Chapter 941 Two Princes Died
"Jiang Youzhen!"
At this time, the Fourth Prince and his men had already arrived. When they really saw Jiang Youzhen, they all felt relieved.
"Your Highness!" Jiang Youzhen glanced around him. All the familiar faces were there, but the third prince was the only one missing. Could he be resting in the tent?
As for the emperor, before she left, the emperor was besieged in Chengqian Palace, so Jiang Youzhen didn't know that the emperor had passed away!
"It's great that you came back!" The Fourth Prince choked with sobs.
"Jiang Youzhen, the emperor...the emperor has passed away!" Li Dongsheng said with a sigh.
"What?" Jiang Youzhen was stunned. Shouldn't the emperor be in Chengqian Palace? How could he have passed away?
"We'll talk about this later! Chengqian Palace has been occupied by barbarians, and the one standing on the steps is Nurhe!" Qin Yandong interrupted their conversation. Is this the time to talk about this?
Jiang Youzhen was shocked again. How come only two or three days had passed and she couldn't understand the current situation?
Jiang Youzhen felt a little sad when she thought about how the emperor had treated her well before. Although he had mostly taken advantage of her, the emperor was still generous to her. She had only been in the court for less than three years, but she had already been promoted to the fifth rank.
"Listen up, people of Dayun Kingdom! Your Third Prince is in my hands. I command you to surrender immediately! Otherwise, I will kill him!"
Nurhe said as he placed a large knife on the third prince's neck.
It was only then that Jiang Youzhen saw the Third Prince, who was tied up and forced to kneel on the steps. His clothes were disheveled, and his hair covered his cheeks and eyes, making him look very embarrassed.
Recalling the arrogant and domineering appearance of the Third Prince in the past, and then seeing the person in front of him, Jiang Youzhen couldn't help but sigh that things in the world are unpredictable.
The Fourth Prince gritted his teeth. If he ignored the Third Prince's life and insisted on attacking, the chances of winning would be very high. This was their only chance to turn the tables!
"Does Lord Jiang have any good ideas?" The Fourth Prince turned to look at Jiang Youzhen.
Hmm? When Jiang Youzhen heard that the Fourth Prince had actually thrown this difficult problem at him, he immediately said, "Now that His Majesty is gone, I can only obey the Fourth Prince!"
Wanting to let her take the blame? What a dream! By then, she will sit on the throne of the emperor, and he will be despised by the world!
Li Dongsheng sighed deeply. In fact, there was no need to make a choice. Today was the best chance to turn things around.
"Nurhe! I'm not a spineless person like you! I fell into your hands today because I'm inferior to you in skills. You want to use me to threaten them? I won't be the sinner!"
The third prince, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly spoke. After he finished speaking, he suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Nurhe.
The guards around Nurhe had no time to think and immediately drew their swords and stepped forward. They heard a few "pu pu pu" sounds and the third prince was hit by five or six swords.
He vomited blood and took one last look at Jiang Youzhen and the others. He was not a sinner of the Dayun Dynasty! He would rather die than surrender! This was the last thing he could do for the Dayun Dynasty!
"Third brother!" The fourth prince was shocked. He never thought that the third brother would be so decisive!
Jiang Youzhen and the others were also shocked. They didn't expect that the third prince would be so stubborn!
"Idiots! If you kill him, what can I use to threaten them?" Nurhe was furious, but the third prince had already fallen to the ground and was powerless to recover!
"Since that's the case! Let's fight!" Nurhe said.
A new round of fighting began. Blood flowed like a river in the palace, and the water in the moat was completely dyed red. The strong smell of blood was in the air, accompanied by the deafening shouts of killing.
The Fourth Prince fought with all his might; success or failure depended on this battle! If he won, he would ascend the throne as emperor! If he lost, he would follow the Third Prince's footsteps.
However, after a while, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest as if ants were biting his heart.
He struggled to stand aside under the protection of the guards.
What's going on? He's completely powerless now!
"Your Highness, you have been poisoned!" Yuan Shang was shocked!
"It's Zhu Cheng! It must be him! Besides my subordinates, he's the only one delivering food these days!"
The Fourth Prince immediately locked onto Zhu Cheng who was fighting fiercely, but his vision was a little blurry.
Jiang Youzhen immediately noticed that something was wrong with the Fourth Prince, and she quickly returned to him. However, after seeing the Fourth Prince's condition, her heart sank. He must have been poisoned!
"Hahaha! If you are poisoned by our Northern Ming Kingdom, you will not survive tonight!" When Nurhe saw the movement from the Fourth Prince's side, he knew that the poison had taken effect, and he was immediately overjoyed!
"Zhu Cheng! How dare you betray His Highness!" Yuan Shang was extremely angry!
Zhu Cheng smiled coldly, pushed away the enemy who was fighting with him, and quickly jumped onto the stairs and stood with Nurhe and the others.
"Zhu Cheng was sent to Dayun Dynasty since he was a child. His biological parents are nobles of our Northern Ming Kingdom!" Nurhe formally introduced Zhu Cheng's origins.
Another moment! This poison can only be cured if the antidote is taken within an hour. Judging from the Fourth Prince's condition, he must have taken a large dose, and quite a while has passed.
"No wonder His Highness said the pancakes for dinner tonight tasted off! I thought it was normal for them to have a slightly sour taste since that was all we had. But it turns out Zhu Cheng poisoned them!"
Jiang Youzhen: ...She doesn’t know what to say!
Where could she get the antidote at this time? She turned around to look at the people on the stairs, then whistled with her fingers.
I saw that rows of guards in black clothes and bamboo hats had appeared on the red wall and green net. They swooped down quickly, with amazing martial arts skills, silently and like ghosts.
Some of them rushed towards Nurhe and his men, while others rushed into the battlefield to kill the enemy.
Jiang Youzhen didn't dare to release all the puppets before, but now he has no scruples.
"Don't worry, Your Highness! I will definitely capture Nurhe and find the antidote!" Jiang Youzhen said as he rushed out with a sword.
"Yuan Shang, take good care of the Fourth Prince! Let's go capture Nurhe too!"
The Fourth Prince leaned in Yuan Shang's arms. He felt his vision was blurry and his whole body was cold.
"Yuan Shang, where is my second brother?" He suddenly remembered his second brother who went to the border to fight. It seemed like he hadn't seen him for a long time. Did he return to the capital?
"Your Highness! The Second Prince hasn't been seen yet. We just saw Lord Jiang and haven't had time to ask him yet!"
"My second brother and I have been fighting for so long, but I didn't expect that he would win in the end!" The fourth prince felt that the blood in his body was about to freeze.
"Yuan Shang, I'm so cold!"
Yuan Shang immediately held the Fourth Prince in his arms. He couldn't help crying out, "Your Highness!"
"Actually, it's good that Jiang Youzhen ascended the throne..."
Noticing the Fourth Prince's hand drooping, Yuan Shang immediately cried out, "Your Highness!"
Jiang Youzhen took the time to look back and couldn't help but sigh.
The antidote will only be effective if taken within an hour. How long has it been since the Fourth Prince had dinner? The fact that he was able to hold out until now is also a result of the Fourth Prince's strong internal strength.
