Chapter 399 It’s Impossible to Remain Indifferent
However, the only response they got was Zhen Bi'e's wild laughter.
She has been waiting for this day for a long time, and now that it has finally come, how could she miss any opportunity?
Other concubines might be spared, but these concubines who gave birth to princes must die.
Not only will they die, but their sons will not survive either.
Cut the grass at its roots, this is well known.
This is the sadness of being a royal family. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. In all royal families, this idiom will be fully demonstrated.
If her son loses this battle, then their fate will be his own.
At this moment, Concubine Yu was completely dumbfounded.
Her son had already told her a little bit before, saying that he would be fine.
But what about now? It doesn't look like everything is fine.
At this time, Concubine Yu thought of Yu Mengqing who was far away in the border.
She didn't know if she could turn the tide, but as a woman, she was able to capture two cities in just two years.
This shows that she is not an ordinary woman at all.
She must have abilities that others don't have, and she might even be more powerful than Chu Shiheng.
So, she must live.
Not only does she have to survive, but Bian Shixiang must also survive.
She believed that Yu Mengqing would definitely lend them a helping hand.
And for some reason, Concubine Yu always felt that Yu Mengqing seemed to have a trick up her sleeve.
Besides, this time the attempt to force the emperor to abdicate was too smooth, wasn't it?
Throughout the dynasties, there have been many cases of forcing the emperor to abdicate, but never as smoothly as it is now.
No matter how strong the Pingding Marquis Mansion is, with the Guo Mansion and the Xue Marquis Mansion, it will not be completely powerless to resist.
Recalling the words Chu Shixiang had always used to comfort her and told her not to worry, Concubine Yu suddenly shuddered.
As if he had thought of something, he perked up.
Looking at Concubine Lin and Concubine Jie at this time, everyone relaxed.
"Don't worry! The emperor will be fine." Concubine Yu whispered to comfort the two of them.
Unexpectedly, the two of them completely ignored her words, as if they didn't hear them.
Concubine Yu was not angry, and it was inconvenient for her to say too many things.
But at this moment she firmly believed that her son would be fine.
And as far as she knew, her son had been exchanging letters with Yu Mengqing who was far away in the border area.
Yu Mengqing must know these things.
Knowing these things, it is impossible for her to remain indifferent.
The more Concubine Yu thought about it, the more she realized that everything seemed to have been arranged.
Imperial Palace.
Chu Murong looked at everything in front of him coldly. It would be a lie to say that he was not anxious, but he was confident that Chu Shiheng would definitely arrive in time.
He never let him down.
"Father, let's go inside and take shelter first. It's too dangerous here!" Chu Shixiang said to Chu Murong.
The fight outside was already intense, and arrows were flying everywhere.
At this time, the emperor was still standing here, but several princes had already hidden in the Yangxin Palace at the same time.
Because they all know that, at the moment, the Hall of Mental Cultivation is the safest place.
When forcing abdication, the last place to go must be the Yangxin Palace.
Although the Imperial Guards usually do not show up, they basically stay near the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The last place the emperor could hide would definitely be the Yangxin Palace.
"Go in? Go in and listen to how they make me surrender?" Chu Murong said sarcastically.
Chu Murong could never have dreamed that at this moment, his son's first thought was not how to protect him as his father, but how to get Chu Shiwei to let them go.
Normally, they would listen to and obey his words, but Chu Murong himself knew that most of that was just an illusion.
But he didn't expect that they were unwilling to even pretend.
That would be fine, but haven’t they ever thought about why things are so smooth for the prince?
Or is it that I, as a father, am too incompetent?
Can’t even raise the son next to you?
"Father, didn't you tell us before? When people are in a critical moment, it is human nature to think about themselves. We just need to take things easy." Chu Shixiang comforted him.
In fact, she learned a lot from the letters between her and her cousin's wife.
Including many truths in life.
As the saying goes, listening to one word from a wise man is worth ten years of reading. At this moment, Chu Shixiang really understood it.
Hearing this, Chu Murong sighed and finally said, "Go in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw an arrow flying past his eyes.
"Be careful!" shouted the guards who suddenly appeared from nowhere.
At the same time, the big knife in his hand was swung towards the bow and arrow.
Seeing this, Chu Shixiang, who was standing next to Chu Murong, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
If the Royal Guards hadn't appeared just now, the arrow would have most likely...
Chu Murong also reacted at this time. Following the direction of the arrow, he saw his once most beloved son, Chu Shiwei, wearing armor and sitting on a warhorse.
At this moment, no one knew how much pain Chu Murong was feeling.
On the surface, he looked extremely cold, but in fact, only he himself knew what he had been going through when he knew that he was planning to rebel.
Chu Shiwei also saw Chu Murong at this time, but the distance was too far and he couldn't see the expression on his face for a while.
He showed no mercy in this arrow.
Unexpectedly, he actually had guards around him.
Because of the peace in the palace, he has never met the Royal Guards until now.
He had heard his grandfather mention before that Chu Murong would definitely be surrounded by imperial guards.
At that time, he was still skeptical in his heart, but he didn't expect that it was actually true.
He really has guards around him.
But even so, it couldn't stop Chu Shiwei's plan.
What's more, the morale of the troops under his command is high now. If he gives up, he must be crazy.
Thinking of this, Chu Shiwei shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Charge, kill them!"
"If you can't hide, then get in the skirt: Ba Ba Qi Jiu San Qi Wu Ba."
Sure enough, after hearing this, morale became even higher.
You know, if you accomplish something at this time, no matter how big or small, it is an opportunity to change your destiny.
Once the abdication is successful, those who are lucky can be promoted to a fifth or fourth rank military general.
Those who are a little less fortunate and don't get an official position will still get a lot of money.
What's more, the strength of both sides is now clear at a glance.
The winner and loser are basically clear.
As soon as Chu Murong entered the Yangxin Palace, several of his sons came over one after another and asked anxiously:
"Father, what should we do now? The Crown Prince is about to attack. What should we do?"
The person who said this was the second prince, Chu Shirong, who was also the son of Concubine Jie.
This person doesn't have a bad heart, but he acts impulsively and is very afraid of death.
