Chapter 430 Mutiny

Prince Rong's Mansion.

At that time, when Fuxin learned that the eldest prince would take the other princes to the Imperial Manor tomorrow to teach Nong Sang, she knew that something big would happen tomorrow.

For the fourth prince, who was almost at the end of his rope, this was a perfect opportunity to assassinate the eldest prince.

She could think of this, and so could the eldest prince.

"Oh, he is the one who wants to be the emperor after all!"

How brave you are to risk your life!
But having said that, in order to get rid of the fourth prince and successfully ascend the throne, it is understandable for the eldest prince to take some risks to clear the obstacles. He just called her on, what did he want to do?
Shi Fuxin narrowed her eyes. She seemed to have guessed why Chu Yao was transferred to Jiangnan by the eldest prince at this time.

To test her for convenience?

Did the eldest prince guess that she was Bai Yueguang?
The emperor and the fourth prince were investigating whether she was Bai Yueguang. Shi Fuxin was not surprised that the eldest prince would also know about it.

However, the emperor tested her because he felt that she was a threat and a hidden danger, so he should be on guard, but she actually understood.

But when the eldest prince did the same thing, she felt a little uncomfortable.

The emperor was wary of her because there was no relationship between them. She was an uncontrollable existence to the emperor. However, as the eldest prince's master, she had helped the eldest prince overtly and covertly in recent years. The eldest prince was completely You can feel her favoritism for him.

In this case, if the eldest prince had any doubts, he would not ask her directly, but would secretly test her for confirmation. This not only revealed his distrust of himself, but also revealed that he did not regard her as one of his own.

Is this the emperor's mind?

Shi Fuxin also knew that she and the eldest prince did not have much of a master-disciple relationship, so she felt uncomfortable about this and did not want to ask for more. However, in order for her to act in the name of the 'Emperor's Master' in the future, she immediately decided to have a show tomorrow The play was shown to the eldest prince and the courtiers and clan.

On February 22nd, the princes took the lead, followed by civil and military officials, and the group arrived at the Imperial Manor in a mighty manner.

Shi Fuxin, who was dressed in light clothes, followed the eldest princess and silently watched the undercurrents in the crowd.

The tense atmosphere reached its peak when several princes went down to the fields to plow the fields and the others stood on the ridge to watch.

Obviously, the officials present were worried about something happening. They were afraid that an arrow would be shot from somewhere and kill the eldest prince or the fourth prince. They were even more afraid that the chaos would affect them.

No way, the fight between the eldest prince and the fourth prince has been brought to the forefront during this period. The two sides are already on the same level, and they will never give up until one side is killed.

But surprisingly, nothing happened during the farming period.

This made the officials feel relieved but also felt a little weird.

It shouldn't be. Whether it's the eldest prince or the fourth prince, this trip is an excellent opportunity for assassination. Why didn't either of them choose to take action?
The weird atmosphere continued until they returned to the city. The eldest prince and the fourth prince were always quiet, as if they really came out to persuade Nong Sang today.

On the way back to the city, Shi Fuxin gave Shi Dingxuan and Shi Dinghao a look, signaling them to protect the eldest prince, while she quietly came to the eldest prince's side.

When the eldest prince saw her, he smiled and called: "Master."

Shi Fuxin looked at him: "Something is wrong. I'll stay with you."

The eldest prince's eyes flashed, he glanced at the fourth prince not far away, and nodded silently.

Shi Fuxin glanced at the eunuch beside the eldest prince, and then at the two top masters Beidao and Xizhang who were hidden in the crowd, and simply pretended that they were unaware of their existence.

When they were approaching the city gate, the fourth prince suddenly told everyone to take the first step. Without waiting for anyone's reaction, the fourth prince left with his cronies.

Seeing this, the eldest prince said nothing.

The eldest prince didn't say anything, and the others didn't dare to express their opinions.It was just some people in the team who reacted quickly and quietly stayed away from the team.

The eldest prince also ignored the departure of some officials, and just silently paid attention to Shi Fuxin beside him. His sharp eyes noticed that as soon as the fourth prince left, Shi Fuxin had a white folding fan in her hand.

