The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Xie Lin and Chu Heyi looked towards Wangshan at the same time, and all the court officials present became nervous.

Wen Tingshen was the first to ask, "Didn't you catch the Cheng Wang and his wife?"

Wang Shan panted and answered anxiously: "We were about to catch him. The guards protecting King Cheng were almost captured by us. It seemed that King Cheng was about to collapse, but, but..."

The more anxious Wangshan became, the more he couldn't speak.

Countless pairs of eyes looked at him eagerly, waiting for his next words.

Not to mention that Xie Lin and Chu Heyi both cared about the outcome, even the emperor who fell into Yao An's arms was very nervous.

However, the emperor was different from everyone else in his nervousness. Instead, he hoped that the Cheng Wang and his wife could fight on equal terms with the Xie Lin and his wife, so that he could reap the benefits.

He will have the chance to regain his throne and power, instead of having them taken away by Xie Lin and Chu Heyi so forcefully, and he can only agree against his will.

No one knew that just now, at the moment he handed over the power, he seemed to hear the voice of his own heart weeping blood. Now, King Cheng and his wife, who have not been captured yet, are his last hope.

I hope Xie Lin and his wife can be led away by Cheng Wang and his wife.

Wang Shan continued, "A team of several hundred people suddenly rushed over from some direction and saved His Royal Highness Cheng Wang's life. Speaking of a team of several hundred people, it's actually nothing to be afraid of. General Shu Xiao is very good at leading troops in battle. The scary thing is...

"When that team of several hundred people rushed over, they actually took Princess Pingyang hostage. General Shu Xiao was restricted. Not only was he unable to capture His Royal Highness Prince Cheng, but he could only watch as His Royal Highness Prince Cheng took the hostage and fled out of the palace! My lord, what should we do now?"

It was also because of this sudden change that Wangshan suffered many injuries, and his body and face were covered in blood.

Chu Heyi and Xie Lin looked at each other. Could it be that before tonight, Dongfang Shuo and his wife had made preparations for failure in advance? That's why they did such an unexpected thing?

"Have you seen Princess Cheng?" Chu Heyi asked. She suddenly remembered that she had not seen Runxue since she rushed in.

Wangshan shook his head: "I have never seen it."

There were many people fighting, and King Cheng had been protected behind the guards, so everyone thought that since Runxue was a person who was under special protection, it was normal that they could not see Runxue for the time being.

The emperor said: "When she learned that you had come to attack her, Princess Cheng took my eighth prince and retired to the harem."

Chu Heyi's heart skipped a beat. Runxue's reaction speed was too fast. She had actually thought of a way out at that time.

Not only did he prepare for a failed escape before the fight for the throne, and arranged guards to rescue Dongfang Shuo in advance, but he also took away the Eighth Prince and abducted Princess Pingyang as soon as possible...

"Not good." Xie Lin said in a cold voice: "I'm afraid that the hostages held by Prince Cheng and his wife are not just Princess Pingyang. If I'm not mistaken, the hostage held by His Royal Highness Prince Cheng is Princess Pingyang, and the hostage held by Princess Cheng is the Eighth Prince!"

As soon as he finished speaking, guards came running over, knelt in front of them, and raised a lot of dust on the ground.

"Report - Prince Cheng and his wife have held Princess Pingyang and the Eighth Prince hostage, and they are demanding that we open the city gates and let them go! Prime Minister, Lady Cheng'an, General Shu has sent his subordinates to ask, should the city gates be opened or not?"

The ministers looked at each other and immediately became excited.

The emperor said, "The Cheng Wang couple are so bold that they not only hold the princess hostage, but also the eighth prince! Xie Lin, as the crown prince now, you must not let the princess and the prince of Daqi get into trouble, otherwise Daqi will lose face!"

The queen also looked pale and said, "Xie Lin, Xiao Jing is your biological sister, you can't just ignore her, you must save her."

Concubine Zhen fell to the ground, tears streaming down her face. "Your Highness, please save my child. Even if you have to sacrifice my life for him, I will be willing to do so."

All the court officials also looked at Xie Lin and Chu Heyi.

This is truly a test for the newly enthroned Crown Prince and Crown Princess. If they fail to catch the King and Princess Cheng, not only will they lose face, but they will also lose stability in their position as Crown Prince, and everyone will think that he is incompetent.

But if he insisted on capturing King Cheng and his wife, regardless of the lives of the princess and the prince, it would be too cruel and cold-blooded, and would still be criticized by people all over the world.

The atmosphere was aggressive. Under everyone's burning gazes, Chu Heyi suddenly sneered: "The Cheng Wang couple have evil ambitions, and the emperor knows nothing about it. Not only did he put himself in danger, but he also allowed the Cheng Wang Concubine to kidnap Princess Pingyang and the Eighth Prince.

"My husband and I risked our own lives to save the emperor. Your Majesty and the others, what more do you want us to do to be satisfied?"

Chu Heyi swept his gaze across the crowd, his eyes as cold as frost: "We have to die, shed all our blood, and pave a smooth road for you and Daqi, will you be satisfied?"

All the ministers lowered their heads in silence, too ashamed to raise them, and the emperor also looked away guiltily.

He just wanted to use moral blackmail on Xie Lin and Chu Heyi, and let them capture and hunt down King Cheng and his wife. The palace would then become his world again, and he would take this opportunity to take back all the power.

As a result, his thoughts were exposed by Chu Heyi...

One of the ministers asked weakly, "Then according to what the Crown Princess said, are we going to let Prince Cheng and his wife brutally kill Princess Pingyang and the Eighth Prince?"

Chu Heyi looked at the minister, his eyes as cold as a knife: "Did I say that we should let them brutally kill Princess Pingyang and the Eighth Prince? How can we let the princess and prince of Daqi be brutally killed by the traitor Shen?"

Everyone looked at Chu Heyi.

What does she mean by this?

Chu Heyi said in a sonorous voice, "I am the consort of the Crown Princess of Daqi. Pass on my order. Open the city gates and let the King and his wife leave. Do not harm Princess Pingyang and the Eighth Prince!"

Everyone was shocked and stared at Chu Heyi blankly. She...she actually took all the responsibilities, whether success or failure, on herself.

Xie Lin also stared at her blankly, his eyes hot and red.

The emperor secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Even if Chu Heyi saw through his thoughts, what would happen? Chu Heyi finally had to order the city gates to be opened and let the Cheng Wang and his wife go.

Then the couple will be busy from now on. The palace... is still his world. Once they leave, he will take back the power.

As the emperor was thinking this, Chu Heyi said to Xie Lin, "I will ride another route to catch up with the Cheng Wang and his wife. My husband, you are in charge of the overall situation in the palace, so don't give others an opportunity to take advantage of you.

"Also, please ask the emperor to issue an imperial decree to pardon all the people from the Chu and Xie families who were involved in tonight's incident, including General Shu Xiao, Xue Jinfei and others. Only then can they work for the crown prince with peace of mind."

If she did not take this opportunity to firmly grasp the imperial power in her hands and undermine the emperor, she and Xie Lin would go to hunt down and capture the Cheng Wang and his wife. She was afraid that as soon as they left the palace, the emperor would order the execution of the nine clans of the Chu and Xie families.
