Chapter 623: The battle last night was very fierce
When Sui Sui saw Xie Yingmian, his eyes lit up and he threw himself into Xie Yingmian's arms with a howl.
Xie Yingmian touched Suisui's head.
Sui Sui made a comfortable gurgling sound in his throat.
Yu Lingye replied, "The dust will soon settle."
Xie Yingmian: "The dust is about to settle, does it mean it hasn't settled yet?"
"What's going on?"
Yu Lingye looked at Xie Jingyun: "Father-in-law, please speak."
Xie Yingmian: Father-in-law?
When did these two become so close?
Xie Jingyun was obviously very satisfied with being called father-in-law.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip to moisten his throat. "Last night, the battle was very fierce."
"After the Third Prince and Concubine Xing jointly opened the palace gates, the Third Prince's forces appeared throughout the palace."
"The forces are divided into three groups. One group will be left to deal with the imperial guards outside the palace, one group will deal with the imperial guards inside the palace, and the last group, led by the Third Prince himself, will attack Jiuxiao Palace."
"The emperor is suspicious by nature, but he is not unprepared."
"After the Third Prince led his men in, a fierce conflict ensued between the Emperor's shard owners and the Purple Lion Guards and the soldiers he brought with him."
"The Third Prince was well prepared, and the Emperor quickly gained the upper hand."
"The emperor was watching the Third Prince successfully usurp the throne, yet he remained unhurried."
"The Emperor had long since seen through the Third Prince's evil ambitions. He allowed him to do what he wanted and forced the emperor to abdicate."
"The Emperor's idea is very simple. He wants to use light weapons when the Third Prince is at his most proud."
"He wants the Third Prince to see with his own eyes that his years of planning have come to nothing."
"He also wants everyone to see that his light weapon is invincible. As long as he has the light weapon in his hand, no one can usurp his throne."
Xie Yingmian's eyes widened slightly.
She lowered her head and asked Sui Sui, "But didn't you take the light weapon away?"
Xie Jingyun smiled: "That's right."
"I asked Sui Sui and Qing Huang to sneak into the place where the light weapons were stored and take them away."
"The Emperor is unaware of this."
"All the Emperor's arrogance stems from light weapons."
"But, the light weapon was taken away."
"So, when the emperor sent out the signal to deploy light weapons, what he received wasn't light weapons, but guards with pale faces."
"The guards told the emperor that all the light weapons had vanished into thin air."
"The emperor naturally didn't believe it. He thought the guards had betrayed him."
"As I said before, the emperor is suspicious by nature, and it's impossible for all of his light weapons to be kept by others. The emperor has stored the most lethal light weapon in the secret compartment under the dragon throne."
"This single light weapon alone can make the Emperor invincible. This is also the reason why the Emperor can act with impunity."
Xie Jingyun felt a little guilty when he said this.
It was he who personally handed this light weapon to the emperor.
It was precisely because of this light weapon that he and Xiao Yuer suffered a tragedy that lasted for twenty years.
It was also because of this light weapon that he inadvertently changed the fate of many people.
He wanted to turn back time countless times.
If he could go back in time, he would definitely slap himself hard when he was drunk and spoke his heart out.
"The light weapons recovered by Sui Sui and Qing Huang do not include this one. I don't know where this light weapon is. That's why I called Sui Sui, Qing Huang, and Qing Xiao to come into the palace with me last night."
The next words were taken over by Sui Sui.
Sui Sui said, "Thank you, Dad, you are right."
"This one is not among the light weapons that Qing Huang and I recovered."
"I originally wanted to conduct a thorough search of the palace, but Father Xie said there was no need to go to such lengths. The Emperor has become much more cunning, and it would be bad to alert the enemy. It would be better to wait for the Emperor to personally take it out, and then we can reap the benefits."
It chuckled twice.
"When the emperor took out that light weapon, Qinghuang Qingxiao and I went out together."
"One of them will be responsible for holding the emperor, the other will be responsible for blocking the attacks of the light weapons, and I will be responsible for snatching the light weapons."
"The three of us coordinated well, and before the emperor could react, we had already stored the weapon in the empty stone space."
"Hahaha, Meibao, you didn't see the emperor's expression at that time. It was like a color palette, sometimes blue, sometimes white, sometimes red. It made me laugh to death."
"Without his weapons, the emperor had nothing to rely on. He was completely panicked."
"The Third Prince has no more obstacles and has ascended to the throne as he wished."
"The Third Prince is young and strong. No matter how powerful the Emperor is, he is still in his fifties. Soon, the Third Prince put the knife to the Emperor's neck."
Sui Sui spoke with great interest.
"The emperor begged for mercy from the Third Prince, promising that if the Third Prince spared him, he would immediately issue an edict to appoint the Third Prince as Crown Prince and abdicate the throne to the Third Prince."
"The Third Prince is a ruthless man. He doesn't believe in the emperor's promises at all."
"And just like that, the Third Prince's knife cut the Emperor's neck."
Suisui put his little paws on his neck and made a "click" gesture.
Xie Yingmian was stunned again and again after hearing this.
She asked, "The Emperor, is he dead just like that?"
Sui Sui nodded: "The neck is cut, there is no way he can survive."
Xie Yingmian turned to look at Yu Lingye: "Now that the Emperor is dead, doesn't that mean the Third Prince will be the biggest winner?"
Yu Lingye chuckled.
His voice was deep and dark. "Have you forgotten that our original strategy was to stalk the cicada while the mantis waits for the oriole behind?"
