Your Majesty, please stop messing around.

dark night.

A palace change is going on quietly.

There was lightning and thunder in the sky and heavy rain.

In the palace, countless elite soldiers wearing armor and holding ice blades were hiding in the darkness, gathering quietly and quickly approaching the front.

On the way, they soon encountered the Imperial Guards in the palace, and a war was about to break out!

The weapons collided, and with the blood intertwined, a dangerous fierce battle began.

Although the imperial guards in the palace are brave, the elite soldiers under the third prince are all elite. They have been secretly trained over the years and are his biggest trump card. Well-trained, they are all top-notch masters.

Both in terms of hard power and level of cooperation, they are much more powerful than these forbidden troops. The Imperial Guards were caught off guard and soon fell to one side.

The sound of clashing blades and screams and wails resounded throughout the world, but were quickly covered up by the sound of rain.

Within the palace, corpses could be seen everywhere, and the ground was dyed red with blood, which was quickly washed away by the rain, leaving a faint smell of blood in the air.

The heavy rain covered up all the sins!

Along the way, the elite soldiers under the Third Prince were blocking people and killing Buddhas. As if they were in a deserted place, they swarmed towards the Nourishing Heart Hall.

Health Palace!

That is the residence of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

The third prince’s goal tonight is the prince!

…

Late at night, outside the Yangxin Hall, there was a trace of chaos!

The third prince, wearing armor and fully armed, slowly appeared outside the Yangxin Palace, surrounded by his elite men.

At this moment, the lights in Yangxin Hall are brightly lit. The palace door had already been knocked open, and several guards at the door fell in a pool of blood. There was chaos all around, and it was obvious that a fierce fight had just occurred.

There were rapid footsteps in the hall, accompanied by bursts of fighting sounds. Until the end, peace comes.

At this time, a soldier quickly walked out of the palace and reported: "Your Highness, my subordinates have lived up to Your Highness's trust and have now taken control of the Yangxin Palace!"

When the third prince heard the news, his eyes suddenly focused: "Where is Li Cunning?"

"The prince is in the palace."

The general said: "My subordinates have sent people to surround the people inside. There are only two or three guards left around the prince. He is still struggling. However, even if he has wings, he will never be able to fly out!"

Upon hearing this, the third prince's eyes suddenly lit up. At this moment, he finally couldn't hold back his excitement.

He has been preparing for so many years, isn't it just for tonight? !

Unexpectedly, everything went so smoothly!

He personally led 300 elite soldiers, cooperated with the imperial army guarding the palace gate, broke into the palace without any effort, and went straight to the Yangxin Hall.

These patrolling imperial troops in the palace, as well as the guards inside and outside Yangxin Hall, presented no obstacles to the third prince. He fought his way to the outside of Yangxin Hall without much hindrance and successfully controlled the place.

He also succeeded in besieging Li Cunning and captured him with ease!

Now, everything is under his control.

too easy!

It was so simple that the third prince was even a little confused and unsure... If he had known it was so simple, why did he need to prepare for so long? !

The third prince was pleasantly surprised, but also a little dazed, and confirmed again: "Li Cunning, are you really in there?"

The soldiers swore sworn: "My subordinates saw with their own eyes that the prince is inside, there is no mistake!"

"Very good!"

After confirming this, the third prince was overjoyed. At the same time, a ferocious look quickly appeared on his face.

"kill him!"

"Do it now to avoid long nights and endless dreams!"

Confirming that Li Cunning had no way to retreat, the third prince did not hesitate at all.

Before Li Cunning died, everything was not settled. To avoid any accidents, kill them first!

The third prince deeply understands that villains die from talking too much, and must not give them a chance to breathe.

However, when he heard this order, the soldier in front of him was stunned for a moment: "Your Highness, I really, really want to kill..."

There was something uneasy in his voice.

Although following the third prince to rebel was already a serious crime of beheading. But if they want to kill the prince with their own hands, these soldiers still don't dare to do it.

After all, that is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

more importantly……

If anyone kills His Royal Highness, what happens next? The person who does it is the scapegoat!

"how?"

The third prince glanced coldly at the soldiers in front of him.

The soldier suddenly trembled. At this time, Situ Yan next to him said: "Your Highness, I'm afraid something is wrong!"

"What?" The third prince frowned and looked at him with a gloomy expression.

Situ Yan said: "Your Highness, the prince is still the prince after all. We can't hide what happened tonight, but we can't make it too big, otherwise it won't end well..."

The third prince frowned: "What do you mean?"

"The best solution requires your Highness to personally take action..."

Situ Yan came closer and whispered something.

