King An was imprisoned in a secret passage, feeling cold and hungry.
All he could do was wrap the clothes that Yang Shu had stuffed in layer after layer, hold the cakes and stuff them into his mouth.
How can you enjoy the comfort of eating cold pastries on a snowy day with the hot food delivered by the imperial dining room?
King An scolded him while eating: "You stinky boy! I usually yell at you and pretend to be well-behaved, but you dare to play tricks on me like this when you find an opportunity! When I get out of here, if I don't punish you, your surname will no longer be Jiang!"
"
He was also careless and did not want to think about how he was different from what he used to be. It was Yang Shu who bullied him before, but now it was Yang Shu who was bullying him. When such an abnormal thing happened suddenly, he did not worry about his life. He only thought that Yang Shu was deliberately bullying him.
He has no consciousness of being the heir to the empire at all.
After eating most of the pastries, my stomach was finally full.
King An felt a little sleepy and his head was shaking a little bit.
He had just fallen asleep, but suddenly he woke up, glanced at the darkness in the distance, almost cried out of fright, and scolded Yang Shu again.
At this time, he heard a voice coming from inside.
"Your Highness?" Is this Eunuch Liu?
King An became excited, slapped the wall and shouted: "Eunuch Liu, please get me out quickly!"
However, Eunuch Liu didn't seem to hear it and continued to talk to Yang Shu: "I have arranged what you ordered."
Yang Shu said "Huh" and said, "You should step back and find a safe place to hide. Don't let anyone find you."
Huh? King An felt strange.
Eunuch Liu replied: "Your Highness is the only one here, and I'm worried. Why don't you just ask me to stay and close the door?"
Yang Shu said: "It will be very dangerous then, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you."
But Eunuch Liu smiled: "Your Highness, don't worry, I have been in the Imperial City for many years and know some ways of self-defense."
I don't know what Eunuch Liu was doing there. After a while, Yang Shu said, "Okay. If anything happens, you can protect Prince An."
"yes."
It was quiet again on the other side of the wall.
King An was confused when he heard it, and then he felt something strange.
That brat locked him up and asked Eunuch Liu to protect him? Eunuch Liu didn't think it was strange either?
Is there something inside that he doesn't know about?
King An didn't wait long when there was movement outside Mingguang Hall.
He heard Eunuch Liu report: "Your Highness, people are here."
Yang Shu said: "Go and send a message and ask him to come in."
"yes."
Then, Eunuch Liu's slightly sharp voice came vaguely into his ears, and King An was stunned.
Second brother? He wants to force me into the palace?
...
In the Mingguang Palace, the second prince was surprised: "Yang Xiaosan!"
He knew that this boy and Lao San had been getting along recently, and he also knew that Lao San loved to take him with him. However, when it came to seizing the palace, he was preoccupied with how to kill King An and had no intention of sharing it with Yang Shu.
His existence is also ignored.
At this moment, he saw Yang Shu sitting in the hall. He immediately turned around and searched the hall: "Where is the third child? Doesn't he want to talk to me?"
Mr. Hong was also stunned for a moment, but his reaction was faster than that of the second prince.
Hearing this, he covered his forehead.
His Highness the Second Prince is really... he is usually quite smart, so why is his reaction so slow now? Isn't this obvious? The His Highness Liu Eunuch just mentioned was the King of Yue, not the King of An.
When an accident like this occurs, it's clear that something has gone off the rails.
Sure enough, Yang Shu smiled and said: "The one you want to talk to, Second Emperor's Uncle, is your nephew! As for where Third Emperor's Uncle is..." He smiled at the Second Emperor, "Guess!"
This tone is totally derogatory.
The second prince came back to his senses and glared at him angrily: "Yang Xiaosan, don't toast me and you will be punished with a fine drink! Hand over the third prince obediently, and I will spare your life!"
"Wrong." Yang Shu stood up and slowly took off the half-covered python robe of King An.
"What?" The second prince was stunned.
"My nephew has already returned to the clan in accordance with the imperial decree. How come the second emperor's uncle still talks about Yang Xiaosan? Does this mean he does not acknowledge the imperial decree? Also, it is my turn to say the following sentence."
He took out his umbrella from under the desk and spoke slowly and calmly, but his tone was colder than the ice and snow outside: "If you surrender now, I will spare your life!"
The second prince had never seen him like this before, and when he saw his eyes, he couldn't help but shudder.
The second prince said the same words in an extremely arrogant manner, but if it was Yang Shu who heard it, their hairs would stand on end.
Shi Qun stepped forward and stopped in front of the second prince, making a defensive posture.
He also had experience in the military and was very familiar with Yang Shu's aura.
This is the aura that belongs to the battlefield. Only after being baptized by iron and blood can it be so chilling.
He couldn't help but think of the situation when the Yue King returned to Beijing.
At that time, the reputation of the King of Yue spread throughout the world, and everyone said that he had made great contributions in the northwest battlefield. Without him, there would not have been that great victory.
Shi Qun didn't take it seriously. He was also a general, and he didn't know what was going on in the army. The credit was never given to one person, but the pork was divided after the fight. He was afraid that Zong Xu wanted to give him face and deliberately pushed the credit to him.
After Yang Shu returned to Beijing, he returned to his old playboy behavior. Apart from eating and drinking with Prince An, he only thought about getting a wife.
Gradually, those who were impressed by him because of the great victory in the Northwest put this matter behind them, thinking that he was just using his merits to return to the clan and get a title.
But now, Shi Qun believed it.
If he had not been killed in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, he would not have such an aura.
He suddenly felt that they were exaggerating.
"Protect Your Highness!" Shi Qun blurted out.
"Yes!" The personal guard team immediately stepped forward, taking a defensive stance and pointing their swords and guns at Yang Shu.
Mr. Hong's face looked ugly, and he even wanted to hit the wall in frustration.
Instead of "taking him down", it was about "protecting His Highness", and his momentum immediately dropped to the lowest level. This group of people really failed to achieve anything but failed.
Despite this, he still worked hard and came forward to smooth things over.
"His Royal Highness the King of Yue, it is difficult for you to defeat four people with just two fists. We are all outside. No matter how brave you are, you can't shake a tree like a fly. Speaking of it, you are from the lineage of Prince Sihuai, and your relationship with Prince An is not the same as that of my Highness.
It's the same. What you can get when Prince An ascends to the throne, my Highness can give it to you, so why take such a big risk for him?"
Yang Shu laughed and said: "It's hard for two fists to defeat four hands? It's just a self-comfort for the weak. If you don't come in, I'll make the decision. If you do, then it will be up to me."
Mr. Hong was stunned for a moment and said: "You can beat ten, but can you beat hundreds or thousands? As long as we shout, the people outside..."
Yang Shu looked contemptuously and interrupted him: "You shout and try! If you can open this door, I will admit defeat today."
Mr. Hong had a bad feeling in his heart and looked at Shi Qun.
As soon as Shi Qun winked, two personal guards immediately came forward and tried to open the palace door.
However...
"General, we can't open it!"
Shi Qun didn't believe it, so he went to try it himself, and he couldn't be swayed at all.
Yang Shu smiled and said: "Why don't you think about it? This is where His Majesty administers government. It's like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. How can it be so easy to break in? Well, you have been surrounded. Surrender quickly!" (To be continued)
