Jingshu Palace.

"Mom, the warm water is ready, you can take a bath!"

A palace maid approached the palace door and was about to open the door and go in. But at this moment, she suddenly found that the guard at the door was leaning against the wall motionless, as if he was asleep.

"What are you doing?"

The palace maid frowned, walked over to take a look, and instantly turned pale.

The eyes of the two guards were widened, and bright red blood was slowly flowing out from their necks.

Seeing this scene, the palace maid still didn't understand what happened, and immediately screamed: "Oh no, there is an assassin! Someone come quickly!"

"kill!!"

At this moment, dozens of black-clothed and masked figures suddenly rushed out from the darkness in the distance, heading towards Jingshu Palace.

In an instant, countless people were awakened.

When Concubine Shu opened the door and took a look, her beauty immediately turned pale.

"Auntie, what's wrong?"

The seventh prince Wu Ji walked out in confusion, and his expression changed when he saw this, "Auntie, be careful!"

"Get in quickly!"

Concubine Shu quickly pulled Wu Ji and hid inside.

"Um?"

Not far away outside Xuanqing Palace, Duke Wei was about to deal with the little mice in the dark. Suddenly he heard the screams coming from Jingshu Palace, and his expression immediately changed.

"Spread eastward and attack west?!"

For a moment, he felt that there were many mysterious auras appearing everywhere in the palace.

Why didn't Eunuch Wei still understand that this was the assassin's method of attacking in the east and in the west? His face suddenly became extremely ugly.

"Damn!!"

The one in Jingshu Palace is Wu Sifan's aunt, and next to it is the seventh prince's palace.

If something happened there, he couldn't imagine what kind of crazy things Wu Sifan, who now has a strong man in the Hedao realm serving him, would do!

Eunuch Wei gritted his teeth, looked at Dian Wei who was motionless at the entrance of Xuanqing Palace, hesitated for a moment, and said with cupped hands: "Please general to protect His Highness, I will go to Jingshu Palace to protect Concubine Shu!"

Dian Wei's face was calm, without any worry, he nodded and said: "Go!"

Seeing this, Eunuch Wei didn't hesitate anymore and shouted: "Gather all the troops, one team and two teams to guard Xuanqing Palace, and the rest will go to Jingshu Palace immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped into the air and flew towards Jingshu Palace!

When I arrived not far from Jingshu Palace, I saw many guards at the door already fighting with many masked assassins.

There were already several corpses on the ground, all of them members of the Imperial Guard.

Seeing this scene, Eunuch Wei's eyes were about to burst, "How brave! Come and die for me!"

boom!

The strong man of Hedao is angry and his power is astonishing!

When many assassins reacted, their expressions changed drastically.

"No! It's that dead eunuch, get out of here!"

At the command, many assassins dispersed and fled in all directions.

But how could Eunuch Wei let them go, especially when he heard the sound of the dead eunuch, the three corpse gods jumped up and shouted angrily: "None of you can leave tonight!"

boom!

As he spoke, he struck out with a palm, killing several men in black in an instant!

At this moment, groups of forbidden troops also came after hearing the news.

Eunuch Wei roared angrily: "Kill me, no one will be let go!"

Rumble!

Suddenly, a bloody battle broke out. The assassin was surrounded by densely packed Forbidden troops and had no choice but to fight head-on, resulting in heavy casualties.

At the entrance of Jingshu Palace, a dark shadow was quietly watching this scene.

Seeing that no other masters participated in the battle, the black shadow retreated and disappeared silently into the darkness.

…

On the other side, inside Xuanqing Palace.

Wu Sifan was also awakened by the chaotic noise, got up and walked out.

Next to him, a feminine-looking man wearing eunuch clothes followed quietly.

This person is Cao Zhengchun who was summoned not long ago!

"What happened?"

Wu Sifan frowned.

"Your Highness, there are several assassins outside. It is a crime worthy of death to disturb His Highness from rest!"

Cao Zhengchun's voice was gentle, and he leaned forward and replied.

Given his level, what happens outside cannot be hidden from him.

If he had not taken His Highness's safety into consideration, he would have personally taken action to deal with these assassins who disturbed His Highness's rest!

"assassin?"

Wu Sifan frowned, "Why is the sound coming from the direction of Jingshu Palace...it sounds in the east but in the west?!"

His expression changed, and he immediately understood the assassin's plan.

Cao Zhengchun said quickly: "Your Highness, don't worry, they are just some small characters. The father-in-law outside has personally led the imperial army to protect the empress and the seventh prince!"

Wu Sifan breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door and walked out, looked at Dian Wei next to him, and said, "How is the situation?"

Dian Wei cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, there is no need to worry. Eunuch Cao is right. They are just a few minor characters. The main character has not yet appeared... huh?"

Before he finished speaking, Dian Wei suddenly turned around and looked at the dark night sky in the distance, his eyes flashing coldly: "Here he comes!"

Wu Sifan also looked up.

In the darkness, as several rays of light and shadow flashed, majestic figures approached from far away and soon appeared at the entrance of Xuanqing Palace.

There are twelve people in total, all of whom have profound and terrifying auras, second only to Cao Zhengchun, Eunuch Wei and others.

Twelve people, all in the late stage of returning to the virtual realm!

Wu Sifan also knew one of the people.

"Prime Minister Wang Qingping, imperial censor Bai Qingyun, Zhendong Hou Ma Tiance!"

Wu Sifan narrowed his eyes, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Two first-rank ministers and a first-rank border marquis were actually involved in the fight for the right to inherit the throne!

"His Royal Highness, if you voluntarily give up the throne and leave the palace, you may be able to avoid death. Otherwise, you will not blame the prime minister for being ruthless!"

Wang Qingping's face was cold, his eyes swept over Dian Wei, full of fear, and finally stopped at Wu Sifan, and said indifferently.

As for Cao Zhengchun next to Wu Sifan, he was directly ignored by him.

An inconspicuous old eunuch may be just a servant of Eunuch Wei and not worthy of his attention.

"You don't believe this yourself, do you?"

Wu Sifan sneered and said: "If I don't die, can you safely support my third brother to ascend the throne?"

Wang Qingping narrowed his eyes slightly but did not speak.

There was a hint of sarcasm in Wu Sifan's eyes. He looked away from Wang Qingping and looked at Bai Qingyun and Ma Tiance next to him, saying, "I really didn't expect this!"

"That's fine with Prime Minister Wang Qingping. After all, the third prince Wu Xuan is his grandson."

"But Master Bai, Marquis Zhendong, what are you two doing?"

"Whether I or another prince ascends the throne, it will not have any impact on your status!"

Wu Sifan sighed, "Why do you insist on getting involved in this matter?"

Bai Qingyun looked calm and said: "Your Highness, the third prince is indeed more suitable to inherit the throne than you. You should give up the throne."

Ma Tiance did not speak.

He and Wang Qingping were old acquaintances, so there was no need to say anything more.

"What a pity, what a pity..."

Wu Sifan sighed again. Seeing Bai Qingyun's attitude, he knew that the matter was irreversible.

He really didn't want to kill these ministers if necessary.

After all, these will be his ministers from now on.

"What do you regret about the great prince?"

Seeing Wu Sifan's performance, Bai Qingyun frowned and suddenly felt something bad in his heart.

Wu Sifan's eyes returned to indifference, and he looked at them and said: "I'm sorry, it's not easy for you to achieve such a state. Why...do you have to seek your own death?"

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
