The carefree sixth prince, my father respectfully invites me to ascend the throne.

"Heh, give up. No one here can save you!"

"You piece of trash, you dare to dream of marrying the princess? That's utterly delusional! Just surrender now!"

Upon hearing the conversation between the two siblings, the commander of the Imperial Guards spoke coldly.

Hearing his words, Yang Ling's expression darkened even more; he knew his fate was already sealed.

"Since I'm going to die anyway, you'll come to hell with me!"

His face was extremely gloomy, and the next moment a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes. He lunged directly at the Imperial Guard commander, actually trying to take him down with him.

"court death!"

The Imperial Guard commander snorted coldly upon seeing this. He was a martial artist himself, and his strength was even a notch above Yang Ling's. So when Yang Ling pounced over, he directly struck out with a palm, slamming hard into Yang Ling's body.

boom!

Yang Ling's body flew backward, smashing through the wall behind him, and he lay in the corner coughing up blood.

He felt as if his whole body had fallen apart, with several bones broken.

Upon seeing this, the commander of the Imperial Guards revealed a cold smile.

Just then, a cold voice rang out.

"Yang Ling, why are you doing this to yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Ling was taken aback at first, then turned to look.

A young man slowly walked in; it was none other than Yang Yu.

"Big...brother!"

An incredulous look appeared in Yang Ling's eyes. She couldn't understand why Yang Yu would appear here. After all, this was a forbidden area, and no one would come here normally. Moreover, all of this was too much of a coincidence.

Moreover, a memory involuntarily surfaced in his mind at this moment, a memory that made him tremble all over.

This memory occurred when he was seven years old, when he was imprisoned in the Criminal Law Pavilion by Huangfu Feng and suffered from hunger and cold every day.

Just when he was about to despair, Yang Chen appeared and rescued him.

Although it was all just his imagination, for a moment he felt that it might really be true, otherwise, why would it all be such a coincidence?

"Yang Ling, you actually know this good-for-nothing?"

At that moment, Yang Chen also entered the room.

His face was full of a mocking smile, and when he looked at Yang Ling, it was as if he were looking at prey.

A sense of humiliation rose in Yang Ling's heart. How could she have fallen to such a state? She deserved to die!

"Yang Ling, I advise you to confess honestly, otherwise, you might lose your sister's life!"

The Imperial Guard commander gave a cold laugh, then waved to several soldiers beside him to seize Yang Xue'er.

"Xue'er, run!"

Yang Ling roared and, with all his remaining strength, charged forward to shield Yang Xue'er with his own body.

The soldiers immediately rushed forward.

boom!

Yang Ling had just broken through to the Martial Master level, and was no match for those soldiers. He was instantly beaten and seriously injured.

"elder brother!"

Yang Xue'er was also terrified; she never expected to encounter such a thing.

At that moment, the commander of the Imperial Guards walked up to Yang Xue'er and extended his right hand to her.

"What...what do you want to do!"

Looking at the stubble-covered face in front of her, Yang Xue'er felt a surge of fear and instinctively took a step back.

Snapped!

However, her retreating movement enraged Yang Chen, who raised his hand and slapped Yang Xue'er across the face.

"You shameless wench, you don't know what's good for you!"

Yang Chen glared fiercely at Yang Xue'er, then coldly said, "Come with me!"

"No, you can't take my Xue'er away!"

Yang Ling stood up again, blocking Yang Xue'er's way, glaring angrily at Yang Chen in front of her.

"Yang Ling, I spared your life because of your relationship with Xue'er, otherwise you would have died today!"

"let's go!"

After saying that, Yang Chen was about to leave.

"If you dare take Xue'er away, I'll haunt you even as a ghost!" Yang Ling roared angrily.

Seeing Yang Ling's appearance, Yang Chen frowned slightly, then a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he kicked Yang Ling in the chest.

puff!

Yang Ling coughed up another mouthful of blood, his body crashing heavily to the ground as he lost consciousness.

"Brother Yang Ling!"

Seeing her brother fall into a coma, Yang Xue'er was heartbroken and cried as she hugged Yang Ling.

Seeing Yang Xue'er's appearance, the Imperial Guard commander couldn't help but sigh, then said, "Miss Xue'er, this matter has nothing to do with you. Don't meddle, otherwise..."

Yang Xue'er pursed her lips into a thin line, then took a deep breath, wiped away the tears on her face, and raised her head, stubbornly staring at Yang Chen in front of her.

"Brother Yang Chen, what do you want to do?"

Although she was scared, she still asked.

Seeing Yang Xue'er's stubborn expression, a strange light flashed in Yang Chen's eyes, and then he said calmly, "Don't worry, I won't kill you. I just want you to help me with something. If you do it well, you will still be safe and sound!"

"Would you like me to do something?"

Yang Xueer's pretty face was full of vigilance.

How could she not know Yang Chen's character? To the Yang family, they were heartless, beastly animals.

"Ok!"

Yang Chen nodded.

"what's up?"

Yang Xueer asked.

"It's very simple. You just need to cooperate in acting out a scene, and you'll find out then," Yang Chen said.

“Okay, I promise you!” Yang Xue’er said without hesitation.

"Hahaha, good, she really is my good niece!" Seeing Yang Xue'er agree, Yang Chen became excited and quickly ordered someone to fetch a set of clothes.

A moment later, Yang Chen and Yang Xue'er changed into the same outfit, and then Yang Chen left with Yang Xue'er.

Outside, the Imperial Guard commander had been waiting for some time. A wicked smile played on his lips as he cupped his hands in greeting to Yang Chen and said, "Young Master Yang, the matter is settled!"

"kindness!"

Yang Chen nodded, then said to Yang Xue'er, "Xue'er, do you believe me?"

"I believe you!" Yang Xue'er nodded emphatically.

"Then do as I say!" Yang Chen's eyes flashed with a cold light.

Hearing this, Yang Xue'er nodded, and then followed Yang Chen slowly out of the palace.

At this moment, Yang Xue'er appeared extremely nervous, and her body even trembled slightly. She could feel a bone-chilling coldness emanating from Yang Chen.

"Brother Yang Chen, where exactly are you taking me?" Yang Xue'er couldn't help but ask.

"You'll find out when you get there!" Yang Chen smiled slightly, without telling Yang Xue'er.

Just as the two were about to head to the city lord's mansion, a powerful voice suddenly entered their ears, causing Yang Chen and Yang Xue'er to stop.
