Your Majesty, please stop messing around.

It's late at night.

In the Yangxin Hall, it rained heavily for most of the night. It finally became lighter and stopped in the second half of the night.

There was a depressing atmosphere in the hall.

The disgusting smell of blood filled the air and wouldn't go away for a long time.

Surrounded by ruins and craters, the once glorious and luxurious palace has become a purgatory on earth.

The remaining imperial guards were cleaning up the battlefield.

Countless figures were busy cleaning up and disposing of the corpses outside the central hall of the courtyard in an orderly manner.

In the hall, Li Cunning, dressed in brocade and white robes, was still sitting in front of the soft couch. The flickering lights made his face look even paler.

He looked absently outside the hall, wondering what he was thinking, and there was a bit of worry in his brows.

"Your Highness, my subordinates have taken down all the rebels and dealt with them!"

The general in black armor stood respectfully in front of Li Cunning, reporting on the situation tonight.

"The third prince had an affair with Sun Wu, the general of the imperial army at the South Gate. He entered the palace from the south gate and tried to control the imperial army in the palace. His subordinates and others had been waiting for a long time and captured them all..."

"The garrison in the city received the news in advance and had already evacuated in accordance with His Highness's order. When the rebels broke into the military camp, they fell into our trap... There is no news from the city yet, but I think they are already in trouble... …”

"Together with many rebel ministers including the third prince, we have also captured them. The palace in the capital is safe..."

Li Cijing listened quietly to the reports of his subordinate generals, with no emotion on his face.

This result was already within his expectation.

Or perhaps it could be said that this was originally a game he had set up a long time ago. From the beginning to the end, the third prince had no chance.

Even without Situ Yan, he would have absolutely no chance of success.

"Ahem!"

Li Cunning coughed twice and looked weaker. He waved his hand: "You guys can go down first."

"yes!"

After the generals in the palace left, Li Cunning slowly raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man not far away in the room.

"Thanks a lot."

Situ Yan lowered his head and said respectfully: "It is my subordinate's duty to serve His Highness."

Li Cunning smiled and said, "Without you, I don't know how much trouble it would have caused."

"You have really worked hard these years!"

Situ Yan said in a deep voice: "Your Highness is wise. His Highness the Third Prince did not listen to dissuasion and insisted on going his own way. His subordinates have tried to dissuade him many times before, but His Highness the Third Prince remained unmoved..."

Before making the decision, Situ Yan had also tried to persuade the third prince.

However, the third prince obviously couldn't listen.

For Situ Yan, he had anticipated the ending from the beginning.

The third prince had no idea what kind of opponent he was facing.

Situ Yan didn't know how many back-ups His Highness the Crown Prince had, but he knew that His Highness the Crown Prince's people were everywhere.

From the beginning, the third prince had no chance of winning!

But he had no choice!

He could only silently follow His Highness the Third Prince, watching him step by step towards the abyss.

Until tonight…

"That is his own choice. I have given him many opportunities!"

Li Cunning's eyes were full of disappointment. He had let him go many times, but the third prince didn't cherish him.

"Your Highness..."

Situ Yan seemed to have thought of something and stopped talking.

"Tell me?" Li Cunning glanced at him.

Situ Yan was silent for a moment, and then asked: "His Royal Highness, the Third Prince... has committed a heinous crime this time. Your Highness, how do you plan to deal with him?"

Li Cunning did not speak when he heard this, but just raised his head and looked at him quietly.

Situ Yan's heart sank and he said: "The third prince tried to kill his father and brother, and he deserves death... But after all, he is your compatriot, Your Highness. If you, Your Highness, kill him, I'm afraid it will leave a bad reputation... …”

Li Cunning narrowed his eyes: "You want to plead for him?"

Situ Yan fell to his knees with a plop, sweating profusely: "I don't dare!"

Li Cunning looked at him with squinted eyes. He didn't speak for a long time and looked back.

"How to deal with him has to be decided by the father. I have no right to deal with him!"

Speaking of this, Li Cunning's heart sank.

Such a big thing happened tonight, my father's side...

Li Cunning calmed down his emotions slightly and stared at Situ Yan, who was kneeling on the ground with a pale face.

"You have been with the Third Prince these years, and he has placed great trust in you. Are you aware of all his plans?"

Situ Yan didn't know why His Highness the Crown Prince suddenly asked this, but he still nodded: "Exactly, I have informed you, Your Highness, of all the purposes and plans of His Highness the Third Prince..."

