The three of them talked in the room for a while, and soon, King Nan Huai came out. Behind him, Shangqiu put a sword on King Liang's neck and forced the guards to retreat.
King Liang seemed very panicked. He fanned his hands vigorously and said to the guards: "Back off, back off!"
The guards retreated step by step. The Great Jin guards walked in front and angrily scolded Prince Nan Huai, "Prince Nan Huai, you kidnapped His Highness. Are you planning a rebellion?"
Nan Huai Wang sneered, "It's not that I want to rebel, I want to enter the palace."
Shangqiu pressed his sword against King Liang's neck and shouted, "Everyone, get out of my way."
King Liang only felt a slight pain in his neck and couldn't help cursing, "This charlatan didn't know how to control his strength."
The guards retreated all the way to the door, and the guards of the palace counterattacked and confronted the people of King Liang. It was inevitable that they were a little excited in their words. The guards of King Liang were all proud and arrogant. How could they bear the insults? They immediately started fighting with the guards of the palace.
Shangqiu saw that the situation was beginning to get out of control and became furious: "Everyone retreat, everyone retreat."
He lowered his voice and said to King Liang: "Your Highness, you have to let your people withdraw, otherwise how can we get out?"
King Liang yelled, "You bunch of rubbish, don't you care about my life?"
However, the guards were fighting so vigorously that they seemed not to have heard his order and continued fighting all the way to the door.
It was a coincidence that General Zhang arrived with his guards. When he saw Prince Liang being kidnapped, he was shocked and sent people to surround the prince's palace tightly.
He stepped forward and said to Prince Nan Huai: "Your Highness, please release His Highness first. We can discuss anything."
Prince Nan Huai knew that General Zhang was now carrying out an errand ordered by the emperor. When he saw that he had kidnapped Prince Liang, he was afraid that there would be misunderstandings, so he said, "General Zhang, I am not kidnapping Ah Xin, I just want to go to the palace to see the emperor."
When General Zhang heard him say this, he said, "Okay, Your Majesty wants to see the Emperor. I will take Your Majesty into the palace, but Your Majesty must release His Highness first."
Shangqiu let go of King Liang, and the Jin guards hurried forward to help King Liang away. When General Zhang saw that King Liang was out of danger, he raised his hand and the imperial guards came forward to capture King Nanhuai and Shangqiu.
Nan Huai Wang was startled and hurriedly explained, "General Zhang, you misunderstood."
"If there is any misunderstanding, please explain it clearly before the emperor." General Zhang said coldly.
Prince Nan Huai thought that there was no need to explain to him. He would understand everything after seeing the emperor, so he said, "Okay, then you can take me to the palace."
General Zhang walked up to King Liang and asked, "Your Highness, are you okay?"
King Liang glanced at King Nan Huai and said, "I am fine. Let's go to the palace."
The palace dinner was in full swing, with dancers dancing to the sound of stringed instruments. Although the emperor was feeling uneasy, he still wanted to create a good situation.
Zi'an and Zhuangzhuang were fascinated by the show. Tonight, the old lady came late, arriving only halfway through the meal. She said she was sick, so the emperor had to say a few words to her.
The Night King was also patrolling outside the palace. According to the emperor's instructions, he had to guard against all odds to ensure safety tonight.
When the dance was over, the ministers applauded one after another. It was wonderful, really wonderful.
At this exciting moment, General Zhang brought Prince Nan Huai to the palace. General Zhang originally planned to arrange for Prince Nan Huai to go to the inner palace to wait for the emperor to meet him in person. However, Prince Nan Huai heard the singing and dancing from afar and flew over, shouting, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something has happened."
The emperor spent the entire night trying to whitewash the situation, trying to make everyone believe that nothing unusual had occurred since he regained power.
However, King Nan Huai did not think so. He was always afraid that the emperor would remember his brotherhood with Murong Jie and would handle the matter privately. Therefore, he wanted to expose Murong Jie's conspiracy in front of everyone.
