male princess

At this moment, the palace was in chaos, and Xi Haochen's men stormed into the palace with lightning speed. Only relying on the guards and forbidden troops in the palace, they could barely resist it, not to mention that among these people in the palace, there were some who secretly defected to support the palace. .As soon as the rebels entered, the palace sent out a signal, but they resisted for a long time, but no one came to support them. The guards retreated while fighting, causing countless casualties on both sides. For a while, the palace almost became a hell.There were cries and fights everywhere.

The hidden guards brought by Xi Yincang, like four sharp swords, entered the palace from four directions. They did not get entangled with the rebels, and they did not seem to take eliminating the rebels as their primary purpose. They all rushed to the palace quickly. The old emperor rushed to several important places where he might be. Anyone who was in the way would be slashed without asking. The shining golden tokens showed their identities to everyone.

Although most people have only heard about this team and have never seen it with their own eyes, seeing this situation now, the people in the palace who are desperately resisting are immediately bursting with joy, the panic in their hearts receded a lot, they automatically moved out of the way, and their momentum also disappeared. Reply slowly.And the people on the side of the third prince became even more anxious, hoping to resolve the battle as quickly as possible.

In the emperor's bedroom, compared to the outside, it was much quieter, and no one had come here yet.The old emperor had already put on his outer robe, and stood in front of the window with frowned eyebrows. The eunuch beside him looked out of the door from time to time, with a worried face on his face.He could already hear the faint and chaotic sounds, but looking up at the emperor, he didn't give any instructions, so he could only continue to wait quietly, waiting for the news in his heart.

"Cough cough cough!!!" The old emperor raised his hand to cover his mouth, coughed for a while, and stretched out his hand to close his neckline.

The eunuch on one side hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, sit down for a while, you have been standing for a long time." As he said, he stepped forward and gently supported the old emperor.

The old emperor waved his hand, sighed, seemed to have aged a lot, and said as if talking to himself: "Maybe, this is fate. Born in the royal family, it is destined to be like this. Back then, I was like this Like, killing each other and taking the throne with my brothers. Now, I am really old."

That was too much monitoring, I opened my mouth, but didn't dare to say anything, so I had to keep quiet again.

"Father~~Father~~" Xi Haoting's voice came in suddenly, and then the door was pushed open with a bang, and he hurried in with a worried face: "Father, third brother, he... "

"Tang'er." The old emperor turned around and looked at Xi Haotang with a calm face: "Tang'er, why are you here? Didn't I send someone to take you out?"

Xi Haotang looked at the old emperor Wubo's calm eyes, and suddenly he calmed down, and his face also returned to calm, but there was no laughter and nonsense in the past. He took a step forward and said: "In the current situation, how can my son disregard his father? Empress, leave alone. Father, son is here to accompany father, son will swear to protect father."

There was some relief in the eyes of the old emperor, he nodded, and then seemed to

I thought of something, and with a somewhat tangled and helpless face, I said lightly: "In that case, stay here, and no matter what happens later, you will stay by my side obediently, and don't make any rash moves."

"Yes, my son knows." Xi Haotang nodded, stretched out his hand to press the saber at his waist, his brows were firm, "Father, don't worry, the reinforcements will definitely arrive. Second brother and cousin will also Came here."

As soon as Xi Haotang finished speaking, there was a sound outside the door, and someone reported: "My Majesty, the rebel army has broken through the outer perimeter and will soon arrive at the inner palace. It is appropriate for the Emperor to move temporarily."

The monitor was shocked, stomped her foot lightly, turned around and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, why don't you stay back for a while?"

Xi Haotang frowned, clenched his hands even tighter, and looked at the old emperor.

The old emperor thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Wait a little longer."

Xi Haotang nodded, walked out of the door, opened the door, looked at the person kneeling in front of the door, and asked in a solemn voice: "How many lines are there in the rebellious army? Which direction is the stronger offensive? How is the difference between the strength of our two sides?" Is there a response to the signal sent?"

