Chapter 171 Prince 6's Rebellion
When Anwu and the others saw that there were still so many bombs, they hurried over to divide the loot.
"Princess, with these guys, we can wipe out the entire Jingbei camp. They've escaped, should we go after them?"
Ye Qingyan said calmly, "No need to chase them, they are just following orders."
I'll leave this to you. Throw a flare if anything happens.
"Yes, Princess!"
Today's sky seemed to be covered with a sad gray veil, and a gloomy atmosphere enveloped the entire palace.
The emperor, the supreme ruler who once ruled the world, now lies quietly in the magnificent palace.
Although his face had lost its former majesty, it still retained an awe-inspiring tranquility.
Officials in mourning clothes ran towards the emperor's bedroom. Their steps were heavy and orderly, and every step seemed to tell of endless grief.
Leng Jiuyuan ordered: "Prime Minister, please issue an obituary announcing the emperor's death.
Next came the "Da Lu" ceremony. Amidst solemn music, the emperor's body was slowly carried into the carefully prepared coffin.
The outer layer of the coffin is inlaid with gold and jade, and the inside is covered with brocade, symbolizing the emperor's glory and honor during his lifetime.
The mourning hall had been set up. Leng Jiuyuan lit a stick of incense for Leng Xiaoran and said, "Royal brother, why did you leave?"
I thought to myself: Leng Xiaoran, you really deserve to die. Can't you just be an emperor? You want to kill me. Alas, you died before you even served as emperor for a year.
This is your fate!"
At this time, some female relatives were dragged to the front of the mourning hall, and an old eunuch said, "From today on, you will cry here until the emperor is sent to the imperial mausoleum."
Ye Qingyan was worried about the palace gate, so she teleported to the gate.
It is still calm here, like the calm before the storm.
Cining Palace
The Queen Mother heard a deafening roar, and the teacup in her hand fell to the ground, shattering into pieces, with tea splashing everywhere.
She stood up and asked, "What's that sound?"
King Xiaoyao was also shocked: "It must be a thunderbolt. Come, go and see what's going on."
They continued to wait, and after a while the guard came back and clasped his fists, "Your Majesty, the Jingbei camp has dispatched approximately 20,000 soldiers to enter the city.
The Princess Regent ordered the city gates to be closed, and a secret guard threw a black ball into the camp. That was the sound of the black ball exploding. The Jingbei camp suffered heavy losses and everyone fled in fear.
"Xiao Qi is Xiao Qi, she is reliable at critical moments.
If those 20,000 people come in, the palace gate cannot be defended.
Come, have the Fifth and Sixth Princes come together."
The Sixth Prince also heard the noise in the distance and was a little puzzled. Apart from thunder, he had never heard such a sound before.
A young eunuch came up to him and said, "Fifth Prince, Sixth Prince, the Queen Mother orders you to go to the Cining Palace."
"What does the Queen Mother want us brothers to do at this time?" asked the Fifth Prince.
The young eunuch said bluntly: "I don't know."
"Sixth brother, let's go."
The two went to the Cining Palace together.
Inside the palace, the Queen Mother was wearing a plain robe, with only a few silver lily hairpins in her hair.
She sat upright on the soft couch, with the two imperial uncles sitting on one side.
The Fifth Prince and the Sixth Prince knelt together and said, "Greetings, Queen Mother!"
Chu Linlang looked at him coldly: "Come here, tie up the Sixth Prince!"
Leng Muchen frowned, looking dissatisfied, "Queen Dowager, I wonder what mistake I have made!"
Chu Linlang responded coldly: "Sixth Brother, you are pretending quite well.
You're in charge of the Jingbei camp, why are they all out? Fortunately, the city gates were closed, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."
Leng Muchen refused to admit it: "Queen Dowager, I swear to heaven, I really don't know what the Jingbei Camp is doing."
Queen Mother Chu's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "You really won't cry until you see the coffin. Come, take the Sixth Prince to the prison and assign heavy guards."
"Yes!"
Then two guards came in and took him away.
The Fifth Prince stood there, not knowing what to do.
Queen Mother Chu frowned and asked, "Old Fifth, were you involved in this matter?"
The Fifth Prince immediately knelt down and said, "Mother, I really didn't know anything about this. This is a capital crime and I don't have the guts to do it!"
Queen Mother Chu believed what the Fifth Prince said.
He is a lustful man. He can't move himself when he sees a beautiful woman and he won't stop until he gets her. He has many wives and concubines in his house.
Since this matter has nothing to do with you, you just stand guard at the palace gate.
"My son obeys the order!"
The Fifth Prince stood up, took a few steps back, and walked out. The back of his robe was soaked with cold sweat.
I cursed in my heart: You old man, you dare to mobilize troops, you really don’t want to live.
Isn't it good to be a prince in a stable position? Why does he have to want to ascend to a high position? The Queen Mother is here. If one son dies, there is still another one. How can she let someone else sit on the throne?
You are finished this time. The Queen Mother will not let you go.
I'd better guard the palace gate.
Outside the palace gate, An 21 and his men were standing in front of the gate. Some people were coming from the opposite side. They were from the patrol camp.
Guan Zhong, the governor of the Nine Gates, arrived with more than 2,000 people.
An 21 stepped forward and said, "Master Guan, I wonder why you brought so many people with you."
Ye Qingyan walked over directly and said: "Why is it so lively here!"
The secret guards clasped their fists and said, "Princess!"
Guan Zhong saw that it was the Regent Princess, and said, "This humble official greets the Princess!"
Ye Qingyan's expression suddenly changed, with a look of shock in her eyes: "Master Guan, are you bringing so many people here to force the emperor to abdicate or to rebel?"
Guan Zhong snorted coldly: "Princess, please don't bother worrying about this matter. Come, enter the palace."
Ye Qingyan waved her hand vigorously, and all those people retreated more than 300 meters as if they were blown away by the wind.
Guan Zhong was shocked: "What's going on?"
Ye Qingyan gave a wink, and a secret guard raised his submachine gun and shot directly at Mr. Guan's heart.
"what!"
Guan Zhong fell directly to the ground, and a stream of blood spurted out.
Everyone was terrified. The deputy commander shouted, "Brothers, they killed Master Guan. Let's kill them together."
The man seemed to have gained a backbone, brandished his knife, and rushed towards Ye Qingyan.
Ye Qingyan stepped back and flashed into the space.
I saw ten secret guards holding up their submachine guns and pulling the triggers at the same time. I could hear the sound of "da da da" and angry fire snakes shot out from the muzzles and rushed towards the people rushing over.
The bullets seemed to have eyes and penetrated into their hearts.
The soldiers who had been rushing forward frantically had their bodies riddled with bullets, streams of blood spurting out, and they all fell to the ground with a thud.
The secret guards walked and shot at them...
The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and the pungent smell of blood.
Leng Jiuyuan heard the gunshots and teleported to the palace gate.
He saw Ye Qingyan standing there and asked with concern: "Princess, what happened?"
Ye Qingyan looked at the corpses on the ground and said, "The people from the Jingbei Camp and the Patrol Camp have rebelled. Now that they are here, they must die."
Leng Jiuyuan was furious: "They are the Sixth Prince's men. I didn't expect that Sixth Brother is so ambitious and wants to seize the throne as well."
Ye Qingyan had a smile on her face: "Don't worry, they can't cause any trouble with me here."
