She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

"We can't alert the enemy and ruin the Emperor's plan. If we act now, we might kill a few people, but we'll also be exposed. How many can you guys handle?"

"What the Crown Princess said is true. It was my fault that I was reckless."

Xia Yu continued to guard the cave entrance.

Yu Yuanzheng was no longer sleepy.

She sat quietly on the stone bench, feeling uneasy. She had no idea what was happening outside.

The enemy quietly climbed up the cliff, but they were unable to pass on the message.

"Princess Consort, don't worry, nothing will happen. The Emperor and the others have been waiting for these people to take action and have made all the preparations." Chun Lei saw Yu Yuanzheng's serious expression and comforted her softly.

"I hope so." Yu Yuanzheng responded in a low voice, but his eyes were still fixed on the cave entrance.

Time slowly slipped to the beginning of the Yin hour.

The emperor was awakened by the eunuch, changed his clothes, and prepared to go to Yunding Peak to watch the sunrise.

The best time to watch the sunrise in early August is between yin and Mao hours.

The group was ready to go. The emperor, along with the empress, Concubine Wan, the eldest prince, the third prince, Prince Rong, Prince Jing, and countless palace guards, headed towards Yunding Peak, the highest point of Yuntai Mountain.

Palace guards held torches to light the way ahead.

"Your Majesty, why are the other sisters not accompanying you except the Queen?" Wanpin asked softly, with a hint of doubt in her tone.

She had specifically asked about it and found out that two concubines were also there, so why didn't she see them?

"Princess Xian and Concubine Bao are not feeling well." The emperor replied calmly, looking straight ahead.

When Wanpin heard this, her heart tightened.

Is this a coincidence, or is there something else going on?

She subconsciously turned around and glanced at the Third Prince.

But he saw that he was also looking at him, and there seemed to be deep meaning in their eyes.

However, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, she dared not say much and could only follow silently.

The mountain road was rugged and everyone moved slowly.

The emperor walked steadily, but the empress and Concubine Wan were tripped by weeds from time to time, looking a little embarrassed.

The emperor is also a martial artist, but he cannot compare with Prince Rong. However, he also practiced for a long time when he was young.

Later, when he ascended the throne, he had many government affairs to deal with and endless memorials to read all day long, which made him neglect his training, but his foundation was still there.

"Your Majesty, watch your step," the Queen warned softly. She was clearly stumbling herself, yet she still cared about the Emperor.

The emperor nodded slightly, his steps still steady.

"Father, let me support you." At this time, the third prince took a few quick steps, came to the emperor and supported him.

The emperor glanced at him sideways without commenting.

The third prince just smiled slightly and held on more steadily.

The emperor said nothing and let him support him.

The eldest prince walked in front, pushing aside the weeds to clear the way for the emperor.

Both of them behaved extremely respectfully, like filial sons.

The group climbed higher and higher, getting closer and closer to the summit.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind: "There is an assassin."

Immediately afterwards, shouts of killing were heard from all directions.

Countless men in black emerged from the darkness and rushed towards the emperor and others.

The palace guards drew their weapons and fought with the men in black, but most of the palace guards had torches in their hands and had to fight the enemy, so several of them were killed in a short time.

The emperor and the prince looked at each other, and a hint of coldness flashed in their eyes.

I really caught a fish.

"Father, your sons will protect you!" The eldest prince and the third prince said in unison, standing in front and behind to protect the emperor.

"Hurry, go back to the palace." The emperor ordered decisively.

The Dragon Shadow Guards quickly formed a defensive formation, protecting the emperor and others as they slowly retreated down the mountain.

Prince Jing and Prince Rong also protected the emperor.

The Empress and Concubine Wan also stayed close to the Emperor.

However, the men in black attacked fiercely and soon broke through the first line of defense and headed straight for the emperor.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Prince Rong drew his sword. The sword light was like a rainbow, and he instantly killed several men in black, opening up a way of survival for everyone.

But before they had gone out ten feet, countless men in black rushed out from below.

Cut off their way down the mountain.

