Chapter 210: Breakup (2)
Mu Tianhua had been defeated long ago, and Marquis Zhenwei could only fight like a trapped beast, but since he had the emperor in his hands, no one dared to move.
But the overall situation has become , and Marquis Zhenwei also knows that the game is over. However, given the current situation, he also knows that even if he does not resist, the Regent will never forgive him.
The palace was brightly lit tonight. Torches burned all the way from outside the palace to the inner palace. The light was everywhere, illuminating the piles of dead bodies on the ground. Even the cracks in the floor were filled with donated blood, which was a horrifying sight.
Among the dead were not only palace maids and eunuchs, but also distinguished concubines, noble ladies, princesses and princes. It was a horrific sight.
"Dad! What should I do?"
On the side of Marquis Zhenwei, Duanmu Lei was so frightened when he saw the Black Flag Army surrounding him from all sides that he started to cry.
I thought there was at least a 50% to 60% chance of starting the rebellion tonight, after all, their family has been planning it for so many years. I never expected that there was not even 10% chance!
Looking at those eerie black armors, he still felt regret and fear.
Marquis Zhenwei had just fought with Sima Qing and was seriously injured, but the old veteran still had some strength left. He held a sword on the ground, supported by both hands, his eyes sparkling with ferocity.
"Where is the prince? Bring him here!" Marquis Zhenwei looked at his son with disappointment.
Success is success, failure is failure. This useless thing doesn’t seem like his son at all!
"I just sent someone to look for him, but he's not in the Crown Prince's Palace. Maybe he was killed!"
Marquis Zhenwei snorted. With all the royal family members in his hands, even if the Regent won tonight, it would still be unjustified!
"You personally take people to look for him! If he's alive, I want to find him. If he's dead, I want to find his body!"
"My Lord, why are you in such a hurry to find me, the prince? I wonder why?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a clear voice was heard. Marquis Zhenwei quickly looked up and saw the prince and Princess Qingtong walking towards him from behind.
They had no injuries on their bodies, and looked clean and tidy, not at all like they had just escaped from a fierce battle tonight.
Marquis Zhenwei's gaze had already fixed, but Duanmu Lei was still unaware of it and just walked towards him with a big laugh.
"Prince, I knew you were blessed with a long life, hahaha, come here quickly !"
As long as the crown prince is around, would the regent dare to act rashly? It's neither legitimate nor justifiable, unless he wants to change the dynasty!
In today's empire, the majority of people still support the royal family!
Mu Tianhua was also tied up and thrown next to the emperor. When he saw Wei Ning appear, he immediately shouted.
"Mu Qingning! I knew long ago that it was you who rebelled tonight! You are so bold to collude with the bastards of the Duanmu family. This is bad for the emperor! The emperor will not forgive you!"
The emperor also woke up and knew that someone was plotting a rebellion tonight, but he was in a daze and had no idea what was going on. When he heard Mu Tianhua's shout, he looked at Wei Ning majestically.
After all, he is the emperor. Even if he has been indulging in sensual pleasures for many years, he still retains some majesty.
"Prince, what is going on?"
Princess Qingtong hurriedly stepped forward to explain that they did not participate in the rebellion, but Wei Ning grabbed her and looked at the emperor like a filial son.
"Father! Marquis Zhenwei rebelled tonight. This bastard was so ambitious that he wanted to harm me. Fortunately, I escaped! Father, don't worry. I have asked Prince Beiling to bring your imperial decree to mobilize 200,000 national defense troops to protect you!"
Her voice was sonorous and seemed truly righteous.
Mu Tianhua's face changed color: "How dare you! How dare you fake the imperial decree!"
"In a critical moment, we can't care about so many things, right, father? Besides, I have already handed over the jade seal to King Beiling."
