The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

He still had some chance of winning the battle for the throne, not to mention that his uncle, Zhang You, the Grand Tutor, had already secured five thousand troops for him in the Imperial Guard.

As long as he can get the Emperor Yan's last will and the support of the 5,000 imperial guards, the throne will belong to him. When he ascends the throne, he will immediately recall the 100,000 troops from Nanyue to serve as his backing, and great things will be accomplished.

Thinking of this, his eyes lit up and a sneer appeared on the corners of his mouth. Since Jiang Fan was not in the capital, it was time for them to take action.

The reason why they have not taken any action until now is that they are worried that Jiang Fan is using a strategy of confusing the enemy with a new one. What the four princes are most worried about is not Emperor Yan and Chu Yan'er, but Jiang Fan.

It was really because Jiang Fan was too cunning. If Jiang Fan pretended to leave the capital but was actually watching them from behind, the four princes would definitely not dare to act rashly.

But now that they are sure Jiang Fan is not in Beijing, they can let go and do their best.

The only pity is that Jiang Fan did not die in Hezhou Pass, and the plan to kill Jiang Fan did not succeed. This is what they are most unwilling to accept.

At the Sixth Prince's residence, Jiang Zheng was silent when he received the news. He clenched his fists, feeling that the heaven was unfair. Why was Jiang Fan able to turn danger into safety every time?

He even secretly cursed Mu Yuntian as a fool, who failed to deal with Jiang Fan and instead lost his own life.

Jiang Zheng slowly suppressed his resentment and anger, looked at his confidant in front of him, and said calmly: "Is everything ready?"

Upon hearing this, the confidant quickly replied: "Your Highness, everything has been prepared and we are just waiting for tonight!"

"Well, that's good. Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night! I wonder what expressions my three good brothers will have when they find out that they are preparing wedding clothes for me. I am really looking forward to it..."

"Your Highness, aren't you worried that the three of them won't take action tonight?!" The confidant looked at Jiang Zheng with a worried look in his eyes.

Hearing this, Jiang Zheng curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a look of contempt and ridicule on his face.

"Don't worry, they will take action, because the arrow is on the string and has to be shot. If anyone is a step slower, there may be no recovery. Even if they feel that something is wrong, they have to act."

"If they don't act, then we will act on our own. We must make a decision tonight!"

When the confidant heard this, he looked confused. But he still responded respectfully and turned away.

In the palace, Emperor Yan was sitting behind the dragon table in the Taiji Hall, looking at the battle report in his hand with a proud smile on his face.

After he received the news that Jiang Fan had dealt with the Northern Mongolian Army, he was still in shock. He thought that Jiang Fan might need to put in some effort to deal with the Northern Mongolian Army.

But who would have thought that Chu Chengfeng inadvertently helped his son, dealt a heavy blow to the Northern Mongolian army, and won the hearts of the enemy.

If Chu Chengfeng had not accidentally dealt a heavy blow to the Northern Mongolian army, I am afraid that even if Jiang Fan had a hundred clever strategies, he would not have been able to defeat the Northern Mongolian army overnight!

After being happy, Emperor Yan's expression gradually turned ugly. He looked at Shadow and asked, "Are you sure that all three of their sects have shown unusual movements?"

Shadow nodded when he heard this and said quickly, "Your Majesty, the guards at the three gates have obviously increased. During such a celebration, I am afraid that excited people may break into the palace."

After knowing that Jiang Fan had defeated the Northern Mongolian army as soon as he went to Hezhou Pass, the people in the capital were now in a frenzy, and the entire capital was almost sleepless.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yan showed a hint of sarcasm on his face. The guard commanders of the three gates were really good at making excuses. They could even come up with such a lame excuse.

Even if the common people broke into the palace, the palace’s guards would not be able to stop them?

However, he seemed to have thought of something, and a smug look appeared on his face again. He smiled and said, "My son Qilin is really good at predicting things. He said that if there is news from him, that would be the time for those people to take action. Now it seems that he was not wrong at all."

"Shadow, do everything I tell you to do. Next, let's watch a good show!"

Upon hearing this, Shadow nodded respectfully and turned to leave.

The sky gradually darkened. In Prince Qin's mansion, Chu Yan'er looked up at the sky. She put away the book in her hand, smiled faintly, and stood up.

"Let's go, Xiaolan...it's our turn!" As she spoke, Xiaolan, dressed in light armor, hurried over to change clothes for Chu Yan'er.

However, after Chu Yan'er put on the armor, her belly bulged slightly. It looked like she was four months pregnant.

Jiang Fan had been gone for nearly two months. Chu Yan'er had wanted to tell Jiang Fan about her pregnancy, but in order not to distract Jiang Fan, she finally chose to keep it a secret.

Chu Yan'er stroked her belly gently, with a look of happiness on her face, and said softly: "Little guy, your mother will go to clear the obstacles for your father. You can be good!"

"I don't know if your father can come back before you are born!" When she said this, her face showed worry and loss.

"Miss, your husband will be back soon...don't worry!" Chu Xiaoya on the side hurriedly spoke to comfort her.

At this point, the little girl looked at Chu Xiaolan, who was dressed in military uniform, and said, "Sister Lan, the young lady is now in your hands. Take good care of her!"

Chu Xiaoya's fighting ability was not as good as Chu Xiaolan's. She wanted to go with them, but Chu Yan'er asked her to stay in the palace, so she had no choice but to stay.

"Don't worry, miss will be fine with me here!" Chu Xiaolan rubbed Chu Xiaoya's head and said with a smile.

"Don't rub my head..." Chu Xiaoya pouted and pulled Chu Xiaolan's hand away. Looking at the two little girls fighting, Chu Yan'er couldn't help laughing.

She patted the two of them lightly and nodded. Then, she and her men quietly left the Prince Qin's Mansion and headed towards the designated location.

The night was getting darker and darker. As night fell, the three forces suddenly launched a mutiny and advanced towards the palace from three gates.

Along the way, they encountered almost no resistance because most of the guards were their own people, with each gate bringing five thousand men.

When they gathered at the Taiji Hall, the three parties had a total of 15,000 soldiers. The three parties were divided into three camps and surrounded the entire Taiji Hall.

Emperor Yan sat in front of the dragon table of the Tai Chi, listening to the noise outside, his eyes became colder and colder. There was a hint of disappointment in his eyes, and he sighed slightly.

He really didn't want his three sons to launch a rebellion. Before the rebellion happened, he hoped that all this was just his guess, just Jiang Fan's guess.

But now it seems that he was overthinking, his sons really let him down. Because of his kindness, it turned into the current fratricide between father and son.

Among the three armies, the three princes stood in front of their respective camps. They looked at their other two brothers with no surprise in their eyes.
