Chapter 854: Try touching me?

The Queen left with Prince Hui and Prince Ji, and Liang Guangyi brought Min An and others with him. Before leaving, only Wang Huailu, Duan Zhiru and three others were left to guard the Yongzhao Palace.

Before leaving, Prince Hui repeatedly instructed them to guard Yongzhao Palace and Qian Qiyue and others, and to protect Princess Hui and others. He also handed over all the remaining people to them for deployment.

After Prince Hui had given his instructions and left with the Queen, Duan Zhiru and the other two had angry expressions on their faces.

"We were the first to discuss this with Prince Hui, and it was us who captured Cen Guang and helped Prince Hui seize power, but now all the benefits have been taken away by Liang Guangyi, Min An and the others."

"Yes, they were too timid to take this step before. If we hadn't found a way to force them, King Hui would probably be helpless until now. It's us who have put so much thought into planning for King Hui that have led to this day, but King Hui actually refused to take us to Xinde Palace!"

In their view, after tonight, King Hui had already accomplished a great thing. Following him to Xinde Palace was just like rewarding the new emperor according to his merits after he ascended the throne. Liang Guangyi and others could all be "rewarded" for their "merit in following the emperor", but they, the first few meritorious officials who followed King Hui to discuss matters with him, were left aside.

How can they accept this!

Wang Huailu saw the indignation of the three people and his expression became even more dissatisfied. He quickly pulled Duan Zhiru and said, "Master Duan, don't be impulsive."

"This is a critical moment. The Queen and the Prince are giving their power to assist in governing the country, not forcibly seizing it. You and Lord Min and the others should not appear in the capital openly. If you go to Xinde Palace at this time, it will only give the Prince a bad reputation, which will not be good for the three of you."

"Besides, things may not go smoothly at Xinde Palace. The prince asked you to stay with me at Yongzhao Palace because he values us and wants us to guard the prince and his men's retreat. He wouldn't have entrusted you with anything except someone he absolutely trusts."

Wang Huailu's words were very pleasing to the ear. He said to the three people:

"The prince is not an ungrateful person. He will not forget your contributions. When the prince gains power, he will definitely reward you according to your merits and will not treat you unfairly."

Duan Zhiru and the other two thought about it and felt that what he said made some sense. They were the ones who helped King Hui to form an alliance with the aristocratic families so that he could be where he is today. King Hui couldn't just give them no rewards. The dissatisfaction on the three people's faces dissipated a little. Min San was about to scold the people around him to guard the inside and outside of Yongzhao Palace, but when he looked up, he saw Qian Qiyue looking at them with sarcasm.

Min San was not a good-tempered person, and he shouted coldly: "What are you looking at?"

Qian Qiyue: "Of course it's a dog-eat-dog situation."

"You haven't even got the throne yet, and you're already thinking about dividing the spoils. It's true that a greedy master will bring out greedy dogs. It's really hilarious to watch."

"you!"

Min San became furious when he heard her sarcasm, and Duan Zhiru also looked cold when he was called a dog.

"Miss Qian still has the same hot temper as before, but now is different from the past. The Queen has given up power, and the Qian family is afraid that things will not be as good as before. It would be better for Miss Qian to change her temper. My prince will not tolerate those who do not follow the rules."

"Heh, a traitor dares to talk about the rules. With his idiotic appearance, he will never be able to compete with His Majesty and His Majesty in his lifetime."

Qian Qiyue's mouth is as sharp as ever, and she is still very rude even when she is under someone's control.

"The aristocratic family has been craving power for years. Emperor Taizu wanted to abolish him. Your Majesty and the Empress finally suppressed him, but he was so foolish as to conspire with these locusts to rebel. If the ancestors of the Xie family knew they had such a foolish descendant, I'm afraid even the lid of their coffins would not be able to hold him down. Even if their bones turned into powder, they would crawl out in the night to find this fool."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Duan Zhiru and the others.

"And you guys, do you really think you're following some good guy?"

"King Hui is vying for power with the tiger's skin. If he can't hold on to the throne, he won't be able to give you lackeys any benefits. If he does, he will immediately kill those of you who know how he came to power. If you want to be a loyal follower of the dragon, I'm afraid you'll get the reward but not the life to enjoy it!"

"you!!"

Duan Zhiru and the other two were so upset that their faces turned pale after being scolded. The few close confidants who stayed in Prince Hui's mansion also had ugly expressions when they heard these provocative words.

Min San impulsively wanted to step forward and take action.

Qian Qiyue was full of provocation: "What, you want to fight because you can't win the argument? Come on, I'll beat you to death!"

"Qian Qiyue!!" Min San was so angry that his veins were popping out: "Do you really think I dare not touch you?!"

Marquis Wenxin's wife moved aside to block the way, grabbed the rebellious Qian Qiyue, and faced them face to face: "You really don't dare to move!"

Seeing Min An's eyes red with anger, she said in a cold voice:

"The Empress made it very clear before she left. If we get in the way, everyone in Yongzhao Palace will be buried with us."

"Prince Hui has not yet ascended the throne, and the world is still under his control. If you dare to touch us today, Prince Hui will never gain power. I dare not say what will happen to the Qian family, but I can guarantee that my husband, Marquis Yongxin, will send troops to the capital to make Prince Hui's rule uneasy!"

Duan Zhiru and the other two were startled by what the wife of Marquis Wenxin said, and the next moment they flew into a rage. They wanted to go up and kill the three women in front of them, but when they looked at the palace guards who were guarding the front of the palace and watching them covetously, as well as the Crown Prince's wife and others who had been sent into the palace and disappeared without a trace.

No matter how angry they were, the three of them didn't dare to move an inch.

The queen was too strong-willed. When they surrounded the Yongzhao Palace, she refused to retreat. Even the princes had no choice but to send the princess and the crown prince's wife into the palace as "hostages" in exchange for the queen's concession.

They didn't dare to gamble at all. If they really hurt the three women in front of them, the people left by the queen would kill the princess and others to vent their anger. What's more, there were also Wenxin Hou and others. If they really fought to the death, King Hui would not be able to withstand it at all.

Duan Zhiru endured and endured, finally suppressing his anger, but he was still unwilling and said to Qian Qiyue with a sinister look in his heart:

"Miss Qian, you're quite good with your words, but I advise you to be more virtuous with your words. Don't offend someone you shouldn't offend just for the sake of momentary pleasure. You're not the only one in the Qian family..."

Upon hearing this, Qian Qiyue sarcastically said, "The Qian family is not just me. There is another clan in Lingnan. What's the matter? If you have the guts, why don't you ask King Hui to order the confiscation of the Qian family?"

Duan Zhiru froze with a gloomy expression.

Qian Qiyue sneered, "The Empress has only ceded half of her power, and the noble families still have to share the other half. Do you really think Prince Hui is the emperor? Before the border war ends, your useless prince couldn't even touch my father, and you still want to touch the Qian family?"

"And you guys, if you hadn't taken advantage of the Empress Dowager's accident and deceived me under the pretext of the palace, I would have beaten you half to death. You still dare to threaten me? Why don't you try to touch the Qian family?"
