A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Eunuch Xia thought, isn't this obvious? Prince Rui wants to usurp the throne. How can he take the throne without killing you, his father?

But he certainly didn't dare to say this, and only advised: "Your Majesty, you should leave for the time being, and come back when General Yang leads his troops to deal with those people."

Emperor Qiyuan closed his eyes and said, "Okay, take me to Yong'an Palace!"

Yong'an Palace was usually uninhabited, with only tablets of Zhao's ancestors inside. During festivals, the emperor would bring his descendants to kowtow and worship in memory of their ancestors.

Yong'an Palace was heavily guarded, and most people did not dare to invade it. Emperor Qiyuan chose to take refuge in Yong'an Palace, and even Prince Du Rui was in awe of Yong'an Palace and did not dare to enter easily.

However, just as Emperor Qiyuan and Eunuch Xia walked out of the imperial study, Prince Rui attacked with three or four hundred men.

Apparently, the rest had died in the battle.

There were only forty or fifty guards left in the palace, and they were forced to retreat step by step by Prince Rui's men, all the way to the door of the imperial study.

When the guards saw Emperor Qiyuan, they naturally formed a barrier and stood in front of Emperor Qiyuan.

"Where is your father in such a hurry to go?"

Prince Rui stood at the front of the team, holding a sword, and asked Emperor Qiyuan with an emotionless look.

Emperor Qi Yuan looked at the Second Prince and thought that he had never treated him badly since he was a child, but now he actually drew his sword against him! Emperor Qi Yuan felt angry at the moment, but more sad.

"Zhao Yiming, you rebellious son! How dare you rebel!"

Prince Rui sneered and said, "Father, please don't say such harsh words! As long as you give up the throne to me now, I will withdraw my troops immediately. You can still enjoy your old age in peace."

Emperor Qiyuan said angrily, "Don't even think about it! If you do this today, you will be a traitor! Even if you can get the throne, you will not be able to win the support of the people. Do you think it is that easy to hold on to the throne?"

Prince Rui said disdainfully: "You don't have to worry about this, father. However, I advise you with good intentions. It is better for you to know the current situation. If you insist on not changing your ways, don't blame me for not remembering the father-son relationship we have had for so many years!"

Emperor Qiyuan stared at the cold face of Prince Rui, and his heart was chilled. He knew that Prince Rui was threatening him, and if he did not give up the throne today, Prince Rui really intended to kill him.

"In fact, the rumors outside are true. You are the bastard born by that bitch Dong Yuehe and someone else, and you know this yourself, right?"

Emperor Qiyuan suddenly changed the subject and asked such a sharp question.

Prince Rui was stunned for a moment, then he became angry and said, "You are talking nonsense, I am not a bastard! It was you who took away the throne that should have belonged to my biological father, and it was you who took my mother away from him. What qualifications do you have to say that I am a bastard now?

All I did today was to take back what belongs to us!"

Emperor Qiyuan sneered, "Don't make such a high-sounding statement about plotting to usurp the throne! I am the heir appointed by the late emperor, and it is my right to inherit the throne! As for that bitch Dong Yuehe, I never forced her. It was the people in the Dong Mansion who voluntarily sent her to the palace to be selected as a concubine. How can you say she was snatched?"

But Prince Rui was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense. Hand over the jade seal and the tiger talisman now. I will spare your life and give you a safe place to live out our father-son relationship. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Emperor Qiyuan's face was extremely ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't even think about it! Even if you kill me today, you won't be able to find the jade seal and the tiger talisman!"

Hearing this, King Rui's eyes became even more sinister. He narrowed his eyes and said, "If that's the case, then prepare to die!"

After he finished speaking, he raised his arm, and the people behind him rushed forward and attacked Emperor Qiyuan.

Suddenly, a new round of fighting began.

Except for a dozen personal guards, Emperor Qiyuan only had about forty or fifty people left.

These people had been fighting for a long time, and some of them were injured. It was obvious that they had no chance of winning against the three or four hundred people led by King Rui.

Prince Rui rushed towards Emperor Qiyuan with a sharp sword in hand. Four guards stepped forward to resist him, and Prince Rui started fighting.

The personal guards of Emperor Qiyuan were naturally no ordinary people. Prince Rui was soon at a disadvantage when he fought against four of them alone.

However, King Rui had more people on his side, and soon two of his men came to help him.

Eunuch Xia protected Emperor Qi Yuan and slowly retreated to one side, hoping to find a chance to escape. But it was not that easy. The guards around them fought back one wave, and another wave rushed forward.

People from both sides fell one after another, and the smell of blood filled the entire palace.

The women in the harem had already heard the noise. They were all in a panic, as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

The Luo family was still in a festive mood at this moment. First, the bride and groom came to the hall to pay their respects, then the bride was sent to the bridal chamber, and then the groom and the guests toasted each other and chatted and laughed.

The Luo Mansion is far away from the Imperial Palace and Xiaoyao Palace, so no one here knows what happened in the Imperial Palace and Xiaoyao Palace.

To be precise, the guests having the wedding banquet here didn't know, and Luo Xiang himself knew what was going to happen in the palace today, but he didn't know what happened in Xiaoyao Palace!

Xiaoyao Palace invited the dignitaries in Beijing, while Luo Xiang invited most of the generals and relatives and friends in the military camp.

He was very enthusiastic and kept toasting the guests.

Most of the people in the military camp were outspoken and rough men. They jokingly told Luo Xiang to drink less, otherwise he would not be able to enter the bridal chamber.

Luo Xiang just smiled innocently and told everyone not to worry, he would be fine no matter how much he drank.

Everyone burst into laughter again.

Yang Zhi didn't drink much. Since Shen Qingqian left, he and Luo Xiang were the only ones in charge of military affairs.

The emperor did not send anyone to replace Shen Qingqian's position, probably because he still hoped that Shen Qingqian could come back.

Luo Xiang is getting married today, so he certainly won't be able to take care of things in the barracks, so Yang Zhi didn't dare to drink too much and planned to go back to the barracks after dinner.

However, Luo Xiang kept toasting him. At first, Yang Zhi couldn't resist and drank a few glasses. Later, Yang Zhi refused.

When they were almost done eating, Yang Zhi stood up and said, "Deputy General Luo, the barracks must be left unattended. I will take my leave now."

Luo Xiang would never let him leave so easily. He burped and pulled him aside, saying, "General Yang, you take good care of me on weekdays. Today is my wedding day, so I want to have a few more drinks with you! I hope General Yang can give me this face and stay a little longer to eat and drink more."
