The soldiers who originally supported Li Yurong were at a loss. Their leader was defeated and they lost morale.
"Everyone! The traitor Li Yurong has been captured. Now is a good time to make contributions. Those who follow me are willing to guard the imperial city with me."
The rebels looked at each other in disbelief, and then Su Jinxun and others only responded in response, and the orderly army followed Su Wenqing's footsteps and walked towards the palace.
Looking at the soldiers who stayed behind at Su's house, Su Jinxun couldn't help but fainted!
The spies hiding in the dark were all shocked. They never expected such a result.
"The sky has changed! It's really uncertain who will sit on the throne tomorrow!" A spy sighed, and then left the place in a hurry.
The fourth prince looked at the manic man in front of him and suddenly became furious.
"Marquis Lin'an, aren't you being instigated by him? I just said that the third brother was not killed by me, why don't you believe it? You actually listened to the instigation of the eldest brother. Isn't it known to everyone on the street what his purpose is now?"
He really didn't expect that the Marquis of Lin'an would believe his elder brother's words.
"Hmph! Of all the princes, you are the only one who has the last laugh. Doesn't this prove your suspicion? You just want to frame this matter and blame it on the fifth prince. This will not only eliminate the third prince, but also make the fifth prince lose the competition.
Strength is like killing two birds with one stone."
The eldest prince's eyes flashed with evil thoughts, and then he snorted coldly.
Jiang Yishou tightened his lips, his eyes wandering.
After taking a look around, he found that the eldest prince had brought more troops and had the upper hand.
He narrowed his eyes and pointed the long sword in his hand at the fourth prince.
The fourth prince shouted with a cold face, "Lin'an Marquis, if you continue to be stubborn, you will be a traitor and a traitor. Although my father is still in a coma, it is not impossible to wake up!"
Jiang Yishou snorted coldly, "The emperor will be furious if he has an unfilial son like you who harms his brothers and sisters. I believe that after he wakes up, he will not let you act like this."
The fourth prince laughed angrily, "Okay! Are you going to go against the imperial court?"
"Tsk, tsk!" Su Yizhao sat on a tree branch, looking at the farce below, and couldn't help but tsk.
"How much affection does Jiang Yishou have for the third prince? Everyone is dead, how can he still follow the dead?"
Su Yizhao sighed, and then said: "Isn't it because the eldest prince had a chance of winning that he switched sides in the battle?"
Zong Zeming also sneered, "Isn't that right? At this time, I'm afraid he is thinking that those who understand the current affairs are the heroes! The fourth prince has no chance of winning for the time being, and of course he also wants to take advantage of the dragon."
"However, that's not entirely true!" Su Yizhao suddenly said after observing Jiang Yishou for a while.
"How do you say that?" Zong Zeming asked, raising his eyebrows.
"You forgot, he also has a grandson! He is a direct descendant of the royal family. If the prince is so young, won't the opportunity come to his relatives?"
Su Yizhao said casually, then turned to ask Zong Zeming.
"Didn't you say that reinforcements are coming soon? Why haven't they come yet?" She thought about this and felt that she couldn't just watch the fun all the time.
"Don't worry, wait a little longer, there will be a lot of shocking excitement later!"
Zong Zeming had an enigmatic look on his face, which made Su Yizhao even more curious.
She stopped asking questions. Since the Su family was fine, she was no longer anxious.
In fact, in the final analysis, who is the emperor has nothing to do with her? But if the fourth or fifth prince succeeds to the throne, then her future career should be smoother.
After all, these two men had recruited her before, and she did not support the eldest prince very much.
She didn't have any friendship with him. Once he was the emperor and his ministers, she didn't want to spend any more effort to surrender to the eldest prince.
Therefore, the eldest prince must not succeed to the throne! If the eldest prince gains the upper hand in the end, she will not stand idly by.
She wanted to touch Xiangsi's head, but her sleeves were empty, and then she remembered that she had just asked Xiangsi to go back and report that she was safe.
"Here we come!" Zong Zeming's tone suddenly sounded a little excited.
Su Yizhao immediately stretched his neck to take a look, and then there was another burst of messy footsteps.
Listening to this sound, there are quite a few people coming to rescue?
Su Yizhao looked at the leader, but when she used the torch to see clearly, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"First assistant?" Su Yizhao was stunned.
Although the first assistant did support the fourth prince before, judging from the attitude of the fourth prince asking her to investigate the first assistant, it seems that the other party does not trust the first assistant!
So this assistant is here to support the fourth prince? Is he so loyal?
She turned to look at Zong Zeming, "Are you from the fourth prince's lineage?"
When did the Fourth Prince bribe Zong Zeming? Why didn't she know?
I had known that the two had a good relationship before, but the fourth prince was always good at scheming and pretending, so he might not really have a close relationship with Zong Zeming, right?
Zong Zeming smiled and shook his head, "No! Look! There will be more fun later!"
Su Yizhao suddenly thought of something, and his eyes widened in shock.
"I didn't expect that!" She shook her head and sighed. The dragon chair was really surrounded by wolves!
The fourth prince and others were in a stalemate. When they saw the chief assistant coming, they had different expressions on their faces.
The eldest prince is a little nervous. The first assistant is from the fourth prince's lineage. It seems that he has brought many people here. Will it turn the situation around?
Jiang Yishou was stunned for a moment. Did he defect too early? What should he do now?
However, the fourth prince's face became grim. No one knew better than him that the chief minister supported him on the surface, but in fact he was very ambitious.
Bringing troops here now is not to support him at all, but has other plans.
"It's so lively!" E Chongming looked at the people competing against each other with a look on his face as if he was watching a good show.
Jiang Yishou and the eldest prince were stunned for a moment, and then they both looked at the fourth prince. Why was something wrong?
"Master Chief Assistant, the eldest prince has colluded with the Marquis of Lin'an to rebel. My father is still unconscious. We should guard the imperial city to prevent the thieves from causing trouble."
When the fourth prince saw his chief assistant approaching, he struck preemptively and said indignantly.
The chief assistant narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the people present, and was shocked.
"Oh? The eldest prince and the marquis made such a big mistake?"
As the chief assistant said, his face suddenly became serious, "But why do I hear that the fourth prince, like the two of you, wants to hold the emperor hostage and ascend the throne as soon as possible?"
His eyes became fierce, and then he glanced at the fourth prince.
"Your Highness, Fourth Highness! This is your fault. The Emperor has decided to make you the Crown Prince in four days, so why should you be anxious?"
The chief assistant's words can be said to be a frame-up to a certain extent. Look at this understatement, and he has been accused of it.
Su Yizhao curled his lips. No wonder people say that the words of civil servants are more terrifying than the sharp swords in the hands of soldiers on the battlefield.
This frame-up came right out of the mouth! It was so natural to say it.
"Chief Assistant, what do you mean? This prince wants to organize rebels to enter the royal study to protect the safety of my father. Why are you confusing right and wrong? Are you trying to help the evildoer?"
