Chapter 872: Hostage, so what
Chapter 872: Hostage, so what
The palace guards beside the seventh prince had been on guard for a long time. The moment the Crown Prince rushed forward, they drew their knives to meet him, but they were fast, and the two behind the Crown Prince were even faster.
“Your Highness must not be harmed.” The two behind the prince raised their knives and stepped forward to block the attack of the palace guards for the Crown Prince, and easily blocked them.
“Seventh brother, take a walk with me obediently, I will not hurt you.” The Crown Prince tried his best to control his temper but was dodged by the seventh prince. However, before the seventh prince had time to catch his breath, the Crown Prince rushed over again. The figure avoided, and said loudly: “Brother Crown Prince, calm down, don’t be used by others.”
“Use? This prince has been used by you, mother and son all his life, so what if others use me?” Several times, the Crown Prince was very angry and lost his mind. At this time, he couldn’t imagine how terrible he was. He only knew that the seventh prince was avoiding him, and dodging means that the Seventh Prince has a guilty conscience.
The guards of the Seventh Prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief seeing that the Seventh Prince was not in danger for the time being. This was the palace, and the other palace guards will come over soon. Even if the palace guards can’t come, the Empress will send someone to save the Seventh Highness when she gets the news. They only need to compromise.
Just as the two guards thought, the patrolling guards heard the sound of fighting and quickly found them. Seeing this, the palace guards of the Seventh Prince shouted: “They want to assassinate the Seventh Prince, quickly, take them down.”
“Yes, my lord.” The patrolling guards saw the distressed seventh prince who was being chased by the Crown Prince and immediately stepped forward to help, trying to take down the Crown Prince and help the seventh prince out of trouble, but just as they stepped forward, they were stopped by two people brought by the Crown Prince up.
The two of them fought against the Seventh Prince’s guards several times. Although they didn’t see any signs of failure, they didn’t know how powerful they were. The Seventh Prince’s guards thought that these two were just ordinary guards, but they didn’t want dozens of patrolling guards to rush forward. Being able to stop them easily shows that these two people are not ordinary people.
“Who are you?” The Seventh Prince’s guard couldn’t help asking.
The two of them didn’t even think about it, so they responded, “We are naturally His Highness’s people.”
“Impossible, you are not the Crown Prince’s people.” The people who can protect the seventh prince must be the Empress’s confidants, and they know more than others.
If the Crown Prince has such a master by his side, he will not fall into prison and be bullied by others.
“You underestimate Your Highness too much, do you think that His Highness has no defense at all?” The two were not afraid of bringing hatred to the Crown Prince at all, and easily gave the Crown Prince a reputation of “competence”. When the insane Crown Prince heard this, he recognized it without hesitation: “You guys underestimate this prince, do you think that this prince has no defense at all?”
While the Crown Prince was speaking, he rushed towards the seventh prince again, this time the Crown Prince was so lucky that he grabbed the hem of the seventh prince’s clothes: “Hahaha, let’s see where you are going this time.”
“Brother Crown Prince, you, you… let go, you, listen to me…” The seventh prince was chased by a lunatic for a long time, and he was already out of breath. Although he struggled hard, he couldn’t break free from the prince’s grip.
One force down to ten meetings, no matter how clever the Seventh Prince was, he can’t win against the crazy Crown Prince.
“Your Highness Seventh, be careful.” Seeing that the seventh prince was caught by the Crown Prince, the guards were angry and anxious and wanted to rush to save him, but they were repeatedly blocked by them.
“You two had better pray that His Royal Highness the Seventh Highness is fine, otherwise the Empress will destroy your nine clans.” The guards couldn’t save anyone, so they could only speak harshly.
“We’ll wait.” The two replied indifferently. Seeing that the Seventh Prince had been taken down by the Crown Prince, one of them let out the signal, retreated, and came to the Crown Prince’s side: “Your Highness since there is the Seventh Prince as the hostage, we should go to the Empress.”
“Yes, yes, it’s time to ask the Imperial Mother to understand.” The Crown Prince nodded again and again, and he went crazy with great strength and walked forward with the seventh prince.
“Let go of His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince.” The guards of the Seventh Prince rushed up like crazy, but were easily stopped by another person: “You guys had better not catch up, or you would hurt the Seventh Prince, and it would be a shame.”
“You…” The Seventh Prince’s guards and patrolling guards did not dare to step forward, they could only grit their teeth and watch.
“Hahaha…” The Crown Prince laughed triumphantly when he saw that the guards were afraid to step forward.
The seventh prince who was held by the Crown Prince was ashamed and angry. His deep eyes were not like a seven-year-old child’s at all, he stared at the person escorting the Crown Prince, and suddenly said: “I have seen you, you are Imperial Uncle Xiao’s people.”
The person who escorted the prince was startled, but he didn’t show anything on his face, and the Crown Prince seemed not to hear, and continued to move forward, but the seventh prince didn’t give up, and said: “Brother Crown Prince, I have seen this person, he belongs to Imperial Uncle Xiao, you have been used by Imperial Uncle Xiao.”
The body of the person escorting the prince was tense, but he didn’t rush to explain. The Crown Prince also laughed, as if he didn’t care at all.
“Brother Prince, I didn’t lie to you. They are Imperial Uncle Xiao’s people. Don’t be fooled by them.” The Seventh Prince said eagerly, looking very worried about the Crown Prince, but he didn’t expect the Crown Prince to reply indifferently: “So what?”
The Seventh Prince panicked and hurriedly said: “Brother Crown Prince, Imperial Uncle Xiao is using you to provoke the relationship between us brothers. Don’t fall for Imperial Uncle Xiao’s tricks.”
The Crown Prince laughed mockingly: “Do we still have feelings between my brothers? Seventh brother… I know they are not mine. I know they let me out on purpose, and I also know they purposely lured me to you, but what does it matter? I only have one thought in the palace prison, and that is to see you and Imperial Mother and ask why she treats me like this. Imperial Uncle Xiao gave me this opportunity, so what if he uses me? If I am so useless, will Imperial Uncle Xiao help me?”
The Crown Prince still looked mad, but what he said made people dare not treat him as a lunatic, at least not the person who escorted the Crown Prince.
Children who grow up in the palace were smarter than ordinary people no matter how stupid they looked outside.
“Brother Crown Prince…” When the Crown Prince reached this point, the Seventh Prince had no choice but to let the Crown Prince carry him to Luanfeng Palace.
On the way, there were palace guards who wanted to rescue the seventh prince, but the Crown Prince put a knife on the neck of the seventh prince, and the palace guards didn’t dare to go forward, for fear that the Crown Prince would kill the seventh prince by mistake.
With the Seventh Prince as a hostage, the Crown Prince came to Luanfeng Hall smoothly.
The Empress had received the news a long time ago. For the safety of the seventh prince, the Empress did not rush out, although she was worried. Instead, she waited in the Luanfeng Hall for the Crown Prince to come to her door.
The moment she learned that the Seventh Prince was captured by the Crown Prince, the Empress knew that it was not an easy matter. It was probably Xiao Tianyao’s handwriting, but so what?
Her son was in the hands of a lunatic, even if she knows that Xiao Tianyao has schemes, she doesn’t have the energy to control what Xiao Tianyao was going to do, the most urgent thing was to rescue her son.
To prevent the Crown Prince from taking the seventh prince to threaten her, the Empress did not rush to find the Crown Prince but waited calmly in the Luanfeng Palace for the Crown Prince to come…
