Chapter 535 Extra Chapter: Nothing Left Unfinished (Twenty-Three)
Seeing the panicked expressions on her ministers' faces, Princess Chaoyang was not angry at all; instead, she felt a strange excitement.
"Ladies and gentlemen, have you heard the contents of the imperial edict? It was written by my father himself, there is absolutely no forgery!"
Upon hearing Princess Chaoyang's words, the murmurs below grew even louder, but the loudest shouts undoubtedly came from Prince Lu.
"Is Your Majesty delirious from your illness, daring to issue such an edict!"
Chaoyang, you are just a woman, how can you become the regent princess!
"I don't believe this imperial edict! I demand to see my elder brother!"
Princess Chaoyang laughed arrogantly, "See my father? Fine! You'll have to get his permission first!"
However, my father has always disliked meeting with unauthorized persons, so it's uncertain whether you, Uncle, can obtain his permission!
The King of Lu trembled with rage, "You!"
Princess Chaoyang's eyes turned cold, and she suddenly made a gesture behind her. Then, a large group of soldiers rushed out from around the banquet.
Seeing the fully armed soldiers, the courtiers were terrified and then subconsciously looked at Lu Heng.
Seeing that Lu Heng remained completely calm even at this moment, they felt inexplicably at ease.
Follow the boss, and you won't be afraid of getting hit by a flying knife!
The soldiers' primary target was still King Lu, and they quickly moved forward to surround him.
But since the King of Lu dared to come here alone to the banquet, he must have been prepared.
His eyes narrowed, and with a wave of his hand, a squad of elite soldiers rushed forward.
The two groups glared at each other, temporarily locked in a standoff.
Seeing the latest group of people appear, Princess Chaoyang was furious, "Fine!"
"How dare a vassal king wage war within the imperial city! This is tantamount to treason! Guards, seize him!"
The Prince of Lu showed no fear whatsoever, saying, "You are nothing more than a princess. To wage war in the capital is treason!"
"Guards! Seize Princess Chaoyang! My brother must be imprisoned by her. We must rescue him!"
Just as the two groups, armed with sharp weapons, were glaring at each other, a fierce battle seemed imminent, when suddenly a faint, cool fragrance filled the air...
The fragrance was faint and subtle, yet it was immediately noticeable, and within two breaths, one could feel the scent filling their entire lungs.
By the time they realized it, they were already unconscious...
After everyone present had fallen, a group of people dressed in black emerged from the shadows.
After they came out, they first checked whether anyone was conscious. Only after confirming that everyone had been drugged did they stride to the center of the field.
Upon seeing Lu Heng lying on the side, the newcomer quickly took out a jade bottle from his pocket, uncorked it, and shook it under Lu Heng's nose.
Stimulated by the cool medicine in the jade bottle, Lu Heng quickly regained consciousness, "Pei Ran..."
The person who arrived was Lu Peiran. Seeing that his father was awake, Lu Peiran smiled and said, "Father, I told you my senior brother is very powerful!"
Lu Heng stared in amazement at the people lying sprawled haphazardly in the center of the arena. "Indeed... amazing!"
Did you ask your senior brother what this sleeping potion was made of?
How can such a small amount exert such a powerful effect over such a large area?
Lu Peiran gave him a disapproving look. "Father! This is definitely my senior brother's secret! How could you pry into it like that!"
Lu Heng was annoyed by this remark. "You've practically told him everything about our family's wealth, can't I even ask him about one particular herb he has?"
