After hearing Han Mingzhe's words, Qiao Jiaojiao turned her head to look at the Second Prince who was surrounded by the crowd, and her mouth opened slightly.

[No wonder he dared to come back, he had indeed prepared a way out long ago! ]

[I am afraid that soon after he entered the palace, the urgent summons would be sent to the residences of all officials.]

[If he succeeds today, he can just prove in front of all the civil and military officials that the Queen and the Crown Prince are plotting rebellion, thus removing the biggest stumbling block.]

[If the plan fails, he will hold Emperor Yong hostage. If the Crown Prince dares to take action, he will be disregarding Emperor Yong's life. All the civil and military officials have witnessed it with their own eyes. The spit of people all over the world can drown the Crown Prince! ]

【He is really...】

Qiao Zhongguo immediately returned to the prince's side and relayed Han Mingzhe's words.

The Crown Prince obviously saw through the Second Prince's intentions.

Yutianmen...

He took every precaution possible and sent all his men out to guard the palace gates.

However, due to his father's indulgence over the years, even he was not clear about how many people his second brother had planted in the palace and how deep their infiltration was.

Now it seems that even the guards of Youtian Gate are his second brother's men. In this case, the secret guards he sent to Youtian Gate might have encountered an unexpected accident.

Thinking of this, the prince's brows darkened.

After this incident, he would not be able to sleep or eat well unless the palace was thoroughly cleaned up!

At this time, all the civil and military officials had gathered in front of the prince, asking him about what was going on in a panic.

The prince knew that he had won this match and there was no objection to the succession to the throne, but it would be extremely difficult to keep his second brother!

Huang Pei had almost given up hope, but when he saw the civil and military officials coming, he knew that Emperor Yong could finally be saved. He wiped his face hastily, stood up and said:

"My Lords, today the palace has verified that the Second Prince in front of us is the blood of Concubine Yu and the Northern Kingdom spy Di Zaiying. He is indeed a thief of the Northern Kingdom!"

"After his identity was exposed, he became angry and took His Majesty hostage, intending to leave the palace. His Royal Highness was worried about harming His Majesty, so he had no choice but to confront the Northern Country villains here. That's it!"

Huang Pei did not mention the incident of being poisoned by a Gu. After all, it was too shameful for an emperor.

Moreover, he even put the crown prince in a difficult position in his words, and tried his best to save Emperor Yong's life.

Upon hearing this, the faces of the court officials changed drastically and they all looked at Emperor Yong, feeling extremely sad!

Back then, they advised the emperor not to pay attention to Princess Yu Liu's letter of surrender, but the emperor insisted on having his own way, and even favored her and allowed her to give birth to an heir.

Now even the royal heir is fake, this, this, this... Your Majesty, Your Majesty!

However, even if Emperor Yong made many mistakes, as subjects, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, they could not ignore Emperor Yong's life.

"Northern thieves! Don't harm His Majesty!"

The second prince raised his lips, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile.

He has already lost everything on the Yong Dynasty side, and his mother's planning and layout for so many years have finally failed.

Moreover, the Zi Gu he had just triggered had already weakened his father's health. At this point, it seemed as if he was making things difficult for his elder brother.

In a little while, my brother will put on a hypocritical show in front of all the ministers, and he will really win the throne and the hearts of the people, becoming the new emperor that everyone hopes for.

Mother, you have taken everything into account, but did you ever foresee that one day you would fail?

Oh, you northern thief...

Forget it, it’s better not to know the real background, otherwise I will be criticized in the North.

Why not let everyone in the world believe that he, Shen Yuanbai, is of Northern blood!

"I only have one request, let me out of the palace!"

"Your Majesty and I have been father and son for many years. If I am free, I will not harm Your Majesty in the slightest. Otherwise, I will put an end to it today!"

As the Second Prince spoke, he pressed the knife against Emperor Yong's throat. All the ministers present changed their expressions instantly upon seeing this.

If they saw the emperor being killed by the bandits in front of their eyes, they would be sinners for all eternity!

"slow!"

At this time, the prince let out a low cry and finally stood up.

"Don't hurt my father. I will grant your request!"

When the court officials heard what the prince said, they immediately found their backbone, and Huang Pei finally cried for joy.

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, a hint of helplessness flashed across her eyes.

[I knew that if the Second Prince dared to come back, things would not end so easily. ]

[Fortunately, our Qiao family has also prepared a backup plan. The Second Prince should not think that he can sit back and relax after leaving the palace! ]

[It's up to the eldest and second brothers now. We must keep him here! ]

The Second Prince received the order and carried Emperor Yong back step by step. At this time, a man from the "Imperial Guard" came out and shouted, "Your Highness!"

The voice was clear, it was a woman's.

She lifted her helmet and it turned out to be Liuyun!

That day, Huang Pei took Liu Fuzi away. Liuyun realized that something was wrong and took the initiative to contact the second prince.

However, after the letter was taken out by the secret guard, it was like a drop in the ocean, with no response at all.

Liuyun's heart skipped a beat, and he knew that this response was a matter of life and death!

But without the approval of His Highness, she did not dare to act rashly, fearing that things would go wrong, until Lin Zhaoyi tried her best to pass a secret letter in.

She was overjoyed when she received the secret letter and began to implement it.

His Highness has no mother, so he has lived in Chonghua Palace early on. From the moment His Highness came up with the idea, they prepared various backup plans, including digging a tunnel in Chonghua Palace!

Since this time we are risking everything, it doesn't matter whether the tunnel is exposed or not. Regardless of whether His Highness succeeds or not, she, Liuyun, swears to follow him to the death!

"Your Highness, you are injured!"

Liuyun couldn't hide her joy when she saw the Second Prince, but when she saw the wound on his shoulder, her face was still filled with worry.

"It's okay, Liuyun, help me hold father together, let's go!"

The Second Prince did not withdraw the knife from Emperor Yong's neck. He looked around vigilantly and retreated step by step under the protection of the secret guards disguised as imperial guards.

Zhou Bo and Jin Zhu were also supported by the secret guards.

Everything was fine, but at this moment Qiao Zhongguo suddenly took the knife of the Imperial Guard beside him, threw it out with force, and it pierced diagonally into the floor tiles in front of Zhou Bo and Liuyun.

When the Second Prince heard the sound of a sharp weapon breaking through the air, his men instinctively exerted force and almost cut Emperor Yong's neck, but at this time Qiao Zhongguo's voice rang out.

"You thief from the North, letting you leave the palace is already the limit. Do you think you can escape unscathed with your lackeys?"

I heard Jiaojiao and the eldest brother mention it before, saying that Aunt Rou might know Yu Liu's overall plan, but she is too determined, and she might not believe it even if you tell her that the second prince has retreated.

I think only when Zhou Bo and Jin Zhu are captured, or their bodies are seen in person to prove that Yu Liu's plan has failed, can Aunt Rou's defenses be completely broken.

After all, Yu Liu cannot be underestimated. We must find out all her actions in Dayong to prevent future troubles!

Upon hearing this, the second prince turned around abruptly and looked at Qiao Zhongguo with intense hatred in his eyes.

"Qiao Zhongguo, don't negotiate with me!"

Qiao Zhongguo sneered, "It all depends on whether these two loyal servants are willing to drag you down!"
