Chapter 686 - 686 Confrontation
?Chapter 686: Confrontation Chapter 686: Confrontation Editor: Atlas Studios The interior and exterior of High Sage Temple were under martial law.
The Gao family’s army had already surrounded High Sage Temple, so Qi Haoran mixed in the crowd to admire the majestic temple.
Now, even the ordinary people knew that the Gao family wanted to replace the Duan family.
Of course, the Gao family also had a legitimate-sounding excuse, which was that they were arresting the culprits who murdered the Crown Prince—the Empress and the Eldest Princess.
Regardless of whether everyone believed it or not, the Gao family did come up with a very righteous and noble reason to rebel.
The Crown Prince of Dali was the Emperor’s nephew and the Eldest Princess’s cousin.
He had been brought up in the palace since he was young.
When the Eldest Princess came of age last year, the Emperor officially conferred his nephew the title of Crown Prince last year.
However, in less than a year, the Crown Prince fell off his horse and died.
Before the Crown Prince’s funeral, General Gao brought soldiers to storm the palace and asked the Emperor to hand over the Eldest Princess and the Empress who had caused the death of the Crown Prince.
With the eldest princess missing, the Emperor and Empress temporarily hid in High Sage Temple under the protection of the guards.
On the surface, the Gao family looked like they were seeking justice for the Crown Prince, but even ordinary people knew that this was just an excuse.
There was no such thing as a female monarch in Dali.
Besides, the eldest princess and the Crown Prince had grown up together since they were young, and they had always been on good terms.
