Chapter 1715: It’s Worth It!

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

She even said that she would rather die than see Xia Houzheng succeed in life, this treacherous official!

Seeing her daughter like this, the mother was still worried that something would happen to her daughter. She could not help but tear up.

Her daughter comforted her mother, saying that everyone had to die for the sake of righteousness. Even if she died, it was worth it.

The date set to retaliate within the walls fell on the ninth of July. On that day, the 600,000 soldiers that Xia Houzheng had sent out had also left for the border. Even if they learned of the situation in the capital, they wouldn’t be able to come back in time to help. Moreover, the army now resented Xia Houzheng. They felt that Xia Houzheng’s rewards and punishments were unfair and that he did things according to how he felt during that time instead of thinking of his people. Even if they rushed back later, no one would want to avenge Xia Houzheng once they realized he was dead.

As long as Xia Houzheng was killed, the trend would be reversed and the court would be in order. Their Emperor, Qu Xiao, would become the true ruler of Dongxiao.

Qu Xiao was their Emperor, the rightful successor. He had done nothing wrong to them and never had a hidden agenda. The power of Dongxiao should have been in his hands. Even if they had to sacrifice their bodies, they would not hesitate to ensure Qu Xiao’s victory.

On the night of the eighth of July, the concubine pretended to please Xia Houzheng. Xia Houzheng was very pleased and slept with her that night. The next morning, the concubine said that she wanted to see the flowers in the garden. She said that she had heard that the garden was much bigger than the garden at home, but she never had the chance to see it before. Moreover, she had always liked flowers, so this was nothing new to Xia Houzheng.

Xia Houzheng was still in high spirits, so he agreed without thinking. He treated the palace as his own home and took his concubine into the palace using a carriage.

Little did he know that the deputy commander had secretly killed the commander but lied that the commander was sick. The royal guards knew about it and wanted to fight back, so the deputy commander said that the treatment of the royal guards was getting worse by the day. Xia Houzheng would cripple the royal guards sooner or later and replace them with his own people. After all, Xia Houzheng did not value the royal guards that were meant to serve the Emperor, but he still made the royal guards work for him. We was having the best of both worlds!

Everyone in the royal guards felt that it was wrong to have an Emperor that did not care about his people. These guards that had these thoughts agreed to what the deputy commander said and chose to follow his lead instead and defect.

The deputy commander had the royal guards act as usual, patrolling the palace and guarding the palace gates. He also sent many royal guards to lie in ambush in the garden, waiting for Xia Houzheng to enter.

Naturally, there were also archers prepared on the rooftops, ensuring a birds eye view of things.

The Head of the Supreme Court had also arrived. He was also waiting in ambush in the dark.

After Xia Houzheng entered the palace, the palace doors closed as usual. The people who closed the doors all looked at each other. It was written in their eyes that the palace doors were closed and would not open unless Xia Houzheng died. Xia Houzheng did not notice anything odd about it eiher.

Someone was waiting outside the palace gate. When he saw Xia Houzheng enter the palace, he immediately reported to two people. One was to inform the generals guarding the gates to close the gates, and the other was to secretly send a group of guards and some troops to the regent’s residence. While surrounding the regent’s residence and ensuring that they can’t leave, they would also eliminate Xia Houzheng’s 10,000 troops in the city. @@novelbin@@

Xia Houzheng brought his concubine to the garden. Naturally, his concubine was able to see where the guards were lying in ambush. Although Xia Houzheng had some people protecting him, he was not on guard at all at the suspicious activity.

After enjoying the view for a while, the concubine tried to set the bait and pretended to chase after the butterfly as she entered the meadows.

Xia Houzheng laughed loudly, his mood became lighter.

It was also at this moment that arrows rained down. Xia Houzheng and the people protecting him were very alarmed. Although they quickly reacted and drew their swords to block the arrows, they could not bear the number of arrows coming down. The arrows were flying from all directions. They could block a few, but they could not block all of them. In the end, they were all shot into a bloody mess.

The concubine barely managed to escape as she was a little close to Xia Houzheng. Although her arm was injured, it was not a big deal. An arm injury was nothing compared to the death of Xia Houzheng.