That man also seemed to be a leader. After hearing Xi Haoting's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then returned respectfully: "Return to the sixth prince, the rebellious army divided into four routes, and all four palace gates broke in, but the east gate has the largest number of people. It is also the fastest way to go deep in the east. The number of opponents is comparable to ours, but their strength exceeds ours, so it should not be delayed for too long. Deputy General Song Tao did not respond, but just now, the palace has responded, and reinforcements should arrive soon , but I don’t know how many people there are. There is news that the residences of the second prince and other adults outside the palace have also been attacked by rebels.”

Xi Haotang nodded and pursed his lips: "Send some people from the other three directions to the east, and continue to send a signal to the barracks, telling everyone that the prince has led reinforcements into the palace, so let everyone hold on for a while. Also, come here .”

The soldier nodded yes, and suddenly heard Xi Haotang asking him to approach, he didn't dare to hesitate, got up and moved over, Xi Haotang whispered something in his ear, the man was startled and hesitated.Xi Haotang said: "There is no need for anyone to be like this, you just send a few people to pretend to confuse the other party. It is not disrespectful."

When the man heard it, his face suddenly became clear, he nodded, turned around and ran away in a hurry.

Only then did Xi Haotang close the door and come in, saying: "Father, my cousin seems to have arrived, it's all right now, but I heard that the houses of Second Brother and several other adults were also attacked, so I don't know what happened. "

The old emperor nodded, and sat down on the chair beside him. In fact, when he heard Xi Yincang coming, he felt more at ease.Others don't know, but he still knows the strength of the people he brings.He beckoned to Xi Haotang, motioning him to sit aside, looking at this son who was still laughing and playing every day, with a serious and firm look at this moment, suddenly there was a little comfort in his bored heart, he sighed, and said slowly: "Tang'er, for you three

What do you think about the matter of the emperor? "

Xi Haotang glanced at the old emperor, lowered his head, and said after a while: "Father, I don't want to believe such a thing, but now that everything is in front of my eyes, I only hope that this will end soon."

"Then what do you think, after the matter is over, how should you deal with your third brother?"

Xi Haotang raised his head, his eyes were a little tangled and painful, and then he became calm: "Brother Sanhuang conspired to rebel, he should be punished for his crime."

The old emperor was a little surprised by his answer. Although he is not as soft-hearted and indecisive as Xi Haoting, he is still a child at heart. I don't want him to be so decisive. He didn't even have a superfluous word. He asked again: "If I want to kill Brother Sanhuang, don't you plead for him?"

Xi Haoting lowered his head again, and said in a low voice: "Naturally, I want love. Since childhood, the second and third brothers have treated me very well, but I don't know when they have changed. They rarely see each other after they leave the palace. No, brother Sihuang never goes out. Every day, I am in the palace by myself, reading and practicing. He is my elder brother and a relative. How can I remain indifferent if my father wants to kill him. But, brother Sanhuang It’s like skipping class and messing around, not sneaking out of the palace, not teasing any minister. Now, he wants to kill his father to seize the throne. As a son, he is unfilial, and as a subject, he is disloyal.” Xi Haotang’s voice was a little dry, and he paused Continued: "Although I am greedy for fun and do not want to make progress, I understand the righteousness of the country. As a descendant of the royal family, the country should be the greatest and the people first. As a younger brother, I hope that the emperor will be lenient. , but, as a prince and subject, I dare not tolerate anything."

Hearing what he said, the old emperor didn't know what it was like, but when he looked at Xi Haotang, his eyes became more satisfied, and he nodded: "Tang'er, you have grown up."

"Father." Xi Haotang raised his head, his eye circles were already red, and his eyes were full of sadness: "Father, my son would rather never grow up, and always be like before."

"Hehe, idiot. Some things have to be faced." The old emperor looked at Xi Haotang with deep eyes, "As a man, you must dare to face everything in reality, and no matter what happens, you must be able to stick to your own behavior Principle. This is just a small test, many things will be completely beyond your expectations, even beyond your acceptance range, if you can persevere, then everything will pass, if you can't, then everything will end."

Xi Haochen led people all the way to kill, and went straight to the old emperor's bedroom. He was still worried. First, he was worried about the royal guards led by Xi Yincang, but because he was afraid that Song Tao would change his mind. Although Song Tao promised him to stand still , but he kept a layer of defense after all, and he didn't dare to trust him completely, not to mention, there were people from Shangguan Yu outside, so he didn't know if something would go wrong.

