General Gu, Gu Yunxiao, and Ren Yanran, who were unable to move, had their eyes wide open like bells.
Senna stopped only after she had scratched both sides of her face until there was not a trace of good flesh left, and then she fell straight down.
Xiao Linger quickly tore off the talismans of General Gu and others, and they were able to move immediately.
At this time, two figures flashed quickly from the curtains of the dungeon, and Gu Yunting and Gu Xi appeared in the prison.
Everyone tacitly agreed without any communication. Gu Xi carried Senna on his shoulders, and everyone quickly left the prison.
An hour after they left, the bailiffs who had fainted outside the prison regained consciousness and quickly delivered the news to the palace.
However, by the time the news reached Yue Hongyi, it was already too late.
Yue Hongyi was very excited after General Gu and others were arrested and thrown into prison. The biggest threat had been eliminated, and he finally felt relieved.
Now, as long as he gets the imperial seal, he can sit in that position rightfully.
Thinking of this, he and his uncle Prime Minister Luo rushed to a dark dungeon without stopping.
The old emperor in the dark cell had been tortured to the point of being on the verge of death, his body covered with scars from being whipped by various weapons.
"Father, as long as you hand over the imperial seal, I can let you spend your old age in peace." The eldest prince forced the old emperor with a ferocious look on his face.
"Ahem, forget it. My people have already found out where General Gu is. He will come to rescue you as soon as he receives the imperial edict."
The old emperor coughed weakly twice, and said angrily to his eldest prince, who usually did not fight or compete, and the right prime minister standing beside him.
"Hahaha, rescue me? Father, have you forgotten that you framed him and the Gu family army before?
Although he and Prince Gu were lucky enough to escape, thousands of Gu's soldiers have lost their lives because of this. Do you think he will come to rescue you?"
The eldest prince laughed as if the old emperor had told a funny joke. After laughing, he asked sarcastically.
"No, General Gu is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Once he knows the news, he will definitely come to rescue you." The old emperor said firmly.
"Father, since you know that General Gu is loyal to the emperor and patriotic and has no intention of rebelling, why did you still plot to frame him?" There was a flash of sarcasm in Yue Hongyi's eyes.
He felt that his father was not a benevolent monarch. Just because General Gu was so loved by the people, he became jealous and wanted to get rid of him.
"Your Majesty, General Gu and Prince Gu are both rare talents, but they will not be loyal to you. You must not be soft-hearted and let them go."
Prime Minister Luo saw a flash of pity in Yue Hongyi's eyes, and fearing that he would soften his heart and release Gu Hepeng and Gu Yunxiao, he hurriedly spoke out to persuade him.
"Uncle, don't worry, I know."
Yue Hongyi thought he was not stupid. He would eliminate anyone who posed a threat to him, no matter how much contribution they made to the Yuntian Kingdom.
"Report!" At this time, a guard suddenly came with an urgent report.
"Why are you so panicked?" Eunuch Li, who was guarding outside the door, looked at the visitor and shouted angrily.
"Eunuch Li, General Gu has led the Gu family army into the palace. The palace is now in chaos and everyone is running for their lives."
"What did you say? General Gu has already attacked the palace?" Yue Hongyi and Prime Minister Luo hurried out of the door. Yue Hongyi grabbed the guard's collar with one hand and asked angrily.
"Ahem, Your Majesty, yes, you...you should run away..."
"Puchi!" Before the guard could finish his words, the angry Yue Hongyi drew out his sword and stabbed it directly into his chest.
The guard fell down just like that.
