The prince wanted to divorce his wife during pregnancy, and the reborn princess burst into laughter

Chapter 96 The Ninth King Arrives
Yunxiao is also waiting for the 300,000 troops. Those 300,000 troops are not cavalry, but infantry. It will take more than one or two days for 300,000 troops to walk back to the capital, so he is also waiting.

When the Duke came to Prince Rong's mansion to announce the decree, he didn't even knock on the door.

The Duke was so angry that he threatened Prince Rong at the gate of his mansion for a while, but finally returned to the palace in disgrace.

Then he reported it to the emperor, who was furious.

"Send the Imperial Guards to surround Prince Rong's Mansion."

The emperor knows nothing. The imperial guards are now like loose sand. Even Commander Li had disappeared when Concubine Shu was defeated.

The Duke hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, Commander Li of the Imperial Guard has disappeared, and we don't know where the Grand Duke has gone. Now the Imperial Guard is unattended."

"Huh, I'm so mad, I'm so mad, cough cough cough..."

The emperor was so angry that his chest heaved. The imperial physician Zhang beside him hurried to calm him down and glared at the duke.

"Duke, the emperor should not be excited at this time. Can't you come to report to the emperor later?"

"Imperial Doctor Zhang, this is not the Duke's fault. I am fine."

Imperial Physician Zhang curled his lips and said that he was fine, just about to die.

Is imperial power really more important than life? If you have lost your life, what is the use of imperial power?

"Duke, go and call Deputy Commander Wu."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The Duke immediately called Deputy Commander Wu over.

Deputy Commander Wu is the second son of the Wu family, a prominent family in the capital. His ability is inferior to that of Commander Li, but now the emperor has no choice but to appoint him as commander.

Deputy Commander Wu didn't know about this good news yet. He excitedly cupped his hands and vowed: "I will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations. I will bring Prince Rong to the palace and let the emperor decide his fate."

The emperor liked to hear this. After giving some instructions, he waved his hand and told Commander Wu to leave quickly.

Commander Wu immediately led a hundred imperial guards out of the palace, came to Prince Rong's mansion, and surrounded it.

He stood outside the door and shouted, "Prince Rong, the emperor invites you to come to the palace to see him."

However, Ling Xiao still ignored him. No matter how loudly Commander Wu shouted or how much his throat was broken, or how much he surrounded Prince Rong's Mansion, he just didn't respond.

Ha, Ling Xiao sneered, thinking that he didn't know that this would force him to hand over the imperial seal. Once it was in his hands, how could he hand it over? There was no door or window to speak of.

Could he be trapped in Prince Rong's Mansion in this way? He was totally wrong. When he knew that the secret passage in the cold palace led to outside the city, he got the inspiration and he started digging a tunnel in Prince Rong's Mansion.

His tunnel leads directly to the cold palace and is connected to the previous tunnel.

Once the tunnel was dug through, he would rush directly into the palace through the tunnel, and the soldiers outside the city could also enter directly from the tunnel in the north of the city.

Then they surrounded the palace without anyone noticing. Now, they just wait for the east wind.

"My Lord, the Ninth Lord is here."

At this moment, the palace guards came in to report.

Ling Xiao said coldly: "It's useless even if the Duke comes. Even if the Imperial Guards come, they can't do anything to me. Do you think Old Nine can do anything?"

It turned out that Commander Wu was unable to knock on the door of Prince Rong's Mansion. He also did not dare to burn down Prince Rong's Mansion like Commander Li did. If he went back to report to the emperor, the emperor might dislike him for his incompetence.

He guaranteed this.

He thought for a long time and then thought of the Ninth Prince, who was the emperor's younger brother, and he would probably be willing to make this trip.

The Ninth Prince really came. He already knew the situation in the palace, but he just kept his troops in place and stared at Ling Xiao.

It was really because the 300,000 troops under Ling Xiao's command were too intimidating, so they dared not act rashly.

This time he came to test Ling Xiao's true strength. The guard asked, "Do you want to see him, Your Majesty?"

Ling Xiao said coldly: "No."

Why should he meet him? He knew that Lao Jiu was here to test his strength, so how could he let anyone into his house and reveal his true identity?

"Yes, I understand. I will report this to the Ninth Prince."

The guard immediately came out to reply to the Ninth Prince.

"Replying to the Ninth Prince, my prince has something to do. He said he would personally go to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to apologize some other day."

The Ninth Prince looked at Commander Wu and spread his hands towards him, implying that he had no other options, so he left.

Commander Wu was so angry that he asked people to knock on the door, but the door was almost broken and there was no movement in Prince Rong's mansion.

"Boss, how about we set fire to Prince Rong's mansion like Commander Li did? I don't believe Prince Rong can still stay here."

At this time, a captain came over to offer advice.

Commander Wu glanced at him and said, "Do you know what happened to those imperial guards?"

All of the imperial guards had their arms and legs broken, and are now crying in the Imperial Hospital.

The team leader shrank his neck and asked, "So we just surround them like this?"

"Otherwise, hurry over and show it to this commander."

He is not as stupid as Commander Li. Commander Li can escape if he messes up, but he can't.

Since Prince Rong won't come out, they will just wait here. As soon as he comes out, they will take him to the palace to see the emperor, and his mission will be accomplished.

And the purpose of their coming was to trap Prince Rong and prevent him from leaving the palace and coming into contact with the 300,000-strong army, and then to leave time for the emperor.

This was what the emperor had told him when he came. He probably expected that he would not be able to invite Prince Rong to come.

So Da had no choice but to guard the gate of Prince Rong's Mansion.

On the other hand, after the Ninth Prince returned, he immediately went into the palace. When he saw the emperor's horrible appearance, he was really scared.

He asked anxiously: "Brother, I haven't seen you for just a few days, how come you have become like this?"

The emperor had a plump face, but now it became dark and thin, with deep eye sockets and dark circles under his eyes, which looked scary.

The emperor was furious: "It was all because of that bitch, Concubine Shu. I didn't know there was such a poisonous snake sleeping next to me, and it killed me.

By the way, why did you just enter the palace? What have you been doing these past two days?"

When he wanted his brother to help, he was not there, so the emperor couldn't help but become suspicious.

The Ninth Prince cried and said, "It's not that my brother doesn't want to enter the palace, it's that he can't see me at all."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and did not comment on what the Ninth Prince said. He was indeed controlled by Concubine Shu and the Queen for those two days and could not come in.

He then calmed down and said, "When you see me like this, you know I won't live for many days. There are some things I can't let go of. I will tell you when you come."

The Ninth Prince didn't show it on his face when he heard this, but he was very happy in his heart. He nodded and said, "If the Emperor has any instructions, please tell me. I will do my best to carry them out."

The emperor still believed in his brother and knew that he had no such intention, so he said: "I entrust Zhan'er to you. If I am gone one day, you will assist him.

Besides, the jade seal may have been taken away by Ling Xiao, that bastard. You have to find a way to get it back, otherwise Zhan Er will not be able to sit on the throne legitimately."

The Ninth Prince didn't know that Yuxi was lost yet. His eyes flashed, "Brother, it's too early to say this. Brother, you will be fine. After I leave the palace, I will go to the folks to find a miracle doctor to treat you. Brother, you must cheer up."

The emperor shook his head and said, "Don't waste your energy. I know my body is already exhausted. Just do as I say."
