Seeing that the candlelight in the house was still on, Jiang Yan reported from outside: "Your Majesty, something happened!"

Xiao Hanye subconsciously glanced at Chu Nanyue in his arms. He patted her carefully, put on his clothes, closed the door quietly and left the room.

"Go to the study!"

With the help of the natural rain curtain, the two walked through the corridor and came to the study.

When they arrived at the study, Jiang Yan spoke carefully: "Prince... Concubine Rong is gone..."

Although Concubine Rong was not his prince's biological mother, he had called her mother for more than 20 years, and he was afraid that his prince would be angry.

Unexpectedly, his prince just said "hmm" and asked calmly, "How did he die?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then he answered in detail: "First, he was tortured by the old emperor in the palace, and then he was rescued by Prince Chen. On the way back to Prince Chen's mansion, he suddenly died of poison, and his body was taken away by Chu Zhaoyu. Now, Prince Chen is chasing him. Don't worry, Prince, Leng Jiu has already rushed over with the secret guards."

Xiao Hanye narrowed his eyes, tapping the table with his fingers. Suddenly he stopped and said slowly, "It's going to be chaos! Follow me to the military camp as soon as possible!"

It seems that the old emperor has already known the truth of that year, which is much faster than he expected.

After Fengchuan's efforts, there are now 100,000 soldiers in the Changlin Army who are willing to follow him. They are soldiers led by him personally. He believes that as long as he stands in front of them in person, they will be willing to follow him even without the tiger talisman.

Even if they are unwilling, it doesn't matter. With the 100,000 troops under Pei Zhiyan's command, 200,000 against 300,000 is enough for a fight.

He had been marching and fighting since he was young, and he had never been afraid on the battlefield.

As for the old emperor, he didn't think about him at all.

How could he still think of others when he was the one who abandoned him at the very beginning?

Just like Concubine Rong, although he would not humiliate her and bring her back, she was dead, and that was it...

It's nothing to him...

Although Jiang Yan was worried about his prince suddenly showing up in the military camp, he thought of his prince's prestige in the Changlin Army and said nothing more. He took his sword from the shelf and handed it to him, then quickly left the mansion with him.

The rain, like tears from God, sprinkled on the glazed tiles of the imperial palace, making a low and suppressed sound.

At this time, the atmosphere in the palace was extremely heavy.

After the old emperor took the medicine, he felt better, but his complexion was still very pale. When he suddenly learned the truth, his already not young face suddenly looked several years older.

After coughing a few times, he couldn't wait to ask, "Are you ready?"

He wanted to go see his Han'er.

He wanted to return the tiger talisman and Princess Changle to him personally. Not only that, hadn't he always wanted to sit on the throne?

Give it to him, give it to him, give it all to him.

If only he could let him see it.

Only when he really saw him standing in front of him intact, would the huge stone in his heart disappear...

Just one look will do, as long as he is intact...

Jiang Shou held an exquisite jade box in his hand. The box was inlaid with gems and flickered with a faint light. Inside was a tiger talisman, while Zhu Ruo was holding the sleeping Princess Changle in his arms.

When the Queen Mother passed away, she wanted to follow her, but the Queen Mother wanted her to see Princess Changle return to Prince Yan's Mansion with her own eyes.

That day, after the Emperor went back on his word and kept Princess Changle, she went to the Imperial Study to find him that night, bringing the Empress Dowager's imperial decree.

As a result, the emperor said nothing, but only asked her to take good care of Princess Changle.

It turns out that Prince Yan is the child of the Emperor and the late Queen Ouyang.

No wonder she felt a sense of déjà vu when she saw Prince Yan crying when he was a child.

It turns out that she doesn't look like the emperor but more like the late Empress Ouyang.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh softly.

If I had known this earlier, there wouldn’t have been so many unsatisfactory things. Maybe the Queen Mother could have lived two more years.

When the emperor saw that everything was ready, he immediately wanted to take them out of the palace in the rain overnight. Although Jiang Shou was worried about his health, he also knew how he felt at the moment. He pursed his lips and ultimately did not try to persuade him. Unexpectedly, just as they stepped out of the door, the emperor retracted his foot.

He said in a deep voice: "Let the Night Dragon Army escort them!"

Then, he waved his hand and said to Ye Xuan, the leader of the Night Dragon Army: "Ye Xuan, your master will be King Yan in the future!"

Jiang Shou got anxious when he heard this: "No... Your Majesty, absolutely not..."

No one understands better than Jiang Shou what the Night Dragon Army means to the emperor.

Handing over the Night Dragon Army is equivalent to the emperor handing over his life. Even if the emperor wants to compensate Prince Yan, there is no need to do so.

Although the Prince of Yan seems cold and heartless, he is a kind-hearted person. With time, he believes that the Prince of Yan will be able to understand the Emperor's helplessness.

After all, the emperor is also a victim.

But the old emperor ignored it and waved his hand heavily.

Not only did he want to hand over the Night Dragon Army to King Yan, he also wanted to hand over the world to him.

He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat before continuing to order, "Xiao Jiang, quickly summon Duke Jun and Minister Pei. I have something important to discuss with them!"

Then, he whispered something into Jiang Shou's ear...

In Prince Yu's Mansion, Xiao Jun'an was just sad for a moment because of Concubine Rong's death, but the next moment, after hearing Fang Hui's report, he no longer cared.

"Prince, Commander Su is here to deliver the decree. The Emperor wishes to summon you!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jun'an sneered, "Father is really quick to act!"

We are not fools, this summons must be a Hongmen Banquet.

In recent days, he has been using the excuse of cooperating with the Ministry of Justice's investigation and has not even lived in the Prince's Mansion. Why would he risk his life at this moment?

Not only that, he has asked Ouyang Qing to take Princess Changning to the Western Regions.

He was not worried about Changning, but about the Western Regions...

Therefore, he used Changning as an excuse to send Ouyang Qing away at this critical moment...

The time has come for him to have a real showdown with King Yan.

Sure enough, Fang Hui continued: "Prince, the Prince of Yan's Mansion has begun to take action, we should also..."

He didn't continue with the next words, but they were obvious.

The old emperor has reached a consensus with the Prince of Yan, and the two of them are going to join forces to eradicate his prince.

His prince really has no way out.

If you don't rebel, are you just going to sit there and wait for death?

No one will sit still and wait for death...

Unless forced to that point, no one is willing to go down a path of no return.

Because taking a step back would mean eternal damnation...

After hearing Fang Hui's words, Xiao Jun'an's eyes flashed with determination. He clenched his fist, then took the sword that Fang Hui handed to him and gave an order in a deep voice: "Act immediately!"
