The prince's face instantly turned extremely ugly. Today's palace banquet should have been his most glorious day, but he never expected that he would be used as a stepping stone by Xie Xianyu.
The emperor immediately asked, "What method?"
"The King of Qi happens to be training his troops in Linzhou today. If he can come to the banquet, then the Qi Mo Camp in Linzhou is the closest to the capital. If he can rush to provide emergency treatment, he will definitely be able to make it in time."
The Queen sneered, "Who doesn't know that there are troops stationed outside the capital? Now the rebels have surrounded the palace, and no one can get out. What's the difference between what you say and nonsense?"
The emperor angrily scolded the queen: "What good thing has your son done? How dare you talk like that!?"
The queen's face froze and she stood there for dear life. After all, she was the queen of a country, but the emperor actually humiliated her in public.
Xie Xianyu remained calm. "Let the Cavalry Battalion provide cover for me. I will personally lead a group of soldiers to fight our way through. If we can break through, we can report to Linzhou."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole hall fell silent for a moment.
The eldest lady and the eldest master looked even more panicked. This was dangerous. What if they died under the sword of the rebels...
The emperor looked at Xie Xianyu with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are so young, yet you have such courage and responsibility. I was right in choosing you. If you can accomplish this, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xie Xianyu turned around, walked up to Wan Ruo and whispered, "Stay here and don't go anywhere. Wait for me to come back and pick you up."
Wanruo grabbed his sleeve, still a little uneasy in her eyes: "Will you really be okay?"
He held her sweaty little hand: "Don't worry."
He turned and strode away.
The emperor immediately walked out of the palace and went up the stairs to the top floor.
The view from the top floor suddenly became wider, and one could see the situation at the palace gate.
Others followed in twos and threes, and Wanruo also hurried to the top floor.
She saw the rebels surrounding the palace gate, and her heart clenched suddenly. There was a sea of blood outside the palace gate, and the sound of fighting was endless. He was wearing a bamboo green robe, took the long sword handed to him by his men, jumped on his horse nimbly, mobilized a team, and followed him to fight out from the side door.
He had left the palace and now he couldn't see anything even from the top floor, so he could only wait for news.
Wanruo held onto the railing, her palms slightly sweating.
Although he always had his plans in mind, she still felt uneasy about such dangerous things.
I am afraid that if any one of the links goes wrong, there will be no recovery.
Perhaps because everyone had seen the tragic scene outside, they were arguing endlessly just now, but now fell into a dead silence. Even the emperor did not speak again. King Xuan knelt on the ground, not daring to move.
After waiting in dead silence for more than half an hour, I suddenly heard the thunderous sound of horse hooves coming from afar.
Wanruo looked up suddenly and saw the "Qi" flag suddenly appear at the palace gate, and countless soldiers and horses rushed into the palace.
"It's the Prince of Qi's troops!" an old minister immediately shouted, almost crying with joy, "The Prince of Qi's troops have arrived! Your Majesty! The Prince of Qi has come to rescue you!"
The emperor's old and cloudy eyes finally lit up, and he clapped his hands twice on the railing: "Good, good!"
Everyone cheered, having escaped death.
Wanruo saw at a glance the man in bamboo green brocade robe among the chaotic soldiers of King Qi. He was riding a fast horse, holding a long sword stained with blood in his hand, and he rushed into the palace gate.
She also breathed a sigh of relief and was completely relieved.
Everyone in the hall was cheering, except the queen, whose face was still grim. The prince knelt dejectedly on the ground, his red eyes full of hatred!
Soon, the King of Qi led his troops to repel the rebels, and the rebels retreated like a tide and fled out of the capital.
The King of Qi rode his horse to Ninghui Palace and bowed to the emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, I am sorry for being late in rescuing you. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
The emperor personally helped him up and said, "You've arrived just in time. Thank you for your hard work."
"This is what a son should do."
The emperor looked at his son, whom he had always ignored, and suddenly found everything about him pleasing to the eye.
In fact, when the King of Qi's troops rushed in just now, he was still worried that he would take the opportunity to kill the king and seize the throne, but he put down his weapons as soon as he came in, and only wanted to save the king, which moved him deeply.
He actually left such a responsible and capable son unused and promoted a useless piece of mud.
Xie Xianyu followed closely behind, dismounted, and stepped forward to greet him. "Your Majesty."
The emperor quickly supported him, feeling deeply moved: "Xianyu, this time it's all thanks to you. I will definitely reward you!"
Xie Xianyu retorted, "Saving the Emperor is my duty, and it's nothing special. I think if Your Majesty truly wants to reward me, why not let me personally handle this case?"
The emperor was stunned for a moment: "What case?"
"This time, the rebels attacked the capital silently and blocked the palace gate directly. I don't believe that there is no internal support." Xie Xianyu's eyes were sharp.
The emperor recovered from his panic and his expression grew even uglier. "You're right. The capital is under the rule of the emperor, and the imperial guards at the city gates are useless, allowing this group of rebels to charge in without a sound! I'm afraid someone can't hold back and wants to cause chaos!"
