Chapter 112 Renewing the past 8
The Sixteenth Prince hugged Zhang Xintong
"Sister Fairy, have you forgotten me?"
Zhang Xintong pushed away the sixteenth prince
"Royal brother, I am your sister-in-law. This is not appropriate. You have grown up. I will go back to the mansion first. If there is anything, we can talk about it after your fifth brother comes back tomorrow."
Zhang Xintong returned to the Fifth Prince's Mansion. One third of the guards had already returned, and they would probably all be back by dawn.
Zhang Xintong didn't dare to sleep, she kept staring at the direction of the palace, if something happened she could still find a way to save him
When the palace gate opened in the morning, Situ Mo Ran rushed back to the house. The moment he saw Zhang Xintong, Situ Mo Ran's heart was relieved.
"Tongtong, don't go out recently. Wait until the Second Prince's matter is resolved before going out."
"Okay, I'll do as you say. By the way, you didn't take any action last night, so where is the Second Prince?"
"I didn't take any action, and neither did he, but his army is still outside the city. He will definitely not give up. It will only take a few days. He will definitely rebel."
"Mo Ran, have you had any conflicts with your Sixteenth Brother recently?"
"It was fine before. We had a fight yesterday. He told me to leave you alone and just pull the Second Prince down. I can't give up on you. You are more important to me than anything else. I didn't listen to him, and we had a fight."
"Well, now that I'm back, will you two still work together?"
"Tongtong, do you think I can still cooperate with him?"
"Mo Ran, we can cooperate. After we bring down the Second Prince, let's go back to Huanyi Palace, okay? I don't want to stay in the capital. I like staying in Huanyi Palace with you."
"Okay, after we finish here, let's go back to Huanyi Palace."
Zhang Xintong has not gone out these days and has been staying in the mansion. The sixteenth prince came several times to discuss things with Situ Mo Ran, but Zhang Xintong did not participate.
Zhang Xintong fed Li Mohan in the space spiritual spring water to keep him alive, and planned to release him after the Second Prince's matter was resolved. It would be a waste of time to release him now, and it would be unreasonable to kill him. This was the only way to do it.
The atmosphere in the capital was becoming increasingly tense. Five days later, news came from the palace that the emperor was seriously ill. However, Situ Mo Ran received the news that the emperor had been poisoned.
According to the original owner's second life memory, he only knew that Situ Moran and the Sixteenth Prince teamed up to defeat the Second Prince. After that, the original owner was exiled. The subsequent situation in the capital is unknown.
Zhang Xintong gave Situ Moyan a detoxification pill
"Mo Ran, this is an antidote pill. It can cure 80% of poisons. Even the most severe poisons can save your life for a few days. Your emperor father treats you well. It's up to you whether you want to save him or not."
"Well, thank you Tongtong"
Situ Moran did not return that night. He left all the masters of Huanyi Palace in his mansion to protect Zhang Xintong. The Second Prince also rebelled on this day. There were the Second Prince's men at the gate of the capital, and the army outside the city easily entered the city.
The last time Zhang Xintong came back, she told Situ Mo Ran that there were the Second Prince's men at the city gate. Situ Mo Ran arrested a few, but it was clear that there were still some who slipped through the net.
The Second Prince did not come to the Fifth Prince's Mansion, but went all the way to the Imperial Palace. The Second Prince brought 50,000 men with him, while Situ Moran only had 20,000 imperial guards given by the Emperor. The difference in strength was quite large.
When the Second Prince forced Situ Moran and the Sixteenth Prince into the Emperor's bedroom, the two sides began their final standoff.
"Fifth brother, sixteenth brother, you have already retreated here, why don't you surrender?"
The second prince's condescending attitude shows his ambition. He feels that the throne is already his.
"Second brother, was it you who poisoned our father?"
"So what if I did it? You have no chance. The throne is mine."
"Cough, cough, cough"
The emperor on the dragon bed coughed violently. Situ Moran and the sixteenth prince helped the emperor up and patted his back gently.
"Second brother, how dare you kill your father and your king?"
"Father, I am already over forty, how many more years do I have left? You have enjoyed enough blessings, it is time for you to abdicate and let others take over."
"You rebellious son"
"It's no use saying anything. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Now I am the winner."
The Sixteenth Prince stood up, looking relaxed, not at all like he was cornered.
"Second brother, do you really think you won?"
"Sixteenth brother, if I don't win, then you will win?"
The Sixteenth Prince said to a leader beside the Second Prince:
"Li Meng, come here!"
Li Meng walked out from the Second Prince and stood behind the Sixteenth Prince
Li Meng has 20,000 men under his command, and the situation suddenly reverses.
Situ Moyan and the Sixteenth Prince have a total of 40,000 men, while the Second Prince only has 30,000 men left. This war will be brutal, but the Second Prince will definitely lose.
The second prince looked at Li Meng with red eyes.
"Li Meng, I've been very kind to you, why did you betray me?"
"I belong to my prince, so how can I say I'm a traitor? I'm just lurking by your side."
The second prince pointed at Li Meng and could not say a word.
When the Second Prince and the Sixteenth Prince were fighting, the Emperor called out the Qianyu Guards, who were the Emperor's secret guards. There were only ten of them in total, and they were all highly skilled in martial arts. Each of them had the ability to take the head of a general in the midst of thousands of troops.
The emperor ordered the Qianyu Guard to capture the second prince and execute him on the spot if he resisted.
Although the people around the second prince were capable, they were not as good as the Qianyu Guards. The Qianyu Guards captured the second prince, and the emperor ordered him to be imprisoned in the Zongrenfu to await punishment. Thus ended a palace coup.
When Zhang Xintong heard the whole story, she realized that the Sixteenth Prince had already planted someone next to the Second Prince. The Sixteenth Prince was quite scheming.
The detoxification pills given by Zhang Xintong also worked. If the emperor didn't wake up, it would have been a fierce battle. The emperor could only command the Qianyu Guards when he was awake. The Qianyu Guards only obeyed the emperor's orders and no one else could command them.
"Mo Ran, I want to meet the Second Prince, can you help me arrange it?"
"Tongtong, why are you meeting him?"
"I want to ask him if he sent someone to kill the Zhang family members."
"Tongtong, the Second Prince is imprisoned in the Imperial Clan House. Don't go there. I'll go ask him and make sure I get the details for you."
"That's fine, then ask."
In fact, there is no need to ask, Zhang Xintong knows that the original owner's family must have been killed by the Second Prince and Lu Zhongshu
The result of Situ Mo Ran's question was just as Zhang Xintong thought. The original owner's family was killed by the second prince. The idea of killing the original owner's family and seizing the original owner's property was proposed by Lu Zhongshu. Both of them are not good people.
Lu Zhongshu is already dead. Zhang Xintong only needs to kill the second prince to complete her mission. Zhang Xintong wants to wait for two more days to see if the emperor will kill the second prince.
If the emperor kills the second prince, it will save him trouble. If the emperor doesn't kill him, he will kill the second prince himself.
The world may really want Zhang Xintong to rest and not do any work, so the emperor ordered the second prince to be killed.
After everything was settled, Zhang Xintong found an opportunity to release Li Mohan from the space. Although he was kept alive by the spiritual spring water, he was weak after not eating for many days.
"Li Mohan, Zhang Xintong chose to be with Situ Moran because she loves him. She is very satisfied to have her beloved by her side in the last few years of her life, so you don't have to do anything for her. Go back to Qingshan Sect."
Zhang Xintong left after she finished speaking without saying anything more to Li Mohan.
