Chapter 223 Bloody Wedding
"Sister, the big day has arrived!" The niece walked into the third lady's bedroom with a bright smile.
Today is the day for a large-scale mass wedding at the palace, with dozens of couples marrying in the presence of the royal family. This is a pioneering initiative launched by the Crown Prince after he implemented new policies, aiming to break down the prejudices of aristocratic families.
"Well," the third young lady stroked her already bulging belly, "I hope today will be a happy one."
As soon as she finished speaking, a maid ran in in a panic: "Princess, this is bad! A large number of weapons were found while checking the dowry!"
“What?!” The third young lady stood up suddenly.
It turned out that during routine inspections, several couples were found to have hidden blades and bows and arrows in their dowries. Even more suspicious was that these newlyweds came from purged families!
"Notify His Highness immediately!" The third lady made a prompt decision.
But at this moment, the niece brought even more shocking news: among those arrested newcomers, there were actually a few familiar faces. They were the children of the noble families who had been sentenced to exile before!
"These people..." The Third Miss sneered, "How dare they sneak in disguised as such? It seems they don't want to live anymore."
As he was speaking, Mo Yunchen came hurriedly: "Are you all ready?"
It turned out that the prince had anticipated this day and had secretly made preparations. Although those suspicious newcomers had sneaked in, their every move was under surveillance.
"I'm worried..." The third young lady was about to speak when she suddenly felt dizzy.
"Be careful!" Mo Yunchen quickly supported her, "You are pregnant now, don't work too hard. I am here."
But the third young lady insisted, "No, I want to see these people executed with my own eyes. Daring to make trouble on a day like this is simply courting death!"
The wedding took place as planned. The hall was festooned with lanterns and couples stood in the center. While the atmosphere appeared peaceful on the surface, a murderous plot lurked beneath the surface.
"It's started!" someone whispered.
Suddenly, the suspicious newlyweds sprang into action! They drew weapons from their dowries and rushed to the front. But they never imagined that a trap had been set for them!
"Kill!" Mo Yunchen gave the order.
The imperial guards, disguised as guests, immediately took action, and before the traitors could react, they were all captured. But the surprise wasn't over yet. In the chaos, someone unexpectedly shot an arrow at the Third Young Lady!
"Be careful!" Mo Yunchen flew in front of her.
"Your Highness!" the third lady exclaimed.
But surprisingly, the arrow suddenly changed direction just as it was about to hit Mo Yunchen! It turned out that this was a mechanism that the prince had prepared long ago, and any hidden weapon shot upwards would be deflected.
"Good!" All the civil and military officials present could not help but applaud.
At this moment, the traitors were completely desperate. They never imagined that their carefully planned actions would be calculated by the prince at every turn!
"Take them away!" Mo Yunchen said coldly, "Don't let any of them go!"
But at this moment, the third lady suddenly discovered something unusual: "Wait! They seem to have eaten something!"
Sure enough, the traitors suddenly began foaming at the mouth and convulsing. It turned out they had prepared poison long ago, and if their plan failed, they would commit suicide en masse!
"Quick!" The Third Miss, regardless of her discomfort, immediately ordered, "Go find the antidote! These people can't die yet!"
After a series of rescue efforts, several lives were saved. After interrogation, a shocking truth surfaced: this operation was far more complicated than it seemed!
It turns out that while the aristocratic families had been purged, their remnants hadn't been eradicated. They were secretly colluding, planning to use this wedding to create chaos. Their real target was the Third Young Lady's unborn child!
"These beasts!" Mo Yunchen was furious. "They are simply courting death!"
"Calm down," the Third Miss grabbed his hand. "If they dare to do this, they must have a backup plan."
Sure enough, new discoveries were soon made: more evidence was found in those people's residences. These traitors not only planned to assassinate at the wedding, but also ambushed assassins throughout the capital. If they succeeded, they would simultaneously cause chaos!
"Keep investigating!" Mo Yunchen ordered, "We must wipe out their lairs!"
The investigation quickly made progress. By interrogating those who survived, they finally uncovered the traitor's complete plan. Besides the actions in the capital, they also deployed personnel throughout the country. This was a complete conspiracy to overthrow the court!
"Looks like a big fight is about to start," the Third Miss sighed, "These people really won't stop until they die."
"It doesn't matter," Mo Yunchen sneered, "Since they dare to touch my family, don't blame me for being cruel!"
A thundering operation was immediately launched. The court dispatched elite troops to launch a surprise attack on the traitor's stronghold. Those hidden assassins were captured before they could even take action.
"Report! The southern stronghold has been broken!"
"Report! The traitor in the North has been executed!"
"Report! The remnants of the Western Regions have been captured!"
Victory news came in one after another, and the rebellions were quelled in various places. Those who had been waiting and watching became obedient.
"It's finally over," the third young lady breathed a sigh of relief. "This was really thrilling."
"It's not over yet," Mo Yunchen said, "Since these people dared to attack at the wedding, they are deliberately making enemies of the court. We must not show mercy!"
Then, the imperial court began a new round of purges. Those involved in the conspiracy, no matter how high their position, were not spared. For a time, the entire court was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere.
But surprisingly, this action not only did not cause any backlash, but instead received considerable support. This was because everyone could see that the prince truly had murderous intentions!
"This is the way of a wise ruler," an old minister sighed, "you must be ruthless when necessary, otherwise it will be difficult to quell the chaos."
As the purge deepened, more secrets were revealed. It turned out that these traitors not only wanted to harm the royal family, but also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to overthrow the court. If it weren't for this incident, the consequences would be disastrous.
"They are seeking their own death," Miss San comforted Mo Yunchen, "Your Highness, there is no need to blame yourself."
Mo Yunchen said, "I'm afraid it's too bloody and will scare you and the child."
"It's okay," the Third Miss smiled. "This child isn't easily frightened."
Looking at her strong appearance, Mo Yunchen was moved and distressed: "Promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you must be safe and sound."
"Well," Miss San nestled in his arms, "I promise you."
