The paranoid prince is crazy, but I have been quietly reborn

When Chu Yu gave an order, Bai Hu immediately handed over his hands and agreed.

Under the snowy night, Chu Yu felt that the warm cloak was too obstructive, so he simply took it off and threw it aside.

After a while, Chu Yu and Bai Hu walked separately in the snowy night. He had to enter the palace as soon as possible to find out where Su Youning was. Only when he saw that she was safe and sound would he be at ease.

It's just that no matter how strong Chu Yu's cultivation was, he couldn't withstand the cold wind. In addition, his legs recovered not long ago, so he couldn't bear to walk so fast.

But Chu Yu didn't slow down at all, and finally came to the gate of the palace.

Facing each other from a distance, looking at the heavily guarded palace gate, Chu Yu frowned. Now the only way to enter the palace is through the palace gate handle by the imperial guards.

He turned and flew to the Lufang where the commander of the imperial army, Pang Jia, was. The emperor was seriously ill, and Pang Jia must be on duty in the Lufang.

Sure enough, before Chu Yu reached the front of the verandah, Pang Jia came out in military uniform with a sword in hand, and shouted sharply.

"The palace gate is important, who is it?"

Chu Yu raised his eyes and looked at Pang Jia with a cold tone.

"With the current situation in the palace, Commander Pang is still so leisurely."

Pang Jia saw the person's face clearly, pursed his lips slightly, and cupped his hands.

"Pang Jia sees His Royal Highness Yu Wang, what does His Royal Highness Yu Yu mean?"

Chu Yu snorted coldly, put his hands behind his back, and said sharply.

"The emperor is under house arrest by the guards of the Chu Lian Lianzhen State Mansion, but Commander Pang doesn't know? Is he colluding or pretending not to know?"

Pang Jia's face darkened, and he knelt down on one knee.

"His Royal Highness King Yu said carefully, how could such a rebellious thing happen in the palace."

Chu Yu didn't have time to explain, wishing he could fly into the palace right now.

"Speak carefully? This hall has always only known to speak bluntly but not cautiously. Let your people open the palace door, and this hall will know when you go in."

Pang Jia immediately refused.

"There is an order from the Taicheng Hall in the palace. The emperor is critically ill. No one is allowed to enter the palace without a summons."

Chu Yu shouted sharply.

"Absurd, this hall learned that the emperor was seriously ill, and rushed all the way back to Kyoto from Huizhou, and now even the emperor can't see him?"

"Is there an order from Taicheng Hall? Whose order is it? Isn't the emperor critically ill?"

Pang Jia was a little embarrassed by Chu Yu's repeated questions. He knew that the situation in the palace was different, but news came out from the Taicheng Hall this morning that the emperor was critically ill, and no one was allowed to enter the palace at will.

"Please don't embarrass your subordinates, His Royal Highness King Yu."

Chu Yu snorted coldly and shouted again.

"Embarrassing you? Pang Jia, is it possible that you really want this Southern Dynasty to change?"

Pang Jia's eyes froze, he gritted his teeth after thinking for a moment, and cupped his hands.

"This subordinate will go to open the palace gate and go with you."

Chu Yu raised his hand to stop it, and said coldly.

"No, you send someone to another palace gate. Later, His Highness Nanwang will enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother. You just need to let them go."

"This hall is only to confirm whether Princess Yu is safe, and Chu Nan has his own way to save the emperor's plan."

Pang Jia didn't ask any more questions, and after nodding, he led Chu Yu into the inner gate of the palace.

After opening the palace gate, he watched Chu Yu enter the palace without looking back, and Pang Jia gripped the sword in his hand even tighter.

The Taicheng Hall in the palace.

With hands behind his back, Chu Lian walked into the main hall slowly with four guards carrying swords.

Seeing that the emperor had grown many gray hairs in one day, Chu Lian smiled, stepped forward and bowed his hands in salute.

"Father hasn't had a good rest, and he has aged a lot after not seeing him for a day. It seems that it's time to abdicate and make way for the virtuous."

The emperor didn't speak. Not only did he not have a good rest that day, he didn't rest at all. He couldn't figure it out that Chu Lian, who used to follow the prince, would have the idea of ​​usurping the throne.

Seeing that the emperor didn't respond, Chu Lian smiled again and said.

"Father, my minister gave you a day, haven't you figured it out yet?"

The emperor raised his head slowly, his bright yellow uniform made him even more gloomy, his dull eyes dimmed again, but his tone still carried a hint of coercion.

"How can my country give you such a rebellious son who seeks power and usurps the throne?"

Chu Lian's eyes turned cold, and then he returned to normal. He found a random place in the hall and sat down, speaking contemptuously.

"Great rebellion? Seeking power to usurp the throne? Father, besides the rebellious son you call me, who else in this capital city can take on the heavy responsibility of the Southern Dynasty for you?"

There was a trace of coldness in the emperor's eyes, but he didn't speak anymore, and lowered his eyelids again.

Chu Lian knew what the emperor was thinking at this moment, so he smiled slightly.

"Your good prince, no, it's the former prince. Now he has been demoted, and he fell seriously ill when he heard that winter came. I'm afraid he won't be able to wait until the next year."

"Your most beloved Chu Yu. Hahaha. You are so stupid to ask for an order to go to Huizhou. The snowstorm in Huizhou is so severe. Do you know that the army sent by my son stayed outside the city of Huizhou, watching Chu Yu freeze? Died in the city."