"Kill them all, leave no one alive, and avenge His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The leader of the men in black shouted loudly.

What does he mean?

But the emperor and others knew what it meant as soon as they heard it?

"It turns out that Canglan is a dog that refuses to give up. Quick, retreat upwards!" The emperor immediately gave the order.

Everyone had to change direction and retreat to the top of the mountain again.

"Your Majesty, I... I'm scared..." Wanpin staggered after him, her voice trembling.

Seeing that she was about to fall, the maid beside her quickly caught her and whispered, "My Lady, be careful."

The action was neat, but it didn't attract anyone's attention.

The queen watched coldly, her brows slightly furrowed.

She looked at the emperor again and saw that he also had a cold expression on his face and did not seem to be in a panic. He walked up at a moderate pace.

I felt a vague suspicion in my heart.

"Queen, are you afraid?" the emperor asked when he saw the queen looking at him.

"As long as the emperor is here, I have nothing to fear." The queen spoke calmly, but her eyes were deep and unfathomable.

In just this short moment, countless thoughts had already run through the queen's mind.

There was something strange about this assassination tonight.

It seems that the emperor doesn't have many guards with him.

It's a bit unusual to be chased so quickly and have no choice but to move upwards.

The sounds of fighting became more and more intense, and people kept falling down amid the flash of swords and sabers.

The torches gradually went out and the surroundings became increasingly dark.

The ping-pong sound of weapons clashing could be heard constantly, as well as the screams of wounded guards or assassins.

It was too dark to see clearly, so I had no idea how many had been killed.

"Your Majesty, please move faster." Prince Rong urged as he swung his sword to kill the man in black.

Everyone quickened their pace, rushing towards the top of the mountain. However, the man in black was always following them closely.

The number of guards is gradually decreasing.

When they walked up a few dozen feet.

At this time, a group of men in black rushed out from both sides.

The guards had fewer and fewer torches in their hands, and the light was getting dimmer and dimmer.

"Your Majesty, I will take you for a quick walk." The third prince was very perceptive at this time.

He supported the emperor and ran forward quickly.

Wanpin was also supported by her maid and walked very fast, and was able to keep up with the emperor's pace.

The Queen followed closely behind, escorted by the Crown Prince and Prince Jing.

The prince jumped up and down several times and ran in front to clear the way for the emperor.

But before they had gone far, another group of men in black rushed out.

Join the battle.

All of the Emperor's Dragon Shadow Guards have been dispatched to participate in the battle.

The group continued to move forward, but in the process, more and more people in black appeared.

The third prince and Concubine Wan always stayed close to the emperor.

The eldest prince protected the queen, and during the fight, the distance between him and the emperor became farther and farther.

There are always endless men in black around the prince, making it difficult to escape.

The emperor kept his head down and moved forward quickly.

He also held a long sword in his hand. If anyone was so blind as to rush in front of him, he could kill him with one sword.

There were ten guards following him.

They walked faster and faster, but they couldn't get rid of the man in black.

There will always be someone who breaks through the guard line.

The third prince had to let go of the emperor's hand and picked up the sword to deal with the man in black who was chasing him from behind.

Although his martial arts skills were not as good as the eldest prince's, he could still withstand the attacks of one or two people.

The few of them were getting closer and closer to Yunding Peak.

The man in black forced them all the way to the edge of the cliff.

Coincidentally, only the emperor, Concubine Wan and the third prince were forced here.

Even the emperor's Dragon Shadow Guard was entangled by the men in black and was some distance away from the emperor.

Wanpin clutched the emperor's sleeve tightly, her heart pounding.

Prince Rong, Prince Jing, and the eldest prince were dispersed by the men in black.

At this moment, Prince Rong let out a sharp whistle.

In an instant, countless men in black clothes and masks rushed out from the darkness.

As soon as he arrived, he attacked the man in black.

Surround them and then beat them up.

"Kill, leave no one alive." The leader shouted.

If Yu Yuanzheng were here, she would immediately recognize that this was her husband's voice.
