Joy of Life: Me, the Second Prince? Summon Yuan Tiangang!

I highly recommend "Joy of Life: I'm the Second Prince? Summoning Yuan Tiangang!" Go straight to the exciting part.

The front yard of Taiping Villa.

At this moment, the front yard has been completely taken over by the Great Snow Dragon Riders.

Tens of thousands of cavalrymen clad in heavy white armor surrounded the entire front yard like an iron wall.

The lances in their hands were still dripping with blood, and their cold gazes swept over every corner.

In the center of the courtyard, the once high and mighty ministers of Nanqing were now huddled together like quails, trembling with fear.

Lin Ruofu, the six ministers, and various nobles... these powerful figures who usually held sway in the court dared not even breathe loudly at this moment. Around them were mountains of corpses of imperial guards, the pungent stench of blood making them want to vomit, but not one of them dared to utter a sound.

They didn't know where this terrifying army came from, nor what had happened inside.

All they knew was that their lives were now completely in the hands of these white-armored killing gods.

Just then, a steady sound of footsteps came from the moon gate leading to the inner courtyard.

All the ministers instinctively raised their heads and looked in that direction in horror.

A young man dressed in a purple python robe slowly emerged from the shadows.

His steps were unhurried, his face calm, and his body was spotless, creating a stark contrast to the surrounding carnage of corpses and blood.

It was the Second Prince, Li Chengze.

Behind him followed the Bad Commander

Upon seeing Li Chengze appear, the tens of thousands of Snow Dragon Riders in the front yard, who had stood like statues, suddenly moved.

"Splash!"

The synchronized clanging of metal echoed through the night sky.

Without any hesitation, all the Great Snow Dragon Riders dismounted simultaneously.

They moved in unison, kneeling heavily on one knee on the muddy and blood-soaked ground, their right fists clenched and held horizontally in front of their chests.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

The shouts of tens of thousands of people were like thunder from the heavens, making the entire Taiping Villa buzz.

This overwhelming wave of voices was filled with absolute fanaticism and submission.

This scene completely shattered the psychological defenses of all the ministers present.

They stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the second prince standing before the army, receiving the homage of thousands.

Only at this moment did they truly confirm that this invincible iron cavalry, which descended like divine soldiers and instantly slaughtered thousands of imperial guards, was indeed the private army of the Second Prince Li Chengze!

Lin Ruofu's heart was pounding.

As he looked at Li Chengze's calm face, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

The Second Prince is hiding his true strength! He even possesses such a terrifying army, and judging by his demeanor, he has completely taken control of the situation. So, what about His Majesty in the inner palace?

Lin Ruofu had found the answer in his heart.

Li Chengze stood on the steps, his gaze calmly sweeping over the kneeling Snow Dragon Riders before him, and slightly raised his hand.

"All soldiers, you may rise."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

The Snow Dragon Riders stood up in unison, regaining their suffocating silence and chilling aura.

Li Chengze then turned his gaze to the group of ministers huddled together.

When Li Chengze's gaze swept over them, the ministers were so frightened that they all lowered their heads and dared not meet his eyes.

A few timid ones even collapsed to their knees.

Ignoring their fear, Li Chengze's face suddenly changed to one of extreme anxiety and worry.

"Prime Minister Lin, gentlemen, you have all been frightened." Li Chengze hurried down the steps to Lin Ruofu, asking urgently, "I sensed something amiss at Taiping Villa outside the city and immediately led my personal guards to its aid. The rebel forces on the outskirts have been wiped out by me, but where is Father? Where is Father?!"

Li Chengze's acting skills can be described as superb. His anxious eyes and concerned tone make him seem like a filial son who is extremely anxious to save the emperor.

"Your...Your Highness..." Lin Ruofu's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said in a trembling voice, "This old minister...this old minister doesn't know. Your Majesty was in the inner courtyard before, and then...then there was an extremely terrifying tremor and sound coming from the inner courtyard. This old minister and the others were guarded outside by the Imperial Guards and had no idea what happened inside..."

"What?!" Li Chengze's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. He turned around abruptly and shouted at Yuan Tiangang behind him, "General! Immediately lead your men into the inner courtyard with me! At all costs, ensure Father's safety!"

"Yes, sir!"

Li Chengze took the lead, rushing towards the inner courtyard with Yuan Tiangang and a team of elite Snow Dragon Riders.

Lin Ruofu and the other ministers followed at a distance.

The group passed through the moon gate and entered the inner courtyard.

As soon as you step into the inner courtyard, a stronger and more pungent smell of blood hits you, even more so than in the front courtyard.

The scene in the inner courtyard was even more devastating than that in the front courtyard. The once magnificent buildings had been completely reduced to ruins, with bottomless pits and crisscrossing cracks everywhere on the ground, as if the earth had just been turned upside down by a dragon.

In the center of these ruins, the scene of "mutual destruction" meticulously fabricated by Li Chengze and Yuan Tiangang was presented before everyone's eyes.

"Father Emperor—!!!"

The moment Li Chengze saw that image, he let out a heart-wrenching cry of grief.

He suddenly threw himself into the muddy water, scrambling to Emperor Qing's body. He grabbed Emperor Qing's cold legs and burst into tears.

"Father! What's wrong?! Wake up! Your son is too late! Your son is too late to save you!"

Li Chengze cried his heart out, tears mingling with the rain as they streamed down his face. His grief was so intense that anyone who saw him would be moved.

When the ministers following behind saw the scene before them, they were all struck dumb, as if by lightning.

What did they see?

Emperor Qing is dead.

Ku He, the Grand Preceptor of Northern Qi, and Si Gu Jian, the guardian deity of Dongyi City, also died.

They saw Chief Steward Hong Siyang, who had also fallen into a pool of blood.

The evidence at the scene was too obvious.

Emperor Qing had Si Gu Jian's sword stuck in his body, and his palm shattered Si Gu Jian's chest; Ku He attacked from behind, but Emperor Qing countered and broke his throat; Hong Si Yang died at Ku He's feet while protecting His Majesty.

Lin Ruofu was also moved at this moment. He never expected that they would all die here. His gaze fell on Li Chengze's back and became more and more profound.

"His Majesty--!!!"

After a brief silence, a series of mournful wails erupted from the inner courtyard.

The ministers all fell to the ground, weeping bitterly over Emperor Qing's corpse.

Regardless of their true feelings, at this moment, showing extreme grief is their only option.

Lin Ruofu also knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face.
