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

"Are you willing to give up that position that's just one step away? Do you want all your efforts over the years to go to waste?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince fell silent. He, who had been trembling, slowly raised his head, looked at Consort Yue, and said, "Mother... I don't want to fail."

Hearing his answer, Consort Yue nodded in satisfaction: "Good, as expected of a good Crown Prince. Now we just need to..."

Then Consort Yue revealed her entire plan.

Actually, it's nothing much. Just have the imperial physicians stall for time, and if all else fails, poison Emperor Liang with 507 to kill him.

When the time comes, it will be only natural for the crown prince to inherit the throne.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"

"Prince Jing has entered the palace, and he brought a physician with him, saying he wants to treat His Majesty!"

At this moment, a palace maid stepped forward and said in a panic.

Upon hearing this, Consort Yue's expression immediately changed drastically: "What!?"

This startled her, and she immediately got up to walk outside.

"Crown Prince, don't just stand there, go and stop Xiao Jingyan!"

After taking only a few steps, Consort Yue saw that the Crown Prince was still standing still and immediately called out to him.

"Yes! Yes! I'll go right away!"

The Crown Prince then came to his senses and quickly got up to follow Consort Yue toward the palace.

"Consort Yue, why are you so panicked?"

But as soon as she stepped out of the palace, she heard an unexpected voice and saw an unexpected person appear.

"You... what are you doing here?!"

The person who arrived was none other than the Empress.

These days, the Empress's family has some matters to attend to, so she has to leave the palace for a while. It is said that she will not return to the palace for several more days.

Otherwise, Consort Yue wouldn't have acted so recklessly at this time.

The Empress, however, gave a cold laugh: "Why am I here? Well, I'll have to ask you, sister, what good deeds you've done."

"You must have used a lot of coercion and bribery against those imperial physicians, right?"

Upon hearing this, Consort Yue was greatly shocked. Her body trembled, her pupils widened in shock, and she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

He shook his head repeatedly: "Your Majesty...Your Majesty, what are you...what are you saying? I...I don't know."

Seeing her like this, the Empress's sneer deepened: "You don't know? Then I'll make you think carefully about what you've done."

"Jinghuan, bring in all the imperial physicians and let them tell you what Consort Yue told them."

Just then, Prince Yu walked over with more than a dozen people.

They were all being escorted, looking disheveled. When they arrived in front of Consort Yue, they were immediately forced to kneel on the ground.

"Consort Yue, how much longer are you going to hold out?"

The Empress was extremely pleased with herself. Looking at those people and then at Consort Yue's panicked appearance, she felt a surge of satisfaction.

"No...it shouldn't be like this..."

Seeing the imperial physicians being arrested, Consort Yue broke out in a cold sweat. Unable to bear the blow, her vision went black and she collapsed.

The crown prince collapsed to the ground.

After learning of this, he gave up.

061 Xiao Jingyi: Oh my god, I'm going to have a huge hemorrhage today. The Crown Prince has been deposed (Please subscribe, please customize, please do everything)

Beside the Empress, seeing the Crown Prince's distraught state, Prince Yu felt an indescribable sense of pride.

Because he knew that after this day, no matter what the crown prince did, he would be deposed.

He then gave him a mocking look and snorted coldly.

“Your Highness, you allow your mother to make mistakes, yet you do not stop her.”

"I will report everything about what happened to you today to my father. Just wait for his punishment!"

Upon hearing Prince Yu's words, the Crown Prince would have exchanged a few words with him in the past.

But today, he knows he has failed.

It was still a complete and utter failure!

He just sat there with his head down, looking dejected.

"How dare you say that? Consort Yue did such a thing right under your nose, and you, on the contrary, have been kneeling in the palace the whole time. If someone hadn't secretly sent a message, I probably would still be in the dark!"

"Do you know how close you came to a terrible mistake!"

The Empress looked at Xiao Jingyan and cursed at him a few times.

Even though she was cursing, the smile on her face at that moment was genuine, after all, she was happy that Consort Yue had fallen from power.

Upon hearing these words, Prince Yu blushed and lowered his head, not daring to refute them.

Because the empress was right to scold him, he had no choice but to accept it.

At the same time, he cursed himself for being stupid. His father was seriously ill, and he was actually trying to make a good impression. He had been kneeling in front of his bedside to serve him for the past few days.

But to everyone's surprise, Consort Yue almost succeeded in raiding the enemy's home.

What a blunder!

At this moment, Prince Yu felt a pang of regret. After all, he knew that if he had orchestrated the thwarting of Consort Yue's conspiracy, his position as the next Crown Prince would have been secure.

But this regret was fleeting, because now that the crown prince was destined to be deposed, he was not worried that anyone else could take the position.

