Chapter 277: God Disposes
The fourth prince's eyes flashed, "Yun Zheng, I will be your only choice!"
The voice was low and hoarse, revealing a sense of temptation and ambiguity. Yun Zheng was stunned. Was he seducing her?
Oh my god, she is his future imperial aunt!
Are the royal family members so unrefined?
"not necessarily."
At this moment, the emperor looked over and asked, "What are you talking about?"
The Fourth Prince's expression tightened and he gave Yun Zheng a warning look.
Yun Zheng smiled slightly, "The Fourth Prince said..."
She paused, drawing everyone's attention. "Nine Thousand Years Old is so brave and extraordinary that you can be his bodyguard."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone had different expressions. The emperor's uncle was serving as a guard for the prince?
The emperor's face turned black on the spot, "Guard, huh, you have such a big face."
The Fourth Prince's face turned pale, and he was furious and anxious. "Father, no, I didn't say that. She was just talking nonsense."
Yun Zheng nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, I was just talking nonsense."
"The Fourth Prince didn't say a word. He didn't say anything."
It would have been fine if she hadn't said it, but after she did, everyone looked at her even more strangely.
The Fourth Prince gnashed his teeth in anger, "You're so good."
Yun Zheng was a little annoyed and deliberately raised her voice, "Fourth Prince, I've already said that Prince Rui and I will always be loyal to the Emperor and will never serve as your guards. Please stop pestering me."
She would not suffer any loss and would take revenge on the spot.
The emperor's eyes grew colder, "Fourth Prince, do you still have your father and the emperor in your eyes?"
The Fourth Prince glared at Yun Zheng fiercely and threatened in a low voice, "Just wait for me."
Yun Zheng's eyes were slightly cold. If the Fourth Prince wanted to take the throne, it would depend on her consent.
Once this guy comes to power, neither she nor the Yun family will have a good life.
I just don't know what cards he has in his hand.
Under the city wall, Li Wuyang had already taken control of the situation, killing those who wanted to be killed and forcing those who wanted to surrender to surrender.
Most of Jiang Wenzhou's brothers' followers and retainers were killed. They wanted to escape, but it was too late and they were trapped.
Seeing that there was no hope, Jiang Wenyun was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a thud, "Surrender, I surrender."
"Don't kill me, I don't know anything. I'm just a worthless piece of shit with an empty title."
He pointed at Jiang Wenzhou and said, "My brother is the heir who is deeply valued by our father. All the power is in his hands. Kill him if you want."
Jiang Wenzhou was about to explode with anger, "Jiang Wenyun."
Li Wuyang looked at them coldly and waved his hand, "Capture them all and throw them into the Heavenly Prison to await the Emperor's punishment."
"yes."
Everyone rushed forward and captured Jiang Wenzhou and his brothers. From then on, the farce in front of Donghua Gate ended.
Upon seeing this, the emperor led his men down from the city wall.
Li Wuyang saluted from his wheelchair, "Your Majesty, I have come to report. I have captured the rebels in one fell swoop. I beg Your Majesty to decide what will happen to me."
The emperor nodded in satisfaction. At the critical moment, Prince Rui was still reliable.
"Well done, Ninth Brother. I will remember your great achievement today."
The Minister of War couldn't help but ask, "When did the Ninth Prince return to the capital? His arrival is such a coincidence. Did he receive the news in advance?"
Li Wuyang seemed not to have heard the hint and cupped his hands, "It was the Emperor who made the ingenious plan and arranged everything in advance. I was just executing it."
Everyone suddenly realized that this was a trick to lure the snake out of its hole, and everyone had been kept in the dark by this pair of brothers.
"Your Majesty is wise."
The Minister of Revenue was extremely anxious. "Go to Xihua Gate quickly and rescue them."
His wife and children are all in the palace.
Li Wuyang said calmly, "Don't worry, Xihua Gate hasn't been breached. I have already captured all the people there."
After hearing this, everyone felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. As long as everything was fine, it would be good.
The fourth prince frowned slightly and looked quietly towards the palace.
At this moment, a guard came running over, "It's not good, it's not good."
Everyone was shocked, "What happened?"
The guard's face was solemn and uneasy, "The Second Prince and the Fifth Prince have been killed."
It was like a bolt from the blue, and everyone was stunned and couldn't believe it.
Two princes were killed at the same time? Didn't they say that the rebels didn't attack the imperial city?
The emperor's expression changed drastically. "How could it be?"
Impossible, he had clearly arranged everything!
The guards were terrified. "Just now, the servants of Chuxiu Palace started a riot. Suddenly, they attacked... The Second and Fifth Princes were killed at the same time."
The emperor was devastated. Man proposes, God disposes. He could calculate the overall situation of the world, but he could not predict the hearts of the people.
Prince Rui shouted, "Then, what about the Third and Sixth Princes?"
The emperor has six sons. The fifth prince is still a little kid, and the sixth prince is still a baby in his arms.
The guard swallowed and spoke carefully, "The Third Prince is seriously injured and in critical condition. The Sixth Prince is safe."
As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor's eyes went dark, the world spun around, and he fell down.
Everyone rushed over, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Prince Rui gave a look and Guyu immediately led his men forward, blocking the crowd and protecting the emperor in the middle.
This is the time when trouble is most likely to occur.
"Quick, call the doctor."
"Bring the Sixth Prince here quickly, immediately, go quickly."
In front of the Yangxin Palace, everyone was waiting anxiously, their hearts in turmoil.
Overnight, two princes were killed, one prince's life or death was unknown, and only two princes were left intact.
The sky is falling!
In a secluded corner of the courtyard, Prince Rui looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Yun Zheng turned around, her figure light and graceful. "Look, I'm fine, how about you?"
Prince Rui looked at the spirited woman with tenderness in his eyes. "I'm not hurt, don't worry. Thank you for taking care of my mother."
Yun Zheng's lips curled up slightly, "This is also my responsibility."
Her face was slightly red with a hint of shyness. He should also know about the arranged marriage.
Prince Rui's heart was burning with passion, and he couldn't help but gently hold her hand. "I like the imperial decree granting marriage very much, and I'm very happy."
Yun Zheng's eyebrows were curved and her smile was about to overflow.
The sweet and warm atmosphere between the two of them is a world of its own, as if there is a barrier that no one else can enter.
On the other side, the imperial physician finally came out and everyone gathered around him, "How is the emperor?"
The imperial physician sighed softly, "The emperor fainted due to a sudden attack of anger."
"But... it seems like there are symptoms of an epidemic."
There was an uproar at the scene. The emperor was infected with the epidemic? Oh my god.
The Fourth Prince was secretly delighted and glanced at the Minister of War, who then stood up.
"In this chaotic situation, we need someone to step up and take charge. Now that the Emperor is ill, I nominate the Fourth Prince to take charge. After all, he is the only intact prince and has the full authority to take charge."
The Minister of Revenue frowned slightly. This guy used to stand on the side of the Third Prince, but when the Third Prince got into trouble, he immediately defected to the Fourth Prince. He changed so quickly.
"And the Sixth Prince."
Yu Ge Lao said calmly, "That was still a child."
He made a suggestion, "The emperor cannot manage affairs, the cabinet should temporarily take charge of the overall situation."
The two sides were at a stalemate, but they had one thing in common: they both intentionally or unintentionally ignored Prince Rui.
No one wants him to take the lead!
Yun Zheng shook her head slightly. The emperor wasn't even dead yet, but they were already fighting for power.
Li Wuyang's cold eyes swept over, "The Emperor has issued an order."
Everyone was stunned, and then they all knelt on the ground, listening respectfully to the order.
