Chapter 441: Falling into a Huge Crisis
Hearing this, Shen Yanzhi was really happy. He hadn't felt such heartfelt joy for a long time!
"You still remember what I promised you before. When this matter is over, I will disband the harem. It will be just you and me. How about we have a few children to keep each other company?"

Ren Yuhuan looked at Shen Yanzhi with eyes full of affection. There were so many concubines in the harem, but Shen Yanzhi still favored her alone. Ren Yuhuan was already very satisfied.

"Your Majesty, don't tell anyone for now. I'm worried."

"Okay, I'll agree to anything you ask!"

The two of them sat together in a sedan chair, leaning on each other, while Concubine Qi was in a sedan chair at the back.

Concubine Qi originally refused to agree until the Minister of Rites whispered to her that since Ren Yuhuan already had a little prince, this was in accordance with the rules, and Concubine Qi had no choice but to stop making a fuss.

All the way eastward to Mount Tai, the people along the way were in awe, and naturally the White Lotus Sect was ready to stir up trouble.

The members of the White Lotus Sect were wiped out in the south of the Yangtze River and fled northward to the capital, preparing for a final resistance in the capital.

Jia Bin, who had been chasing all the way, also arrived in the capital by speedboat. He dismounted and went to the new team to pay a visit to Shen Yanzhi.

Shen Yanzhi became more confident with Jia Bin by his side.

When Jia Bin heard that Xie Taichu had gone to negotiate with the general, he immediately asked to go there in person.

"I will be relieved if you go there. Most of the soldiers in the army have been deceived. You can go there to rectify the military discipline!"

Jia Bin did not rest along the way. After arriving in the capital, he immediately rushed to Shangdu City where the army was stationed.

Xie Taichu received an urgent report that Jia Bin had arrived, and asked him to go back immediately. Xie Taichu and the general had been having a great time these days, and the two of them had been going back and forth. Later, the general refused to come out and hid in the military camp pretending to be stupid.

It was impossible for Xie Taichu to break through the million-strong army and grab his ears to tell him to retreat. Now that he heard that Jia Bin was here, it was a good time for him to go back to Ren Yuhuan.

However, Xie Taichu also wanted to watch the fun, and disobeyed the emperor's order. He did not go back immediately, but waited for Jia Bin to come and see how he would deal with the general.

Jia Bin liked Xie Taichu very much. Seeing that Xie Taichu did not leave, he cheerfully asked him some questions about the aftermath of the imperial decree.

Xie Taichu urged Jia Bin to quickly deal with the general, so Jia Bin took a bath, changed his clothes, put on his battle robe, and went out.

Many soldiers saw Jia Bin coming out and recognized him at a glance. Jia Bin raised one hand high, holding the imperial edict. The soldiers knelt down without knowing what was going on.

"The general rebelled against the capital without permission, committing treason. Your Majesty is furious and has sentenced him to immediate execution!"

"All the soldiers who have been deceived and surrendered will be innocent. Whoever captures the general's head will be appointed deputy general!"

Although Shen Hebei was present in the military camp, when he heard that Jia Bin was coming, he knew that the situation was irreversible and wanted to leave.

The general tried to stop him, hoping Shen Hebei could come up with some ideas, but Shen Hebei was very cold: "It's too late to save the situation, General, you'd better give yourself a quick death as soon as possible!"

When the general heard this, he was immediately furious and ordered his men to capture Shen Hebei.

However, the people around Shen Hebei were all experts, and they resisted and withdrew from the military camp.

The general did not believe in his fate. He counted his personal soldiers and found that there were less than a hundred of them. He still gritted his teeth and led everyone to escape.

However, he was stopped by soldiers who wanted to make merit, and was hacked to death, leaving his body in disarray.

After Concubine Qi heard the news, she almost fainted in the carriage.

For the first time ever, Shen Yanzhi went over to comfort Concubine Qi.

Concubine Qi still had her own plans, so she calmed down and knelt down, saying, "I really don't know what my father did! Your Majesty, please understand!"

"I came here because I trust you. Don't think too much. Take good care of yourself. I won't treat you badly."