Looking at the folding fan, the eldest prince looked dazed for a moment, recalling in his mind the white-robed and white-faced woman who suddenly appeared to save him when he was being chased and assassinated during a disaster relief operation in Jianghan.

Chu Yao once chased the white-faced woman, but unfortunately he failed to catch up.

In other words, the white-faced woman's martial arts is far superior to Chu Yao!
Therefore, the master is really Bai Yueguang, and he has been secretly protecting himself all these years!

While the eldest prince was thinking about this, the city gate appeared in everyone's sight.

"There's something wrong on the city wall, be careful."

Shi Fuxin's reminding voice brought the eldest prince back from his thoughts.

The eldest prince looked up at the city wall and raised the corner of his mouth slightly. The fourth prince finally decided to take action!
The eldest prince wanted to ascend the throne legitimately, and the fourth prince naturally wanted it too.

The fourth prince entered the city first and then ordered the city gate to be closed.

When the eldest prince and his party approached the city gate, they saw that the city gate was tightly closed, and the guards on the city wall were replaced by soldiers from the Gyeonggi Camp.

Seeing this scene, the officials present felt a little numb.

Just as everyone was talking about it, Lord Liu Hou appeared on the city wall.

Seeing the bright yellow imperial edict in Lord Liu's hand, everyone stopped talking.

Lord Liu looked down at everyone below and opened the imperial edict: "The Emperor has a decree."

Seeing this, the officials outside the city gate looked at each other in confusion, not knowing how to react, and all looked at the eldest prince.

When Lord Liu saw that everyone did not kneel down to receive the order, he immediately shouted angrily: "How dare you, if you don't kneel down quickly to receive the order, don't you want to resist the order?"

The eldest prince spoke: "Who doesn't know how my father could have an edict when he is unconscious now? I think it is you, Lord Liu, who is pretending to pass on the edict."

Lord Liu was furious: "First Prince, don't talk nonsense. The Emperor just woke up and issued an imperial edict in public, stating that he would pass the throne to the fourth prince."

"The emperor also said that the eldest prince falsely conveyed the imperial decree before. The emperor never thought of passing the throne to you, the eldest prince." The eldest prince sneered: "Not to mention that my father is famous and awake, what you said is in public. Whose people have you lost?"

Lord Liu: "Of course in front of everyone in Qianqing Palace and everyone in the harem."

The eldest prince was even more disdainful: "Who doesn't know that Liu Guifei has been controlling the harem, and the people in the Qianqing Palace are all slaves who serve the father. You can't convince others in public."

"That is, when the emperor passed the jade seal to the eldest prince, in front of all the ministers and clan princes, it was obvious who was falsely passing on the imperial edict."

Immediately, officials from the eldest prince's party spoke out in agreement.

Liu Houye didn't want to argue with the eldest prince's party about who was real and who was fake. He just wanted to show that the fourth prince's succession was justified. He read the imperial edict loudly without using ink.

"The Emperor of Heaven has decreed that the fourth prince shall inherit the throne. I do so!"

As he spoke, he raised his fists toward the sky and said, "According to the order of the new emperor, we will arrest the eldest prince who falsely conveys the imperial edict!"

After the imperial edict was read out, a commotion immediately broke out outside the city gate. Some officials wanted to kneel down to receive the edict, but they were wary of the eldest prince.

The eldest prince looked at Lord Liu with a sneer: "Master Liu, you probably don't know that my father died three days ago."

Marquis Liu didn't care at all whether the emperor died or not, he directly scolded: "First prince, how dare you curse the emperor? You are so unfilial and disloyal, and you still want to become the king of a country?"

The eldest prince's expression remained calm: "As soon as my father passed away, I notified the Empress Dowager and several elders of the clan. The reason why the prince did not announce it was to stabilize the court situation. I never thought that it would be given to the elders. [-]. Opportunities to forge imperial edicts.”

As soon as these words came out, several clan members immediately stood up and said that the emperor had indeed passed away three days ago.

