After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

The second prince, Xiao Minchen, was the first to set foot on the land of Shengjing, but a team of armored soldiers appeared in front of him.

"The emperor has ordered that if Xiao Minchen does not respond to the imperial edict, he will never be allowed to enter the capital."

A soldier drove his horse to the front and bowed to Xiao Minchen.

"Get out of the way. My father is seriously ill. Why would anyone stop me from entering the capital?"

"You forged the imperial edict, do you know what crime that is?"

Xiao Minchen is just a commoner now, so the soldiers did not answer.

As soon as he waved his hand, all the soldiers behind him stood in a row, aiming the bows and arrows in their hands at Xiao Minchen's men.

After receiving the news, Xiao Minchen started traveling day and night.

At this time, he and his men were exhausted.

If you want to force your way in, it will definitely not be easy.

He waved his hand and all the troops began to retreat.

His staff drove the horses to Xiao Minchen's side.

"Second Prince, are we just giving up like this?"

"Tell them to find a place so we can repair it first."

This time, Xiao Minchen came prepared.

He brought back all the guards that he had retrained in the past few years this time.

They found a place with mountains and water and set up camp.

The second prince took out the secret letter from his arms.

He didn't know who gave him the secret letter.

The letter contained only a few words: "The emperor is critically ill, and the prince is in power."

At the end, it says: "A cat replaces a prince."

The second prince pondered the contents of the letter over and over again.

The first two sentences were easy to understand, but he was a little unsure about the last one.

A civet cat for a prince?

Could it be that the prince was not born to the queen?

However, over the years, the Queen's love for the Prince was no different from that of his mother.

This matter is groundless. Should he believe it or not?

He was also worried. What if this was a trap set for him by someone?

Then he received a letter from Concubine Hua.

The emperor is seriously ill, and the crown prince is now in power.

He decided to give it a try!

If the prince is not the emperor's biological son, then he is the boss.

He is the prince who is most qualified to sit on the throne.

As for the truth of the last sentence, he felt it was better to believe it than not.

Anyway, this time, either he or the prince will die!

He called his staff over to discuss how to enter Beijing.

The aide stroked his mustache and said, "Second Prince, I think we can wait a little longer."

"Didn't our previous intelligence say that the Third Prince was also on his way back?"

The second prince frowned, "You mean, this prince and the third prince will cooperate?"

The aide shook his head, "No."

"The third prince was also demoted, so he probably can't enter the city either."

"We can wait for them to arrive, and while they are entangled with the soldiers, we can take the opportunity to force our way into the city."

"If the third brother sneaks in, won't we have an extra opponent?"

The staff lowered their voices and asked, "Don't we have a backup plan?"

"This time, the Second Prince will definitely get what he wants!"

A determined smile also appeared on Xiao Minchen's face.

At dawn, the third prince's team arrived.

The third prince only brought a dozen guards with him, and it was obvious that he had traveled day and night to rush back.

He was also stopped outside the city by the guards.

"My father is ill, so I should go to his bedside to take care of him. How dare you stop me?"

The third prince was in a hurry to go to the capital, and when he was stopped by the guards, he spoke in a rather aggressive tone.

The officer waved his hand and the soldiers behind him began to line up.

One row of men holding spears and shields stood in the front, and another row of men holding bows and arrows, riding on horses, stood at the back.

The third prince's guards quickly drew their swords and protected him in the middle.

The third prince saw the city gate right in front of him, but he couldn't go in.

He pulled the horse and turned around in an anxious manner.

At this moment, an arrow flew from behind them and shot at the soldiers who were blocking them.

The soldier fell down.

He had no time to see who shot the arrow.

"Hurry up, protect this king!"

He drew the knife from his waist and swung his arm.

All the guards began to rush forward, supporting the third prince.

The soldiers rushed forward to stop them, but unexpectedly more and more arrows were shot from the opposite side.

Led by his guards, the third prince was about to run into the city gate.

There was a lot of horse hoof sounds coming from behind.

I saw a few Ferghana horses galloping past the third prince.

The second prince rode on his horse and looked back at the third prince.

With a ruthless look in his eyes, he turned around and led his men into the city gate first.

"Second brother!"

The third prince then realized that the person who shot the arrow at him from behind was the second prince.

A cold sweat broke out on his spine.

Just now, if the people shot by the second prince were not the soldiers but their group, then the ones lying on the ground now would be them.

He wouldn't be so stupid as to think that the Second Prince was helping him.

He saw the endless stream of people entering the city behind the Second Prince, and instantly realized that the Second Prince had arrived last night.

It seems that the second prince must have come prepared this time.

He kicked the horse's belly and said, "Gee! Hurry to the palace!"

Everyone followed.

They arrived at the palace gate and the second prince dismounted.

"The emperor has ordered that Xiao Minchen is already a commoner, and without permission, you cannot..."

Before the young eunuch could finish his words, the second prince stabbed him with his sword.

Seeing this, another young eunuch ran away.

"There is an assassin, catch the assassin quickly!"

Before the young eunuch could run a few steps, an arrow shot from behind and hit him directly in the vest, killing him.

The second prince entered the palace with a few personal guards, bows and arrows in hand.

Whenever he saw someone trying to stop him, he would just stab them with his sword.

In this way, he reached the Yangxin Palace invincible.

Eunuch An, who received the news, stood at the gate of the palace.

"Second Prince, since you have entered the palace, you should abide by the palace rules. Please put down your weapons."

The second prince was still somewhat wary of Eunuch An, who was by the emperor's side.

According to legend, Eunuch An is good at kung fu.

However, no one saw him take action.

He thought for a moment and threw the sword in his hand to the guard behind him.

"Second Prince!" the guard called out worriedly.

Xiao Minchen bowed to Eunuch An.

"I am here to visit my father, so please help me, Eunuch An."

Eunuch An glanced behind him.

At this time, the third prince also arrived.

"Second Prince, Third Prince, you two may come in. The rest of you, please wait outside the palace."

Eunuch An stood at the entrance of the palace, looking at the two people opposite him.

Seeing this, the third prince threw the sword in his hand to the guard.

Eunuch An then moved aside and made way.

The second prince stepped into the hall first, and the third prince followed quickly.

The second prince saw the aging emperor on the bed at a glance. He didn’t expect that the emperor was so old.

"How did you serve the emperor? Why did the emperor fall into a coma?"

He turned around and angrily scolded Eunuch An.
