"Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened!"
"The people at the palace gate suddenly rioted and forced their way through the palace gates!"
Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, the commander of the Imperial Guards suddenly rushed over with a grim expression.
"What happened?" the emperor asked, his face grim.
Why did the people suddenly riot?
"Didn't I send you to appease them?"
"Didn't I tell you to tell them that the general's body will be delivered to the palace gates soon?"
"How do you do your job?"
The emperor questioned him with a grim expression.
The Imperial Guard commander hurriedly explained, "Yes, it's the First Prince..."
"The First Prince?"
The old emperor frowned, his heart skipped a beat, and a strong sense of foreboding washed over him.
"What did the eldest prince do?"
The old emperor had a guess in his mind, and stepped forward abruptly, drawing the sword from the waist of the Imperial Guard Commander and holding it to the man's neck.
"Your Highness..."
"The Crown Prince told the people at the palace gate... that the poison in the General's body was a secret palace medicine, and only His Majesty had the antidote..."
The commander of the Imperial Guards closed his eyes, looking as if he were ready to die.
Upon seeing this, the old emperor tightened his grip on his sword.
Treason! ! !
He knew this rebellious son wouldn't behave!
Unexpectedly, no sooner had Qin Wan died than this rebellious son couldn't sit still and started to rebel!
Thinking of this, a strong sense of malevolence appeared in the old emperor's eyes.
He should have dealt with this unfilial son first before dealing with Qin Wan!
Thinking of this, the old emperor raised his leg and kicked the commander of the Imperial Guards hard in the leg.
"waste!"
"Such a huge commotion occurred at the palace gate, and you just stood by and watched the First Prince slander me?"
Upon hearing the old emperor's words, the officials present exchanged bewildered glances, and even the commander of the Imperial Guards' expression changed.
"Your Majesty, I tried to stop them, but the First Prince has allied with the Feng family..."
The Feng family?
As soon as those two words were uttered, everyone's attention immediately focused on Feng Yurou.
"No, it's impossible..."
“The Feng family is loyal to His Majesty, how could they possibly help the First Prince? Impossible…” Feng Yurou denied in a trembling voice.
What happened?
Why would the Feng family suddenly help the eldest prince rebel?
What exactly happened?
How did things turn out like this?
A sense of foreboding rose in Feng Yurou's heart.
She felt things were getting increasingly out of control...
First of all, Qin Wan, this phoenix girl, died too easily.
Then came the sudden rebellion of the eldest prince...
The turmoil among the people of Shengjing...
The unusual behavior of the Feng family...
What exactly happened?
The complex thoughts only paused in her mind for a moment before Feng Yurou's murderous gaze turned towards Qin Wan and Qi Xiao.
"Qin Wan!"
"You're not dead, are you?"
"You're the mastermind behind all of this, aren't you?"
Feng Yurou seemed a little agitated, and in a moment of loss of control, she drew her sword and rushed towards Ji Wenruo's location.
Ji Wenruo's pupils contracted sharply...
At the critical moment, a long, slender hand grabbed his collar and pulled him away to the side.
The next second, a familiar girl's body was placed on a tree branch next to him.
Yes……
Even in the face of danger, even if Qin Wan faked her death, even if he placed Qin Wan on the cold ground, Qi Xiao's strong possessiveness still prevented him from handing Qin Wan over to Ji Wenruo.
"Stay with her!"
"If you dare to make her lose a single hair..."
Qi Xiao narrowed his phoenix eyes and stared at Ji Wenruo with a dangerous look, threatening her.
Unexpectedly, Ji Wenruo was very sensible and raised her sword to protect Qin Wan before he could finish speaking.
"Even if it means death, I will protect Wandi!"
"I will absolutely not allow anyone to touch her!"
Seeing Ji Wenruo's resolute expression, Qi Xiao was still unhappy that he had to keep Qin Wan company.
But Feng Yurou's sword came with overwhelming force, giving him no chance to react. A fierce glint flashed in Qi Xiao's eyes, and he raised his sword to attack Feng Yurou.
"Clang clang clang!"
The sound of swords clashing echoed throughout the Imperial Hospital.
Seeing Feng Yurou and Qi Xiao locked in a fierce battle, the old emperor's malicious gaze fell on Qin Wan and Ji Wenruo.
The eldest prince joined forces with the Feng family to rebel.
They also incited the people of Shengjing City to join in.
The current situation is very unfavorable to him; he must, he absolutely must, capture Qin Wan!
Whether dead or alive!
Thinking of this, the old emperor cast a sinister glance at the commander of the Imperial Guard beside him.
"you go!"
"Bring Qin Wan here!"
The Imperial Guard commander was taken aback. "Wasn't the General dead...?"
"I want to see him alive, or I want his body if he's dead!"
Upon hearing the emperor's words, the commander of the Imperial Guards immediately understood and charged toward Qin Wan and Ji Wenruo with his sword drawn.
Faced with the Imperial Guard Commander's menacing advance, Ji Wenruo tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword, his palms gradually becoming damp...
Just then, a commotion arose, a chaotic mix of shouts from the crowd, the clashing of horses' hooves, the clanging of swords, and the sounds of fighting...
"Protect the Emperor!"
"Protect the Emperor!!!"
"The eldest prince has forced the emperor to abdicate and rebel!"
"Quickly, protect His Majesty and get him out of here!!!"
The commander of the Imperial Guards turned around and saw the eldest prince riding a horse, sword in hand, charging towards the old emperor.
His expression changed drastically. Ignoring Qin Wan and Ji Wenruo who were standing nearby, he turned around and rushed to the old emperor, protecting him tightly.
Seeing the Imperial Guard Commander leave, Ji Wenruo breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief.
Thank goodness...
It's good that you're gone...
Otherwise, he was truly afraid he wouldn't be able to protect Wandi...
Thinking of this, a deep look of pain and self-reproach appeared on Ji Wenruo's pale face.
If only he could be like the Seventh Prince...
He's highly skilled in martial arts, so he can protect Wan'er...
Thinking of this, Ji Wenruo's body suddenly relaxed, and her weak and thin body took two steps back almost imperceptibly.
Seeing this, Qin Wan reached out and placed her hand on his back, her concerned voice following...
"Is my brother alright?"
"Wan Di?" Ji Wenruo froze, her eyes widening as she turned to look at Qin Wan in disbelief.
“Wan Di, you…”
Ji Wenruo exclaimed in surprise, subconsciously glancing around, afraid that Qin Wan's sudden "resurrection" would be discovered.
"Don't worry, brother, they can't take care of me right now."
"Even if they find out I faked my death, they can't do anything to me."
As she spoke, Qin Wan pulled Ji Wenruo up into the tree, their bodies hidden by the dense foliage.
Looking through the gaps in the branches at the chaotic scene of fighting below, Qin Wan showed no reaction. Ji Wenruo, who had been protected by the Prince of Huainan's mansion since childhood, was seeing such a bloody scene for the first time...
His face immediately turned pale...
Qin Wan glanced at Ji Wenruo, and after confirming that he was alright, she turned her gaze back to Qi Xiao and Feng Yurou.
Watching the two fighting fiercely not far away, Qin Wan narrowed her eyes, a glint of malice flashing across them.
Feng Yurou's martial arts skills are actually that high?
He's been fighting Qi Xiao for so long and he's still holding his own...
This woman really kept it well hidden...
