In ancient times, I made a fortune by copying my family

Prince Rui's expression suddenly changed, "Why did the Queen Mother disappear? What happened?"

Such a big thing had 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 servants were afraid of disturbing the Queen Mother's rest, so she stayed outside the door with Qinghong and the 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 thought that the Queen Mother accidentally touched the brocade stool. Unexpectedly, after entering, she found that the Queen Mother had disappeared and agarwood hand-stringed beads were scattered on the ground. "

Prince Rui was still holding on to some luck, but the Queen Mother was just depressed and didn't want anyone around her, so she quietly left alone to find a quiet place.

But seeing the beads in the palace maid's hands, Prince Rui quickly denied 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 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.

"Come here, search for me immediately!"

The Queen Mother would not disappear for no reason, and if something happened at this moment, it must have something to do with the Second Prince.

The second prince wanted to escape, and it would be inconvenient 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.

But 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 used the queen mother's life to force the emperor, then everything he had done today would be in vain.

Ling Chu could only find two Jinyi guards and let them escort Princess Dingyuan back to the palace, 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.

Please 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 abilities, and he was very happy to see her willing to help.

When Ling Chu finished the hexagram, he couldn't wait to ask, "How is it? Did you calculate it?"

Ling Chu nodded, "Xicheng."

"Xicheng?"

Prince Rui looked surprised.

Ling Chu 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 city gates. Could it be that he thought that the more dangerous the place, the safer it would be?
Although there are many imperial troops around the second prince, even if we add 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.

There must have been heavy troops deployed at the four city gates to prevent the second prince from escaping.

But the emperor might not have guessed that the second prince would hold the queen mother hostage.

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 didn't need to think about it to know that the emperor must be trying to avoid it.

The sword in the second prince's hand was placed on the Queen Mother's neck, no one dared to take action no matter how powerful they were in martial arts.

"You traitor, I won't let your royal grandmother go yet!"

Xu felt that his face was torn, and the second prince no longer pretended to be gentle as before, but sneered, "Father, I am not stupid. If you let the emperor's 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 was a good thing that the emperor didn't mention Concubine An Xian, but when he mentioned it, the second prince wanted to kill the emperor. "My son, my mother-in-law, is gone. She was 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, but he did not expect that she was killed by the empress.

"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 hadn't 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 Kyoto. Father, you'd better take your troops and retreat. Otherwise, if my hands shake, it will be bad."

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 mother has lived for such a long time, even if she dies, it will be nothing.

Just do it. "

The second prince's eyes were filled with coldness. Sure enough, in this world, only his mother and concubine were sincere to him.

The Queen Mother has no shortage of grandchildren, so why would she care about his life and death.

The second prince pressed hard on the Queen Mother's neck with the sword in his hand, and at the same time roared at the emperor outside the city, "Get back! Move back ten miles."

"Mother!" Seeing the Queen Mother's expression of pain and blood oozing from her neck, the Emperor subconsciously wanted to step forward.

But seeing the murderous intent on the second prince's face, he could only wave his hand and signal, "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 men.

Although the Queen Mother was annoyed that the second prince had taken her hostage, she still thought of her grandson whom she doted on. "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 about 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 subconsciously wants to resist.

But Master Xuan Yi had already clamped his wrist.

Pulling and twisting, the long sword fell out of hand and fell to the ground with a clang.

Master Xuan Yi used the invisibility technique 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 back 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 on the left and right, and subdued the imperial guards around him with a wave of their hands.

Seeing Master Xuan Yi jumping down from the city tower with the Queen Mother, the second prince was 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 the horse with his bow and arrow ready.

puff!
The sound of a sharp arrow entering the body came.

The second prince fell headlong from the city wall. (End of chapter)
