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

The prince appeared in the Golden Palace with the imperial edict in his hand.

He looked sad, "My father has passed away!"

"Before he died, my father passed the throne to me."

The courtiers kneeling on the ground looked at each other in bewilderment.

If the prince was not the emperor's biological son, how could he pass the throne to him?

"Why didn't Eunuch An come out to deliver the imperial decree?"

A court official raised a question.

The prince took a grim look and saw that it was the Minister of War who supported the Second Prince.

"Long live the Emperor, long live, long live the Emperor!"

The court officials who supported the crown prince's ascension to the throne kowtowed one after another.

The court officials who were originally on the sidelines also submitted their submission.

The prince walked to the dragon throne in the middle and stood still, "Everyone, please stand up."

After saying this, the prince sat down on the dragon throne.

This was the position he had been longing for, and today, he finally sat down with full justification.

"Your Majesty, since the late emperor has passed away, the Ministry of Rites should immediately begin preparations for the coronation ceremony."

"A country cannot be without a ruler for a day. I second your proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

The prince was very happy, "Minister of Rites!"

The Minister of Rites lowered his head and stepped out of the line, "I am here!"

"I order you to complete all related matters within three days. I will hold the coronation ceremony three days later."

The Minister of Rites knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with the ancestral rules!"

"To ascend the throne, the Heavenly Master must ask the Heaven to select a day, and then one can ascend the throne."

The prince looked grimly at the court officials below.

"I am God. When I say it will be the time!"

The Minister of Rites fell to the ground in fear.

At this moment, a large number of armored guards rushed in from outside.

As soon as the guards entered the room, they aimed their bows and arrows at the prince sitting on the dragon throne.

"Come here, there's an assassin!"

Someone shouted and everyone in the hall panicked.

The prince's guards surrounded him.

A man walked in from outside the door. It was the second prince wearing armor.

The knife in his hand was slowly dripping blood.

"He is not a prince at all! He forged the imperial edict. Come, arrest him!"

The second prince pointed the knife in his hand at the crown prince.

Immediately, a large number of guards rushed towards the prince.

Suddenly, a large number of masked men in black appeared in the hall.

The second prince took a look and found that the clothes were the same as those of the people who were chasing him that day.

He pointed at the prince and said, "So, the person who wanted to kill me that day was sent by you!"

"Come here, capture him alive. I will chop him into pieces!"

When the second prince thought of the death of the second princess, new and old grudges surged into his heart. He raised his knife and rushed towards the prince.

The men in black shot the arrows in their hands at the second prince.

The second prince quickly rolled to the side of the pillar.

The guards beside the prince hurriedly escorted him out through a small door at the side.

For a moment, arrows flew everywhere in the Golden Throne Hall.

The court officials were in a panic and looked around for a place to hide.

Xiao Minshen took advantage of the chaos and followed, running out through the small door.

He looked at the back of the prince who was fleeing in panic in front of him, hesitated for a moment, then turned and ran towards the palace.

Just when he was halfway there, he ran into Mo Yi who was looking for him.

"Where are the concubines being held?"

"Your Majesty, I will lead the way."

The two of them quickly came to the palace where Shen Yunjin and others were imprisoned.

However, the palace was empty.

"How come there is no one here, Mo Yi, are you remembering correctly?"

Mo Yi also felt strange. He walked to the back of the antique display cabinet and pushed open the small window.

"Master, you are right. I saw Yang Liu climbing out of this window."

"Hurry up and look for him to see if he has been detained somewhere else."

The two began to search palace by palace.

At this time, Shen Yunjin was looking at the prince opposite him vigilantly.

Just now, upon hearing that the emperor had passed away, the officials and their wives couldn't help crying.

The guards guarding the door began to evacuate one after another.

When Yang Liu saw this, he shouted and everyone ran out.

Shen Yunjin's belly was too big, and she was worried about being squeezed, so she waited until everyone had left before coming out.

She and Wang Zhaozhao walked to the palace gate and heard that the court officials were still imprisoned.

She was worried about Xiao Minshen, so she ordered Yang Liu to go back and tell Mo Yi a message.

Yang Liu was reluctant to leave, so Shen Yunjin showed her the crossbow on his wrist.

"Look, I have this, and Madam Han is still here. She will take me back home."

"Right now, the palace is in chaos, so you should be careful."

Yang Liu thought that if he hurried a little, he would be able to catch up with Shen Yunjin's carriage soon.

She turned around and quickly entered the palace.

Shen Yunjin got on Wang Zhaozhao's carriage, and the carriage stopped as soon as it drove out.

Then several masked men came up and slashed at the two men with knives.

In a panic, Shen Yunjin raised his hand and pulled the trigger.

The arrow hit the chest of a man in black, and the man fell off the carriage.

Wang Zhaozhao picked up the teacup beside him and smashed it on the black-clothed man's head.

Shen Yunjin pressed the trigger several times in succession. The men in black realized his power and jumped off the carriage one after another.

Wang Zhaozhao discovered that the carriage was not moving.

"Jin'er, I'm going to go out and take a look. You stay in the car and don't come out."

"No, what if there are only men in black outside? If you go out, you will be trapped!"

"But it's not safe for us to wait in the car."

"I'll go out and drive. We need to leave this place quickly."

Wang Zhaozhao ignored Shen Yunjin's obstruction and lifted the curtain and stuck his head out.

Sure enough, the driver fell to the ground, dead.

Seeing that there was no movement outside, Wang Zhaozhao gritted her teeth and quickly picked up the reins.

"Gee!" She flicked the reins and the horse started moving again.

At this time, a knife was placed on Wang Zhaozhao's neck.

Shen Yunjin saw it clearly in the car, "No!"

She raised her hand, pointed at the person outside the curtain, and was about to pull the trigger.

At this time, a man jumped up from under the car and put a knife on Shen Yunjin's neck.

"Concubine Shen, we meet again!"

Shen Yunjin turned his head and saw that another person got on the carriage. It was the Crown Prince Xiao Minxuan.

Wang Zhaozhao was tied up tightly and thrown into a carriage.

Shen Yunjin hurriedly tried to help Wang Zhaozhao up, and the knife on his neck moved forward again.

There was no choice but for Shen Yunjin to sit up straight.

"I have met the prince. I wonder how he ended up in my carriage?"

The prince did not answer, but smiled at her.

"This thing in Concubine Shen's hand is quite interesting. Can I have a look at it?"

"Your Highness, could you please release Madam Han first? I will take her down and present her to you."

The prince's eyes flashed with disdain, "Concubine Shen, do you think you are qualified to negotiate with me?"

Shen Yunjin looked at Wang Zhaozhao who was lying on the ground and shaking his head at her, and took off the crossbow from her wrist.

The prince took it in his hand and looked it up and down.

This crossbow is only the size of his palm and can shoot three arrows at a time.

There is a secret box at the bottom, which contains arrows.

He aimed the crossbow at Wang Zhaozhao who was lying on the floor.
