Chapter 445 Night Attack

At midnight, the people in the capital had already fallen asleep.

Now the number of soldiers guarding the gates of the capital has increased more than four times, with a guard post every three steps, and the gates are guarded tightly.

Suddenly, a strange fragrance wafted over, and before they could react, the soldiers defending the city began to fall to the ground one by one. Soon, all the soldiers defending the city fell to the ground unconscious.

The gates of the capital were quietly opened, and teams of soldiers took advantage of the night to quietly enter the city and head towards the imperial city.

Xuanyuan Che never imagined that Yuan Qifeng and Huo Lixiu would launch an attack in the middle of the night and break through the city gate without any soldiers. While he was still asleep, the sharp blade was already across his neck.

He just couldn't figure it out. The gates of the capital were not only heavily guarded, but also guarded by a lot of soldiers. Even if Yuan Qifeng and his men attacked in the middle of the night, there would be some noise, right?

But there was no movement.

Tens of thousands of soldiers quietly entered the city and the palace. It was not until he was captured and saw the palace servants and guards lying unconscious in the Dongcui Palace that he realized that he had been captured.

Xuanyuan Che was the crown prince, so Yuan Ziyu and the others did not make things difficult for him. They just took him to the Qinzheng Hall.

At this time, Emperor Wen of Qi had also been brought to the Qinzheng Hall. Father and son exchanged a glance, both smiling bitterly. Knowing that there was no hope, they couldn't help but feel desolate. Emperor Wen of Qi regretted his decision even more. If he had known this would happen, he should have been more decisive. What evidence should he have obtained? He should have simply ordered the confiscation of the Yuan family's property and their execution, and none of this would have happened.

Thinking of this, Emperor Wen of Qi stared fiercely at Yuan Qifeng and the others, with a look that seemed to wish he could torture them to death.

Yuan Ziyu looked at the cruel eyes of Emperor Wen of Qi and sneered in her heart. Even though she would not take Emperor Wen of Qi's life for the sake of the Queen Mother and Princess Linyang, she would not let him off easily either. His good days were still to come.

Yuan Ziyu did not make things difficult for the Empress Dowager, Empress Xuan and Princess Linyang. He simply asked someone to invite them to the Qinzheng Hall.

Seeing the unharmed Emperor Wen of Qi, the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief and said to Yuan Ziyou gratefully, "Thank you, Yuan family girl."

Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind."

The Queen Mother smiled and shook her head: "Don't call me that anymore."

The Queen Mother sighed inwardly. She had lived in the harem all her life. Although she was not involved in state affairs, she was very knowledgeable. In their current situation, if they could keep their lives and be imprisoned for life, it would be the best outcome.

"That's not my decision." Upon hearing this, Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "The Queen Mother has always been kind to others. Perhaps she is blessed with great fortune."

"Hmph." Xuanyuan Che snorted coldly, "Second Miss Yuan, don't act like a spoiled brat. Just give us what you want to do with us."

Huo Xi took a step forward, blocking Yuan Ziyou behind him, and looked at Xuanyuan Che coldly: "How to deal with you depends on the will of the new emperor."

Xuanyuan Che was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "No wonder you guys suddenly started a rebellion in the middle of the night. It turns out you've made a decision."

After that, he said contemptuously: "Tell me, who will sit in that position? You, your father, or Yuan Qifeng? You are not going to push out a queen, are you? Aren't you afraid that you can't sit firmly in this position?"

After saying that, Xuanyuan Che looked at Huo Xifei with disdain as a corner of her dress was exposed from behind.

Huo Xifei looked at Xuanyuan Che coldly: "Xuanyuan Che, no matter who the new emperor is, he will be better than you and your son. One is selfish and suspicious, and the other is despicable and dark."

"You...what did you say?" Xuanyuan Che asked angrily, gritting his teeth.

"I used to really think that you would be a good emperor in the future, but now it seems that I was wrong. Your father's previous actions could be considered as indirectly doing a good thing, and it could be considered as saving the people of our Dali Dynasty from future suffering. Don't think that no one will know about the things you did until they are exposed." Huo Xifei said with a sneer.

"You..." Xuanyuan Che was secretly shocked when he heard this, but he said angrily, "Huo Xifei, I don't know what you are talking about. Aren't you just saying this to elevate yourselves?"

Huo Xifei didn't bother arguing with Xuanyuan Che and simply said, "I've already released the civilians you secretly imprisoned. Don't assume others don't understand your intentions. Aren't you just planning to use the lives of these civilians to threaten us? As the crown prince, you disregarded the lives of the people for your own protection. You truly are the good son of Emperor Wen of Qi!"

"Hmph, that's right. Do you really think that you can secure the throne by sitting like this?" Yuan Ziyu leaned out from behind Huo Xifei and looked at Xuanyuan Che with disdain.

Xuanyuan Che and Xuan Shaoqing are really worlds apart.

"Che'er, you..." The Queen Mother and Queen Xuan did not expect Xuanyuan Che to do this, and they were both surprised.

"You are simply making things up." Xuanyuan Che refused to admit it.

"You dare to do it but not to admit it. You have really no manners." Yuan Ziyu looked down on Xuanyuan Che even more.

"You..." Xuanyuan Che wanted to scold Yuan Ziyu, but when he saw the look in Huo Xifei's eyes, he unconsciously backed down. Now he was just a prisoner, so he naturally knew how to know the situation. Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Che bit his lip unwillingly and turned his head to the side.

Emperor Wen of Qi had been a prisoner for nearly a month. His anger towards Yuan Ziyu and his group grew day by day, but he was helpless. This feeling made him suffer.

Seeing Xuanyuan Che's frustration, he snorted coldly, "How good are you? You were pretending to be sincere before, but now your true colors have been revealed. Humph, don't say that I wronged you in the first place."

Yuan Ziyou retorted sarcastically, "Do you think everyone is like you, only thinking about that position?"

"You haven't thought about it?" Emperor Wen of Qi sneered. "Then let me see, where is the new emperor? I don't believe it. You worked so hard to besiege the city first, and then forced the emperor to abdicate. Are you willing to give away what you have earned? Tell me, who is the new emperor?"

Before Emperor Wen of Qi finished speaking, a voice came from outside the palace: "It's me!"
