Chapter 3 The Princess of a Fallen Kingdom
Three days later
Emperor Shen received news that Luo Sheng was dead, killed by Qing Yu.
As for Qingyu? She was killed by Luo Xi, Luo Sheng's own sister.
Now, the leader of the old regime is Luo Xi.
He also received news that most of the people from the old dynasty were now on Longhu Mountain.
Longhu Mountain is strategically located, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Emperor Shen thought about it seriously, and then sent General Meng and the Third Prince Shen An to Longhu Mountain, instructing them to kill Luo Xi.
As a prince, Shen An was sent to stabilize the morale of the army.
He was not favored by Emperor Shen because his birth mother was just a lowly palace maid.
Emperor Shen felt that Shen An was dead, so be it. He had so many princes; even if one was gone, there were others. He wasn't worried about having no one to inherit his throne.
Shen An is a prince, so it would be a lie to say that he has no ambition for the throne.
He was clever; he knew what the Emperor was thinking. He was somewhat disheartened, but more than that, he was unwilling to accept defeat.
He planned to cooperate with Luo Xi, and then, after he ascended the throne, he would marry her.
He had an androgynous appearance, and many noble ladies in the capital were fond of him. He thought Luo Xi would probably like him too.
Two weeks later,
Longhu Mountain.
Luo Xi stood on the mountaintop, looking down, and asked, "How many people have come?"
Li Jie: "Meng He and Shen An brought about 50,000 people with them."
Luo Xi nodded.
At the foot of Longhu Mountain, Luo Xi had someone sabotage the only path leading up the mountain, ensuring that they would never return.
At this moment, down the mountain.
Several swarms of poisonous bees flew out from all directions, and General Meng and his men were surrounded by the bees.
"Ahhh!"
What kind of bee is this?
"Ah, this bee is poisonous."
One by one, soldiers collapsed from poisoning, foaming at the mouth, and died...
In the end, fewer than ten thousand people survived, and among them was Chen An. Because he was fully armed, the poisonous bees had no way to penetrate him and could not sting him.
Then, they triggered a mechanism on the ground, and tens of thousands of arrows shot out from the bamboo forest. Someone was struck by an arrow, foamed at the mouth, and died...
"Watch out, the arrows are poisoned too!!!"
They had barely survived the ordeal of poisonous bees not long ago. Now, they've stepped on a trap.
Many of them were exhausted, unable to dodge in time, and were stabbed by arrows or poisoned to death.
In the end, only a few people were left alive.
An hour later,
Mountain top.
When Shen An saw Luo Xi, he was inevitably stunned by her beauty. "Don't kill me, I want to cooperate with you."
Luo Xi: "Cooperation? Cooperate on what?"
"I will help you kill my father, so that you can avenge your father and the others. If you help me become emperor, I will make you empress."
Luo Xi: !!!
Okay, you don't need to listen anymore.
Luo Xi stood up, drew her sword, and beheaded him.
She said coldly, "Chop him up and throw him to feed the wolves."
Who gave him the confidence to say those words so shamelessly?
Why become empress instead of emperor? Who would be so foolish? It certainly wouldn't be her.
Two weeks later,
The Prince of Huainan's Palace.
Luo Xi appeared in front of Xiao Yan. She looked down at him sitting in a wheelchair and glanced at his legs. "Xiao Yan, I can heal your legs."
Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, then said, "What do you want?"
Luo Xi stated directly, "I want the troops in your hands to help me reclaim the empire that belongs to the Luo family."
