Reborn Princess

In the Imperial City Prison, Yang Zhen's reaction was mediocre after being rescued by Xue Songyuan.

Xue Songyuan looked at the person sitting on the wooden chair and asked, "Who do you think, Prime Minister Yang, would take such a big risk to come to the Imperial City Prison to assassinate you?"

Yang Zhen looked at the flickering candlelight in the prison and sneered, "Who else but Zhou Cechen has such great power?"

Xue Songyuan was silent for a moment and then said, "It's Zhou Jingmo's people."

Yang Zhen's calm eyes suddenly became uneasy, "What do you mean?"

"It's not us, it's you, King Xuan." A voice came, Yang Zhen and Xue Songyuan turned their heads and saw Song Yan in white clothes with his black hair tied up with a crown.

Song Yan came in with one hand clenched into a fist behind his back and a file in the other hand.

"Yang Zhen, you have done a lot of dirty things in private."

"Among them, they secretly formed an alliance with King Xuan, and also...treason and collaborating with the enemy!"

Yang Zhen's eyes were full of disdain, "I said, words are not enough."

Song Yan unfolded the file in his hand, "Here is the evidence, it's clearly written on it!"

"Why do you ask us?"

"Then let me tell you, your life was protected by Commander Xue, Zhou Jingmo wants to kill you!"

"As for why? Yang Zhen, don't you know the answer?"

Yang Zhen looked at the records in the file, then slumped in his chair and laughed out loud at himself.

"You're not still hoping that Zhou Jingmo will let you out after he ascends the throne, are you?"

"Your Yang family has such deep roots, and you have been planning for so many years. It's a pity that no one can save you now."

"Zhou Jingmo also wants to kill people to silence them."

Song Yan put away the file in his hand and said, "Why don't you tell us your plan as soon as possible."

Yang Zhen stroked his beard, his face looked more weathered and less charming than a few days ago, but his eyes still showed determination.

Finally, he just laughed and said, "The Great Qi has collapsed!"

Song Yan and Xue Songyuan looked at each other and then both left the cell.

"What does he mean?" Xue Songyan asked.

"It must be his plan to betray the country and collaborate with the enemy. I will report this to the emperor. I will also ask Commander Xue to protect Yang Zhen."

Xue Songyuan nodded, "Of course."

……

In the imperial study, Zhou Hengyan paced anxiously in the room, "Tell me, what should we do?"

"Shen Yizhou and Lu Zelin are both missing. Xiqi and Xijiang have been losing the battle. Xiqi has already captured two cities in a row."

"Let Commander Xue lead the troops to support us immediately!"

"Brother, don't you think about why General Shen and General Lu were ambushed repeatedly during their marches, and why Yang Qian was defeated repeatedly when he led his troops to fight?"

Zhou Hengyan looked at Zhou Cechen, "You mean that some of these people are colluding with the Xiqi Kingdom and there are rebels."

Zhou Cechen nodded.

At this time, Chang Cisheng suddenly came in to report: "Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened. Soldiers from inside and outside the city of Yanjing have suddenly gathered, and they are led by...by Prince Xuan and are heading straight to the palace!"

When Zhou Hengyan heard the news, it was like thunder in his ears. He almost lost his breath, "What!"

"You bastard! You actually take this opportunity to rebel!" Zhou Hengyan slammed the table in anger.

Suddenly thinking of something, he calmed down and opened a compartment behind the cabinet in the imperial study. When he opened the drawer, the half imperial edict inside was gone.

"The traitor! The traitor!"

Zhou Hengyan said: "Hurry up and ask the commander of the imperial guards Xue Songyuan to come here. I will order all the generals to lead the troops to defend the city!"

After hearing what Zhou Hengyan said, Chang Cisheng was about to leave the imperial study. Zhou Cechen looked at him and suddenly said, "Wait."

Chang Cisheng stopped halfway and looked at Zhou Cechen with a puzzled look, "What does Prince Ding'an want to tell you?"

"Are you going to summon Commander Xue to the palace, or are you going to fake an imperial decree and ask Commander Xue to lead his troops to support King Xuan in the name of defending the city?"

After hearing what Zhou Cechen said, Zhou Hengyan suddenly turned his head and looked at Chang Cisheng, "You!"

"Someone, come and arrest Chang Ci Sheng for me." Zhou Hengyan ordered.

Chang Ci Sheng's face suddenly changed and he pulled out a dagger and was about to stab Zhou Hengyan in the chest.

Zhou Hengyan grabbed Chang Cisheng's arm and pushed him away. Chang Cisheng looked at him fiercely, "Prepare to die!"

Zhou Cechen immediately put down the tea bowl in his hand, walked forward and kicked Chang Cisheng away.

The guards outside came in and immediately subdued Chang Ci Sheng.

"The Great Qi is destroyed! The Great Qi is destroyed!" Chang Ci Sheng shouted, and the guards immediately covered his mouth and dragged him away.

After Chang Ci Sheng was dragged away, Zhou Hengyan was about to call Zhao Feng out but was stopped by Zhou Cechen.

"Brother, please be patient."

Zhou Hengyan looked at him, "Do you have a new plan?"

Zhou Cechen took out two imperial ink orders from his chest.

"It's all here."

"How come you have two imperial edicts?" Zhou Hengyan frowned.

"One for you, and one for the Shen family."

"Your Majesty, don't worry about the war in Western Xinjiang. General Shen will return victorious. I will explain the rest to you when I come back. I request to assist the commander of the Imperial Guards in leading the troops out of the city." Zhou Cechen bowed to Zhou Hengyan.

Zhou Hengyan was moved, and he said, "Go ahead."

When Zhou Cechen walked out of the imperial study, he passed by Song Yan. Song Yan nodded to Zhou Cechen. After the two exchanged glances, one walked out and the other walked in.

"Your Majesty, I have verified all of Yang Shang's crimes over the years, and all the evidence is included in the book. Please take a look, Your Majesty." Song Yan handed the file to Zhou Hengyan.

Zhou Hengyan took the file and read it from beginning to end, his eyes solemn.

……

Inside the Ding'an Prince's Palace, Zhao Ruyun got off the carriage, stood at the gate of the palace, and looked up at the plaque.

The maid immediately stepped forward and said to the servant at the door: "Please report that Princess Xuan wants to see you."

Inside the palace, Zhao Ruyun was led inside by a servant.

Shen Xuanlan stood on the second floor of Xiaolanxuan and watched Zhao Ruyun being brought in. Her eyes were deep.

"The Queen is waiting for you on the second floor, just go up." Chao Yun said.

"The queen said she doesn't like outsiders to enter her courtyard, so there's no need to bring the maid with her."

Zhao Ruyun glanced at Chaoyun and then at her maid and said, "Wait downstairs."

"Yes."

Zhao Ruyun slowly walked to the second floor and saw Shen Lilan standing on a terrace.

Looking at her back, Zhao Ruyun paused for a moment and continued walking forward.
