Forced love, an inescapable fate

She let the maid tidy her up, and after she finished washing, she finally tied her hair up and was just about to put on the complicated-looking jewelry for her.

But was rejected by Mu Qingli.

"Don't bother. It's in the mansion anyway. There's no place else to go."

The maid smiled and put the jewelry back.

Then help her up.

"Princess, it's time to have breakfast. When His Highness left, he specifically instructed the kitchen to make all your favorite dishes."

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingli just nodded and followed them out.

The mansion was indeed as Jiang Ci said. Except for not being able to leave the mansion, she could go anywhere else she wanted.

She wandered around the mansion aimlessly for the whole day, but didn't see Jiang Ci. She felt relieved but also worried.

Hope everything goes well.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wu Chen's eyes were bloodshot, his hair, which was always meticulously combed, was now disheveled, and his eyes were filled with hatred and madness.

Listening to the people below reporting the news, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"My lord, Princess Qingli didn't escape and was eventually intercepted by the Sixth Prince, who took her directly back to Princess Leng's residence. Su Minsheng was outside the residence at the time and seemed to have argued with the Sixth Prince for a few words before leaving in a state of despair."

Hearing this, his expression became amused, and the coldness on his face became even more intense.

"I didn't expect him to be so infatuated. That's fine, as long as he has a soft spot. Tonight we should act. We've been planning for so long, it's time to decide the outcome. The imperial concubine has succeeded. Go and tell the eldest prince that I will take him to the seat he most desires."

"Yes."

Then he gave instructions to another confidant.

"Go and bring your men to create chaos at the Princess's Mansion. Find a way to kidnap the person tonight."

"clear."

After giving the order, he closed his eyes and waited for night to fall.

He had no idea that what he thought was a sure thing had actually been exposed long ago.

Now the palace has set up a tight net, waiting for him to enter.

At this time, the entire palace was silent.

In Chengtian Palace, Emperor Jing’s face was filled with rage.

The imperial concubine knelt on the ground, trembling all over, and kowtowed continuously.

"Your Majesty, I was bewitched and deceived by Wu Chen. He was the one who gave me the muscle softening powder. It was all his idea. I have nothing to do with it. Xian'er knows nothing. This is all Wu Chen's doing. He has evil ambitions and wants to overthrow the government. Your Highness, please understand."

"Bitch, you're still quibbling even now. I never thought you'd dare to tease me like this, and even more so, have the audacity to confuse the royal bloodline. Do you think I don't know about your scandalous deeds?"

As the letters between her and Wu Chen were thrown in her face, the last glimmer of hope in her heart was shattered.

Her face was pale and she fell to the ground in despair.

It's over, it's over.

Wu Chen knew nothing about what happened in the palace. At this time, he had gathered his men and marched into the palace with the unconscious "Mu Qingli".

Two hours ago.

County Palace.

Touching the human skin mask on his face, Wan Yue looked calm.

Bai Yu was left stamping his feet anxiously.

"Wanyue, do you want to reconsider? This doesn't have to be your responsibility. Besides, it's too dangerous. I don't agree."

However, Wanyue was busy drawing her eyebrows and putting on her headdress, not paying any attention to him.

Bai Yu was anxious and turned her over, his face full of worry.

"Wanyue, be obedient. Now that you are no longer His Highness's secret guard, there is no need to take risks. Wu Chen is insidious and cunning. I am afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? My figure is very similar to yours, and I'm skilled in martial arts. Now that we've reached the final stage, you'll probably agree to this. Besides, I haven't settled my score with you yet. You used so much force when you knocked me out yesterday that my neck still hurts. Get out of here. Just looking at you makes me angry."

Bai Yu felt aggrieved.

"How dare you say that? You're actually going to abandon me and leave, Lin Wanyue. Where's your conscience? Is it that in your heart there's only the princess, and I have no place at all? Have you ever thought about what I'm going to do if you leave?"

The only response he got was Wan Yue's eye roll.

"Are you comparable to the princess?"

Bai Yu took a few steps back in disbelief, holding his chest in grief.

"So I'm being sentimental, but when I kissed you last time, you clearly said you would be responsible for me, you...you..."

Wanyue held his forehead with his hands, his face flushed red under the human skin mask.

Then he kicked him angrily.

"Get out, get out, get out now, don't get in my way."

Bai Yu continued to look pitiful.

"Wan Yue..."

In the end, Wanyue kicked him out of the room, and his ears suddenly became much quieter.

As the night deepened, a riot broke out in the Princess's Mansion and a large number of men in black rushed in. They did not want to fight and under the deliberate guidance of the Princess's Mansion guards, they successfully found their target for the night.

When another knife-handed blow came down, Wanyue cursed in her heart.

Then she pretended to be unconscious and was carried away. Before she closed her eyes, she saw Bai Yu fighting with the man in black with a sad look in his eyes. She suddenly felt that there was something wrong with her vision.

Is this pitiful look a man should have?

......

When Wu Chen's team reached the palace gate, they happened to meet Jiang Xian who was escorted by the city defense forces.

Looking at the man in front of him whom he had called uncle for nearly thirty years, he had complicated thoughts. When he knew his true identity, he was ashamed and terrified and could not accept it at all.

Until today, when he received the news that his biological father was actually planning to force the emperor to abdicate and help him take the throne, he only hesitated for a moment.

Finally, they set out with the city defense troops who came to support them until they met here.

Looking at the person in front of him, he opened his mouth, but could no longer utter the word "uncle".

Wu Chen just gave him a dark look, then said in a deep voice.

"From now on, everything will be arranged by me, you just need to follow."

Having said that, he drove his horse directly into the palace and had a smooth journey.

He had known for a long time that the imperial guards in the palace had been replaced by the city defense army, so he was not at all prepared when he entered the palace.

With a large number of troops, they arrived at Chengtian Palace unhindered.

According to their plan, Emperor Jing was already exhausted and collapsed on his bed, and all the palace maids serving in the palace had been replaced by the imperial concubine's people.

However, this is indeed what he sees now.

Behind the bright yellow gauze curtain, a person was lying faintly, breathing disorderedly.

At this time, he only brought Jiang Xian and the Minister of War who had been bribed long ago, and the three of them entered the hall together.

The imperial concubine was standing outside the bright yellow gauze curtain at this time, trembling all over and her face was pale.

However, Wu Chen thought that her appearance was because she was afraid of what they would do next to force her to abdicate.

After giving her an unpleasant look, he took out the blank imperial edict that he had prepared long ago.
