The Seventh Prince handed Xu Zhongcheng over to the guards behind him, his face turning cold: "I will go see Father Emperor in person!"
"Your Highness!"
The carriage suddenly arrived, and the curtain was lifted to reveal Princess Jiahua's face.
Princess Jiahua, enduring her wounds and gritting her teeth, got off the carriage and blocked the Seventh Prince's path. She lowered her voice and said, "Your Highness, entering the palace now is tantamount to waiting for death. The power is still in your hands. You should take the guards of the Seventh Prince's residence and leave the city immediately to join the army outside the city. As long as you are the general, the Emperor will not dare to act rashly!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhongcheng's eyes lit up: "The Seventh Prince's Consort is right!"
The Seventh Prince hesitated: "The two deputy generals are still in the palace."
Princess Jia Hua said anxiously, "If Your Highness leaves the city, the two deputy generals will have a chance to survive. Not only the Xu family, but also the Seventh Prince's family will have a chance to survive. If you enter the palace, the Emperor can capture you alive, and the more than one hundred people in the Seventh Prince's family will surely die!"
The seventh prince gritted his teeth.
"Does Your Highness still want to gamble on humanity or family ties?" Princess Jiahua wished she could knock the Seventh Prince unconscious and take him away immediately.
"If Your Highness doesn't leave, it won't just be this old minister who dies, but also many of your generals and ministers who follow you!" Xu Zhongcheng said anxiously.
Seeing that the Seventh Prince did not respond for a long time, Princess Jiahua gritted her teeth and slapped him on the cheek: "What time is it? What are you still thinking about? The officials support you, the people support you, why are you so indecisive? What kind of war god are you?"
A single slap left five handprints on the Seventh Prince's cheek.
The Third Prince frowned: "Seventh Prince's wife, what nonsense are you talking about? How dare you hit someone in public? It's all because Seventh Prince spoiled you."
"Seventh brother, a woman like that..."
Princess Jia Hua, wielding a long sword, leaped up and kicked the Third Prince to the ground, then gripped his neck with her sword.
The third prince was taken aback.
"Stop!" The Third Prince's guards rushed over.
Princess Jia Hua exerted a little force, and blood instantly appeared on the Third Prince's neck, frightening him so much that he begged for mercy repeatedly: "Don't come any closer!"
Princess Jia Hua looked at Chang Wei, the guard beside the Seventh Prince: "Take His Highness out of the city immediately, and do not look back!"
Changwei was stunned.
"Go quickly!" Princess Jia Hua roared.
"No one is allowed to leave!"
Prime Minister Yan suddenly appeared with his men and surrounded them. Princess Jia Hua tightened her grip, and the Third Prince immediately said, "Prime Minister, hurry, compromise and let the Seventh Prince leave."
"No!" Prime Minister Yan shook his head: "The Seventh Prince killed a guard in public, and the Seventh Prince's wife held the Third Prince hostage. These are all serious crimes. They must come with me to the palace to meet the Emperor!"
Princess Jia Hua sneered at the Seventh Prince, her eyes filled with disappointment, because the people brought by Prime Minister Yan were the Imperial Guards.
The Golden Guard was originally under the command of the Seventh Prince.
The Seventh Prince's eyes stung from the disappointment. He drew his long sword and swiftly fought his way out of the encirclement.
"Guards! Protect His Highness and get him out of the city at all costs!"
"yes."
Many guards emerged from all sides and surrounded the seventh prince.
A chaotic battle involving swords and spears.
Bloodshed spread.
Prime Minister Yan ordered that no one be allowed to escape.
Princess Jia Hua gave the signal, and a moment later a group of men in black appeared, protecting the Seventh Prince tightly behind them, and they fought their way out to the city gate.
"Jiahua!" the Seventh Prince shouted from behind.
Princess Jia Hua replied, "On the day Your Highness leads the army to attack the city, I will definitely come to welcome Your Highness."
She was destined never to leave.
Xu Zhongcheng looked at Princess Jiahua and said in a deep voice, "In my entire life, I have never admired a woman. Today, Princess Jiahua has made me look at her in a new light. There is hope for the Southern Frontier!"
Princess Jia Hua smiled.
"None of you will escape today!" Prime Minister Yan roared in anger.
Princess Jia Hua wasn't afraid at all, and a smile played on her lips: "You better pray that I'm still alive, otherwise, the entire Yan family will be doomed!"
"You!" Prime Minister Yan's expression changed slightly.
...
The Seventh Prince left the city smoothly. There was even a carriage waiting for him outside the city. Once he got into the carriage, the leader who came to meet him said, "A few days ago, the Princess Consort sent her subordinates to make arrangements in the city, saying that something bad was going to happen."
Changwei was somewhat surprised; "How did the Crown Princess know?"
"The Third Prince's Consort sent the young prince to our residence through someone. She also said that Prime Minister Yan came to the Third Prince's residence last night. After that, the Consort knew that something was going to happen, and she ordered her subordinates to contact General Zuo immediately to bring troops to our aid."
Changwei's eyes widened: "General Zuo is here?"
"Yes, we've been gone for three days."
The Seventh Prince frowned, and the leader continued, "Your Highness, it was the Seventh Prince's Consort who, with your token, ordered the Left General to be summoned."
"It's fortunate that the princess is a woman. If she were a man, she would surely possess extraordinary talent and might even be our rival," Changwei exclaimed, his face filled with disbelief.
"In fact, the Crown Princess had long anticipated that the Emperor would revitalize the court. She also said that His Highness is too soft-hearted and cannot bring himself to do it. He is bound by emotions and will eventually cause a great disaster. If His Highness is ruthless, the Emperor will definitely abdicate. His Highness can lead troops into the city. He only needs to find a good excuse. The Emperor is the kind of person who bullies the weak and fears the strong."
"Your Highness, the Princess Consort also instructed you that after you meet General Zuo, you must storm the city gates. Furthermore, you must not compromise with anyone or anything within the city. If you disobey, she will not live!"
Changwei knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, I beg you to lead the soldiers back into the city, so that our brothers may have a chance to survive."
The Seventh Prince pursed his lips tightly.
He never imagined that Prime Minister Yan would use Madam Yan's death to set up such a grand scheme, quietly releasing the Southern Border Emperor and taking control of the palace.
