"Chang'an, since you have married my daughter, we are now a family."
Looking at Chen An in front of him, the Emperor smiled gently, "The situation outside is currently a bit chaotic. Until those rebels are subdued, stay here with Yi'er."
"This child probably hasn't been home for a long time."
"The princess has a mansion in the palace, the husband can directly live with the princess."
Beside them, Steward Liu also inserted, smiling.
What, they're going to live together?
The Fourth Princess had completely lowered her head, her face burning red, not daring to lift it up to look at anyone.
Getting married today and living together that night, isn't this a bit too exciting? Isn't it a bit too fast?
But why was there a sense of anticipation inside?
The Fourth Princess was distracted, but Chen An didn't think too much and just smiled and said, "I understand."
He knew that the Emperor wanted to confine him here, to avoid him interfering in the situation outside and disrupting the Emperor's plans.
After all, a living Gang Qi martial artist wandering around outside would have a huge impact on the situation.
As for accompanying the Fourth Princess, that was just an excuse.
"I've done what I can, now it's up to you, Third Prince."
Standing in place, leaving the main hall with the Fourth Princess, Chen An's face remained calm, silently contemplating this thought.
He had broken into the palace largely to send a message to the Third Prince, enabling him to make the right decision.
Surely, when he learned of the palace attack and still didn't come out, Cheng Zheng would know what to do, right?
Now, Chen An could only hope for the best.
"What did you say?"
In the Third Prince's residence, Cheng Zheng suddenly stood up, his eyes staring tightly at Liu Chu in front of him, "Chang'an led the Fourth Princess into the palace and defeated Wu Guogong and the others?"
"Yes!"
Different from the Third Prince, excitement was evident on Liu Chu's face, "I never thought Chang'an would come to this point."
"In that battle, with a thousand people besieging them, Chang'an swept them alone, and no one dared to approach further."
"Wu Guogong tried to stop him, but was killed by Chang'an in one move, turned into an ice sculpture, which is still outside the palace for people to admire!"
As he spoke, there was excitement on his face.
He had every reason to be excited.
Chen An was just like him, a figure under the Third Prince, equivalent to being his teammate.
A teammate this fierce, who wouldn't want that?
Perhaps, anyone would feel excited, right?
An idiotic teammate might be hateful, but a teammate who can bring you to victory, who wouldn't like that?
It was understandable why Liu Chu was excited.
Actually, when he received the news, Cheng Zheng was also very excited.
But more importantly, he was concerned about the message Chen An had sent him.
"Are you sure Chang'an led the Fourth Princess into the palace and never came out again?"
Standing there, Cheng Zheng stared at Liu Chu, solemnly asking.
Faced with Cheng Zheng's seriousness, Liu Chu hesitated for a moment, but then nodded hastily, "Yes."
"And there was no noise coming out from inside?"
Cheng Zheng continued.
"No."
Liu Chu shook his head, speaking seriously, "I saw Chang'an go in with my own eyes and even had people guarding outside for a long time, but didn't hear any noise coming out."
"Good."
Cheng Zheng finally smiled, then decisively said, "Liu Guogong, go gather the ministers."
"Eh?"
Liu Chu was stunned, "Your Highness?"
"Didn't you hear me?"
Cheng Zheng looked at him, emphasizing once again, "Gather the ministers immediately."
"Yes."
By this time, Liu Chu had finally reacted and nodded quickly, prepared to leave.
Standing in place, Cheng Zheng looked at Liu Chu's departing figure and felt a bit nervous.
"Hopefully, everything goes smoothly."
He silently hoped.
Just as Chen An believed in him, Cheng Zheng had never doubted Chen An.
Therefore, after learning of Chen An's attack on the palace, his first reaction was that Chen An wanted to tell him something.
And what did Chen An want to tell him?
Naturally, it was about the Emperor's safety.
Using the Fourth Princess as an excuse to break into the palace, if the Emperor was truly in danger or had already passed away, there would surely be a conflict.
If the Emperor had already passed away, even with the Fourth Princess in hand, the palace experts would not let Chen An off so easily, at least they would capture him to determine his fate.
