Chapter 20 - Adultery

When he saw the faces of the two ministers, Song Chin Zong was pleasantly surprised, and said: "Zhang Aiqing, Li Aiqing, it's actually you two! That's great! Are you here to protect me? Your loyalty and devotion! "

One of them was the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, the other was the Deputy Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty. At this moment, the two of them brought their guards into the Funing Hall, and the two of them knelt down respectfully to pay their respects, and said: "This humble subject greets Your Majesty!"

"My two beloved officials, quickly rise!" The Song Chin Zong asked anxiously.

"Your Majesty, we have come under the orders of the Great Golden Marshal, Wanyan Zonghan!" Zhang Bangchang said after standing up.

"What?" Song Chin Zong was shocked.

"Your majesty, the marshal has said that as long as you surrender, he can spare the lives of our sovereign and his subjects. Furthermore, he can spare the lives of millions of citizens in Kaifeng City!" Li Bangyan said.

Song Chin Zong was stunned! He had thought that these two ministers were here to protect him, but he had never expected that these two ministers were here to persuade him!

"Your Majesty, the marshal is waiting for you outside the palace! Let's go! " Zhang Bangchang said.

"I don't want to leave the palace, I don't want to leave the palace!" Song Chin Zong loudly, almost hysterically shouted!

Even if he was an idiot, he knew that things would not end well outside! He was shouting loudly, and the Empress Zhu was also shouting loudly in fear!

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not up to you right now!" Zhang Bangchang said.

He waved his hand, and the guards from the palace actually rushed forward, grabbing Song Chin Zong and Empress Zhu's hands and dragged them outside!

"Zhang Aiqing, Li Aiqing, don't treat us like this! We have treated you pretty well! " Song Chin Zong's face was covered in tears, a stench came from his body, it turned out that he was defecating and urinating!

"Your Majesty, for the sake of the citizens of the Kaifeng City, I can only sacrifice you!" Zhang Bangchang was actually "crying face" at this moment.

"Save me … "Save me …" The Song Chin Zong continued to shout, but at this moment, no one paid any attention to him! The loyal eunuchs and palace maids around Funing Hall only stood at the side, no one dared to charge forward!

"Besides His Majesty, there's also His Majesty the Emperor! "Let's go, we'll go to the Dragon De Palace to invite His Majesty the Emperor!" Zhang Bangchang passed the "tears" on his face, and said indifferently.

One year ago, Song Huizong abdicated and became the Supreme Emperor! After the Song Chin Zong ascended to the throne, he first killed the trusted aides of Cai Jing, Gao Wei, and the others, and then he actually placed Song Huizong under house arrest in the Dragon Palace! Although the Song Chin Zong was an outsider, the civil war was still an outsider! Even if Song Huizong was his father, he was still afraid of competing against him for power and benefits. Hence, he didn't let his father go out for an entire year! That night, Song Huizong was also restless. He was unable to leave the Dragon De Palace for a year, so he did not know what was happening outside. He did not even know that the Nvzhen had broken through to the Kaifeng City and had sent people to capture him!

The sky was starting to brighten. The snow was already half a foot thick! Unfortunately, even this heavy snow was unable to cover up the stench of blood in the Kaifeng City!

Zhang Bangchang shook the snow off his body, his face full of smiles, and said: "The Emperor and Supreme Emperor were both invited, and a few of the princes were also invited by others. Our mission is finally completed!"

Li Bangyan said: "Sir Zhang, have you forgotten, there is one more person!"

"Who?" Zhang Bangchang was startled.

"His Highness the Crown Prince, of course!" Li Bangyan said.

"That's right!" The Crown Prince was still in the palace! The crown prince's identity is respected, so you need us to personally invite him! " Zhang Bangchang nodded.

"Alright!" Li Bangyan also nodded.

The two of them brought a group of guards with them and headed towards the East Palace!

The group of them arrived at the entrance of the Eastern Palace. Originally, there were still a few eunuchs and palace maids here, but at this moment, these eunuchs and palace maids were all dispersed like birds and beasts! There were still two eunuchs standing at the entrance of the palace. With just a cold snort from Zhang Bangchang, the two eunuchs immediately opened up a path!

Zhang Bangchang did not immediately enter, but stood outside the palace and said: "Your Highness, this humble subject's Zhang Bangchang, Li Bangyan requests to see you!"

Zhang Bangchang called out for a long time, but there was no sound from inside.

Zhang Bangchang frowned, and said: "Your Highness, since you are unwilling to come out, I can only go in!"

and Li Bangyan brought the guards and entered the crown prince's sleeping quarters. However, when they entered, they were shocked!

He saw "Zhao Chen" lying on the ground. There was a big bump on Zhao Chen's forehead, and his face seemed to still be stained with blood! Xiao San'er and Zhao Chen were ninety percent similar to each other in the first place, and now, no one could even tell who was the crown prince anymore! If Little San'er hadn't fainted at that moment, his movements and speech would have been different from Zhao Chen's. But now, with Little San'er lying there, all of this was covered up! In addition, Zhang Bangchang and Li Bangyan were foreign ministers, so even if they saw the crown prince on normal days, they would have to bow their heads and greet him.

