Han Ziqi sent the tenth princess and his mother-in-law back to the palace before the fight in Chaoyang Palace. The imperial concubine was afraid. The Sangnan people had a natural surrender to Beining and had suffered a defeat. It was inevitable that she would feel uneasy. She was also afraid that she would be in the palace. She had nothing in this battle and could not protect her son and daughters. She held Han Ziqi's hand tightly, "Son, have a good talk with His Highness and strive for the best terms. Don't let any more turmoil happen. Your father has already Die, Sang Nan, you will be the king of the county in the future, there is no need to cause trouble again."

She and the women of King Sangnan have been fighting openly and secretly for a lifetime. Although her son is firmly seated as the crown prince, the other princes are still eyeing him. Now that King Sangnan is dead, her son is King Sangnan. She can be regarded as breathing a sigh of relief. , no one will bully their mother and son in the future. If Sang Nan is gone, it will be gone. As long as their family can live in peace and worry-free, that is more important than anything else. The imperial concubine does not care about Sang Nan destroying the country, being the king of subjugation, etc., She just wants her comfortable life not to be overturned.

Han Ziqi comforted her, "Don't worry, mother, my son will handle it properly."

As soon as he left the imperial concubine's palace, Han Li came in a hurry, "Your Majesty, something is wrong. There is a killing over at Chaoyang Palace."

"Why did they start killing?" Han Ziqi was furious and hurried to the Chaoyang Palace, but it was too late. Just when Ying Yi was running out to protect Xie Jue, Han Ziqi was stunned. When he left the Chaoyang Palace, the high priest was present, and he clearly promised to He would appease the eldest prince and would not cause turmoil, so why did he start killing him?

A large number of forbidden troops chased Xie Jue and Ying Yi, but Han Ziqi was unable to stop them. The Chaoyang Palace was on fire very violently, and the fire had spread outwards. The sound of fighting was endless. Han Ziqi shouted frantically to stop, but the forbidden troops went crazy and killed Didn't listen to his orders at all.

Han Ziqi rushed over to the corpses on the ground and saw the sluggish corpses of the third prince and the decapitated eldest prince at a glance. The corpses were very easy to identify. Even if they were headless, they could still recognize them by their clothes.

Han Ziqi grabbed the third prince and shouted, "Third brother, what's going on? Why did you start?"

"Ask the high priest!" The third prince was also shocked and did not come back to his senses.

The priests were unstained by dust and holy as snow. They were looking at the fighting soldiers coldly. There seemed to be no death or killing in their eyes. They seemed to be performing a very sacred ritual, ignoring everything. Life, Han Ziqi seemed to have been slapped hard!

"High Priest, what are you doing?" he asked in a trembling voice, and his whole body was trembling. Behind the high priest was the Chaoyang Palace with flames blazing into the sky and the fighting crowd, but he seemed to be aloof and unaffected.

High Priest Du Fang looked at Han Ziqi calmly, "We priests uphold the royal family's orthodoxy, but chose a weak monarch. Since Sang Nan wants to surrender, then the royal family should die to apologize!"

"Are you crazy? What can you do if you don't surrender? We don't have the strength to fight at all. Can this forbidden army withstand the Ningzhou cavalry?" Han Ziqi's teeth chattered with hatred. "Everyone agreed to surrender. You were I didn’t say anything, but now I’m regretting it, wait... my father was burned to death... was it you who did it?"

"No, he voluntarily sacrificed his humble body for Sang Nan. The moment he signed the surrender letter, he knew his fate."

"You are absolutely crazy, come on, stop!" Han Ziqi shouted, "Han Li, tell them all to stop immediately!"

But it's too late!

Xie Jue led the Ningzhou cavalry to kill a carbine. Chen Yesheng led the spies to the Chaoyang Palace one step ahead of Xie Jue and the others. The Chaoyang Palace was full of corpses. The entire Chaoyang Palace was burned down and collapsed, and many were seriously injured. The soldiers had no time to escape from the Chaoyang Palace and were burned alive in the Chaoyang Palace. The ground was a mess. Chen Yesheng's eyes were red and splitting, "Young Master, Young Master..."

All the Jiangnan spies were looking for Fang Chuning among the corpses. There was no one outside the Chaoyang Palace, and the high priest, Han Ziqi and others were missing.

There was only a burning fire that kept spreading outwards. "Young Master..." Chen Yesheng and others shouted in despair. Xie Jue led the Ningzhou cavalry to kill them back. The imperial troops blocking the front fell one after another. Xie Jue turned over and dismounted, and saw corpses all over the ground. His face was as white as snow. His lips trembled, and without any order, Lin Xiao and Zhang Boxing quickly dismounted to look for survivors, and the military doctors were also busy.

"A Ning..." He felt an inexplicable ringing in his ears and could barely hear the voices of others. He saw Chen Yesheng and others constantly looking for Fang Chuning among the corpses, identifying them one by one.

"There is a living person here, come quickly!" Lin Xiao shouted, finding a seriously injured soldier from the corpse, and the military doctor hurriedly came over to treat him.

"A Ning..." Xie Jue also quickly joined the search for people, identifying them one by one. He wanted to see the person alive and the body after death.

Not far away, Ying 1 and 2 were kneeling next to two corpses. They were Ying 3 and Ying 5. Ying 1, 2, 3 and 4 were brothers. Ying 4 stayed in Beijing to protect Ruyi this time and did not follow Xie Jue to Sangnan. In this turmoil, Ying Er died protecting his master, and Ying Er burst into tears. Why didn't his brother lead the prince to evacuate, and it would have been better for him to stay.

After Ying Yi wiped away his tears, he continued to look for his brothers, and soon found Liu Qi. Ying Qi had no breath, and Ying Liu was seriously injured and comatose, on the verge of death. He shouted to the military doctors and asked them to come and treat them as soon as possible.

Xie Jue never found Fang Chuning.

Chen Yesheng and Jiangnan's spies searched through almost all the corpses, but could not find Fang Chuning!

"My lord, I can't find the young master!" Chen Yesheng's eyes were full of fear. Almost all the three hundred Ningzhou cavalry who followed Xie Jue into the palace were killed here. Only a few soldiers who lost too much blood survived by chance. It is not known whether they can survive. Fang Chuning Without a trace, Zhang Boxing quickly counted the number of people, including Fang Chuning, who was missing more than 20 people. They all looked at the Chaoyang Palace with flames soaring into the sky.

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts. Could it be that they were caught in the flames?

"Your Majesty... Young Master's sword..." Chen Yesheng found Fang Chuning's long sword. It was the sword that he never left.

Xie Jue looked at the sharp blade that followed Fang Chuning in all directions and killed countless enemies. He only briefly left his body during the two years in Beiman. His blood was cold. He looked up at the burning Chaoyang Palace, his eyes filled with blood.

a long time.

The soldiers near him didn't say a word, and they even relaxed their movements to search for the wounded. At that moment, no one knew what Xie Jue was thinking.

Xie Jue suppressed the hatred surging in his heart, "Come here, seal the palace gate, put out the fire, find the high priest and Han Ziqi, don't let anyone go!"

"Yes!" (End of this chapter)
