He looked at Consort Hui.
"Mother, what should we do?"
"If Marquis Yong'an has been killed by Shen Hechuan, then aren't we doomed?"
Consort Hui remained relatively calm. Seeing the flustered Prince Rui, she immediately rebuked him.
"Shut up!"
"You are the future emperor, you cannot panic!"
As she spoke, she immediately shouted.
"Everyone, don't panic!"
“We have 10,000 men in the palace and 40,000 elite troops stationed outside the city. No matter how capable Shen Hechuan is, he cannot defeat us.”
"Now, all soldiers, listen to my command: kill all the Imperial Guards, capture Emperor Rongcheng, and this world will be ours."
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers felt as if they had found their leader and immediately calmed down, and they clashed with the enemy again.
But almost simultaneously.
Suddenly, rows of torches lit up in the distance, their sheer number making it seem as if they were surrounding the entire capital city.
What is that?
Someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone looked over.
"Could that be... the army brought by the Crown Prince...?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone panicked.
"With so many people, wouldn't that mean we're all surrounded?"
"Then what chance do we have of winning?"
"Why bother fighting? We'll just die anyway. We might as well surrender and maybe save our lives."
Such voices could be heard repeatedly from the crowd.
This caused the soldiers who were still fighting to gradually begin to break down psychologically, and eventually...
They then dropped their weapons and surrendered.
Upon seeing this, Consort Hui immediately shouted.
"Everyone, pick up the weapons. These are all fake, all part of the Crown Prince's scheme. Don't be fooled by him."
However, once that morale is broken, it is very difficult to rebuild.
No one listened to Consort Hui's words.
At this moment, at the palace gate.
Gu Wei'ang was riding over.
At this moment, his men were engaged in fierce fighting with the crown prince's men.
Shen Hechuan stood at the doorway on horseback, calmly watching him.
"The Marquis of Yong'an's heroic bearing is as impressive as ever!"
Gu Wei'ang snorted coldly upon hearing this, and immediately spun the spear in his hand, performing a spear flourish that was very impressive.
Shen Hechuan chuckled lightly and continued:
"However, it's different without his manhood; the once dashing Marquis of Yong'an has somehow acquired a hint of effeminacy!"
These words struck a nerve with Gu Wei'ang.
He flew into a rage and, gritting his teeth, launched into a furious tirade.
"Shen Hechuan, you arrogant brat, today is your death day!"
"Yeah?"
Shen Hechuan chuckled softly.
"Very well! I just wonder, will your son die first, or will I die first?"
As he spoke, Gu Wei'ang saw Gu Nansheng being hung up at the palace gate.
"Father, save me, Father..."
Shen Hechuan continued to kill people and destroy their spirit.
"The Marquis of Yong'an has already lost his manhood. If this child is lost, he will probably be childless and have no descendants."
Gu Wei'ang was instantly enraged and rushed towards Shen Hechuan without regard for anything else.
However, they were quickly surrounded by people in front of them.
Gu Wei'ang was immediately caught up in a fierce battle.
Just then, a loud voice suddenly rang out from behind.
"Prince Rui has been killed! Prince Rui has been killed..."
These words were like a pebble falling into a lake, instantly creating a huge wave.
Gu Wei'ang was distracted and was shot in the shoulder with an arrow.
But he is no ordinary person either.
After being hit by the arrow, he immediately cut off the arrow shaft and resumed fighting.
Unfortunately, his men didn't have that much composure, and upon hearing the news, their morale immediately began to waver.
"His Highness Prince Rui is gone, what are we still fighting for?"
"What's the point of fighting it?"
...
These words kept ringing in everyone's ears, quickly robbing them of their will to fight.
Seeing this, Shen Hechuan drew his longbow again and shot arrow after arrow at Gu Wei'ang.
Finally, Gu Wei'ang was exhausted and caught off guard, and was shot in the abdomen again.
Shen Hechuan looked at Gu Wei'ang, who was slowly falling, but in the end he did not shoot the fatal arrow.
He put away the arrows, ordered his men to tie up Gu Wei'ang, and then ordered all the rebel soldiers to be kept under guard before leading his men towards the main hall.
An hour later, all the rebels were captured.
Prince Rui was like a lump of mud, pushed over by someone.
Consort Hui was bound and pushed in front of Shen Hechuan.
Her face was ravaged, her clothes were disheveled, and she kept cursing.
Shen Hechuan, however, seemed not to have heard and looked incredulously in the direction of Emperor Rongcheng.
He stared at Jiang Xianhao, who was lifeless, and stepped forward in disbelief.
"Mother, what's wrong? Mother..."
He wanted to go forward and check on Jiang Xianhao, but Emperor Rongcheng pushed him away.
"Get out of the way! Ah Hao is asleep, don't wake him up."
"Ah Hao, the worst thing about sleeping is noise, so don't wake her up."
As Emperor Rongcheng spoke, he pulled Jiang Xianhao even tighter into his arms.
Shen Hechuan knelt directly in front of Jiang Xianhao, his eyes red and tears streaming down his face.
"Mother, I am late."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Behind him, he suddenly heard Consort Hui's laughter.
She threw her head back and laughed, as if she had seen a joke.
"Hahaha, what a joke, I'm late."
