Chapter 1034: Qianyuan Palace <<<
"Abdicate, Prince!"
"Abdicate, Prince!"
"Abdicate, Prince!"
Behind Li Yinhu, nearly ten thousand rebel soldiers simultaneously raised their weapons and shouted.
For a moment, there was a commotion like thunder and lightning.
Tens of thousands roared in unison, their voices shaking the air. The sound reverberated not just through the ancestral temple, but throughout the entire palace, clear and powerful for all to hear.
In the harem, countless maidservants, eunuchs, and even consorts trembled with fear.
This rebellion directly decided the life and death of the prince and Li Yinhu, Zhao Xuanji, and it also decided their future.
A little princess of seven or eight years old was held in her mother's arms. The child didn't understand so much, she only tilted her head and asked innocently: "Mother, why did they make the Second Prince abdicate?"
The concubine who was questioned turned pale, her eyes filled with unconcealable fear. She hugged her child tightly and whispered, "I don't know either."
The little girl clenched her fists and huffed, "Although the Second Prince is fierce, he's actually very nice to me. Last time I went to the East Palace to study, I was the first one to memorize the lesson, so the Second Prince rewarded me with a kite. I loved it... unfortunately, it got ruined when my eighth brother stepped on it."
It seemed that she had thought of something sad and upsetting, the little girl said indignantly: "The magpie is a bad guy!"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Every concubine's heart was in her throat.
The outcome is still unknown. If Li Yinhu ultimately wins, then his daughter's words could very well lead to her death.
The feelings of this mother and daughter also represent the thoughts of most concubines in the palace and the young princes and princesses who don't understand yet.
A child's view of right and wrong is simpler than an adult's, more pure. Their intuition is sharper; they often have a simple yet insightful understanding of good and bad people.
Just this, nothing can change the facts.

The world's heroes gathered before the Taimiao, yet the true ruler of this nation lay motionless in the Qianyuan Palace.
Even at this moment, eunuchs, maidservants, and imperial physicians are still attending to the emperor.
Compared to usual, everyone seemed more on edge.
They don't know where their future lies.
They are nothing but insignificant pawns, and no one cares about their thoughts.
They are unable to change the situation and can only passively wait for the results.
If the prince wins, everything will be fine.
But if Li Yinhǔ were to win, they didn't know if he would commit regicide for the throne. If he did, they would definitely not survive.
So in their hearts, they still prefer the Crown Prince to win.
At this moment, a figure running hastily and clumsily is rapidly approaching the Qianqing Palace.
There were still guards protecting the gate of Qianqing Palace. As soon as they saw this figure, they immediately stopped him.
"Be bold! The Qianyuan Palace is a sacred place, no commoners are allowed near! Leave immediately!"
That figure was stopped, and she cried out sharply, "I am the imperial consort of the East Palace, who dares to stop me!"
This person is Zhao Rui.
Zhao Rui's appearance surprised everyone.
The leader of the guards stepped forward, treating Zhao Rui with civility. He bowed and said, "I am Liang Dong, Captain of the Imperial Guards. I have met the Crown Princess."
Zhao Rui lifted her skirt, her face slightly pale from the exertion of running. "Liang Dong," she said, "since you know my identity, why don't you move?"
"This..."
Liang Dong hesitated for a moment, looking embarrassed: "But Your Highness Consort, the Crown Prince has given an order that no one is allowed to enter the East Palace without his decree."
Zhao Rui flew into a rage and exclaimed, "Don't you know what the situation is like right now? Besides His Majesty, who else has the ability to turn the tide!?”
