After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall

Chapter 317 in torment

All I could hear was the emperor roaring in anger, "I entrusted this huge country to you and made you the crown prince. But now, how on earth are you going to protect this ancestral heritage for me?!"

The prince was terrified when he heard this. He curled up like a small animal trapped in a trap with nowhere to escape and kowtowed repeatedly to admit his fault, "Your son was really harmed by a traitor...

Please, Father..."

"You really think you're something good!"

"Putting hope on such a weak and incompetent person is simply the worst choice! I should have strangled him in the cradle back then to avoid the trouble we have today!"

After saying that, he raised his foot and kicked the prince, who was lying on the ground, hard in the abdomen, causing him to curl up and wail in pain.

No one in the entire palace was willing to stand up and speak for the government, including the Prime Minister, who had always been regarded as the most respected among all the civil and military officials. His face was now extremely pale.

Outside, rebels are ready to break through the palace defenses at any time; while inside, there is a serious crisis of losing the heir to power.

Being caught in a dilemma, it is undoubtedly as difficult as a knife cutting into the heart for the Prime Minister who holds real power but is helpless at the moment!

However, at this moment, a sudden burst of rapid coughing broke the deathly silent atmosphere - it turned out that the old emperor, who had just beaten his own son too hard due to emotional excitement, also began to breathe heavily.

The eunuch who had served by his side for many years and knew the limits of propriety immediately stepped forward and carefully supported the emperor's slightly hunched body in an attempt to relieve his discomfort...

At this time, everyone in the hall was already in panic. No matter whether they were high-ranking nobles or humble servants, they all felt an unprecedented fear enveloping their bodies.

A thick layer of dark clouds seemed to spread in the air, making the entire space seem to be solidified...

Just when everyone thought that the situation was irreversible, suddenly a young man named Song Yanyi, who looked elegant and gentle but had sharp wisdom in his eyes, stepped forward and walked to the throne and bowed calmly: "Your Majesty, I may have found a good way to get out of this predicament."

These words made the prince, who was already in an awkward position at the center of the storm and felt extremely ashamed, feel even more mixed emotions: I thought today would be one of the good days for him to be crowned with honors and glory!

Who would have thought that I would end up being nothing more than a backdrop for others to display their talents and strategies...

After hearing this, the emperor immediately became interested and asked hurriedly, "What's the trick?"

The young man replied calmly, "According to my understanding, Prince Qi is stationed in Linzhou, the closest place to the royal city, because he is busy organizing the army recently and has not been able to attend the banquet. If we can contact him and ask his elite troops to rush to reinforce us, I believe they will be able to help us escape."

The queen sitting next to him sneered and said sarcastically, "Humph! Everyone knows how many thieves are surrounding outside. If they go out now, it will be a disaster. What's the point of you saying such nonsense?"

As soon as he said this, the emperor immediately rebuked him: "Isn't it shameful enough for your son to do such a wicked thing? How dare you be so shameless as to argue with him?"

The Queen's face suddenly became pale with veins popping out, and she froze in her seat as dead as a deathly pale.

After all, she is the mother of the country, but she was scolded so mercilessly by her husband in public. She lost all her dignity and face!

On the other hand, Song Yanyi analyzed more calmly: "I propose to mobilize the Cavalry Battalion to cover me to break out of the palace and go to Linzhou to ask for help. I wonder if Your Majesty will agree to it?"

This sentence is like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing thousands of waves!

Not only did it make all the ministers look at it sideways, but it also made the eldest lady and the master, who were already almost suffocating under the tense atmosphere, completely lose their composure...

When the emperor looked at Song Yanyi, his eyes flashed with rare approval. He patted the latter's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "It is really admirable that you can show such extraordinary courage at such a young age! As long as this mission is successfully completed, I will give you a generous reward as an encouragement!"

Upon hearing this, the latter responded respectfully: "I accept your order and thank you!"

Then he turned around and walked towards the woman who was standing not far away and looking at him nervously, and said softly to comfort her: "Don't worry, just stay here and don't run around. Just wait for me to pick you up."

The woman reached out and grabbed the corner of the man's clothes, her eyes filled with worry and reluctance: "Really... can we really return safely?"

Feeling the warmth and slightly trembling power from his lover in his palm, the young man smiled and comforted the other party: "Trust me, I will be fine."

Then he resolutely took a step forward and walked out of everyone's sight...

After witnessing his lover's determined back as he walked away, the old emperor followed in his footsteps, walked out of the hall, and climbed up the stairs step by step until he reached the top floor.

Looking around, the entire situation inside and outside the palace can be seen at a glance...

The others followed suit and climbed to higher places to look at what was happening in the distance. Even Erectile Dysfunction, who was feeling equally heavy and extremely graceful, couldn't help but move with the crowd and finally stood on the highest floor of the pavilion and looked at the end of the sky.

It was a pity that even though they were standing on the commanding heights, they could still only vaguely see that the area around the palace was surrounded by densely packed enemies, and there was no gap at all for the reinforcements to enter smoothly.

Outside the palace gate, corpses were everywhere and blood flowed like a river. The screams of battle could be heard continuously...

At this critical moment, Song Yanyi, who was particularly eye-catching in a light green robe, mounted his horse with a sword in his hand and led a group of elite soldiers to charge out.

When they passed through the palace gate and gradually disappeared from sight, no matter how hard you looked, you couldn't see any trace of them through the heavy army...

Cui Rongrong stood quietly for a long time, clinging to the edge of the fence. As time went by, her hands began to sweat slightly.

Even though she had always been able to see that person calm and confident no matter where she was, it was still difficult for her to remain calm and composed in such an extremely dangerous situation...

He kept imagining various possible unexpected situations that would lead to irreversible outcomes, which made him feel extremely tormented and worried...

Perhaps the bloody and cruel scene in front of them was too shocking, so that the people who were originally talking and arguing gradually became quiet and fell into a strange silence. Even the emperor stopped talking and just stared at the distance silently; and the king Xuan, who was of a prominent status but was suppressed and humiliated, simply prostrated himself on the ground and dared not move at all...

After nearly half an hour of suffocating and oppressive waiting, a deafening roar of horse hooves suddenly came from afar...

Cui Rong suddenly raised her head, with a hint of surprise in her eyes - she saw a bright flag with the word "Qi" written on it fluttering in the wind.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of cavalry poured into the city wall...
