their relatives and friends. Ripples belonged to the latter category, so on the holiday, she took the levitating car arranged by the housekeeper and went straight back to the Du family.As he stepped...The eunuch in charge of the East Palace was a master, he was confident he could protect the Crown Princess and her three children, especially since the Crown Prince had once hinted that if things came to a desperate situation, he would rather sacrifice the Crown Princess to protect his three children.
Not only were people sent by the Second and Third Princes, but also those from Noble Consort De and Consort Liang, who rushed into the East Palace.
Two people running the inner palace for so long, how could they not have arranged backup, especially this time when their son rebelled. They essentially burned their boats and went all in, so they personally took charge to keep a close eye on the Empress. All the personnel within the palace were used to attack the East Palace.
Two individuals issued a death order to their subordinates, demanding the assassination of the three children at all costs. As women, they understood the significance of children to the prince, and even the implications for General Meng, who commanded troops at the border.
So they not only had to kill the three children, but also the Crown Princess, completely severing the connection between the Crown Prince and the Meng family.
Since the three parties had the same objective, after breaking through the gate of the Eastern Palace, they reached a consensus and started working together, leaving the chief eunuch in a disadvantaged position.
Once suppressed, it's hard to turn the tables, so the door to the Ripple bedroom was quickly broken through.
"Dare you, how dare you trespass into the East Palace!"
Ripples pretended to scoff angrily.
"Humph! I've come for your life!"
A heavily armored guard who had just burst in sneered and swung his sword at Ripples.
A eunuch followed closely, along with two palace maids, they rushed straight to the bed carved with intricate patterns. They lifted the bed curtains and started hacking wildly.
Only after the swords fell did they realize something was wrong. At that moment, a whirlwind figure flashed past, and the three of them only felt darkness before their eyes. They let out a howl, clutching at their bleeding eyes as they collapsed to the ground.
Since Ripple had warned them against killing on the mission plane, creating unnecessary bloodshed, Cyclone only scratched the eyes of three people, leaving them incapacitated.
And the man who attacked Ripples was also in terror, his arm severed by Ripples, blood splattering all over Ripples, and he himself fainted from pain.
With ripples unfazed, she retracted the soft document from her grasp and gazed at the eunuch who had rushed in, ready to save her.
The Eunuch Regent looked at the bloodstains on the ground, the howls in his ears, the composure in the Crown Princess's eyes, and the cold, vertical pupils of the black cat beside her. He shivered involuntarily.
The ripple just smirked, then his face changed and he shouted:
"Grandpa, be careful!"
Just as the chief eunuch was stunned, a blade pierced his heart. As he lowered his head to look, the knife was withdrawn again, and the chief eunuch fell limply to the ground.
The person who rushed in hadn't had time to see the situation inside before being scratched by the whirlwind in the eye. At this time, an hour had passed since the palace change.
The Crown Prince, leading the guards from the nearby camp, charged into his father's bedroom under the guise of protecting him. By this time, there were hardly three people standing by the old emperor's side, clearly showing that the second and third princes were truly going all out with no turning back.
When the two men saw the crown prince charging in with his armor and troops, they knew it was over. The second prince, showing no hesitation, immediately took the emperor hostage, hoping for a last-ditch effort.
When both sides were at a stalemate, an arrow shot from the shadows, piercing through the old emperor and the second prince, leaving them both lifeless on the ground!
"Father!!!"
The prince's anguished cries echoed throughout the palace. Then, he roared, demanding the capture of the treacherous third prince who had murdered their father. The two younger brothers were brought into the palace, and chaos erupted as guards scrambled to regain control of the situation.
A flash of triumph crossed the prince's eyes, only to be replaced by grief. He ordered someone to clean the hall while personally placing the bodies of the old emperor and his second brother in a side hall. He also instructed someone to fetch his mother, while he led his people to the East Palace to retrieve his crown princess and child.
"Master, the prince is on his way here. He'll be here in about fifteen minutes!"
"I got it!"
Actually, the people on the East Palace side had already suffered heavy casualties, and almost all those who besieged the East Palace were dead. It was only then that Lianyi used the enemy's sword to slash herself across her waist and rolled on the ground, making herself look like a bloody mess, utterly disheveled. Only then did Duo Duo release the three children.
Liàn Yī held onto three children, hiding in the dead corner by the bed, then closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. By now, the whirlwind had gone to the maids' quarters, leading Sun Mama and Lánzhī who were hiding in a box.
Two people looked at the corpses along the way, and the bloodstains on the ground that had not yet dried. Their legs were weak, they walked slower and slower. Under the impatient urging of the whirlwind's "meow meow," the two finally supported each other into Lianri's bedroom.
The whirlwind carried the two of them to where Ripple was hiding, and then it was gone.
"Princess Consort!!"
Miss!!
Both of them cried out in surprise and rushed over.
Grandma Sun's hands trembled so badly, she didn't dare to test the ripples of her breath.
Perhaps the smell of blood in the house was too strong for the baby. Coupled with the ripples constantly circling the three children, the little one felt uncomfortable. With his eyes still closed, he began to cry with his mouth open.
One child began to cry, and the other two children seemed to have been affected as well, also starting to cry with their mouths open.
Although Lan Zhi was young and terrified, she still trembled as she touched Lian Yi's breath. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief and say:
"Grandma, the Crown Princess is still alive!"
As soon as she spoke, Lian-yi feigned being awakened by the child's cries and slowly opened her eyes, saying in a weak voice:
"Child"
At first, the two of them couldn't hear clearly because of the cries of three children. In the end, it was Lanchi who pressed her ear to Lianyi's lips, and only then did she hear what she was saying. She immediately burst into tears:
"Don't worry, Your Highness, all three children are well and safe!"
When the prince rushed back to the East Palace with his men and saw corpses strewn about the ground, his heart clenched. The number of attackers who had stormed the palace far exceeded his expectations. He immediately quickened his pace towards his bedroom.
Halfway there, he heard the cries of a baby, and his heart became even more agitated. He almost ran into the bedroom, and then saw the eunuch in charge lying dead at the entrance of the bedroom, with blood all over the floor.
Lan Zhi and Sun Mama heard the footsteps, both of them trembling as they picked up a knife each from the ground, blocking in front of Lian Yi and the child, ready to fight to the death to protect the Crown Princess and the child.
When they saw that it was the Crown Prince leading the charge, the two of them dropped their weapons and fell to their knees, sobbing:
"Your Highness, you're finally here. The Crown Princess has been seriously injured while protecting the child. Please save the Crown Princess!"
When the Crown Prince saw the ripples and three children behind the two people, he finally let out a breath of relief. At least his children were fine, but his Crown Princess was really too embarrassed.
"You two take the children outside first."
"Hua Ling, you immediately bring people to clean up the bodies here and have the maids come in to sweep the place. Call for the imperial physician at once."
The prince gave his orders in a calm and collected manner.
After saying this, the prince knelt on one knee and gently embraced Lianyi in his arms, solemnly saying:
"Ripples, the children are fine, you did a great job! You can't be hurt either." he still stepped forward and bowed."Senior Lu Yao, please follow me to the Ziyundian Palace. All the uncles and aunts are waiting for you."Thank you!The ripples followed Wuyou to the main hall of Ziy...