The palace maids and eunuchs were making a fuss, and corpses lying on the ground could be seen everywhere, and the crying and groaning made people irritated.

Xi Haochen didn't stop all the way.

The people around cleared the way for him.Suddenly someone came to report that they found a small group of people, carefully escorting one person to the north, but that person, wearing ordinary palace clothes, did not look like an emperor, but the expressions of the people around him were very nervous and respectful.

Xi Haochen frowned, thought for a while, hesitated for a moment, and beckoned. Immediately, a tall and thin man came over. It was Shi Tianyu, one of his left and right hands.Xi Haochen said in a low voice: "Go, take a group of people and chase after him to see if it is true or not, kill him."

Shi Tianyu's eyes turned cold, he turned around, led a few people and chased towards the north.

Xi Haochen sneered, taking advantage of the guards of the forbidden army being entangled by his subordinates, he rushed through alone, and after crossing two palace gates, the old emperor entered the palace.At this time, his eyes were bloodshot, his body was bruised, and his eyes were cold.He carried the bleeding sword and came outside the palace, the guards outside the palace immediately surrounded him, and an eunuch ran and crawled inside.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." The eunuch stumbled in and wailed, "Your Majesty, it's not good, Third Prince, he's here."

"Bastard, why panic?" Xi Haotang opened his mouth and cursed. At this time, he was also anxious, and the sound of fighting outside had come in clearly.Xi Haotang pulled out his sword, stood up and went to the front.

The old emperor still sat there, unmoved, and the eunuch at the side persuaded: "Your Majesty, let's avoid it first, the prince should be here soon."

"That's too late."

The eunuch was startled, and turned his head to look, Xi Haochen was already standing at the door, like Shura from hell, with blood on his face and body, cold and fierce.

Xi Haotang clenched his hands tightly, stepped forward, and stopped in front of Xi Haochen: "Brother Huang, be sober and stop being obsessed. Do you know what you are doing?"

"Hmph! I'm very sober." Xi Haochen smiled coldly but said to the emperor, "I've done so much, but I've never gotten a word of affirmation from you. You beat me up for such an obvious frame-up. Entering the cold palace. Father, you are getting old, why don't you let my minister help you share your worries."

The old emperor turned his head to look at him, and said aloud, "Tang'er, come here."

Xi Haotang stared at Xi Haochen tightly without moving, his eyes were full of determination: "Brother Huang, I won't let you hurt Royal Father, you will regret it."

"Regret?" Xi Haochen's eyes became colder and colder: "From the moment I made the decision, I will never regret it. I have no choice, father, do you think so?" Xi Haochen glared at Xi Haotang and said, "Since you want to escort me , I will fulfill you." As he spoke, he raised his hand, and beheaded Xi Haotang when he saw him.

Xi Haotang was startled. He was also diligent in practicing martial arts, but he was not like Xi Yincang and the others. He had experienced real life-and-death combat. At this time, he was a little flustered when he tried to fight, but he could barely resist for a while, not all of a sudden. Then drop it.

The eunuch on the side turned green with fright, watching Xi Haotang narrowly dodge several times.

With a fatal attack, his heart almost jumped out of his throat, and he looked outside the door from time to time, praying for reinforcements to come to help.The sound of beating and killing outside is getting closer and closer. If it doesn't come again, it will really be over.

It was quite difficult for Xi Haotang to resist, he had no experience in fighting against enemies, how could he beat Xi Haochen, Xi Haochen tricked him with a fake move, saw the gap, and stabbed him in the chest, seeing that Xi Haotang was about to be stabbed through It was clear that the old emperor's face had changed a long time ago, and suddenly there was a bang, something that hit Xi Haochen's body, and Xi Haochen staggered.

Xi Haotang hastily withdrew and retreated, escaped from death, and broke out in a cold sweat.

Xi Haochen exerted force on his wrist, stabilized the sword, and turned around quickly.

There was a flash of figures in the hall, and there was an ouch, and a person fell to the ground alone.Everyone was shocked, seeing a man with bare feet, disheveled hair, and a face swollen like a pig's head rubbed his chest and crawled up, still moaning.

