Chapter 225: The Palace Seizes People
Chen Li and Doctor Shen worked for an hour to treat the injuries of the four generals.
"Can you speak?"
“Just barely.”
Gu Huan brought Zhao Luoxuan into the room and saw that General Fang and the others were almost completely wrapped up.
General Fang saw her trying to speak: "Madam."
Gu Huan stepped forward quickly and said softly, "Please speak slowly."
Zhao Luoxuan didn't care about anything else and rushed over to ask, "Where's Qi Jun? Where did he go?"
"He was taken away by Jiang Duo..."
It’s Jiang Duo indeed!
Gu Huan knew that General Fang and the others couldn't know too much. After calming down Zhao Luoxuan who was about to ask more questions, she heard footsteps approaching outside.
When I turned around, it was Akabane.
She pulled Zhao Luoxuan out of the room so as not to worry General Fang and the others.
"Found it?"
Akabane nodded: "In the Prince Ping'an's Palace, he is locked up in a courtyard in the West Garden. It is heavily guarded, with more than ten people guarding it. It is not easy to take action in broad daylight."
Hearing this, Zhao Luoxuan ran out.
"Princess!" Gu Huan stood up hurriedly and suddenly felt a pain in her lower abdomen. Her face turned pale and she was too scared to move.
Shen Li was so shocked that he quickly supported her and took her pulse. He frowned and said seriously, "You can't be excited anymore. Don't you want a child anymore?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhilan immediately ordered Donghua and the others to help Gu Huan back home: "Don't worry about anything. Let's discuss how to save her."
"Okay! We must save him!"
Gu Huan didn't stop her.
No matter what the cost, people must be saved!
Otherwise, she would have no face to face Mu Junyan.
Zhao Luoxuan went straight into the palace to find her second brother Zhao Yuxuan, and the sixth prince Zhao Yuwen was also there.
When she saw her two relatives, she burst into tears: "Second brother, Sixth brother."
Zhao Yuwen asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Why are you crying? Didn't you go with Madam Mu to pick them up? Did something happen to them?"
Every time Mu Junyan returned to the capital, Zhao Yuwen would become his little tail. This time he knew that several generals were imprisoned, so he came to discuss ways to rescue them.
"No hurry, take your time."
Zhao Yuxuan ordered someone to pour Zhao Luoxuan a cup of hot tea so that she could relax.
Zhao Luoxuan pushed the teacup away and wiped away her tears: "I want to save Qi Jun! The others have been released, but that bastard Jiang Duo captured Qi Jun and took him to Prince Ping'an's Palace."
Zhao Yuxuan frowned: "My father ordered the release of the person, what right does he have to detain him privately?"
Zhao Yuwen: "That's right! They dare to disobey the emperor's order. The Jiang family is becoming more and more arrogant!"
With the support of her two brothers, Zhao Luoxuan found her backbone and grabbed the second prince: "Brother, you are in charge of the Imperial Guards and Infantry Division. Give me some soldiers and I will go to the Prince of Ping'an's mansion to ask for someone."
Zhao Yuxuan shook his head: "No, I can't mobilize troops privately."
"Second brother!"
Zhao Luoxuan stamped her feet anxiously: "If you want to get the Mu family army, this is the best opportunity. Qi Jun is the most capable deputy general beside the Duke of Yong, and he is the best among the younger generation of generals. If we save him, he will definitely submit to the second brother. Isn't this the best help for you to become the crown prince?"
Zhao Yuwen nodded: "Royal sister is right, this is a good opportunity."
Zhao Yuxuan was speechless and glared at them: "You are too naive! It is a serious crime to mobilize troops without authorization. If someone finds out and reports it to me, my father will blame me, and my mother will not be able to bear it."
Zhao Yuwen was stunned: "What the second brother said is true."
Zhao Luoxuan was so angry: "Coward! No wonder your father has never wanted to make you the crown prince even though you are the legitimate prince. With your weak character, how can you lead the Liang Dynasty!"
She gritted her teeth and said, "If you don't want to help me, forget it. I'll go by myself!"
After saying that, he grabbed Zhao Yuxuan's sword hanging on the wall and rushed out.
Zhao Yuwen chased after her: "Hey, hey, hey, sister, I have guards. Let's take the guards with us."
"You can't go!" Zhao Yuxuan shouted anxiously from behind, but the two people had disappeared long ago.
"Hurry up, go see the Queen Mother." Zhao Yuxuan hurried to the inner palace.
Zhao Luoxuan and Zhao Yuwen led nearly a hundred guards from their own army to surround Prince Ping'an's palace.
The people in Prince Ping'an's palace were surprised to see the prince and princess rushing over with murderous intent.
Someone hurried in to report, and the guard at the door quickly stopped him.
Soon, the leading guard came out. He was also a man who had seen the world. He bowed and said, "Sixth Princess, Sixth Prince, why are you asking this, Your Highness?"
