, right?"
