Over the years, although the emperor seemed strong, he was actually lonely. As his close attendant, how could he not understand this?
But it’s really hard to say about the emperor’s body…
Because of the banquet today, many people were drunk and went to bed early after returning home.
The same is true in the palace, which is much quieter at night than usual.
However, on this quiet night, a palace coup was quietly unfolding.
It was midnight, the time for the palace guards to change shifts.
A group of well-trained people in black clothes and masks came out of the dark night
Sneak into the palace.
They moved lightly and nimbly, and soon figured out every passage in the palace. After eliminating the guards at each sentry post, they pretended to be guards themselves.
After the patrolling guards left, the leader fired a flare into the sky, and then the other accomplices also fired flares in different directions.
A bright light flashed in the sky.
Immediately afterwards, the second round of flares was also launched.
Round after round of flares rose up, shining brightly in the dark night sky.
At this time, the patrol teams in the palace also split up to check the situation, but unfortunately they had no idea that this split up gave others an opportunity to take advantage of.
Teams of men in black suits rushed in from all directions, holding scimitars and bows and arrows, and their movements were swift and clean.
In an instant, the entire palace fell into chaos.
"Oh no! An assassin has broken into the palace!"
"Hurry, go call someone!"
For a moment, the eunuchs and maids in the palace screamed and ran around to avoid the attack.
The Fourth Prince, who should have been fast asleep, appeared at the palace gate in a tight suit, riding a tall horse. He held a long sword in his hand, and there were three thousand elite soldiers behind him.
Li Yuanfu looked in the direction of the imperial palace with a resolute look.
"Fourth Prince, what are you doing?"
After receiving the news, the commander of the Imperial Guard rushed to the palace gate without stopping, and when he arrived, he saw this scene.
He stared at Li Yuanfu with his eyes wide open in disbelief, and asked in disbelief: "Fourth Prince, are you planning a rebellion?!"
"What rebellion? I am helping my father to purge the emperor's court."
Li Yuanfu said coldly, with a hint of sarcasm on his face, "Don't you think that father is becoming less and less like a ruler?"
"Not only has that enchanting concubine been completely bewitching my father these past few years, but now she's even planning to make a six-month-old child the crown prince? This is sheer utter ridiculousness!"
Li Yuanfu pointed his sword towards the palace as he spoke, "Since my father is old and insane, why don't I protect our Li family's kingdom on his behalf?"
He waved his hand, and three thousand elite soldiers followed. The clanging of horse hooves and the metallic sounds of swords clashing intertwined, which was particularly harsh in the lonely night.
Li Yuanfu led his men into the palace and killed all the guards and royal guards who tried to stop them along the way.
The soldiers around him were also unwavering. The sharp steel knives in their hands cut through the air, slicing through the air with a sharp whistling sound. Heads fell one after another, and corpses fell from the sky...
A massacre broke out in the palace, with blood everywhere and screams everywhere.
Not only the palace guards, eunuchs and maids were panicked, but even the commander of the imperial guards guarding the city was panicked.
He quickly summoned his own men for reinforcement, but there were only a thousand people in the palace, and three hundred of them had been transferred away by the eleventh prince. How could the remaining people be a match for the 3,000 Jingwei?
But no matter what, he would defend the palace for the emperor even if he died tonight.
At this time, Li Yuanfu had already rushed into the palace with a group of people, preparing to go straight to the backyard of the palace.
…
"My Queen! My Queen! Something bad has happened!"
Lian Zhi rushed in from outside in a panic, and was stunned when she saw Shen Wangshu sitting in front of the mirror with a lamp, painting her eyebrows and eyes.
"Why are you so flustered?"
Shen Wangshu put down his eyebrow pencil, turned his head, and asked lightly.
Lian Zhi hurried over, "Your Majesty, why are you getting up so late at night to dress up? Also, did you know? The Fourth Prince has surrounded the palace with his troops!"
"Yes, a little faster than I expected."
Hearing this, Lian Zhi was even more surprised, "My Lady, you already knew this?"
Shen Wangshu nodded, “Otherwise, what do you think I’m doing sitting here in the middle of the night?”
"Then what should we do?"
"What are you panicking about?" Shen Wangshu raised his eyebrows and smiled, but his eyes were cold. "Hasn't he come to kill us yet?"
Lian Zhi: "..."
"My Lady, why don't we go hide somewhere first? I'm worried..."
The words came to her lips, but she swallowed them back.
But Shen Wangshu understood what she meant, "Relax, you have to face what you have to face, you can't avoid it."
"What about the little prince?"
Lianzhi suddenly thought of the little prince's safety, "No, I have to go and see him to feel at ease!"
After saying that, she lifted up her skirt and ran towards the door. When Shen Wangshu was about to call her, he heard a "bang" and the door was violently kicked open.
Lianzhi was so scared that he fell to the ground, looking at the group of people who broke into the house in horror.
The man in the lead was tall and burly, exuding a fierce aura and with a fierce look in his eyes.
He glanced around the room and his gaze finally fell on Shen Wangshu. A hint of bloodthirstiness flashed in his eyes, and then he snorted coldly, raised his hand and whipped him, knocking over the tables and chairs beside him.
