I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded

At the same time, in Prince Yong’s Mansion.

King Yong was wearing armor and sitting in the main seat in the conference hall. His face was gloomy and his eyes were shining with ambition.

He held an exquisite jade cup in his hand. The scarlet wine in the cup was like blood, emitting an enchanting glow.

"Is the news reliable? Did Prince Yan really succeed?" Prince Yong's voice was low, with a hint of suppressed excitement.

Below, a man in black knelt on one knee and reported respectfully, "Your Highness, it is absolutely true. News has spread from the palace that the emperor has been assassinated and his life or death is unknown. Prince Yan has taken control of the situation."

"Okay!" King Yong smashed the jade cup in his hand to the ground, making a crisp sound of shattering. The wine splashed everywhere, staining the ground red.

He stood up suddenly, his eyes burning with fire: "This is a God-given opportunity! I have waited too long for this day!"

He suddenly drew the sword from his waist, pointed the tip of the sword towards the palace, and shouted sternly: "Pass the order, all troops assemble, follow me into the palace to defend the king, kill the traitor, and support the country!"

"Yes, sir!" Below, all the soldiers responded in unison, their voices shaking the roof tiles.

The gates of Prince Yong's Palace were opened wide, and countless soldiers in armor poured out like a tide, full of murderous intent, heading straight for the palace.

Prince Yong rode a tall horse and walked at the front of the team. He was full of pride and ambition, as if he had already seen the moment when he would ascend the throne and rule the world.

A sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth, and he thought to himself: Prince Yan, ah Prince Yan, do you think you have won? The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. After all, the Song Dynasty will belong to me!

However, he didn't know that all this was under the control of the emperor.

The emperor deliberately released the news of Prince Yan's success in order to lure out the snake and catch Prince Yong in one fell swoop.

Prince Yong led his army into the palace, but found it silent, completely different from the chaotic scene he had imagined.

He felt a little uneasy in his heart, but the arrow was on the string and had to be shot, so he could only bite the bullet and move forward.

When he led his army to the Qianqing Palace, he found that the palace gate was closed and the surroundings were quiet, without a sound.

"What's going on? Why is the palace so quiet?" Prince Yong frowned, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.

He was about to give the order to force the palace gate, but he heard a burst of hearty laughter coming from inside the palace gate.

"Prince Yong, you've come just in time. I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

The palace gate slowly opened, and the emperor, wearing a dragon robe and holding a sword, stood majestically in front of the palace gate. Behind him stood countless royal guards in armor, each of them in high spirits and full of murderous intent.

Prince Yong's face suddenly changed. He realized that he had fallen into the trap set by the emperor. He did not come to help the king, but walked into the trap himself!

"Your Majesty...you..." Prince Yong's voice trembled, and his eyes were filled with fear and despair.

The emperor sneered, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes: "Prince Yong, you are ambitious and have coveted the throne for a long time. Today, I will make you give up completely!"

The emperor's gaze was like a sword, sweeping across Prince Yong and the terrified soldiers behind him. His cold voice resounded through the night sky: "Capture him!"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the Royal Guards rushed down the mountain like a tiger and pounced on the rebel army of Prince Yong.

The sound of swords clashing and screams instantly resounded outside the Qianqing Palace.

Prince Yong's face was pale and his legs were weak. He drew his sword and wanted to make a final resistance, but was instantly subdued by the imperial guards who swarmed over him.

His sword fell to the ground with a crisp sound, just like the sound of his ambition being shattered.

The battle ended quickly and Prince Yong and his followers were all captured.

The emperor slowly walked up to Prince Yong and looked down at him, his eyes filled with undisguised disappointment and anger. "Prince Yong, I've treated you well. Why are you so ambitious?"

Prince Yong slumped on the ground, his face ashen. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

The emperor snorted coldly, no longer looking at him, and turned around and ordered: "All these rebels will be taken to the Sky Prison and await their punishment!"

"Yes, your Majesty!" The soldiers responded in unison and dragged Prince Yong and others away.

It was late at night and the palace was filled with the smell of blood.

The emperor rubbed his brows tiredly and instructed Sheng Hong, who was standing beside him, "My dear Sheng, please stay and help me deal with the subsequent matters."

He looked at Sheng Changfeng and Lin Changze again: "Changfeng, Changze, you also stay and assist Master Sheng."

"I obey your order." Sheng Hong, Sheng Changfeng and Lin Changze bowed and accepted the order.

The emperor sighed and softened his tone, "Today's events are all thanks to you. It's getting late, so please stay in the palace."

Sheng Hong and the others bowed again: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Shengfu.

Wang Ruofu was restless, pacing back and forth in the room, looking out the window from time to time with a frown on her face.

The flickering candlelight stretched her shadow long, making her look even more anxious.

"It's already so late, why hasn't the master come back yet?" Wang Ruofu asked anxiously, her voice trembling a little.

"Lin Qinshuang is not at the Princess's residence either. What happened in the palace?"

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became, and her heart beat faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.

Sheng Changbai sat on a chair, holding a book in his hands, but he couldn't concentrate at all. He put the book down, walked to Wang Ruofu, and comforted her softly: "Mother, don't worry, Father, Changfeng, and Changze are all in the palace, and the princess is also here. Everything will be fine."

Wang Ruofu grabbed Sheng Changbai's hand as if it were a lifeline: "But I'm always panicking. I always feel like something big is going to happen."

She paused, her eyes brightening. "Changbai, why don't you go to the Qi Mansion and look for Heng'er? His mother, Princess Pingning, grew up in the palace. Perhaps she knows something."

Sheng Changbai nodded: "Okay, I'll go right away."

Just as he was about to turn around and go out, he heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

A man who looked like a eunuch hurried into the room, holding a letter in his hand, and breathlessly reported: "Madam, there is news from the palace. Master Sheng asked me to bring you a letter."

Wang Ruofu hurriedly took the letter and unfolded it. It contained only a few words: "Your Majesty and I are discussing matters. It's late at night and I can't return home. Please don't worry."

Wang Ruofu's tense nerves relaxed a little, but the doubts in her heart were not completely eliminated.

"Discussing matters? What is taking so long?" she muttered to herself, her brows still furrowed.

Sheng Changbai took the letter, read it carefully, and after a moment's silence, he analyzed: "Since father asked the eunuch to bring back a message, I believe everything is fine for now. Mother, please rest assured. Perhaps the situation is more complicated than we thought."

Wang Ruofu sighed and sat back in her chair helplessly, her eyes filled with worry. "Forget it, we can only wait until dawn."
