MTL - I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times-Chapter 469 Hijack
Prince Rui's expression suddenly changed, "Why did the Queen Mother disappear? What happened?"
Such a big thing happened, and the palace maid was so frightened that she did not dare to hide it and quickly told the story.
"Back to the prince, the Queen Mother has been sleeping lightly recently, and she didn't sleep well last night. She wanted to catch up on her sleep after eating today. Before resting, she told the slaves not to stay in the inner room, but to stay guarded outside.
The servant was afraid of disturbing the Queen Mother's rest, so she guarded the door with Qinghong and others. Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother was sleeping soundly, but suddenly there was the sound of a brocade stool falling to the ground in the inner room.
The slave originally thought that the Queen Mother accidentally touched the brocade stool. Unexpectedly, after entering, she found that the Queen Mother had disappeared and agarwood hand-strung beads were scattered on the ground. "
Prince Rui was still holding on to some luck, but the Queen Mother was just feeling depressed and didn't want anyone around her, so she quietly left alone to find a quiet place.
You can see the beads in the hands of the palace maid, and King Rui quickly rejected this speculation.
The agarwood bracelet in the hands of the palace maid was specially obtained by the emperor from Xuanqing Temple during the Queen Mother's Holy Birthday Festival five years ago.
Because the bracelet is made by the real person Xuan Yi. There are scriptures engraved on it, and it has been offered to the Patriarch for a long time. In addition, it is filial to the Emperor, so the Queen Mother has always cherished it.
No matter what time it is, the Queen Mother never leaves her hand.
If nothing had happened, the Queen Mother would not have allowed the bracelet to break and scatter on the ground.
“Whoever comes, search for me quickly!”
The Queen Mother will not disappear for no reason. If something happens at this time, it must be related to the second prince.
The second prince had to flee for his life, and it would be inconvenient for him to take the queen mother with him. Prince Rui felt that if he was fast enough, he might be able to stop the second prince and rescue the queen mother.
Ke Lingchu used the system to scan and found that neither the Queen Mother nor the Second Prince were in the palace anymore.
The second prince held the Queen Mother hostage. If he risked the Queen Mother's life to force the Emperor, then all the achievements made today would be in vain.
Lingchu could only find two Jinyi guards and let them **** Princess Dingyuan back to the mansion, and then hurriedly caught up with Prince Rui.
“Your Majesty, I just made a fortune and the Queen Mother is no longer in the palace.
Also ask the prince to tell the Queen Mother's birth date so that her whereabouts can be calculated. "
“Okay, thank you, Princess.” Prince Rui had already seen Ling Chu’s ability, and he was very happy to see her willing to help.
When Lingchu finished the hexagram, he couldn't wait to ask, "How is it? Did you calculate it?"
Lingchu nodded, "Xicheng."
“Xicheng?”
Wang Rui looked surprised.
Lingchu was also surprised. The emperor returned to the capital and was preparing to enter the city through the west gate.
The second prince did not escape from the capital through other gates. Could it be that he thought that the more dangerous the place, the safer it would be?
Although the second prince has many imperial troops around him, even if we add in the troops and horses left to him by Qi Guogong, the number will probably not exceed 50,000.
But since the emperor knew that the second prince wanted to seize the throne, he would definitely bring back a lot of troops.
Presumably heavy troops were deployed at the four city gates to prevent the second prince from escaping.
But the emperor may not have guessed that the second prince would kidnap the queen mother.
When Lingchu and Prince Rui hurried to the city gate with their people, they saw the second prince personally holding the Queen Mother hostage on the city tower when they were still far away.
Ning Chuyi and a group of royal guards were in a tense confrontation with the second prince's men.
The city gate was closed tightly. Although Ling Chu couldn't see what was going on outside the city, he knew without even thinking that the emperor must be trying to avoid a rat.
The sword in the second prince's hand was placed on the Queen Mother's neck. No one, no matter how powerful they were in martial arts, dared to touch it.
“You traitor, I won’t let your royal grandmother go yet!”
Maybe he felt that he was torn, and the second prince no longer pretended to be gentle as before, but sneered, "Father, I am not stupid. If I let the imperial grandmother go, how can I still be alive?"
The emperor was furious, but he was worried about the life of the queen mother, so he had to suppress his anger, "You are so rebellious and unfilial, have you ever thought about your mother and concubine...?"
It's a good thing that the emperor didn't mention Concubine An Xian. When he mentioned it, the second prince wanted to kill the emperor. "My son, minister, mother and concubine are gone, and were killed by your good queen."
The emperor frowned. He was originally thinking about how to find Concubine An Xian and ask her to persuade the second prince to stop. Unexpectedly, she was actually killed by the queen.
“Let your royal grandmother go, and I won’t care about the mistakes you made.”
The second prince did not believe what the emperor said. If it had not been for Concubine An Xian and Zhao Chuanlin, the emperor might not have killed him.
But when he finds out about his mother-in-law’s affair, he will definitely doubt his life experience and will kill him sooner or later.
“I just want to leave the capital. Father, you’d better take your troops and retreat, otherwise it will be bad if your hands tremble.”
The emperor's face was clouded, and he stared at the second prince for a long time. Seeing that he showed no sign of repentance, he had to raise his hand.
He was about to signal the soldiers and horses behind him to retreat.
The Queen Mother suddenly raised her voice and said, "Zong'er, you are the emperor and the king of a country, how can you be controlled by others?
The queen has lived for such a long time, even if she dies, it will be nothing.
You do it. "
The second prince's eyes were filled with coldness. As expected, in this world, only his mother and concubine were sincere to him.
The Queen Mother has no shortage of grandsons, so why would she care about his life or death?
The second prince pressed **** the Queen Mother's neck with the sword in his hand, and at the same time shouted angrily at the emperor outside the city, "Get back! Move back ten miles."
“Mother!” Seeing the Queen Mother’s expression hurt and blood oozing from her neck, the Emperor subconsciously wanted to step forward.
Seeing the murderous intent on the second prince's face, he could only wave his hand, "Back off!"
The Queen Mother endured the pain and said, "Your Majesty, you must not..."
The emperor did not want the Queen Mother to anger the second prince, so he slowly retreated with his people.
Although the Queen Mother was annoyed that the second prince had taken her hostage, she still thought of her beloved grandson, "Mu'er, stop now, it's not too late."
When the second prince saw the emperor retreating with his people, he had no intention of listening to the Queen Mother's advice.
He was preparing to press the Queen Mother down and take the opportunity to leave the city.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he moved, his wrist suddenly hurt.
Seeing the Taoist suddenly appearing out of thin air, the second prince was shocked and angry, "Master Xuan Yi!"
He will subconsciously resist.
But Master Xuan Yi had already clamped his wrist.
With a pull and a twist, the long sword fell out of hand and fell to the ground with a clang.
Zhenren Xuanyi used invisibility to climb up the city wall, and neither the second prince nor the imperial guards around him noticed.
When the sound came, the Imperial Guards were shocked and came to their senses.
The second prince was just about to signal them to take action, but his vision was blurred.
Two other Taoists suddenly appeared from one side to the other and subdued the imperial guards around him with a wave of their hands.
Seeing Master Xuan Yi leaping down from the city tower with the Queen Mother, the second prince became furious and immediately jumped into the air.
Just when the second prince's hand was about to grab the queen mother, the emperor was sitting on horseback, drawing his bow and nocking an arrow.
Poof!
The sound of a sharp arrow entering the body came.
The second prince fell down from the city wall. (End of chapter)
