"Your Majesty, rebel troops have stormed the palace!"
Who is it?
"This old servant doesn't know. They were all dressed in black, and I can't tell who they are. Your Majesty, you should hide first."
Emperor Kangwen suddenly burst into laughter, "Good, good, good, as expected of my good son. Help me change my clothes. I want to see which rebellious son it is."
Huang Rensheng was shocked. Although the emperor had fought on the battlefield when he was young, his body was now extremely weak and he could not fight against others.
"Absolutely not, Your Majesty! This old servant will escort Your Majesty to retreat first, and let the Imperial Guards protect Your Majesty first, is that alright?"
At that moment, a commotion arose outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how are you, Your Majesty?"
Huang Rensheng was overjoyed upon hearing this, "Your Majesty, it's the Empress, it's Her Majesty the Empress."
The palace doors were pushed open, and the Empress, looking terrified, rushed to Emperor Kangwen's side, "Your Majesty, are you alright, Your Majesty?"
"Why has the Empress come?"
"Your Majesty, I am worried about you. Your Majesty, let my godson escort you away first."
Emperor Kangwen looked at his godson who had followed the Empress in and felt somewhat gratified.
Yun Gan stepped forward to support Emperor Kangwen, saying, "Father, I will take you away first."
Emperor Kangwen did not refuse and allowed Yun Gan to help him walk outside.
Several guards escorted the group forward.
The group arrived at Yongping Palace Square, where Yun Shao and Wang Jin stood in front of them, swords in hand.
"Third brother, it's you! How dare you force the emperor to abdicate? Aren't you afraid of being cursed by the world?" Yun Gan's face was full of anger when he saw Yun Shao.
Yun Shao laughed nonchalantly, "In this world, the victor is king and the loser is a bandit. I am the son of the Emperor, and the Emperor's days are numbered. What's wrong with me inheriting the throne?"
“Father, the entire palace is now under my control. As long as you write the abdication edict now and pass the throne to me, I guarantee that you can live out these last two months in peace.”
"You unfilial son!" Emperor Kangwen roared.
"Father, it doesn't matter if you don't write it. As long as you and my elder brother die in the palace today, Yunqi will be my empire!" Yun Shao waved his hand dismissively, and the men in black behind him rushed forward and began fighting with the guards in front of Emperor Kangwen.
"Yun Shao, do you think you can take over this palace?" Empress Sun shouted angrily.
"Mother, you and the eldest prince are both in dire straits. Perhaps if you kneel down and beg me, I might spare your life out of consideration for the years I have called you Mother."
"Yun Shao, you!" Empress Sun trembled with anger, but she was also very anxious, wondering why he hadn't arrived yet.
Empress Sun had already received news that Wang Jin had secretly led his troops into the capital. She had sent someone to Tianning Temple to deliver a message, ordering 20,000 private soldiers to set off for Yuncheng. Judging by the time, they should have arrived by now.
Ugh!
Several guards were outnumbered and fell one after another.
Soon, the men in black surrounded Emperor Kangwen and his entourage.
"Hahaha, Father, I advise you to write the edict of succession as soon as possible, so you can suffer less, right?" Yun Shao slowly walked towards Emperor Kangwen step by step.
Yun Gan was sweating profusely with nervousness, constantly glancing at Empress Sun, and helping Emperor Kangwen back slowly.
When the third prince comes over, pushing the emperor up should be enough to hold the line for a while.
In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through Yun Gan's mind.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
Suddenly, several arrows shot from the sky, and the men in black surrounding Emperor Kangwen fell one by one, struck by the arrows.
Yun Shao hurriedly looked up and around, "Who, who is it!"
"Charge—!!"
Suddenly, many soldiers rushed out from the four gates: east, west, south, and north.
Empress Sun smiled; her people had finally arrived.
"Haha, Yun Shao, do you think you're the only one with troops? Let me tell you, it's not certain who will win or lose today! Your Majesty, the Third Prince dared to force the palace, he deserves to be torn to pieces. Why don't you write an edict now to pass the throne to your godson? Your Majesty and I will ensure Your Majesty's safety."
Emperor Kangwen's eyes narrowed; he now understood everything.
Haha, they're all his good sons!!!
Empress Sun kept her eyes fixed on Yun Shao, not looking towards the square.
Yun Gan gradually noticed that something was wrong.
