"What does this have to do with her!"
The third prince was filled with anger and stared at Xiao Pingyue.
Xiao Pingyue smiled and said, "You don't know yet, do you? Your tricks of poisoning the emperor, digging tunnels, and burying explosives were all exposed by Ruyi?"
"You lost to her."
He had received a letter from the capital, so he knew everything that happened here. "You thought she was your prey, but you didn't know that you had been stripped naked by her."
“…”
The third prince was trembling all over, with his brows furrowed.
But he still refused to accept it. “But, the state banquet hall still exploded today, and the damned people still died.”
He stared at Xiao Pingyue, hoping that he could win.
But Xiao Pingyue smiled when he heard this. "Your people wanted to use the ritual for the prince to create a stir in the palace, and she helped you. You wanted to blow up the state banquet hall, and she helped you too."
"But," Xiao Pingyue changed the subject, "the sounds of singing and dancing coming from the state banquet hall are just illusions. There is nothing there."
"Tonight's state banquet will be held in the Queen's bedroom."
The third prince's eyes widened in astonishment, and he finally couldn't hold it in any longer, "What did you say?"
"Do you remember the thing that Prince Yan took out from Tianxia Building before?"
Xiao Pingyue explained to him, "Tonight, all the noises in the state banquet hall came from that place."
"And your secret passage has long been discovered by Ruyi, and Cao Ru has long been arrested. Only you naively think you can win, and only Cao Zhizhang thinks everything is under control."
"You framed Mu Yuandao and General Yao. Do you think no one knows about this?"
"Tonight, it's over for both you and the Cao family."
“…”
In the raging cold wind, the Third Prince's passion completely cooled down, and he clenched his fists and trembled all over.
What Xiao Pingyue said was like a blow to him.
How happy he was the moment before, how devastated he is now.
No matter how much he planned, he never expected that he would fall into Ruyi's hands!
When he was in Yancheng, he even thought that it would be best if Ruyi died with the emperor this time. If she didn't die, he could take her as his concubine.
When the time is right, just get rid of her.
But I didn’t expect…
Suddenly there were shouts and screams in the city.
Xiao Pingyue glanced at him coldly, raised his hand and issued an order, "Encircle and suppress the rioters, kill them!"
The Yancheng army poured into the capital like a tide.
The third prince was tied to the back of a horse and witnessed his private soldiers being defeated step by step and attacked from all sides, and then he became a turtle in a jar.
At the gate of the palace, General Yao, Rong Yan and others all appeared, and even Mu Yuandao stood in front on horseback.
The third prince froze all over, realizing that he had been plotting against the emperor, but the emperor had outwitted him and lured him out of his hole, and was going to catch him all in one fell swoop!
Such a cruel method...
It must be his father!
The third prince felt cold all over and stared at the scene blankly, his mind going blank.
The state banquet is over.
The ministers were all stunned. They had no idea what was going on. A mutiny had already ended.
Ruyi accompanied the emperor to the palace wall, looked at the scene of fighting outside, and sighed softly, "Everything is over."
"Yeah, it's over."
The emperor's face was expressionless, but his complex tone was mixed with deep pain. "My princes also studied with Master Yikong. Although they are not Buddhist disciples, they have listened to his teachings."
"Of course, wisdom is not something that everyone possesses."
"That wisdom is like a meteor streaking across the deep sky. It just flashes by in the eyes of many people, and they feel surprised. But they will not think more deeply about it."
"Some of them have been blinded by desire."
In the dark night, he turned and looked at Ruyi, "Ruyi, you and Rong Yan can't do this."
Ruyi nodded, "I will remember the emperor's teachings."
As he was speaking, someone suddenly rose from the ground and stabbed the emperor with a sword, "Even if I die, I will take you with me!"
Seeing that he was about to fail, he became obsessed.
Ruyi drew his sword, and the sword light like water cut through his body. His body broke apart like a puppet, and blood splattered everywhere.
It was Ruyi’s first time killing someone, and a feeling of nausea surged into her heart like a tide, making her vomit involuntarily.
I vomited so much that tears welled up in my eyes.
"You're very different."
The emperor patted her on the back and said, "If there is a war in the south this time, you and Rong Yan should go together."
"From now on, you must protect this vast territory as if it were your own."
Ruyi's eyes were moist with tears in them, and she nodded, "Okay."
Turning her head and looking down, the Third Prince was looking at her with murderous eyes.
And Rong Yan stood up.
He stood up from the wheelchair and walked towards the Third Prince, "Third Brother, you are too impatient."
"you!"
The third prince's eyes widened in astonishment, "You are not disabled?"
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, Third Brother," Rong Yan looked at him, "Thank you for teaching me how to behave so early. You've put so much effort into this, how can I let you down?"
"I've been sitting in a wheelchair all these years. Isn't that what you wanted?"
In the cold wind, Rong Yan's tone was flat and there was no trace of emotion.
Speaking of the life-and-death crisis in his youth, he was just talking about someone else's story. His emotions did not fluctuate at all. He just said, "I just helped my third brother."
The Third Prince: “…”
He, Concubine Duan and Cao Zhizhang plotted against Rong Yan, causing him to be seriously injured for three months, turning him from a brilliant young man into a waste. His father was afraid that Rong Yan could not bear it, so he had to send him to the Prajna Hall.
But I didn't expect that all this was just an act!
At that time, Rong Yan was so young, but he was so cunning!
Ruyi stood on the city wall, looking at this scene with some fear -
Before this, Rong Yan had always been hiding his abilities.
Suddenly standing up tonight, he...
Ruyi subconsciously glanced at the emperor.
Seeing that the emperor looked calm, he knew that the emperor had long known about Rong Yan's concealment of his abilities, and Rong Yan must have reported this to the emperor in advance.
When I thought of this, I felt a little relieved.
At this time, the third prince looked at her.
The hatred in his eyes was not concealed, “Shen Ruyi, I really didn’t expect that one day I would fall into your hands!”
"Your Highness, I am Rong Zhaoyang."
Ruyi corrected him, with no other expression on her face.
The third prince suddenly felt frustrated.
At this moment, he was under the city wall, and Ruyi was standing on the city wall. Their identities and status had been reversed.
He lowered his head and said nothing more.
Regicide, patricide, mutiny, usurpation of the throne, even if he shouted these charges at the top of his lungs, he would only end up dead in the end.
At this time, Mu Rushuang came out with Cao Ru and looked at Cao Zhizhang, "Master Cao, congratulations on your reunion."
Cao Zhizhang's eyes widened in astonishment, "You, you actually arrested him?"
That letter before...
In the letter, Cao Ru told him that everything was going well, and he would keep an eye on the tunnel. In order to prevent anyone from discovering any clues, he asked the people from the Cao family not to go to the priest's temple recently.
But what is the result?
As a result, Cao Ru had already become a prisoner!
