Some well-timed hidden weapons outside the window just happened to help Lu Anyuan escape. Without hesitation, he strode out the door and said to the Fourth Prince, "Sit still, my people will rescue you."
This person doesn't want others to know his existence, just like those unknown foreign aids outside the hospital. Since Yixing doesn't want it, then don't let others know.
More importantly, the Second Prince has already left and must be heading for the palace! We must stop him!
"The traitor has entered the palace, troops, give chase!"
With all his "back-up plans", Lu Anyuan chased all the way along Zhuque South Street. The fire signals from various government offices and armies in the sky had now become daytime fireworks, conveying extremely urgent signals.
If he went there now, he would be unlucky enough to catch the ministers leaving the court. Since that madman, my second brother, had used gunpowder, he might blow all those old guys up. If he was lucky enough not to run into him, then my second brother might be able to directly rush into the Golden Palace with gunpowder on his back and destroy Daxia.
Ever since he mysteriously disappeared from Gushan, Lu Anyuan gradually became convinced that there might be such a secret passage in the imperial palace. How could this not be frightening?
But when he arrived at the gate of the imperial city after galloping all the way and knocking over countless stalls, he found nothing unusual in front of him. Even the imperial city soldiers were looking at him very vigilantly, this prince who led the crowd out and seemed to be trying to force his way into the palace.
"The traitor Lu Chiyan led his men into the palace. Did you see them?"
"We only saw you arriving with your guards, but no one else."
"Damn it." Lu Anyuan turned his horse and looked back at the road he had come from. The ground was covered with civilians injured by his own men, looking rather miserable. The fireworks from the various government offices had not yet completely dissipated, proving that someone had indeed violated the security order. If it wasn't aimed at the palace, then where else could it be?
"Your Highness, Prince Cheng's Palace!" The soldier pointed to a corner outside the palace, where thick black smoke was rising.
"Go and report to the emperor quickly that the second prince has appeared with explosives. Please ask all ministers not to leave the palace for the time being. Leave two people to quickly send the reinforcements to Prince Cheng's Mansion to rescue people, and everyone else follow me!" Running all the way from Zhuque Street to Xuanwu Street, you will reach Uncle Cheng's home.
The gate has now been violently broken open and the situation inside the courtyard is unclear.
"Archers, go up to the walls and follow my orders." Lu Anyuan received his armor from Ah Da and put it on while bravely heading into the palace. Unlike the Fourth Prince's palace, Prince Cheng's palace was large, deep, and long, even housing an artificial lake. The archers outside the gates had no idea what was going on inside.
But at this time, Uncle Cheng Wang should still be in the morning court, and only the princess is at home. Why is he here?
There were servants showing Lu Anyuan the direction along the way, but there was no need for them. With so much smoke, who couldn't see it?
It was not until he walked to where the black smoke was coming from that Lu Anyuan realized that this was his uncle's study.
But now it has been completely changed and turned into a ruin. From time to time, there are some small flames sporadically bursting out from the rubble, proving that it had experienced some unknown changes not long ago.
Ah Da had been following Lu Anyuan. Seeing this, he blurted out, "Your Highness, this doesn't look like arson. Why does it look like an explosion?"
Lu Anyuan frowned, turned around, and saw the princess being hurriedly helped over by the servants.
"Your Highness, is there any secret passage in this study? My second brother must have come straight here just now!"
Princess Cheng had a nervous expression on her face. She had just received an inexplicable report that someone had rushed into the palace, but not many people were injured. The person just went straight to the study. She had just come over to check on the situation.
"Yes, there is a secret room, but we don't know the secret passage."
Lu Anyuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Where is it?"
The princess extended two fingers and pointed out an approximate location to him. Lu Anyuan rushed into the rubble without saying a word and searched for a long time before he found the entrance to the secret passage that was buried on the ground.
Leaning down and walking down, the smoke inside had reached an outrageous concentration, even more than the smoke that Sun Ziyou had thrown into the room, and it was so choking that people couldn't open their eyes.
"Master, there's someone there!" Ah Da rushed in front of Lu Anyuan and pulled away the man's clothes and the dirt on his body. "It's the Second Prince, and he's still breathing..."
Ah Da felt the Second Prince's wound. If he was still breathing a little, it was probably because he was at the end of the retreat and the explosion occurred in front, so he could barely catch his breath.
Lu Anyuan squatted down, pried open the second prince's mouth and forced a pill into his mouth, while looking around at the current environment.
This place was the secret passage beneath the secret chamber the princess had mentioned. It was wide and tall enough for five people to walk side by side, and it was very neatly arranged, unlike the usual narrow passages. As for where this passage ended, there was no need to think about it. The fact that my second brother insisted on coming here under these circumstances only proved that it led to the palace.
"Cough, uh! Cough cough cough... uh uh!" Lu Chiyan moved, albeit with great difficulty, but he was indeed alive. However, his condition was extremely poor. The external injuries that Ah Da could feel were already very serious, not to mention the internal injuries caused by the explosion.
"Second brother is awake?" Lu Anyuan was not worried about people outside coming in for the time being. The passage was full of his own people, and Her Royal Highness the Princess was outside. She was not threatened, so the reinforcements who came later were naturally not in a hurry.
Lu Chiyan struggled to open his eyes. Hmm... if that thing hanging out of his eye socket could be called an eye.
"You..." Although he was stunned by the explosion, if he was still conscious, he would definitely wonder why this bastard is not dead yet?
Lu Anyuan glanced at Ah Da, who replied, "He's dying, it's happening soon."
Okay, that's what I want to say. Since you're dying, there are some things you should talk about: "There is no gold in Qibei at all. I was just playing a trick on you."
Lu Anyuan whispered in his ear about the plan he was most proud of. Although his second brother probably couldn't hear anything now, he still wanted to say it.
"Wu Xueyan's matter was my wife's doing. He Xin and I deceived you earlier, but we still didn't expect you to actually rebel. You're so brave, second brother!"
Lu Anyuan tried to speak faster. Although the Second Prince had taken Mr. Yao's medicine, he looked like he was about to die. However, he could not hear what Lu Anyuan said, but he could feel that he was mocking him and despising him.
So he stretched out his hand and tried his best to strangle Lu Anyuan's neck, but when he stretched out his hand, he saw that his five fingers were bare, with some dust and ashes hanging on them. As for the flesh and blood, it was probably scattered in the wind long ago.
"You..." The second prince turned his eyes towards Lu Anyuan for the last time, and finally fell silent.