"you!"

The emperor was furious, and when he heard that his son Chu Yu was killed in this way, he couldn't help standing up and pointing at Chu Lian with trembling fingers.

"Killing father and brother, what else are you afraid of?"

Chu Lian suddenly changed his face, and he stared angrily at the emperor.

"At this point, father, don't think that your minister will turn back. It's better to write down the imperial edict, so that the emperor's grandmother and all the concubines in the harem will not be burdened by you."

The emperor sighed and fell back into his chair.

"You are unworthy, unworthy of being on the throne!"

Chu Lian blushed, and he looked at the emperor with cold eyes.

"Who else is worthy if the son is not worthy? Is it the Chu Nan who has been left outside the capital for more than ten years? He is just an abandoned son who doesn't even have a mother and concubine."

"Father, if you still refuse to write down the edict tonight, the emperor's grandmother will die tomorrow."

Long before coming to Taicheng Hall, Chu Lian had a detailed discussion with Imperial Concubine Ling.

Now the capital city is terribly quiet, even though the situation in the palace is like this, there is no movement from Chu Nan.

The news that Huizhou has been spreading for several days is that the city is crying, but Chu Yu is nowhere to be seen. I don't know if he was really frozen to death or he has other plans.

All of this made Chu Lian and Imperial Concubine Ling feel uneasy.

Dongchang Wan Guiquan also urged Chu Lian to act earlier, otherwise the night would be full of dreams.

Chu Lian thought over and over again, knowing that now they only have the support of the General Zhenguo's Mansion, and the twelve guards in Beijing don't know the situation now, and no prince or minister dares to take the lead into the palace to ask the truth.

If it takes a little longer and the twelve guards are led, the general's mansion will be restrained, and it will be difficult to force the emperor to write an abdication edict.

Therefore, after some discussion, Chu Lian made a decision that the emperor must be subdued and write down the imperial edict tonight. If he did not write it, he would have to be sent on his way.

The emperor didn't know what Chu Lian was thinking, he just thought that everything in the palace was under his control, so he sighed helplessly and murmured.

"Heh, even if I write down the edict, can you let the Queen Mother go?"

Chu Lian got up immediately, with a smile on his face.

"That's natural. After all, I'm the emperor's grandmother, and I don't want to make the palace full of blood."

The emperor sat crookedly in the position of the main hall, looking thoughtfully at the closed palace door.

"Where's Princess Yu?"

Chu Lian glanced at the guard behind him. The guard nodded and stepped forward to whisper something in Chu Lian's ear.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the emperor.

"Father, don't worry, Princess Yu is in the side hall. If you write down the edict, Princess Yu will be safe and sound."

The emperor blinked his eyelids, but did not move.

As soon as Chu Lian raised his hand, he ordered someone to bring the desk to the emperor and get everything ready.

"Father, start writing!"

Because it was difficult to walk on a snowy night, and the palace gate had already been locked, the entire palace was very quiet at the moment.

Chu Yu arrived at Taicheng Hall without any difficulty.

As Bai Hu said, the gate of Taicheng Hall was closed, but as soon as he got close, he could hear the movement of people inside.

With a flying body, Chu Yu landed steadily in the corner of the courtyard of Taicheng Hall.

The guards inside and outside the gate of Taicheng Hall didn't notice it at all.Chu Yu moved like a ghost to the window of the main hall, and the main hall of Taicheng Hall was brightly lit.

From his voice and figure, Chu Yu could vaguely tell that the emperor was sitting on the throne at the moment, while Chu Lian and several people were standing in front of him arrogantly speaking about writing the imperial edict.

He immediately understood that Chu Lian hoped that the emperor would voluntarily write down the abdication edict, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and his fingers covering the window lattice tightened slightly.

Looking at the rest of the Taicheng Hall, Chu Yu noticed that the snow was getting smaller, and he vaguely saw a maid coming out from the side hall of the Taicheng Hall, holding a tray in his hand.

He left the main hall lightly, flew behind the maidservant, and grabbed the maidservant's throat.

The sudden fright caused the tray in the maid's hand to drop to the ground immediately. Fortunately, the snow was so thick that the tray didn't make a harsh sound when it hit the snow.

Chu Yu dragged the maid to a dark place and asked softly.

"Who is the person in the side hall?"

Right now, the maidservant was already panicked, she wanted to shout but her throat was restrained, she couldn't make any sound at all, only whimpering.

Chu Yu said softly and coldly again.

"If you dare to shout, this hall will immediately twist your throat."

The imprisoned maid nodded in a panic, and unconsciously began to grab Chu Yu's arm.

As soon as Chu Yufu let go of his hand slightly, the maid immediately gasped, but she didn't dare to speak out, so she could only speak intermittently in a low voice.

"It's Princess Yu who is in the side hall."

In the next second, the eyes of the maidservant went dark, and she was chopped down in the snow by Chu Yu with a single hand.

When Chu Yu learned that Su Youning was in the side hall, his nervous breathing slowed down.

He quietly approached the side hall, the candles inside were very dim, and no sound could be heard.

Chu Yu took a deep breath, his nervous heart was about to jump out, he pushed open the door of the side hall, stepped inside, and worried about scaring Su Youning, he yelled very softly.

"Su Youning, it's me!"
