Chapter 465 Only Chu Ning!
"you……"
Crown Princess Ling Feiyan was stunned by the Crown Prince's words.
"Have you ever thought that if other people come to the king's defense, the emperor will definitely escape this disaster? At that time, the emperor will definitely settle accounts with him!"
The prince narrowed his eyes and a cold look flashed across his face: "Humph, I believe that my tenth brother must have also thought of the reinforcements, and he will definitely be prepared in advance!"
Seeing that she could not persuade the prince, Ling Feiyan could only say in a deep voice: "You'd better think it over. If this is your father's trick, all our efforts will be wasted.
Your father has been in charge of the dynasty for many years, so it is impossible that he does not have a backup plan. If you do not take any action now, you will definitely not be able to hide it from your father's eyes.
Once the reckoning comes, the Eastern Palace will be the first to bear the brunt. By then, we might end up like the Second Prince and the Eighth Prince!"
After saying this, he turned and left without waiting for the prince to speak.
The prince looked at Ling Feiyan's departing figure, and the indifference on his face gradually eased.
Although she is unhappy about the relationship between Ling Feiyan and Chu Ning, Ling Feiyan still cares about Donggong!
And what Ling Feiyan said was indeed true. No one could guarantee that the emperor had no backup plan.
If the Eastern Palace stays out of the matter and acts as if it does not want to send troops to help, once the emperor wins, he will definitely not let the Eastern Palace off.
Thinking of this, the prince narrowed his eyes and a hint of hesitation flashed across his face.
But in the end, he sighed and said, "Come here, send a team of soldiers to stop the rebels from the East Palace. Remember, don't fight them off, but hold them in a stalemate!"
As long as the stalemate remains, I believe the emperor will not say much even if he finds out.
After all, the Eastern Palace has already sent people to fight and has not stood idly by!
If they really want to hold us accountable, the worst that can be done is to say that we were no match for the rebels and were blocked by them.
Although he was reluctant to send troops, just in case and worried that the emperor might escape the disaster, the prince finally sent some troops out to stop the rebels.
However, the rebels closest to the East Palace were the ones who stopped them.
The prince didn't want to care about the rebels in other directions.
At this moment, the rebels took advantage of the fact that the troops to support the king had not arrived yet, broke through several palace gates along the way, and had already reached the square outside the Golden Palace.
The imperial guards had no way to retreat and could only rely on the geographical advantage of the steps to defend themselves. The two sides fought fiercely in the square.
The Imperial Guards were extremely powerful. Even though the rebels were numerous, they still found it difficult to break through their defense line.
Inside the Golden Palace, the emperor looked at the battle situation outside the palace with a gloomy face.
Zhao Ming stamped his feet anxiously and said, "Your Majesty, you should order the palace gates to be closed. What if the rebels shoot arrows?"
But the emperor was stubborn: "Humph, I am the Son of Heaven, I have great luck, the arrows can't hit me at all."
After a pause, the emperor suddenly frowned and looked at the shadow guard beside him: "Where are the people from the East Palace? Why haven't they arrived yet?"
The shadow guard's face changed slightly: "Your Majesty, I have sent someone to confirm that the guards of the East Palace have come out, but they encountered rebels on the way and are rushing here while attacking."
The emperor's face suddenly turned ugly.
The Eastern Palace has a thousand guards. Although the rebels are numerous, it is impossible for them to send too many troops to deal with the Eastern Palace.
There must be a reason why the East Palace guards are so slow to get nervous!
However, now is not the time to assign blame.
The emperor, who was getting angrier and angrier, glared and roared, "Hurry, send someone to urge the prince immediately and ask him to send out all the guards!"
If we punish him now, it will only force the prince to rebel, so we can only urge him on.
But the emperor also knew that this could not go on forever.
Since the East Palace is making slow progress, we can only look to other directions for troops to come to our rescue.
Rubbing his temple, the emperor sat heavily on the dragon chair and asked, "What's the situation outside the palace?"
The shadow guard's expression changed slightly: "Your Majesty, at present, only His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu has arrived with his troops."
The emperor's eyes turned cold: "Where are the others?"
The shadow guard lowered his head and remained silent.
The emperor understood.
Others definitely didn’t send troops to rescue!
"Okay, okay, you won't send out any troops, right? You all think I can't escape this disaster, right?"
The emperor gritted his teeth and roared with red eyes: "Wait until tonight, and see how I deal with them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a guard came to report: "Your Majesty, it's bad, the Queen has been held hostage!"
The emperor was furious and was about to send someone to rescue them, but then he rolled his eyes and sneered, "Tell the prince about this and ask him to send someone to rescue them!"
There are not many imperial guards here to begin with, and if we send more to rescue the queen, there will be even fewer people here.
The best way is to let the prince take action.
The Queen is the Prince's biological mother, and he believes that the Prince will not stand idly by!
At this moment, the battle outside the palace suddenly became fierce.
There were archers among the rebels, and they kept shooting arrows in an attempt to force back the imperial guards.
But the Imperial Guards had shieldmen, and both sides suffered losses in the offense and defense.
For a while, screams were heard everywhere and people kept falling down.
The pungent smell of blood filled the entire palace!
At the same time, Chu Ning also encountered obstacles.
……
There were clatters of horse hooves on the streets a few miles away from the palace.
The cavalry, all on white horses, charged forward rapidly, heading straight for the imperial palace.
But at this moment, Ran Ming, who was leading the team in front, suddenly shouted: "Your Highness, there are people ahead!"
Chu Ning sneered and was about to order an attack, but unexpectedly the voice of the Tenth Prince came from the front:
"Eighteenth brother, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Chu Ning's face changed slightly, he raised his spear high, and ordered in a deep voice: "The whole army stops advancing!"
The cavalry stopped in unison.
Chu Ning rode forward and saw the leisurely Tenth Prince, Deng Hongwen beside him, and the group of soldiers armed with bows and crossbows behind him.
"Tenth brother, why are you rebelling?" Chu Ning asked in a cold voice without rushing to attack.
The tenth prince laughed and said, "Eighteenth brother, eighteenth brother, don't you know why I rebelled?
If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have come to this point.
What do you think, Eighteenth Brother, do you want to go to war with me, or do you want to submit to me?
As long as you submit, I will treat you well when I ascend the throne!"
These words made Ran Ming behind him glare: "You are talking nonsense. You just slandered His Highness today, and now you want to win over His Highness. Who would believe your lies?"
Chu Ning couldn't help but laugh when he heard Ran Ming swearing.
Fortunately, he knew his identity, and he suppressed his smile and waved his hand to signal Ran Ming to leave.
"Brother Ten, you heard it. Even the least educated people under my command don't believe you. Do you think I will believe you?"
These words are not very hurtful, but they are extremely insulting!
The Tenth Prince's face immediately darkened, and a murderous intent appeared on his face: "Since you refuse to surrender, then go to hell!"
"and many more!"
Chu Ning suddenly shouted, "Brother Shi, I'm very curious, how did you bribe the imperial guards to open the palace gate for you?"
The Tenth Prince's eyes changed: "How do you know that I bribed the Imperial Guards?"
Chu Ning smiled slightly: "If the imperial guards hadn't opened the palace gates, who would dare to rebel?"
The tenth prince chuckled: "That's true, but I will tell you the answer before you die!"
"Someone, shoot and kill Chu Ning!"
