Heaven Scheme Palace

Imperial City, Imperial City.

Ever since the Emperor was critically ill, Pei Sheng had brought thirty thousand soldiers to guard the various palaces of the imperial city and closely guarded the Hall of the Heavens. No one was allowed to barge into the Hall of the Heavens without permission from the Emperor, and those who disobeyed his orders were executed without mercy.

Pei Sheng had been guarding the Imperial City for five whole days, and during this period, anyone who acted rashly would be dragged down and killed, regardless of whether they were big or small officials, Pei Sheng's iron fist caused the entire empire to be panic-stricken, some people even spread rumors that Pei Sheng was holding onto the authority of the Imperial City and was planning to rebel. These words did not cause much disturbance among the people. The people naturally did not believe that the war god in their hearts would try to rebel. The people did not cause much trouble.

The Emperor had not been in court for six days, and the ministers who were unaware of the Emperor's illness were extremely anxious, especially since the Crown Prince was not there yet. They could not just sit by and watch Pei Sheng control the imperial city, and in the end, watch the throne fall into the hands of the Prince Zan while they did nothing.

Lv Zhong Tian called for Lv Wen Hao to quickly return, but his return was not seen. In the end, Lv Zhong Tian was unable to hold back and secretly summoned the Zhennan King Jiang Zongyuan to guard outside the imperial city with his troops. The Prince Yu's Mansion secretly sent over a thousand Death Soldier s to ambush him outside the imperial city.

At the same time, Lv Wen Hao also rushed back to the imperial city. He did not have the time to discuss matters with Lv Zhong Tian before he directly entered the imperial city.

At this time, the imperial city was ten times more guarded than before, and there were patrolling guards everywhere. The imperial guards were especially scouting out those who had entered the Hall of the Heavens.

"Lord Lu, without your permission, no one is allowed to enter the Sacred Heavenly Palace." At the entrance of the palace outside the Sacred Heavenly Palace, a guard stopped Lv Wen Hao and his sister.

"What, it's Pei Sheng's turn to speak?" Lv Wen Hao's gaze turned heavy and his voice became even colder.

"This subordinate is only following orders, I hope that sire will not make things difficult for me." The guards still refused to back down.

When Yao Dan Qing, who had followed Lv Wen Hao into the palace, saw the tightly guarded Hall of the Heavens, he clearly felt the calm before the storm. The Emperor was critically ill, so Pei Sheng sealed the imperial city.

"Danqing?" Everyone turned to look, only to see a purple robed Xuan Yuan Jing walking over with big steps. There was some doubt in his eyes, "You've returned so quickly from Qingzhou?"

As Yao Dan Qing looked at Xuan Yuan Jing, she remembered that it was his father who had cruelly killed over a hundred Yao Family s. A touch of indifference and alienation burst forth in his eyes, and a faint hatred emerged in the depths of his eyes.

"Emperor has urgently summoned the Prince. It's better not to delay the time." Eunuch Li Yun reminded.

Yao Dan Qing spoke out, "Your Highness, can you bring me into the palace? I want to meet Emperor. "

Hearing that, Prince Zan turned his gaze towards Lv Wen Hao, who was at the side, and faintly guessed something. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Follow me in."

"But …" When the guard heard this, he wanted to stop him immediately.

"This is Madame from the General Pei, Yao Dan Qing." Xuan Yuan Jing mentioned her identity, then the guards realized what was going on and no longer dared to stop her.

Lv Wen Hao said: "Go, I'll wait for you here."

Yao Dan Qing nodded and followed him into the palace.

Entering the Hall of the Heavens, he saw that the door to Emperor's palace was closed, and under the lights of Sisha Palace, there were still many layers of guards. The palace maids that went in and out of the palace were in a hurry, and the golden pot in their hands were filled with blood.

Xuan Yuan Jing was not in the mood to talk with Yao Dan Qing, he only entered the palace while Li Yun was in a hurry to welcome him, leaving Yao Dan Qing alone, who was on the green stone steps, to look at Pei Sheng quietly.

Finally, Pei Sheng opened his mouth and asked: "The situation is in chaos, what are you doing here?"

"Emperor will not see you."

"Then I'll just kneel."

Pei Sheng looked at the resolution on Yao Dan Qing's face and knew her personality. If she was determined, no one would be able to persuade him against it.

He raised his head and gazed into the night sky, his eyes deep and unfathomable. In the end, he said no more, and the day had finally arrived.

•

It had been an entire night since Xuan Yuan Jing entered the Emperor's chambers, yet Yao Dan Qing had knelt outside for an entire night. Pei Sheng had guarded this place for an entire night as well.

On the other hand, a movement came from outside the palace gate, as a guard hurried over, and immediately knelt down to report: "Great General! Zhennan King Jiang Zongyuan lead 10,000 elite soldiers straight into the imperial city, and along with them are Prince Chu Xuan Yuan Yu, Wei Guogong Lv Zhong Tian and a group of ministers.

Pei Sheng sneered, but in the end, he was still unable to restrain himself, "Hurry up and transfer all the palace guards into the Hall of the Heavens."

"Yes sir!" The guard left in a hurry.

Lv Wen Hao who had been standing outside the palace all night saw the large army rushing towards him, and his eyes turned cold.

"Lieutenant Lutai!" Jiang Zongyuan's body was fat, with a beard that covered half of his face, he had a rough appearance, "I heard that Emperor is critically ill, yet Pei Sheng controlled the Imperial City and controlled the Emperor, waiting for me to lead my troops into the Hall of the Heavens to save Emperor."

"You all brought your troops into the palace like this, how stupid are you?!" Lv Wen Hao emphasized his words, they were filled with anger.

"Are we just going to watch idly by the side?" Lv Zhong Tian snorted, after plotting for so many years, he could not let his efforts fail at this moment.

"Can your military power be greater than Pei Sheng's?" Lv Wen Hao asked harshly, "I know my father is anxious, but the Emperor is still alive. The Pei family controls the entire world's troops, and just the Imperial City has tens of thousands more than you, Zhennan King.

"He has troops and horses, I have courtiers!" Lv Zhong Tian waved his hand, Lv Wen Hao then looked behind him, a large half of the people in the imperial court all followed him.

Xuan Yuan Yu's face turned cold as he enunciated each word clearly: "Bringing troops into the palace is precisely to protect royal father, to prevent those who are sincere from stealing my Da Jin's mountains!" With that, he turned to the court official behind him and said: "Royal father has been sick for many days, but the palace has been hiding his illness, and now that royal father is in danger, with the throne of the emperor hanging in the air, Pei Sheng is controlling the entire imperial city, preventing anyone from going in to meet Royal father, his heart is at risk of being destroyed!"

"No matter what you say, Prince Chu is just worried about the throne. Don't worry, the Emperor has already summoned the Prince Zan into the palace, so the successor to the throne won't fall through." Pei Sheng seemed to remind him intentionally as he spoke with endless sarcasm.
