After sending someone to quietly send the prince back, Marquis Zhenwei immediately sent his men to investigate. As expected, the regent was no longer in Haojing, and recently, Mu Tianhua had indeed secretly met with many close associates, and he didn't know what they were discussing.
What's even more suspicious is that tonight the Black Flag Army suddenly organized itself, as if they were taking some action.
That's 30,000 elites!
When he heard the news, Marquis Zhenwei no longer hesitated and immediately sent an order, ordering his men to come all night and night. Due to the haste, he only had time to mobilize nearby troops to enter the palace together and subdue the fourth prince first!
On the other side, in the palace, Mu Tianhua had indeed secretly met with many of his cronies recently, but that was just because the prince was kidnapped, and the regent also disappeared with him.
Mu Tianhua was suspicious, wondering whether the regent had changed his mind or was determined to support the crown prince in ascending the throne, so he was so nervous.
He was already suspicious, and the regent was still unwilling to let him form a contract with the contracted beast, which made him very anxious.
Now that his backer, the Sun family, has fallen, without the support of the regent, he will never be able to ascend the throne in his life.
Tonight, Mu Tianhua also summoned his cronies to discuss in the palace, but suddenly someone said that the Duanmu family had dispatched the imperial army from Haojing, and now the palace was surrounded!
"What? They are so brave!" Mu Tianhua jumped up, veins popping out on his forehead.
"Your Highness, please calm down. With the regent here, I hope they won't cause any trouble!" the fourth prince's adviser said quickly.
"Your Highness, there are rumors that the Prince Regent has been killed by Marquis Zhenwei! They kidnapped the Prince and set up a trap for the Prince Regent to get into!" The guard who came to report said with a pale face.
Mu Tianhua sat down on the chair, as if a mountain suddenly fell over in front of him.
"How is it possible, uncle Huang, how could uncle Huang..."
Everyone was also shocked, but then they were relieved. With the regent's ability, how could the Duanmu family deal with the regent without using despicable means?
Reminiscent of the recent disappearance of the prince, and the fact that the regent never showed up. Every time he asked to see him, he was always blocked from the door. It was already suspicious, but it turned out...
"When I came down, I heard that the Black Flag Army outside the city was ready to go to the capital to avenge the regent!" the guard took the opportunity to say again.
The counselors nearby heard this and offered suggestions one after another.
"Your Highness, what a God-given opportunity! Your Highness immediately ordered his troops to enter the palace, first to protect the emperor, and then to have a bloody battle with the Duanmu family! As long as you use the banner of revenge for the regent, you are not afraid of the black flag army.
Thank you, Your Highness!"
"Exactly, as long as there is the support of the Black Flag Army, no one in the world dares to disapprove of His Highness's ascension to the throne!"
"The prince has long been of no importance. As long as His Highness clears out the Duanmu family this time and makes a great contribution, not only will the obstacles to his future accession to the throne be removed, but the prince will also be able to become the crown prince!"
"This time, God has really given His Highness a great opportunity!"
"My subordinates would like to congratulate the prince first!"
"Congratulations, Prince!"
…
Amid the crowds of compliments, Mu Tianhua was already elated. It seemed that even God was helping him this time!
The Duanmu family overestimated their capabilities, and this time they were wiped out in one fell swoop!

In the Prince's Palace
Wei Ning came back a long time ago and tied up Hongshao, Lvcai and other palace officials and locked them up in the side hall, leaving only Zheng Tianbao.
When Zheng Tianbao saw her showing up, she showed such powerful methods, and her whole body was filled with murderous aura. He was so frightened that he had already become weak and knelt down.