Zhi Luo originally thought that he would be a hero this time, and come to escort him at a critical moment. After a good time, he saw Xi Haochen fighting together from a distance, tried to raise his spirits, and rushed over Xi Yincang. Knowing that his body hadn't fully recovered, he couldn't control his internal strength for a while, and even couldn't stop, so he directly used himself as a hidden weapon and smashed it in. Xi Yincang was frightened and frightened.

Xi Haochen looked at Zhiluo with a look of astonishment and uncertainty, and he had no time to study it carefully at the moment, so he raised his sword and stabbed.

The wound on Zhi Luo's body hurt from the fall, and she was grinning her teeth, feeling the cold air hit her, and with an ah, she hurriedly dodged, and rushed to the side, so fast that people couldn't see her figure clearly.Xi Haochen was even more surprised, before he moved, he heard Xi Yincang's voice: "Stop."

Seeing that Xi Haochen really stopped, Zhi Luo scolded him for being an idiot in his heart, saw Xi Yincang rushing in, directly in front of him, and scolded him when he came up: "Don't kill you?"

Zhi Luo pointed behind him: "You, do you want to deal with him first?"

Xi Yincang sighed weakly, came back to his senses, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xi Haochen faintly, then turned around and knelt down in front of the emperor: "The escort came late, the emperor made atonement."

"True Moji, tie up this thief first."

When Xi Haochen heard this, his eyes turned cold, and he stared fiercely at Zhiluo, but his heart was filled with uneasiness. The moment Xi Yincang appeared, he realized that everything might be too late. , he may have already succeeded in half.Therefore, he did not act rashly, but began to figure out how to escape completely.

Zhi Luo looked into his eyes, not to be outdone, smiled, and said with a pig-headed face: "What are you staring at, you are plotting to rebel, you are rebellious, and now your people have been suppressed by the royal guards one after another, and you will be executed if you don't bow your head."

Xi Haochen's eyes flickered, and he glanced at Xi Yincang who was staring at him calmly, raised his hand, threw the sword on the ground with a clang and said, "I lost."

Zhi Luo was stunned for a moment, then blinked, and then with a look of vigilance, she hurriedly pulled aside to return

Xi Haotang didn't recover, and retreated to Xi Yincang's side

"What's the matter?" Xi Haotang was a little puzzled, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Sanhuang surrendered, what are you hiding? Who are you? Why are you so ugly? I have never seen you at my cousin's place."

"Shut up, busy with business." Zhi Luo scolded him in a low voice, thinking that this kid is really out of line.Why did the third prince surrender so easily? It's not his style.

"If you think there is still a chance, then I advise you to give up." Xi Yincang looked at Xi Haochen, feeling something was wrong in his heart.

Xi Haochen suddenly raised his head and laughed, and it took him a while to calm down. He said, "Winner or loser, I have nothing to say, either succeed or die. Humph!" Dodged a dagger.

"Be careful." Zhi Luo thought he was going to sneak attack, so he quickly stretched out his hand to protect Xi Haotang and the old emperor, but unexpectedly, Xi Haochen raised the dagger and quickly stabbed it into his chest until the end.

"Emperor, Brother Huang!" Xi Haotang was stunned by this scene, and just watched Xi Haochen spit blood from his mouth, and slowly fell down.

The old emperor looked straight at him with complicated eyes.

Xi Yincang walked over, crouched, looked at it for a long time, frowned tightly, suddenly his eyes changed, reached out and touched the side of Xi Haochen's face lightly, but did not make a sound.

At this time, the sound of footsteps came, and a hidden guard with a gold medal came in, knelt on one knee and said in a low voice: "Boss, the third prince's people are basically cleared away, and a large number of people are now surrounding the inner palace. It was Song Tao who led the troops stationed outside the city. The purpose is unknown."

"Your Majesty?" Xi Yincang turned around with a respectful expression.

The old emperor waved his hand: "Leave it to you, ask Song Tao first."

Xi Yincang nodded, turned around and ordered, "Let our people go back first, the east and west workshops, the owners of the workshops will personally protect the safety of the emperor, and send word that the king wants to see Song Tao."

"Yes!"
