"She is the younger sister of Xue Zhao, the fiancée that Prince Xun has been looking for for many years. Her name is Xue Yang, and she grew up in the palace." Hua Li replied.
Hua Yiyao seemed to be relieved. He carefully rolled up the painting in his hand and said, "That's good. Send her to Xianghe Palace."
As soon as these words were spoken, Hua Li's face changed slightly. Xianghe Palace was the emperor's bedroom. The emperor's intention of asking him to send Xue Yang to Xianghe Palace was self-evident, but this was the only way to save Xue Yang.
"I obey your command." Hua Li took the order and retreated, leading several elite imperial guards to Prince Xun's Mansion.
Soon, they arrived at the gate of the palace.
Hua Li nodded slightly to his deputy general Zhang Yan beside him. Zhang Yan understood and stepped forward, shouting loudly into Prince Xun's mansion, "Everyone in the mansion, listen up! You have a quarter of an hour to open the door. The commander-in-chief has been ordered to search the mansion. Anyone who disobeys will be killed on the spot!"
Zhang Yan's voice was loud and full of energy, and it almost spread throughout the entire Huazhou Imperial City.
In Prince Xun’s Mansion.
There were more than a hundred people in the mansion, led by Xu Chang and Su Yang, including men and women, old and young. The men held swords, the women held kitchen knives, the old held carrying poles, and the young held sticks. They stood quietly inside the door and obeyed the orders of Xu Chang and Su Yang.
Xu Chang looked at this scene, and a trace of emotion appeared on his icy face. He said in a hoarse voice, "As long as the prince doesn't return, we will not retreat!"
Everyone raised their weapons and shouted, "No retreat! No retreat! No retreat!"
Only Su Yang covered his face with a helpless expression, looking at the group of little girls who were brought into the mansion by people from all sides. Su Yang walked over and snatched the stick from one of the children. He held his forehead with his hand and said with shame: "Xiaoyue, with your small body, you can't move even if the imperial guards hold you with one hand!"
After saying that, Su Yang dropped the stick in his hand and walked over to a woman. Seeing that the woman's hands were shaking so much that she couldn't even hold the knife steadily, Su Yang reluctantly took the knife from her hand and sighed, "Aunt Wang, look at you, your hands are shaking so badly! You scared yourself to death before the imperial guards came in."
Su Yang was about to throw the knife on the ground, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do so. It was too dangerous. It would be bad if it hit his foot.
Holding a knife, Su Yang walked to an old man. The old man's hair was already gray, and the shoulder pole in his hand was taller than anyone else.
Su Yang's mouth twitched slightly, and he reluctantly took the shoulder pole from the old man's hand, tossed it to the guard beside him, helped the old man to sit aside and said, "Uncle Liu, please don't make trouble, be careful not to hurt your waist."
After letting Mr. Liu sit firmly, Su Yang walked up to the crowd and said, "It's not that Xue Yang looks down on you, but as long as there is a young man still in Prince Xun's Mansion, I will never let you go forward and fight!" After a pause, Su Yang turned to the palace guards and said loudly, "Don't you agree?"
All the guards felt a surge of excitement in their hearts, raised their weapons and answered loudly: "Yes!"
Su Yang nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good. Now everyone listen to me and put down your weapons."
Everyone looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and then dropped their weapons.
Only Xu Chang still held the sword tightly in his hand, frowning and asking, "Miss Xueyang, do you have any ideas?"
Su Yang was slightly stunned, lowered his eyelids slightly, and uttered four words: "Surrender."
