Chapter 837, Luo Qiong's Death
Daohua quickly pulled Prince Ping into the crowd. Xiao Yechi must have brought people with him when he came to Beijing, and they might be scattered around. All she could do now was to ensure the safety of herself and Prince Ping and avoid being caught.
But he was worried that Xiao Yeyang wouldn't receive the news in time. After thinking for a moment, he shouted again, "The Eighth Prince's son is in the carriage!"
After shouting, he pulled Prince Ping and ran hard.
From pushing open the car door, to rushing out of the car, to yelling, it all happened in a flash. By the time Xiao Yechi's people, as well as Mei Lan, Huai En and others in the carriage behind reacted, Prince Daohua Heping had already been submerged in the crowd.
"not good!"
Mei Lan Mei Ju and Xiao Ye Chi's expressions changed at the same time.
Mei Lan Mei Ju jumped off the carriage and quickly chased in the direction of Daohua and Prince Ping, while some of Xiao Ye Chi's men chased Daohua and Prince Ping, while the other part ran towards Xiao Ye Chi.
The people in the capital knew something about the major events in the court, and when they heard the name "Eight Kings", they immediately became agitated.
In this way, Daohua and Prince Ping successfully bought some time to escape.
In the carriage, Xiao Yechi was drugged with muteness and softening powder, so he could only use his eyes to signal his men who were running towards him to leave the city quickly.
Knowing that their whereabouts were exposed, Xiao Yechi's men did not dare to stay any longer. After moving the box containing Xiao Yechen onto the carriage, they immediately drove the carriage towards the city gate.
On the other side, Daohua ran into the alley with Prince Ping.
When the two saw Mei Lan Mei Ju and Huai Zhong following them, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, before he could relax, he saw Xiao Yechi's men chasing after him.
Soon, Mei Lan and the other two started fighting with Xiao Yechi's men.
Xiao Ye Chi had too many people, and Mei Lan and the other two couldn't stop them, so they missed two of them and attacked Prince Daohua Heping.
Daohua stood in front of Prince Ping, took out a slingshot and shot at the two men.
Prince Ping looked at Daohua standing in front of him and felt a little moved. He raised his hand and waved. Suddenly, two secret guards fell from the sky and ran quickly towards Xiao Yechi's men.
"Father, do you have secret guards?"
Prince Ping nodded reservedly: "I am a prince after all."
Daohua's expression relaxed: "Why didn't you call out earlier?"
Prince Ping was speechless: "You didn't even give me this chance."
Daohua: “.” Her fault?
With the addition of the secret guards, Mei Lan freed his hands and quickly retreated to the side of Prince Daohua Heping, looking around vigilantly.
With his safety assured, Prince Ping was in a good mood to ask, "How do you know that Ye Chen is Xiao Ye Chi in disguise? Where is the real Ye Chen?"
Daohua's eyes flickered. "I guess Xiao Yechen is probably trapped in the box at the back of the carriage." She quickly added, "I didn't refuse to save him. I've already pushed him off the carriage. The situation is urgent, so I can only take care of you, father, first."
Prince Ping was stunned for a moment, but he didn't blame Daohua. Thinking that Xiao Yechen might be in danger, he quickly shouted to the secret guards, "Hurry up and get rid of these people and go save Yechen."
The secret guards received the order and became more ruthless.
A quarter of an hour later, all of Xiao Yechi's men fell to the ground.
The two secret guards didn't want to leave, so Prince Ping said anxiously, "What are you standing there for? Go and save Yechen. I have Huaizhong and Yan girl here with me, so they'll be fine."
Only then did the two secret guards leave.
After Xiao Yeyang received the news from Yan Ying, he immediately sent a letter to Commander Xue Xiangchen, asking him to take people to close the city gate.
Thanks to Daohua's words "The Eighth Prince's son is in the carriage", the Jinling Guards and the city patrol guards quickly gathered towards the street where the incident occurred.
"Master, it's bad, the city gate is closed."
Xiao Yechi's men drove their carriages through four city gates in succession, but were unable to get out of the city.
The effect of the Softening Meridian Powder was too strong. Even if Xiao Yechi mobilized his internal energy, he could only move his fingers.
The subordinate drove the carriage to a secluded corner, opened the door, and said to Xiao Yechi: "Master, we have to abandon the carriage. The Jinling Guards and the Patrol Guards are coming soon."
