"You, are you going to rebel?!"
Prince Cheng was so frightened that he screamed, and his previous momentum was gone.
He was so frightened that his legs went weak and he could hardly hold on to the horse's back.
Seeing that Prince Cheng's men were still eager to move forward, Ye Qingshan added a little strength to his hands.
The sharp blade of the imperial sword drew a bloody mark on Prince Cheng's neck.
Prince Cheng felt a pain, and then warm blood flowed down his neck.
He didn't know the size of the wound, but he was almost scared to death by his imagination.
Prince Cheng ordered his men in a tearful voice, "Retreat! All of you, retreat!"
"Did you hear me? Do you want me to die?"
Seeing that he was so frightened, Ye Qingshan thought of the Grand Princess and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that your subordinates don't listen to you very much!
"What I hold in my hand now is the Imperial Sword bestowed upon me by the Emperor himself.
"This sword is very sharp. It would be terrible if I accidentally slipped and hurt you.
"Fortunately, when the Emperor bestowed upon me the Imperial Sword, he permitted me to execute first and report later..."
Prince Cheng had been hoping for luck before. Just like what the Grand Princess said, even if he made many mistakes, his status was still there.
As long as he puts on the airs of a prince, who among the ministers would dare to do anything to him except the emperor and the seventh prince?
Prince Cheng had already prepared himself to make a scene and throw a tantrum if all else failed.
But the Grand Princess never said that the person who came to stop her actually had the imperial sword in his hand!
If the other party really kills me in a fit of impulse, not to mention whether the emperor will punish him after he returns, wouldn’t I suffer a great loss?
The dead can never come back to life!
Prince Cheng was regretting it so much at this moment.
Although the emperor sent his other brothers to their fiefdoms.
But to be honest, the emperor is a very tolerant and kind ruler.
Not only were the fiefs given to these younger brothers quite rich, but they were also rewarded during festivals and holidays, and their freedom in the fiefs was never restricted.
Prince Cheng didn't know why he suddenly got so excited that he was tricked by the Grand Princess into coming to the capital to participate in a rebellion, which was a life-threatening thing.
Especially after being enlightened by Ye Qingshan's words just now, he suddenly realized.
After being held hostage by Ye Qingshan, all his men retreated as ordered, except for a few highly skilled guards given to him by the Grand Princess, who advanced instead of retreating.
These people seemed to be waiting for an opportunity to rescue him, but in Prince Cheng's heart, they just wanted to kill him in this remote wilderness.
When the Grand Princess handed these people to him, she spoke so nicely, saying that it was for his safety and that she wanted these skilled men to protect him closely.
But if something goes wrong, can these people take care of him at any time?
Once the seeds of doubt were planted in his heart, Prince Cheng could no longer suppress his suspicion.
No matter what those people really thought, they could no longer trust him.
Ye Qingshan achieved his goal of sowing discord, but he never expected that Prince Cheng would be so cowardly as to treat him as a life-saving straw.
Prince Cheng grabbed Ye Qingshan's arm and begged, "Don't kill me. I'll tell you everything and let you do something meritorious. Will you please spare me?"
After saying this, he didn't wait for Ye Qingshan to answer, and said: "These are all my aunt's ideas, and they really have nothing to do with me.
"I was living well in my fiefdom, but my aunt sent someone to find me, saying that she felt I was more suitable to sit on the throne.
“Her people also said that there was something wrong with the emperor’s origins and that he was suspected of confusing the royal bloodline.
"So my aunt has been planning in the capital for many years, and now it's finally time to take action. She asked me to come to the capital as soon as possible.
"After I arrived, I met my aunt. She said that as long as I was obedient, she would arrange everything for me. All I had to do was wait for today to enter the palace and ascend the throne..."
The people around were completely unprepared when they heard some words related to royal secrets, even about the emperor's life experience. Their faces turned pale with fright.
Ye Qingshan finally understood at this time why the Grand Princess had tricked Prince Cheng into coming all the way to Beijing when there were several princes who were closer to her.
Such a timid and simple-minded person is really easy to control!
It’s a pity that the Grand Princess didn’t expect that such a person would be easy to control in her hands.
Once it falls into the hands of others, the tip of the knife will immediately turn into a sharp blade to stab her.
Prince Cheng was not aware of the change in the atmosphere around him at all and was about to continue speaking.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qingshan suddenly jumped up, jumped onto his horse, and sat directly behind him.
Fortunately, he was riding a good horse, otherwise he would not have been able to withstand such a blow!
"You, you better be careful, swords and knives have no eyes!" Prince Cheng was so frightened that his voice trembled.
Ye Qingshan held the sword steadily in his hand, snatched the reins from his hand with his other hand, clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and took him to the side, then winked at his men.
Before Prince Cheng could understand what was going on, he saw Ye Qingshan's men suddenly go crazy, drawing their weapons and rushing towards the people he brought with him.
Although the few people sent by the Grand Princess were quite skilled, they were no match for those around Ye Qingshan who had actually fought on the battlefield.
It just caused a little resistance to the other party, and it was resolved soon.
Looking at his subordinates who were suddenly killed without a single survivor, Prince Cheng widened his eyes belatedly.
"You, you..." Prince Cheng was shaking like a sieve and wanted to blame Ye Qingshan, but when he thought about being alone, he swallowed the words back.
After stuttering for a long time, he finally said softly: "How can you be so cruel? Didn't they all retreat..."
Ye Qingshan couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking that they were not scared away by me, but by what you said.
But Prince Cheng had no idea that these people were suddenly silenced because he said that the emperor had a problem with his origin and confused the royal bloodline.
You know, once this word gets out, it will only cause greater trouble and bring more people to death.
The reason why Ye Qingshan ordered his men to take action against them immediately was to block the news in order to protect his own people.
But there is no need to explain these in detail to Prince Cheng.
Now that the person has finally been controlled, the big stone that has been hanging in Ye Qingshan's heart has finally fallen to the ground.
