Swish swish swish... Just then,
Arrows rained down from the palace walls, whistling as they hurtled towards their bodies.
A ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of the Prince of Qin.
With a single hand, he wielded his sword, swiftly slashing through the volley of arrows in front of him...
Instantly, chaos erupted within the palace.
Beneath the cold gaze of the Prince of Qin lay a grim face.
Then, he ventured towards the direction of the Eastern Palace.
The fact that such a cold, sharp arrow could not bring him down shows that he was highly skilled in martial arts.
The concubines and eunuchs were so frightened that they hid in the inner palace and dared not come out.
Just then, Nineteen, who was lying under the quilt, was awakened by this noisy sound.
Since Qiu Yan treated him that day, his health has gradually begun to recover.
However, as His Highness had instructed, he had not left the Eastern Palace for the past few days.
Originally, his shoulder blade injury was in the recovery period and he should not move.
At that moment, he was stunned and seemed unaware of what had happened, when he heard rustling footsteps coming from outside the courtyard.
Then, the main gate of the East Palace was kicked open by someone outside the courtyard.
Immediately afterwards, they saw the Crown Prince of Qin leading an army into the Eastern Palace.
This force was the private army left to him by the King of Qin, and it was not part of the previous army.
When the Prince of Qin rushed in, through the window, he saw from afar that His Highness the Crown Prince was lying alone on his bed, ignored by everyone.
To avoid spreading the infection, the Crown Prince of Qin stood far outside the palace, gave a cold laugh, and ordered his men to draw their swords and strike.
With a ripping sound,
Blood splattered.
The Prince of Qin was terrified.
Because it wasn't the prince in bed who had the accident.
Instead, his man was killed instantly by the Crown Prince's short sword.
The rolling, gurgling head startled the Prince of Qin for a moment.
He was never a powerful figure; the reason he had an army was because his father secretly kept soldiers outside.
However, he quickly calmed down.
He was the crown prince, after all; how could he be so easily killed?
He sneered, looking at the 'Crown Prince's' cheeks, which were still covered by a veil.
"Rocket crew, get ready!"
Fearing infection, it would be better to simply burn down the entire Eastern Palace; that would be simple and straightforward.
Wasn't He Lin going to launch a counterattack against him?
Let's leave him with ruins then.
The Qin family's hatred for He Lin was no less than that of the Gao family.
In fact, the moment He Lin sent someone to have the Prince of Qin's heir escort Consort Hui out of the palace, he was testing him.
Upon hearing the news that the Crown Prince of Qin had declined, He Lin still harbored a last glimmer of hope.
The Qin family's involvement was just minor.
After the Prince of Qin refused, He Lin's sense of luck increased. However, necessary precautions still needed to be taken.
Until that侥幸 (a sense of luck or chance) completely disappeared.
He Lin, however, was unusually relaxed and completely at ease.
At least this way, he will feel less guilty.
However, the Crown Prince of Qin was completely oblivious to He Lin's probing.
He never thought about his daughter from beginning to end.
Because Qin Hui was suffering from a serious illness,
He planned to rescue his daughter after he successfully attacked her.
However, isolation is still the best option.
He knew, of course, that his daughter did not have smallpox, but he did not deny that she had contracted an infectious disease.
He only lamented that the leprosy had not spread to the entire palace.
At this moment, his rocket launcher is ready to go!
The rocket roared and shot straight into the inner palace of the Eastern Palace.
In an instant, the fire spread and burst into flames!
When He Jinran arrived amidst the chaos, this was the scene he saw.
If his father hadn't sent someone to stop him along the way, he wouldn't have arrived so late.
He originally thought,
Since the Emperor had devised a plan, he would then deliver a fatal blow.
If the Crown Prince of Qin were to escape like Grand Tutor Gao, wouldn't he have to live in fear for the next few years?
He Jinran had truly had enough of that kind of life.
A single misstep could lead to death, and he would never allow such a thing to happen.
But now, his Eastern Palace has been burned down.
"Nineteen!" he murmured, about to rush into the East Palace, but was held tightly by Xuanming and Xuanying.
Xuanming: "Your Highness, you mustn't!"
"Let me go!" He Jinran was seething with anger. "Are you just going to let the palace turn into ruins?"
He never imagined that the Qin family's army would be so valiant.
At that moment, he knew.
Father, you underestimated our enemy!
Upon discovering that Mu Bai and Mu Xiao had also come to stop him, he spoke coldly and displeasedly.
"Mu Bai and Mu Xiao, you two stay hidden in the shadows. Do not come out without my order!"
Mu Bai and Mu Xiao were unwilling to leave.
"Uncle Xuanming, Uncle Xuanying, you two should also hide," He Jinran said to Xuanming and the other man.
However, the two seemed not to hear, remaining motionless.
In any case, wherever His Highness goes, they follow.
Who told His Highness to be so fast?
He Jinran was helpless.
These two have been with him since he was four years old.
Honestly, he's just relying on his age and seniority; he's completely unmanageable.
But Mu Bai and Mu Xiao became increasingly bold.
Fine, let it be. He Jinran still has faith in the strength of the four of them.
It's safer for him to act alone.
After all, five people together would make them too conspicuous.
He said no more, and in the blink of an eye, his entire body vanished.
Four people...
Mu Bai and Mu Xiao were completely unprepared for this scene.
They secretly and quickly withdrew, and began to search desperately for the prince's whereabouts.
Meanwhile, they secretly grumbled to themselves.
Your Highness, since you have already concealed your identity, why have you suddenly appeared again?
Doesn't this make them worry about being accused of failing to serve their master?
However, Xuanming and Xuanying were already used to it.
They had already caught up with His Highness in the blink of an eye.
He Jinran watched helplessly as rockets shot one after another toward his bedchamber, his eyes flashing with hatred.
He remained quiet, hidden in the shadows.
While keeping an eye out for enemy troops in the shadows, he held a slingshot in hand...
With a whoosh, a bullet of moderate size was fired straight at the back of the King of Qin's head...
Bang... Before the Crown Prince of Qin could even react, his brains splattered open.
It's truly unbearable to look at.
He Jinran learned a lot from his uncle, including how to catch someone off guard and kill them in one move!
At this moment, the Crown Prince of Qin's entire body... was a gruesome sight.
Let young He Jinran,
It made me want to vomit!
He clutched his chest and gagged.
The same applies to Mu Bai and Mu Xiao.
Even though the occasion was inappropriate, Xuanming and Xuanying couldn't help but laugh when they saw His Highness and Mu Bai acting like this.
The rocket pilots around them forgot their mission and were left only with fear.
Until He Jinran appeared before them, holding two bullets in his hand.
Of course, he was followed by four of his subordinates.
"Anyone who wants to taste the feeling of their brains splattering again, come and fight!"
He Jinran's voice wasn't loud, but it was enough for everyone around him to hear clearly.
Upon hearing this, those people were terrified and kept backing away.
The moment Nineteen heard the sound, he had already rushed out of the house.
As soon as he rushed out, he saw someone not far away raising a bow and arrow and suddenly shooting at He Jin's back.
He flipped over, caught the arrow with his bare hands, and casually tossed it. A muffled groan was heard, and an enemy soldier staggered and fell to the ground.
Immediately, he appeared beside He Jinran at top speed.
He Jinran looked at the nineteenth,
His face was blackened, clearly from smoking.