After hearing this, the third prince looked suspicious and hesitant.

He raised his head and glanced at the brightly lit Nourishing Heart Hall in front of him. He had been waiting for this day for too long.

Now, there is only one last step left...kill Li Cunning!

As soon as Li Cunning died, he could use this to force his father, who was in retreat, to abdicate, and at the same time tell the world that he would be crowned the throne!

As for whether anyone will object?

His troops have entered the city and have taken control of the defense of the capital and palace. By then, it won’t be their turn to oppose!

But now, how to kill Li Cunning has become a problem!

What Situ Yan said did make sense. Li Cunning was the prince after all. His death must not be true.

more importantly……

If he could take the life of his elder brother with his own hands, it would undoubtedly be a more exciting thing for the third prince.

He can prove to everyone that he is no worse than Li Cunning!

At this moment, another soldier quickly walked out of the palace.

"Your Highness!"

"What's the matter?"

"The prince asked his subordinates to bring a message to His Highness!"

Hearing this, the third prince's eyes turned slightly cold.

"What's the matter?"

"The prince said that he wants to see His Highness."

meet him?

The third prince immediately became alert.

Now that the capital and the palace have almost fallen into his hands, Li Cunning is unable to fly. Under such circumstances, what tricks is he trying to play?

"The prince said that he wanted to see his highness for the last time during a meeting with his brothers. The prince also said..."

The soldier paused.

"What else can you say?"

"The prince said... Your Highness has made full preparations tonight and has completely controlled the situation. Are you still afraid of a terminally ill person?"

Hearing this, the third prince's eyes narrowed.

He was indeed a little uneasy.

Before Li Cunning was completely dead, he was not completely relieved.

But when he heard Li Cunning saying that he was terminally ill, the third prince stared: "How is Li Cunning's health?"

"His face is very pale and he looks weak. He doesn't seem to be pretending."

The third prince was silent for a moment, then turned to look at the military advisor Situ Yan on the side: "What do you think?"

Situ Yan pondered for a moment and nodded: "Your Highness, you can go and see him. If the Crown Prince is willing to take the initiative to give up the throne, it will be of great benefit to His Highness's rightful appointment..."

"Your Highness doesn't have to bear the crime of killing his brother!"

After hearing this, the third prince hesitated for a moment and finally made up his mind.

He rebelled tonight and didn't care about the infamy he would suffer. But it would be better if you don't have to be scolded.

The third prince said in a deep voice: "All of you, stay outside. No one is allowed to come near. Please report any situation at any time!"

"yes!"

The third prince turned his head: "You guys, come in with me!"

In addition to the general Situ Yan who was with him, the third prince also selected a few trusted experts. After carefully confirming that they were safe and sound, the third prince stepped into the palace.

…

The heavy rain seems to have lightened up a bit.

But in the dark night, there was still an indescribable depressing atmosphere.

Outside the Yangxin Hall, two figures appeared on the eaves of the pavilion not far away.

The two held umbrellas and stood side by side, their eyes falling on the Yangxin Hall. Looking from here, it can be seen that the inside and outside of Yangxin Hall have long been controlled by the third prince.

"what's the situation?"

Lin Jiangnian stared at the scene in front of him with a bit of surprise on his face. All this was different from what he expected!

The third prince came in like this openly?

Is it that simple to take down the prince? !

Moreover, despite Lin Jiangnian's warnings and hints, the prince was still so defenseless and at the mercy of others?

Something's wrong!

As soon as this idea surfaced, Lin Jiangnian gave it up immediately.

He had met the prince, and although he didn't know the details, he didn't look like a fool no matter how he looked at it.

So……

What on earth does he want to do?

Lin Jiangnian squinted his eyes and shifted his gaze to the imperial city not far away shrouded in darkness.

It was pitch black and nothing could be seen clearly.

"What do you think?"

Lin Jiangnian turned to look at Zhiyuan next to him. He was also a little unsure about the situation tonight.

"not that simple."

On the roof, Zhiyuan was dressed in a rare black outfit, fully displaying her cool temperament.

Her temperament is already cold, and with this neat black outfit, holding a black umbrella and standing between heaven and earth in the dark night, it adds a bit of mystery.

She raised her eyes to look forward and spoke calmly.

"How to say?"

Zhiyuan pondered for a moment and said, "It went so well!"

"Tonight, the Three Emperors hardly encountered too many obstacles, even..."

Zhiyuan looked away and said calmly: "Don't you think there are a lot of people missing in the palace tonight?"

"indeed so."

Lin Jiangnian nodded.

He and Zhiyuan were chasing him all the way just now, and they didn't see many eunuchs and maids in the palace on the way. The whole palace was very quiet, so quiet that it was a bit eerie.

