Chapter 624 Five princes poisoned
The Third Prince's paranoid and mad appearance was reflected in the Second Prince's eyes. He looked solemn and sighed heavily: "Then there is nothing to say! There is absolutely no way I will give way!"
His mother, the queen mother, his wife, children, and even his brothers and sisters were all behind him. How could the Second Prince possibly give in? His expression became more determined than ever before: "Then let's fight!"
The Seventh Prince drew his sword and said, "Third Prince, Fourth Prince, our father is still here, and the Crown Prince is still here. You traitors, come at me!"
The Third Prince, the Fourth Prince, and Qi Zhinan led their soldiers to charge forward, and the two groups soon engaged in a fierce battle. The Seventh Prince, standing on the high platform, watched Qi Zhinan lead his troops to charge forward. After most of the troops had arrived, the Seventh Prince raised his token and shouted, "Surround them! Close the door and beat the dog!"
The third prince was startled. He looked back and found that a new force had poured into the palace gate. They were wearing black clothes and black cloaks, which covered their faces and blocked their way like shadows. Some of the shadows shuttled among the rebels like several dragons, killing countless enemies in a flash, and no one was invincible.
The Fourth Prince shouted angrily, "Who are they?"
The Third Prince suddenly turned around and stared at the Seventh Prince, his eyes filled with resentment, disbelief, and resentment. "Father actually left some of the Phantom Guards to you?"
The Fourth Prince's eyes widened as he blurted out, "Is it the legendary Phantom Guard who can defeat a hundred enemies alone? Is it the Phantom Guard that protects the Emperor? How could it be possible?"
The Seventh Prince said coldly, "Father stayed behind specifically to protect Mother!"
The Third Prince drew his sword and killed the enemy while angrily saying, "You all planned this!"
The troops from the camp outside the imperial city came in shouting from the palace gate again. Their force, several times greater than that of the Third and Fourth Princes, surrounded them. Li Zhong, who had been silent beside the Seventh Prince from beginning to end, finally took action. He rushed out like a whirlwind, first capturing the Fourth Prince in a flash, then subduing him with a few moves and throwing him aside. Immediately, a soldier put his sword to the Fourth Prince's neck.
The fourth prince said sadly, "Father, you really can leave everything to Mother!"
The Seventh Prince's heart moved: "Fourth Brother, don't be stubborn anymore. Your mother is still staying in the harem! And your wife and children, the Queen Mother has asked the palace servants to take good care of them!"
The Fourth Prince was stunned. He believed what the Seventh Prince said. After all, the Queen was that kind of person.
The Third Prince was also knocked to the ground by Li Zhong. Li Zhong personally held the Third Prince and disarmed him. The Second Prince immediately shouted, "Stop! The Third and Fourth Princes have been captured! His Majesty will be returning to the throne soon. Do you still want to continue rebelling?"
The Seventh Prince sternly declared, "Father has won countless victories on the border and is completely safe! If you now repent and turn back, we will grant you a lighter sentence! If you persist in your wrongdoings, don't blame us for our ruthless actions; we will execute you on the spot!"
The rebels who were already surrounded were already wavering. They wanted to capture the leader first. At this time, the third prince and the fourth prince were captured. A soldier threw his weapon on the ground, which seemed to be a signal. Then the surrounded rebels threw their weapons on the ground one after another.
The Third Prince was being held down by Li Zhong. He raised his head with all his strength, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness. "Second Brother, I knew long ago that I wouldn't be able to succeed today! But I just can't accept it!"
The second prince sighed softly.
The surrounded rebels all surrendered, but one man remained holding his sword, blood dripping from it. Qi Zhinan glared fiercely at the Second and Seventh Princes, "I have no way out! Even if my sister is already dead, His Majesty will never use me again. I will never surrender today! Come on! Even if I die here in battle today, you will never make me bow!"
Li Zhong was furious: "How dare you bring Your Majesty into this again!"
Li Zhong flew in front of Qi Zhinan in a flash, attacking him with one blow after another. Qi Zhinan, a martial arts master himself, naturally would not surrender and fought back fiercely. The two fought for a quarter of an hour. The people around them all avoided and the center of the fight was empty. In the end, Li Zhong was the better of them and stepped on Qi Zhinan with his back foot. He taunted him, "You are far worse! The one dressed in black is worthy of fighting with your Grandpa Li!"
Qi Zhinan was so angry that his face turned red, and he was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Seventh Prince said, "Take Qi Zhinan to the prison and wait for his punishment!"
"The two royal brothers will be imprisoned in the clan prison!"
The Fourth Prince remained silent, seemingly accepting his fate. The Third Prince, however, looked at the Second Prince with a hint of a smile on his face. "Second Brother, how do you feel at this moment?"
The Second Prince looked at the Third Prince in confusion: "What do you feel?"
The third prince looked at the second prince with a hint of sarcasm.
After the second prince asked this question, his expression changed. He covered his chest with his right hand, his sword fell to the ground, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood turned a strange dark green color when it fell to the ground.
The Seventh Prince was horrified and asked, "Second Brother, what's wrong with you?"
The Second Prince was about to fall, and was supported by the Seventh Prince. The Seventh Prince said anxiously, "Deputy Chief Steward Li!"
Li Zhong flew to the side of the Second Prince in a few steps. The Third Prince over there was already laughing loudly: "Second brother, there is one of my chess pieces next to you. Originally, I ordered the chess piece to bring that cup of tea to the Seventh Prince, who is with you every day. Who knew that the Seventh Prince was so lucky, and you drank the tea in one gulp! It's already an hour now, and you should have been poisoned by it! If you had listened to my advice earlier and taken the disinfection pills, you could have been cured! But now you have been poisoned, and there is no medicine to cure it. In just a few moments, you will become a cold corpse! Hahahahahahahahahaha! Second brother, I am not alone on the road to the underworld! I still have you to accompany me!"
When the Third Prince was halfway through his words, the Seventh Prince hurriedly took out a disinfectant pill from his arms and stuffed it into the Second Prince's mouth. The disinfectant pill melted in his mouth and was a good antidote. Li Zhong frowned tightly, and with his fingers on the Second Prince's pulse, he said solemnly, "This disinfectant pill can only delay the disease for another quarter of an hour at this moment! We must ask the imperial physician to take his pulse and find an antidote as soon as possible!"
The Seventh Prince said anxiously, "Then find the imperial physician quickly!"
The Third Prince was laughing crazily, "It's no use now. This is the deadly poison of the Bone-Eroding Orchid. If we can't detoxify it within an hour, we'll die! What good will it do to survive even if we save a quarter of an hour?"
Li Zhong didn't say a word. He carried the second prince on his back, used his lightness skills, and flew away.
The Seventh Prince's face was as cold as frost. He walked down the stairs and punched the Third Prince in the face. "You are not worthy to be our brother! If anything happens to Second Prince, I will kill you and make you buried with him!"
The Third Prince had already given up hope and said, "Kill me now! Come on! Kill me now!"
The Seventh Prince said angrily, "Come here! Take the Third and Fourth Princes to the Imperial Clan Prison!"
He was extremely anxious and rushed to see the second prince.
The Seventh Prince sincerely hoped that the poison could be cured by the imperial physician. He didn't want anything to happen to his Second Brother. His child was only four years old! He didn't understand why the Third Prince had become so vicious and paranoid. When Concubine Yang died, no one had tried to harm her. How could the Third Prince blame others for his mother's death?
