The emperor, however, showed no fear at all, and looked at Prince Duan with a smile, as if to say "If you have the ability, go ahead and stab him! If you fail to kill him, you are incompetent."
Prince Duan became angry and stabbed the emperor in the chest with his sword.
The strange thing was that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't penetrate it, and he was immediately shocked.
"You're wearing gold silk soft armor?"
The emperor smiled faintly: "You have some vision."
Prince Duan put down his sword, his face grim: "You are despicable and shameless, did you know that I am coming to force you to abdicate?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old Protector of the Country walked in and said, "Your Majesty! All the rebels have been captured, regardless of the dead or wounded."
"Good! The old Protector of the Country is still strong and vigorous, and he is worthy of being the Protector of the Country of Dongsheng."
The Queen was surprised when she heard this, but Prince Duan suddenly turned around and looked at the old Duke of Protectorate.
His eyes were red and he couldn't believe it. "What did you say? My people were captured by you? How is that possible? How is that possible?"
The emperor snorted coldly: "Nothing is impossible. Kong Shaoyuan of the Imperial City Department is my man, and the Duke of Huguo Mansion is also my man. With just the people you brought, only 5,000 men, isn't it normal for them to be captured?
You thought you had the Imperial City Department and the Imperial Guards under your control, but in fact, I had already taken them back. Moreover, the old Duke of the Protectorate brought the Chu Family Army from the suburban camp to protect you. The drama you performed today was really not good enough. "
If Prince Duan had used explosives, he might not have a chance of winning. Without the explosives, it would be like removing the most powerful weapon in his hand and cutting off the biggest threat.
"The Chu family? People from the camp outside the capital?"
Prince Duan almost thought he was seeing a ghost. Wasn't Chu Zhinan waiting for his order in the camp outside the capital? Why did the Chu family's troops from the camp outside the capital appear in the palace?
Could it be that the Duke of Protectorate was pretending to obey him but actually disobeying him?
emperor:"......"
You finally understood it, you are not stupid.
Chu Xiaoxiao held the bottle of milk and did not dare to go to her grandfather, fearing that Prince Duan would do something reckless. Her mission was to save the lives of the emperor and the prince. Her grandfather drank the spiritual spring water and was in good health. With weapons in his hands, he would definitely be able to protect himself.
Naituanzi opened her eyes wide and stole a glance at the old Duke of Protector of the Country. The eyes of the two met in the air and she blinked several times slyly.
The old Protector of the Country felt very touched. Although his granddaughter was young, just over a year old, she was very capable and courageous. Even though there were shouts of killing outside and the smell of blood was overwhelming, she was not afraid at all.
She even smiled at him. As expected of a member of the Chu family, she was calm, cool and smart.
"Yes!" The emperor sat down leisurely, looked at Prince Duan, and explained, "The Duke of the Protectorate is guarding outside the camp outside the capital, waiting for your orders. This is just a deception.
In fact, the people from the suburban camp had already entered the palace, but you probably didn't know that yet? There was a secret passage in the palace that led directly to the suburban camp where the Chu family was stationed.
This was a safe passage left by our ancestors in the past, the purpose of which was to prevent someone from forcing the emperor to abdicate and to leave a way for the royal family to escape. The old Duke of the Protectorate had always known about this secret passage, and he led his men into the palace through it.
The Lord Protector of the Country is staying there to give you the illusion that everything is normal in the camp outside the capital."
Prince Duan's face was livid, and sweat was pouring down his forehead. He suddenly remembered that everything went too smoothly tonight. He had always thought that God was helping him, but he didn't expect that he had fallen into the emperor's trap.
No wonder the people from the Imperial City Bureau opened the city gate so quickly. There were almost no obstacles on the way, and five thousand troops entered the palace smoothly.
He originally thought that he could catch the emperor off guard, but he ended up being caught in a jar.
"You knew long ago that I was going to force the king to abdicate?"
The veins on Prince Duan's forehead suddenly bulged, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked murderous, like a devil.
The emperor was not afraid either, and met his gaze without any fear.
"Of course I know. After I learned that I was ill and that the Queen Mother had plotted against me, I knew this day would eventually come.
Back then, you were ambitious and wanted to take my position, but I, out of consideration for our brotherly love, demoted you to your fiefdom.
I thought you should know my intentions, but you didn't stop, and you became even worse. I've given up, so what about my brothers? For my own benefit, I can sell anything.
Li Sifan is the son of you and Concubine Li, right? I know everything. I let them do whatever they want in order to eliminate you."
When he said the last sentence, the emperor looked at Chu Xiaoxiao apologetically. When he said he let them do whatever they wanted, he was referring to the fact that Concubine Li took her away.
Although the little ancestor is young and very efficient, Prince Duan would never have dreamed that his explosives were detonated by a baby who was just over one year old.
“Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha!” Prince Duan laughed arrogantly, “Eliminate me? Are you worthy? If I were so easy to eliminate, I wouldn’t have returned to the capital so easily.”
He still has one last trump card, and it's still unclear who will eliminate whom.
"Oh?" The emperor immediately became interested. "Do you have any tricks up your sleeve? Unfortunately, you are all alone now. Even if you have any tricks, you can't use them.
All your people have been arrested, and you are the only one left. Do you want to force the emperor to abdicate? That's just wishful thinking."
The queen felt that what the emperor said made sense. He was the only one alive, and the others had been arrested and imprisoned. What right did he have to be so rampant?
Li Sizu's concern was always on Chu Xiaoxiao. When he saw her smiling at the old Protector of the Country, he also smiled foolishly. As long as he saw that she was fine, he was happy.
The old Protector of the Country stood aside, watching Prince Duan's every move, and occasionally glanced at his well-behaved granddaughter. He was a little puzzled that he had not heard her voice since she came home.
Why is my granddaughter not talking in her heart? Is she tired?
This damn Prince Duan, why is he talking so much nonsense? Can he finish it quickly? Can't you see that his granddaughter is so sleepy?
"Humph! That's because you are ignorant." Prince Duan smiled evilly and suddenly picked up Chu Xiaoxiao from the ground. "As long as I have her in my hand, no one can hurt me in the slightest."
The little kid who was about to doze off was suddenly picked up with his feet dangling in the air. He was very unhappy and rolled his eyes at Prince Duan.
【Idiot! 】
The emperor suddenly found it funny when he heard the little ancestor cursing, and gave her a thumbs up.
In Prince Duan's eyes, the thumbs-up was directed at him and the emperor was looking down on him.
"What? You don't believe what I said?" Prince Duan's eyes widened with anger. "I promised the Duke of Huguo that as long as the matter is accomplished, the Chu family will become a king of a different surname. I will make this child the Princess of Lingxian County."
The emperor stopped smiling and narrowed his eyes. Princess Lingxian? Did he also know about the little ancestor's magical powers?
Before he could figure it out, Prince Duan stabbed Chu Xiaoxiao's chest with his sword, laughed wildly, and roared at the emperor: "Go to hell!"
The emperor exclaimed, "No, stop it! You beast!"
The old Duke of Protectorate was so frightened that he had no reaction at all. It was as if he was under a spell of immobilization, his mind was wandering and he had no reaction at all.
Li Sizu rushed towards Prince Duan, vowing to protect his sister Xiaoxiao to the death.