Logically speaking, with such a big rebellion happening, even if it was late at night, it would never be so deserted.

However, there were not many palace maids and eunuchs seen along the way. Even in the Yangxin Palace, there were not many palace maids and eunuchs visible.

The maids and eunuchs who used to be around the prince seemed to have disappeared.

Something is very wrong!

"This prince is probably playing a big game..."

Lin Jiangnian squinted at the many elite masters gathered inside and outside the Cultivation Heart Hall not far away, and there were many figures with martial arts aura among them.

These are all the masters and elites that the Third Prince has recruited over the years. Almost all of them have come out for today's big plan.

"Is he asking you to enter the urn?"

Lin Jiangnian thought of some possibility.

Zhiyuan looked forward, her cold side face showing no emotion.

"There is another person who has never appeared."

"who?"

Zhiyuan paused for a moment, turned to look at him again, and said.

"Li Piaomiao."

"..."

at the same time.

Another place in the palace.

The Health Preservation Hall is where the emperor of the Daning Dynasty retreats.

At this moment, there was chaos outside the hall.

In the heavy rain, the imperial guards guarding the outside of the palace collided with the swords of the elite masters under the Third Prince, causing chaos on the scene.

In the hall, a figure hurriedly stepped into the courtyard.

"Eunuch, what's wrong, there was an attack in the palace, and assassins are coming for Your Majesty!"

In the hall of the courtyard, a hunched figure stood behind the screen, with a hoarse and low voice.

"Stop them and never allow them to disturb His Majesty's Qingxiu!"

"Intruders will be killed without mercy!"

"yes!"

The guard turned around and hurriedly left the courtyard to seek help against the assassin.

In the hall, the rickety figure behind the screen still stood in place, as silent as a statue.

At the same time, outside the Health Palace.

Under the heavy rain, a black-robed figure appeared between heaven and earth.

The scary thing was that when the heavy rain fell from the sky, it didn't touch him at all. When the rainwater was about to fall on the corners of his clothes, it seemed as if it was evaporated by an invisible force, and not even a drop could touch the corners of his clothes.

The strong internal force formed an invisible aura around him, blocking the rain from the sky.

In the dark night, he jumped up, shuttled through the crowd, and broke into the health palace as if he was in a deserted place.

"stop!"

In the Health Palace, four masters shot out of the sky in an instant, but they were completely unable to stop his steps.

The black robe turned into a terrifying afterimage and broke into the health palace, reaching the deepest attic in the palace!

That's where the current emperor of the Daning Dynasty is retreating!

Just when the black robe is about to approach the attic!

"call out!"

Outside the attic, a cold light flashed. The black robe waved his robe to block the cold light.

"boom!"

There was an explosion, and the sleeves of the black robe were shattered inch by inch.

The black robe stood there, suddenly raising his head, his face serious.

In view ahead, outside the attic.

I don't know when a figure in white appeared, and I have been waiting for it for a long time.

Wearing a long white dress, her temperament is as cold as ice in winter, biting to the bone.

The figure in white stands in the cold wind and heavy rain, holding an oil-paper umbrella in his left hand, and holding a sword with cold light in his right hand.

The cold sword was unsheathed, and the cold light lingered around the figure in white.

At this moment, between heaven and earth, the woman in white holding an umbrella and holding a sword seemed to become the most stunning scenery in the dark night!

The long white dress looks out of place in the dark night.

It’s so dazzling again!

"Li Piaomiao?!"

Late at night, the man in black robe stood there, his voice hoarse, and his tone gradually became serious.

It seems that I didn't expect the other party to be here!

Li Piaomiao looked at the person in front of him expressionlessly. He was covered in a loose black robe and a ferocious bronze mask. Only a pair of eyes that could not see emotions clearly were revealed. Through the bronze mask, he was looking at a deep and indifferent expression. Stare at her.

Extremely weird!

Leader of the Celestial Cult.

Li Piaomiao recognized this person's identity from the other person's clothing and frowned slightly.

Is it a coincidence that this person appears here tonight, or does the Tianshen Sect also collude with the third prince?

Thoughts flashed by, and Li Piaomiao's expression returned to cold.

The heavy rain fell in patter, hitting the oil paper umbrella, making a crisp sound.

Under the umbrella, Li Miaomiao held the umbrella in one hand and held the sword in the other. The cold wind blew the hem of her skirt and blew up her black hair, revealing a face that was extremely beautiful but without any emotion.

To her, who is this person in front of her and what is his purpose?

None of this matters.

Now that it’s here!

Tonight, he must die!

…
