After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he called on the team to continue moving forward, regardless of the messenger calling His Royal Highness the Crown Prince over and over again.
Ma Zhou followed the prince and said softly: "Your Highness, you used to go with Princess Danyang, and you have already made an impression in the minds of the civil and military officials of the court. If you can go alone today, you will definitely be able to make a big difference in front of the ministers.
As for Princess Danyang, she will naturally find ways to keep the prince, because only in this way will the ministers continue to pay their respects to the princess."
"You don't need to tell me this, how can I, the prince, not know about it?"
Li Chengqian said, looking back at his aunt's team, feeling angry.
"It's my aunt who is wary. Don't blame my nephew for resisting. The friendship between me and my aunt for so many years is actually not as good as that of an unknown bastard? Was my aunt really good to me in the past, or has she always been kind to me since childhood?
Do you care about my title as prince? What does it matter what other people think? If my aunt treats me sincerely, what will happen if I always pretend to be an innocent child?"
Thinking about it, Li Chengqian shook his head and lowered the curtain.
But Li Chengqian did not remain stable for long, and soon someone else came from behind, saying the same thing, asking the prince to stop immediately, as there was still something very important.
Li Chengqian was a little bored and ignored it at all. If the horse was not allowed to gallop in the imperial city, he asked someone to speed up.
The person who sent the message saw that there was nothing he could do, so he had to turn back.
Li Chengqian snorted disdainfully: "Do you really think that this prince is an obedient child?"
"Today, no one can stop this prince."
Li Chengqian looked ahead and could already see the tall tower of Qintian Prison. It only took half a quarter of an hour to arrive at the venue.
At this moment, another voice came from outside: "Prince..."
"I told you not to send any more messages!"
Li Chengqian got angry and roared when he opened the car curtain.
But when he saw the people outside, he was stunned.
"Aunt...aunt..."
Li Chengqian didn't expect that the person outside was actually Princess Danyang!
In the meantime, Princess Danyang was holding the bed curtain and panting. Even if the carriage was moving slowly, a woman was trying her best to catch up with the carriage.
"Stop... stop it quickly!"
Princess Danyang was so anxious that she burst into tears and had no energy to say anything more.
"Stop! Stop!"
Li Chengqian finally stopped the team, got out of the car quickly, and panicked when he looked at his shaky aunt.
"Aunt...you...how did you come after me yourself?"
"Crack!"
Princess Danyang raised her hand and slapped her in front of everyone.
Everyone is confused!
This is the prince!
Li Chengqian was also dumbfounded. Although Princess Danyang didn't have much strength, he still covered his face, not knowing why.
"You don't want to die? Why don't you stop?" Princess Danyang shouted with all her strength, and then fell softly towards Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian subconsciously hugged his aunt, not knowing how to answer.
Princess Danyang seemed anxious. She took a breath and hurriedly said: "Go back to the East Palace! Go back quickly!"
"Why? Today, my father personally told me to attend the Alchemy Conference. The civil and military capital of the Manchu Dynasty..."
"A trap, this is... this is a trap!"
"What? A trap?"
"I don't have time to explain to you, go back quickly!"
"Auntie, if you don't speak clearly, how can I go back?"
"Cough!" Ma Zhou coughed heavily and said nothing, but the reminder was very obvious.
Li Chengqian was not a child. After calming down for a while, he started thinking about it, wondering if this could be a trick of his aunt?
"Do you have to know?" Princess Danyang asked.
"Auntie, please speak clearly."
"Today, twenty-four divine cannons have been deployed throughout the imperial city. Your Majesty, using the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and you, the Crown Prince, as bait, wants to lure the remnants of the rebels here and then capture them all in one fell swoop."
"What?" Li Chengqian was surprised.
"Nowhere in the imperial city is safe today. Only by retreating to the East Palace and staying behind closed doors can we be safe!"
"Aunt... you... how do you know?"
"What happened today was planned jointly by my aunt and your father, how could you not know? This is a grudge from the previous generation, and my aunt doesn't want you to be involved in it!"
There was suddenly too much news, and Li Chengqian couldn't understand it.
Seeing that Li Chengqian was unmoved, Princess Danyang simply said directly: "Li Jiancheng's son came to Beijing to assassinate the emperor. He has many masters around him. In order to avoid future troubles, today's Alchemy Conference is held!"
"Li...Li Jiancheng..." Li Chengqian's mind buzzed, and he suddenly understood something, "My aunt had seen that the person named Li was a remnant of Li Jiancheng?"
"Of course! The remnants of the rebels are so powerful that they have formed a force and call themselves the New Tang Dynasty. I was afraid that the prince and the emperor would make mistakes, so I stepped forward to stabilize the rebels. The emperor has been planning for a long time, and today, the remnants of the rebels gathered around twenty Jianghu people.
Wait for a master, there will be a fight to the death in the imperial city today. If you don't go back, are you seeking death?"
"I……"
"Your Highness, your words are too bizarre, aren't they?" Ma Zhougou was so bold that he dared to listen to these words.
Princess Danyang glared at him fiercely, with a trace of killing intent flashing in her eyes.
Ma Zhou said: "This is the Chang'an Imperial City! Chang'an City has been peaceful for more than ten years, how can there be rebels?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a ray of sword light flashed past behind Li Chengqian and penetrated the carriage he was riding in.
Zhenqi exploded, the carriage exploded, sawdust flew, and the horses neighed.
Li Chengqian was staggered by the air waves, and his ears kept ringing.
The guard in front shouted: "Protect His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Li Chengqian's legs were weak. When he turned around, he saw a green-faced swordsman walking slowly with both long and short swords in hand, his eyes locked on Li Chengqian like a dead silence.
Several guards came forward, but the other party was completely motionless. They only relied on the invisible energy dispersed to kill the guards in front of them.
"The prince takes the princess and leaves first!"
A man came from behind with a sword and blocked the swordsman.
Li Chengqian saw that this man was actually his aunt's coachman.
This little-known coachman appeared at this moment, and his whole body's true energy exploded, filled with blue light, like a mountain torrent.
Li Chengqian was just seeing his shock, but unexpectedly, before he even made a move, the arm holding the sword was cut off by the swordsman.
"Your Highness, leave quickly!"
The coachman gritted his teeth and persisted, turning around and shouting hoarsely.
Li Chengqian was stunned and saw that the princess in his arms had already stood up and pulled Li Chengqian: "Quickly, this is Qingyi, the best master of Yin Yang Sword in the south of the Yangtze River. My people can only hold her back for a moment."
Only then did Li Chengqian react, and he quickly hugged his aunt and ran toward the East Palace.
Li Chengqian did not dare to look back. He only heard screams coming from behind, and the guards in the imperial city poured into the battle like a tide.
But even after running more than ten meters, Li Chengqian still saw several broken arms flying over his head.
"Why? Why is this happening?"
Li Chengqian was so frightened that he was trembling as he spoke. He couldn't believe that someone would go on a killing spree in the imperial city.
