Chapter 622: The Third Prince’s Army Arrives at the Gate of the City
"The gates of hell are opened, thousands of ghosts are coming out, and the ghost soldiers appear in the world."
"I'm afraid the world is going to be in chaos."
"Hide, hide well, and don't make any noise."
The experienced old man knelt on the ground, kowtowed and bowed hard, praying for the blessings of gods and Buddhas.
The people either hid under their beds, huddled together as a family, or curled up in the corner, not daring to move.
At midnight, there were no patrol troops left in the city.
No one dared to go out.
The soldiers assembled by the Third Prince moved freely through the streets and alleys.
Soon, the third prince's troops arrived at the city.
The closer we get to the palace, the thinner the fog becomes.
Because it was midnight, the drawbridge over the moat had already been raised high.
The moat is different from other rivers. The water level is low and the sides are high.
There are also mechanisms on the city walls on both sides.
There are also traps at the bottom of the river.
If you attack by boat, the mechanism system will definitely be triggered.
The third prince obviously knew this.
When he reached the Yujin River, he blew a soft whistle.
Whistling also has rhythm.
Not long after the whistle sounded, the suspension bridge was slowly descending.
Along with the drawbridge, the imperial city gate also opened.
The third prince's army quickly crossed the drawbridge and entered the gate of the imperial city.
The inside and outside of the imperial city are two different worlds.
The fog outside the imperial city was thick, but it was thinner near the palace.
There was no thick fog inside the imperial city.
The thick fog seemed to have deliberately avoided the palace.
As the Third Prince traveled along the way, he became more and more certain that the truth he had obtained about the thick fog was true.
The thick fog is not ghost fog, but man-made.
The manufacturer's purpose is self-evident.
The third prince was secretly delighted. Without the cover of thick fog, he would not have been able to do it so smoothly.
This time, he got lucky.
The third prince stood at the foot of the pitch-black imperial city, his eyes gloomily gazing at the Jiuxiao Palace not far away.
As long as he attacks Jiuxiao Palace.
As long as he killed the emperor.
As long as he controls the entire palace.
When the sun rises tomorrow, he will become the new emperor of the Dayu Dynasty.
He had been preparing for this day for years.
Finally, the wait has come.
The third prince's heart was pounding.
He gestured, signaling everyone to attack.
The soldiers sneaked into various parts of the palace as quickly as possible.
Soon, the sounds of swords clashing, fighting, and roaring came one after another.
There was chaos in the palace.
Outside the palace.
In Prince Ling's Mansion.
Xie Yingmian tossed and turned in bed.
Yu Lingye pulled her in and rested his head on hers: "Can't sleep?"
Xie Yingmian: "There's a rebellion going on over there, and the Third Prince is no pushover. If he succeeds, we'll be in a lot of trouble. It would be strange if I could sleep under such circumstances."
Yu Lingye chuckled: "Do you still remember the incident when the Third Prince's wife made a fool of herself in the palace?"
Xie Yingmian naturally remembered it.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, the Third Prince's wife inexplicably targeted her.
She was called by the Queen Mother and led to the small courtyard by Yan Lingyue. When she came back, the Queen told her that everyone saw the Third Prince's wife masturbating.
The Queen said at that time that the Third Prince's wife insisted that she was the one who did it and asked her to be careful.
She had already thought of a solution at that time.
But later, there was no news about this matter.
Neither the Third Prince's wife nor the Third Prince appeared in front of her.
"Is this matter related to the Third Prince's rebellion?"
Yu Lingye said, "It's somewhat related."
"The incident with the Third Prince's wife was done by Concubine Xing."
"I secretly sent the results of my investigation to the Third Prince. He must have made a deal with Concubine Xing."
Xie Yingmian suddenly understood.
She asked, "Is Concubine Xing colluding with the Third Prince?"
Yu Lingye said: "That's right."
"Noble Concubine Xing is in the harem and cannot interfere in the affairs of the former dynasty."
"But, behind Imperial Concubine Xing is the Xing family, one of the Eight Great Aristocratic Clans. Whether it's the Imperial Guards inside the palace, the Imperial Guards outside the palace, or even the Emperor's exclusive Purple Lion Guards, there are members of the Xing family."
"With the help of the Xing family, the Third Prince should have lowered the drawbridge and entered the city gate."
When Yu Lingye said this, he looked out the window.
The fog outside the window was so thick that I couldn't see anything at all.
"Don't think about it. It's time to sleep. Even if the sky falls, we still have Chen Tingsi and the others. When you wake up, the sun may be out."
Xie Yingmian was indeed a little sleepy.
She yawned, arched her back in Yu Lingye's arms, and found a more comfortable position.
Soon, she fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was already daybreak.
Yu Lingye is not around.
Xie Yingmian touched where Yu Lingye was and found the quilt was cold. It was obvious that he had been up for a while.
Xie Yingmian patted his head.
She really has a big heart.
The weather outside was changing, but she was still sleeping so soundly.
Open the door.
The thick fog has not yet completely dissipated.
She went back to the house, found her gas mask and went to the study.
In the study.
Xie Jingyun and Suisui have returned.
Xie Yingmian asked, "What's the situation?"
