"Impossible." Ji Yunze's eyes widened in disbelief. "Prince Qi's Mansion only has a few hundred guards. How could he have the guts to rebel?"
"You're truly stubborn." Fu Mingchi angrily shot him to the ground with his spear. "If Wan'er gets into any trouble, I'll grind you to dust."
After saying this, he hurriedly inquired about the situation in the palace. Upon learning that Ji Ningxi had taken people to chase Wan'er and the emperor, Fu Mingchi became extremely anxious and directly ordered the Shenwei Army: "Everyone, listen to my order. Follow me out of the West City to rescue the emperor."
Commander Qian raised his eyebrows: "Prince Yongning, didn't you hear just now that the Queen Mother and the Imperial Seal are both in the Cining Palace..."
"Asshole," Fu Mingchi interrupted him angrily, "The Divine Might Army has always been His Majesty's personal army. Don't forget your duties."
Even if the few men under Prince Qi occupied the Cining Palace, they would not be able to cause any trouble. On the contrary, Gu Tingchen, that devil, still had tens of thousands of imperial guards under his command. If he knew that Wan'er had plotted against him, he would definitely not let her off easily if he caught up with her.
He immediately ordered Han Jin to open the city gate, and Fu Mingchi led the Shenwei army and marched non-stop towards the west of the city.
......
Ye Wanshu took the emperor and hid from place to place all the way. After finally escaping from the palace, she wanted to find a private house to hide temporarily, but she never expected that Ji Ningxi and the people from Prince Qi's Mansion would chase them out.
Thinking about how Gu Tingzhou led the Cavalry Division in a bloody battle for two hours in front of the Yangxin Palace, but Prince Qi never showed up, she now roughly understood the reason.
I'm afraid it's my half-sister who's causing trouble.
This man is really stupid. Prince Qi has missed the best opportunity. Instead of concentrating all his efforts to control Queen Mother Gu, he sent his men to chase after himself and the deposed emperor. I'm afraid he did this to vent his personal anger.
Now that she was able to escape from the palace, she must not fall into the hands of this fool again.
He immediately took out a thick stack of banknotes from his pocket and threw them into the air. Passersby around him saw the white banknotes and rushed forward to grab them.
Seeing a carriage pull up next to her, Ye Wanshu threw five silver notes to the coachman and said bluntly, "I'll use these notes to exchange for this carriage."
The coachman looked at the 500 taels of silver and smiled from ear to ear. He immediately gave up the carriage. Ye Wanshu helped the emperor get on the carriage quickly and ordered the eunuch to drive the horse quickly to the west.
Listening to the shouting behind him getting farther and farther away, the emperor still felt a little uneasy: "Girl, do you think Prince Yongning dares to enter Lin'an this time?"
"Your Majesty should trust the person you choose," Ye Wanshu said with a firm look in her eyes, "He will definitely come."
The emperor sighed softly, "I'm afraid he's just thinking about that imperial seal."
This question stumped Ye Wanshu.
In comparison, at this critical juncture, for Fu Mingchi, taking down Empress Dowager Gu and the imperial seal is indeed the best option.
Helping the emperor regain the throne would be somewhat troublesome.
After all, no one would be willing to step down as crown prince if they could become emperor directly.
She returned to Lin'an this time to help Fu Mingchi defend the king. If he could really control the empress dowager and seize the imperial seal, she could also retire with honor.
"Your Majesty, if Prince Yongning chooses the jade seal, will you hate him?" Ye Wanshu asked directly without beating around the bush.
Emperor Zhaolie smiled faintly: "Who in the world doesn't yearn for that throne? Since I have chosen him, I naturally have no regrets. I only hope that he will not let me down, and will not let down this world."
Thinking about the years of open and covert struggles with the Empress Dowager, and the fact that today there was finally a winner, Emperor Zhaolie felt much more indifferent.
Seeing the hint of worry on his face, Ye Wanshu guessed that the emperor was worried that he would have no chance of survival today.
"Your Majesty, we must not give up until the very last moment," Ye Wanshu advised, "I will definitely help Your Majesty escape."
Listening to the sound of galloping horses approaching from behind, Ye Wanshu said calmly, "If I am destined to die today, I am willing to die with Your Majesty."
Emperor Zhaolie was touched by her integrity and nodded with satisfaction: "As expected of Ji Yuan's daughter."
The carriage sped westward, and no one knew how long it had traveled. The carriage became increasingly swaying, and the pursuers behind were getting closer and closer. Ye Wanshu looked back through the gap and saw several archers shooting arrows into the carriage.
"Your Majesty, be careful."
Ye Wanshu shouted and quickly pulled the emperor down.
The carriage shook violently for a while and suddenly overturned to the ground.
Hearing the shouts and cries of killing coming from behind, Ye Wanshu hurriedly pulled the emperor out of the carriage. Seeing that the old eunuch had been hit by a stray arrow and was pinned under the horse, she had no choice but to support the emperor and run forward desperately.
"My dear sister, you can't escape today. Hurry and hand His Majesty over to me. I can still leave you with an intact body."
Hearing Ji Ningxi's provocative voice behind her, Ye Wanshu looked up and saw that there was no way out.
I ran to the edge of the cliff and looked down, all I could see was the turbulent river.
Emperor Zhaolie closed his eyes helplessly: "Girl, I have implicated you."
"Your Majesty, you're joking," Ye Wanshu said disapprovingly, "Even if Your Majesty wasn't here, my sister would never have let me live."
"Your Majesty, I mean no offense. As long as you hand over this bitch beside you to me and issue an edict to appoint Prince Qi as the crown prince, I will ensure that you will enjoy wealth and glory for the rest of your life." Ji Ningxi came forward with her men and advised loudly.
"Miss Ji is truly foolish." Emperor Zhaolie curled his lips in disdain. "I already issued an edict to appoint a crown prince when I was in power. Now that I've abdicated, how can I issue another edict to appoint a crown prince?"
"I advise Your Majesty to reconsider." Prince Qi said unhappily, "Even if Your Majesty refuses to issue this edict today, my father can still succeed to the throne smoothly."
