Qi Shuoyu looked like someone had stepped on his tail, staring at Si Yan with hatred.

Why does this woman say he is pitiful?

He is the dignified King Chen, and this noble status alone is envied by many people. How could this woman come and say that he is pitiful?

Si Yan spoke slowly: "Prince Chen must not know why he is so pitiful?"

Qi Shuoyu said angrily, "Si Yan, stop using your sweet words to deceive me. Even if you tell the whole story today, you will still be dead."

His men have surrounded the South Gate of Suzaku so tightly that Si Yan and Qi Ziyu can't escape today even if they have wings.

Did Si Yan think he was the same as his old and foolish father? Was he bewitched by her in just a few words?

Si Yan's expression was cold and indifferent: "Your Highness Prince Chen, do you know who Mr. Wei in your house is?"

"Mr. Wei is my savior. He once saved my life." Qi Shuoyu said with a gloomy face.

"Wei Shu's true identity is that of a Beimang national. His Royal Highness Prince Chen is merely a pawn in his quest to control the power of the Great Xuan Dynasty. In other words, His Royal Highness Prince Chen is nothing but a traitor who aids and abets the tyrant."

"Si Yan! You are so brave! You are so sharp-tongued! You are spouting evil words!"

Qi Shuoyu was so angry that he was shaking all over. This woman actually dared to call him a traitor.

Si Yan looked at the furious Qi Shuoyu and said, "Doesn't King Chen know who the assassins in his own palace are? Most of them are authentic Beimang people."

"You're talking nonsense!" Qi Shuoyu said sternly, "Today, I am trying to kill you behind Mr. Wei's back. Mr. Wei has no idea. Besides, he's not from Beimang at all. Don't try to slander Mr. Wei, and don't even think about throwing dirty water on me."

He could accept Si Yan's words that he was extremely lustful, a playboy, and had accomplished nothing, but he could never accept Si Yan's words that he was a traitor.

"Wei Shu doesn't know?" Si Yan chuckled. "If His Highness Prince Chen moves a toe, he will know. Your good Mr. Wei turns a blind eye and only treats you as a stepping stone. Not only you, but also your uncle Xin Rui and your mother are all stepping stones under his feet."

"Someone, come here, shoot this crazy woman to death! Shoot this woman to death!" Qi Shuoyu's cheeks twitched and he yelled.

He originally wanted to humiliate this woman, but now he was so angry with her that he just wanted to kill her immediately.

The soldiers around them had already drawn their bows and were aiming at Si Yan and Qi Ziyu, but they did not move.

They were waiting for orders from Peng Yu, the guard of the Suzaku Gate, while Peng Yu looked at Si Yan who was standing under the city wall.

Si Yan smiled and said, "General Peng, His Highness Prince Chen is plotting treason. What do you think we should do?"

Peng Yu shouted back, "He should be arrested."

Qi Shuoyu:!!!

Si Yan couldn't help but laugh. If she hadn't dealt with Peng Yu, the guard of Suzaku Gate, she wouldn't have brought Prince Yong in.

Peng Yu's expression turned cold, and he turned to look at Qi Shuoyu: "Your Highness Prince Chen, have you had enough of this? If you have, we must go see His Majesty."

Qi Shuoyu was incredulous: "What did you say?"

Peng Yu spoke calmly, "Your Highness Prince Chen, Lord Si Yan has long since told this general that things have been unsettled in the capital recently, and someone might be causing trouble. I never expected it to be Prince Chen."

Qi Shuoyu stared at Peng Yu with wide eyes. How dare this man betray him?

Didn’t Tao Zai, a subordinate of Peng Yu, swear that their General Peng was ready?

Peng Yu had agreed to it in front of him, but now he's turning against him?

Tao Zai's face looked as ugly as if he had eaten shit. Peng Yu kept saying that he was on the side of the Prime Minister and Prince Xin!

