Chapter 292: Palace Change
The Sixth Prince immediately pulled Lu Panchu behind him and stared at him vigilantly.
Gao Ran came back to his senses, narrowed his eyes, and looked very sinister.
"Xiyue, did you invite me here just to let me see this? Now the whole palace is looking for the Sixth Prince, this traitor and traitor. If you want to plead for him or ask me to help him escape, I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible!"
He pointed at Hee Yue and Sang Yeong.
"When I report this to the Emperor, none of you will be able to escape."
Xiyue lifted her skirt and walked over quickly, holding his hand: "Husband, please listen to my explanation."
"I don't want to hear it! I've long felt that there was something fishy about you. It turns out you were in contact with traitors like the Sixth Prince. Someone come here!" Gao Ran turned around and called for someone.
Suddenly! A cold light flashed!
His shouting stopped abruptly, his eyes widened, and he looked down.
I saw a sword in his chest, piercing through from behind.
Blood dripped out along the edge of the sword.
Lu Panchu subconsciously looked at Xiangying, but unexpectedly, Xiangying just stood there in shock.
The person who actually holds the sword is Xiyue.
Gao Ran slowly turned his head and looked at Xiyue, blood foaming from his mouth.
"Why...Xiyue, you and I have been childhood sweethearts since we were young."
"But your father forced my sister to death, my own sister!!" Xiyue gritted her teeth, the hatred in her eyes was a fire that could not be concealed.
Her behavior showed that she had an agenda when she called Gao Ran over today.
Xiyue pushed the sword in two more inches, and Gao Ran fell to his knees with a thud.
"Xiyue, our relationship..."
"We have no feelings for each other. You are the son of my enemy. The reason why I stayed with you was for this moment. In fact, Gao Ran, you really make me sick."
As she spoke, she raised her foot and kicked him hard on the shoulder, pulling out the sword at the same time.
With a sound of sand, blood splattered all over the ground.
Gao Ran also fell to the ground with a thud, dying with his eyes open.
Xiyue was breathing heavily, his eyes were red, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
Xiangying and the others looked at her in surprise and silence.
Xiyue covered her face with her hands. Her emotional breakdown only lasted for two seconds before she immediately returned to her normal expression.
She said in a light tone, "I invited him here today because I wanted to kill him in the chaos and avenge my sister. I didn't expect you to come here suddenly and disrupt my plan."
As she said this, she wiped away her tears and looked at Xiangying.
"What did you just say you wanted me to do for you?"
Xiangying came back to his senses: "Um, the Sixth Prince and the others..."
Before she finished her words, Xiyue said, "I know. I can send them to a safe place."
Xiyue agreed so decisively that even the Sixth Prince was stunned.
He frowned, a little suspicious: "Are you willing to help us?"
"I'm not helping you, I'm helping Xiangying," Xiyue said calmly, "She looks like my sister, so I'm willing to help her. But you'd better leave with me quickly, Gao Ran's followers will be here soon."
Xiangying nodded: "You guys go."
The Sixth Prince and Lu Panchu both changed into the clothes of guards and palace maids, intending to follow Xiyue out of the palace.
Before leaving, Lu Panchu suddenly turned around and held Xiangying's hand tightly.
She cried and choked: "Xiangying, I am a very stupid person, but even I feel that this palace is not peaceful. You must protect yourself. If there is a chance, we will meet again."
Xiangying patted the back of her hand and said, "Okay, you can pray for them that I won't raze this place to the ground."
"Ah?" Lu Panchu blinked his innocent eyes.
The Sixth Prince pulled her and said, "Let's go. It's a good thing that she doesn't send others to hell."
He looked at Xiangying deeply and still reminded her, "But still pay attention to safety, don't get into trouble, Jie Chen will go crazy everywhere."
Xiangying smiled.
"goodbye."
The three figures quickly disappeared into the night.
Xiangying turned around, looked at Gao Ran's body on the ground, and sighed.
"Letting you die here would be a disgrace to Xining's former residence."
Half an hour later.
The queen's maid came out of the inner hall and suddenly screamed loudly, and fainted from fright.
Everyone looked up and saw that someone had hung a dead body outside the Queen's door! !
When he put it down and took a look, it turned out to be the only son of the late Mr. Gao!
…
The palace was in chaos overnight.
The Sixth Prince was missing, and the Emperor's confidant Gao Ran was hanged silently from the beam of the house.
Ling Su, who had been hiding and pretending to be seriously ill, finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He wanted to regain control of the court and appear at the morning court. The first order he gave was to ask Jie Chen, who was on patrol outside, to come back.
That night, Ling Su was sleeping when he heard a banging noise outside.
He opened his eyes suddenly and sat up alertly.
"Someone come." he called.
However, in the bustling yet deserted hall, there were no lights on, only the swaying shadows cast by the moonlight.
For some reason, one of the windows was open, and cold air was blowing into the room.
"Someone come here!" Ling Su stood up and was about to walk out.
But suddenly, a cold sword came out from the side and crossed his neck.
Ling Su paused and looked sideways.
It turned out to be Jie Chen.
"Your Majesty, you are calling someone, what's the matter?" Jie Chen asked.
Ling Su's face was gloomy: "Xie Chen, you are indeed ambitious. I guess you have never left the palace these days, right?"
In the shadows, Jie Chen's face was as handsome as jade, and he looked more like an motionless killing Buddha.
His thin lips were cold: "Yes, so what?"
Ling Su sneered: "You made such a big fuss, do you think you have the upper hand? I have seen through your plan a long time ago. I also know that Prince Yong is not dead. You have never told me the truth, so I am naturally on guard against you."
"Come on, you want to kill me, right? I have already handed over the imperial edict to the eldest prince, and told him that once he ascends the throne, he should immediately order your execution."
"Xie Chen, you are just like your mother. You have the blood of the Western Zhou Dynasty flowing in your bones. You are never worthy of my trust."
The next second, with a dull thud, Xie Chen's sword pierced his shoulder blade diagonally.
Ling Su screamed, knelt on the ground, and gasped heavily.
Jie Chen lowered his eyes and looked at her coldly: "You are not worthy of mentioning my mother. I have endured humiliation and lived for so many years just to end your life with my own hands one day. Ling Su, you should have died long ago for the numerous crimes you have committed."
"Not only will I kill you, I will also destroy the kingdom you have always wanted to preserve. I will make Xiangying the emperor of South Vietnam."
"You——!" Ling Su widened his eyes.
Before he could finish his scolding, Jie Chen stabbed him in the heart with a sword and he fell to the ground instantly.
He pointed at Jie Chen with trembling fingers. After a while, he died.
Jie Chen put down his sword and looked at him coldly until a cold sneer escaped from his lips.
Ling Su died so easily, he still wasn't completely relieved.
He walked over and opened the door. There was a loud bang, and the crowd of soldiers outside suddenly knelt on the ground.
Upon closer inspection, there were quite a few imperial guards, all of them were Xie Chen's men.
They shouted: "Welcome to His Highness the Tenth Prince."
Xie Chen looked up at the vast night sky, then retracted his gaze.
"The eldest prince took advantage of his father's illness to seize power and slander the sixth prince, suspecting him of usurping the throne. Now the entire palace is under a ban. You must find the eldest prince for me, dead or alive."
"yes!"
The soldiers scattered.
Xiangying was in the room and heard the sound of fighting in the distance. He guessed that Jie Chen had taken the initiative to launch a coup.
