Chapter 527: Puppet
Chapter 527: Puppet
General Mu and Prince Jing led the Imperial Guards into battle, forcing them to retreat steadily. Some even took advantage of the chaos to open the city gates.
Upon seeing that the city gates had been opened, Yu Huailin smiled and shouted, "Charge!"
Before the words were even finished, soldiers had already rushed in. Even if the Imperial Guards wanted to stop them, they couldn't, and could only watch as they charged in.
When Liuli saw that people had rushed in, she grabbed the emperor's sleeve in fear, her voice trembling: "Your Majesty, they've rushed in, what should we do? They've rushed in."
"Get out of here quickly, get out of here quickly, don't let them catch us, get out of here quickly."
After the emperor finished speaking, he hurriedly walked down from the city gate, shaking off Liuli, who had just been grabbing his sleeve.
The ministers followed behind the emperor as he descended the steps, while the prime minister strolled along leisurely, watching their fearful expressions and letting out a cold sneer.
The enchantress remained unhurried, watching the fallen glass, and couldn't help but ask, "You're not still thinking the Emperor will come to save you, are you?"
When did you become so naive? Everyone is selfish, so don't even think about the Emperor coming to find you.
"And what about you? Things have come to this point, do you think you can escape? Our fates are all the same, so let's not talk about who's who," Liuli said with a smile.
The demon queen laughed as well: "Is that so? Then we'll wait and see."
After saying that, she slowly started to walk down, while Liuli was already scared and didn't care about anything else, walking down as fast as she could.
But it was too late. The emperor and his ministers, who had just arrived earlier, had already been captured by Yu Huailin's men and forced to kneel on the ground.
Upon seeing Liuli come down, they quickly walked over, grabbed her shoulders, and forced her to kneel on the ground.
She looked up and saw the Seventh Prince and the Prime Minister standing to the side, not saying a word, and no one was controlling them.
The demon concubine slowly walked down, and seeing them like this, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. She was not being held or controlled by anyone.
Yu Huailin quickly walked over, followed by Prince Jing and General Mu.
Ignoring everyone else, Prince Jing walked directly to the Seventh Prince, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled slightly: "Well done."
The Seventh Prince smiled slightly at Prince Jing, but said nothing.
As for Yu Huailin, he nodded slightly to the Seventh Prince and the Demon Consort, his attitude was extremely good, and he was even more so towards the Prime Minister.
"Where did your previous ambition go? How do you feel now?" Yu Huailin asked casually.
As he spoke, he kicked the emperor, sending him sprawling to the ground.
Then he turned his gaze to Liuli and said condescendingly, "It seems your wish is going to be in vain. What a pity. What do you think?"
As he spoke, he kicked her again. He was furious whenever he thought about how she had dealt with Song Miqiu.
Liuli lay on the ground, looking at the unharmed Liuli and the Seventh Prince standing to the side, feeling indignant. She shouted at Yu Huailin.
"You're being unfair! Why do you have to humiliate me and the Emperor like this? And what about them? They're your enemies too. She's the Emperor's concubine, and he's the Emperor's son."
"Besides, he's a subject, they're the same as us, why are only the Emperor and I treated this way?"
The seductive concubine couldn't help but burst into laughter: "I didn't expect that you, who are in such dire straits yourself, would still have the mind to see if anyone else has been punished. Should I praise you or scold you?"
“I’m telling the truth. If they treat the Emperor like this, you will naturally suffer the same fate. Isn’t this what you should do?”
You should suffer humiliation for the Emperor, you should live and die with the Emperor.
"Indeed, indeed, it's quite remarkable. Unfortunately, you're mistaken. Young Master Yu and I are partners. As for the Seventh Prince, it was his men who just opened the city gates."
"How could Young Master Yu possibly repay kindness with enmity? Don't you agree?" the Demon Consort said with a smile.
The Emperor and Liuli were greatly surprised when they heard the Demon Consort's words.
“You unfilial sons, you bunch of unfilial sons, how could you do such a thing? Prince Jing attacked the capital with the enemy, and you even assisted him. How could I have sons like you?”
The Emperor was furious. He yelled at Prince Jing and the Seventh Prince, his eyes filled with hatred as if he wanted to kill them.
Liuli was even more confused. She asked in bewilderment, "Why, why would you do this? Didn't you want to be the emperor?"
"Didn't you already ally with me? Why are you turning around and helping them? Why?"
The Seventh Prince glanced at Liuli indifferently: "I don't want to be a puppet, so it's better to give this position to Yu Huailin, so I can be more free."
"You unfilial sons, you unfilial sons, I should have killed you back then!" the emperor shouted, still unwilling to accept defeat.
Prince Jing frowned slightly as he listened to the Emperor's words: "Enough. What right do you have to shout? Isn't it you who caused this result?"
Ask yourself honestly, were you a good emperor? You seized the throne from others, but you didn't cherish it. What have you done?
Don't you realize it yourself? Although you can't be called a tyrant, you're almost as bad as one.
The Emperor was surprised to be scolded by his own son. Just as he was about to speak, he saw that Prince Jing and the Seventh Prince were both looking at him calmly.
That look in his eyes didn't seem like the look one would give a father; it looked more like the look one would give an enemy.
But Liuli remained unconvinced, shaking her head repeatedly: "No, that's not right, she betrayed you. She didn't wholeheartedly ally with you."
She helped the sixth prince, she helped the sixth prince, she wants the sixth prince to seize the throne, don't be fooled by her, don't be fooled.
The demonic concubine looked at the somewhat deranged Liuli and sneered, "How do you know that wasn't my scheme? Fine, accept your fate."
No matter how much you say, it won't change what you've done. If you keep talking, don't blame me for being impolite.
Having watched the spectacle to his heart's content, Yu Huailin waved his hand dismissively: "Alright, take them away. Keep a close watch on them, lest others take advantage of the situation."
Let's go into the palace now; everyone inside should be on our side by now.
“That’s natural. Now is the perfect time to enter the palace; everything is about to come to an end.” Prince Jing smiled slightly.
“I can tell you’ve wanted to enter the palace for a long time. After all, your wife and children are still in the palace. Your eyes have already betrayed you, you know that?” Yu Huailin said.
Perhaps because this matter has been resolved, everyone seemed much more relaxed when they spoke.
Upon hearing his words, Prince Jing smiled slightly: "You, who have no children, would never understand. This longing to return home is something only those who have started a family and have children can comprehend."
Xiaoqi doesn't understand either. You two are both so lonely, sigh.
Before they could react, he had already vanished from the spot and was running towards the palace.
