Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

Li Xuan had a severe headache. The battle with Luo Chuan consumed almost all of his physical strength. The sword that killed the queen was the last blow, so Li Chengge did not use his full strength in the arrow and he could not block it.

Be it the emperor, Li Chengge, or Luochuan who was watching the fun in mid-air, none of them expected that Li Xuan could not dodge the prince's knife.

The prince was also confused.

I couldn't even get past him before, and now I actually hurt him.

Li Xuan vomited blood and staggered to hold on to the table. The pain pulled him out of his memories. When he woke up, the feeling of loneliness and loss became even stronger.

"Xun'er!"

The emperor looked at his blood-stained back, his eyes full of heartache, and this call startled the queen again!

"What did your majesty call him?"

The queen's chest was only skin broken. The hand covering the wound suddenly tightened and her eyes were extremely complicated.

The emperor suddenly looked much older and closed his eyes. "I can write an edict to pass on the throne, but you can't touch him."

After a deathly silence, the queen looked at the emperor with hatred and provocation, but gritted her teeth and ordered the prince, "Kill him!"

"He is your Majesty's illegitimate son! He must die completely!"

"Otherwise, as long as he lives in this world, His Majesty will want to leave the throne to him instead of you!"

When the queen said this, everyone was shocked, including the prince.

No one was willing to believe her, but this reason did explain why the emperor would rather die than protect the imperial master! Logically, the imperial master should have protected the emperor.

That's great. The emperor even wrote an edict of succession just for the imperial teacher.

The prince's hand holding the knife was still shaking, and he hesitated, "Illegitimate child... He, he is?"

"It wasn't him who died that year!"

The queen was angry, "That's right. You kill him now, this man cannot be left alive!"

The prince swung his sword mechanically again. Li Xuan raised his sword to block, but it slipped out of his hand and the silver sword fell to the ground with a clang.

The prince smiled grimly, roared and rushed towards him.

There was blood on the corner of Li Xuan'an's mouth, and his clear eyes were filled with a chilling sneer. When the knife came down, he turned his head to avoid it, and quickly pounced on him, pressing one arm tightly on the prince's throat and pushing him into the corner.

Then his eyes turned fierce and he punched the prince in the face.

One punch, two punches, three punches...

The prince's mouth was full of blood and he turned his face to the side. He looked over with fire in his eyes, "You bastard!"

"Bang!" Li Xuan punched again.

The prince looked over again, "I didn't expect that someone would be willing to die for you."

It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned this. As soon as he mentioned it, Li Xuan got even angrier and punched him. The prince immediately spat out blood and a tooth fell out.

After being hit more than a dozen times, half of the prince's face was swollen beyond recognition, and the sound of his broken cheekbones was terrifying.

The Queen was furious, pointing at the Northern Camp soldiers who were watching the fun and yelling, "What are you still standing there for? If anything happens to me and the Crown Prince, you will all be buried with us!"

The Northern Camp soldiers drew their swords and stood up. Li Chengge and Cen Ye rushed out with archers to block them.

The Queen narrowed her eyes, "General Feihu is really a fence-sitter."

"If I had known you were so useless, I shouldn't have kept you!"

Li Chengge felt very aggrieved, all he wanted was to bring honor to his family and become a superior person, but the fact was that even the victory in the Northwest was predicted by Li Xuan!

Although this man was an impostor, as Cen Ye said, he had never harmed himself or the Marquis's Mansion.

"Please forgive me, Queen. I am really terrified that you and the Crown Prince are forcing me to abdicate. Even if Ye Xue committed a capital crime, it is different from the Marquis's betrayal of Your Majesty."

The queen had planned everything, but she never expected that Li Chengge would turn against her at the last minute.

In a rage, he screamed, "Kill them! Kill them all!"

Let the Northern Camp soldiers fight each other. They are brothers who see each other every day. Who can bear to do that?

It was the prince's guard who drew his sword first, but the sword broke inexplicably the next second.

Luochuan was getting a little impatient waiting in the air, and seeing that Li Xuan couldn't even block the prince's sword, he thought the outcome was decided. However, Li Xuan's desperate punches aroused his interest again.

