The palace was so quiet in the early morning. Fang Yao and the others were not there, and it was the time when my father was least prepared.

He would have his accomplice capture his father, knock him out with drugs, and hide him behind the Empress Dowager's Buddhist temple.

There was a tall altar, tightly enclosed by golden curtains. He had once stayed inside for three days without being noticed. Hiding his father inside, sleeping, no one would have guessed.

What to do next?

He also had to arrange men outside, and when he entered the palace, he would besiege the residences of several important officials in the name of the Second Prince.

At that time, he would also take his father's token and order people to open the palace gate and let in another group of people.

He would tell everyone that Queen Yao and the family of Duke Chongguo were colluding with each other to rebel, that Queen Yao had been captured by him, and that his father's whereabouts were unknown.

What a perfect time and place!

My second brother has been looking for people everywhere like crazy recently because of the Queen's matter. If others don't help him, he will say harsh words.

Saying too many harsh words will attract hatred.

At this time, "Second Brother" besieged the minister's mansion. Who would not believe him when he heard him say that Second Brother and Queen Yao were rebelling together?

Even if the second brother doesn't admit it, others will kill Xiao Haoze. Who would want to leave such a trouble for themselves?

......

Everything was calm.

The third prince's men came back to report at dusk, saying that they saw Fang Yao leave the palace early and rush back to the mansion.

Mu Heng is not on duty tonight, which means that the only person who will be by my father's side is Fu Lizhang.

Then there is no need to worry too much. After all, Fu Lizhang could not have imagined that there was someone in the palace who would be his accomplice, Xiao Shuze. When he was knocked down, he might not even understand what happened.

Early in the morning.

The man carrying the golden juice entered the palace.

Xiao Shuze brought a group of people and quietly hid under the carriage frame. As the carriage moved slowly, they slowly entered the palace.

He hid under the carriage, closed his eyes, and quietly felt the speed of the carriage.

At this time, Fu Lizhang and the others should have been knocked down, right?

After all, who could have imagined that this would happen today?

The emperor was almost knocked unconscious by the medicine. He had even specifically instructed his men to use a larger dose and tie up the emperor tightly and gag him to prevent him from waking up and causing trouble.

I almost forgot one thing. Queen Yao is still in the cold palace. We must quickly send someone to kill her to avoid any future troubles.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped.

Have you arrived at the place agreed upon with your subordinates?

Xiao Shuze lay quietly under the car, listening to the movements above.

"Third Prince, come out."

It was Fu Lizhang's voice.

Xiao Shuze's heart suddenly rose to his throat and his mind went blank for a moment.

Before he could react, a black ball emitting smoke was thrown under the car. The thick smoke quickly dissipated, and in the blink of an eye he could no longer open his eyes.

A violent coughing sound came from under the car, and several men in black clothes rolled to the ground from under the car, and then were surrounded by people with swords at their backs.

Xiao Shuze held his breath. The black smoke choked his eyes and made them hurt, tears welling up in his eyes.

His hands loosened and he fell from under the car.

Before he could react, a sword was pressed against his throat.

He blinked hard, the smoke gradually dissipated, the pain disappeared, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Fu Lizhang's cold face in front of him.

I moved my eyes to the night sky. There was no moon tonight, but it was filled with stars.

He had heard his mother say that every star in the sky represented a person on earth. He didn't know which one belonged to his mother, nor did he know whether his mother would see him being captured at this moment.

The people who arrested him were sent by my father.

Mother, do you ever regret entering the palace? Did you ever imagine that your son would die within these deep palace walls?

......

In the city.

In the dark night, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves, which sounded like thousands of troops galloping, followed by the sound of swords fighting.

People woke up from their sleep in terror, and as the children were about to cry, their mouths were covered.

People in the city hardly slept all night.

When it was bright outside, someone peeked out and saw that it was quiet outside, as if nothing had happened.

The people started another busy day.

People passing by the Prime Minister's Mansion, the General's Mansion, the Duke of Wei's Mansion and the Marquis of Guanyong's Mansion would slow down and look at the wet ground in surprise. It was clearly not raining, so where did so much water come from?

Some people with sharp eyes and careful minds saw the red bloodstains at the intersection, and their eyes widened in surprise, frightened to death.

Fang Yao had a fruitful harvest last night.

Not only did they capture all of the Third Prince's men in one fell swoop, but they also seized a stronghold of the Western Qiang that had been hidden in the capital of the Great Zhou for decades.

The emperor did not attend the morning court today, but summoned the old prime minister and Marquis Guanyong into the palace.

Before noon, the decree was secretly issued.

Give the third prince Xiao Shuze a cup of poisoned wine and execute him immediately.

The emperor didn't even want to see his son and looked very calm.

However, when he heard that the crisis in Mizhou was resolved and that Yuan Zhilin of the Duke of Wei had contributed to it, he couldn't help but feel that he wanted to confer the title of Crown Prince on that boy.

The emperor did not mention a word about what kind of reward Xiao Chenze should be given for his secret trip to Mizhou and his great achievement.

At this time, Shen Li and Xiao Chenze had already brought Miergan to Xiqiang.

Miergan has been in poor health since he drank the medicine by mistake. He wakes up intermittently and then falls asleep again.

Perhaps he knew that he would not live long, so he remained silent along the way.

When they arrived at Xiqiang, Shen Li told Xiao Chenze that it would be best to kill him near the palace gate. Miergan struggled hard and begged, "Can you send a letter to my mother and ask her... ask her... "

What do you think of my mother?

He doesn't know anymore.

Shen Li and Xiao Chenze said coldly at the same time, "No."

Completely dispelled all his thoughts.

Shen Li could not feel the slightest bit of mercy towards this brutal man who cut open a pregnant woman's belly.

When Xiao Chenze thought of his grandfather who died on the battlefield, he wanted to completely wipe out the Beidi.

......

The weather was fine. Outside the palace gate of Xiqiang, people were busy entering the palace to celebrate the birth of the eldest prince's wife and the birth of a grandson.

Suddenly there was a loud bang, as if a thunder exploded in the sky, or even more like a meteorite falling. A sack fell from the sky and landed among the crowd outside the palace.

The patrolling soldiers rushed over.

The crowd was about to gather forward when suddenly someone saw blood slowly flowing out from the bottom of the sack and a head falling out of the mouth of the sack, and cried out in surprise.

"Murder, oh my god, murder."

The soldiers hurriedly kept the crowd outside, and some people shouted, "Protect the emperor, protect the emperor," and ran into the palace quickly.

Xiao Chenze stood in front of the clouds in space, looking at the scene below, quietly, without saying a word.

After learning from Mizhou that the third prince was the son of the eldest princess of Xiqiang, he became silent.

Fortunately, Shen Li is also a quiet person. The two of them traveled together and stayed together in the space for such a long time without feeling any discomfort.
