The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Shangguan Zhu got off the carriage in a panic and ran into Xi Garden, "Oh no, oh no, big brother!"
Shangguan Shu didn't even raise his eyelids, as if he was too lazy to look at him.
Shangguan Zhu said anxiously, "Brother, I heard from Prince Ding that Concubine Gang brought Zhao Yao into the palace and revealed Princess Chengqian's background to the emperor. She is not his biological daughter! The emperor is furious, and I'm afraid the princess is in great danger!"
Shangguan Shu's face turned pale and he asked in a very low voice, "What?"
Shangguan Zhu exaggerated the story, and Shangguan Shu was really confused after hearing it. Especially after hearing that Zhao Ying had entered the palace, he fell into the chair.
Shangguan Zhu said cryptically, "Although I am on a separate side from you, I also don't want anything to happen to the princess."
"If the princess is really sentenced to death by His Majesty, or if he beats her to death on the spot in a fit of rage... by then, it will be too late."
"Only you can save her now."
After an unknown amount of time, Shangguan Zhu walked out of the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
At the door, Hengbi was waiting for him.
"My Lord, now that you have finished speaking, does Shangguan Shu have any…"
Shangguan Zhu interrupted him, "He... fell into the trap."
"He wanted to send troops into the palace to rescue Zhao Ying, but my father found out and stopped him. But don't worry, my father couldn't stop him."
Hengbi let out a long sigh and spread his hands towards Shangguan Zhu, "Sir, please follow me into the palace immediately. The show is about to begin."
Hengbi lowered his voice, "Your Highness has already deployed 3,000 guards at Shenwu Gate. It was only thanks to the Emperor reinstating Commander Zhou Ji and ordering Your Highness to serve as Regent that Your Highness was able to mobilize the imperial guards in the capital and accomplish this great task."
Shangguan Zhu got on the carriage and said calmly, "Your Majesty is wise."
Hengbi just smiled and said nothing.
Zhao Xi was very smart, but he ruined his plans.
Capture Shangguan Shu alive?
Hengbi remembered that before Zhao Xilin entered the palace, he specifically instructed them not to kill Shangguan Shu... He couldn't help feeling a little depressed. What a good opportunity.
In an instant, Hengbi wanted to kill Shangguan Shu regardless of the consequences.
But then, he would be killed by Zhao Xi immediately.
Forget it, if Sixth Brother is not willing, he may not be able to return to his position even if he dies.
…
The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Shangguan Shu put on his armor and first went to see Shangguan Qingwan who was placed in the ice coffin, and then went to the bedroom to see Shangguan Qingyue who had not yet woken up.
The little guy is so soft and cute.
Shangguan Shu suddenly remembered his birthday that day, when the little one told him in a baby voice that they had prepared a betrothal gift for him to marry Zhao Ying.
How could he have such caring children?
He thought that was the end of his misfortune, but unexpectedly, it was just the beginning.
His eyes were sore and swollen, Shangguan Shu pushed back, stretched out his big hand and patted Shangguan Qingyue's soft belly.
"Yue'er, wait for daddy to come back..."
After Shangguan Shu finished speaking, he resolutely left. However, the moment he turned around, the little guy on the bed suddenly twitched.
Night falls quietly, cold and depressing.
Atop the high walls of Shenwu Gate, Zhou Ji stared blankly at Shangguan Shu, trapped by the imperial guards and fighting like a trapped beast. He didn't understand why Shangguan Shu would force his way into the Forbidden Palace alone. He shouted down, "Grand Master, don't be foolish! Go back quickly!"
Shangguan Shu ignored him, brandishing his spear, fighting alone against the many with unparalleled bravery. The fighting below intensified, flames shooting into the sky, forcing Zhou Ji to scratch his head. He ordered the guards upstairs to draw their bows to intimidate Shangguan Shu, then said in horror, "You stay here and guard. I will go to see His Majesty!"
As he spoke, the man had already run far away, actually escaped.
Shangguan Shu is so crazy that if anything happens, he will not be able to bear the consequences. He has been immersed in officialdom for many years and understands it best.
Only Hengbi, Qianchengluo and Shangguanzhu are left.
Qian Chengluo harbored ill intentions, "Master Shangguan, do you intend to rebel and assassinate the Emperor?"
Shangguan Shu looked up at the sound, holding the reins and spear, his eyes stern. After a while, he curled his lips and sneered, his voice hoarse and shrill, "Give me back my princess!"
Shangguan Zhu said, "Brother, if you continue to be stubborn, don't blame His Royal Highness Prince Ding for being merciless!"
"Prince Ding? Oh, if my princess is a bastard, then wouldn't His Highness Prince Ding be afraid that if the city gates catch fire, everyone in the pond will be affected?"
Qian Chengluo interrupted, "Don't waste any more time talking to him. Since he broke into the Shenwu Gate by force, he should be captured alive for treason and brought before His Majesty!"
"Get started!"
The three thousand guards looked at each other, not daring to take action. Seeing this, Qian Chengluo shouted, "Are you guys going to rebel too?!"
A captain of the imperial guards below said helplessly, "Excuse me, General!"
The guards showed no mercy and killed with every blow of their swords. However, Shangguan Shu's skills allowed him to carve out a bloody path!
Hengbi watched the scene solemnly, seeing that Shangguan Shu was quickly injured, with blood all over his body and face, but his eyes were cruel and crazy.
Yes, crazy.
His sixth brother would go crazy whenever he got involved with that woman.
After all these years, she is still a nuisance!
No wonder my father...
Hengbi smiled sarcastically.
Beside him, Qian Chengluo couldn't help but admire, "It's worthy of being the Wall of Great Chu... What a pity, if he was willing to serve the prince, he wouldn't..."
Neither of them noticed Shangguan Zhu, who had been silent the entire time.
Shangguan Zhu didn't know when a longbow appeared in his hand.
He stared at Shangguan Shu below, then slowly raised his bow and arrow towards him.
As if sensing something, Shangguan Shu, who was fighting, suddenly raised his head and looked at him.
It was far away and dim.
Shangguan Zhu's ears were empty.
There was only encouragement in Shangguan Shu's eyes.
Shangguan Zhu closed his eyes tightly, his jaw tensed, and the veins all over his body bulged.
Suddenly, his fingertips loosened.
The sharp arrow shot downwards and broke through the air.
"Shangguan Zhu!"
Hengbi and Qianchengluo discovered it too late. They stood there in shock, yelled, and then hurriedly looked down.
In an instant, everything seemed to slow down.
Until... the man closed his eyes and greeted her calmly.
The sharp arrow pierced through the chest...
It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone looked at this scene in disbelief.
Shangguan Shu fell off his horse and fell to the ground.
Qian Chengluo roared in horror, "Shangguan Zhu, what are you doing?! Are you crazy?!"
Shangguan Zhu seemed to have lost his soul. He stared at the man on the ground, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably. But he gritted his teeth and said, "Killing him is the best way for the prince to eradicate the problem completely."
Hengbi was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. Although he wanted his sixth brother to return to his position, he still felt heartbroken seeing him like this.
He said hatefully, "Shangguan Zhu, he is your biological brother!"
"So what?"
So what...
Shangguan Shu fell to the ground and suddenly vomited blood. He looked at the bright white moon with a dazed and affectionate gaze.
Ying'er, I may not be able to attend your birthday this year.
This is the birthday gift I give you, are you happy?
When we were young, you never cared about the gifts I carefully prepared for you.
This time, it won’t happen.
Shangguan Shu closed his eyes, and a tear slid down the corner of his eye.
