Chapter 398: The Prince Rebelled and Escaped From the Imperial City (Part 2)

It was late at night.

The lights in the imperial study were still bright. After Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian instructed Luo Yucheng, the deputy commander of the Dragon City Internal Guard and Marquis of Wuping, to personally deal with the matter of the former Empress Dowager Su Wan'er, he did not choose to go to Kunning Palace or Fengyi Palace, but stayed alone in the imperial study.

For Chen Huaian, the former Empress Dowager Su Wan'er and the child in his belly were hidden dangers that must be dealt with;

However, he did not take more direct and rough measures, but ordered the Dragon City Internal Guard to attack and deal with the matter quietly.

Because he knew his brother Chen Longxiang's temper and force very well. If he really used a simple and rough way to solve the problem, it would definitely provoke Chen Longxiang's resistance.

Chen Longxiang's four elephants were invincible, and he was good at using a pair of drums and golden hammers. If he really went crazy, there might be no one in the huge Jinling City who could stop him.

Therefore, Chen Huaian would resort to this desperate measure. He would hold Chen Longxiang at the banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony tomorrow to entertain all the civil and military officials and envoys from various countries, so as to create an opportunity for Wuping Hou Luo Yucheng to abduct Su Wan'er.

In the future, time and the wedding will dilute the influence that Su Wan'er has brought to her brother Chen Longxiang!

No matter what, Chen Longxiang is his brother, Chen Huaian, who was born of the same mother. He was the child he raised since childhood. He could not let Chen Longxiang go to the point of turning against his brother and killing his brothers.

In the imperial study, Chen Huaian came to the inner hall, where he worshipped the spirit tablet of the late emperor Chen Polu.

Chen Huaian skillfully took out three incense sticks, lit them under the candlelight, and bowed to the spirit tablet of the late emperor. While inserting the three incense sticks, he said to himself: "Dad, today is New Year's Eve again. Counting it up, the last time we had a New Year's Eve reunion was five years ago;"

"Time flies!"

After a pause, Chen Huaian continued: "Long Xiang has grown up now and entered the rebellious period. He also got the former empress dowager Su Wan'er pregnant and brought her home;"

"It is said that the eldest brother is like a father, but I am in front of him. I have no experience in such things, so I can only use the method that I think is right to pull the dragon back from the wrong path; "

"Dad, if you are still alive, you will also support my approach, right?"

Speaking, Chen Huaian smiled and said: "Dad, if you don't say anything, then I will take it as your tacit approval of my approach!"

Puff--

After speaking, Chen Huaian couldn't help but recall that he was in the study of the Prince of Jin's Mansion in the past, just like today, asking the late Emperor Chen Polu about his opinion on raising an army to quell the rebellion.

As a result, the late Emperor Chen Polu naturally agreed!

After talking to the late emperor, Chen Huaian felt that his depressed mood was relieved a lot.

Then, he walked outside and opened the door of the imperial study, looking at the high walls and buildings in the deep palace, watching the snowflakes as big as goose feathers falling, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Another year has passed!

The next day

In the Jinwang Mansion in Jinling City, the servants got up early and were sweeping the snow inside and outside the mansion.

Last night, the winter snow in Jinling City was very heavy, covering the inside and outside of this ancient capital with a thick layer of silver, making Jinling City look more solemn, majestic and beautiful.

Not far from the mansion, Luo Yucheng, the deputy commander of the Longcheng Internal Guard and Marquis of Wuping, and several of his Longcheng Internal Guards, who were dressed in casual clothes, had no intention of appreciating the snow scenery of Jinling City at this time.

Since receiving the emperor's edict in the imperial study last night, he immediately dispatched the most capable Longcheng Internal Guards in Jinling City to set up control and surveillance in the Jinwang Mansion overnight, just to arrest the pregnant woman.

That night, the cold wind blew non-stop and the snow kept falling, almost freezing Luo Yucheng and his soldiers into death. How could they have the heart to appreciate the beautiful scenery of Jinling City after the snow?

