"Why go down the road of death when you know you will die!" In response to Pei Changying, it was Gu Sang's warning full of murderous aura, not guilt and uneasiness.
However.
The ministers remained motionless.
"Protect the Emperor to the death!"
"Kill the rebels!" Lord Li shouted indignantly.
Pei Changying looked at Lord Li with admiration. He didn't expect that at the critical moment, Lord Li was still the most loyal.
Pei Changying stared at Gu Sang with a mixture of love and hate, and slowly spoke:
"Gu Sang, why do you treat me like this?"
"I've been so good to you. What happened in the past is over. I've admitted my mistakes and know I'm in the wrong. I'm even willing to give you the throne and even agree to be your wife!"
"But what about you? You still want to betray me. You make me feel so disappointed."
Gu Sang scoffed, "You're being nice to me, so you're imprisoning me? You're being nice to me, so you're stabbing my grandma."
"If you think this is what you're doing for me, then come here and let me stab you a few times."
Pei Changying's face turned pale, and he looked at the person in front of him with hurt eyes: "Gu Sang, I was forced by you. If you could stay with me peacefully, how could I treat you like this?"
"Do you really think that Pei Weiqi and other traitors can overthrow me?"
"Hahaha, then you are too naive."
"Since ancient times, how could anyone who sat on the throne not have a few trump cards? I'll give you one more chance, come here!"
At this time, Pei Changying was still confident.
This reaction made Gu Sang, the eldest princess and others feel a little depressed, and they had a bad premonition.
It seems like they overlooked something?
Could Pei Changying still turn the tide?
The prime minister stood there in a daze, staring at the emperor's face, wondering what he was thinking.
Suddenly, the Prime Minister raised his head abruptly and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, are you in charge of the Shadow Gate?"
Shadow Gate???
When this word came out of the prime minister's mouth, Gu Sang subconsciously looked at the eldest princess.
But she saw the eldest princess shaking her head at her.
It seems that even the princess doesn't know.
Seeing this, the Prime Minister stepped back a few steps from Pei Changying before explaining to everyone: "You may know that the Emperor has secret guards around him. They are already top-notch experts."
"But few people know that the late emperor once secretly trained the Shadow Clan. The Shadow Clan is even more mysterious and cold-blooded than the Dark Guards."
"They are orphans personally selected by the late emperor and raised from childhood. When they reach adulthood, they will fight each other. Only the victorious one will join the Shadow Clan. The rest will only become corpses."
"The news about Shadow Gate is too mysterious. Even I don't know much about it."
"I thought the late emperor passed away too quickly, and the news about Shadow Clan was not disclosed to the Emperor. I never expected that the Emperor would be in charge of Shadow Clan now."
Originally, the late emperor did not favor Pei Changying, so it was naturally impossible for him to tell Pei Changying the secret that only the emperor could know.
At that time, the late emperor passed away soon, and the prime minister thought that the late emperor had never mentioned the Shadow Gate to Pei Changying.
But unexpectedly, Pei Changying not only knew about it, but also took charge of the Shadow Gate.
Even Gu Sang was unaware of this matter.
No, not only Gu Sang, even the eldest princess has never heard of him from my father.
Hearing the Prime Minister inexplicably reveal all his trump cards without any explanation, Pei Changying narrowed his eyes dangerously.
He stared at the prime minister with a scrutinizing gaze and asked, "Prime Minister, what do you mean by this?"
Pei Changying already suspects the prime minister!
At this point, the prime minister no longer needed to hide anything. He had been standing on the periphery, and now he walked towards the eldest princess with determination.
Silence is better than words at this time. The prime minister has shown through his actions that he has been instigated to rebel!
The ministers in the hall were stunned when they saw this scene.
Even Pei Changying was a little shocked. He said angrily with murderous intent in his eyes: "Good! Good! Good! I didn't expect that my most loyal prime minister would betray me."
"No wonder Gu Sang was able to escape the capital. It turns out that my prime minister rebelled!"
"Hahahaha! I only just realized this now."
Pei Changying sneered and opened the thing in his hand.
No one noticed when Pei Changying had something extra in his hand.
When Gu Sang and the others saw it, they saw a beam of fire rising into the sky.
"Bang!"
Gu Sang's pupils contracted violently. Was it a signal flare?
The moment they saw the signal flare, all the civil and military officials in the court showed joy on their faces.
Judging from the emperor's tone, as long as the powerful Shadow Clan arrives, they will be saved!
"Catch the traitor!"
"Once the Shadow Clan's assassins arrive, the eldest princess will die!" Lord Li shouted with great vigor. Although he did not rush out, his slogans were deafening.
His eyes were shining with excitement, and he kept thinking, Hahahaha, the prime minister is rebelling!
As long as he can protect the emperor today, he may become the prime minister in the future!
The Royal Guards swarmed in and immediately engaged in battle with the army brought by Gu Sang.
The Prime Minister stood beside Gu Sang and the Princess, his face stern as he said, "Princess, kill Pei Changying quickly. He must have something that can command the Shadow Clan."
"The Shadow Gate only recognizes tokens, not people!"
Hearing this.
The eldest princess immediately drew her bow and aimed the arrow at Pei Changying.
“Whoosh!”
"Protect the Emperor!"
Lord Li's heart-wrenching voice rang out.
It happened in the blink of an eye. When the sharp arrow was about to kill Pei Changying, a silver light came quickly from afar and arrived in front of the sharp arrow in the blink of an eye.
"when!"
The sharp arrow was blocked for a moment and fell immediately.
"brush!"
“Swish!”
In the blink of an eye, dozens of figures appeared around Pei Changying. They were men in black, their entire bodies covered in black clothes, with only a pair of eyes exposed.
Their eyes were numb and cold, like the living dead, but the murderous aura they exuded was impossible to ignore.
I think these people are from the Shadow Gate.
Although they were few in number, Gu Sang still did not dare to be careless. She whispered to the eldest princess, "Be careful, I feel these people are very powerful!"
The eldest princess nodded, but before she could say anything, something unexpected happened.
Pei Changying took out the token and pointed at Gu Sang.
"Except her, everyone else will be killed. No one will be left alive."
Immediately afterwards, the Shadow Gate's death squad took action.
Gu Sang only felt a flash before his eyes, and when he looked again, there was no shadowy figure beside Pei Changying.
Until this time.
Gu Sang finally understood that the Qinggong described in novels and stories was actually real? In ancient times, there really were people who could practice such awe-inspiring Qinggong!
"puff!"
The eldest princess beside him was unable to dodge and was stabbed in the arm by Yingmen's sword, causing her to vomit blood immediately.
"Wei Qi!"
Gu Sang and the eldest princess were originally standing together, and at this time Gu Sang quickly supported the eldest princess.
Then he immediately took out the electric baton when the Shadow Gate killer rushed forward again.
Gu Sang suddenly increased the current of the electric baton to its maximum.
“Sizzle——”
Everyone only heard a crackling sound, and then they saw the most incredible scene.
