Chapter 557
”Chengqian, surrender…”
Fan Xian's gentle words instantly astonished the tens of thousands of people inside and outside the Royal PalaceThey felt it was absolutely absurdThe rebel army had surrounded the PalaceThere was nowhere for the people inside to escapeYet, Sir Fan junior was sha the Crown Prince to surrender
Dressed in martial attire and on his horse, the Crown Prince sucked in a cold breathHe thought to hi thicker and thicker to be able to say such a thing so naturallyIf someone unaware of the situation had heard it, they would probably think that it was Li Chengqian who had been chased as pitifully as a rabbit today and not Fan Xian
Speaking of which, it was rather reed froent of the countryHe had left behind his life of exile, abruptly entered the Palace, and almost captured the Crown Prince in one action, successfully turning the tablesHowever, in the early hours of the , the Crown Prince had luckily escaped and the army had entered the cityThey had trapped Fan Xian inside the Palace
Li Chengqian raised his face to look at his two brothers on the Palace wallsAfter sly that after the old Qin Master had spoken, it should be he who sincerely urged his elder brother to surrenderUnexpectedly, Fan Xian had stolen his words and caused his words to be stuck in his mouthFan Xian was indeed wily to an extreht side of the squareLi Chengqian unconsciously twisted his head to see the Dingzhou arateIt was slowly co closer to the central troops where he wasHe furrowed his brows as he saw the Second Prince's handsome face at the head of thousands of soldiersA faint chill rose in his heartHis second brother's thoughts were not simpleHis face was extreenda was just as sinister
The Dingzhou troops slowly stopped to the right of the rebel army and carefully maintained a polite attitude toward the rebel arqian glanced at the Second Prince and finally opened his mouthHe couldn't wait for the Second prince to speak, but he had no internal strength for supportHe had to shout to be heard by those on top of the palace wallsAlthough he still had the royal dignity that he had nurtured for over 10 years in the Eastern Palace, in comparison, he was not as valiant as when Fan Xian viciously attacked the Qin falanced at the Great Prince but didn't say anything because the Great Prince was listening intentlyEverything the Crown Prince said had been within his calculationsIt was nothing h brotherly affection and, at the sa Mountain on Fan Xian's shoulders
Although the Crown Prince knew the Great Prince would not believe that Fan Xian was the culprit who assassinated the Emperor, he still had to say itAny brotherly affection had to be built on the foundation of soic
The Great Prince's expression darkenedThe Erown up in Danzhou, and the Third Prince, as the last to be born, he, the Crown Prince, and Second Prince had grown up togetherAlthough the Crown Prince's status was venerated, the affection between the three brothers was goodBefore the Emperor showed favor to the Second Prince, the three prince's relationshi+p was fartreasured than the bloody stories of conspiracy in the history books
Everyone had thought it, but no one had dared to iine that there would eventually be a day when these three brothers would meet with swords and soldiers
The Second Prince, who had stayed silent since the Palace was surrounded, also opened his ently kicked his horse with his shoe and allowed the horse to bring hi up at the Palace walls, he began to sincerely call up to the Great Prince following the Crown Prince's words
It had to be said that the Second Prince was quite adept at capturing people's heartsHe didn't bring up thethe Great Prince surrenderHe only talked about their past affectionsUsing a depressed tone, he narrated his discontent the Great Prince help Fan XianHe faintly raised theEmperor's attitude toward the Great Prince and that it was actually not how a father should be to his son
Fan Xian glanced at the Great Prince and saw his expression was beco darker and darkerHe was not worried that the Great Prince would fall into the enemy's side because of the pressure of the situation and the Crown Prince and Second Prince's e, it always started with the person's personalityHe knew that the Great Prince's personality was like a blazing fire
He turned to look at the still yelling Second Prince and furrowed his brows slightlyHe recognized the general beside hi had been the Codou GarrisonNow, he was someone in his 50sHowever, he didn't look old at all or have the air of severity that other fahtly short and fat
Fan Xian would not underesti become a ninth-level aceYe Liuyun's favorite nephew, and themother, were both remarkable peopleTo be able to becodou Garrison at 20 was not so the word ”remarkable” could adequately covered
Fan Xian's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, but his eyes becahterThey were like a star that refused to retreat despite the illu sun

…
The Great Prince suddenly called down the rebel soldiers below the palace walls in a loud voice, ”Enough!”