Huhu, huhu——

In the alley, several Dragon City guards were breathing and stamping their feet, trying to move themselves as much as possible to warm themselves up.

They also did not forget to whisper to each other in twos and threes.

Someone said: "My Lord, this, this pregnant woman in the Prince of Jin's mansion, what is her background, how can she attract the attention of the emperor, is she a witch who wants to be honored by her son?"

"Shut up!"

Hearing this, Luo Yucheng immediately glared at the subordinate fiercely and said unhappily: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't ask about what you shouldn't know, be careful to dig out your eyes and cut your tongue!"

Hiss——

Luo Yucheng's words made the Dragon City Guard centurion take a breath of cold air, and he really shut up.

However, his words expressed the curiosity of everyone present, including Wuping Hou Luo Yucheng.

He was also curious about who the pregnant woman in the Jin Palace was, who could make the emperor summon him to the palace late at night and ask him not to reveal his identity.

"My Lord, His Royal Highness Jin Prince is out!"

At this time, the voice of another hundred households of Longcheng Internal Guards immediately attracted the attention of Luo Yucheng and his party.

Sure enough, Jin Prince Chen Longxiang, who was wearing ivory white clothes today, was walking out of the palace surrounded by a group of palace servants.

Outside the palace, several tall horses were already waiting.

One of them was a yellow horse, which was the mount of the current emperor. Luo Yucheng recognized that the emperor had ridden this yellow horse all the way from Longcheng to fight and finally ascended the throne.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The emperor's love for his younger brother, the Prince of Jin, was extraordinary!

Suddenly, a woman wearing a red phoenix robe and a mink coat appeared beside the Prince of Jin, Chen Longxiang. Her bulging belly was particularly conspicuous in the crowd in front of the palace. She was exactly the target of Luo Yucheng's trip.

The next moment, when Luo Yucheng saw the woman with a big belly and her beautiful face, he almost shuddered.

He recognized at a glance that the woman next to the Prince of Jin, Chen Longxiang, was the former Empress Dowager Su Wan'er! ! !

Shouldn't she stay in Goguryeo incognito?

How dare she show up in the city of Jinling?

And, could it be that the child in her belly belongs to His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin?

Boom——

In an instant, countless questions and thoughts rushed into the mind of Wuping Hou Luo Yucheng, so that his head exploded with a buzzing sound.

Back then, as the deputy commander of Longcheng Internal Guard, Luo Yucheng followed Jin Wang Chen Huaian to the Jiangyin Navy Camp.

He also knew that the emperor had let the former empress dowager and the deposed emperor and their son go.

Now, he discovered such a shocking secret, how could Luo Yucheng not be frightened.

Until now, he finally understood why the emperor summoned him to Beijing late last night and why he could not reveal his identity.

All of this was because the woman they wanted to catch was actually the former empress dowager who had already drowned in the Jiangyin Navy Camp in the history books and in the hearts of the people, and was also the former empress dowager who was pregnant with the flesh and blood of the first prince of the current Tang Dynasty.

Before he started to act, Luo Yucheng's scalp began to numb!

Then, Luo Yucheng turned around and warned his brothers in a serious and low voice: "You all, listen to me carefully, no one is allowed to leak a word of what happened today, and I will keep it all to myself;"

"Otherwise, not only your lives will be in danger, but also the lives of your nine clans;"

"Did you understand?"

"Yes, Lord!"

Soon, after saying goodbye to Su Wan'er, Chen Longxiang rode on the yellow horse and headed straight for the palace.

And the former Empress Dowager Su Wan'er, who thought that the limelight had passed and the emperor had agreed to the request of their family of three, ignored Chen Longxiang's instructions before leaving, and took her personal maid Liu Ye'er directly to the most prosperous street in Jinling City.

Seeing this scene, Wuping Marquis Luo Yucheng, who was hiding in the alley opposite, made a prompt decision and waved his hand: "Action!"