Meanwhile, on Emperor Liang's side...

With Xiao Jingyan and Meng Zhi leading the way, the group entered the palace directly, where Doctor Yan was able to successfully treat Emperor Liang.

From then on, the crisis of Emperor Liang's serious illness was resolved.

For the next two weeks, the palace remained under martial law, but it was no longer as tense as it had been before.

After treating Emperor Liang, Doctor Yan returned to the Su residence.

As for what credit he's trying to claim?

For Doctor Yan, it was just an empty title, so he didn't care about it at all.

Inside the Prince Yi's Mansion.

"Damn it, we almost killed the old man this time. It was a close call."

Leaning back in his chair, Xiao Jingyi looked at the ceiling and said with lingering fear.

He originally only wanted to bring down the crown prince, but unexpectedly, Emperor Liang almost couldn't hold on and was about to die.

The incident was so sudden that it caught him off guard.

"It seems that I must never be careless."

This incident at the palace served as a wake-up call for Xiao Jingyi; he would have to be more cautious of anyone in the future.

If it weren't for the presence of spies from the Imperial Guards in the palace, he probably wouldn't have known that Consort Yue would do such a thing.

“The more easily a person is overlooked, the more attention they need to receive.”

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingyi narrowed his eyes and made a plan in his mind.

"Your Highness, this is a pledge of allegiance sent back by Commander Mao Xiang."

Just then, Jiang Huan, carrying a thick stack of pledges of allegiance, approached Xiao Jingyi.

"Hmm, leave it there. I will personally inspect it later."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Jiang Huan respectfully placed the items on the table and then withdrew.

Xiao Jingyi glanced at the thick certificate of loyalty but did not deal with it immediately. Instead, he continued to clear his mind.

"If it's this tiring even before becoming emperor, won't it be even more tiring later?"

Muttering something, Xiao Jingyi immediately got up, intending to stroll around the Prince's Mansion and clear his mind.

"Your Highness~"

"Your Highness~"

Just then, he walked into a courtyard and was noticed by Xu Weixiong and Yan Fei.

Upon seeing his arrival, the two men's eyes lit up, and they immediately got up and walked over to him.

"Xiongxiong, Feiyan, what are you two doing here? By the way, aren't you playing cards today?"

play cards?

Upon hearing this, the two immediately recalled how they had been caught cheating and asking Xiao Jingyi for extra money a few months ago.

The two paid a huge price for this, and even failed to serve Xiao Jingyi in bed for two consecutive months.

There's no way around it; if you make a mistake, you have to admit it and you'll be punished.

As Xiao Jingyi spoke, he stepped forward and embraced one of them in each arm, looking quite comfortable.

"Your Highness, I was wrong!"

At this moment, Xu Weixiong took the opportunity to fall into Xiao Jingyi's arms. Smelling that familiar scent, she felt extremely at ease.

"What's wrong? What did you do wrong again?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Weixiong pursed his lips: "I shouldn't have said that I lost 20 taels of gold. In fact, I only lost 1000 taels."

Seeing this, Yanfei raised her own fair little hand and said, "I was wrong too, just like Xiongxiong."

???

!!!

Well, so you guys were just kidding me?!

I used to think you two were spendthrift women.

Looking back now, I realize I trusted you all too much.

Seeing their pitiful appearance, Xiao Jingyi immediately gave a bitter smile: "I thought I could see through everything, but I didn't expect to be deceived by the two of you."

"No, you have to compensate me."

Upon hearing this, the two were shocked. Yanfei pouted and said, "Your Highness, please don't ask me to compensate you. All the money has been confiscated by Nianzi, including our own savings. Now we are penniless."

"Is it that bad?"

"Yes, yes, after Ling'er reported us, the sisters conducted a humanitarian interrogation of us, and then, my money and Feiyan's money just vanished in an instant."

Looking at Xu Weixiong's vivid description, Xiao Jingyi found her incredibly adorable.

He chuckled lightly, "Then how about I secretly give you some more financial assistance?"

"Don't worry, it's just a small donation."

"Your Highness, you're being biased; you want to help them again."

"Xiao Lang, this is not right of you."

"My husband..."

But as soon as Xiao Jingyi finished speaking, he felt dozens of cold rays coming from behind him, and then he turned his head stiffly.

Good heavens, all his wives were there.

With all eyes fixed on him, he immediately chuckled, "Ladies, you're all here."

"Your Highness, I just heard you say you're going to sponsor Sister Feiyan and Sister Xiongxiong!"

At this moment, Wanwan stepped forward, put her hands on her hips, and said with a resentful look.

“Yes, yes, Your Highness, I’m not happy.” Third Madam Lian Ni Chang echoed.

"Me too~"
