Chapter 222 Rebellion
Fu Hai said, "The third prince born to Madam Ding Fei was killed by the Yao family as soon as he was born..."
The old emperor opened his eyes wide, a look of disbelief on his face.
He never expected that his son, King Hua Yan, whom he had doted on for so many years, was actually a fake!
It's not his blood at all.
The old emperor was furious and stood up suddenly. His whole body was freezing cold and stiff.
"What did you say?"
"Say it again..."
Fu Hai knelt on the ground in fear, not daring to raise his head.
"Yao betrayed you! King Hua Yan is a fake!"
The old emperor staggered and finally stood firm.
Fu Hai kept his head on the ground and continued speaking.
"Besides, Yao Shi has done more than just that!"
"She actually colluded with the city defense forces, the imperial guards, and the generals in the court."
"Among them, Lord Zhang Le and Lord Shen Qiu of the city defense army are both from the Yao family."
"According to accurate information, Yao is planning to attack the city tonight..."
When the old emperor heard this, his body swayed, and finally he sat back on the bed. He slammed the edge of the bed.
He said angrily, "What a Yao family, what a Prince An, what a Prince Hua Yan!"
"How dare they confuse the royal bloodline and play me in their hands!"
"They are damned!"
"It would be too easy for them to be executed in the autumn. They should be dragged out and torn into pieces..."
The old emperor was filled with rage and was on the verge of exploding. This time he no longer looked at Concubine Li's body, nor did he feel any deep affection for her.
He quickly left Fengming Palace and went to the palace where he handled government affairs. He took out the tiger talisman from a secret compartment, hesitated for a moment, and finally handed it to Fu Hai.
He said to Fu Hai, "You, go to the Rongguo Mansion in person and give this tiger talisman to Liu Weirong."
"Let Liu Weirong take the tiger talisman and go to the surrounding cities to mobilize troops. Let him swear to defend the imperial city to the death!"
Fu Hai's eyes flickered slightly, he nodded and left quickly.
The old emperor looked at his leaving figure, and suddenly seemed to faint, and fell into his chair.
He started breathing heavily.
He subconsciously touched his chest and felt a stuffy sensation, as if a huge rock was pressing on it.
At this time, the sun was setting.
A large patch of orange-red light slowly turned into bright red, as if the entire earth was covered with color.
The old emperor pursed his lips and looked at the beautiful sky outside, but his eyes were filled with turmoil.
"It all depends on who is faster..."
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
When Fu Hai went out to deliver the tiger talisman, Zhuang Yan said goodbye to Liu Shiqi and Old Man Zhong. He quietly left the palace and joined his men.
Old man Zhong stayed in the palace where he was temporarily staying and did not come out.
He turned off the lights in the palace and could hear the fighting and shouting outside.
Liu Shiqi quietly hid on the beam of the Hall of Supreme Harmony where the old emperor usually held meetings.
At this time, the old emperor was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and sitting on the dragon throne in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, apparently waiting here for the rebels.
Liu Shiqi was also ready to watch a live version of a rebellion and abdication.
Otherwise, such a big drama is rarely seen in a century, and it would be a waste not to watch it.
The time is probably the end of the You hour.
The old emperor temporarily replaced several leaders of the imperial guards and made a lot of preparations. But they still failed to stop the large number of troops from rushing into the palace.
Soon, the rebels surrounded the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Leading the group were Prince An and Prince Hua Yan, who had been imprisoned by the old emperor.
Even Yao was rescued. Standing next to Prince An.
They stood at the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony with the look of victorious victors.
He shouted at the old emperor to abdicate and even wrote a letter of abdication.
The old emperor closed his eyes, as if he didn't hear anything, and continued to sit upright in the dragon throne.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound.
A group of majestic guards in black armor rushed out from behind the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The number of people was not too large, but they still forced back some of Prince An and his men.
The black-armored guards surrounded the Hall of Supreme Harmony and confronted Anyang and his men.
Prince An gritted his teeth, his eyes full of ferocity.
"These are the black-armored guards around the emperor in the legend!"
King Hua Yan's eyes were filled with shock and fear, "I didn't expect there would actually be Black Armor Guards!"
The number of these black-armored men was not as many as the ones they brought into the palace, but each of them looked to have extraordinary martial arts skills.
If the two sides confront each other head-on, they may not gain anything.
Now, neither side dared to act rashly.
They are all afraid that the other party has a backup plan.
Liu Shiqi was watching from the beam, raising his eyebrows.
The old emperor is indeed an old emperor, and he is still the wisest.
Time passes by little by little.
King Hua Yan and the others were becoming somewhat unstable.
If they fail to capture the old emperor tonight, they and their families will all be exterminated.
Prince Hua Yan said to Prince An in a cold voice, "We can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, I'm afraid the old emperor will have a trick up his sleeve."
Yao also said, "That's right! We can't wait any longer!"
"Our numbers are several times greater than those of the Black Armored Positions!"
"I don't believe it, but I can't beat them!"
"And the Black Armor Guards' fighting power is legendary! Maybe they're not as powerful as we thought!"
"We can't let him fool us and miss this opportunity!"
"I heard that the old emperor has asked Duke Rong to get help..."
Prince An pursed his lips. How could he not know?
He pursed his lips and suddenly gave an order.
"Someone, come on!"
The people brought by Prince An quickly rushed towards the Black Armor Guards.
The two sides soon engaged in a melee, with shouts and the sound of weapons clashing resounding through the sky.
The strong smell of blood enveloped the palace like a mist.
Liu Shiqi looked at the old emperor's hands holding the dragon throne and tightened them. His face was terribly gloomy.
It seemed that he was also panicking.
The sound of fighting lasted for more than an hour.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance.
It was like a huge army rushing towards them.
The old emperor jumped up. He quickly walked to the palace gate.
"Hahaha!"
"My reinforcements have arrived!"
The corners of his mouth curled up in a cold arc.
"Today, I will make sure that all of you rebels will never return..."
The old emperor asked the palace servants to open the door of the hall.
Liu Shiqi came down directly from the roof and hid in the dark. Also looked out the door.
She saw Prince An and the others look back in shock, and then step aside with serious expressions.
Soon, they were surrounded by another group of people.
Liu Shiqi couldn't tell how many people came this time, but the dark crowd filled the open space outside.
In an instant, together with the Black Armor Guards, they sandwiched Prince An and the others.
Prince An and his men were panicked and on guard on both sides.
King An shouted, "Who are you?"
The group of people who suddenly rushed over suddenly made way in the middle.
Liu Shiqi saw that the man walking towards her in armor and with a radiant face was actually her grandfather Liu Weirong.
It was obvious that Liu Weirong took the old emperor's tiger talisman and mobilized troops from several nearby prefectures.
[Ah, grandpa is so handsome! 】
[A handsome old man!] 】
Liu Weirong was stunned and realized that Liu Shiqi was nearby. He looked around but found no trace of him!
At this time, the old emperor ordered him, "Duke Rong, you have come at the right time. Quickly capture the rebels Prince An and Prince Hua Yan!"
"You can execute him right here!"
But Liu Weirong stood there motionless, as if he hadn't heard anything...
