Xie Jingrui, who was hiding in the dark, looked at the scene in front of him, and his black eyes suddenly widened a little.

The Crown Prince in front of him suddenly got up from the bed and stared straight in the direction of Xie Jingrui.

Xie Jingrui quickly hid himself.

When the Crown Princess heard the news, she quickly followed him into the room. When she saw the scene, she was so frightened that her face turned pale and her legs went slightly weak.

The maid stepped forward and supported the Crown Princess, and whispered, "Crown Princess, His Royal Highness, hasn't it been already......"

The maid didn't dare to say the last words.

The Crown Princess walked out of the room with the help of her maid, and then said to the servant, "Go, go and bring back that old man."

The Crown Princess spoke with a trembling body.

She glanced at the prince in the room and saw that he was still sitting on the bed as if he had lost his soul. She signaled the servants to help her outside.

She had just sat down when the candlelight in the Crown Prince's room suddenly flickered.

"What's going on?" The Crown Princess asked vigilantly.

The maid also began to tense up as she looked towards the prince's bedroom.

"The candle is out!" the maid stammered.

I felt a chill down my spine, my eyes fixed on the door in front of me.

The Crown Princess could no longer sit still.

She got up in a hurry and stood outside the yard.

After Xie Jingrui came out of the prince's palace, he returned to the emperor's bedroom with a strange look on his face.

The secret guard came forward to greet him.

Seeing his puzzled look, she asked, "My Lord, what happened outside?"

"Or have they already started taking action?" the secret guard asked in a low voice.

Xie Jingrui shook his head, took the teacup beside him, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it in big gulps.

After a moment, he slowly spoke, "You have been walking around outside for so long. Have you ever seen a dead person rotting? What kind of potion can restore the skin to its original state after wiping it?"

The secret guard nodded slightly; "I have seen these before, but there are few people like this, so many people don't know about it."

Xie Jingrui frowned and asked, "Can a person be brought back to life after using that kind of potion?"

The secret guard was stunned for a moment, and the confusion on his face became more and more obvious; "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? I don't understand what you want to ask."

"It's that kind of potion that can restore the skin after use. Can it make people look like they were alive again?" Xie Jingrui explained.

Just now when I was in the prince's bedroom, I saw that the prince's eyes were dark and bright, as if he was alive.

The secret guard explained, "It is impossible for a dead person to be resurrected. It must be an illusion created by something. Rumor has it that by using the corpse-driving technique, a person can appear to be resurrected from the dead."

Xie Jingrui nodded slightly.

He took the teacup in front of him and drank another cup.

Then he asked, "Did anything happen just now?"

The secret guard shook his head gently and replied, "Nothing, everything is normal."

The words fell.

Suddenly there was a sound of fighting outside the door.

Xie Jingrui stood up immediately.

Look outside.

I saw that the place was surrounded by a group of royal guards outside.

The secret guard clenched the sword in his hand and stood in front of Xie Jingrui. "Your Highness, you hide in the underground palace. We are here."

Xie Jingrui took the flare and released it into the sky.

There was a flash of light in the sky.

Everyone started to act separately.

On the streets of Kyoto City, many people in black began to confront the army led by Liu Fufeng.

The Twenty-Four Solar Terms Army bore the brunt of the attack, protecting Liu Fufeng and Gu Po behind them.

Seeing this, the witch flew up.

He put the thing in his hand towards the men in black.

Those men in black stopped what they were doing instantly.

Standing there motionless.

The Twenty-Four Solar Terms Army stood there in a daze, looking at the scene in front of them in disbelief.

After a long while, Liu Fufeng was the first to speak, "Let's go to the palace and rescue the emperor!"

Wherever the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Army passed, the heads of the men in black fell to the ground.

Rushed towards the palace.

The imperial guards outside Emperor Hexu's bedroom made way for him.

The Queen appeared from the direction of the aisle with a smug look on her face.

Xie Jingrui opened the emperor's door and stood in front of it.

Seeing this, the Empress said to Xie Jingrui, "How dare you, Xie Jingrui, to imprison the Emperor."

Xie Jingrui looked at the Queen with sharp eyes and asked, "Mother! Father has gone to bed, what do you want to do with so many Royal Guards?"

The Empress looked at the numerous imperial guards behind her, the greed on her face not diminishing at all; "I heard that the Emperor passed away, so I came to take a look."

Xie Jingrui's expression suddenly became more fierce and fell on the queen.

The smile on the queen's face gradually disappeared, and her eyes instantly became fierce; "Don't say those useless things. The entire palace and Kyoto City have been surrounded by our people. If you know your place and don't meddle in other people's business, we can still consider retaining your position as prince."

"What if I say no?" Xie Jingrui looked at the other person with a smile.

The queen's face darkened. "Then don't blame me for being merciless."

"The throne was originally to be inherited by the Crown Prince. Do you want to seize the throne?"

Xie Jingrui said coldly, "The Crown Prince's body is already rotten, what reason does the Queen Mother have to ask for the throne?"

The queen's expression changed slightly, and a hint of guilt flashed in her eyes.

But he soon thought of something, and when he looked up again, his gaze towards Xie Jingrui became cold and stern.

She raised her hand and gave orders to the royal guards behind her.

The Imperial Guards immediately launched an attack in the direction where Xie Jingrui was.

Just when those people were about to approach Xie Jingrui, a lot of black-clad secret guards came out from all directions and wrestled with the imperial guards.

The Queen narrowed her eyes slightly and stepped back.

Xie Jingrui said to the imperial guards in a cold voice, "Think carefully. If anyone participates in the rebellion today, all of their clans will be executed in the future!"

The imperial guards paused and slowed down their pace as they rushed towards Xie Jingrui.

The queen immediately noticed something was wrong with those people and said to them, "Even if you surrender now, your entire clan will be exterminated. The one standing in front of you is the cold-blooded prince Xie Jingrui. If you fall into his hands, your life will be even more terrible than being exterminated with your entire clan. But if you give it a try, you will succeed tonight."

"You are all heroes!"

"I promise you that whoever can chop off the head of the traitor Xie Jingrui will be made a first-rank general when the merit is rewarded."

The words fell.

Those people became extremely excited...

Inside the palace, swords were flashing and the place was in chaos!
