"Father! I heard that Jie Chen's people are plotting a rebellion, wanting to force their way into the palace; I brought men to protect you!"
The Sixth Prince held his sword high as he charged up the steps.
He looked around, and finally began to have some doubts.
Why is there nobody here?
The Sixth Prince looked towards the tightly shut doors.
"Jie Chen, you scoundrel, not only did you hold Father and Mother hostage, you even dared to take away my wife Pan Chu. I advise you to surrender now; otherwise, don't blame me for disregarding brotherly love."
Behind the screen, Xiang Ying watched the Sixth Prince speak with a fierce momentum, and everyone was stunned.
Oh Lao Liu! You've really been played!
Xiang Ying finally understood.
The Empress and others had released false news that the people left by Jie Chen had taken the Emperor hostage, ready to force their way into power.
They also took Lu Pancu hostage.
