When that day finally arrived, Wei Yunting got up early in the morning and first dressed Jiang Tian in a cloak.
"Our good days are coming soon, just wait a little longer."
To be able to take the capital without firing a single shot was naturally an unexpected bonus for Wei Yunting.
Jiang Tian's attitude made him more concerned about his own safety.
He wasn't alone; Jiang Tian needed his protection.
Be careful in everything you do.
Jiang Tian didn't say much, but simply stood on tiptoe and gently touched his forehead.
Wei Yunting took her hand and placed it on his face, his voice steady and his gaze tender: "Don't worry."
The two didn't waste too much time. Wei Yunting found a capable subordinate to protect Jiang Tian before leaving.
With layers of protection, Jiang Tian was naturally unharmed.
In other people's eyes, she was just a mistress, and no matter how much Wei Yunting doted on her, it wouldn't affect the outcome of the battle.
All eyes were on Wei Yunting and Xiao Sheng.
The two rode tall horses, one handsome and the other resolute, their mere presence enough to impress anyone.
The gates of the capital city slowly opened before the two of them.
The leading official, dressed in his official robes, respectfully announced, "Welcome back to the court, Crown Prince and Prince Shen!"
Xiao Sheng didn't say much. He took the lead, pulling the reins and walking ahead of Wei Yunting.
Upon his return, he naturally had to inherit the throne. In the hearts of the officials, his status was higher than Wei Yunting's, so it was not wrong for him to be ahead of them.
Wei Yunting followed closely behind.
The officials who were supposed to come all came, and those who weren't supposed to come were taken down by this group of officials who had surrendered.
If they defect to Wei Yunting and Xiao Sheng, while leaving behind those traitors and rebels, then the negotiations will be ineffective.
Of course, before choosing to enter the capital, Wei Yunting and Xiao Sheng had already sent out their men to take action.
Entering through the main gate is to win the hearts of the people.
But when it comes to matters of life and death, no one dares to be careless.
Xiao Sheng and Wei Yunting walked in front, followed by a continuous stream of troops.
The people stood on both sides of the road, looking up at them with numb expressions.
No one who has experienced war and lockdowns can remain unchanged.
They didn't know what kind of person Xiao Sheng was, so all they could do was go with the flow.
Throughout the journey, everyone maintained a very serious expression.
There were no mishaps all the way to the palace.
But until the very last moment, no one knows what will happen next.
The moment the palace gates opened, dozens of arrows, seemingly from nowhere, hurtled towards Wei Yunting and Xiao Sheng!
Anticipating that some people might have a backup plan, Wei Yunting and Xiao Sheng did not panic, but instead activated their defenses.
They blocked the arrows as they ran towards the direction from which they were coming.
Wei Yunting was a better rider than Xiao Sheng, and he was able to catch up with Xiao Sheng faster.
Xiao Sheng followed behind him, and saw that someone had fired another arrow from somewhere, heading straight for Wei Yunting.
Without a second thought, he instantly used his sword to deflect the arrow for Wei Yunting.
Wei Yunting turned around, a slight smile playing on his lips, nodded to him, and said nothing.
A complex look flashed in Xiao Sheng's eyes.
He could have chosen not to shield Wei Yunting, but his subconscious made him do it anyway.
During this time, the two had been both teacher and friend, and Xiao Sheng couldn't tell whether Wei Yunting still harbored any animosity towards him.
Finally, the mastermind behind it all was caught; it turned out to be a remnant of the Wei family.
They were just one step away from the throne, but their efforts were in vain. In the end, they made a desperate gamble, but still failed.
These people were beheaded on the spot by Wei Yunting and Xiao Sheng at the palace gate. Their heads rolled all over the ground, and their blood even flowed to the feet of some officials.
They dared not speak and trembled violently.
"Open the palace gates," Xiao Sheng commanded.
"yes."
The palace gates slowly opened, and Xiao Sheng walked in expressionlessly.
The ministers behind him knelt on the ground.
Looking at Xiao Sheng's tall and upright figure, Wei Yunting breathed a slight sigh of relief. As long as he could put Xiao Sheng on the throne, it wouldn't be long before he could be with Jiang Tian forever.
At that moment, he had no idea what would happen next.
