younger brother!
younger brother……
younger brother! ! !
As Yuan Yun was about to faint, those two words kept flashing through her mind. She suddenly opened her eyes, ignoring the pain from the incision and not caring whether she would be stabbed again, and charged forward with all her might.
Seeing that Yuan Yun was at her last gasp, the pursuers raised their knives and charged again. At that moment, more than a dozen dark figures descended, all of them young boys with tender faces.
"Your Highness, run!"
"Live...live!" Yuan Yun said the same thing and continued running forward.
At this moment, she felt helpless. These teenagers were her last trump card, and there weren't many of them. Every one who died was one less, so she desperately wanted them to survive.
Their willingness to step forward in this situation is proof enough of their loyalty.
The more one who survives, the more loyal forces we will have in the future.
With no one on the rooftops behind and to either side, Yuan Yun felt a little relieved, but she dared not pause in her tracks.
"here!"
"Yuan Yun is here!!"
The pursuers on another street spotted Yuan Yun and surrounded her again.
Yuan Yun stopped running, leaned against the wall of the house, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
I'm tired.
So much time has passed, Empress Dowager Feng and Feng Yuan should have both succeeded by now.
It's good that it's done.
My death is not a pity...
Ignoring the pursuers who were closing in, Yuan Yun looked up at the sky and a slight smile appeared on her face.
The white clouds in the sky seemed to form the shape of Yuan Xiu's face.
"Brother, you must protect this land..."
Yuan Yun closed her eyes and never once looked at the pursuers.
"Da da da—"
Suddenly, the sound of rapid hoofbeats approached.
The pursuers looked to their left and right and immediately panicked.
The leader jumped off his horse, ran quickly to Yuan Yun, and shouted, "Royal Sister!"
Yuan Yun was startled, opened her eyes, and saw Yuan Xiu's face.
"Little brother, what brings you here?"
"Empress Dowager Feng is dead!" Yuan Xiu exclaimed excitedly. "I was worried about your safety, so I asked my uncle for a cavalry unit to rescue you!"
"Hahaha……"
Yuan Yun's body trembled, and she burst out laughing.
"Hahaha!!!"
Yuan Xiu hugged Yuan Yun tightly, and the siblings burst into laughter.
Feng Garden.
Corpses lay strewn everywhere, and blood flowed like a river.
The soldiers, led by Zhao Huan and Erzhu Hua, stood majestically and solemnly in the courtyard, while the guests were driven aside and crowded together.
Yuan Zhang's cavalry also entered Feng Garden, and everyone stared at the Feng family members and members of the Hou Party kneeling on the ground.
These people surrendered at the time of the incident and were not killed; there are approximately three hundred survivors.
The elderly and children were all trembling with fear.
Zhao Huan greeted Yuan Zhang first, cupping his hands and saying, "So the Princess's backup plan is the Imperial Uncle. I admire you!"
Yuan Zhang said expressionlessly, "The Eldest Princess is both wise and brave, and His Majesty is resilient and patient. The Empress Dowager's faction is bound to fail."
Erzhu Hua pouted, her face showing displeasure, and said, "If we hadn't killed Feng Bao in time, could your cavalry have stabilized the situation? Yuan Zhang, you can't take credit for this now!"
Yuan Zhang remained stiff as he said, "I have never boasted about my own achievements; I have praised His Majesty and the Eldest Princess."
"You!" Erzhu Hua was displeased with Yuan Zhang's arrogant attitude and was about to get angry when Tu He pulled her back.
"Grand Commandant, please calm down," Tu He said softly. "It's not a good time to break ties with him now."
As he spoke, Tu He stepped forward and said with a smile, "The remnants of the Empress Dowager's faction are all here. Now that the Imperial Uncle has arrived, we'll hand them over to you. You can decide whether to kill or dispose of them."
Erzhu Hua instantly understood Tu He's scheme. Although the Empress Dowager's faction had been destroyed, even a centipede with a hundred legs will not die easily. There would always be some loyalists to the Feng family who would launch a counterattack. Now, handing the butcher's knife to Yuan Zhang was ostensibly to give him credit, but in reality, it was to push him out to take the blame.
"snort!"
Yuan Zhang snorted coldly, showing no respect for Tu He either, and said sternly, "How could I possibly make such a decision?!"
Erzhuhua, unable to bear it any longer, shouted, "Yuan Zhang, that's enough! What kind of attitude is this? You're just the emperor's uncle. In terms of official rank and title, what are you? I hate you royal relatives the most!"
"Alright, alright..." Li Shou stepped forward to persuade him, saying, "Grand Commandant, please calm down. We are all united against the Empress Dowager's faction now; we are all family..."
"Who's family with him!" Erzhuhua turned away, her back to Yuan Zhang.
"The Emperor has arrived!!!"
"The Princess has arrived!!!"
At this moment, Yuan Yun and her brother Yuan Xiu walked over hand in hand.
Yuan Zhang was the first to kneel down.
Seeing this, Zhao Huan quickly knelt down as well, and also tugged at Li Shou's arm.
Erzhuhua and Tuhe were a little uncomfortable, since they rarely knelt before the emperor, but after hesitating for a while, they still knelt down.
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
"Long live the Princess! Long live the Princess! Long live the Princess! Long live the Princess!"
Zhao Huan looked up and saw that Yuan Yun was covered in blood, like a soldier who had just returned from the battlefield.
Yuan Xiu, with a resolute expression and ruthless eyes, suddenly transformed into a composed adult, completely unlike his previous timid and cowardly self.
This change alarmed Zhao Huan.
As he looked at Yuan Xiu and Yuan Yun, Yuan Yun also looked at him and smiled slightly.
That smile put Zhao Huan at ease.
This is tacit understanding.
But Yuan Yun's smile, blooming amidst her blood-soaked face, was exceptionally poignant.
Erzhuhua was not as perceptive as Zhao Huan. After kneeling for a moment, she stood up, put her hands on her hips, and said, "Your Majesty, these traitors have all been captured. What should be done with them?"
