“Very good; immediately annihilate the rebels.” King Kang waved his hand.
At this moment, the imperial guards that Sun Qingfeng had brought out suddenly switched sides and joined the crowd in killing the people brought by the Marquis of Ding’an.
“You…” Sun Qingfeng was about to question his guards, but before he could say anything, someone stabbed him.
“Son!” Marquis Ding’an shouted in shock. He quickly raised his sword and joined the battle.
However, with the enemy outnumbered, the Marquis of Ding’an’s men were quickly killed. In the end, the Marquis of Ding’ was also killed by a barrage of five people.
When the son of the Marquis of Ding’an arrived with about 10,000 people, he saw this and shouted angrily, leading his men to rush in.
King Kang, the Seventh Prince, and the others could only counterattack with all their might.
The rebels were quickly suppressed.
Just as they were about to flee, Zhou Huaiming and Yan Zhiwu brought 50,000 soldiers and quickly rushed over. While protecting the Emperor, they began to kill the people from the Marquis Ding’an’s Residence.
King Kang and Seventh Su knew that this was bad. It turned out that the Emperor still had a backup plan, and it came from King Rui’s forces. It also meant the Emperor did not believe them.
Then, the two of them looked at each other and quickly retreated to the side.
The war ended quickly.
The Emperor saw this and shouted, “Rui, open the city gates.”
“Yes, Imperial Father.” King Rui responded and took off the mask on his face.
When King Kang saw this, he was shocked.
He suddenly thought of the news he had received earlier. It seemed that he and his eldest brother had fallen for the Emperor’s tricks.
That’s right. Otherwise, with the Seventh Prince’s forces, how could he have the leeway to save the Emperor after defending himself?
No, he could not let the Emperor return to the palace, and he could not let King Rui succeed. Otherwise, he and the Su family would have no way out.
Seventh Su’s expression was even uglier than his. He gave King Kang a look.
King Kang nodded and gathered his men to cover him as they quietly ran toward the side door of the Imperial Palace.
“Yan Zhiwu, attack the city gate with me. Zhou Huaiming, cleaned up the battlefield and raided Marquis Ding’an’s Residence.” King Rui stepped forward and ordered.
“Yes.” The two of them responded and quickly separated. Yan Zhiwu led his men behind him and rushed toward the palace gate.
“Cough.” At this moment, the Emperor started coughing violently and coughing up blood. It made people’s hair stand on end.
The Empress Dowager quickly went forward to support him. “Son, what’s wrong? How can it be so serious?”
The Emperor shook his head. “Mother, I’m fine. I feel better after coughing up that lodge of blood.”
“This damned Empress, after returning to the palace, I will personally flay her!” The Empress Dowager cursed.
King Kang clenched his fists when he heard that. He was silently cheering for the Empress at this point.
Even if he couldn’t get rid of his third brother, he had to kill the Emperor first. Otherwise, he would have no chance of ascending the throne.
At this moment, the Empress had already fainted when she saw that everyone from the Marquis of Ding’an Residence was dead.
King Rui had also arrived at the palace gate. He shouted directly, “The people inside, listen up! Surrender now, and I’ll release you without charge. Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!”
As soon as he declared this, there were quite a number of people who were moved. After all, the Marquis of Ding’an and King Hui clearly no longer had a chance, and there was no need for them to stick with losers.
“Will you really let us go?” someone asked immediately.
“A gentleman keeps his word, but your job will be gone.”
Of course, King Rui’s shout also woke the Empress up.. She immediately screeched, “Don’t be stupid! Rebellion is a great crime that will result in all nine generations’ execution! He won’t let you go!”
