Chapter 202 Seizing Power (4)
After sending someone to secretly send the prince back, Marquis Zhenwei immediately sent his men to investigate. Sure enough, the Regent was no longer in Haojing. Recently, Mu Tianhua had indeed met with many of his confidants in secret, and it was unknown what .
What is even more suspicious is that the Black Flag Army suddenly reorganized tonight, as if they were taking some action.
That’s 30,000 elite soldiers!
Upon hearing the news, Marquis Zhenwei no longer hesitated and immediately issued an order, ordering his men to rush over overnight. Due to the rush, they only had time to dispatch nearby troops to enter the palace and subdue the Fourth Prince first!
On the other hand, in the palace, Mu Tianhua had indeed secretly met with many of his confidants recently, but that was only because the crown prince was abducted and the regent was also not meeting anyone.
Mu Tianhua was suspicious, wondering whether the Regent had changed his mind or was determined to support the Crown Prince to ascend the throne, so he was so nervous.
He was suspicious by nature, and the regent was reluctant to let him form a bond with the contracted beast, which made him very anxious.
Now that his backer, the Sun family, has fallen, without the support of the regent, he will never be able to ascend the throne in his lifetime.
Tonight, Mu Tianhua also summoned his confidants to discuss in the palace, but suddenly someone said that the Duanmu family had dispatched the imperial guards in Haojing, and now they have surrounded the imperial palace!
"What? They are so bold!" Mu Tianhua jumped up, veins bulging on his forehead.
"Your Highness, please calm down. With the Regent here, I don't think they can cause any trouble!" The Fourth Prince's adviser said hurriedly.
"Your Highness, there are rumors outside that the Regent has already been killed by Marquis Zhenwei! They kidnapped the prince and set a trap for the Regent to fall into !" said the guard who came to report with a pale face.
Mu Tianhua sat down on the chair, as if a mountain suddenly collapsed in front of him.
"How is it possible, uncle, how could uncle..."
Everyone was also shocked, but then they were relieved. With the Regent's ability, how could the Duanmu family deal with him without using despicable means?
Considering the recent disappearance of the Crown Prince, the Regent has not shown up, and every time he asks for an audience, he is always blocked at the door. This is suspicious, so...
"When I came here, I heard that the Black Flag Army outside the city was ready to march into the capital to avenge the Regent!" the guard took the opportunity to say.
After hearing this, the counselors nearby offered suggestions.
“Your Highness, this is a godsend opportunity! Your Highness should immediately order the troops under your command to enter the palace, first protect the emperor, and then have a bloody battle with the people of the Duanmu family! As long as you use the banner of revenge for the regent, you don’t have to worry that the Black Flag Army will not be grateful to Your Highness!”
"That's right. As long as you have the support of the Black Flag Army, no one in the world will dare to disobey Your Highness and ascend the throne!"
"The Crown Prince has long been insignificant. As long as Your Highness wipes out the Duanmu family this time and makes great contributions , not only can you remove the obstacles to your future ascension to the throne, but you can also let the Crown Prince abdicate in a natural way!"
"This time , God has truly given Your Highness a great opportunity!"
"The subordinates would like to congratulate the prince first!"
"Congratulations, Prince!"
…
Amid the barrage of flattery, Mu Tianhua was already overjoyed. It seemed that even God was helping him this time!
The Duanmu family overestimated their own capabilities, and this time they were wiped out in one fell swoop!
Prince's Palace
Wei Ning had returned long ago and had tied up Hong Shao, Lu E and other palace servants and locked them up in a side hall, leaving only Zheng Tianbao behind.
As soon as Zheng Tianbao saw her appear and show such powerful means, with a murderous aura all over her body, he was so scared that his legs went weak and he knelt down.
