Chapter 204 Seizing Power (6)
Today, the four nations all view the Underworld as a scourge, and no one is willing to approach it. However, the power of the Underworld is unquestionable.
If the prince was kidnapped by a mere Duanmu family, why would it be necessary for the regent to go and rescue him personally?
It must be a more terrifying force...the Underworld!
"Why did they only let His Highness come back ?"
"Because tonight Marquis Zhenwei is going to raise an army to force the palace, force my father to hang himself, and then make me the king instead. After a while, I will abdicate to him. This way, I can use the emperor to control the princes. Even if the Black Flag Army is dissatisfied, what can they do without the regent?"
"The prince now..." Zheng Tianbao's face turned pale.
"I don't know either." Wei Ning shook his head in panic. "After they used me to lure the Regent away, they immediately sent me out. I guess they were busy getting things done. And I know that since Zhenwei Hou eliminated General Sun Xiang, he has quietly started to bribe and win over the generals of the National Defense Army. Now I'm afraid he has already taken control of the National Defense Army!"
"We can't let them succeed!" Zheng Tianbao stood up suddenly, forgetting for a moment the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects.
Wei Ning nodded and said hurriedly: "But now the Marquis of Zhenwei has probably led his troops to surround the palace!"
"I will notify the Black Flag Army immediately." At this moment, Zheng Tianbao no longer looked like the timid little eunuch he usually was. His face was firm and there was a hint of awe in it.
Wei Ning admired his acting skills in his heart. He used to speak in a shrill voice in front of her and thought he was really a eunuch.
I don’t know whether he is a real eunuch or a fake one.
Seeing Wei Ning's worried look, Zheng Tianbao thought that the prince was just a child and might be frightened this time, so he said gently:
"Don't worry, Your Highness. Although the Regent is not here, the Black Flag Army will definitely put down the rebellion and protect Your Highness!"
I'm afraid that by then, the Black Flag Army will be seriously damaged .
But there was no time to worry about that. If he waited for the Regent to come back before taking action, Marquis Zhenwei would probably have succeeded by then.
With the emperor held hostage, Marquis Zhenwei can say whatever he wants. By then, the Black Flag Army will be considered rebels, and the prince will be in a difficult situation.
"I hope so." Wei Ning sniffed, stood up and watched Zheng Tianbao leave, thinking about what he had just said.
Zheng Tianbao said "suppress the rebellion and protect His Highness", but did not say protect the emperor.
What kind of signal is this?
Zheng Tianbao himself thought so.
Or has the Regent already intended to depose the Emperor and make her a puppet Emperor?
I always feel that Mu Zihan is not a person who is greedy for power , but why does he want to control his own thoughts?
Princess Qingtong, who had been hiding behind the screen, came out with a very ugly look on her face. Behind her, followed Situ Yao.
Ever since she was captured, Situ Yao has often visited the palace, and happened to be there today.
The two of them listened to her words behind the screen and were both very confused.
"Ning'er, what you just said..."
"I didn't lie." Mu Zihan is indeed in the underworld now, and his life or death is uncertain.
"But how could Marquis Zhenwei commit treason?" Situ Yao was puzzled. Marquis Zhenwei was an old fox, how could he suddenly and impulsively do such a thing?
Even if the Regent was not in Haojing, how could he have the courage to do that?
"You'll know when you see." Wei Ning smiled slightly, ignored them, went inside to take a shower and change clothes.
Tonight will be exciting!!!
