Martial Arts Crossover: Starting as a member of the Imperial Guard, all the ladies are demons

"We will definitely get them to talk!"

Gao Shun then clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Upon hearing this, Prince Yu paused for a moment. He had originally intended to interrogate the person himself, but considering that it might not be appropriate and would arouse suspicion from his father, the Emperor, about whether he was involved in factional strife, he nodded in agreement.

"Alright, Commander Gao, I'll leave it to you."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Gao Shun nodded emphatically after hearing this, then raised his arms and shouted, "Take them down!"

The result was obvious: how could these assassins be a match for the army? After a brief struggle, they were all subdued.

After thanking him again, Gao Shun sent men to take all the assassins away.

Prince Yu was delighted and personally offered to escort Shen Zhui home, chatting about all sorts of things along the way.

After sending Shen Zhui back, Prince Yu laughed heartily: "Perfect, perfect! I never expected that the Crown Prince would be so impatient and dare to send assassins to kill Shen Zhui."

"This time, the Crown Prince will surely fall!"

Then he realized that the message had come from Qin Banruo, and a burning flame flashed in his eyes.

"I never expected that Prajna's intelligence network would be so powerful. It seems that I underestimated her before. No, I must take her down completely."

At this moment, Prince Yu had made up his mind that Qin Banruo was not only a person, but also the power she held, and that the future could only belong to him.

"Let's go back to the Prince's Mansion and get a good night's sleep."

"Everyone who came out with me today will be rewarded!"

Prince Yu waved his hand and bestowed rewards upon everyone. Those who came out with him cheered and jumped for joy. Someone, while expressing their gratitude, shouted "Long live the Prince!"

Prince Yu, upon hearing this, did not find it inappropriate; in fact, he thoroughly enjoyed the idea and even rewarded the man with one hundred taels of gold.

Little did he know, this was just the beginning of his growing ambition.

The Su residence.

"Sect Master, it has quieted down outside."

Li Gang hurriedly came up behind Mei Changsu and said respectfully.

"Oh? They acted so quickly?"

Mei Changsu was somewhat surprised to hear Li Gang's words.

Li Gang also told Mei Changsu everything he had seen and heard.

Upon hearing these words, Mei Changsu chuckled and said, "It seems that Prince Yu has really become arrogant this time. He even dares to accept the title 'Long Live the Emperor' so openly, and even rewarded that person."

"In that case, my plan with Prince Yi can soon come to fruition."

Mei Changsu laughed happily. He had no interest in Prince Yu, but seeing him so flamboyant, he was naturally happy to join in.

"By the way, how is the old man doing?"

"Reporting to the sect leader, we have already sent someone with the token you gave us to invite the old gentleman over."

Li Gang clasped his hands in a fist salute and replied.

Upon hearing this, Mei Changsu nodded: "Alright, he'll pull the Crown Prince, and I'll pull the Ministry of Rites. This is what we agreed on back then, and I can't hold him back."

.....

The following day, after the morning court session.

"Your Majesty, Commander Gao of the patrol battalion outside the gate requests an audience."

Emperor Liang, who was just about to rest, raised an eyebrow when he heard that Gao Shun had come to see him: "Why has he come to see me?"

After thinking for a moment, he sat up straight and waved to him, "Let him in."

"Yes!"

A short while later, Gao Shun, having removed his armor, entered the main hall led by a guard.

"Your humble servant Gao Shun greets Your Majesty!"

Upon seeing his beloved general, Emperor Liang couldn't help but smile, and then asked him, "Gao Shun, what brings you to see me today?"

"Your Majesty, late last night, I captured a group of assassins in the capital who were trying to kill Lord Shen Zhui."

"Fortunately, I learned of the news from Prince Yu and immediately led men to rescue Lord Shen Zhui, thus preventing Lord Shen from getting into trouble."

!!!

???

Upon hearing this, Emperor Liang immediately became restless.

The assassination of a high-ranking official of the second rank in the imperial court is tantamount to a declaration of war against the court!

Moreover, he had only recently appointed this minister.

Emperor Liang was furious. He slammed his hand on the table, ignoring the surging heat from his palm, and glared at Gao Shun.

"Investigate! Find out who it is!"

"Your Majesty, I have managed to get the assassins to talk, but this matter is of great importance, and I dare not speak rashly. I beg Your Majesty to make the final decision."

Gao Shun pulled out the incriminating evidence and presented it with both hands.

Seeing how efficient Gao Shun was, Emperor Liang's anger subsided considerably, and he then gestured to Gao Zhan, who was standing nearby, to bring the items up.

He then declared confidently, "Gao Shun, you have rendered meritorious service this time, and I will remember to reward you."