"The Crown Prince must be trying to kill himself!" Zhang Bangchang was shocked.

"That must be it! Fortunately, he still has his breath! " Li Bangyan had already reached Xiao San'er's side, he took a look at Xiao San'er's Qi, and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Go!" Take him away! " Zhang Bangchang said.

The next moment, one of the guards picked up Little San'er and left with her!

After they left, Zhao Chen finally came out from under the bed. His face was extremely pale! No matter what, he had finally passed this trial! Now, he had to leave and escape the palace. If Xiao San'er woke up and said that she truly wanted to go, Nvzhen would search for Zhao Chen again on a large scale!

His body flickered as he moved to the window. Just as he was about to open it, he picked it up! At that moment, a figure appeared in the distance. Zhao Chen was shocked, he anxiously hid again!

The figure was extremely fast and arrived outside the window in a moment. Following that, a soft voice could be heard, "Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Hearing this voice, Zhao Chen's face was full of surprise! This was Wang De's voice, he actually found his way here!

"I'm here!" he whispered.

Wang De who was outside was also ecstatic, he had been fighting all night! With the outer city destroyed, he ran to the inner city and continued to resist the Jin Army! When the inner city was destroyed, he sneaked into the palace. He still remembered what Zhao Chen had told him before! Until now, when he finally met Zhao Chen!

Wang De opened the window and jumped in.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" "You're hurt!" Seeing Wang De's entire body covered in blood, as though he was a man made of blood, Zhao Chen could not help but ask.

"This general is not injured, these are all the Tataru's blood!" Wang De said.

"Let's leave this place quickly!"

"Your Highness, hold the treasured sword!" Wang De reminded.

"Right, I almost forgot!" Zhao Chen was startled.

He immediately put on the Seven Star Dragon's Abyss Sword, thought for a while, then put on the clothes made of ape skin, put on the crown prince's seal, and some gold and silver jewelry into his arms, then left with Wang De.

Wang De brought Zhao Chen forward, the stench of blood on his body was extremely strong, and Zhao Chen almost vomited! He circulated his true qi, and only then did he feel slightly better.

"General Wang, where are we going?" Zhao Chen said.

"There's a side hall to the north. That place is very desolate and there are no signs of humans. Let's go there!" And then I'll find a chance to leave! " Wang De said.

"Alright!" Zhao Chen nodded.

The two of them headed that way. The road was very quiet, and not a single person could be seen. Zhao Chen felt that his heart was violently beating, he had never experienced such a dangerous thing in his life before!

Occasionally, he would hear the shouts and cries of the Nvzhen s outside.

"Why hasn't the Nvzhen entered the palace yet?" Zhao Chen said somewhat puzzled.

"Nvzhen is currently in Kaifeng City … After having fun, many women had been ruined by them! There are only thousands of female soldiers guarding outside the palace. I'm afraid this palace is reserved for the two female marshals! " Wang De said.

"So that's how it is!" Zhao Chen nodded, thought for a while, and said, "I wonder how my royal father and mother are doing?"

"Your majesty, the empress has already been taken away by the two treacherous officials, Zhang Bangchang! I just happened to see it when I came in! This lowly general was also shocked when he saw them walking in the direction of the East Palace! " Wang De said.

Zhao Chen was slightly sad in his heart! Song Chin Zong and Empress Zhu were both his parents in name. Even though they didn't normally meet, he could feel the concern they had for him! Since the two of them were captured, he didn't know what would happen in the future.

"Your Highness, have you pushed out that Little San'er as your substitute?" Wang De said again.

"That's right!" Zhao Chen nodded.

"Your Highness has foresight, this general admires you! But Your Highness, did Little San'er not resist? " Wang De said.

"I knocked him out!" Zhao Chen recounted what happened just now.

Wang De originally admired Zhao Chen for his foresight, but when he heard that Zhao Chen had only knocked out Xiao San'er, he couldn't help but frown.

"His Highness the crown prince is too kind!" Xiao San'er will definitely inform Jin Army when he wakes up. Jin Army will definitely look for the crown prince! If His Highness the crown prince had killed Little San'er back then, Jin Army would have thought that the crown prince had died. Wang De said.

Zhao Chen nodded his head, he naturally understood this logic! But at that time, he could not do it! And even so, he felt sorry for that Little San!

"Your Highness, His Majesty has been captured by the Tataru. From today onwards, you are Song Dynasty's ruler! Your entire body is shouldering thousands of miles and millions of miles of the Song Dynasty, you must never be soft-hearted! Let's not talk about a little rascal, even this lowly general or other more important figures must be killed when the time comes! " Wang De said.

"This …" Zhao Chen was startled, then he laughed bitterly, to think that he could be so ruthless, he truly could not do it! Furthermore, he did not think that he was shouldering the responsibility of "Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains" or "billions of citizens". He had never treated himself as the Song Dynasty's ruler.

"Let's go to the side chamber first. There's one more person there!" After meeting up with that person, we will immediately leave the palace. We can't stay in this palace any longer! Nvzhen will soon realize that Xiao San'er is not the crown prince! " Wang De said.

"There's one more?" Zhao Chen asked curiously.
