Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

Liang Tianyou and Ye Zhishao were a few steps apart. "We were ordered to escort His Highness the Ninth Prince back to the Forty-Nine City, but we were attacked several times on the way. I think everyone knows who did it. His Highness the Ninth Prince was shot in the chest and is in danger. We came here to ask the imperial physician to save his life, not to break into the forbidden palace. Why does Commander Ye have to show off his authority?"

Ye Zhishao was overjoyed. Sure enough, when General Chen took action, there was nothing he couldn't accomplish. In imminent danger? In imminent danger, that was good. He had to guard the palace gate. It was impossible to ask the imperial physician to leave.

Ye Zhishao narrowed his eyes and looked at the person opposite him: "You said you are Liang Tianyou, so you are Liang Tianyou? You are from Daliang, but you grew up in Northern Jin. I have never seen you, so why should I trust you? What if you are a spy sent by Northern Jin to Daliang?"

The imperial guards then remembered that General Liang's young grandson, the Ninth Prince, and the son of Duke Shu were all kidnapped by criminals in the temple on the same day, twenty years ago. It was not until two and a half months ago that news came back that the three were found in Northern Jin.

The imperial guards looked at each other, but also unconsciously took two steps back.

Liang Tianyou looked at Ye Zhishao coldly: "My Liang family is loyal to Daliang. You don't recognize me, I don't blame you, but this is my grandfather's token, don't you recognize it?"

"It's just a token. It's a dead object. It's not enough to be used as evidence."

"Does Commander Ye want His Highness the Ninth Prince to die?"

"Oh, I cannot bear the heavy accusation you put on me. I am the commander of the Daliang Imperial Guards. If I let you in before your identity is known, I would be putting the safety of the Queen, the Crown Prince, and the ladies in the other palaces at risk! Who can prove whether your so-called Ninth Prince is real or fake? Who knows, you might be a spy from some other country."

"I don't care whether you are really the grandson of General Liang, but I have never seen you in the Forbidden City. I don't think you know what a big event has happened in Daliang. The Jinyiwei and the East Factory are hunting down wanted criminals everywhere. If you don't want to die, leave quickly. Otherwise, don't blame us for being blind with our swords!"

The guards protecting Liang Tianyou said that their master was a spy from the enemy country, and they were all furious.

Liang Tianyou's eyebrows twitched. His purpose was not to conflict with these imperial guards, but to allow his ninth brother to enter the palace smoothly. He smiled faintly and put the sword into the scabbard.

"In that case, I will not waste my words with you. I will ask Commander Ye to send one or two highly skilled doctors to come out with me to save His Highness the Ninth Prince. I will not enter the palace."

Ye Zhishao glanced coldly at the guards who wanted to rush into the palace: "Oh, what a joke, this general doesn't even know who you are, how can I invite a doctor for you. My Daliang Emperor was killed, and all the doctors who were invited into the palace that day were detained. How can I help you bring one or two doctors out of the palace? Maybe this person is the suspect. Do you think that the guards of my Daliang Palace are just decorations!"

Liang Tianyou originally wanted to talk nicely, but seeing Ye Zhishao being so arrogant, he was so angry that his chest heaved. No wonder Uncle Ou asked him to be careful.

"Ye Zhishao, don't go too far. You killed the Ninth Prince. You have enough heads to chop off! I've already said that the Ninth Prince was shot in the heart and was in critical condition. I only brought one or two doctors to save the Ninth Prince's life! The emperor was killed by the old eunuch beside him. What does the doctor have to do with it!"

"Before the imperial doctors came into the palace, His Majesty was still alive. But after these imperial doctors came, His Majesty died in just half an hour. Do you think they are suspicious?"

They really didn't know this. The letter that the prince sent to his ninth brother was written very hastily, and they always thought that His Majesty had died on the spot.

But no matter what, Brother Nine's instructions must be done. Liang Tianyou stepped forward and said, "Brother Nine is in great danger. I must take the imperial physician away today! If Commander Ye is worried, you can send two imperial guards to go with him."

As soon as the words fell, the guards around Liang Tianyou immediately stepped forward, their bodies stained with blood: "Please call the imperial physician, call the imperial physician!"

Although there are only a dozen people, their momentum is not weak at all.

The imperial guards looked at each other. Although they also drew their swords, they had never been on the battlefield, so they were weaker in momentum than Liang Tianyou and others.

Ye Zhishao was furious. The tense atmosphere had not let up for days. The East Factory and the Embroidered Uniform Guard had been investigating the case for half a month, killing people one after another, but after such a long time, they still hadn't identified the real murderer and he was already furious. Now he saw that this so-called grandson of General Liang actually dared to break into the Forbidden Palace.

He was furious and shouted, "I'll see who dares to break into the forbidden palace today. It's tantamount to treason. Come on, kill them!"

Liang Tianyou would not fight with Ye Zhishao unless he had no other choice, but things had developed to this point and he had no choice but to take action.

In an instant, swords and knives clashed at the palace gate and cries of killing rang out.

The imperial guards who were patrolling the palace heard the noise and were startled: "What happened?"

"It seems like someone is trying to break into the palace!"

Leaving behind three or five people, the imperial guards picked up their swords and rushed towards the palace gate.

Xie Zhian and several other ministers who had not yet returned from their duties were discussing government affairs in the Council Hall. When they heard the noisy voices, they asked, "What happened?"

A young eunuch trotted over and said, "Your Excellency, it seems that someone is trying to break into the palace. There are quite a few of them. Commander Ye has already passed by."

Xie Zhian responded solemnly: "Well, there are not many guards at the palace gate. Pass my order to transfer 300 guards. If anyone dares to break into the palace, kill them without mercy!"

"Yes." Xie Zhian did not specify where the imperial guards should be transferred to. After thinking about it, he decided that the only place that could spare manpower was the Eastern Palace.

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been in the East Palace for the past half month and has never stepped out of the palace, it was said at the beginning that the crown prince cannot be confined to his room. The imperial guards are also patrolling there on a daily basis and hurried to pass on the order.

When the guards heard that it was Lord Xie's order, they immediately drew their swords and rushed to the palace gate.

Seeing this, the eunuchs and palace maids, who were already in a state of panic, turned pale with fright and immediately quickened their pace and left.

The Emperor's bedroom had been empty for a long time. Seeing the guards from the East Palace getting ready to leave, the guards here looked at each other, left three or five people behind, and followed them.

In an instant, only a few people were left on the road from the Emperor's bedroom to the East Palace.

After a while, the door of the emperor's bedroom was slowly pushed open, and a tall man and another thin man came out quietly.

Both of them were wearing night clothes, and the thin man walked towards the harem with his back hunched.

The tall man quickly flashed out of the emperor's bedroom, then crouched down and quietly moved towards the northeast corner of the palace.

This man was extremely fast. In just a moment, he had slipped into the palace with the tightly closed door.
