Shui Sheng's trump card was revealed and she went a little crazy. She actually took a risk and poisoned her father.
My father is also a person who can't be led. Liu Sheng had laid out everything, but he ended up holding him back. He was even poisoned while in the palace.
I finally understand why the ninth brother is no longer capable. It turns out that his IQ is inherited from his father.
So, Liu Sheng led his men to surround the princess's mansion, preparing to capture Shui Sheng and completely put an end to this open and secret struggle.
But since Shui Sheng dared to poison, she was naturally prepared. So she rebelled, starting from the Princess Mansion and raising an army.
The streets were in chaos at the time, and he originally wanted to enter the palace, but the palace gates were closed, and he had no idea what was going on inside.
He was a little worried about his father, but he heard that Lao Jiu was in the palace. He thought that although Lao Jiu was not good at anything, he would not kill his father.
So he first took the Xiangguo and others in the city to the palace. Although his palace was not as good as the imperial palace, it had a thousand elite soldiers, all of whom were from the battlefield. As long as Shui Sheng was not stupid, he would not attack his Xiangwang Palace.
Sure enough, Shui Sheng’s target was the imperial palace. After controlling other officials in the city, she concentrated all her forces at the palace gate and tried to break it down.
As long as they break into the palace and get the imperial seal, the world will be theirs no matter whether their father is dead or alive.
So after Nangong Fusang discussed with the Prime Minister and others, they decided that Prince Xiang and the Prime Minister would go out of the city to get reinforcements, while Liu Sheng would go into the palace to check on the emperor's condition.
There are still 10,000 elite cavalry outside Nangong Fusang City. Although they can't do anything, they can at least hold out for a while and buy time for the Prime Minister to dispatch the city defense troops.
But they underestimated Shui Sheng, as she had already blocked the way out of the city. Moreover, the soldiers guarding the city were not ordinary soldiers, but masters of undercurrent.
She had calculated very well. As long as no one went out to mobilize troops, the city defense troops would not dare to enter the city without an imperial edict even if they saw that the capital was in chaos. Entering the city without an imperial edict would be considered treason.
They might dare to execute other emperors first and report later, but they didn't dare to do that to his father, for fear that his father would take revenge on him later.
Nangong Fusang and Xiangguo couldn't get out at all, the masters of the undercurrent were no pushovers.
In the end, it was Ning Shaoqing who came with Xingmu and fought his way out for them.
Especially Xingmu, whose martial arts skills were so high that they were jaw-dropping. Even when facing five or six undercurrent masters, he could handle them calmly and bought them a chance to leave the city.
After they rushed out of the city gate, Xingmu brought Ning Shaoqing into the city. It was probably because Ning Shaoqing was worried about the little money-grubber and wanted to go back to save her.
Now Nangong Fusang and Xiangguo could not care less, and as soon as they left the city, they split their troops into two groups, Nangong Fusang to mobilize his own 10,000 elite troops, and Xiangguo to mobilize the city defense troops.
When Nangong Fusang rushed back, the city gate had already been closed.
He ordered an attack on the city, but he had few men and no large siege equipment, so the siege lasted for a long time but failed and the losses were quite heavy.
After a night of stalemate, the Prime Minister finally arrived with hundreds of thousands of city defense troops. Although the city defense troops had never been on the battlefield, they were trained by the Prime Minister himself and were quite capable.
Moreover, the city defense army was the best equipped among all the armies, with large siege equipment and even muskets and gunpowder. After a frenzy of bombardment by the city defense army, the gate of Kyoto was finally blasted open by them.
Faced with the well-equipped city defense troops, the locals had no choice but to retreat.
They chased after her all the way, and finally met Shui Sheng who was attacking the palace in front of the palace gate. The troops of both sides were similar, but Shui Sheng was in the middle, forming a trend of being surrounded, and the battle situation was even more unfavorable to her.
However, the prime minister did not act rashly, because they did not know the situation in the palace yet, and they were not sure how many people were left in the palace and whether they could come out to support them.
Shui Sheng was very crazy. She knew very well that if they lost the war, given the emperor's cruelty, they would all die.
Section 255
Since we are all going to die, we might as well give it a try.
She had already made up her mind to fight to the death, but at this moment her father came out, dragging his sick body, and stood on the city wall at the palace gate.
He was confessing and preparing to give an explanation to Shui Sheng and those innocent people who died. He told everyone about how he framed Nangong Qiuming that day.
The soldiers obviously couldn't accept that the emperor they fought so hard to protect was actually a traitor. So what were they now, traitors who helped the traitor?
Morale was once low.
Nangong Fusang didn't even understand why his father came out this time?
Wash away sins?!
He didn't believe it. His father might regret it, but he would never admit his mistakes at this time. Because that would mean that he would not only bear the eternal infamy, but also lose his throne.
Then why did the father come out?
Nangong Fusang thought about it for a long time, and it seemed that there was only one possibility, that is, his father was dying, and he wanted to fight for a chance to survive for his sons.
He was not a good emperor, nor a good father, but when a dying man is about to die, his words are good.
Before he died, he finally wanted to be a loving father.
But Nangong Fusang didn't want to. He didn't want a kind father. He just wanted his father to live well.
Nangong Fusang wanted to rush over and tell his father that he didn't have to die, because he still had an older son, and no matter what happened, his older son would take responsibility for him.
As long as Nangong Fusang is still alive, he will never let anyone hurt his father and Old Nine and the others.
But it was too late. Before he could run out, his father fell headfirst from the city wall.
He watched with his own eyes as his father fell to the ground like catkins in the wind.
Not long after, there was a muffled sound from the ground, not loud, but to him, it was deafening and made his head buzz.
The world was spinning, and Nangong Fusang suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.
It turns out that when people are sad to a certain extent, they will really vomit blood.
When he rushed over, his father was still breathing and his body was still warm. Hope was rekindled in him. He felt that he could still rescue his father for a while and maybe his father could still survive.
But it was obvious that his father no longer had the desire to live. He called him Fuso and said he was sorry.
It has been a long time since his father called him Fuso.
He wanted to tell his father that his father had not done him any wrong, that his father had taken good care of him. He was a prince born out of wedlock, but he was fostered under the name of the empress and was also given the status of the eldest son.
Although everyone bullied him and no one stood up for him, no one dared to deduct his food, clothing, shelter and transportation. From childhood to adulthood, he had never lacked food and clothing.
A child like him, let alone being a prince, would not be able to survive even if he was born in an ordinary wealthy family.
Father, I was wrong. I will never be angry with you again.
Don't go, don't abandon me.
If you leave, I will no longer have a father.
