"My dear ministers, why don't you speak?"

"You guys should talk!"

"Don't you quarrel in the court every day? Why aren't you talking now?"

Everyone knelt down one after another: "Your Majesty, please calm down!"

The old eunuch beside the emperor pleaded in a shrill voice: "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself!"

"Dragon body? Now that group of rebels are about to attack the gate of Dadu, and you tell me to take care of your body? What use do I have for you?"

"What's the use!!!"

"I am guilty of death, Your Majesty, please calm down!"

"Death penalty, death penalty, you only know how to say death penalty! In our great Yuan Dynasty, is there not even a single brave warrior who dares to fight?"

Just as the emperor was still furious in the court, a quick and hurried sound of footsteps was heard. A soldier in armor rushed into the hall, not caring at all that the ministers were still kneeling in the hall.

The soldier who rushed into the hall knelt on one knee in front of the emperor, clasped his fists and shouted, "Your Majesty, the traitor Hu Rui has appeared outside the city gate with his mecha troop."

After the soldier finished shouting, he kowtowed to the emperor, turned around and left the hall, running towards the city gate.

When the emperor was about to say something, he heard hurried footsteps again. The emperor thought it was the soldier who had just left coming back, but it turned out to be another soldier.

"Your Majesty, the rebel Hu Rui has broken through the city gate and is heading towards the inner city." After saying this, the soldier turned around and left the hall again.

The emperor slumped down on the dragon throne with a look of despair on his face. "So fast? Could it be that these mecha troops are heavenly soldiers and generals?"

The eunuch who had been kneeling beside the emperor crawled to his side and said, "Your Majesty, please move! Take care of your health!"

The ministers kneeling in the hall, who were not even as strong as the imperial guards, were surprised that the city gate was breached so quickly. They all began to ask the emperor to move and save his body.

The deathly silent hall seemed to be suddenly lit up.

Seeing the emperor sitting on the dragon throne in a daze, the old eunuch no longer cared about the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects. He stood up and started to drag the emperor out of the hall. The emperor was dragged by the old eunuch stiffly, walking out of the hall step by step.

At this time, hurried footsteps were heard outside the hall. A soldier ran into the hall quickly, knelt on his knees, panting and shouting: "Your Majesty, the traitor Hu Rui brought the mecha troops to the Ruyang Palace and brought out the family members of the Ruyang Palace. Now he is heading towards the Heavenly Prison."

When the emperor heard that Prince Ruyang had actually colluded with this gang of rebels, he was so angry that he threw the old eunuch away and said, "Asshole! Prince Ruyang, I have treated you well, why are you rebelling against me?"

Then he shouted to the outside of the door: "Someone come!"

The guards standing guard outside the door immediately entered the hall and waited for orders.

"Go tell the commander of the Imperial Guards that I want the heads of Prince Ruyang and his entire family. If he can't get them, I will chop off the heads of his entire family!"

"According to the order!"

After the guards left, the emperor sat back on the dragon throne, slapped his hands on the armrests, and looked at the ministers kneeling in the hall with cold eyes.

What a shame, what a shame! These rebels did not come for me, but to save the rebels in Ruyang Palace.

While feeling extremely humiliated, the emperor also felt fortunate. As the emperor of the Yuan Empire, with the noble bloodline of the Golden Family, how could he tolerate such humiliation?

Die! The entire family of Prince Ruyang must die before me!

Don't you want to save Prince Ruyang? Okay, I'll let you take a bunch of corpses back.

While the emperor was still angry in the hall, Hu Rui had already brought Zhao Min and Prince Ruyang's family to the gate of the Heavenly Prison.

"Sister Xiaorui, this is it."

Hu Rui nodded: "Open the way!"

Upon hearing this, the two mecha warriors stepped forward and kicked the prison door open. The nervous prison boss at the door was kicked and fell to the ground with his arms and legs spread out, blood gushing out of his mouth.

Hu Rui came to his side and said, "If you want to live, take me to release Prince Ruyang."

The jailer nodded hurriedly, ignoring the pain in his body, and struggled to get up from the ground: "You, please come with me!"

At Hu Rui's signal, two mecha warriors followed the jailer on both sides and walked into the sky prison. Hu Rui turned around and said to the mecha warriors behind her, "Wait here," and followed them into the sky prison.

After following the prison boss down several flights of stairs, we finally arrived at the bottom floor. The dim cell was damp and stuffy, and filled with a foul smell.

The jailer took Hu Rui to the innermost cell and quickly opened the prison door. As soon as Zhao Min arrived at the cell door, she saw her brother and father lying inside. She couldn't help crying, "Dad! Brother! I'm Minmin!"

Prince Ruyang and Wang Baobao, who were lying in the prison, thought that someone was coming to interrogate them for evidence of treason, and had no intention of getting up. Until they heard Zhao Min crying.

Wang Baobao climbed up from the haystack and looked at Zhao Min outside the prison door: "Minmin, you guys?"

Prince Ruyang also turned around from the haystack and looked at Hu Rui beside Zhao Min. After carefully observing Hu Rui's appearance, he said: "I have long heard of the great name of Madam Hu of Lin'an. It turns out that a woman is as good as a man!"

Hu Rui clasped her fists towards Prince Ruyang and said, "Your Highness, thank you for the compliment. Let's leave here! I really don't like the environment here."

"It was Minmin who asked you for help?"

Hu Rui didn't say anything after hearing this. Zhao Min, who was still crying, also stopped crying. After hearing her father's question, she said, "Dad, is this court worthy of your loyalty?"

Prince Ruyang sighed softly: "Alas, Dad has worked so hard for the court over the years, but I didn't expect to be labeled a traitor in his later years."

"Dad, wake up! Sister Xiaorui, you brought more than a hundred people to break into the so-called impregnable capital, do you think this is a coincidence? The court is in such a corrupt situation now, can you really turn the tide by yourself?"

"Dad, a wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in! Dynasties have always changed since ancient times. If you serve me now, even if you don't have the throne in the future, you will still be a duke. Why would you work for an emperor who is suspicious of you?"

"But Dad can't get over this hurdle in his heart!" There was some indescribable emotion in Prince Ruyang's tone.

"Dad, even if you don't do this for yourself, you should consider your brother! What have we gained from serving the court? Calculation and suspicion. If Sister Xiaorui and the others don't come, there will be only one way to greet our palace: the whole family will be executed! Dad, do you really want to see that?"

Zhao Min's words made King Ruyang sigh again: "Take your brother and the others and go!"

Wang Baobao was also anxious: "Dad, if you don't leave, I won't leave either!"

Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Zhao Min could only look at Hu Rui.

Hu Rui shrugged her shoulders and said to the guards on both sides: "Go! Invite these two out! It's really fancy."
