Chu Lan took someone away from the emperor and hurriedly left the palace.
The beautiful lady coquettishly shouted from inside the curtain, "Your Majesty!"
The emperor turned around, lay back on the bed, and said "hmm" tiredly.
Wanmei took the initiative to rest her head on the emperor's arm and moved to lie beside him. She drew circles on his heart with her fingers, "Your Majesty, you are so kind to King Jing."
The emperor grabbed her hand, put it in his palm and rubbed it, "He is well-behaved, obedient, filial and knows how to please me, so I will naturally treat him a lot better."
Wanmei said coquettishly, "Prince Jing doesn't have a princess yet, right?"
"Huh?" The emperor tilted his head to look at her, his eyes darkening, "Why, have you fallen in love with my son?"
The beautiful woman gave the emperor an angry look, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? This concubine is yours. The concubine asked Jing Wang because she has a younger sister."
"Oh? You still have a sister?" The gloom in the emperor's eyes faded.
"Yes, I have a little sister who is about the same age as King Jing and has a very good temperament." Wanmei said tentatively, "Your Majesty, look..."
The emperor nodded, "Let her enter the palace another day. Let me take a look. My princes have grown up, and it's time to choose a concubine. When my sons reach the age of getting married, I am already old in the blink of an eye."
"Your Majesty, you are not old." Wanmei quickly hugged the emperor, "You are still young."
"You don't have to coax me, I know I am getting old. My sons are all looking forward to my death and are starting to fight for the throne." The emperor came to him from Chu Lan just now to ask for someone, but in vain he felt the vicissitudes of life.
The beautiful woman pouted, "No, I just think you are still young."
The emperor was so happy that he was coaxed by the beauty, "Okay, okay, I'm still young."
The secret guards of the Nanyang Palace who followed Old Nanyang King into the capital also received the news immediately and reported to Old Nanyang King, "Old Prince, King Jing, together with the fourth and fifth princes, is afraid that it will be detrimental to His Highness the Seventh Highness." p>
Old Nanyang King put down the scroll, "Is the news reliable?"
The secret guard nodded, "Prince Jing, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince gathered in Mingyue Tower. After that, Prince Jing entered the palace. The secret guards in the two princes' mansion seemed to be making some moves."
The face of the old King Nanyang changed slightly, "Send someone to watch and see what King Jing is doing when he enters the palace?"
The secret guard nodded, "My subordinates guess that Prince Jing doesn't have many men. He doesn't want to miss this opportunity to kill His Majesty the Seventh Highness, so he must have gone to the palace to ask His Majesty to borrow some people."
The old King Nanyang was immediately furious, "We are both sons, how come he thinks His Majesty will definitely help him?"
The secret guard remained silent.
The old King Nanyang stood up, walked back and forth on the ground twice, and suddenly sighed, "So what if we are both sons? There will always be the one you like the most. Chu Yan is not popular with your majesty, and you may not really be interested in the king. After all, Chu Yan is not favored by your majesty.
, we are holding him back by settling down in Beijing."
The secret guard immediately said, "His Royal Highness Seventh has never thought that we are holding him back in settling down. Old Prince, please don't think so. The top priority in entering the capital is that I would like to ask Mr. Old Prince if we can send our people to Wufeng Mountain to help His Highness Seventh Prince."
?"
"Huai'an followed to Wufeng Mountain. With him here..." Old Nanyang King said halfway before shaking his head, "No, Huai'an will not get involved in the fight between their brothers. He is the heir of the Gu family and wants to serve the Gu family.
You can’t take sides in your future plans.”
The secret guard nodded, "My subordinates feel the same way."
"Let's check first to see if your majesty will give it to the people who respect the king. If your majesty does, you will go to Wufeng Mountain to support you. Your majesty shouldn't have intervened. It would be too unfair to treat Chu Yan even if he is his son. He should have hurt Chu Yan more.
My heart! He protects King Jing, and I will protect my grandson." Old Nanyang King made the decision.
"Yes." The secret guard went immediately.
Not long after, the secret guard returned from inquiring about the information and reported to the old King Nanyang, "Your Majesty gave King Jing a hundred secret guards. The fourth prince and the fifth prince jointly provided 800 secret guards, and King Jing himself provided two hundred and fifty secret guards."
The total number of secret guards is more than 1,100 people, and His Highness the Seventh Prince left the capital with only 500 guards. Although he also secretly brought a group of secret guards, the Taoist priests who escorted Wufeng Mountain to escort the gold and silver to Nanyang should be
It took several people."
"Go, take the secret guards of Nanyang Prince's Mansion to help him." Old Nanyang Prince made a decisive decision.
"Yes!" The secret guard immediately took the people there.
There are three hundred secret guards of the Nanyang Palace who followed the old King Nanyang to Beijing. Although they are not many, they are all top-notch masters who have been trained since childhood. The An family has its own special method for training secret guards, so training
The masters produced, not to mention one against ten, are almost the same. Otherwise, when An Huajin brought Chu Siyan to the capital, he would not have wiped out the large number of dead soldiers raised by Zhang Chengze unscathed.
