"Why do you, the people from the Dark Guard Camp, arrest me? I am the son of my father. I didn't do anything wrong. Why does my father treat me like this?
You must have done this behind Father's back. Should I go to the palace and tell Father that you betrayed him and let him punish you?" The Second Prince suppressed his panic and angrily rebuked with forced composure.
My father is in a coma and cannot possibly know what I have done. The Dark Guards must have betrayed their leader and captured me.
Moreover, he had someone stationed next to his father to monitor his every move, and would notify him immediately if a stranger approached.
I didn't receive any notification today, which means my father is still in a coma. How could he possibly send out the Secret Guard Camp?
The second prince didn't know that his men had already been killed by Gao Xuankai, leaving him no chance to come back and inform the emperor.
"I advise the Second Prince not to struggle in vain. These are all orders from the master. Do you think that this is done perfectly and no one will discover it?
Let me tell you, this is all done intentionally by your master. He intended for your grandfather to act, and then catch you all in one fell swoop.
The prince's grandfather's men should be fighting with the Duke of Protector's men now. No one should be able to resist the Duke of Protector's fighting power.
Oh, did you forget to tell the prince that your mother has been banished to the cold palace?
My master is not the emperor, but His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin? Princess Jiahui's biological parents happen to be the Duke and Duchess of Huguo. What qualifications do you have to compare with the master? "Gao Xuankai said such murderous words that the Second Prince almost vomited blood.
"No, no, father would not do that. He would never hand over such an important secret guard camp to my brother. You must be provoking the relationship between me and father, so you said that." The second prince did not believe that his father would be so partial as to hand over such an important secret guard camp to Prince Jin.
“Your Majesty, please stop daydreaming and deceiving yourself.
When the master was fifteen years old, the emperor handed over the secret guard camp to the master.
Do you think that your master and the emperor don’t know that you are in cahoots with the prime minister?
"Do you think that the master and the emperor don't know that you have done something bad to the master? You are wrong. They want to give you a chance to reform and hope that you can admit your mistakes to the emperor, but you didn't. They are very disappointed in you, don't you know?" Gao Xuankai told the second prince everything, looking at him with contempt and sneer.
"I don't believe it. My father is in a coma and my brother is in the Huguo Temple. They didn't have time to inform you?
You must have staged all of this yourself to deceive me. Do you think you can fool me this way? "The Second Prince is still deceiving himself and refusing to admit that his plan has failed.
"I can testify that everything Chief Gao said is true.
The emperor is not unconscious, he is pretending to do this in order to get the prime minister to rebel as soon as possible.
The Secret Guard Battalion is indeed His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin. This was given to him by the Emperor when he was fifteen years old, with the purpose of protecting his safety. "Eunuch Shen walked in at this time, proving that what Gao Xuankai said was true.
Seeing Eunuch Shen and hearing what he said, there is nothing I don’t believe.
All of this was a trap, a trap designed specifically for him and his grandfather, with the purpose of making them rebel so that he could take the opportunity to kill them.
How much the emperor hated him, hated him for wanting to kill him on the charge of treason and let him be cursed by the people.
The second prince didn't even think about it. If he hadn't been obsessed with something that didn't belong to him, how could he have been framed? All of this was his own fault.
Until now, he has not reflected on himself and has blamed everything on the emperor and Prince Jin. He is beyond redemption.
"The Second Prince is plotting a rebellion. The master has ordered that he be imprisoned in the palace from today until the master returns to the palace to decide his fate." Gao Xuankai gave the order.
"Yes." said the secret guard.
Gao Xuankai imprisoned the second prince in the palace and parted ways with Eunuch Shen. Eunuch Shen returned to the palace, and Gao Xuankai went to help the Duke of Huguo.
The second prince arrested servants from the Prince of Jin's Mansion, the Princess's Mansion, and the Marquis of Dingbei's Mansion in the capital and took them to the prison.
The third prince and the fifth prince knew about it, and they secretly sent people to monitor the second prince's every move, waiting for the opportunity to reap the benefits.
Their people reported to them what happened tonight, and the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince were both grateful that they had found good counselors who told them to keep their troops in place and not make the same mistake as the Second Prince, otherwise they would also face death.
The people from the Princess's Mansion were taken to jail, and the Duke of Protector's family also knew about it.
Thinking of Prince Jin's instructions, they had no choice but to hold back and wait for the next task from His Royal Highness Prince Jin.
After waiting anxiously, he finally received the mission from King Jin.
After the five father and sons began to discuss how to act, the Duke of Protector quietly left the capital and headed for his military camp outside the capital.
The duty of the Duke of Protector of the State was to protect the capital and the safety of the imperial palace. His army was stationed fifty miles outside the capital, and it only took one day to arrive.
After dark, the army quietly came to the outside of the capital and hid, waiting for Song Haiwei to open the city gate for them.
Song Haiwei brought Song Haichao, Song Haiting and Song Haijin to the city gate, quietly killed the soldiers guarding the gate, opened the gate, and welcomed the Duke of Protector's army into the capital.
Their mission was to kill the rebels guarding the palace gate and capture the prime minister.
Enter the capital and lead a large army directly to the palace to kill the rebels there and rescue the palace.
When they arrived at the palace gate, there were about five thousand soldiers guarding it, and they had surrounded the gate tightly.
"Which army are you from? The palace is a sensitive area and you are not allowed to bring troops here. Don't you know that? Do you want to rebel?" said the commander guarding the palace gate.
"We are from the Protector of the Country's army, and which army are you from? I think you want to rebel?" Song Haiwei said.
"That's nonsense. We are the Second Prince's men. Prince Jin went to the Huguo Temple to pray for the Emperor, so the Second Prince sent us here to protect the palace and prevent you traitors from breaking in and committing rebellion." The other commander turned the tables and angrily scolded Song Haiwei.
"What a sharp-tongued and eloquent person you are. It's obviously you who wanted to rebel, but you turned the tables and confuse right and wrong. You made the rebellion sound so fresh and unconventional, and called it protecting the imperial palace. I really admire you and admit defeat." Song Haiwei said sarcastically.
"Nonsense! It was you who led the troops to break into the palace, and we were guarding here under orders." said the opposing commander.
"Really? May I ask whose orders you are following? I heard that the emperor is now unconscious. How could he order you to stay here?" Song Haiwei said with a sneer.
"Yes, the emperor is unconscious. He handed over the matter of regent to Prince Jin. Prince Jin went to the Huguo Temple to pray for the emperor and handed over the protection of the palace and regent to His Royal Highness the Second Prince. We are here in accordance with the order of His Royal Highness the Second Prince to guard the safety of the palace and kill the traitors." The other commander said righteously.
"That was so well said, I was almost moved. But unfortunately, fake is always fake. No matter how you say it, it can never be made real."
"We are here on the orders of His Royal Highness Prince Jin to arrest you traitors?" Song Haiwei said.
