As soon as I put it on, I met a sickly man

In the cell, broken pieces of tables and chairs were scattered all over the floor, and the air was filled with the smell of sweat and blood.

General Lin and Yingfeng stood back to back, both with scars on their bodies, but their eyes were still as sharp as an eagle.

In front of them, more than a dozen guards were lying in a mess, groaning one after another.

Xiaoxuan snuggled up to Ding Chen tightly, her face pale, but she tried to remain calm.

The noise outside was getting closer and closer, surging like a tide. The deafening shouts and cries of killing were mixed with the clanging sounds of weapons clashing.

Ding Chen's heart was beating violently. He held Xiaoxuan's hand tightly, giving her silent comfort.

"Kill! Don't leave any alive!" A loud voice exploded like thunder, carrying an awe-inspiring and inviolable majesty.

The prison door was suddenly pushed open, and a team of royal guards wearing golden armor rushed in. The leader was the commander of the royal guards. His eyes were like torches, sweeping across the entire room, and finally fell on Ding Chen and others.

Almost at the same time, Prince Zhao and a group of people also arrived at the prison door.

His face turned pale as he pointed at Ding Chen and the others and shouted, "Your Majesty! I have witnessed with my own eyes that these people are plotting a rebellion. Please investigate!"

The emperor, dressed in a dragon robe, walked into the cell surrounded by a crowd of people. His eyes were deep and unfathomable.

Looking at the chaotic scene before him, he asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

Prince Zhao immediately exaggerated the incident and distorted the whole story, putting all the blame on Ding Chen and others.

Ding Chen and others naturally argued with reason, and both sides held their own opinions, making it difficult for the emperor to distinguish the truth from the false.

At this moment, Ying Feng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stepped forward, took out a package from his arms, and slowly opened it...

"Wait a minute!" His deep voice echoed in the cell. "Your Highness, you should recognize this thing, right?"

The package in Yingfeng's hand unfolded layer by layer, revealing letters and pieces of blood-stained cloth inside.

The letter clearly revealed Prince Zhao's collusion with the rebels, and every word and sentence revealed a conspiracy.

Those pieces of cloth were secret orders written by Prince Zhao himself, and they were stamped with his personal seal.

The air seemed to freeze, everyone held their breath, their eyes focused on the evidence.

Prince Zhao's face turned pale and his body began to tremble uncontrollably. His lips moved, but no sound came out.

The emperor took the evidence and looked at it carefully, his expression becoming increasingly gloomy the more he looked.

He threw the evidence to the ground and roared, "Prince Zhao, what else do you have to say!" Prince Zhao collapsed to the ground with empty eyes. His carefully planned conspiracy was completely shattered.

The commander of the imperial guards immediately stepped forward and tied Prince Zhao up.

The prince who was once so arrogant now looks like a stray dog ​​with no dignity at all.

"Ding Chen, Xiaoxuan, General Lin, I have wronged you!" There was a hint of guilt in the emperor's tone, "I will reward you handsomely to make up for my mistake." Ding Chen bowed and said, "Your Majesty, we dare not take credit for it. We only ask that Your Majesty allow us to live a peaceful life." The emperor readily agreed: "Approved! I will give you thousands of acres of fertile land and ten thousand taels of gold. From now on, you can enjoy peace." Ding Chen thanked him again, but there was no ripple in his heart.

What he wanted was never these material things.

Xiaoxuan looked at Ding Chen, a strange light flashing in her eyes...

Xiaoxuan excitedly threw herself into Ding Chen's arms, her vision blurred by tears, and she choked and said, "We are finally free!" Ding Chen hugged her tightly, stroked her hair, and comforted her softly, "It's okay, everything is over." General Lin looked at the two of them and smiled with relief. He patted Yingfeng on the shoulder and said, "It's time for us to have a good rest." Yingfeng nodded, and a hint of imperceptible tenderness flashed in his deep eyes.

However, just when everyone thought that everything was settled, something unexpected happened.

Several of Prince Zhao's trusted guards took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness and suddenly attacked. They drew out hidden daggers and rushed towards Ding Chen and others with roars.

In a flash, Ying Feng flashed and stood in front of Ding Chen and Xiao Xuan. With a flash of cold light in his hand, several guards fell to the ground.

General Lin showed no sign of weakness, he drew his sword and engaged in a fierce battle with the remaining guards.

Upon seeing this, the commander of the Royal Guards immediately ordered his soldiers to surround the rebels, and a melee broke out in the cell.

The flashing of swords and the shouting of killing shook the sky, and the ground was stained red with blood.

In the end, under the strong suppression of the Imperial Guards, the rebellion was completely quelled, and the remaining forces of Prince Zhao were wiped out.

After experiencing this storm, Ding Chen and Xiaoxuan cherished each other more. They stayed away from the disputes in the court and lived a peaceful life on the fertile land rewarded by the emperor.

General Lin and Yingfeng also often came to visit them, and the four of them drank and talked about life.

The sun shines on them, and everything seems so beautiful and peaceful.

Ding Chen and Xiaoxuan were enjoying the rare tranquility in their own garden, with the breeze blowing and the fragrance of flowers filling the air.

Xiaoxuan snuggled in Ding Chen's arms, and the two whispered to each other, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with them.

Suddenly, a carrier pigeon fell from the sky and landed on Ding Chen's shoulder...
