"If you return to the Imperial Guard camp, who will be responsible for royal father's safety?!"

Shen Ling Jue was enraged, he grabbed Du Kai's collar and dragged him to the side, "Du Kai, I order you to immediately gather all the Imperial Guards, and rush to Chen Ming Palace to protect my royal father!"

Du Kai was flabbergasted, he did not know why Shen Ling Jue would suddenly issue such an order.

"Your highness, the imperial palace or the crown prince are required to command the Imperial Guards. Your highness, however, you don't have the authority …"

Feng Ning Yan was not far away, and after hearing Shen Ling Jue's words, she knew that something big was going to happen. She quickly said:

"Doesn't General Du know that things are going according to the rules? The Imperial Guards had always been strict and disciplined. A sudden disturbance was very suspicious. If the Imperial City is in trouble, your duty is to protect the Emperor, not to be a peacemaker. "

Hearing Feng Ning Yan's words, Du Kai immediately understood that Shen Ling Jue was right to ask him to gather the manpower to protect the Emperor.

He immediately changed his direction and led his men towards Chen Ming Palace.

"I'm still a little worried," Feng Ning Yan looked towards the direction Du Kai was heading, "Your Highness, we must go to Chen Ming Palace to protect the emperor!"

"We'll go too." Shen Youhuang and Shen Yu Su also walked over nervously.

Shen Ling Jue's expression became serious, took off his identity token, and said to Shen Yu Su: "Yu Su, use this king's name to gather people, and monitor the imperial palace closely, ensuring that the empress does not leave half a step away."

Shen Yu Su saw how nervous Shen Ling Jue was and quickly received her identity token, nodding her head: "Don't worry, Brother Yuwang! Yu Su will definitely do it! "

After that, Shen Ling Jue, Feng Ning Yan and Shen You Huang rushed to Chen Ming Palace.

But when Feng Ningyan turned around to look at Shen Youhuang, her heart was in turmoil.

This fellow was after all the crown prince's man. Asking him to follow him to protect the emperor, he couldn't have turned the tables before the battle, right?

When Shen Lingjue saw that Feng Ning Yan was worried and looked at Shen You Huang with a guarded expression, he lightly patted her shoulder to reassure her.

At this moment, Shen Youhuang walked to Shen Lingjue's side and asked, "What does Brother Yuwang think will happen?"

Shen Ling Jue moved forward quickly, looking straight ahead as he said, "Although Fourth Brother just returned to the capital, he should be well aware of the situation in the capital. With your understanding of the crown prince, how is his current situation?"

Shen Youhuang didn't think that Shen Lingju would ask him this back. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Crown Prince …" "He's in a worrisome situation, the empress is grounded, the power of the Zen family outside is weakening, royal father is very dissatisfied with him, he's surrounded by enemies on all sides …"

Shen Ling Jue nodded his head coldly: "Fourth Brother used to listen to the crown prince obediently and sincerely, but the crown prince had always suppressed your talent, making it so that your royal father would be useless in front of you. Now that the Crown Prince's power is in danger of being overthrown and Fourth Brother has also made his debut, it's time for us to make our decision. "

"Chendi doesn't understand Brother Yuhuang's meaning …"

It was rare for Shen Ling Jue to speak so directly, which made Shen You Huang a little nervous.

Shen Ling Jue smiled lightly: "This duke believes that Fourth Brother will no longer be willing to help the evil. He will only do a great deed when royal father needs us."

This roundabout way of speaking caused Shen Youhuang's heart to grow cold.

This was a warning for him to stop helping the crown prince and to not get involved in the conspiracy.

If he were to contribute greatly, of course, it would be to have him protect the emperor.

Could it be that the riot in the camp was caused by the Crown Prince?

Wasn't the current Emperor in a dire situation?

At this moment, a shout came from the front, followed by the sound of weapons clashing.

"This is bad!" Something really happened! "

Feng Ning Yan pressed her hand on her waist. Only then did she realize that because she had changed into a woman's outfit, the sword in her belt wasn't even on her body. She stomped her feet in hatred.