In that case, conflict would inevitably erupt.
And the conflicts between Gang Qi martial artists would be significant.
At that time, the Third Prince's side would naturally understand what had happened.
But if nothing hapened, that would be a different situation.
Only with the Emperor still alive could the conflict be avoided, keeping the palace experts and Chen An restrained.
Clearly, Chen An deliberately did this to inform Cheng Zheng of the outcome, allowing him to make the right judgement.
And regardless of the result, no one would suspect the Third Prince.
Everyone would focus on the Fourth Princess, attributing the reasons to her.
She was the perfect scapegoat.
This was Chen An's chance to test his own safety, and Cheng Zheng couldn't afford to miss it.
Opportunities like this were fleeting. If he missed this chance, it might be too late when others reacted.
So he had to act immediately.
"Chang'an, wait for me."
Standing there, Cheng Zheng raised his head, looking towards the distant palace, his expression gradually becoming resolute, "If the situation can be resolved, I will not let you down!"
He made a silent vow in his heart, then walked out.
Meanwhile, in the outside world, many ministers were already gathering.
During this time, while the Crown Prince and Second Prince were competing for power, the Third Prince was busy with various official duties.
Regardless of his initial purpose, he was very serious and diligent, and also gained the goodwill and trust of many ministers.
Especially those ministers who were dissatisfied with the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, they gathered under the banner of the Third Prince.
This was the direction of people's hearts!
And with these people, combined with the networks and powers that the Third Prince had secretly accumulated over the years, once this outburst occurred, it immediately set off a tide.
The vast army rushed towards the palace, and the speed was fast.
Almost before the Crown Prince and the Second Prince could react, Cheng Zheng had reached the front of the palace.
And what about the palace guards?
They were trembling.
They had seen many people trying to break into the palace before, and apart from Chen An, they had also killed many.
There was blood from many ministers splattered here, and their corpses lay outside, like weeds.
But even so, when they saw the array in front of them, they couldn't help but feel anxious.
In the forefront of this array was the current Third Prince Cheng Zheng, the dignified prince.
Following him were a large number of ministers, coldly watching the palace guards in front of them.
The power struggle between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince had left many people dissatisfied.
But due to their lack of strength, they didn't dare to speak out and could only endure silently.
After the Third Prince Cheng Zheng came forward, these people immediately gathered and came to this place together.
Individually, a minister might not amount to much, but when these ministers gathered together, the combined force was something the Crown Prince and the Second Prince could not ignore, let alone the palace guards who stood in front of them.
"Get out of the way!"
Cheng Zheng coldly ordered the guards in front of him.
In front of him, a middle-aged general in armor named Wu Yuan was standing there, his face looking a bit ugly.
This man named Wu Yuan was a general under the Crown Prince, and also had reached the Inner Qi stage in cultivation. Previously, he had been responsible for guarding the palace with Wu Guogong.
But now, with Wu Guogong directly defeated by Chen An, Wu Yuan was the only one left.
"Your Highness, please don't put me in a difficult position."
Seeing the imposing array in front of him, Wu Yuan's face looked awful, and he couldn't help but hesitate in his words.
Look how many ministers were gathered here?
Under the banner of the Third Prince Cheng Zheng, there were at least dozens of current ministers, some of them even dukes.
At this moment, these ministers were following Cheng Zheng, their heads held high as they moved forward.
Frankly speaking, even if the Crown Prince came here in person, he wouldn't dare to take action towards them.
What qualifications did he, Wu Yuan, have to do such a thing that even the Crown Prince dared not do?
Was he asking for death?
Furthermore, the Third Prince was not someone to be trifled with.
Far away, many guards were watching Wu Yuan closely from a distance.
"Chang'an, since you have married my daughter, we are now a family."
Looking at Chen An in front of him, the Emperor smiled gently, "The situation outside is currently a bit chaotic. Until those rebels are subdued, stay here with Yi'er."
"This child probably hasn't been home for a long time."

Furthermore, the Third Prince was not someone to be trifled with.
Far away, many guards were watching Wu Yuan closely from a distance.
