The widow becomes a fairy, and the time-traveling girl counterattacks and becomes the queen

Chapter 236 Such a vicious mind

How could Zhao Haoxuan let them go so easily? He waved his hand and ordered his men to chase them.

The guards rushed forward and surrounded the men in black.

Although the men in black wanted to break through, they could only fight to the death in the face of heavy encirclement.

Zhao Haoxuan seized the opportunity and used the power of his bloodline. Rays of light shot towards the men in black, and many of them were tied up and unable to move.

Ye Fan was even more courageous. He rushed into the enemy group, dancing his sword tightly. Every time he thrust his sword, a man in black would be injured and fall down.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the leader, a powerful warrior at the second level of the Martial Emperor Realm, even tried to self-destruct and take a few others with him.

Zhao Haoxuan sensed his intention and flashed in front of him. A powerful force directly suppressed him, causing his self-destruction to fail.

Soon, the battle ended with the victory of Zhao Haoxuan's side.

After clearing the battlefield and Wang Xinyao quickly treating the wounded, the team took a short rest and continued to march towards the capital.

Everyone knew that although they had repelled the enemy this time, the road ahead was still full of dangers.

Zhao Yucheng will not give up so easily. They must be fully prepared to face the next challenge.

Not long after, the news of the failed assassination attempt quickly reached Zhao Yucheng.

When he heard the news, he was immediately furious, his face turned red, and veins bulged on his forehead.

He couldn't help but curse, "These idiots, why are you so reckless? I once said that if the Crown Prince comes back openly, I will not allow him to act rashly without a 100% guarantee of success!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yucheng suddenly raised his right hand and used all his internal strength to slam the stool next to him.

There was a loud "bang" and the sturdy stool suddenly turned into countless pieces and flew everywhere.

The guard standing nearby who came to report the news was stunned by the scene and his body began to tremble involuntarily.

Zhao Yucheng took a deep breath and tried to calm the anger in his heart.

Then, in a deep and commanding voice, he ordered, "Immediately pass on my order. From now on, all assassination attempts against the Crown Prince are suspended! We must not give the Crown Prince any more leverage or opportunities to exploit!"

Hearing this, the guard nodded in agreement as if he had been pardoned.

Then he crawled out of the palace as fast as he could, fearing that staying for even a second longer would anger his angry master.

After the guards left in a hurry, Zhao Yucheng's anger still showed no signs of subsiding.

He walked into the backyard of the palace with a gloomy face and went straight to where Princess Lin Shiyi, Concubine Liu and Concubine Li were.

When they entered the courtyard, Lin Shiyi and others who were busy embroidering in the yard stood up in panic when they saw Zhao Yucheng, their eyes full of fear.

Zhao Yucheng didn't say anything, picked up the whip in his hand and lashed at them fiercely.

Every time the whip fell, it was accompanied by a shrill scream.

The screams echoed throughout the yard, making people shudder.

However, Zhao Yucheng seemed to be deaf to this and just kept waving the whip in his hand, again and again, as if only this could slightly relieve the anger and anxiety in his heart.

None of the assassins sent to assassinate the prince succeeded, which made Zhao Yucheng feel extremely angry and frustrated.

As the emperor's uncle, he has to take into account the reputation for wisdom he has accumulated over the years.

In addition, the throne must be passed to Li'er. Unless he is forced into a desperate situation, he must not be accused of treason.

In view of this, it was really inconvenient for him to deal with the prince personally.

However, the current Crown Prince Zhao Haoxuan is extremely powerful, and there is no one around him who is stronger than the Crown Prince.

In an instant, he was caught in a helpless dilemma and had no idea how to deal with the current difficult situation.

After much thought, Zhao Yucheng finally decided to endure for the time being and make long-term plans after the prince returned to the palace.

After all, keeping the prince under one's close surveillance might make it easier to find the opportunity to strike.

Just when Zhao Yucheng was very worried about this matter, Concubine Yin in the palace also got the news.

When she heard that Zhao Yucheng had failed to get rid of the prince, she was immediately furious and wished she could tear Zhao Yucheng into pieces immediately.

"Zhao Yucheng is such a useless waste!" Concubine Yin cursed with gritted teeth.

"If he hadn't underestimated the enemy and taken care of the Crown Prince early on, there wouldn't be such trouble today. Now, the Crown Prince has had a chance to catch his breath and even become stronger. He's really more of a hindrance than a help!"

However, no matter how dissatisfied and resentful she felt, the current situation was a foregone conclusion, and Concubine Yin knew that complaining was useless.

Helplessly, she had to suppress her anger temporarily. Like Zhao Yucheng, she chose to take one step at a time and wait for the right opportunity to appear.

After a long journey, Zhao Haoxuan and his group finally arrived in the capital smoothly.

Zhao Chenhui led 20,000 elite troops brought back from Nanhu County and stationed outside the capital.

These soldiers have strict military discipline and are well-trained, adding a sense of majesty to the capital.

On the other hand, Wang Xinyao, accompanied by Xiao Xizi and two followers, went to her own farm.

She couldn't wait to go to the farm to check the growth of the rice, and also to think about how to solve the problem of soil drought in the capital.

After all, grain harvest is related to people's livelihood. If this problem cannot be properly solved, it may trigger a series of social unrest.

Zhao Haoxuan led Ye Fan and other personal guards back to his own Prince's Palace.

This palace, which was once a little deserted and quiet, is now full of vitality and vigor.

The palace maids and eunuchs were busy moving around, making various preparations to welcome their master's return.

For a moment, laughter and joyful cheers could be heard continuously, and the entire Prince's Palace seemed to have turned into a sea of ​​joy.

At this time, Emperor Zhao Guoan in the palace also learned the news that Prince Zhao Haoxuan had returned safely.

After hearing the good news, the emperor was overjoyed and immediately ordered the prince to be summoned.

After receiving the imperial edict, Zhao Haoxuan did not dare to delay. He quickly tidied his clothes and hurried into the palace to meet the emperor.

When Zhao Haoxuan stepped into the imperial study, Emperor Zhao Guoan immediately stood up and said in a hoarse voice: "Xuan'er, you are finally back..."

After he finished speaking, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, just like any father who saw his son whom he had not seen for a long time.

"Your Majesty, I am here to pay my respects to you. If I cause you to worry, it is truly my fault!" Zhao Haoxuan knelt down and kowtowed respectfully.

Zhao Guoan immediately stepped forward and helped him up: "Xuan'er, get up and tell me about your situation outside for the past two years!"

After Zhao Haoxuan stood up, he described his experiences over the past two years in detail.

Moreover, he pointed out without hesitation that the mastermind behind the scenes was the emperor's uncle Zhao Yucheng who was secretly making trouble.

After listening to Zhao Haoxuan's statement, Emperor Zhao Guoan's face instantly became gloomy, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

He snorted coldly and said, "My brother has such a vicious mind! It really makes me sad and angry!"