"Your humble servant dares not claim credit; protecting the safety of the capital is my duty."

"No, you should be rewarded."

Emperor Liang was very satisfied with Gao Shun's answer.

Look, this is Gao Shun, my trusted and beloved general.

However, upon seeing Gao Zhan approaching with the indictment, he immediately focused his attention on it.

When he received it and saw what it said, he felt dizzy and almost couldn't stand up.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Be careful of your health!"

Upon seeing this, Gao Zhan immediately stepped forward to help him up, saying with a worried expression.

Emperor Liang ignored him, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he looked at Gao Shun: "Gao Shun, do you know the testimony on this document?"

"Your Majesty, I understand, and I know this matter is of great importance, so I dare not make any hasty conclusions..."

Ignoring Emperor Liang's murderous glare, Gao Shun spoke calmly and respectfully.

"Do you know that the Crown Prince is the heir apparent to the throne?"

"Your Majesty, I understand," Gao Shun replied.

Seeing Gao Shun like this, Emperor Liang supported himself to stand up and stared at him for a long time.

During this time, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

Is this a frame-up, or is it true?

Or is someone trying to get close enough to overthrow the crown prince?

and many more.

He had thought of everything, but considering that this matter concerned the Crown Prince and Shen Zhui, one was the heir apparent and the other was a court official.

He decided to get to the bottom of this matter.

He said in a deep voice, "Someone, go and summon the Crown Prince, Prince Yu, Shen Zhui, and Xia Dong from the Xuanjing Division. At the same time, order Meng Zhi to immediately surround the palace!"

"Gao Shun, you have rendered meritorious service this time, and I will remember it for you."

"But if this evidence against you is false, I will absolutely not tolerate it!"

.....

Emperor Liang was furious and declared martial law in the palace.

The people he had summoned soon arrived at the main hall.

However, Emperor Liang did not immediately take action. Instead, he ordered Xia Dong to investigate the matter. That evening, Xia Dong returned with the same charges against Gao Shun.

Upon seeing the testimonies of those people, Emperor Liang even personally interrogated the assassins.

The answers obtained were generally the same.

This proves that Gao Shun's crimes are true!

The crown prince plotted to assassinate a high-ranking official in the court.

"Okay...okay...okay!"

"Jingxuan, you are truly my good son, my good crown prince."

After saying this, Emperor Liang was so enraged that he fainted.

His sudden change startled everyone.

In an instant, the expressions of the Crown Prince, Prince Yu, and others changed drastically.

The imperial physician was immediately summoned to treat the patient, and the palace was placed under martial law for several days.

.....

"What? It's still not cured?"

Inside the Prince Yi's residence, Xiao Jingyi naturally knew about the changes in the palace these past few days, and he also knew why it all happened.

There's nothing we can do; it was all his doing, he was the one who started it all.

But even he, the instigator, never expected that this time he had gone too far and actually made Emperor Liang seriously ill.

"No way, the old man is so fragile that he's seriously ill?"

Xiao Jingyi looked bewildered; he had originally thought that Emperor Liang had only fainted briefly.

However, he did not expect that Emperor Liang's fainting spell would last for several days, and he was even issued a critical condition notice.

This was beyond his expectations.

Xiao Jingyi looked at Jiang Huan with a strange expression: "Are those imperial physicians really that incompetent?"

"Your Highness, according to the reports from the Embroidered Uniform Guard spies, it seems that it's not that the imperial physicians are unable to treat the patient, but rather that someone has told them something."

"Oh? You've found out?"

Xiao Jingyi raised an eyebrow and immediately discovered that there was something fishy going on behind the scenes.

"Your Highness, according to the investigation by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, it seems that all these imperial physicians have been summoned by Consort Yue."

"Consort Yue?"

Thinking of Consort Yue, Xiao Jingyi suddenly realized.

She's a mean-spirited person; if she knew what the Crown Prince had done, she would definitely take the risk.

Furthermore, with the empress absent from the palace, it wouldn't be impossible to even use this opportunity to have Emperor Liang die.

"Alright, I understand. Have the Embroidered Uniform Guards make preparations. Someone will be sent to escort them into the palace later."

"At the same time, get everyone inside to cooperate."

In Xiao Jingyi's view, since the imperial physicians were all controlled by Consort Yue, then they should find someone with superb medical skills from outside.

As for Consort Yue trying to reap the rewards of her own actions, then let her die as well.

He didn't believe that Emperor Liang wouldn't investigate this matter after he woke up.

"Yes!"

"I'll take care of it right away!"

Jiang Huan immediately bowed and left.

Xiao Jingyi then got up and went outside, saying to Dian Wei, "Dian Wei, go to the Su residence, Your Majesty."