As the third prince's most trusted military adviser, Situ Yan did know most of the third prince's plans. He knew everything about tonight's plan to invade the capital to mutiny.

And this, he had already passed the plan to His Highness the Crown Prince a few days ago!

"Yeah?"

Li Cunning slowly stood up from the soft couch, dressed in brocade and white robes, looking extremely distant in the dark night.

He calmly looked at Situ Yan who was kneeling on the ground, and suddenly said: "Then, why didn't you tell Gu about Chen Bing's rebellion in the north?!"

As soon as these words came out, Situ Yan trembled all over and his eyes widened in shock.

…

Night, inside the imperial city.

There was light rain floating in the sky, pattering.

Inside and outside the brightly lit palace, rapid footsteps came and went.

In the deep alley, rows of heavily armed imperial guards were escorting the surviving rebels to the prison.

This rebellion was eventually put down. Most of the people who participated in the rebellion died, and the few remaining survivors were captured and sent to prison.

The fate that awaits them is self-evident.

Guaranteed fun for all nine tribes!

There was a heavy atmosphere in the air.

Occasionally, you can still hear the screams and wails of the escorted rebels, as well as the desperate sounds of painful cries.

The rebellion failed!

This is the end!

Among the crowd, the third prince, with disheveled hair, disheveled appearance, and absent-minded eyes, was being escorted by dozens of fully armed imperial guards to the heavenly prison!

Just behind these dozens of imperial guards, a figure followed quietly.

In the darkness, she hid her figure and approached slowly.

Approaching!

Just as dozens of imperial guards were walking through an alley in the palace, she quietly took action.

A cold light flashed in his hand, the long sword was unsheathed, and his figure turned into an afterimage, rushing straight into the crowd.

Extremely fast, like a shooting star!

In an instant, the two closest guards had their throats slit easily by this cold light before they could even react.

Died tragically on the spot!

"Is there an assassin?!"

As soon as this movement came out, it instantly aroused the vigilance of the other imperial guards.

No one expected that at this time, someone would dare to assassinate? !

Who is the purpose?

it goes without saying!

"Protect the third prince and stop the assassin!"

In an instant, the rest of the imperial guards present drew their weapons and lined up around the third prince, staring at everyone with vigilance.

The third prince, whose eyes were originally dull, seemed to be aware of the chaos present, and he raised his head slightly blankly.

assassin?

Where did the assassin come from? !

In the darkness, the black shadow that was sure to kill with one strike quickly retreated and hid in the darkness. When the imperial guards were in formation before her, she launched another sneak attack.

"call out!"

The sharp sound of sword flowers pierced the air, sweeping towards the third prince who was in the crowd.

"Stop her!"

A sharp shout sounded, and the imperial guards all stood in front of the black figure, trying to stop her.

But as soon as they met, these imperial guards felt a sharp cold wind whistling in, instantly knocking them away.

"boom!"

The black shadow held a sword and rushed into the crowd like a shooting star.

These imperial guards with extraordinary skills and strong martial arts all fell down under the impact of this black shadow without even seeing the appearance of each other clearly.

Wherever that sharp cold light reaches, no one can stop it!

"There are experts!"

The imperial guards quickly discovered something was wrong!

This assassin's martial arts skills are very high!

But by the time they reacted, it was already too late.

The imperial guards in formation were torn open in an instant. The black shadow rushed into the formation, as if strolling in a deserted place.

A cold light flashed across his hand, and no one dared to approach.

The black shadow showed no inclination to fight, and fought its way towards the third prince in the crowd.

"Stop her!!"

A sharp shout of surprise sounded.

This would definitely not allow her to rescue the third prince!

At this moment, the third prince finally came to his senses. He raised his head and looked at the person in front of him who rushed into the crowd and cut a bloody path towards him.

This, who is this?

Could it be...

Are you here to save him? !

As if realizing something, the third prince's eyes suddenly lit up.

Sure enough, he knew that they would not go back on their word!

Still, there is hope!

At this moment, the third prince, who was already in despair, seemed to have grasped the last straw, and hope was rekindled in his eyes!

"Come and save..."

The third prince tried to speak with a hoarse throat.

But before he could finish his words, he seemed to be cut off abruptly.

In his sight, he saw this dark masked figure, walking quickly towards him.

Judging from the body shape and temperament, it seems to be a woman!

But that's not important. What's important is...

The look in this woman’s eyes!

When the third prince looked into the eyes of this masked shadow, his heart suddenly trembled!

This look...

He met a pair of cold eyes filled with murderous intent.

