Chapter 396 Chaos in Prince Yong’s Mansion

In Prince Yong's Palace.

The faces of the people who were plotting against the enemy were grim and they felt hopeless.

Although the people surrounding them said that they were doing it in the name of "protecting Prince Yong", everyone knew that this was no different from imprisonment.

Prince Yong couldn't understand why the Xichuan Army's preparations for rebellion had been carried out secretly for so many years and it was not discovered earlier or later, but was discovered just before they took action.

His veins were throbbing wildly, and he was very angry. "Who on earth was the one who exposed this matter?"

Yi Ziyan vaguely heard some rumors, "It is said that it is Changxing Marquis Yang Lie."

When he heard it was him, King Yong became even angrier, "Why is he running to Xichuan instead of staying in Nanyang?"

"It is said that some people in Xichuan who were forced to become bandits fled to Nanyang. He felt something was wrong and sent people to investigate. As a result, they found out that the military officials and bandits in Xichuan were colluding with each other."

This reason seemed reasonable at first glance, but He Wenjun had been doing those things for so many years and had always done them flawlessly. Even though Emperor Zhaowen sent imperial envoys to investigate again and again, no evidence could be found and the matter was eventually left unresolved. How come Yang Lie was able to find evidence just by a casual investigation this time?

Prince Yong gnashed his teeth and said, "This is a deliberate attack! Yang Lie is the prince's man, he must have sent people to secretly keep an eye on the Xichuan Army!"

During this period, they suffered repeated setbacks in the capital, and their subordinates were eliminated one by one. Even he himself almost lost his life and has not recovered yet.

Because of that, I was not on guard and let someone take advantage of such a big loophole!

Now my uncle's family has been imprisoned, and even my mother has been placed under house arrest. Emperor Zhaowen ordered the Nanyang Army to forcefully reorganize the Xichuan Army and cut off all his escape routes.

What hope does he have now?

"Zi Yan, did I lose? Did I lose?"

He staggered and swayed, as if he could not bear the blow.

Yi Ziyan quickly supported him. Although he couldn't see, his voice was full of affection. "My Lord, you still have me. I will never leave you. Don't worry, even if the prince wins, I will never let him have an easy time."

He still has the other half of Qianjinlou. When he finds an opportunity, he will send out a message and let everyone find ways to get close to the prince and deal with him. Even if those forces are powerless to reverse the current situation, they can still bite Xiao Bicheng hard.

Since they are not allowed to have an easy life, no one else can have an easy life!

"Zi Yan, I'm glad to have you." King Yong sighed and reached out to touch his cheek.

The plotters in the palace were already accustomed to the current situation.

But the next moment, a man rushed into the house with a sword in hand, and slashed at them with great force, "I'll kill you!"

Yi Ziyan couldn't see with his eyes, but his body could keenly feel the murderous aura and attacks.

He subconsciously took out a hidden weapon and threw it out, hitting the man in the chest.

Before he could order someone to arrest the assassin, he heard the trembling voice of Prince Yong beside him, "Yier!"

A group of assassins also shouted in panic, "Prince!"

The whole hall was instantly in chaos.

"I...Prince, I thought he was an assassin..." Yi Ziyan was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He wanted to explain, but was pushed away by Prince Yong.

"Someone, call the imperial physician! Call the imperial physician!"

But now their entire palace is under imprisonment, where can they call for a royal physician?

They could only find an elderly doctor in the mansion to treat Xiao Yi.

But after the palace doctor examined him, he shook his head, saying he was powerless. "This hidden weapon went straight to the vital point and was poisoned. It was so cruel. It was obviously intended to kill the prince. I am really powerless to save him."

When Prince Yong heard this, he collapsed in his chair. He turned around and saw Xiao Yi spitting out large mouthfuls of black blood. His heart felt as if it was being stabbed by a knife.

He walked to the bedside and grabbed his son's hand, "Yier, Yier, look at your father, your father is here..."

But Xiao Yi used up his last bit of strength to pull his hand back, "Don't... touch me... I think it's dirty..."

When King Yong heard this, he was struck by lightning, "What did you say?"

But I am his father!

Xiao Yi spat out blood and said word by word, "You think I don't know how my mother died... Actually... I know everything..."

When he was seven years old that year, his mother suddenly lost her appetite and vomited every day. The imperial physician said that his mother was pregnant with a baby.

His mother asked him whether he wanted a little brother or a little sister.

He was so distressed, he wanted a little brother to play with him, but he also wanted a cute and obedient sister.

My mother said that your father has gone out on official business and will be back soon. When the time comes, you can tell him the good news, okay?

He responded happily, and counted the days on his fingers, waiting for the day when his father would return.

But he was too playful and didn't think that his father would come home early, so he went out to play.

While the mother was walking in the palace, she accidentally heard a blushing and heart-pounding sound.

Yi Ziyan shouted so loudly, as if he was deliberately trying to lead his mother over.

When the mother saw her husband doing such a disgusting thing with another man, her disgust reached its peak.

She suppressed her disgust, turned around and ran, but because she was so sad, her tears blurred her eyes and she fell into the pond.

His father had heard the noise, but he was so obsessed with lust that he thought it was just a kitten or a puppy, and thus missed the best opportunity to save the person...

When he returned home, he saw only his mother's pale body soaked in water and her slightly bulging belly.

Everyone told him that his mother slipped and fell into the water and drowned.

Over the years, my father has claimed that he still has deep feelings for his former princess and has not remarried.

But only those in the palace knew how hypocritical his father was.

My father has always been surrounded by male favorites, especially Yi Ziyan, who has been with him for so many years.

He desperately wanted to escape from this evil den, and spent his time drinking and partying outside, trying his best not to see those disgusting scenes.

But, they just chose to be so affectionate in front of so many people, without any restraint and without any hesitation!

He hates...

I hate myself for not being able to kill that bastard Yi Ziyan and avenge my mother!

I also hate my own father, the king, who is evil and dirty!

I hate myself even more, why was I born into this world!

Prince Yong defended himself, "Your mother's death was really an accident. She was narrow-minded and intolerant. How many dignitaries in the capital don't keep male favorites? Why can others keep male favorites, but I can't? No matter who I like, her position as princess will not be shaken! She got angry with me for such a small matter, and in the end, not only did she kill herself, but also killed my child. I still feel wronged."

When Xiao Yi heard these words, he thought they were extremely absurd. He laughed heartily twice, then roared, "Get out!"
