Chapter 989: Blocking the Sword
"Your Highness! Let's get into the inner sanctum, it's too dangerous. The guards beside the prince were very anxious and shouted to the prince.
The prince was really unwell at the moment, and he didn't dare to stay outside the palace, so he nodded and agreed. He was surrounded and walked inside, and met the eldest princess mother and daughter who ran out.
"Sister Huang, it's dangerous outside, you guys go in quickly."
"Uncle Prince, what's going on outside? I just heard from inside, and it seems as if someone outside is trying to stab you. ”
Qin Yingyuan glanced at the prince, only to see that the prince's face was slightly pale, and his eyes flashed.
As soon as she turned her gaze, she met the realization on the side. Wu gave a salute to Qin Yingyuan, and Qin Yingyuan immediately returned the salute and shouted, "Third uncle!" ”
She often goes to Bao'en Temple, and she must not be able to hide it from the prince. At this time, the more natural he behaves, the less he will arouse the prince's suspicion.
What's more, she is just a boudoir woman, and the prince will not be so wary of her.
"Amitabha! The poor monk has enlightened! ”
The eldest princess looked at the prince with a slightly strange look, and she stepped forward, "Prince, don't worry, Brother Min should be there soon." ”
The crown prince smiled bitterly, "Imperial sister! Zhou Yuan reversed, and he didn't know what happened to Qin Min now. ”
"What?" The eldest princess shouted in surprise.
This was so unexpected that she expected, how could it be? Zhou Yuancong reversed, how dare Zhou Yuancong rebel?
I hadn't seen Zhou Yuancong have had close contact with any faction before, how could it be so reversed?
"Could it be that Zhou Yuancong wanted to seek a usurpation of the throne? Or is there someone behind him? The eldest princess was a little anxious, looking at the prince with undisguised surprise.
The crown prince stared at the eldest princess's eyes for a long time, and then shook his head, "I don't know! This person is not close to any faction, and today is really beyond the expectations of this palace. ”
The palace maid on the side saw that several people were talking, because the eldest princess stepped forward, and a gap was exposed. The fierce light in her eyes was revealed, so why not take this opportunity to eradicate the prince.
She pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and rushed towards the prince at her feet.
The crown prince was unaware and was still talking to the eldest princess.
"Be careful!" The eldest princess lunged forward, and a dagger was plunged into the eldest princess's back.
"Mother!" Qin Yingyuan was shocked, and when she saw the blood flowing out of her mother's body, she also pounced.
The guards were looking around vigilantly, but the palace maid was still cowering to the side. Unexpectedly, it suddenly broke out now and rushed towards the prince.
A kick at the maid, she slumped and bent down to avoid the guard's attack.
Looking at the unscathed prince, the palace maid's face was full of regret. It's a pity that such a good opportunity was ruined by the eldest princess, otherwise this time the prince would have been buried in the imperial mausoleum with the emperor.
"Sister Huang!" The crown prince hugged the eldest princess and ran towards the palace.
"Imperial Doctor!"
Qin Yingyuan followed behind the prince in a panic, looking at her blood-drenched mother, and her heart involuntarily lifted.
Why is my mother so stupid? knew that the prince would not live long, but he still rushed over without hesitation.
Thinking of the dispute between her father and mother, Qin Yingyuan felt that her mother was still too affectionate. If it weren't for my mother's obstruction, my father would have done it a long time ago.
Gu Chengyu's hand holding the hilt of the sword trembled a little, after killing for so long, he couldn't remember how many people he had killed.
Among them, there were also cloaked people and Zhou Yuancong, these two masters were entangled with him, and the man in black beside him made a sneak attack from time to time. He solved one, and the other quickly made up.
Did he dig up their ancestral graves, or did he rob their wives? Why do you keep pestering him?
He's just a fourth-grade official! If you want to be the emperor, you have to assassinate the prince! Under the slogan of assassinating the prince, they all found him one by one.
Let's not talk about the cloak man, Zhou Yuancong was not familiar with him at all. Gu Chengyu had only seen this person once from a distance before, but now people are pestering him, and it seems that he will not give up if he is not captured.
But he was extremely sure that Zhou Yuancong and the cloaked man were by no means in the same group. Because these two people not only fight him, they themselves are often entangled.
When Qin Min arrived with his soldiers, he saw that there was already a river of blood outside the hall.
He searched around the crowd, but did not find the prince, let alone his mother and sister.
Looking at the most intense part of the field, he unexpectedly found that the person who was fighting with many people turned out to be Gu Chengyu. He was not shocked in his heart, it turned out that Gu Chengyu also practiced martial arts, and looked at the moves used by the other party.
Although I sighed in my heart that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was in the middle of the court, but the most important thing at the moment was not these.
After passing Gu Chengyu, he saw Zhou Yuancong, the commander who was fighting with him.
There are not many people he brought, and most of the people who commanded the envoys of Jingwei only obeyed Zhou Yuancong's orders, and these people had already been brought over by Zhou Yuancong.
All he could bring with him were about five hundred soldiers, all of whom he had spent a lot of effort subduing. However, there are a lot of private soldiers in his house, and he also brought these people this time.
When Zhou Yuan saw Qin Min coming, he quickly stepped forward and prepared to take down Qin Min and the others.
Qin Min didn't want to get involved in the fight, he just wanted to find his mother, his sister, and the prince. It's just that now it's impossible to join even if he doesn't join, and Zhou Yuancong will never let him go.
"Lord Zhou, did you bring people to the palace to assassinate His Royal Highness the Prince? You are trying to rebel. ”
Before the fight, Qin Min must be famous. didn't expect Zhou Yuancong to explain, so he rushed straight to Gu Chengyu's side.
Gu Chengyu's head is as big as a cow, what does this Qin Min mean? Is it reinforcements, or is it another hostile force?
If it's a hostile force, then he's really going to be tired of coping.
Qin Yingyuan's heart was anxious, and he heard his brother's voice. She was full of contradictions in her heart at the moment, so she couldn't help but look at the realization on the other side, who was observing the movement outside the hall.
Enlightenment was a little hesitant, things are getting more and more complicated, and I don't know how many passers-by there are here. After that, no one else is allowed to come, and now you can't fish in troubled waters at all, because there are many opponents, and you can't take advantage of it at all.
The prince saw that the imperial doctor was giving medicine to the eldest princess, and he couldn't help but be moved to tears.
He didn't expect that the eldest sister would sacrifice so much for him, he was suspicious of the eldest sister before, thinking that the eldest sister had other thoughts, he really shouldn't.
Sighing, looking at the niece with teary eyes, the prince stepped forward and touched his head, "Don't cry, the imperial doctor said that the dagger is not deep, it should be fine, but you need to recuperate more." It's all up to your mother this time, otherwise this palace won't be able to escape. ”
The palace maid was going to his chest, if it wasn't for the imperial sister who pounced on him, he would really have to go down to accompany his father.
Qin Yingyuan's body stiffened, and then she closed her eyes, feeling guilty in her heart.
Uncle Crown Prince has always been a loving person, but it's a pity that he didn't live long.
And their Qin State Mansion still has to consider the whole family, if they don't abandon the crown prince, other princes will ascend to the throne in the future, and their Qin State Mansion will be doomed.
Enlightenment is still hesitating, he can't be hasty, the opportunity is not easy to come by.
"Everyone put down their weapons, or you will be splattered with blood on the spot!"
