Seeing that the third faction consisted of either Prince Jing's and Long Yisi's followers, the ones colluding with Prince Hui according to the list, or die-hard elements, and that their numbers were very few, the Emperor was as clear-minded as a mirror and remained very firm in his stance, he ordered the execution of anyone who dared submit a petition to kill the Crown Princess Consort.
Seeing that they could not change the Emperor's mind, those people shifted their attention to the Crown Prince Mansion.
He Junyuan led the guards of the mansion to block them all at the great gate, with each guard's face set in a deadly serious expression and knives and swords in their hands flashing with a chilling and sharp light.
Having no other choice, those people knelt outside the great gate, crying out righteously, pleading with Yang Mengchen to commit suicide for the sake of the Dongchu people, to preserve his loyalty and integrity.