"Empress, if it's not meant for you, don't try to take it away from me."

"These soldiers have children. If they play with you, their entire clans may be implicated. They are not fools."

The queen gritted her teeth, "Shut up!"

"Why, even you want to betray me?"

"You have helped me a lot over the years. Any one of these things would be enough to kill you. You are crazy. Why don't you protect him?" The queen pointed at Li Xuan'an. Seeing that the prince was beaten to the point of bleeding in the corner of his eyes, she rushed over in desperation.

Luo Chuan didn't care. "No, Queen, look at it yourself. Who can protect you in this situation?"

"I'm telling you, how can you be so confident that you can succeed in forcing the emperor to abdicate?"

The queen was so depressed that she stepped on her skirt and fell before she touched anyone. She saw the palace maid who died with her eyes open in a pool of blood and was almost frightened to death.

"what!"

At this time, the prince's guards saw that there was no room for maneuver and looked coldly at the soldiers of the North Camp who had defected, "Ignorant fools! The Imperial Guards have been transferred out of the palace, and those who have returned are all the prince's men."

"Just wait till you go to hell!"

After saying that, they jumped up and stabbed Li Xuan in the back.

Before they got close, a group of Jinyiwei descended from the sky.

"Princess, the imperial guards that were sent out of the city by the Queen... were intercepted by His Royal Highness Prince Yu!"

The eunuch ran back sweating profusely, knelt down at Meng Qianru's feet with a plop, took a look at Yinxiang who had already died, and shuddered suddenly.

Meng Qianru still held the bloody dagger in her hand, and blood dripped onto Yin Xiang's lifeless face. She smiled coldly, "Prince Yu is a man of great concern. He never trusts anyone."

"I borrowed someone from him, and he relied on me to get information about the palace. I thought I had left out everything, but I didn't expect that Yinxiang was even bought by him."

There are not many people around Meng Qianru whom she can trust. Yinxiang is the girl who has followed her since she was a child. This betrayal really makes her uncomfortable.

But she would never reflect on whether she was too harsh on her servants.

The young eunuch looked pale and said, "Princess, I'm afraid the Queen is dying. What should we do?"

"If I go over now to help His Majesty, I can also distance myself from the Queen and the Crown Prince."

The young eunuch glanced at Ye Zhen and said, "And Miss Ye Er, let's release her as well."

Meng Qianru looked at him and said, "You really care about the princess."

The young eunuch's face froze. He slowly lowered his head and watched the dagger being pulled out of his chest. His pupils trembled and he fell to the ground with a bang.

Ye Zhen was horrified as she watched. Meng Qianru killed two people without even frowning.

Yinxiang had served her for so many years, but she didn't even have the chance to explain herself.

Now, the only ones breathing in the room were Meng Qianru and her.

Meng Qianru looked over and carefully appreciated the fear in Ye Zhen's eyes, "What should we do? If the prince succeeds, he will be a prisoner. I will let you torture him. Just thinking about it makes me happy."

"It's a pity that the prince didn't take him down."

"Although Prince Yu wanted to intercept...but I guess the Jinyiwei had been arranged to guard against this trick long ago."

"If he comes here and sees how I treat you, I'm afraid he will kill me without even blinking an eye."

"But I won't give up."

Meng Qianru leaned over, and Ye Zhen shrank back, and suddenly a bloody dagger was pressed against the side of her neck.

Meng Qianru tilted her head, her eyes red, and laughed softly like a madman, "How about I cut your tendons first, and then when he comes, I'll give him a good beating?"

"Since I can't get his love, it would be nice to let him hate me for the rest of his life."

When Ye Zhen heard this, she was sure that she was crazy.

The dagger slid down her shoulder and stopped at her wrist. Ye Zhen broke out in a sweat and closed her eyes in resignation.

The expected pain did not appear, and Chen Bu's voice suddenly came in, "Qin Ru, things are not at a dead end yet, you don't have to put all your eggs in one basket."

"Give me Ye Zhen, you still have a chance."
