“Stop them! Stop those heading toward His Majesty!”
“Kill them!! If we’re caught, it’s over!”
“Kuaaak—!”
The front of the Supreme Harmony Hall instantly became a scene of chaos. Consort Suk’s face turned pale as she watched.
‘Not yet…’
Her older brother’s army hadn’t even entered Chengdu yet. It was true that a rebellion had been prepared. But they hadn’t expected the emperor to declare the rebellion so quickly.
Originally, the Brocade Guards were supposed to buy time until the rebel army entered Chengdu and advanced toward the imperial palace.
‘At this rate, we can’t hold out…’
“Kill the eunuchs! Secure His Majesty on our side!”
The Commander of the Brocade Guards shouted at the soldiers. Consort Suk’s gaze grew a little calmer as she watched him lead the charge.
‘No, there’s no need to be anxious.’
Wasn’t the Commander of the Brocade Guards one of the ten great masters, said to be the strongest in the imperial palace? Among the imperial soldiers, there was no one who could stop him.
‘Perhaps…’
It might even be possible to capture the emperor before the rebels arrived. If only they could seize the emperor.
‘Finally, that woman…’
“Do not fall back! The Eastern Depot is all talk, nothing but a rabble! Push them back!”
Hwoong— Sseogak! Chwak!
“Kek!”
“Kuaaak!”
