King Huai also knew in his heart that they had no way to retreat. He felt cruel and whispered, "Mu Chong, you lead the troops to attack first."

Mu Chong was speechless at the moment. At this point, he only regretted that he had seen the wrong person and chosen the wrong master.

If only one of these two people could listen to what he said, how could he end up in the current situation?

But he had betrayed Dayan and had no place to stand, so he had no choice but to go on.

"The two princes are so powerful, they made it easy for us to wait." General Xiao looked at them coldly and said sarcastically, "I really didn't expect that two people who have never even read a military book can actually arrange troops. Military orders have been issued."

"Why are you being so polite to the rebels?" Old General Xiao waved his spear and pointed it directly in King Huai's face, "It's useless to talk, just fight!"

Prince Ping cleared his throat, pretending to be calm and said, "Old General Xiao is already old. He should be staying at home to take care of himself, so why bother confronting us?"

He deliberately tried to win over him, but General Xiao was unmoved and chuckled, "You are a traitor and a traitor with different ambitions. The way you act makes me feel sick."

Prince Ping's face sank, he looked at him coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Since you don't know how to praise, don't blame our men for being ruthless."

General Xiao ignored him, raised his spear, and shouted, "Kill!"

The two armies were fighting. King Huai led a small group of troops and took advantage of the chaos to rush into the palace.

In their extreme panic, they lost the ability to react, and they never thought about why General Xiao, who was near the palace gate, didn't come to stop the enemy.

After finally rushing into the palace, with less than a hundred soldiers behind him, King Huai felt depressed, but he did not dare to waste time and went straight to the Yangxin Hall, for fear that the Lian family and the Xiao family would catch up.

There were no eunuchs in the palace, but there were quite a few maids. When they saw the rebels rushing in, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they screamed.

King Huai didn't care about these maids and rushed towards the main hall.

The soldiers behind him also followed suit. No one noticed that the originally idle palace maids suddenly gathered together, pulled out their soft swords from their belts, and followed them quietly.

In the huge Yangxin Hall, there was only one man sitting at the table, his eyes lowered, quietly sipping the tea in the cup, his expression indifferent.

King Huai rushed into the palace and naturally saw him. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes and he called out in a low voice, "Shen Ji."

Hearing the sound, Shen Ji raised his eyes and stared at the person in front of the door. With a smile on his lips, he said warmly, "You two princes, please wait."

"Shen Ji, what are you doing here?" Prince Ping looked at him coldly and said in a sarcastic tone, "Are you going to protect your fourth brother to the death and live or die with him?"

He had always looked down upon Shen Ji, always feeling that he was pretentious, hypocritical and disgusting.

Shen Ji slowly put down the tea cup in his hand, stood up, and looked at them levelly, "That day there was a mutiny in the palace. Does Prince Ping know why the eldest prince was defeated?"

Prince Ping was stunned and asked subconsciously, "Why...why?"

He had clearly heard the news. The eldest brother was well prepared and should be sure of everything.

Shen Ji raised his lips and smiled, with a light look in his eyes, and whispered, "Because he... talks a lot."

"What do you mean!"

Prince Ping thought he was scolding him, and his expression suddenly changed. Just as he was about to get angry, he heard a few muffled sounds behind him.

Looking back in surprise, the two of them found that the soldiers following them had fallen to the ground, with a long and thin wound on their necks, and blood was still pouring out.

Where his own people were originally standing, there was a group of women standing. They were different in height, short, fat, and thin, but they all had a fierce look in their eyebrows. They held soft swords in their hands and had murderous looks on their faces.

"First the Lian family, then the Xiao family, and then the Detachment of Women." Shen Ji's eyes were deep and there was a slight smile on his lips, "Can the two princes still conjure soldiers and horses?"

"you……"

Just as King Huai was about to speak, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves. Before he could look back, a bloody head hit his feet.

King Huai looked closely and saw Mu Chong's face. He was so frightened that he jumped three feet high and hid next to King Ping.

Mu Chong's eyes were wide-eyed, his nose was missing, and his mouth was wide open. The blood inside had not yet condensed, but he could still see that his tongue was missing.

General Xiao dismounted and walked to Shen Ji's side. With a sarcastic smile on his lips, he said in a stunned voice, "This is what happens to rebels."

"General Mu, it's a pity." Shen Ji sighed, shook his head pretending to be helpless, and said warmly, "He is also a good leader in fighting. If the two princes were willing to listen to him, maybe he would not be where he is today. It’s the end.”

After saying that, Shen Ji felt much better when he saw the sudden change in their expressions.

King Huai was frightened by the head on Mu Chong's neck and cowered aside without saying a word. King Ping looked around and saw that they were being attacked from both sides and stopped thinking.

There was a sound from the inner hall, and the next moment, Zhuo Ming walked out slowly, supporting Yuan Chen, whose face was as pale as paper.

"Fourth brother..."

King Huai had lost his reaction, but King Ping was still awake. When he saw Yuan Chen, as the loser, he didn't know what to think.

Yuan Chen stood still in the center of the hall, looking at them coldly, his eyes dark and unable to distinguish his emotions.

Prince Ping gritted his teeth and turned away, unwilling to look at him again.

"Eleven, why?"

Yuan Chen's hoarse voice sounded in the main hall, his tone was calm, without any fluctuation.

Prince Ping turned around and looked at him with a resentful look on his face, "Why? You are the direct descendant of the middle palace and were born noble. How can you understand what we are here for?"

"When it comes to the prince, those old immortals always talk about being a direct descendant. Why?" Prince Ping almost broke his back molar and said loudly, "No matter how hard I live, I am also my father's son. This prince, I We should fight!”

Yuan Chen swayed and said in a sad tone, "Eleven, you enjoyed the most when you were young, so I made you an idle prince. Isn't that a kind of protection?"

Prince Ping looked at him coldly. This layer of window paper had been pierced, and he did not want to pretend anymore. "The peak of power is so tempting. Fourth brother, although you are of noble birth, you lack some luck. Just look at it. It’s coming to an end.”

"Instead of letting this country change its surname to Shen, it would be better for me to take your place and continue the glory of the Yuan family."

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Chen's long eyelashes trembled slightly and he said nothing.

Shen Ji looked away and didn't want to say more.

He couldn't get over those few words over and over again, and he was tired of talking.

Prince Ping looked at the two of them, with an imperceptible smile on his lips.

When the king becomes suspicious, what will happen to Shen Ji?

"He won't."

The smile on Prince Ping's face froze, his eyes widened, and he looked at Yuan Chen in disbelief, "You...what did you say?"

Shen Ji suddenly looked back, feeling surprised in his heart.

Yuan Chen didn't have much expression on his face, he just repeated in a cold voice, "Shen Qing will not betray me."

As soon as the words fell to the ground, Yuan Chen closed his eyes and whispered, "Drag them both out and put them in the sky prison to wait for punishment."

"Yes." General Xiao responded, easily restraining Prince Ping who had not yet recovered, and dragged him outside.

"Yuan Chen! You are a fool, idiot. The Yuan family is finished...well..."

Prince Ping's angry curses came from outside the palace, and the next moment, his mouth was tightly blocked.

It was quiet again outside, and Yuan Chen seemed to be unable to stand any longer, leaning forward and falling on Zhuo Ming's shoulder.
