Dressed as cannon fodder and vowing to kick the heroine’s head off

But Xiao Chenyi slowly stood up, then bent down and pulled up his daughter and wife.

Yun Xi looked at him in surprise: Huh? What's going on? Are they rebelling now?

"Prince Chen!" When Eunuch Hua saw Xiao Chenyi standing up without saying anything to order him to do so, his face suddenly darkened.

The imperial edict in his hand became very heavy at this moment.

To be honest, among the emperor's sons, he likes Prince Chen the most.

He also hoped that the successor would be Prince Chen.

Although he is a eunuch, he also cares about the country, hopes that the country will be peaceful and prosperous, not be bullied by other countries, and hopes that the people will live and work in peace.

Only when the country becomes prosperous and strong will their lives in the palace be better.

Xiao Chenyi’s shortcoming is that he has no help from his mother’s family.

But he has the old prime minister and Shangshu Feng.

As long as he can convince these two.

As for the remaining princes, not to mention their poor abilities, their mothers are also not easy to deal with.

He was not respectful enough to the eunuch who was promoted later.

but……

When did this Prince Chen become so rebellious?

He had already told him the latest news and asked him to go to the palace as soon as possible. Wasn't it clear that he wanted to surrender?

He came specially to issue the decree just to inform him. How could the Prince of Chen not cooperate with him?

Isn't it just a matter of accepting an imperial decree? It doesn't mean he should get married right away!

It seems a bit unintelligent...

Hua An blinked at Xiao Chenyi, and blinked again...

Xiao Chenyi couldn't help laughing.

"Eunuch Hua, this imperial edict has not been stamped with the imperial seal yet, so it is not valid. Let's go, I will go to the palace with you."

Once you receive the imperial decree, you cannot escape it.

Take it back to the palace now before it is stamped.

"Look at my brain!" Hua An suddenly realized and slapped his head hard.

I really lose my mind when I'm anxious!

How can it be considered an imperial edict if it’s not even stamped with the imperial seal?

He immediately cheered up: "Prince Chen and I will go back to the palace together, and we can ask the emperor what is going on with this imperial edict."

Ok, deal!

If others tried to stop him, he would say that he was the one who issued the decree, but the Prince of Chen discovered that he did not seal it with the imperial seal. Then the Prince of Chen would ask to go back to the palace with him to ask the Emperor.

Yes, that’s right. He was not the one who told Prince Chen that the emperor had fainted.

The situation is chaotic now. Who knows whether the princes have planted spies in Prince Chen's Palace.

"Okay, Eunuch Hua, please wait a moment. I will comfort my wife first." Prince Chen soon noticed Eunuch Hua's cautiousness.

The person in charge, Yun Xi, went back inside, turned around and summoned the secret guards, and quickly started to make arrangements.

His father's coma might be his best chance.

It is impossible to kill your father, but it is necessary to be prepared.

He dared to guarantee that the other princes must have been sharpening their knives long ago.

Even if my father can recover his health, it would be a good idea to deal with those brats first.

Without any other princes to choose from, what else can the emperor do except choose him?

Oh, and there’s Prince An!

Xiao Chenyi frowned slightly, called another secret guard and told him to keep an eye on Prince An.

He would never allow any accidents to happen.

When he was giving orders and making arrangements, Yun Xi was by his side the whole time, which was also intentional.

Time is running out and there is no time to repeat it.

He must let Yun Xi know what he is doing, what he will do, and what arrangements he has.

In this way, at the critical moment, Yun Xi will know how to cooperate with him.

There were a lot of things to do, but Xiao Chenyi only spent a few minutes.

He had planned these manpower long ago.

Seeing Xiao Chenyi come out quickly, Prince An, who was waiting outside, breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that if time went on too long, something unexpected would happen in the palace.

"Your Highness, do you... want to bring some people into the palace with you?" Prince An couldn't help but remind.

Xiao Chenyi nodded: "Well, I will arrange it."

All the way to the gate, there were only a dozen guards following the Prince of Chen, and Hua An felt very nervous.

With just these few people, what can they do?

Forget it, forget it, it doesn’t matter to him, why is he in such a hurry?

It's a blessing, not a curse, but it's a curse that cannot be avoided.

Whether Prince Chen can seize the opportunity depends on whether he has the blessing.

He could only help so far.

As soon as Xiao Chenyi left, Yun Xi immediately summoned the housekeeper and the palace guards, asking them all to be on high alert and ready for battle.

All the servants in the mansion were ready for a big battle at any time.

Guards were deployed at all the gates and low walls of the mansion.

Time passed quickly. Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and the King of Chen still hadn't returned.

From time to time, servants who went out to gather information would come back to deliver messages.

The streets of the capital city had begun to become restless. Yun Xi didn't want to wait any longer, so she decisively increased the intensity of the defense.

The night enveloped the palace, and the high walls and deep courtyards looked gloomy and solemn under the moonlight.

Outside the gate, two rows of fully armed soldiers stood upright, their spears gleaming coldly in the moonlight. Their eyes were as sharp as torches, scanning the surroundings vigilantly, not missing any slight movement.

The vermilion gate was tightly closed, and several crossbowmen were standing on the trees hidden inside the wall, their bowstrings taut, their arrows flashing a faint cold light. The heavy bolt seemed to speak of the majesty of the palace, which could not be easily violated.

Outside the palace wall, there was a sentry patrolling back and forth every few steps. They were wearing heavy armor, their footsteps were heavy and orderly, and the friction of the armor was particularly clear in the silent night.

Inside the palace, there was a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps. The soldiers held sharp blades, looked solemn, and were ready for battle. In the dark, the hidden sentries had sharp eyes, ready to respond to any emergency at any time.

In the brightly lit lobby, Yun Xi and Hei Yi and Hei San, who were in charge of guarding the palace this time, had solemn expressions on their faces as they nervously discussed the strategic deployment.

Things happened too suddenly, and the Prince of Chen could only mobilize 10,000 soldiers in the capital. They had to be prepared to support the Prince at any time.

"Hei Yi, send someone to tell Mr. Pu to come here as soon as possible."

"Yes, it has been arranged." Hei nodded.

"Hei San, has everyone in the mansion entered a state of alert?"

"Yes, Princess! All the servants have changed into neat short combat uniforms and have put their weapons on their backs."

Yun Xi nodded slowly.

She knew that the incident happened suddenly, and the weapons given to the servants were just some common knives and forks.

"Where's the tunnel?"

She was very glad that when she designed the General's Mansion for Xiao Chenyi, she had specially set up a large cellar. After returning to the capital, she also had a sudden idea and designed a tunnel, and asked Hei San to lead people to dig it from under the palace to the outside.

"The tunnel has been dug according to the princess's arrangement." Hei San replied.

When the princess asked him to dig a tunnel, he was very reluctant.

I think it is totally unnecessary, a waste of time and money, and inexplicable.

Even now, he doesn't think it is necessary.

The prince is so powerful that he has no need for cellars and tunnels.
