It was late at night, and the capital city, which should have been quiet, was shrouded in murderous intent.

Song Qianfan rode a fast horse to the imperial city and joined forces with the deputy commander of the imperial guards Yu Ting to take control of the imperial city. He then led his men to the harem, intending to kill the queen and concubines first.

As long as the queen died, it would be confirmed that Princess Jinyang and the King of Han in the capital were conspiring to rebel, and he could then go to Huaizhou to get troops.

But when he and Yu Ting arrived, the entire palace was empty. There was no sign of the empress, and not a single concubine in the harem was found.

Song Qianfan was so angry that his eyes were blazing with anger. He had his men capture the palace maids and torture them severely.

Many palace servants were afraid of death and confessed after just a few words: The queen noticed something strange about the palace guards and had already hidden herself with many of her female relatives, but no one knew where she hid.

At this time, someone from outside came to report that not long ago, the Queen had ordered all the women from the generals' houses in various mansions in the capital to be invited into the palace in the name of reminiscing about the past, but no one was found in Prince Han's mansion. Prince Han was nowhere to be found, and all their people were disappointed.

A whole night passed, and many palace servants who had turned against the Empress helped to search for her in the imperial city, but they could not find the Empress. They also had no idea where the secret passage and secret room where the Empress was hiding were. They were like headless flies, bumping around everywhere.

Song Qianfan's eyes were slightly angry, "Haven't you found anyone yet?"

"No." Yu Ting's eyes were dark. For the whole night, he and his men searched everywhere in the palace. They searched the entire imperial city and all the places where people could hide, but they still couldn't find the queen, let alone any secret room or secret passage.

I looked at Song Qianfan, my eyes no longer decisive, and said in a deep voice, "Hang'er, his father is a man of steel, and his father is also a loyal and righteous man. If he dies, his father will go up and compensate him."

Song Qianhang laughed warmly and waved his hand. Then two people came back with the tied up Song Qianfan, with a knife placed under his neck.

Yang Huan's eyes were restrained, as if he was making a decision.

"Shut up!" King Jing's face turned pale. "Whether the Dingbei Army rebels or not is none of his business! Even if he really gets the heaven, he will bear the infamy of the people in heaven!"

Prince Jing: "I will personally kill this rebellious son."

Upon hearing this, Princess Jing ran over to stop them and grabbed her husband, trying to let him go. Her eyes flickered, "Your Highness, Fan'er did that for him. Now that things have come to that point, we can only succeed or fail. This is your own son!"

Song Qianhang smiled evilly, "They do have a deep father-son relationship."

Yang Huanqi looked mockingly, "Brother?"

I took the knife and put it under Yang Huanqi's neck. I looked at Prince Jing and said, "Father, do you have any patience? If he tells me where the entrance to the secret passage in the palace is, you will kill me first."

Song Qianfan's tightly pursed lips moved, "Mother, I haven't made any mistakes yet, you are helping the tyrant."

I stood in the courtyard and watched with eager eyes.

Song Qianfan curved the corners of his bloody mouth and said, "My son is afraid of death."

With a "slap!", King Jing slapped his wife. My eyes were red. "You really didn't expect that the wife I have slept with for decades is actually a venomous snake!"

Yang Huanqi was covered in wounds, and looked at Song Qianhang with hot eyes, "He even treated my father like that, is he still a human being?"

But before I raised my sword, the men in front of Song Qianhang came down, and Ba Liang knocked the sword out of King Jing's hand and controlled him.

Yu Ting looked at Song Qianhang. Things had come to that point and there was no way they could stop.

Just then, Song Qianhang and his men came out from inside, his voice cold and cold, "Who does father want to kill?"

At this time, an older palace servant nearby said, "Perhaps the Prince Jing knows the entrance to the tunnel."

"If father is willing to tell you, I'm afraid you and your brother will die there today."

Song Qianhang laughed and took the knife from his subordinate. "Father, I'd better tell you where the entrance to the secret passage in the palace is. Otherwise, don't blame me for being cruel today."

Only then did Prince Jing realize that as a father, he had never truly understood the son behind him, and now he knew my true ambitions.

What the son said doesn't make sense. If the emperor has no children, he has to choose someone to adopt, but he has never considered his own brother who has the same mother and father as him. How can this make people feel heartbroken?

Suddenly they looked at each other, Princess Jing felt guilty and turned her eyes away, "Your Majesty, I am also wholeheartedly doing this for him."

At this time, Prince Jing and his wife had not yet learned that their son had joined forces with Yu Ting to rebel. Prince Jing was so angry that he almost fainted. He picked up the sword he had used when he was younger and rushed inside!

"As long as you succeed, you will be the one writing the history books in heaven. You got the heaven by force of nature. When will it go against the trend?"

Princess Jing, who was standing by, shook her husband's arm and urged him, "Your Highness, just tell Fan'er. We are all family, why make such a fuss over someone else!"

"The emperor is kind to you. He can put him under house arrest today, but there is no guarantee that he will kill you tomorrow!"

"As long as Fan'er and Ting'er succeed, he is not the emperor, and you are not the emperor"

"Today you must kill that rebellious son and give an explanation to the people in heaven!"

The blade flashed cold light twice, but Prince Jing did not have any intention of advancing or retreating. He was confused at the moment. The reason why his son could still come to see him was because of this tunnel in the palace that could hide people.

Even Princess Jing was stunned, "Fan'er, what is he doing? That's his father and his brother!"

Prince Jing looked at his wife in disbelief, "He already knew what that rebellious son was thinking?"

After I gave the order, I took my people out of the palace and went to Prince Jing's Mansion.

If successful, her husband would be able to ascend the throne, and she would be the emperor in heaven.

If we lose, our whole family will die. The emperor today is no longer the empress. She was able to confine my husband today, but tomorrow the knife will fall on us.

Princess Jing slowed down, "Your Majesty! What is he going to do!?"

"I know what the secret is. If he still cares about the relationship between father and son, you can persuade him to stop as soon as possible. He can still turn back."

Yang Huanqi came up behind me, his cold eyes slightly angry, "Father, why can't you adopt the son of the Dingbei Army rebel as your own son, but treat you as a rebellious son?"

That was something my husband dared to do, but my son did it for me. So as a father, there is no reason for me to stop my son.

When Prince Jing saw Song Qianhang, his blood boiled. He immediately drew out his sword and threw away the scabbard, "Rebellious son! I will personally deal with him today!"

Half of Princess Jing's face was red and swollen, which showed that the slap was not strong enough.

"We are both rebelling, why are you the one who can rebel?!"

"I don't deserve it!"

As for me, the palace maids prostrated myself on the ground. No one had expected that Prince Jing would rebel. I also knew whether the person behind me was Prince Jing or myself.

I clenched the sword tightly in my hand, and was so angry that I couldn't even breathe.

Yang Huan's pupils suddenly contracted, "When did he become like that?!"

Song Qianhang said in a deep voice, "He's watching from outside, he can let even a bug out of the palace!"
