Chapter 205: Taking risks

It was the meaning of King Xiang to summon all officials into the palace. He issued an edict from Emperor Liang. Moreover, the eunuchs ordered all the eunuchs to speak: Emperor Liang's health improved and he officially returned to the court, and ordered all officials to enter the palace to meet.

When all the ministers entered the imperial city, the late King Yu finally arrived at the capital, and he led Xuan Shaoning toward the imperial city.

At the same time, Emperor Liang was carried out from Qingzhi Palace by the eunuchs. Although Concubine Du believed that Emperor Liang should stay in the palace to recuperate at this time, the imperial guards showed their swords and forced Concubine Du to retreat, and forced Emperor Liang away, who was unconscious. Not only that, the imperial guards also surrounded the Qingzhi Palace and did not allow anyone to enter and exit.

In the same time, Yan Keran ran to the abandoned yard of the imperial kitchen and asked Du Shaoyin to change into the imperial guard's official uniform. However, this official uniform was too small. After Du Shaoyin put it on, he was strangled. His arms could not be straightened, and a piece of his waist could not be covered. No matter how he looked, it was awkward. Du Shaoyin wanted to take it off, but Yan Keran stopped him, better than nothing, and he might be able to get through the quarrel when all officials entered the palace.

It was still the same time that Princess Yunxuan received a letter from a palace maid who looked at her face. Princess Yunxuan wanted to ask more questions, but she never thought that the palace maid would disappear after turning around. Princess Yunxuan opened the letter and wrote a letter: She had arrived in Beijing, and saw the Gong Lizheng Hall in Chengyuan. Yunxuan was so familiar with these words! She would take them out and read them almost every other day. She remembered the pen tip of each word, and she would not admit her mistake! It was him, it was him who came back!

All the officials had special divine killing cavalry escorts, called protecting the safety of ministers, but every minister could perceive the unusualness of entering the palace today. The ministers used to go to Qingxuan Gate when they entered the palace, but today everyone was changed to entering the imperial city from Tongtian Gate, and the main gate of the imperial city, Qingxuan Gate, was only kept for one person.

King Yu and Xuan Shaoning rode their horses to Qingxuan Gate. When the imperial guards guarding the city saw that King Yu immediately made way. King Yu rushed into the imperial city and then dismounted and walked after entering the inner city. The emperor's edict clearly required King Yu to enter the Gonglizheng Hall of Chengyuan to meet Emperor Liang. Whether it was writing or sealing, it was true. Even if King Yu had a trace of suspicion in his heart, his feet were still not stopped.

When they arrived outside Chengyuan Palace, the imperial guards guarding the hall only nodded to King Yu, and no one took the initiative to confiscate the weapons along the way. Such an unreasonable approach made King Yu and Xuan Shaoning both suspicious.

"General?"

King Yu stopped Xuan Shaoning's further inquiries and took the initiative to remove the sword on his body and handed it to the imperial guards. Xuan Shaoning did as he did, and then the two of them pushed the door open and entered.

The light in the Lizheng Hall was dark and there was no one. After taking two steps, King Yu found that it was not empty. There was a person sitting upright on the dragon throne in the middle of the hall, but because it was too dark, he did not find it immediately.

King Yu slowly approached, and the figure of the man finally became clear. He called out a yellow dragon robe, a hollow golden silk crown, and a pale and blood-colored old face. He was silent. If it weren't for those eyes that had been open, King Yu would almost think that Emperor Liang had died.

"Father?Father!"

King Yu just wanted to rush forward in an instant, but Xuan Shaoning behind him could guess that even if he didn't have enough experience on the battlefield, he could guess that there must be a problem. However, the most difficult thing to control in the world is feelings, love, family, friendship, which are the most profound but sometimes the most deadly.

King Yu would not follow Xuan Shaoning's advice. From the moment he stepped into Lizheng Hall, he understood that this would be a trap, but the father, if he abandoned the supreme title, the person in the hall was his father. With this alone, even in the dragon pond and tiger den, King Yu had to make a breakthrough.

"Father?"

King Yu's hand touched Emperor Liang's palm, rough and cold. Looking at Emperor Liang's face, his whole face had faded from blood, his lips were trembling, and saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth, wetting a whole piece on the dragon robe drop by drop. Emperor Liang's eyes were filled with tears. Even though he could no longer speak, these eyes were enough to show his joy and guilt for King Yu's appearance. What was happy that King Yu finally came back, but what was guilty?

"Father, my son is back, my son is back! Father, what happened these days?"