Another subordinate thought for a moment and said, "I'll continue to drive the carriage to attract their attention. You take the master away and find a way out of the city."
As he said that, he walked to the back of the carriage and took Xiao Yechen out of the box.
"Master, the Jinling Guards should all know that you are pretending to be Xiao Yechen. Let him lead them away for you."
Xiao Yechi glanced at Luo Qiong, and finally nodded without saying anything.
The subordinate immediately stepped forward and carried Xiao Yechi on his back, and left quickly under the escort of others.
Looking at Xiao Yechi's disappearing back, the light in Luo Qiong's eyes dimmed little by little.
"Bang!"
Xiao Yechen was pushed into the carriage. The people who stayed behind closed the door and quickly drove the carriage recklessly on the street.
In the carriage, Xiao Yechen's hands and feet were tied and his mouth was blocked, but after struggling hard, he spit out the cloth in his mouth.
Xiao Yechen just glanced at Luo Qiong who was slumped beside him. At this critical moment of life and death, his IQ was still online. He did not argue with Luo Qiong at this time, but tried to find a way to save himself.
Not long after, the carriage suddenly braked sharply, and Xiao Yechen and Luo Qiong in the carriage crashed into each other. Before they could sit down, the carriage turned around quickly and sped away again.
This was repeated several times.
Xiao Yechen and Luo Qiong were knocked all over the place. Although they couldn't see the situation outside, they could guess that they were definitely surrounded.
"Stop the carriage, or we'll shoot!"
As for Xiao Yechi, the emperor didn't say that he had to keep him alive.
Hearing this, Xiao Yechen's face changed with fear and he bit the rope on his hand harder.
Xiao Yechi's men ignored them and drove their carriages directly towards the patrolling guards who were blocking the intersection.
"Shoot!"
Xiao Yeyang rushed to the scene only after confirming that Prince Daohua and Prince Heping were safe. When he arrived, the carriage had been forced to stop.
Xiao Yechi's men were shot like hedgehogs and fell to the ground, and there was no movement in the carriage.
The first people to run towards the carriage were the secret guards sent by Prince Ping to rescue Xiao Yechen. The two of them ran straight to the box at the back of the carriage, and only opened the door of the carriage when they saw that the box was empty.
As soon as the car door opened, everyone's expression changed.
Xiao Yeyang frowned and walked forward. Looking at Xiao Yechen who was holding Luo Qiong and blocking in front of him, he knew without asking that the person in front of him was not Xiao Yechi. Without saying a word, he turned around and left.
"Xiao Yechi has escaped, the city gates are not allowed to be opened!"
"Young Master~"
Xiao Yechen looked up at the secret guards and realized that they were sent by Prince Ping to rescue him. He quickly pushed Luo Qiong away and got out of the carriage as if escaping.
"Send me back to the palace!"
Xiao Yechen was supported by two secret guards and taken away. He never looked back at Luo Qiong, who was shot by several arrows.
Prince Ping's Mansion.
After Xiao Yechen came back, he locked himself in Chenyuan and refused to see anyone except the doctor.
After learning of Luo Qiong's death, Prince Ping was stunned for a moment, then went to Pingxi Hall to find Daohua: "Yan girl, tell me the truth, what happened to Yechen and Luo Qiong? How are they related to Xiao Yechi?"
Daohua asked the maids to leave, and then she spoke: "The child in Luo Qiong's belly is not my brother's, but Xiao Yechi's. It was because the princess knew this that she was killed by Luo Qiong and Xiao Yechi."
Upon hearing this, Prince Ping was stunned and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
At this time, a servant came to report that the patrolling guards had sent Luo Qiong's body to the palace.
After hearing this, Prince Ping was furious and said, "The royal family should not be so shameless."
"Father!"
Daohua interrupted Prince Ping and said, "Father, this matter should not be made public, otherwise our palace will become a laughing stock in the capital."
Prince Ping was furious: "Are you going to let Luo Qiong enter the ancestral hall of my palace?"
Daohua shook her head. "Of course not. Just send him back to the Duke of Wei's Mansion. Luo Qiong and Xiao Yechi are in contact because the Duke of Wei's Mansion is affiliated with the Eighth Princes. This matter should be exposed soon. Sending Luo Qiong back is also a good reason."
Prince Ping nodded and signaled the steward to do as he was told.