Cold and determined!

It was so cold that the third prince shuddered in this winter, and suddenly realized something...

wrong!

This is not to save him!

But to... kill him! !

Silence? !

The third prince was startled. He suddenly thought of some terrible thought and his face turned pale again.

Do they want to silence him? !

At this moment, the third prince said in horror: "Quick, stop her, she wants to kill me!"

The sudden life and death crisis caused the third prince's instinctive desire to survive to emerge.

But at this moment, Liu Su was already approaching.

With an expressionless face, she broke through the obstruction of the Imperial Guards with one sword and one person, and forcefully reached the third prince.

Looking at the third prince in front of him, who was in a state of embarrassment and looked horrified, living up to his graceful image in the past, he was looking at him in horror, trying to retreat and escape.

But at this moment, there is no retreat!

The Imperial Guards around him had no time to save her.

Liu Su had no expression on his face and raised the sword in his hand. Her mission goal tonight is to kill the person in front of her.

Liu Su raised his sword and raised it with his hand. The cold light passed by and hit the third prince's throat.

She always kills people neatly and neatly.

"Ding!"

However, the expected scene of the third prince's head falling to the ground did not appear.

Liu Su's eyes suddenly condensed.

A thin figure appeared in front of the third prince at some point and blocked Liu Su's sword.

This was a short, skinny man, like a skinny monkey, who appeared in front of the third prince at some point. Wearing a pair of gloves made of a special material, he blocked Liu Su's sword.

The swords collided, and the thin-faced monkey seemed to have suffered a considerable impact. He suddenly took a few big steps back, his face was pale and his teeth were bared.

"What an amazing woman!"

"I almost let you ruin a big thing!"

Liu Su stared at this person coldly and frowned suddenly. This person seemed familiar.

However, Liu Su didn't waste any time and raised the sword again. Her target is the third prince, kill him first!

"Third Prince, be careful and leave quickly!"

The thin-faced monkey's expression changed. He didn't expect this woman's methods to be so straightforward.

He only wanted to kill the third prince and did not give him any chance to delay.

The third prince survived a life, and the rest of his life was suddenly catastrophic. He looked at the thin-faced monkey standing in front of him with doubts in his eyes.

However, his survival instinct made him roll and crawl back in embarrassment.

At the same time, Liu Su's sword edge had arrived.

The thin-faced monkey's face was also pale, and he gritted his teeth suddenly.

"Stop!"

The thin-faced monkey stood in front of Liu Su, waving his gloves in an attempt to stop her.

"Ding!"

There was another crisp collision sound.

The thin-faced monkey was knocked out by the huge internal force and fell heavily to the ground, vomiting blood and shaking all over.

He struggled hard to get up. When he looked down, he saw that his hands were covered in blood, and the gloves in his hands that were supposed to be invulnerable were now in pieces.

His hands were shaking, his whole body was numb from the pain, and his hands briefly lost strength.

"Too cruel!"

The thin-faced monkey's face turned pale, the opponent's martial arts was too high!

He couldn't bear it at all, and almost risked his life here.

Seeing Liu Su approaching again, the thin-faced monkey turned around, got up and ran away without any hesitation!

He has tried his best!

Who would have thought that a top expert who was at least a second-level master would appear here? !

No one told him beforehand? !

If he hadn't improved his martial arts a while ago and had such a rare pair of gloves to protect him, both hands would have been cut off just now.

If you don't run, you will die here!

The thin-faced monkey was extremely agile and disappeared into the darkness in a flash.

Although he failed to stop Liu Su, he succeeded in delaying time. When Liu Su wanted to chase the third prince again, the third prince had successfully hidden behind the imperial guard.

At the same time, bursts of rapid footsteps sounded outside the alley. Apparently the fight just now attracted the attention of the guards outside.

At the same time, several internal masters with strong auras were converging in the darkness.

If you don't leave, I'm afraid I'll have to explain it here.

Liu Su's face was ugly, obviously unwilling.

Under the original sneak attack, no one could stop her. After she killed the third prince with one blow, she retreated completely, and no one could stop her.

Unexpectedly, the thin-faced monkey suddenly appeared and disrupted her plan.

At present, the imperial guards in the palace have surrounded him, and there are many masters among them. If I'm delayed, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave tonight.

Thinking of this, Liu Su turned around completely without any hesitation.

"The assassin has escaped!"

"Catch her, don't let her escape!"

"Emergency alert... There are assassins in the palace, so be careful. Seal the palace gates and no one is allowed to get out!"

"..."
