Why mess with her? Even the emperor has to pamper her.

When Xie Sheng was hesitating between leaving or attacking the mansion, the deputy general beside him spoke.

"Your Highness, if the princess hadn't come before, we might have had a chance of winning. But now that the princess is here, we don't have the slightest chance of winning."

The Prince's tutor also advised: "Your Highness, the Queen is still waiting for you, it is important to do the right thing. If everything goes well, the world will be yours in the future. At that time, you can do whatever you want to anyone."

Xie Sheng's frown relaxed. He glanced at Yun Chuwei, turned around, and raised his voice, "Go to the city gate! Meet the Queen Mother!"

After saying that, he walked away.

The troops who followed him also left quickly.

When Xie Xin saw that Xie Sheng chose to leave, he asked his men to make way for Xie Sheng.

After seeing Xie Sheng leading his men away, Xie Xin jumped up and landed next to Yun Chuwei.

She looked at Yun Chuwei and asked, "Are you okay?"

Yun Chu shook her head slightly: "It's okay! I have to thank the Fifth Princess. If the Fifth Princess hadn't come, perhaps the Crown Prince would not have let it go!"

"Why are you so polite?" Xie Xin said, and then he glanced at the direction where Xie Sheng left and sneered, "He is also stupid. Does he think that he can do whatever he wants if no one in the capital stops him? Little did he know that no one stopped him because no one from the emperor gave the order."

Only half of the troops in the city followed Xie Sheng. If he took action in the capital, all forces would have to get involved, and he wouldn't even be able to leave the capital!

However, he actually had no way to survive if he left the capital.

I wonder how many troops my father has deployed on this road from the capital to the Hot Spring Palace.

There was suddenly a bit more sympathy in Xie Xin's eyes. Xie Sheng didn't know yet that no matter which way he went, it would be a dead end.

Xie Xin retracted his gaze and said to Yun Chuwei, "Do you want to go out of the city and take a look?"

Yun Chuwei did not reply immediately, but whispered to Xie Xuan beside her: "Do you want to go and take a look?"

In fact, she had no interest in Xie Sheng's death.

But she didn't know whether Xie Xuan wanted to go and see it.

Xie Xin didn't notice Xie Xuan beside him at first, and just thought that she was the maid who was protecting Yun Chuwei.

After hearing Yun Chuwei's question, she couldn't help but look at Xie Xuan again.

Although Xie Xuan was wearing a black women's dress and a veil, Xie Xin still recognized him.

"Xie Xuan? You...you guys..."

She looked at Yun Chuwei, her lips twitching slightly: "You guys are too good at playing?"

Yun Chuwei coughed lightly and said nothing.

Xie Xuan ignored Xie Xin and just answered Yun Chuwei's question in a low voice: "I want to go and see!"

He now has very complicated feelings towards Xie Sheng.

On the one hand, he hated Xie Sheng for leading people to massacre the entire Xuanwang Mansion in his previous life.

On the other hand, he felt that Xie Sheng at this moment was the same as he was in his previous life.

Because of hatred, he wanted to watch Xie Sheng die.

Because he felt that Xie Sheng was like him, he wanted to see how he ended up with that inevitable death.

"Then go!" Yun Chu said in a gentle voice.

"I'll go with you!" Xie Xin said.

-

The three followed Xie Sheng's army out of the city from a distance.

Xie Sheng's army headed straight for the Hot Spring Palace.

When they were still three miles away from the Hot Spring Palace, Xie Sheng's army was stopped.

The one who led the troops to stop Xie Sheng was Lin Ji.

"Your Highness, according to His Majesty's order, you should be in the Eastern Palace now. Not only did you not stay in the Eastern Palace, you also led your troops out of the capital and headed straight for the Emperor. Are you planning a rebellion?" Lin Ji said coldly.

"I want to see my father!" Xie Sheng said.

Lin Ji said coldly: "Your Highness, you cannot see His Majesty. If you take the poisoned wine His Majesty has given you, I can let His Majesty see your corpse!"

"You..." Xie Sheng gritted his teeth, and then continued, "Lin Ji led his troops to prevent me from seeing His Majesty. I suspect that His Majesty was murdered by Lin Ji. It is our duty to defeat the traitor and protect His Majesty. Whoever can take Lin Ji's head will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!"

After Xie Sheng finished speaking, the people behind him rushed forward.

The two sides clashed swords and the scene was in chaos.

At the beginning, the two sides were evenly matched and suffered casualties on both sides.

However, not long after, two armies arrived in a hurry.

Xie Xin explained in a low voice: "These two are the armies trusted by the emperor. They have always been hidden and never used. I didn't expect that they would be used this time! I'm afraid the prince won't be able to hold on for too long."

As Xie Xin said, after these two armies joined, the battlefield became one-sided.

The army led by Xie Sheng suffered casualties and was soon defeated, with blood flowing like a river on the battlefield.

When Xie Sheng saw this scene, he was completely panicked.

He grabbed the arm of the Prince's tutor beside him and asked, "Teacher, what should we do now?"

The Prince's tutor's face turned pale, as if he had lost all his means.

In other words, he had already accepted his fate when he saw the reinforcements arriving.

The fact that these reinforcements were able to arrive here in such a short time proves that they had been lying in ambush around here, waiting for their arrival.

In other words, His Majesty was well prepared and had no intention of letting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meet him.

Seeing that his teacher was silent, the prince could only look at Queen Wang: "Mother, what should we do now? How can we see the emperor? How can we make a plea to him?"

Queen Wang opened her mouth, but couldn't utter the last sentence.

Her son is still too naive.

Now they knew that His Majesty had no intention of meeting them at all.

So, no matter what they do, it's useless.

What he didn't understand was why, even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs!

Xie Sheng was unwilling to admit defeat. He turned to the queen and said, "Mother, please speak! Please speak!"

Queen Wang thought carefully for a long time before she said, "Sheng'er, it's your father who wants us to die. No matter what we do, we can't escape! Sheng'er, I have prepared a team of secret guards who can take you away! From now on, you should keep your identity secret and live well!"

After Queen Wang finished speaking, a group of black-clad secret guards came from a distance.

They are in strong and agile postures, and they ride the best Ferghana horses that are picked from thousands of miles away.

The horses had no protective gear and ran lightly and fast.

A group of people rushed towards Queen Wang.

Queen Wang directly tied her shawl to Xie Sheng's hands, which meant that she wanted the team to rescue Xie Sheng.

Xie Sheng also understood what Queen Wang meant. He grabbed Queen Wang's wrist and said, "Mother, let's go together!"

Queen Wang pushed Xie Sheng's hand away.

She smiled and said, "Silly child. We can die together, but we can't escape together. If we escape together, your father will be angry and will send troops to chase us. Then, we will be worse off than dead!"

How could Xie Sheng escape from your Majesty's discerning eyes?

She must stay, she must die.

The more tragic her death is, the more compassion it will arouse Your Majesty's heart.

Only if Your Majesty is merciless, Xie Sheng will have a glimmer of hope.

As he was speaking, the secret guard rode up to Xie Sheng on horseback.

They simply dragged Xie Sheng onto his horse and started running away from the battlefield.
