At a time like this, if Empress Xu reacted quickly and decided to raise her arms to rebel, the palace guards might not be able to stop her.
Only then did Helian Yu give his Tiger Tally to Helian's Divine Powers, ordering him to mobilize the forces of the imperial guards to protect the Imperial City at a crucial moment.
When he didn't want the Helian Divine Art to go looking for him, the imperial guards came to inform him that Helian Meng had left the palace and transferred the Red Falcon Army to the camp. This was obviously not normal.
The two discussed and made a prompt decision. They sent a group of their trusted aides to the imperial palace, claiming that they had found an assassin in the palace and had been ordered to protect the imperial harem. In reality, they were quickly taking Empress Xu and Imperial Concubine Zuo captive and sending people to follow closely behind the Red Falcons.
However, it was impossible for them to be too close since they were closely following him. After all, the vast team's movements were very extraordinary, and as long as they were within a certain distance, there would definitely be movement that would be seen through. At that time, Helian Meng could just find a random excuse to escape and leave them with no face.
Thus, they only sent a few scouts to follow the news, and when they found out that the Red Falcon army had gone up to Mount Huang, he was naturally very surprised. After hearing Helian's magical powers, he quickly changed his clothes and sneaked up the mountain.
Otherwise, with his position as the capital, even if he had stopped Helian Meng at the foot of the mountain long ago, he would have used an excuse to escape, and would have had no choice but to obey his orders to retreat.
After Helian Yu listened to their journey, he only said, "You can't blame General Du. You don't have the guts to directly intercept and kill the eighth prince at the foot of the mountain."
Everyone nodded in agreement. He only thought that it was because of the Second Prince's battle for wealth. He thought that since the Emperor was on the mountain, he would be able to suppress the Eighth Prince, but who would have thought that it would actually be such a bloody battle that even Yuan Chen didn't know whether he was dead or alive. He couldn't help but regret coming too late in his heart.
After returning to the palace, the imperial physicians first surrounded the Northern Chu Emperor to diagnose her illness. However, when they came out, they all shook their heads.
Although his face was in decline, after cleaning it up he did not find much external injuries. There were only a few scrapes and shallow knife wounds. The Red Falcon Guards, on the other hand, had taken proper care of him and wanted to keep him alive.
What really hurt him was the blow to the crossbeam, and the fact that the smoke had choked him so badly that it hurt his lungs. If they were able to take good care of it, it might not be fatal. However, with Yuan Chen's age, it would be difficult for him to completely recover from the internal injuries.
Helian Yu listened to the imperial physician's report and only pursed his lips without saying anything. His expression was gloomy. Following that, they heard the report that the Seventh Princess had caused a ruckus in the Li Jing Palace and had started a fight with the imperial guards. Her female guards were quite skilled, and had caused a ruckus in the Li Jing Palace.
Anger arose in Helian Yu's heart. He whispered to Helian Divine Technique, "The Supreme Yang girl you spoke of has been found. She is the Seventh Princess. What do you think we should do?"
When Helian Divine Art heard this, he was slightly shocked. He thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, please lead me there. This matter needs to be confirmed."
Helian Yu nodded and ordered the imperial guards of Qi Donggong to gather up and head for the Li Jing Palace.
He was playing with the compass in his hand, and his expression was very grave. Helian Yu couldn't help but take a few glances and see that the needle was rapidly shaking, pointing in the direction of the Orion Monastery. From this, it could be seen that his words were not false.
As they entered the palace gates, the sounds of swords clashing could be heard. Helian Shuanghui and the other female guards were engaged in an intense battle with the imperial guards.
Both sides had roughly the same number of people. The elite guards were more experienced than the enemy, but luckily the other side was the princess' personal maid, and the princess herself, so they could not instruct anyone to act rashly.
Imperial Concubine Zuo stood on the front porch of the hall. Her beautiful appearance carried a tinge of haggard sadness. If she was someone who cared for the fairer sex, she would probably be moved upon seeing her current appearance.
Unfortunately, Helian Yu's face was cold and ruthless. When he looked from afar, his gaze contained a murderous intent as he shot towards Imperial Concubine Zuo.
When Imperial Concubine Zuo saw him across the crowd, fear grew on her face as she trembled. Her delicate body seemed to be on the verge of collapsing and she even shrank to the edge of the pillar, covering her ears and hoping that he wouldn't notice her.
"Capture the Seventh Princess for me, no need to be merciful!" Those who resist will be killed without question! "
Helian Yu was in a bad mood. His words carried a murderous aura and he was determined to kill. Even if the imperial guards were merciless, they would not show mercy if the Eastern Palace Guards rushed forward.
However, in such a life or death situation, if she did not resist now, she would most likely die. Although she was still in the dark and did not know how she had offended him, she still knew that he was looking at her with murderous intent. In the past, even if he didn't like her, he still had a bit of affection for her on account of their blood relatives.
"Big brother Crown Prince, what crime have I committed? You dare to issue a killing order?" Aren't you afraid that royal father will punish you if he finds out? " Helian Peng's arrogance naturally couldn't leave the Northern Chu Emperor's pampering. He was strict with his princes and had always been unrestrained with his princesses.
Not even mentioning Yuan Chen, when she mentioned this, the murderous intent in Helian Yu's heart became even stronger. She said coldly, "I will make you understand in a while!"
After all, in front of such a large crowd, he would not mention Helian Xianzi's background to humiliate the imperial family's reputation. Naturally, it would be inconvenient for him to publicly kill Helian Shuang without a name.
Helian Shuang's female guards fell one after another as they cried out incessantly in a delicate voice. Even if it was just a few female guards, it was still the blood and sweat that she had nurtured over the years. Even if she didn't have too much feelings for these palace maids, she couldn't tolerate others turning her blood and sweat to nothingness. At that moment, she felt extreme hatred in her heart and angrily said: "Helian Yu, I will definitely tell royal father and I will never forgive you!"
Helian Yu's lips curled up into a cold smile as he indifferently looked at her. He didn't even do it himself.
Helian Xianzi boasted that she was an expert, but in reality, she was no stronger than the imperial guards of the Eastern Palace. Not long after that, her men were either captured or executed, and she herself was escorted to Helian Yu.
"Mufei …" "Save me!"
Zuo Lian, however, could not protect himself now. He could only look at her mournfully and pleadingly at Helian Yu.
Helian Yu was not in a position to deal with a weak woman like Zuo Lian. He waved his hand, and once again, ordered the capital's elite guards to strictly guard the Li Jing Palace. Then, he brought Helian Peng with him and left.
"Where are you taking me?!"
"Didn't you want royal father to uphold justice for you? I'll bring you to see him. " Helian Yu's face was expressionless. He didn't even bother to give her another glance, but the hatred in his heart burned like a raging fire.
