Pretty Fox: Misunderstood His Royal Highness

Chapter 600 Hu Qingmei's Trap 2
On the high palace wall, countless armored soldiers appeared at some point, standing there like a heavenly soldier.The moonlight and torches reflected the expressionless faces, and the armored soldiers were majestic, holding bows and arrows at them, making a posture ready to shoot arrows at all times.

Yuan Qingwu was even more confused, and said loudly: "What are you going to do? Why are you aiming your bow and arrow at us?" Then he said: "Where are the thieves? Where are the thieves? Go and chase them!"

No one answered him.

The door of the hall suddenly opened, and a group of armored soldiers rushed in from outside the hall, surrounding Yuan Qingwu and the soldiers around him.These iron armored soldiers, wearing iron armor, holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, with stern expressions on their faces, approached Yuan Qingwu step by step with a murderous look.

On the palace wall, a person shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness conspired to seize the palace to rebel! His Majesty has an order, you take His Highness down quickly!"

Yuan Qingwu looked up, and the person who spoke was Zhang Jinchao, the leader of the imperial guards—the emperor heard that Yuan Qingwu led his troops into the palace to seize the palace for rebellion, and immediately sent an order to send the imperial guards into the palace to surround Yuan Qingwu and his soldiers .At this moment, Yuan Qingwu was still in the dark, opened his eyes wide, and stammered:

"I... I didn't seize the palace to rebel. I... I heard... I heard that there were thieves breaking into the inner palace, and my father's order... ordered me to immediately bring troops into the palace to escort..."

Where did Zhang Jinchao listen to Yuan Qingwu's defense?An order: "You quickly take down His Highness the Crown Prince!"

No matter how stupid Yuan Qingwu was, he understood at this moment.It wasn't that there were thieves breaking into the palace at all, but that he had fallen into a trap carefully set by others.

The imperial guards in iron armor, carrying shields and swords approached Yuan Qingwu step by step.Yuan Qingwu couldn't help becoming frightened. A soldier in front of him was about to resist when he heard a "whoosh" and a flash of sword light, and the soldier's head was cut off alive. The head rolled far away, and blood spattered all around yes.Yuan Qingwu and his soldiers were pale, standing there motionless, how dare they move easily?
All the imperial guards rushed up and captured Yuan Qingwu and his soldiers.

At this time Zhang Jinchao came down from the palace wall, he walked up to Yuan Qingwu, waved his hand, and said solemnly: "Put everyone down."

　Yuan Qingwu yelled loudly: "I was wronged! I was wronged!"

A piercing voice said: "Are you wronged? What a joke, do you think I can be deceived so easily?" It was the emperor who spoke.Surrounded by everyone, he walked over with a gloomy face.

When Yuan Qingwu saw him, he knelt down immediately, and he cried, "Father, I was really wronged! Father, trust me! Trust me!"

The emperor didn't even look at him, and said coldly: "Prison the prince! The prince is rebellious, he has been rebellious for a long time, and all kinds of signs are becoming more and more obvious! From now on, I will abolish the prince as a commoner!"

Yuan Qingwu originally thought that there was still a chance to plead for mercy, but he didn't expect his father to convict him of treason without even looking at him.Yuan Qingwu's expression turned pale immediately, he broke out in a cold sweat, and his body kept trembling.He had never been so frightened before, his head went "boom", his legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground.

The emperor said: "Press it!"

The imperial guards took Yuan Qingwu away.Yuan Qingwu's stern voice kept echoing: "Father, I was wronged! I was wronged!"
