The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

You Heng died without any warning or expectation, killed by a single sword strike.

Prince Yu drew out his sword, his face looking very strange. He really had never thought that You Heng would be so stupid as to block the sword for a woman.

There was a strange silence in the hall, while the sound of weapons clashing outside the hall was getting closer. Suddenly, Prince Yu sneered, looking at You Heng who was no longer breathing, and mocked the face of Emperor Chen:

"Father, isn't it clear now? You Heng is protecting his own woman and child!"

"My mother is so affectionate to you, but what about you? You are doting on such a bitch!"

As the Emperor's face gradually turned livid, Prince Yu pointed his sword at Concubine Yu again. Concubine Yu was still being held down by Prince Yu's men, but this time, the Emperor did not speak, and Concubine Yu was left without protection.

To Prince Yu's surprise, after You Heng's death and the truth being exposed by Prince Yu, Concubine Yu stopped crying and her face was calm without any ripples.

"You are not afraid?"

Waving the sword in his hand, Prince Yu was a little surprised, slowed down his movements and asked.

But Concubine Yu chuckled and looked at him with disdain.

Prince Yu was puzzled by this smile, and some doubts arose in his heart. Now the situation was leaning towards him, even if the prince returned, the situation was already determined, and there was no doubt that he was the emperor of Qi. Why should he be mocked by a woman in the harem!

Frowning, Prince Yu asked again unhappily: "What are you laughing at!"

"I laugh. Your Highness Prince Yu, without Concubine Xiao and Marquis Xiao... is really stupid."

Concubine Yu sneered. After she finished speaking, a long arrow came through the window and shot straight into Prince Yu's head. His temple was pierced, and Prince Yu fell down without saying a word.

Something unexpected happened, and the men who were holding Concubine Yu on one side panicked. They didn't care about holding Concubine Yu and hurried over to check.

......Prince Yu has already died.

The successive misfortunes made the sick Emperor Chen confused. He stared blankly at the fallen Prince Yu and the dead You Heng, not knowing whether to be relieved that the evil son had been eliminated, or sad about the successive deaths of his two sons.

It was not until the palace door was pushed open again and the Emperor heard Concubine Yu calling him "Your Highness" from the steps that he suddenly looked up.

Prince Lingwang walked slowly forward and stood at the bottom of the steps without saying a word.

"Prince, are you here to rescue me, or... to force me to abdicate?" Even though Prince Yu had suddenly plotted a rebellion, the prince's return to the capital would take much later than expected.

Not to mention, the other party was well-prepared with armor, even the attendants beside the prince were dressed in military uniforms.

The prince held the sword in his hand, shook off the excess blood, did not answer, but pushed the attendant beside him in front of the Emperor.

"Father, do you still recognize him?"

The Emperor narrowed his eyes and focused. He naturally recognized this person, the palace servant that the Crown Prince severely whipped last time. But if it was really just a palace servant, he would not have been called to come closer by the Crown Prince.

As the young general took off his mask and touched the burn scar, even though his appearance was completely different, Emperor Chen was still shocked by the guess in his mind.

Last time, he did not take a close look at the appearance of the palace servant.

"Your Highness, I, Lou Jian, pay my respects to the late Emperor."

When the emperor began to become suspicious, the person involved revealed his identity to him.

"You...you guys..." The Emperor was surprised and angry. He was speechless for a moment and stretched out his fingers, which kept circling between the Prince and Lou Jian.

After a while, his dry throat uttered a hoarse voice: "You are here... to avenge me... You have been pretending too well before..."

"Why revenge? I just want to get my things back." Revenge? He thought his father didn't care. It turned out that the other party also knew that what happened was a mistake.

In front of the Emperor, the prince took Lou Jian's free hand, dragged his sword, and slowly walked up the stairs.

The tip of the sword scratched the carpet, and the sound of it hitting the ground made a sharp echo, which reached the ears of Emperor Chen and made his heart palpitate.

"You Mu, I am your father! If you dare to kill your father, how can your mother rest in peace in the underworld!" The emperor shouted to boost his courage, and with nothing in his hands and no way to defend himself, he retreated without a trace, while scolding loudly.