Zhao Luoxuan drew her sword and pointed it at his throat, but the head guard was not afraid as he looked at the princess who couldn't even hold the sword steadily.
She smiled and said, "Even if you are a princess, it is not okay to lead troops to besiege Prince Ping'an's palace."
Zhao Luoxuan said coldly: "Tell Jiang Duo to hand over General Qi, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
The head guard's expression changed slightly: "What General Qi? I don't recognize him."
Zhao Luoxuan swung the sword vigorously, and the guard felt a chill on his neck. He was so scared that he quickly took two steps back. He touched his neck and saw that his hands were covered in blood.
He was so scared that his face turned pale.
Seeing this, the guards quickly surrounded them.
Zhao Luoxuan's eyes were red and she was filled with anger.
"I will take care of everything. Guards, anyone who dares to stop me will be killed!"
The guards they brought with them drew their swords in unison, shouting and killing, as they rushed in with Zhao Luoxuan and Zhao Yuwen.
Jiang Duo rushed out with a sword in hand and a group of people.
"Sixth Princess, Sixth Prince, what are you doing?"
Zhao Luoxuan brandished her sword and screamed, "Jiang Duo, you bastard! Hand over Qi Jun!"
Jiang Duo sneered, "Princess, Qi Jun is suspected of collaborating with the enemy. I am following the orders of the Emperor to investigate. Why, do you want to save her? You know that jailbreaking is a serious crime. The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. As princesses and princes, you have no respect for the law and led the guards to besiege the Prince Ping'an's mansion. I want to go to the palace to ask the Emperor what crime you should be punished for!"
Zhao Yuwen laughed: "My father ordered the left commander to go to the prison to pick up several generals of the Mu family army and send them to Yongguogong for recuperation, but you disobeyed the emperor's order and took General Qi away privately. Lord Jiang, are you going to rebel?"
Jiang Duo's expression changed slightly.
He didn't know that Zuo Ban Duduzhi had gone to release the people.
Instead, Jiang Duo received a report from the Queen's spies in the palace that Zhao Luoxuan liked Qi Jun and had been asking the Queen to grant them a marriage. Jiang Duo felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and after immediately discussing it with his eldest brother and father, they decided to kill two birds with one stone.
Before the Yongguo Mansion could rescue people, Qi Jun was taken away first.
As long as Qi Jun signs to prove that Mu Junyan is a traitor, all the disobedient generals of the Mu Family Army can be caught in one fell swoop, leaving only the obedient ones to control the Mu Family Army. At that time, it will be easy to control the Mu Family Army.
The emperor will definitely hand over the military power to whoever can control the Mu family army.
At the same time, use the relationship between Princess Shuhe and Qi Jun to bring down the Queen and the Second Prince.
Jiang Duo's eyes rolled.
Isn’t it just right that Zhao Luoxuan and Zhao Yuwen come to our doorstep?
He sneered: "That's right, Qi Jun was brought back by this humble official for interrogation. This humble official has not seen any imperial edict, so ignorance is not a crime."
Zhao Luoxuan raised her sword, forced back her tears, and said coldly, "If you don't hand him over, I will kill him!"
Jiang Duo was shocked by the girl's fearless attitude.
Zhao Wenyu looked at his sister with admiration, straightened his back, pointed his sword and said, "Lord Jiang, murdering an official of the imperial court is a capital crime. This prince advises you to think it over carefully."
Zhao Luoxuan couldn't wait any longer and shouted, "Kill them!"
“Kill, kill, kill!”
The guards brandished their swords, the sound of killing shook the sky, and they rushed in with Zhao Luoxuan and Zhao Yuwen.
Jiang Duo was furious. What kind of crappy prince or princess dared to break into Prince Ping'an's palace?
He simply didn't take Jiang seriously.
He also swung his sword and said in a deep voice: "Anyone who dares to enter Jiang's house will be killed without mercy! Kill..."
A black shadow rushed over, and before Jiang Duo could finish his words, his neck was grabbed tightly, and the powerful force of pressure forced him to retreat again and again.
Boom.
The man slammed heavily against the scarlet iron nailed door, his neck was strangled so tightly that he could hardly breathe.
Zhao Luoxuan recognized the person coming as Chiyu.
Akabane ordered: "Take the princess in to find someone."
A guard in black clothes said to Zhao Luoxuan and Zhao Yuwen, "Please follow me in."
For a while, the two sides fought fiercely. Originally, the Royal Guards and the guards of Prince Ping'an's Palace were evenly matched, but suddenly the guards in black appeared.
Each of them was filled with murderous aura honed through blood and fire. They attacked fiercely and with absolute dominance. The guards of Prince Ping'an's palace immediately threw away their helmets and armor and fell to the ground.
Several guards in black clothes protected Zhao Luoxuan and his sister as they rushed inside.
In the blink of an eye, they had already entered the yard and headed straight for the West Garden where the prisoners were being held.
