Chapter 236 The Low Emotional Intelligence Prince Consort is Taking Shortcuts Again (20)

At night, the city was exceptionally quiet as it was under curfew. All the lights had been turned off in every household except the Yuanyang Marquis Mansion, which was brightly lit.

The huge house was surrounded by layers of Royal Guards, and there were also a bunch of archers. If you really wanted to, it wouldn't be a problem to prevent even a fly from getting in or out.

"Commander Helian? What are you trying to do in the middle of the night?" Marquis Yuanyang ran out in a hurry and went to meet him with gritted teeth.

"I am also following orders. Someone reported that you, Marquis Yuanyang, secretly stored weapons and was plotting a rebellion. The emperor ordered me to search."

"Get started!" Commander Helian didn't say much to Marquis Yuanyang and ordered his men to take action directly.

Marquis Yuanyang looked at the imperial guards entering one after another, with cold sweat dripping down his forehead. He never expected that the emperor would come to search at night, and he didn't know whether the weapons that had just been transferred from the secret room would be discovered.

If discovered...

A ruthless look flashed in Yuanyang Hou's eyes.

If we were discovered, there would probably be a fierce battle today.

"Sir, I found a secret room in the study."

"Investigate." Commander Helian said calmly.

"Wait!" Marquis Yuanyang interrupted, no longer sounding flattering.

"Take action!" Marquis Yuanyang gave an order, and dozens of assassins suddenly appeared around him.

Even though they were caught off guard by the Royal Guards' search today, he had been planning for so many years after all, it was impossible for him to be completely without any means.

Soon, the assassins and the imperial guards started fighting, and Marquis Yuanyang took advantage of the chaos to hide back in the house.

"Chi Ye, come on, let's go!" Marquis Yuanyang pulled Zheng Chi and ran towards the study. There was a secret room in his study, so how could there not be a secret passage?

At this time, he no longer cared about favoring his concubines and beloved daughters. Zheng Chi was also his hope for a comeback, so he naturally would not abandon him. However, he did not have the energy for other people. He could have more women at any time, but he only had one life.

But he thought it was too simple. The door to the secret room was already heavily guarded, and they were caught red-handed.

"Marquis Yuanyang, do you want to leave?" The deputy commander stood at the door with a smile on his face, calling him Marquis but his eyes were full of disdain.

"Capture them." The deputy commander waved his hand, and soon Yuanyang Hou and the other man were captured.

"Why do you arrest people directly? Where is the emperor? I want to see the emperor!"

Marquis Yuanyang was so angry that he started to curse loudly, but Zheng Chi remained quiet and did not show any reaction.

The two were forced to walk outside. Outside, besides the Imperial Guards, there was blood all over the ground, corpses and body parts. The smell of blood was overwhelming, making Marquis Yuanyang turn pale with fear.

"Commander, all the dead soldiers have been cleared out."

Upon hearing this, Marquis Yuanyang collapsed all over.

It's over, it's over.

His dream of becoming emperor was completely over.

Zheng Chi's expression did not change. He had made a mistake tonight, but his men were not exposed. He believed that he would be rescued soon.

Zheng Chi also glanced at Marquis Yuanyang. By then, he would be of no use as a father.

But while Zheng Chi was still thinking about the future, his men had already been surrounded by Zhou Song and his men.

Zheng Chiye's private power was developed and expanded by the people left behind by his mother. How could Zhou Song, as his uncle, not notice this?

Zhou Song felt a little uncomfortable when he saw these people being captured.

Originally, these people were left by my father to my sister, and later my sister left them to my nephew.

As an uncle, he shouldn't have cut off his nephew's retreat, but his Zhou family has been loyal to the emperor and patriotic for generations, so how could he just stand by and watch?
