Mu Yangrun watched helplessly as Bai Tuantuan took his hand and pressed it down.
If everything was indeed Mu Yangwei's plan, then once these letters were sent out, he would be completely finished!
Meanwhile, on their way back, the Emperor and his entourage were attacked, but all of this was under Ning Nanxiao's control. He even carefully managed the situation, leaving several survivors.
When the emperor came out after the interrogation, his face was extremely dark.
Without saying a word, he simply ordered them to set off!
Inside the carriage, Ning Chengzhu looked at the emperor, who had his eyes closed, and turned to ask, "Nanxiao, who are those people?"
"People sent by the Third Prince."
Ning Nanxiao didn't hide anything, and as soon as he said this, the people in the carriage gasped.
The imperial physician lowered his head, pretending to be asleep; this was not something anyone could hear.
Eunuch Cai's face turned deathly pale: "The Third Prince is foolish! How could he do such a thing! Why didn't the Crown Prince stop him?"
“The Crown Prince has been imprisoned by the Third Prince, and now the entire court is under the Third Prince’s control.” Ning Nanxiao sighed and said slowly, “News has come from the capital that the Bai family and the Chen family have both been placed under the Third Prince’s guards.”
"How could the Third Prince have such great power?"
"Her Majesty the Empress is helping from behind."
Ning Nanxiao paused for a moment before continuing, "And then there's the Pingwang Mansion. Mu Xiangyang has been imprisoned, and his fate is unknown."
"This, this..." Eunuch Cai said anxiously, "What should we do?"
"Tuantuan and her two grandfathers have arrived in the capital. They will try to rescue the person."
Ning Nanxiao's words relieved Eunuch Cai: "Oh dear, how did it turn out like this..."
The group hurried along and finally arrived outside the capital on the sixth day.
Meanwhile, outside the capital, all was solemn. Even Eunuch Cai sensed something was amiss: "Your Majesty, at this hour, it should be the time for the people to enter the city. Why is there not a single person at the gate?"
The Emperor lifted the curtain, glanced outside, and then paused for a moment before saying, "Nanxiao, enter the city."
"yes."
As the carriage entered the imperial city, everyone tensed up, and all the surrounding shops closed their doors.
Ning Chengzhu frowned and looked at Ning Nanxiao, saying, "Are you sure you've made all the arrangements? If anything goes wrong, our family can't afford to pay for it!"
Ning Nanxiao chuckled as he looked at Ning Chengzhu's nervous expression: "Father can be nervous?"
Ning Chengzhu raised an eyebrow: "If I die, I die, but the Emperor cannot be harmed. If something happens to the Emperor, then the Sheng Ning Kingdom is probably finished!"
As Ning Chengzhu finished speaking, footsteps suddenly sounded!
"rush!"
With a loud shout, the crowd rushed toward the carriage!
"Prince Ping!" Ning Chengzhu stepped out of the carriage and shouted angrily, "What do you mean by this!"
Prince Ping looked at Ning Chengzhu triumphantly and laughed loudly: "Now the palace is under the control of the Third Prince. Brother, I advise you to hurry up and write the edict of succession. They are all your sons, so it doesn't matter who sits on the throne. What do you say?"
The emperor inside the carriage was so angry that his chest heaved. Just as he was about to say something, another troop of soldiers rushed over.
"Prince Ping, the Third Prince has ordered: kill them on the spot!"
"You scoundrel!" Ning Chengzhu roared, "Does the Third Prince intend to rebel?!"
"Shut up!" Prince Ping looked coldly at Ning Chengzhu. "The Third Prince is ridding the people of a scourge! The Crown Prince is mediocre; how can he be a ruler!"
For a moment, Ning Chengzhu and Prince Ping started arguing, talking about everything from when the prince was three years old until now, until Prince Ping was speechless: "Tell me, how mediocre is the Crown Prince! If the Crown Prince is mediocre, then the Third Prince is a fool!"
"How dare you!"
"What audacity!" Ning Chengzhu knocked the thrusting sword to the ground and took a step forward. "When I was fighting enemies outside, you were still in your mother's womb! You dare point a sword at me? You think you can?"
The soldier was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
Upon seeing this, Eunuch Cai couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The Emperor stopped hiding and stepped forward: "I want to see how Mu Yangrun plans to rebel!"
"I'm making this clear: the heir apparent of Sheng Ning Kingdom will only be the Crown Prince! Anyone else would be committing a rebellion! Without a legitimate claim, anyone could take his place!"
Upon hearing this, King Ping and the others were taken aback, and then visibly panicked.
"Absurd! I think you've lost your mind! Guards! Seize this imposter of the emperor! Execute him on the spot!"
The surrounding soldiers rushed over quickly and surrounded the emperor and his entourage. However, neither Ning Nanxiao nor the emperor showed any anxiety or panic on their faces.
Prince Ping and the others exchanged glances, feeling that something was amiss. However, the arrival of the Third Prince's troops brought Prince Ping a sigh of relief.
"Now, you have no chance to escape!"
"Hahaha, Ning Nanxiao! Ning Chengzhu, you are doomed! Hahahaha!" Prince Ping laughed loudly.
Ning Nanxiao glanced at the sky and said calmly, "It's time."
On the second floor of Erdong Restaurant, Bai Tuantuan looked at Mu Yangrun, who was sweating profusely, and the Empress, who was about to faint, and chuckled: "What's wrong? This is just the beginning!"
Immediately afterwards, Mu Yangrun saw his men appear one after another, mocking the emperor and his entourage.
He wanted to break free, but with Bai Tuantuan around, how could he let her have her way?
"No rush, there's still plenty of time!"
Bai Tuantuan glanced down and met Ning Nanxiao's gaze.
"Stop! Release the Emperor! How dare you!"
Bai Han and Chen Luo rushed over quickly, shouting angrily, "You insolent scoundrels! This is the Emperor! What do you think you're doing!"
"Bai Han!" Prince Ping called out indifferently, "I think you're getting senile. Now that you're no longer an official in the court, you naturally don't know that there are some mysterious people who specialize in impersonating members of the royal family. This emperor is an imposter! The real emperor is long dead!"
"Nonsense!" Bai Han frowned and said, word by word, "You said someone is impersonating a member of the royal family, so are you impersonating one too?"
"Hmph! Of course I'm telling the truth!"
"Where's the evidence?"
King Ping sneered: "The generals and ministers present are all evidence against me."
"Then I can prove that this is the real Emperor!"
"You think you can take me?" King Ping sneered.
"And us too!"
As Mu Yangwei's voice rang out, everyone looked over and saw Mu Yangwei, the Bai family, and the Chen family slowly approaching, followed by the Imperial Guards, the Zhenguo Army, the Siping Army, and so on!
A large crowd marched over, and Prince Ping and his men gasped!
How could this be!
How could these troops be here?!
"I say, Prince Ping, you really don't take us seriously!" Mu Yangzhi slowly walked out, holding Mu Yangrun in his hand, followed by Bai Tuantuan and the Empress.
"Come on, it's time to settle the score."