Qi Shuoyu said calmly, "General Peng, didn't we agree that if we killed Si Yan and Prince Yong, your benefits would be inevitable when my brother Prince Xin ascends the throne in the future?"

Peng Yu stared at Qi Shuoyu coldly: "Your Highness Prince Chen, such treasonous words should be spoken before His Majesty."

Qi Shuoyu screamed, "Peng Yu! Are you and Si Yan teaming up to harm me?"

Peng Yu sighed, "Your Highness Prince Chen, ambushing Your Highness Prince Yong and the imperial officials at this palace gate is a capital crime."

Qi Shuoyu's eyes turned red and he turned to look at Si Yan on the city wall. He had underestimated this woman after all!

Qi Shuoyu drew the sword from his waist and said to Tao Zai beside him, "General Tao, kill Peng Yu, and the position of leader of the Suzaku Sect will be yours."

Tao Zai was a die-hard supporter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He drew his sword and pointed it at Peng Yu: "General Peng, you better think carefully about who you should support!"

Tao Zai has worked hard over the years, and half of the guards at the Suzaku Gate are his men.

The brothers under his command are all die-hard fans of Prince Xin's party. It is still unclear who will win today!

The defenders on the tower of Suzaku Gate immediately split into two groups, and they aimed their bows and arrows at the brothers they lived with day and night.

Peng Yu was an experienced veteran, and at this moment he stared deeply at the defending soldiers opposite him.

"Your Majesty is still in the palace, and you dare to rebel against him? Don't you want your family anymore?"

Tao Zai said coldly, "Who is General Peng trying to scare? If Prince Yong dies today, the world will belong to Prince Xin."

Tao Zai finished speaking and ordered his men, "Shoot! Kill Si Yan and Prince Yong! You will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future."

Si Yan and Qi Ziyu are the important people. As long as they die, Peng Yu will naturally lose his temper.

"Protect Lord Si Yan and His Royal Highness Prince Yong." Peng Yu gave a loud order.

There was chaos on the city wall, and people from both sides started fighting fiercely.

Si Yan stood in front of Qi Ziyu and blocked the arrows that flew towards him from time to time.

"Peng Yu, you traitor!" Qi Shuoyu was so angry that he glared at Peng Yu with gritted teeth.

Peng Yu said coldly, "I am your majesty's subject. It is my duty to guard the Suzaku Gate and maintain the peace of the Imperial Palace."

Qi Shuoyu was so angry that he bit his lips. Fortunately, he did not trust Peng Yu completely. He also placed a lot of people under Tao Zai and sneaked into the Suzaku Gate.

These people are enough to kill Si Yan and Qi Ziyu.

Qi Shuoyu ordered his men, "Keep shooting arrows for me! Shoot Si Yan and Qi Ziyu to death!"

Several arrows shot towards Si Yan and Qi Ziyu. Si Yan stood in front of Qi Ziyu and waved his dagger to block them.

Qi Ziyu pulled Si Yan behind him, and together they blocked the endless arrows from the soldiers on the city wall.

Peng Yu raised his sword high and said solemnly, "Brothers, protect Prince Yong and Lord Si Yan at the risk of your life!"

There were loud shouts and cries of killing from the city wall. Ling Mohan, who had already gathered guards outside to protect the capital, heard the noise and immediately rushed towards the palace gate.

When Peng Yu's men on the city wall saw that it was Ling Mohan, they immediately ordered the soldiers below to open the palace gate.

Outside, Ling Mohan led his men to attack violently, and inside, the two groups of people at the palace gate fought again. In the end, Peng Yu's men opened the palace gate.

In an instant, the guards from Shangjing City rushed in from the palace gate and surrounded Qi Ziyu and Si Yan.

Qi Shuoyu on the city wall was in a panic. Seeing that his plan was failing, he was about to run away.

Si Yan's eyes swept towards Qi Shuoyu's figure: "Your Highness, please wait here for a moment. I will go and capture Prince Chen."
