Chapter 428 So bold
The Imperial Guards have always performed their duties conscientiously and have the trust of the emperor.
Everyone felt wronged when they were wrongly accused of colluding with the assassin.
Therefore, when they saw the Imperial Guards' usurpation of their power, they felt that the Imperial Guards were deliberately instigating them and had ill intentions.
"Your Majesty, I suspect this is a trap they set."
Pang Sheng shouted and even tried to stop the emperor from leaving with the imperial guards.
The scene was in chaos. Emperor Yongfeng suddenly remembered Prince Rui and began to search for him everywhere.
After looking around, I finally saw King Rui fighting with an assassin.
"King Rui!"
Emperor Yongfeng blurted out.
Prince Rui turned around and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, please return to the palace first."
Fang Yue appeared out of nowhere, holding the emperor's arm and saying, "Your Majesty, please follow me and leave here quickly!"
Emperor Yongfeng then made up his mind and stumbled out with the Imperial Guards.
The road to escape looks bumpy.
He hadn't felt anything when he came here in the sedan chair, but now he was being carried out by a group of people. Emperor Yongfeng suddenly felt that the road in the mountains was too difficult to walk on.
The originally unstable qi and blood suddenly surged, and Emperor Yongfeng suddenly felt a heat in his heart, and he spat out a mouthful of blood with a "wow".
"Your Majesty, how are you?"
Fang Ping asked quickly.
Emperor Yongfeng grabbed his arm and wiped his mouth with his other hand, then suddenly remembered, "Where is the Fourth Prince?"
Fang Ping's heart skipped a beat, and he consoled him, "The Fourth Prince is protected by the Imperial Guards, Your Majesty, please rest assured!"
Emperor Yongfeng nodded and continued to run forward with the Imperial Guards.
In the hunting ground, the Fourth Prince was surrounded by assassins.
The main purpose of this operation was to assassinate the Fourth Prince and take Emperor Yongfeng hostage, so there was no chance for the Fourth Prince to survive.
The Fourth Prince hid behind Xiao Huaian, and Xiao Huaian tied the two of them together with a hemp rope. With every movement of Xiao Huaian, the Fourth Prince seemed to be carried and turned half a circle.
"Wang San, you have done a great job in protecting the master this time. As long as you protect me well, I will ask my father to promote you when I return."
The Fourth Prince saw that Xiao Huaian was coping somewhat reluctantly, and was afraid that he would abandon him, so he quickly made some promises.
"I think you have the ability to be the commander of the imperial guards, or the commander of the imperial guards. If you don't like it, I can make you a general..."
"Shut up!"
Xiao Huaian was a little annoyed by his noise and shouted at him to shut up.
The fourth prince immediately shut his mouth obediently and dared not say another word.
At this moment, a cold light flashed past the Fourth Prince's ear. The Fourth Prince was shocked and immediately took Xiao Huaian to the side, reminding him: "Be careful!"
Xiao Huaian slightly turned sideways and used the sword in his hand to block the knife in the assassin's hand.
Before the opponent could withdraw his moves, he turned his sword around and stabbed at the opponent's chest.
Hot blood gushed out and splashed all over the Fourth Prince's face.
The Fourth Prince had been pampered since childhood, and had never seen such a scene before. The bloody smell on his face almost made him vomit. He immediately closed his eyes and cried out in a mournful voice: "Wang San..."
"Your Highness, please stay calm. This is just the beginning. If Your Highness can't even handle this little scene, just think about the soldiers on the battlefield!
The soldiers who went into battle to kill the enemy faced situations that were a hundred times more cruel than this."
He kept moving as he spoke.
After a while, two more assassins were eliminated.
At this time, King Rui also dealt with the assassins on his side and came over here.
"how's it going?"
Xiao Huaian asked when he saw King Rui.
King Rui looked calm and confident, saying, "No problem."
……
On the other hand, the exhausted Emperor Yongfeng finally discovered the problem.
He found that the direction he was running towards was not the palace, but an uninhabited place.
Emperor Yongfeng's heart skipped a beat and he could not help but stop. An incredible guess arose in his mind: "Lord Fang, where are you taking me?"
Seeing that Emperor Yongfeng stopped walking, Fang Yue stopped urging him.
He also stopped, bowed to Emperor Yongfeng, and said in a clear voice: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Emperor Yongfeng was almost so angry that he passed out. He said in disbelief, "Fang Yue, what are you doing? Do you know where this is?"
Fang Yue's expression remained unchanged, and he continued calmly, "Your Majesty, rumors are spreading in the court, and even the people think that the emperor is going to pass the throne to that little grandson of unknown origin.
For the sake of the country and the people of Daliang, Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Emperor Yongfeng was angry and anxious, and he already understood what Fang Yue was going to do.
He couldn't help but curse, "Why didn't you say these words in the court, but had to come to this deserted place to say them, Fang Yue, what on earth are you thinking?"
Fang Yue remained motionless, with the same expression as before, and continued: "Your Majesty, I am loyal to Daliang, and I really can't bear to see the throne of Daliang fall to someone else. Xiao Huaian is the son of a criminal, and Your Majesty knows better than me what happened back then. If you think about it from a different perspective, who would raise the grandson who killed their entire family well?
Even if this child has some characteristics of the old prince, it is difficult to say whether Xiao Huaian did something to him.
To take a step back, even if the child is really the son of the old prince, he has not grown up in the capital for these years, and we don't know what ideas those people have instilled in him.
Besides, he is still young, and he will definitely need someone to assist him in the future. I am afraid that Xiao Huaian is just using the prince's son as bait to covet the imperial power of Daliang."
"Who said I would pass the throne to that child? I have my own decision on such matters, but it will definitely not be to that child."
Forced by the situation, Emperor Yongfeng had to take a step back.
He thought that as long as he promised Fang Yue that the throne would not be passed on to Chang'an, they would be satisfied.
Who knew that after hearing his words, Fang Yue took out a prepared imperial edict from behind.
"Your Majesty, I am concerned about the country and have no other options, so I resorted to this desperate measure.
I am afraid that what the emperor said now is just a temporary measure, and he will suddenly change his mind when he returns to the palace, so I have already drafted an imperial edict for the emperor before I came here. "
"Fang Yue, you are so bold!"
Emperor Yongfeng was dumbfounded.
He didn't expect Fang Yue to be so bold.
He looked up and saw unfamiliar faces everywhere. The only familiar ones were people like Zhao Chunlei, who were obviously from Fang Yue's group.
Fang Yue continued, "The Third Prince has been intelligent since childhood, diligent and studious, and has been helping the Emperor solve problems in the court over the years.
In order to let that child ascend to the throne, Xiao Huaian and Prince Rui's party deliberately framed the Third Prince. Please, Emperor, conduct a thorough investigation and clear the Third Prince's name!"
