The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1228 Only one step away

The prince couldn't help panicking, feeling the cold air that was about to approach his body, he couldn't help shivering all over.

Between the lightning and flint, the sound of weapons clashing reached the prince's ears, and he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

Hearing the sound of clanging weapons, the prince's heart finally calmed down.

"Your Highness! Are you alright? Your Highness, please forgive me for being late in your humble post!" A voice of apology came, and then someone pulled the rope tied behind the Prince.

The long sword cut the rope, and the cloth covering his eyes was torn away. The prince quickly closed his eyes, and the sudden light was particularly glaring.

The body is not flexible due to being bound for a long time.I couldn't move my legs and arms, and I couldn't use all my strength.

"It's not too early or too late, it's hard for you!" The prince was really dissatisfied, because if he was one step late, his blood would be splashed on the spot.

But he also knew that this person had tried his best to save him in time.

"Is there a proper arrangement for General He?" After a rough reassurance, the prince asked about his previous deployment.

"It has been arranged properly, but the Hall of Supreme Harmony was surrounded, after all, it took a lot of effort." The commander and Zhi Baiguan replied very respectfully. As an official of the prince's faction, he has made a lot of contributions this time, and he was promoted. Just around the corner.

As long as the prince ascends the throne smoothly, his credit cannot escape.Thinking of this, he was suddenly excited.

"Your Highness! I will help you up!" Bai Guan supported the prince, his expression becoming more respectful.

The prince was supported to stand up, the other side seemed to be still fighting, and the voice did not stop.After a few breaths, the prince's eyes adjusted to the light before slowly opening them.

The sight is a man dressed as an inner servant fighting with several guards, "Is this the one who kidnapped my palace?"

Because several people besieged one person, the servant gradually fell into a disadvantage and panicked in response.The prince carefully observed the other person's appearance and confirmed that he did not know him before.

There are so many servants in the palace, it is impossible for him to know all of them.What's more, this person may have dressed up as a servant for convenience.

"It's him, but he's just doing things for others. If you want to know who is manipulating behind the scenes, you have to capture this person before you can find out."

The crown prince nodded, seeing that this person didn't notice, and after receiving a sword on his body, he felt relieved.

"Although I failed to attract the person behind the scenes this time, it can be regarded as something rewarding. It is not in vain for me to risk my life. Let's go! How can I succeed without me in a day like today?"

The prince sneered and walked ahead.

"My lord, it's bad! Our people are surrounded by General He's men." A soldier suddenly ran into Guangning Palace and reported to King Gong.

"What's going on?" Prince Gong frowned, and looked towards Lu Chen in the hall.

Lu Chen was also very surprised. Before he came here, things went very smoothly.He Zhaoguang had already found someone to restrain him, how could he appear in the palace at this moment?
"Where is Deputy General Xiao? Didn't he lead troops to stop He Zhaoguang?" Lu Chen shouted at the soldiers.

"I didn't see Lieutenant Xiao at all! The humble officer saw blood on these soldiers, it must have been a fight, Lieutenant Xiao."

Lu Chen's face darkened, how could He Zhaoguang set up defenses against Xiao Hanjing?Xiao Hanjing has always been trusted by He Zhaoguang, but at this critical moment, He Zhaoguang actually took Xiao Hanjing's army instead.

not good!Lu Chen was shocked suddenly, "My lord, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, we have to leave the palace as soon as possible!"

Prince Gong naturally knew that something was wrong, Xiao Hanjing was only a lieutenant general, even though he had some military power, he was no match for He Chaoguang.

In addition, this person has not appeared until now, so it seems that there is more than good luck.He glanced at the people present, and saw that the third child still seemed to have nothing to do with him, while the fourth child seemed to be still immersed in the grief of losing his friend.

Not to mention the other ministers, they were already in the corner, their faces full of panic.

Looking at the queen again, Prince Gong couldn't help snorting coldly.I saw that the queen's eyes were full of hope and ridicule, as if saying that he was wishful thinking.

A sense of gloom welled up in Prince Gong's heart, he couldn't be reconciled!How could he be willing to come to this point?

Just one step away, just one step away, he can become the master of this world.

"Does the empress think that He Chaoguang belongs to the prince? It's ridiculous. He may not be here to save you and the prince."

Prince Gong sneered, and then told Lu Chen, "Let Pei Shu retreat quickly and follow the second plan."

"Yes!" Lu Chen turned around and left the hall without even looking at Prince Jing.

"What do you mean by that? The crown prince has always valued General He, how could he be a traitor? Don't provoke dissension, do you think I will believe it?"

When the queen heard what Prince Gong said, she couldn't help feeling suspicious, but how could she admit it openly?
"It's up to you whether you believe it or not!" Prince Gong squinted at her, his eyes full of contempt.

Seeing that Prince Gong said so firmly, the empress became more suspicious.

"Let's go! We have to ask the empress to accompany us for a while!" Prince Gong knew that the situation was over, and if he wanted to leave the palace unscathed, he had to kidnap the empress.

The queen is their aunt. No matter who is doing the oriole, the queen cannot die, at least not in full view.

"How dare you do this? I'm your aunt." Seeing Li Chang'an had someone put a long sword around her neck, the empress finally turned pale, feeling both shocked and angry.

"Hehe! Auntie?" Prince Gong sneered, and then turned his gaze to the other people present.

"My lord! What should we do with these people?" Li Changan looked at Wu Wu and Prince Jing with a fierce look in his eyes, which made Prince Jing's heart tense.

"Big brother, younger brother didn't dare to act rashly. Is my sick body, big brother worried?" Prince Jing's complexion darkened, his pale lips were tightly pursed, and a sneer appeared on his face.

"Are you a sick child? Who knows if you have been really sick for so many years? Weeds must be removed by the roots. Don't blame the big brother for being cruel. Only by killing you can the future troubles be eliminated forever!"

Prince Gong squinted his eyes slightly, no matter who is doing the oriole, naturally the fewer people competing with him for the throne, the better.Kill one, lose one.

Since he blatantly rebelled, the court naturally couldn't tolerate him.If it weren't for him still leaving a way out, today would definitely be a bloody battle.

Prince Gong took a look at this magnificent Guangning Palace, he still has a chance to make a comeback, it is impossible to fight to the death.

"Do it!" Prince Gong ordered, and Li Changan quickly drew his sword, which made Prince Jing's heart tremble.

Wu Wu frowned, the index finger of his right hand slightly curled up, and several members of the Imperial Guard behind Li Changan quickly grabbed the handle of the knife.

"Wait a minute!"
