On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle
Chapter 262 Crisis
When Chen Yunyou saw the crown prince was about to leave, he quickly stopped him, "Your Highness, wait a minute!"
"It's too risky for you to go back like this. I mean you should send someone to pretend to be a vegetable vendor and go back to your house to investigate."
"If everything is OK, it won't be too late to go back!"
Li Xin suddenly realized, "Brother Chen is really thoughtful. OK, I will send someone to do it right away!"
He had acted inappropriately just now. Firstly, he had not been back to the capital for a long time, and he had no idea what the situation was like in the Prince's Mansion now. Going back rashly might be disadvantageous to him.
On the other hand, there must be many people lurking outside the Prince's Mansion. If he goes back openly like this, it will inevitably arouse suspicion!
Li Xin immediately asked the disguised guard beside him to carry a load of vegetables and go back to inquire.
In just an incense stick of time, the guard hurried back and reported: "When I returned home, I happened to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was going to the palace. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked you to go with the Chief Emissary to look for Lord Xie first."
"The envoy is worried about exposing your whereabouts, so he is waiting at the wine shop to buy wine. Your Highness, let's go there now!"
Li Xin's face lit up with joy when he heard that, but when he was about to leave, he thought of something.
He patted Chen Yunyou's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will talk to Lord Xie about your matter!"
"It may be a bit uneasy outside these days, so try to stay in the yard. I'll have someone bring you food!"
Chen Yunyou thanked the other party for his kindness, "Your Highness, please take care of yourself too!"
When he heard that his uncle had returned to Beijing, his heart was not as calm as his face showed.
Although I really want to meet my uncle, I know that now is not a good time.
Song Xile, who was standing by, looked at her husband's stunned expression and said softly, "Soon, you will be able to see your family soon!"
Chen Yun turned around, held his wife's hand, and nodded heavily.
That night, after a day of traveling, the couple had just laid down when they heard the neighing of horses' hooves on the street.
In the intervals, you can hear the sound of armor and weapons colliding.
Song Xile's heart trembled.
Is this the beginning?
I wonder how many people will not survive this night!
There were quite a few people in the city who heard such noise. The world had just been at peace, and the city had been sealed off for such a long time, so when the people heard such noise, they all hid in their homes and trembled.
The people who had lit lanterns were afraid that the lights in their homes would attract soldiers and invaders, so they immediately ordered their people to extinguish the candles.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
Outside the Meridian Gate, the sound of killing was deafening. The Imperial Guards were being defeated by the defenders of the capital and had to retreat step by step, constantly closing in their defenses.
Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the emperor had a pale face and was supported by the crown prince as he stood by the door. He looked grimly at the palace outside where flames were blazing.
Along with the bursts of impact, dull sounds echoed in the air and the ground began to tremble slightly.
Each impact was like a sledgehammer, hitting the door hard, making a low and powerful thud.
The heavy city gate seemed unable to withstand such a heavy blow and kept shaking, as if it would be broken in at the next moment.
As the sounds of siege grew louder, the old emperor's face grew paler and paler, and he gripped the prince's hand tighter and tighter.
The prince standing aside could clearly feel the anger permeating around his father.
Under the flickering firelight, the prince couldn't help but raise his lips to a mocking smile, which then disappeared.
All I heard was a loud "boom".
The city gate was still broken open, and a tide of soldiers poured in with great momentum.
Batches of guards fell in front of the palace gate, and the compressed defense line became smaller and smaller.
Seeing that the Imperial Guards were doomed, they could no longer defend against the enemy's offensive.
The fourth prince pushed aside his confidants and rode forward slowly, "Brother, you should surrender. Perhaps I can spare your life!"
Without waiting for the prince to refute, the old emperor said with trembling hands, "Shut up, you evil son!"
Although the old emperor's voice was trembling with anger, it was full of unquestionable majesty. He gasped and said sternly: "How can I allow you to kill my brothers and usurp my kingdom in the name of injustice!"
"Crown Prince, you were personally conferred the title by me, and your actions are tantamount to regicide, which is intolerable to heaven!"
"Father, you are confused!" The fourth prince's eyes turned cold and his tone was full of gloom.
"I am just following the trend of the times and looking for a more capable monarch for this country. Brother is weak, how can he take on this important task? I am the most suitable candidate!"
"Humph, ability? Your so-called 'ability' is to collude with foreign enemies, murder loyal officials, and subvert the government?" The old emperor's eyes were wide open with anger.
"Although I am old, my eyes are not blind and my heart is not dead! I know everything you have done!"
The fourth prince said indifferently: "Father, the situation has been decided. You should just enjoy your retirement in peace. As for the crown prince, I will give him a decent treatment, which will be worthy of our brothers."
The emperor could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood when he heard his son's rebellious words.
The prince exclaimed, "Father!"
The emperor slumped in his son's arms, pointing with trembling fingers at the fourth son on the horse who attempted to kill his brother and usurp the throne, and he stammered and could not utter a word for a long time.
The prince looked at the determined Fourth Brother with a cold look in his eyes, "Are you really determined to do it your own way?"
After spending half a day talking to the Fourth Prince, he was actually already impatient. He was too lazy to talk nonsense and waved his hand, signaling the soldiers behind him to intensify the attack.
At this moment, a large number of crossbowmen appeared on the city wall, aiming at the Fourth Prince and his entourage.
When the Fourth Prince saw this, he suddenly felt something was wrong and was immediately surrounded by a group of crossbowmen.
Immediately afterwards, some of the enemy's soldiers who were charging into battle suddenly changed direction and pointed their weapons at the Fourth Prince and his entourage.
Seeing this, the Fourth Prince had nothing to understand.
The soldiers under his command had been instigated to rebel, and today's events might have already been in the hands of his father. Thinking of this, his hand holding the sharp blade could not help but tremble.
However, Uncle Yang was unwilling to surrender like this. He urged, "My men, charge over and take over the palace. There are more than 100,000 troops outside to support us."
At this time, the sound of armor colliding in formation was heard again outside the palace, and it was particularly loud in the silent night sky.
Yang Guojiu's face changed and he looked back. A group of soldiers wearing armor and holding elite weapons surrounded the group.
One of them was riding a tall horse and slowly approached. His face gradually became clear under the light of the fire.
The person who came was Lord Xie, who was guarding the border!
After seeing this, the Fourth Prince had nothing to understand.
He closed his eyes in despair, and the sharp blade in his hand fell to the ground dejectedly.
He lost this round!