The singing and piano music stopped abruptly.
The emperor frowned slowly, his face looking terrifying.
Everyone looked at King Nan Huai, and they were all secretly surprised. Wasn't King Nan Huai ill? Why was he shouting that something was wrong at this moment
What happened
Without waiting for the emperor to ask, Prince Nan Huai knelt down with a plop and said angrily, "Your Majesty, Murong Jie wants to rebel. He secretly fled and led his troops back to the capital, and he is going to attack the imperial city tonight."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell into silence.
Zi'an was furious and stood up and said angrily, "Prince Nan Huai, what do you mean by that? You are accusing my prince of treason while he is away fighting for the country?"
Zi'an was eager to protect her husband, so even though she lost her composure, everyone thought it was forgivable because the prince personally led the army to fight for the country and the people, but was framed. As a wife, her anger was understandable.
However, in King Nan Huai's opinion, he thought Zi'an was guilty.
He ignored Zi'an and continued, "Your Majesty, it is absolutely true. Tonight, Murong Jie came to my Nan Huai Palace and attempted to imprison me. Fortunately, His Royal Highness Prince Liang saw through his plot and escaped with me. Only then was the news of his rebellion conveyed to Your Majesty. Please make a decision as soon as possible and arrest Murong Jie."
The emperor's face turned pale. "You said you saw the regent tonight?"
"It's absolutely true. If you don't believe me, you can ask King Liang." said King Nan Huai.
The emperor looked at Prince Liang, who looked bewildered, "I have never met your uncle."
When Prince Nan Huai heard this, he suddenly looked up at Prince Liang, "You..."
Suddenly a bolt of lightning struck his mind, he had fallen into the trap!
He was shocked and angry, "Murong Xin, you and Murong Jie are in collusion, you both want to usurp the throne."
Prince Liang said angrily, "Uncle, what do you mean by this? First you said that the Seventh Uncle was planning a rebellion, and now you are talking about the little prince. What on earth do you want to do?"
The emperor looked at Prince Liang, then at Prince Nan Huai, and asked General Zhang, "Mr. Zhang, what's going on?"
General Zhang stepped forward and knelt on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, I was ordered to track down the whereabouts of the crossbow. When I passed the gate of Prince Nanhui's mansion, I saw the guards fighting outside Prince Nanhuai's mansion. I immediately went to check and saw Shangqiu, the counselor beside Prince Nanhuai, coming out with a sword at His Highness' neck. When Prince Nanhuai saw me, he immediately asked to see Your Majesty."
King Nan Huai quickly glanced at Shangqiu behind him. Shangqiu also looked pale, but his expression was not confused. His eyes were moving, as if he was thinking about how to deal with the situation.
The emperor looked at Prince Liang again, "What is the situation General Zhang described? Didn't I ask you to go to Prince Nan Huai's mansion to visit him?"
The emperor felt that there was something fishy going on, but he was sure that anything involving the word "treason" would always touch his reverse scale, so his reason had not yet caught up.
"Replying to Your Majesty, I went to Prince Nanhuai's Palace with my guards. Not long after I entered, Shangqiu came back from outside. Shangqiu saluted me, and I was caught off guard. He put a sword to my neck and dragged me out. Outside, the guards of Prince Nanhuai's Palace and the people I brought with me also started fighting. While the fight was going on, General Zhang led his men to the palace. When the uncle saw General Zhang, he said he wanted to see Your Majesty. That's what happened. I still don't know what happened."
Prince Liang spoke sincerely, looking directly at the emperor with frank eyes. He did not feel guilty at all and did not look like he was lying. Moreover, as he spoke, he also looked at Prince Nan Huai and Shang Qiu in confusion, as if he was studying their purpose.
Zi'an saw this and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's such a waste that Prince Liang doesn't go to film, he has the potential to be a movie emperor.