Shen Ling Jue had already leaped up into the air, stepping on the flowers as he flew towards the group of fake mountains where the sounds of fighting came from.

At this time, a group of black clothed assassins appeared out of nowhere and rushed towards the Emperor and Imperial Concubine Shu without a care for their lives.

Fortunately, Du Kai managed to make it in time to block the assassin.

Taking advantage of this moment of respite, the Emperor and Imperial Concubine Fu hurriedly hid within the cave.

When Shen Ling Jue landed, he had already snatched away the sabers from the two guards' waists in front of the fake mountain. He then grabbed a spear and turned around to shout at Shen You Huang and Feng Ning Yan, "Catch!"

Feng Ning Yan jumped up and caught the spear. Feeling it was easy, she immediately charged towards the black-clothed men.

She was already used to using long weapons on the battlefield. At this moment, she used the Feng family's inherited spear technique to block the Emperor at the cave entrance. She coordinated with Du Kai's imperial army and caused their fighting strength to rise greatly.

Shen Youhuang caught the blade and looked at the scene in front of her. He could tell that the men in black were all assassins kept by the crown prince.

Indeed, the Crown Prince could not hold it in and rebelled in advance!

He thought about what Shen Lingjue had just reminded him. Gritting his teeth, he decisively stood together with Shen Lingjue and charged towards the black clothed man.

The sound of fighting on the spot shook the entire inner palace as squadrons of Imperial Guards rushed in from nearby to help.

When the assassins saw that they were surrounded, they became anxious. The two of them were not afraid of death, so they dived into the river beside the fake mountain, went around to the other side of the mountain, and entered the cave where the Emperor was hiding.

Imperial Concubine Su supported the emperor who was running with weak legs, focusing only on the situation at the entrance of the cave. When she saw that the prince and the Imperial Guards were outside rescuing the carriage, she advised the emperor to be at ease.

However, before he could catch his breath, he heard a loud shout from behind him.

Imperial Concubine Su was young after all, so her reaction was extremely fast. Without even turning around, she knew that it was an assassin who had barged in and pushed the emperor towards the cave entrance.

"Your Majesty! "Be careful!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the assassin's blade fell. Imperial Concubine Fu was unable to dodge in time as the blade just happened to cut across her back. Instantly, blood flowed out.

Fortunately, she managed to push him away quickly. The emperor had already been pushed into the cave entrance. The guards outside immediately came in and stabbed the assassin to death with their spears.

The emperor was scared out of his wits when he saw Imperial Concubine Shuang being stabbed. He held onto Imperial Concubine Fu and shouted, "My beloved concubine, my beloved concubine …"

Imperial Concubine Su raised her head, gritted her teeth, and smiled. "Your Majesty … It's good that you're fine... "Chenqie doesn't feel any pain, it's just that her clothes were a bit torn …"

The emperor took Shufei's words for real and held her in his arms.

Feng Ningyan heard the cries of alarm from within the cave and turned around. She saw that Concubine Fu's face was pale and extremely worried. As she killed her enemies, she drew closer to the cave entrance.

Most of the assassins had been killed. Their heads were cut off and blood was everywhere.

Those who had yet to die, upon seeing that their situation had already turned for the worse, either died from taking the poison or the poison had flared up and died on the ground. Not a single one of them remained alive.

Shen Ling Jue looked at the people who had activated the venom, and countless red coral shaped Gu worms crawled out from their bodies, and couldn't help feeling a chill run down his spine.

"This is the killer raised by the Crown Prince!" He gritted his teeth in hatred.

Hearing that, the emperor was shocked: "Ling Jue, what did you say? These are the Crown Prince … Raised killer? The crown prince wants to kill me? "

Feng Ning Yan hastily replied, "Your Imperial Majesty, this time, Prince Yu and his wife came back to Ningnan under the guise of being relatives. In reality, they were secretly taking a trip to the Southern Wilderness to investigate the evidence of the crown prince raising his killer …"