Concubine Qi agreed readily, thanked Shen Yanzhi and sent him away.

When Shen Yanzhi left, he was full of resentment. While resting at an inn, Shen Hebei asked someone to find Concubine Qi and said he wanted to help her avenge her father.

"I was planning to do this anyway. If he can provide help, that would be great!" After Shen Hebei contacted Concubine Qi, he used her to place a lot of people in the team. These people were lower-ranking palace maids and palace servants. They followed at the end of the team and no one noticed.

After watching the show, Xie Taichu came back but was intercepted by hundreds of people on the road. These people recognized him and took him back.

Xie Taichu communicated with them in Suiye's language, and they also spoke in Suiye's language.

"My lady, in the years since you left, we have continued to carry forward your plan. Now we are able to assassinate the emperor. You showed up at the perfect time. We have found the young lady again!"

Xie Taichu heard this and sneered, "If you really think I'm your master, why would you put a knife on my neck?"

"That's because I don't want you to act rashly before the overall situation is settled."

"Everyone knows that the young lady values ​​her family very much. The imperial concubine in the palace has no intention of avenging the master. We have already seen through it, so the young lady will naturally do the same!"

"Do you think what you said is right? The master you mentioned is our father. As his sons and daughters, we don't want revenge. But you who have no blood relationship with us want revenge. Is that justified?"

"Of course it is legitimate. We are not seeking revenge, but supporting Prince Shen Hebei to become the emperor. The current emperor is gloomy and murderous, and the people do not like him. We are the army of justice!"

Hearing this, Xie Taichu laughed: "History is always written by the victors, so there is no need for you to find such a lame excuse."

There was no one in the palace, so Shen Hebei sent people to besiege the palace.

Princess Yaoyue, who lived in Ci'en Palace, was once the daughter-in-law of the Liu family and the general's wife. She immediately led the remaining imperial guards to resist, blocked all the city gates, blocked all the entrances to the secret passages, and actually stopped the enemy.

But a long-term battle would ultimately fail, and Yao Yue could only hope that Shen Yanzhi would return victoriously soon.

When Shen Yanzhi received news that the palace had been attacked, he immediately asked Jia Bin to send people to suppress the rebels and maintain the safety of the capital.

Ren Yuhuan persuaded in front of all the officials: "Your Majesty, the safety of the capital is important, the imperial city cannot be lost, please send Lord Jia to lead the army back to suppress the bandits!"

All the civil and military officials in the court thought it made sense and knelt down to plead for orders.

Shen Yanzhi ordered Jia Bin to go back to support the capital.

Shen Hebei also received the news and sent some more troops to support, but not many. The purpose was to delay Jia Bin and trap most of the troops in the capital, preventing them from going east.

Shen Hebei asked his men to use all means to hold Jia Bin back, but Jia Bin's men then acted recklessly, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil.

Fortunately, Jia Bin arrived in time and protected the people of the capital.

The people were grateful to the emperor and hoped that Shen Yanzhi would win.

Ren Yuhuan reminded Shen Yanzhi: "The imperial city is under siege, and Your Majesty still wants to offer sacrifices. Isn't that unreasonable?"

After hearing this, Shen Yanzhi asked, "My beloved concubine, do you mean to give them a chance and take action in advance?"

Ren Yuhuan nodded: "I think most officials are keeping silent about this matter, most of them are still relying on Concubine Qi. Concubine Qi will definitely take action, so why not start with Concubine Qi."

Shen Yanzhi nodded and agreed.

Who knew that Concubine Qi had Shen Hebei's help, and when he saw Shen Yanzhi ordering them to rest, he knew they had to turn back and immediately told Concubine Qi that it was time to take action.

Concubine Qi reacted quickly and went over to take the little prince away in person while Ren Yuhuan was away.

Zijuan protected the little prince and prevented Concubine Qi from succeeding.

Concubine Qi's men stepped forward and stabbed Zijuan to death in a pool of blood, then took the infant prince away.

Ren Yuhuan and Shen Yanzhi agreed and then got off the carriage to visit the little prince.

As soon as I stepped into the carriage, I smelled a strong smell of blood. I hurried closer and the smell became even stronger!