Tears in Emperor Liang's eyes finally overflowed, and old and turbid tears flowed through his cheeks one after another, and the corners of his mouth twitched more frequently. From Emperor Liang's expression, you can see anxiousness, worry and fear. King Yu looked around, and the palace was still empty.

"Father, no matter what happens, my son must take you to a safe place first!"

King Yu started to support Emperor Liang's shoulders, then carried Emperor Liang on his back with force, and collapsed down the steps step by step.

"General, the last general will help you!"

"No need, I have no problem with this. You can go outside the palace to see the situation!"

"yes!"

As soon as Xuan Shaoning walked outside the Lizheng Hall, several imperial guards immediately drew their swords toward each other. The unexpected scene happened like this. The reaction ability he had honed on the battlefield made Xuan Shaoning pull out his sword without thinking, but unfortunately this position was empty at this time.

Oh no! The sword had been handed over before, but it was still the one who took the initiative to hand over it! The imperial guard shouted, "Someone assassinate the emperor!" and then attacked Xuan Shaoning.

King Yu, who was still in the palace, walked a few steps on his back, and before he could check what was happening outside the palace, a voice appeared behind him.

"Fourth Brother, where are you going with your father in such a hurry?"

King Yu didn't have to look back to know who was behind him. He had fallen into a trap designed by others, but he took the initiative to fall into the trap. King Yu slowly turned around, put down Emperor Liang but kept holding his hands tightly, and leaned against him.

"Fifth brother, you tried your best to set up such a situation to get rid of me?"

"Fourth brother, after so many years, you finally got enlightened. But it wasn't enough. I really wanted to get rid of you, but it wasn't just you who wanted to get rid of you."

King Xiang, who had been standing in the shadow, made King Yu unable to see his expression clearly, or even his upper body clearly. If it weren't for the familiarity with King Xiang's voice, someone else would have taken action directly.

King Xiang stretched out his finger and pointed at Emperor Liang, his intentions made it clear.

"In my opinion, you are the one who really wants to usurp power and seize the throne! Where is the seventh brother?"

"Seventh brother, Fourth brother, it's time, are you still thinking about Seventh brother? Do you know how many bad things your seventh brother has said during these days when you are away? Seventh brother even used the Ping An Army to rebel, and it was your flag! If I hadn't been pleading for you in front of my father, you would have fallen to the ground long ago!"

When Emperor Xiang heard King Xiang say this, Emperor Liang was so excited that he twitched. From Emperor Liang's performance, King Yu also guessed that King Xiang was telling lies, at least part of them were lies. King Yu even took Emperor Liang into his arms.

"I don't want to care about the past anymore. I just ask you, is your attack on the father like this?"

"What? You are the son of your father, I am not! Don't pour this dirty water on me, as your father will be caused by you today!"

"You're talking nonsense!"

"You are the manipulator behind the scenes when your seventh brother rebelled, and you have created the illusion that you are not in the capital. These seventh brothers have confessed! You have also borrowed a palace to make snacks for your father and poisoned him! Now you are also forged an edict to depose your father and ascend the throne by yourself! Do you think you are unforgivable?"

"Xiao Yunsheng, you a scum of the royal family! You framed me all your own things. Do you think the ministers are blind? Do you all be confused by you so easily?"

Humph! King Xiang sneered, then took out a small incense burner from his sleeve and placed it on the ground. At the same time, the incense inside was lit with flint. Immediately, the cigarettes were curling and spreading in the Lizheng Hall.

"This is the incense that Concubine Du likes to tinker with the most. I think you must know the fourth brother! The name of this incense is Musk Scale Fragrance, which is the incense that Concubine Du will tinker for his father every day."

King Xiang suddenly made this move, and King Yu couldn't figure out what he meant, but the increasingly fierce fighting sounds in his ears were extremely clear.

Xuan Shaoning had no weapons. At this time, facing the blades of several imperial guards, he could only dodge and find an opportunity to counterattack. Xuan Shaoning jumped onto a stone pillar, turned around and jumped onto the back of an imperial guard, snatched the sword from his hand, flipped over his hand and smashed it hard on the neck of the imperial guards. The imperial guards immediately fell to the ground.

The remaining several imperial guards continued to kill Xuan Shaoning. Although Xuan Shaoning didn't kill them, they really wanted to kill Xuan Shaoning. Xuan Shaoning used a knife to numb the wrist of an imperial guard, and while the knife in his hand fell to the ground, he wanted to use the same trick again to knock him out. Unexpectedly, the imperial guard behind him stabbed into the man's chest with a knife.

The scene of killing each other really surprised Xuan Shaoning, but then he understood the intention of the imperial guard. The imperial guard who took action began to shout at the top of his voice, "There is an assassin, the assassin is going to assassin assassin!"
