"Yes... the old lady just brought a lot of people into the princess's yard and asked the princess to go to the eighth prince to plead guilty... The princess was unwilling to argue with the old lady for a few words... the old... the old lady had the princess **** and said You want to be taken to the Eighth Prince to plead guilty." Cui'er finished intermittently with a trembling voice.
Xu Hongwen’s head was pounding at that time: “How is that possible?”
His mother is always very obedient to Shuer, how could she dare to have someone kidnap her?
“Your Majesty, it’s true. I dare not lie. Your Majesty, please go and save the princess.”
Xu Hongwen pulled him hard with his hand: "Where is the person?"
"The old lady asked someone to **** the princess who had just been discharged from the hospital and headed towards the back garden..."
Xu Hongwen suddenly turned pale when he thought of the direction the Eighth Prince had just walked in. He dropped Cui Er and walked towards the left.
On the long corridor in the back, Xuchang walked in front to lead the way, turning around from time to time to introduce the surrounding furnishings.
I walked all the way from the front yard for about ten minutes. The nine-turn corridor seemed to have no end. Beyond the corridor was a garden rockery. There was also a river not far away. The river seemed to run through the entire mansion.
“Where does this river lead?” Ye Qianning asked.
Hearing this, Xuchang glanced in the direction of the river and said, "The river leading to the East Street in the city."
East Street?
Ye Qianning is very familiar with the streets of the capital. East Street is further forward, which is the back door of the General's Palace. The river actually leads directly to the Earl's Palace.
Xuchang smiled and continued walking forward, wondering what their meaning was?
In short, he felt that it was not simple. At least the eighth prince was definitely not here to visit the courtyard. However, he had never mentioned the assassination since he entered the palace, and he did not dare to ask.
“There are imperial edicts scattered all over the city. Did you find someone to do it?” Ye Qianning suddenly asked.
"kindness."
"Storytellers all over the city, how did you come up with this?" Ye Qianning was surprised when she heard the news. The imperial edict was revealed at the city gate, and what she wanted to do next was to make everyone aware of the edict.
When he asked Luo Wen to look for it, the imperial edict had already been taken away by Yingge. Yingge, like Du Yi, followed Sang Zhi, and she knew it was Sang Zhi who did it.
I didn't expect that he would move so quickly, and he would also find storytellers all over the city. From outside the city gate, you could faintly hear the sound of reading in the city.
It was an eye-opening experience upon entering the city. There were countless storytellers. People in the capital could hear what was written in the imperial edict without leaving their homes.
"It is said that the emperor has a golden tongue. He has written it but does not want to admit it. Is such a person worthy of sitting here?" Sang Zhi said.
“Those who go back on their word are indeed unworthy.” Ye Qianning nodded.
As the two asked and answered questions, Xuchang's steps were heavy and his heart was pounding. What did he hear?
They discussed this openly, they really didn’t treat him as an outsider!
Does the Eighth Prince want to...want to rebel?
God, he must tell the emperor earlier, otherwise... tsk...
Xuchang sweated on his forehead, and suddenly he thought, if the Eighth Prince could say so blatantly, did he not intend to keep him alive?
“Have you seen the twelve people hanging at the city gate?” Ye Qianning asked again.
This question almost frightened Xuchang to death again. His heart was beating so hard that his back was straight and he did not dare to look back.
“They are just soldiers and generals. I am not interested in seeing them. The people behind them are important.” Sang Zhi said lightly.
"Those people are all from the Earl's Mansion." Ye Qianning said, and then asked Xuchang in front: "Does the Earl know?"
