Chapter 211: Breakup (3)
"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." She smiled imperceptibly.
The imperial seal had been kept in the council hall. As soon as she arrived, she took the seal away and gave it to Situ Yao to take back and let King Beiling draft an order to mobilize troops.
It was the first time that the emperor looked at his son seriously. He had never paid much attention to him before. But now, in the light of the fire, he saw that under his overly handsome appearance, there was a noble demeanor that was superior to himself.
She seemed to be smiling, but her eyes were as cold as an icy pond, that kind of smile seemed to send someone to their doom.
The emperor also understood that her words seemed to be for the sake of justice and to save her father, but by saying this, she was clearly telling Marquis Zhenwei that the jade seal was in her hands, she had already gone to mobilize the troops, and the emperor was naturally useless.
For Marquis Zhenwei now , capturing the emperor is like capturing a hot potato. If Prince Beiling comes with the National Defense Army in a while and sees him holding the emperor hostage, it will only increase the anger of the National Defense Army and make those ministers who support the royal family unite to attack Marquis Zhenwei!
I thought that by holding the emperor hostage to control the princes and capturing the royal family, I could control everything. However, it became a blatant rebellion, which was a different matter.
As the emperor watched, many unclear minds understood for the first time and began to laugh.
"Prince, good, very good!"
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. Prince Beiling will soon bring people into the palace to quell the rebellion and rescue Your Majesty!" Wei Ning said while looking at Marquis Zhenwei.
At this moment, the old fox stared at her with his tiger eyes unfathomable, and like the emperor, he really saw the prince for the first time.
Who would have thought that the previous useless and cowardly image was just a disguise that even fooled him!
"The prince is truly a man of hidden talents!" said Marquis Zhenwei, gritting his teeth.
Wei Ning smiled and said, "You're too kind. Actually, it's true that the Regent is not in the capital right now. However, he did not go to mobilize the Black Flag Army, but was captured. His life or death is uncertain ."
Marquis Zhenwei suddenly widened his eyes like copper bells.
"If you had not started the uprising tonight, but had instead used all your strength to counterattack the Black Flag Army, you might have had a chance of winning. Alternatively, if you had kept your troops in place and kept peace with the Regent, you would have had at least five years to fully prepare, and the outcome would have been different from tonight ."
"You little beast !" Zhenwei Hou roared and rushed forward regardless of everything.
His life's work! Years of planning!
All of them were defeated miserably at the hands of this kid!
Wei Ning was waiting for this opportunity. When she saw him rushing towards her, she turned around and ran away with Princess Qingtong.
"Help! Help!"
He was shouting and running all the way, looking panicked, but he was actually running towards the direction of the Black Flag Army.
Duanmu Lei saw that things were not going well. His father was furious at the moment and had lost his usual composure after being provoked by the prince's few words.
It would be bad if we fell into the hands of the Black Flag Army.
An idea suddenly occurred to him, and he quickly followed with the emperor hostage.
Zhan Wei, Sima Qing and others looked up and were stunned when they saw that it was the prince running towards them.
Zhan Wei's eyes were shining, and he seemed to be thinking about something. However, Sima Qing was impulsive, and since the Regent was very caring towards the Crown Prince, he patted his horse's back and rushed forward to meet him!
"How dare you rebel against the emperor! Watch out!!"
He thought simply that if he killed Marquis Zhenwei, everything would be over tonight.
