When the first cannon sounded, the East Palace suddenly became a mess.

The prince woke up from the bed and asked loudly, "What's going on? Somewhere is the sound of cannons coming."

"Your Highness, we don't know either. The sound just started."

The palace maids serving in the bedroom said coquettishly that since Xiao Wenxuan was bedridden, the prince had acted recklessly, and the few beautiful palace maids in the palace were plundered to the East Palace to serve in the East Palace.

These days he has realized the scruples of being an emperor. Because of this, he has become more and more obsessed with the supreme power. As long as he can ascend the throne to the emperor, no one in the world will be able to bind him from now on.

This country will be trampled by him, and the wealth and beauty of the world will be captured by him. He will live an unscrupulous life and no longer have to worry about being scolded by Xiao Wenxuan.

But at the same time, he became more and more afraid of losing all this. He was scared from his dream several times by this fear these days.

Pushing away the bed with bare body, the prince ran out in disheveled clothes. Although he was incompetent, he knew that something big had definitely happened when the cannon sounded.

As soon as he rushed out of the door, Wang Xi hurried over and panicked when he saw the prince Wang Xi: "Your Highness, the big thing is wrong, the firearm camp has rebelled!"

"What!" The prince was shocked when he heard this, "Where is Yang Zhen? Why didn't he notice it in advance!"

Wang Xi said hatefully: "Your Highness, Yang Zhen, a member of Lijing Sect, has not returned for two days and two nights. Now no one knows where he has gone. Your Highness, the old slave said at the beginning not to believe Yang Zhen and Du Heng. These two are indeed treacherous."

This news made the prince's heart violent, and the anger of being betrayed made him want to kill Yang Zhen and Du Heng now, but now he understands that it is not the time to care about these things.

He said: "Now you will notify the Right Wu Guard immediately to quell the rebellion and let the city defense camp close the city gate and not allow anyone to enter or exit. The city gate can only be opened as long as the King of Zhao's troops arrive."

"Yes, Your Highness." Wang Xi walked out after hearing this.

After giving the order, the prince was still worried. He called his personal guards to order the guards of the outer palace to close the palace gate immediately and not allow anyone to enter the palace. However, the personal guards' words made him shocked.

"Du Heng has entered the palace!" The prince said furiously: "Kill him immediately."

At this time, Du Heng, who arrived at the palace in Princess Pingyang in the morning, had already entered the inner palace. He knew very well that after he surrendered to the prince, he was no longer worthy of trust.

Princess Pingyang took him in overnight because she was prepared for him.

It’s just that unlike Yang Zhen’s betrayal, he pretended to surrender to the prince and did act on orders, and now he will prove his innocence with his actions.

"General Du, you came very early." Zhao Yujie yawned and led his men to guard the door all night.

Du Heng smiled and walked to Zhao Yujie as usual to prepare for the handover. Just when Zhao Yujie was not ready, he suddenly drew his sword and slashed towards Zhao Yujie's throat.

Blood spurted out like a fountain, and the hundred guards at the door were shocked.

A soldier came back to his senses and shouted, "Du Heng rebelled and killed without mercy."

The guards reacted and rushed towards Du Heng immediately. At this moment, a "whizz" sound rang out, and hundreds of sharp arrows shot towards the guards at the door.

With a scream, the guards outside the Bishui Pavilion fell halfway, and the remaining guards looked at the arrows, and saw the guards in the inner palace wearing black armor rushing from all directions, like steel torrents.

"The prince plots to rebel and kills the monarch, and the emperor has an order. Anyone who is a prince with the party will be killed," Du Heng said loudly.

The remaining guards in front of Bishui Pavilion suddenly woke up. They understood that Du Heng had never been loyal to the prince.

They looked at each other, and did not surrender, nor did they face the enemy, but turned around and rushed towards Bishui Pavilion. They also had secret orders on their bodies. If there was an accident, they immediately killed everyone in Bishui Pavilion.

"Kill!" The rebellious guard shouted and rushed towards the Bishui Pavilion.

The sudden sound alarmed the palace maids in the Bishui Pavilion. Seeing more than fifty imperial guards rushing towards them with machetes, the palace maids' faces turned pale.

Liuli stood in front of thirty palace maids at this time, and her body trembled in the face of these guards. After all, she was just a woman. How could she not be afraid of such a scene now?

But behind her was Concubine Zhen and the Emperor. Just as the rebel secret guards rushed to them, Liuli suddenly shouted in a crisp voice: "Shoot."

After saying that, she suddenly took out a short-barrel musket from her sleeve, and with a "bang", the guard who was in front fell down.

The other palace maids also raised their muskets tremblingly. In order to survive, they overcame their fear of muskets and pointed the trigger at the rushing guards.

"Bang bang..." A continuous sound rang out, and the rebellious guards fell halfway.

The remaining guards were shocked when they saw this and couldn't help but hesitate. At this moment, Du Heng and his people arrived, and the two sides immediately started fighting.

Relying on his strong martial arts and numerous people, Du Heng quickly killed the rebel guards.

At this time, Du Heng looked at Liuli, who was still holding a short musket and refused to put it down, and said, "Miss Liuli, I am here to protect the emperor."

When the prince broke into Bishui Pavilion that day, Liuli knew that this time was in danger. As Zhenfei's confidant, Liuli and Li San naturally had many contacts outside the palace.

When King Qi brought gifts to Concubine Zhen, Li San sent a box of muskets to the palace and told her not to use them until the critical moment.

Now that Concubine Zhen and the emperor's lives are at stake, she can only take out a musket and teach the palace maids how to use it.

"You have defected to the prince, you are lying!" Liuli rebuked.

Du Heng smiled bitterly. Now he can't wash it even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

"Liuli, let him come in." Suddenly, Zhenfei's voice sounded. At the door of the inner hall, Zhenfei helped Xiao Wenxuan and walked out, "If he wants to kill us, he doesn't need to destroy so many Zhou Zhang."

"Emperor." When Du Heng saw Xiao Wenxuan, he looked excited.

The sound of cannons outside the city seemed to be getting closer and closer to the palace. At this time, Xiao Wenxuan said: "It seems that Luo Quan already knows what happened in the palace. I am really blind. I believe in the slander of the treacherous and unwilling to my loyal ministers."

"The emperor, not only General Luo, but also His Highness of the King of Qi, are also in the city. They are preparing to rescue the emperor and Concubine Zhen." Du Heng said: "According to the time of discussion, they will arrive in less than half an hour."