The Second Prince gave a helpless s
The Great Prince said solemnly, ”Look at the current situation, yet you still rely thing it is for the sake of the throne, but don't forget there are so to attack, then attackThere is no need to learn from those fishwives and be so chatty!”
These words were said resolutely and decisively with great vigorIt left absolutely no room for the Crown Prince and Second Prince to turn around in
The Second Prince's usually gentle expression iry for some unknown reason, he roared toward the top of the Palace walls, ”Brother! Don't you forget that it is us who are brothers!”
”Brothers?” The Great Prince had been worried for days about the security of the Royal Palace, as well as ies had been depletedHis eyes were deeply sunkenHowever, this aze appear very sharp
He looked at the Crown Prince and then at the Second Prince He suddenly said in a severe voice, ”Brothers? You two aren't even willing to be sons, much less brothers!”
SilenceThese words had exposed too sThe i learned of this matter from the posthue and painHowever, the expressions of the rebel soldiers below the palace walls beca Mountain, his i ar part of the shady business of coicide to seize the throneWho wouldn't be fearful? Whose heart wouldn't be dru wildly?
The Great Prince stood between the crenels on the palace walls and furrowed his brows tightlyLooking at the Crown Prince, he sorrowfully said, ”The Dong Mountain matter was done by the Eldest PrincessI know you don't have this power, but youto depose you, you are still his sonHow could you act so immorally?”
The Crown Prince's expression was di the Great Prince to criticize hirilyAt his side, the old Qin Master furrowed his brows and waved his handThe rebel soldiers behind hian tosound of bows being drawn could be heard froetically speaking of royal secrets above and below the Palace walls and being angry at each other, no one noticed that Fan Xian had left the wallHe followed the long stone steps into the interior of the Royal Palace and walked through the e the way, Fan Xian looked around intentlyAlthough the Great Prince specialized in battlefield operations on open fields, Fan Xian realized that he was also very knowledgeable about defending a cityEverywhere was preparedTers had been taken apart near the entrance of the stone steps with rocks and heavy logs piled upIt looked like it was to deal with the attack about to happen
Beside the three palace doors, there were soely shaped rocks preparedThere was even moss on them
Fan Xian looked at it narrowed eyes and wondered if the rock gardens in the Palace had also been disroup came toward himUnder the escort of a nu eunuchs were using a cart to push ardens
The front side of the Royal Palace had three gatesUsually, only one was ever openWhen the rebel army attacked, they didn't just choose one placeFan Xian knew that the Great Prince was going to use the rocks froatesThis work had probably started long before dawn
Blocking the rebel soldiers outside the Palace and sealing the to the deathFan Xian sighed and knew that the Great Prince had already fir the way, he saw very few imperial soldiersCompared to the empty and vast Royal Palace, they seemed very sparseThere was truly little power
Fan Xian sighed againHe knew that 1,000 imperial soldiers had beengirls usually livedIt would suppress any disturbances and be the easiest place to break through
Entering Taiji Palace, he saw the worried officials, the heavy-faced Lady Ning and Yi Guipin, and restless Third PrinceFan Xian sighed for a third time in his heartHe bowed to the scholars Hu and Shu and pushed a s, the battle is about to beginDo you feel excited?”
The Third Prince was, after all, in a childAfter learning that the Royal Palace was surrounded, he had begun to feel fearfulAlthough he forcefully suppressed the expression on his face, after hearing Fan Xian's words, he couldn't help but flatten hisast the fearHe appeared very funny
Fan Xian turned and bowed to the pale-faced elanced at the disheveled ehnesses, the eer, up to the palace walls to watch the battle”
