Prince Marrys into Farming Family - C339
No matter what, Shangguan Yi was still a woman after all, and at this time, she showed her weakness.
He hoped that Tang Yi would be able to help him, as well as the entire Shangguan Family.
“You’re not leaving?” This was Tang Yi’s concern. He did not know how likely Shangguan Xiong would succeed this time, but what was worth confirming was that Shangguan Xiong’s plan was very thorough.
He didn’t plan this operation until now. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so accurate with each step.
Right now, most of the military strength of the capital was in his hands. In the palace, other than the imperial bodyguard that was by the side of the emperor, the rest of the troops were long gone.
“I can’t stop this war, and I can’t promise you anything, but your father wants you to live well.”
Tang Yi had never admitted that he was a good person, but in front of Shangguan Yi, he tried his best to disguise himself as a proper gentleman.
It was true that he wanted to protect Shangguan Yi. He had not touched the 50,000 taels that Shangguan Xiong had given him. That was for Shangguan Yi.
“Here is 50,000 taels. I have already told you everything. You can choose to leave, but if you encounter any danger, I will protect you when you come back.”
The only thing he did not explain was that the silver was given to him by Shangguan Xiong. Tang Yi probably felt that there was no need to mention it.
Sure enough, Shangguan Yi left with the silver notes. She needed to find someone else to stop her father’s dangerous thoughts.
As long as there was any hope, she would try to ignite it.
That night, Shangguan Yi found the person she was looking for and discussed going to find her father the next day. But that night, the entire palace was surrounded.
“Your Highness, the palace has been surrounded by Shangguan Xiong’s men, the situation is not optimistic.” A soldier covered in blood had walked to the manor with great difficulty to send a message, and he himself had fallen.
Upon hearing this news, Meng Huaxuan immediately changed into his clothes, then led his men to the imperial palace.
There were a lot of enemies. Even if he could fight one against ten, his physical strength would eventually decrease.
It was probably because the night was difficult to control, or perhaps the other side wanted to see the Emperor in dire straits. After a long time, Shangguan Xiong gave the order to stop attacking, and waited for the next day to come again.
The palace was surrounded. The emperor was sitting calmly in his study with Eunuch Guo. He himself had no idea how to resolve the situation.
At this time, Meng Huanghun arrived at the emperor’s side. He had brought Liu Ye with him.
“You came to save me, how many of you are there?” He looked at his good brother with a glimmer of hope.
Meng Ling Xuan felt a little ashamed. Only he and Liu Ye had survived and entered the palace. Everything else had fallen!
“Now, it’s only Liu Ye and me. I don’t have many people, but Shangguan Xiong has too many powers outside. It seems that this is a premeditated plan, is there a secret passage for the Emperor? ”
Since this was the palace, Meng Fanxuan guessed that there should be a secret passage leading outside. Otherwise, the Emperor wouldn’t be able to remain so calm.
“No, I thought you came here to save us. However, the two of you are too weak!” The emperor was somewhat indignant. Although he had already written a pigeon, it would take at least three days for the soldiers far away at the border to return.
“Fine, I just came over to check on the situation, I didn’t think too much about it.” Meng Ling Xuan admitted that he was being rash, but he didn’t panic at all. In any case, there was always a way to resolve this issue.
“Do you think you can go back? “Why don’t you play a game of chess with me? You won’t be able to fall asleep while you wait.” Although the emperor’s suggestion was a bit boring, Meng Liangxuan still agreed.
Of course he would know that Shangguan Xiong would not let go so easily this time. He suddenly stopped his attack, just wanting to come over during the day to demonstrate his might.
“How boring. You always win.” For so many years, every time the Emperor played chess with Meng Lianxuan, he would always win. The Emperor was already used to it.
“It is the Emperor’s uncertainty. We will definitely get through it safely.” Meng Fangxuan thought for a moment. In any case, they weren’t afraid. It was a pity that he was missing a few brothers. Of course, he would take his revenge.
The next day, Shangguan Xiong did not appear. He was trying to force the palace, but now was not the time.
The entire capital was shrouded in a terrible atmosphere. Many people had lost their families because of the war.
Shangguan Yi could only watch like this, she could not reveal that she was Shangguan Xiong’s daughter, and she did not dare to do so either.
In the afternoon, Shangguan Xiong brought his men to the Imperial Palace, he wanted to see the negotiations.
“I have already given you a lenient treatment, why do you still want to do this?” Compared to his pitiful performance in front of Meng Ling Xuan last night, the current Emperor was extremely domineering, and he really could not understand why Shangguan Xiong was conspiring against him.
“Heh, I gave my life for the imperial court, but in the end, I have to spend my last years in the countryside. I can accept that, but I can’t let my daughter live such a mediocre life like me. Also, does the emperor really want to let me go? Or do you want to wait until there are fewer people, then make a move against me? ”
Actually, at that time, Shangguan Xiong had not killed the two men who were escorting him. He had only killed them because he found out that the two guards wanted to kill him.
“What do you mean? When did I go back on my word?” Although the emperor normally wouldn’t be too sure about his words to Meng Ling Xuan and the others, he was still confident enough to handle the imperial court case.
Could it be that someone was purposely instigating this? However, no matter what, Shangguan Xiong’s crime of rebellion had already been established, and there could not be any chance of turning the tables now.
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill you?” The emperor faintly smiled. Did he really think that there was no one here?
“I’m afraid the emperor doesn’t have that ability.” Of course Shangguan Xiong knew, the total military strength in the entire palace was not more than one hundred, he himself had thirty thousand soldiers and horses, how could they possibly fight against him?
“It is up to you whether or not you have the final say. We will decide after that.” After saying that, hundreds of black clothed experts appeared out of nowhere.
Originally, the emperor didn’t want them to come out at this time. Those were his treasures, but now that his life was in danger, he could only use those people.
When Shangguan Xiong saw these experts, he was also stunned. How could this be! He didn’t expect the emperor to have so many people by his side, things were completely different from what he had expected.
Although there weren’t 30,000 troops, each and every one of them were elites that could fight a hundred alone. There were roughly several thousand people, and all of them were the emperor’s secret bodyguards. This time, they were all dispatched.
Shangguan Xiong had no choice but to retreat to the outskirts of the Imperial Palace, now that both sides were fighting, there were injuries everywhere.
“With these people, why didn’t you let them come out earlier?” Meng Fanxuan knew that the Emperor himself had a group of people, but he didn’t expect that the number of black-clothed men would be so many more than he had imagined.