Mr. Liu Hou was a little panicked, but at this moment, he had to take action. He could only insist that the emperor had passed the throne to the fourth prince: "Whoever can capture the eldest prince will be the new emperor's top hero."

Upon hearing this, many people immediately surrounded the eldest prince and protected him.

However, some officials retreated one after another. They neither wanted to capture the eldest prince nor be affected.

Seeing that no one was taking action, Lord Liu waved his hand, and hundreds of soldiers with bows and arrows appeared on the city wall. The soldiers all pointed arrows at the eldest prince below.

Mr. Liu Hou said: "First Prince, the Fourth Prince has made a decree because you and he are brothers. As long as you surrender, he will not make things difficult for you."

The eldest prince ignored Mr. Liu Hou, but glanced around, looked at the officials who were retreating, and then looked at the people who were still protecting him. Finally, his eyes fell on Yun Danfeng beside him. On the young Shi Fuxin.

When Shi Fuxin saw him looking over, she smiled and said, "If you are a master, I will definitely protect you."

The eldest prince smiled knowingly and looked at Lord Liu: "Father has already passed the jade seal to me. Today, the fourth son falsely conveyed the imperial edict and launched a mutiny. He is rebelling!!!"

When Liu Houye saw that the eldest prince directly accused the fourth prince of 'rebellion', he didn't bother to complain and said to the archers on the city wall: "The eldest prince disobeyed the emperor's imperial edict and fired arrows!"

Arrows like rain shot at the eldest prince.

In the face of death, some officials who wanted to gain wealth and wealth also retreated. Only a few people dared to step forward and fight for their lives.

Even the eldest prince, who had arranged everything, wanted to retreat when he saw the dense arrows coming.

Don't be afraid of anything but the worst. No matter how well-planned you are, you only have one life. If the people around you don't protect him well, he will die.

"Shu~"

Just as the people protecting the eldest prince rushed forward to block the arrows, the eldest prince heard the sound of the folding fan being waved. He turned around and saw Shi Fuxin standing in front of him, with the folding fan flying in his hand. The sharp arrows originally shot at him were shot down one after another, and none of them could penetrate him.

Seeing that there was no arrow on the ground within two meters with him as the center, at this moment, the eldest prince felt safer than ever before.

Shi Fuxin knew that she didn't have much of a relationship with her cheap apprentice, and the accumulation of feelings took time. She didn't have the time or the mood to build up the master-disciple relationship with the cheap apprentice, so she had to find another way.

What she has to do today is to provide irreplaceable safety support to her cheap apprentices.

Shi Fuxin stood in front of the eldest prince, not only blocking all the arrows, but also taking action when faced with the steady stream of sharp arrows.

I saw the folding fan flipping over, and the sharp arrow originally shot from the wall turned around and shot towards the people on the wall.

"Ah~"

At this moment, few of the people protecting and blocking the eldest prince's arrows were injured, but a large number of the archers on the city wall died.

"Whoosh~"

Shi Fuxin used a folding fan to catch an arrow, waved her backhand, and shot it directly at Lord Liu Hou on the city wall.

"Ah~"

The sharp arrow was stuck straight into the bun on Mr. Liu's head. Mr. Liu, who had just missed death, was so frightened that he seemed to be stunned and motionless.

While everyone was stunned, Shi Fuxin looked at the eldest prince who was also a little stupid: "Apprentice, do you want to enter the city?"

The eldest prince nodded subconsciously, and when he reacted, he saw Shi Fuxin holding a fan to the city gate, and then with a 'bang' sound, the city gate was opened by an invisible force.

"You can enter the city!"

Shi Fuxin looked at the eldest prince with a smile: "Don't worry, with your teacher by your side, no one can hurt you."

The eldest prince looked at the extremely confident Shi Fuxin, suppressed the shock in his heart, and looked towards the city.

Except for the archers on the city wall, a large number of soldiers from the Gyeonggi camp gathered behind the city gate. They were all pointing their swords and spears at them, as if they were ready to fight.

The eldest prince was silent for a moment, then said: "Enter the city!"