If the prince wants to ascend the throne, he must be forced to write an imperial edict. The emperor was thinking about what words could save his life.

But my thoughts were interrupted.

The prince ignored his roar, glanced at Lou Jian, and spoke to himself: "Father, I have not yet married. After I ascend the throne, I will naturally have a queen."

"How about Lou Jian? He is the child of my mentor, and I love him. I think they are a perfect match."

The Emperor was wary of the sword in the prince's hand, and looked around, trying to find a suitable self-defense object. However, because Concubine Yu was pregnant, he personally ordered that all sharp objects in the palace be removed.

Hearing You Mu's absurd words, the Emperor felt that it was absurd and retorted in the emperor's manner: "Absurd! It's totally nonsense. How can the mother of a country be a man...!"

This time, the prince was unable to finish his familiar words of reprimand.

He lowered his eyebrows, and the narrow corners of his eyes revealed a thick fog and haze that could not be dispelled. When the emperor was caught off guard, the prince raised his hand and swung his sword, and with a light and silent sword force, he easily cut the emperor's throat.

The Emperor fell down, holding his neck, his eyes bloodshot, staring at the Crown Prince.

The prince stepped on the bright yellow hem of the emperor's robe, lowered his head, and wiped the blood off the sword with the emperor's shirt. He raised his eyes, his pupils were dark as hell, and he sneered:

"Father, may I ask you to stop?"

No one responded. The Emperor's blood had pooled together and his hands were covered in blood that couldn't be stopped from gushing out.

He couldn't speak, and as he was about to die, he could only stare at the prince's pupils.

But the prince above said more:

"You were once dissatisfied with my indecisiveness. If I can't give up, I can't take on great responsibilities. Now, can I satisfy you, father?"

"Without my father, I will be the emperor of Daqi."

You Mu didn't get an answer, and the Emperor Chen's pupils gradually dilated, showing a dead look.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw the jade pendant still on the Emperor's waist. The tip of the sword was slightly raised, and the waist belt was cut off.

"My mother gave me this jade pendant. Father, please don't dirty it. I'd better keep it myself."

Taking the jade pendant from the Emperor's waist, the prince stood up and left with his companions, not even glancing at the Emperor behind him...

The noise outside the palace continued from the late night until the early morning of the next day.

When something happened in the previous dynasty, the people in the harem were like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others. When they heard some rumors, they locked the palace gates tightly, and the brave ones tried to escape from the palace during the chaos.

But among them, only Concubine Xiao, who was locked in the bedroom, propped herself up and sat on the couch, wearing the gorgeous clothes she wore for the palace banquet, waiting for her son to come to the harem to welcome her, the empress dowager.

"... Cough cough." Concubine Xiao's health was not as good as before. After sitting all night, she felt a little exhausted. Listening to the sounds from the outside world and looking at the golden sunlight shining on the window paper after sunrise, her heart was filled with great expectations.

Concubine Xiao still loves the emperor, but because of the conspiracy and instigation of the villain, she falls out with the emperor one after another, which makes her realize that the emperor is unreliable.

Only her son, Prince Yu, is her only support.

Looking down, Concubine Xiao saw a wrinkle on the hem of her dress and quickly smoothed it out, then touched her heavy head of pearls and jade. When Cheng'er took her out of Xiafang Palace, she wanted to wear this outfit to see the Emperor, her former lover.

After sitting for too long, my shoulders and back began to feel weak. The senior palace maid beside me said she was going to look for food, but after spending a long time, she showed no sign of returning.

Princess Xiao sighed, then held up the mirror and used powder to cover the dark circles under her eyes to hide her haggard look.

She took some powder with her fingertips and dotted it on the corners of her eyes, carefully smoothing out the fine lines. As she moved, she could faintly hear the sound of iron colliding through the door.

Mu Laiwan did not do this for the reputation of saving the emperor, but to take into account his own military strength and first wear down the imperial guards and the people in Prince Yu's hands. He needed to ensure that his actions were foolproof and without error.

Otherwise, the only group of people behind him would suffer, and he could not afford for such a thing to happen again.