The old King Nanyang was very loyal and patriotic to Chu and the emperor since he was a child. However, your Majesty today is really not as good as the previous emperors and has no tolerance for others. Ever since he ascended the throne, he has been very wary and suspicious of the An family.
, and now it has even evolved to the point where even his own son is helping another son to assassinate and fight for the throne.
He was originally a stubborn person and never thought of helping his grandson fight for the throne, but now, he had to make this decision. After all, Chu Yan is really a good boy. The An family has dragged him down, so the An family naturally wants to help him.<
/p>
The secret guards of Nanyang Palace moved quickly and took a shortcut, but they reached Wufeng Mountain faster than the fourth prince, fifth prince, King Jing, and hundreds of imperial guards.
At the foot of Wufeng Mountain, the secret guard met Chu Yan.
Chu Yan was a little surprised, "Grandpa sent you here?"
"Yes, the old prince has received the news. Your Majesty has given King Jing a hundred imperial guards. King Jing, together with the fourth and fifth princes, have more than 1,100 secret guards to deal with you. The old prince is afraid that something will happen to you, so he sent
I’m here to help.”
Chu Yan remained silent.
Although he also expected that the emperor would agree to Chu Lan, after all, he really hated him and doted on Chu Lan, but he was still vaguely disappointed. After all, he was his father.
Now, the relationship between father and son deep in his heart has been completely severed.
The emperor personally told him that there is no family relationship between father and son in the Tian family. If you want to sit in that position, you have to step on the bones of your brothers. Anyone who wants to sit in a big position is ruthless.
"Your Majesty the Seventh Highness?" The secret guard looked at Chu Yan without saying a word for a long time, and then made a tentative sound.
Chu Yan could reject Gu Qingyan, but he would not reject the love and care that the old Nanyang King had for him. Chu Lan had the support of his father and the protection of his grandfather, so there was nothing to be sad about.
He nodded, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
The secret guard breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that His Highness Seventh Prince was too stubborn. It seemed that His Highness was not such a person. Fortunately, he was not.
Chu Yan's manpower is indeed not enough to cope with the combined efforts of the four parties. If he has to cope with it, he can only do it reluctantly, and he will definitely pay a heavy price. But with the help of the secret guards of Nanyang Palace, it is enough. At least, he will not pay a heavy price.
Price.
So, when the four forces came together to Wufeng Mountain, there was no one at the foot of Wufeng Mountain. The leaders of the four parties looked at each other and felt that Chu Yan was destined to be at Wufeng Mountain, so they all went up to Wufeng Mountain.
The last batch of gold and silver has not been transported yet, so Wufeng Mountain has not been blown up yet. It happened that Chu Lan had a bad idea, so Chu Yan and his people were waiting for these people in Wufeng Mountain.
As soon as the four forces came up the mountain, the secret guards of the Seventh Prince's Mansion and the secret guards of Nanyang King, who had been prepared for a long time, faced off against the forces of the four parties.
Chu Yan stood on the highest peak of Wufeng Mountain, looking at the people mingling below with compassion.
He once thought that as his legitimate son, he was afraid that one day he would inevitably face blood and blades. Whether he fought for it or not, he was destined to be unable to escape this status, but he never thought that this day would come so quickly. It took two full hours for this bloody battle to stop.
Chu Yan's secret guards injured a hundred people and killed 30 people. No one of the secret guards of Nanyang Palace was injured or killed.
And all the hundreds of imperial guards were dead, including the secret guards of the Fourth Prince's Mansion, the secret guards of the Fifth Prince's Mansion, and the secret guards of Prince Jing's Mansion, no one was spared, and they were all killed.
In other words, not a single person escaped from Wufeng Mountain.
Chu Yan just wanted to keep the scene he witnessed with his own eyes in Wufeng Mountain, where no one knew about it except him, the secret guards in the mansion, and the secret guards in the Anyang Palace. Including King Jing, the fourth prince, the fifth prince, and his father.
Emperor.
He doesn't need to stay alive to report the news, he just needs to bury this day and forget it.
Although King Jing, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince felt confident, they were still nervously waiting for the news. After all, if Chu Yan was killed, they would usher in a new situation.
So, the three of them gathered together and waited for the good news to come.
But from noon to sunset, until it was completely dark, until the dead of night, until late at night, the three of them still did not wait for the news to come back from Wufeng Mountain. Even if a person came back with news, even if a carrier pigeon flew and the eagle came back with news, there was no news. p>
King Jing's face gradually turned white, and in the end, it became whiter and whiter.
The fourth prince and the fifth prince also felt that something was not good, and they all looked at King Jing in horror, "Eighth brother, there is no news about the people we sent out so far, it can't be..."
Are they all folded?
When these words came to their lips, they didn't want to ask them out for fear of being unlucky.
Chu Lan pursed her lips tightly, and it took a long time before she uttered a sentence, "Wait a little longer, wait until tomorrow, if there is not tomorrow..."
