Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

But when he waited and waited at Shuanglong Pass, he did not see the crown prince coming to see him. Thinking of giving the emperor a surprise, he could not wait to lead his army to Heguan City.

Unexpectedly, there was no surprise. Instead, there was shocking news that the Third Prince had tricked the Crown Prince into the mountains, intending to put him to death, and had also instigated the rebels in the camp to murder the veteran general and Princess Le'an.

The emperor was furious, and immediately surrounded the military camp with his troops. He arrested all the soldiers who had participated in the rebellion and punished them severely.

When the emperor learned from Doctor Li and Doctor Qiao that Princess Le'an had broken through the siege and entered the mountains to meet the crown prince, his heart began to beat wildly. His face became extremely ugly, and he issued an order, "Quickly send troops into the mountains to help the crown prince and Princess Le'an."

Neither the Crown Prince nor Princess Le'an can get into any trouble.

One is the bloodline left by the Empress Yuan, whom he loved in his life, and the successor he personally raised and cultivated; the other is a remarkable woman who, although born in the countryside, has great abilities and has brought many surprises and earth-shaking changes to the Dayuan Dynasty in just less than a year.

He also wanted to create a peaceful and prosperous era and become an emperor whose name would go down in history. The Crown Prince and Princess Le'an were definitely two indispensable and crucial people.

The emperor looked into the distance at the undulating mountains that looked like a winding dragon. His thoughts were turbulent and he was secretly worried. He hoped that the two of them could be blessed by heaven and escape danger. He was determined to hold on until the Black Armor Guards rescued them...

-----------------

There were continuous loud thunders, accompanied by lightning that tore through the sky, occasionally illuminating the mountains.

As a lightning bolt split the sky, it seemed as if a big hole had been torn open in the sky, and the sound of crackling rain fell. In an instant, the wind with moisture suddenly poured into his neck, waking up the unconscious prince.

The prince, still frightened and haunted by the blood before he fainted, woke up in shock and looked around, realizing that he was in a cave.

Outside the cave, the sound of rain was pounding, smashing the flowers, plants and trees to pieces. The sky was dark, and it was hard to tell day from night. There were only bursts of thunder, which made people's eardrums hurt.

Through the campfire, the prince, who had calmed down, discovered that in the cave, apart from the guards who swore to protect him all the way, they were treating each other's wounds on one side.

In addition, the Black Scale Guards who came to provide assistance later like divine soldiers were busy helping to add firewood to the fire and boil water.

They were the secret guards who were responsible for protecting the emperor. Their presence here meant that my father had personally led the army to the border... and might even have come to Heguan City.

The Crown Prince thought of the Third Prince's rebel group inside Hehe Pass, and became concerned about the Emperor's safety. He got so excited that he rushed out.

Fortunately, someone stopped him and pushed him back onto the haystack.

"Princess Le'an? Why are you here?"

Lin Xiaoyue rubbed her brows and asked someone to rebandage the prince's wound, which had broken open again. "He couldn't stay in Heguan City any longer, so he naturally ran here. Okay, sit down quickly. The wound that was bandaged with great difficulty has broken again."

Lin Xiaoyue moved aside and let the Black Scale Guard come forward to take off the prince's outer clothes and re-bandage his wounds.

Although the prince had guards protecting him during the battle, he still had wounds of varying sizes all over his body.

However, compared to the guards who died or were disabled, and those who survived with great difficulty were missing limbs or had countless hideous knife wounds on their bodies, the prince's skin was broken and bleeding, which was considered light.

Upon hearing that there were undercurrents in Heguan City, the prince was concerned about the emperor's safety and became even more restless.

Lin Xiaoyue noticed that the prince's lips were pale, but he was still trying to rush out of the cave. She was not stupid, so she could guess what the prince was worried about. She waved her hand and asked the Black Scale Guard to report the situation to the prince immediately, so that the prince would not be able to bandage the wound and move around randomly, which would cause the wound to crack again.

Fortunately, he didn't have to struggle for too long. The Black Scale Guard methodically took out the first aid kit and stopped the bleeding and treated the prince's wounds. At the same time, he reported the situation to the prince truthfully to calm his anxious heart.

According to the Black Scale Guards, the emperor's personal expedition was not a rash move. The more than 100,000 soldiers accompanying him immediately captured all the rebels in Heguan City who were bewitched by the Third Prince and had evil intentions.

Because the safety of the crown prince was at stake, the emperor resorted to drastic measures. He did not even conduct multiple interrogations, but directly convicted those people based solely on mutual reports.

The Black Scale Guards were ordered by the Emperor to go up the mountain to search for and rescue the Crown Prince and Princess Le'an. When they left the Heguan City camp, there were already many dead heads in front of the military camp, and the ground was dyed red with blood.

The Black Scale Guard suddenly intervened, ruining the Third Prince's plans. He was completely stunned until the Third Prince was captured by the Black Scale Guard. He never expected that his plan would take a sharp turn and fail so quickly.

He thought that with the staff he left behind and the confidants sent to him by his uncle Shen Zhigao in Heguan City, he would be able to eliminate the prince without anyone knowing.

Who would have thought that his father would not stay peacefully in the imperial city, but would run to this remote border area to join in the fun, and even ruined his good deeds..., it's really, God is not blessing him.

The third prince was still trying to escape, thinking that as long as he had the green mountains, he would not be afraid of running out of firewood. As a result, the whole mountain was filled with the Black Scale Guards and the Imperial Guards sent by the emperor to search for the prince.

Those around the emperor were the elites among the elites, and there was a world of difference between them and the ordinary soldiers bribed by the third prince.

When the two sides faced off, there was almost no suspense. The Third Prince's side was in an almost one-sided situation and was defeated cleanly and decisively.

All the personal soldiers that the Third Prince brought to the mountain to encircle and suppress the Crown Prince were captured and dragged back to the barracks like dead dogs, waiting for the Emperor's personal order to sentence them to death.

As for the third prince, don't even think about living comfortably. The emperor waved his hand and sentenced him to guard the imperial mausoleum and confess his crimes in front of the ancestors. It's better to leave immediately without even a moment's hesitation.

The Third Prince was tied up with his hands behind his back and his mouth gagged throughout the entire process. In order to prevent him from biting his tongue to commit suicide, the Black Scale Guard even removed his jaw expressionlessly.

It is really sad and deplorable that a prince has fallen to such a state.

Not to mention that when Lin Xiaoyue learned that the emperor dealt with the traitors so vigorously for the sake of the prince, he even did not let his own son go and threw him into the mud.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, as expected, the imperial family is the most ruthless.

After learning of the third prince's fate, the crown prince remained silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed and let the matter go.

As for why so many things happened during his coma, it was naturally because the prince was in a coma for two days and two nights.

The Black Scale Guards are not just humanoid weapons that can only slaughter and kill, some of them also have some basic medical skills.
