Fu Heng and Xiao Jingyan were locked in a fierce battle with assassins in the mountains. Fu Heng's swordsmanship was sharp, and each strike carried a sharp whistling sound. As they fought, he shouted to Xiao Jingyan, "Jingyan, these assassins are well-trained. We can't afford to linger in this battle. We must break through their defenses as quickly as possible!"

Xiao Jingyan responded: "Brother Fu Heng, I understand, but they are so stubborn that it's hard to escape!"

At this moment, Fu Heng discovered that there was a slight weakness in the killers' encirclement. He shouted, "Jingyan, charge over there!"

The two men tried their best and finally fought their way out and continued to rush towards the valley.

In the palace, Zhen Huan and An Lingrong anxiously awaited news. An Lingrong said to Zhen Huan, "Empress Dowager, I don't know what's going on with Fu Heng and Xiao Jingyan. I'm always worried."

Zhen Huan held her hand. "Huan'er, don't panic. We just need to be well prepared on our side. Is everything going well over there, Tang Ying?"

An Lingrong said, "Tang promised to act according to the plan, hoping to deceive the prince. However, the prince is extremely cunning, and I am afraid he will not be easily fooled."

Lingxi paced back and forth, muttering, "Brother Fuheng will definitely be able to defeat those bad guys. He's so powerful!"

Anarchun pondered aside and suddenly said, "Old Buddha, Queen Mother An, I think we can set up some traps in the palace just in case the prince really attacks."

Zhen Huan's eyes lit up. "This is a very good plan, Concubine Chun. However, it will take time to set up the mechanism, and we must not let anyone in the palace notice it, so as not to cause panic."

An Lingrong said, "We can have some trusted craftsmen from the Imperial Household Department do it quietly, and then tell others that they are repairing the palace."

Zhen Huan nodded: "Let's do it."

Fu Heng and Xiao Jingyan finally arrived at the valley. They saw it filled with military supplies and some soldiers guarding it. Fu Heng said to Xiao Jingyan, "Jingyan, let's sneak over there and catch them by surprise."

Xiao Jingyan nodded, and the two of them approached cautiously with their confidants. When they were close enough, Fu Heng gave an order, and everyone rushed out quickly.

The guards were horrified and took up arms in rebellion. Fu Heng, like a dragon emerging from the sea, instantly knocked down several soldiers and shouted, "If you surrender, you can avoid death!"

Some soldiers began to waver and laid down their weapons. But a few diehards still resisted stubbornly. Xiao Jingyan shouted, "Brother Fuheng, these people are stubborn and unyielding. No mercy!"

After a fierce battle, Fu Heng and Xiao Jingyan finally took control of the military in the valley. Fu Heng breathed a sigh of relief: "Jingyan, we have finally taken control of the situation temporarily, but we still need to notify the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager An as soon as possible so that they can be prepared."

Xiao Jingyan said, "Brother Fuheng, I will send someone back to the palace to report the news."

Meanwhile, back at the Prince's residence, the Prince also received news that Fu Heng and his men were heading for the valley. His face darkened, "Hmph! I didn't expect them to act so quickly. However, I have a backup plan. Pass the order down, act as planned, and march towards the palace tonight!"

His favorite concubine said worriedly, "Your Highness, isn't this too risky?"

The prince glared at her and said, "You are too soft-hearted! I have been planning this for a long time and I am determined to succeed!"

In the palace, Zhen Huan and An Lingrong received news from Fu Heng. Just as they were relieved, they learned that the prince was going to take action in advance. Zhen Huan's expression was grim: "This prince is really not giving up. Huan'er, it seems we have to prepare for a fierce battle!"

An Lingrong's eyes were firm. "Don't be afraid, Empress Dowager. We have guards, traps, and Fu Heng and his men outside the palace to coordinate. We will definitely make sure the prince never returns!"

Lingxi also clenched her fists: "Yes, let them know how powerful we are!"

The entire palace is filled with a tense fighting atmosphere, and all forces are making final preparations for the upcoming decisive battle. Will Zhen Huan and An Lingrong successfully protect the harem, or will the prince succeed in usurping the throne? Everything will be decided in this thrilling confrontation.
