The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 621: Let it go
Chapter 621 Let it be
“Everyone!” Zhong Shaozhong’s expression was solemn and firm. “Everyone, think about it carefully. The Queen is the mother of Prince Xin, but isn’t she the mother of the legitimate child in her belly? The Queen is pregnant with a legitimate child now. If she really wants to be disloyal, she should wait until the legitimate child is born. If the legitimate daughter is not the legitimate son, then she should force the emperor to abdicate! Why did she not care about the flesh and blood in her belly, plot to make His Majesty fall from the horse, and have someone assassinate the prince, and support the ascension of Prince Xin, who has been abandoned by His Majesty?”
Seeing everyone frowning in deep thought, Zhong Shaozhong clapped his hands loudly, “This is neither reasonable nor logical, and it’s hard to explain to the world! Isn’t this… telling the world that Prince Xin is a traitor who plotted treason and usurped the throne and killed his father and brother? Is the queen so stupid?”
When the generals of the imperial guards heard what Zhong Shaozhong said, they all nodded and felt that it made sense.
“In order to prevent someone from harming Your Majesty before the Crown Prince returned, the Grand Princess guarded Your Majesty’s bedroom tightly. But now that the Crown Prince is back… the Grand Princess entered the palace at night to guard it tightly. Have you ever thought about why?” Zhong Shaozhong gritted his teeth, “It’s because the Grand Princess also saw that the Crown Prince wanted to harm Your Majesty! If Your Majesty dies, the Crown Prince can ascend the throne!”
Zhong Shaozhong was already choking up at this point: “If your Majesty dies, this patricide villain will ascend the throne. The Queen… and the legitimate child in the Queen’s belly, as well as Prince Xin, will probably all die! The Queen is my sister, and Prince Xin and the legitimate child in the Queen’s belly are my nephews! So… Zhong Shaozhong is begging you all here, please save your Majesty, save the Queen and Prince Xin… and the legitimate child in the Queen’s belly!”
After saying this, Zhong Shaozhong kowtowed to everyone.
Zhong Shaozhong’s old subordinates, you look at me and I look at you…
“I swear to follow Lord Zhong and protect His Majesty until death!” Someone bowed to Zhong Shaozhong.
Seeing someone respond, the others followed suit and clasped their fists: “We swear to follow Master Zhong until death and protect His Majesty!”
“Everyone, please stand up quickly!” Zhong Shaozhong helped his former subordinates up one by one, and then filled the wine glasses on the table with wine, and raised his glass, “Everyone… The safety of His Majesty, the Queen, and the baby in the Queen’s belly, is entrusted to you!”
“Lord Zhong, you are too polite. As subjects of the Great Jin, we naturally have to be loyal to Your Majesty. Now that the Crown Prince is planning to kill the king and rebel, we cannot just sit there and let it happen!” Someone raised his glass and said excitedly.
Zhong Shaozhong nodded, drank the wine in the cup, and said: “The prince is powerful, and the queen is weak. I asked you to come here this time, but it is just words without any evidence. You are willing to believe me. I am really grateful. After rescuing His Majesty and His Majesty wakes up… The queen and I will definitely ask for credit for you! I will never break my promise!”
“Master Zhong, since you said… the Grand Princess has entered the palace to prevent the Crown Prince from harming His Majesty, then shouldn’t… Master Zhong go to the Princess Zhenguo’s residence and ask for help? I heard that when the Grand Princess entered the palace, it was the Princess Zhenguo who sent her to the carriage. So… the Princess Zhenguo should also know the Crown Prince’s dirty thoughts.”
Someone would raise this question… Zhong Shaozhong has thought about it before, and he has already thought of the reasons very thoroughly.
Zhong Shaozhong sighed and said, “No matter how powerful the Princess Zhenguo is, she is only a woman, and now she has no military power, so she can’t help! If we rashly ask the Princess Zhenguo… I’m afraid it will cause trouble for her, and it will be easier to alert the enemy! Besides… Prince Xin didn’t know the seriousness of the matter back then. He fled in fear of death, and even falsely accused the King of Zhenguo, Bai Weiting, of being stubborn in his use of the army!”
Zhong Shaozhong closed his eyes with a face full of regret: “The Grand Princess is a noble lady of the royal family, the legitimate daughter of Emperor Wuxuan, and the aunt of the current emperor. Naturally, she is on the side of the royal family and hopes for a stable country! But the Zhenguo Princess is already a disciple of the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince wins this time, he can kill Prince Xin to avenge the King of Zhenguo, Bai Weiting, and be reused! I dare not go to find the Zhenguo Princess!”
“Master Zhong is right. The Princess Zhenguo will not betray the Grand Princess… because the Grand Princess is her grandmother! But the Queen’s legitimate son, Prince Xin, did frame the King Zhenguo! According to the marching records, all the men in the Bai family were forced into a dead end by Prince Xin. How could the Princess Zhenguo forget this grudge?”
“But the loyalty and bravery of Princess Zhenguo is evident to all heaven and earth! In southern Xinjiang, northern Xinjiang… wherever there is war, there is Princess Zhenguo! I don’t think Princess Zhenguo is such an unreasonable person!” some people also said.
“Forget it! If this thing succeeds, it’s fine. If it fails… we will all lose our heads. Why bother bringing Princess Zhenguo along! Maybe Princess Zhenguo doesn’t want to get involved in this matter at all! After all… she’s a girl!” someone else said.
As soon as the man finished speaking, the person Zhong Shaozhong had arranged to keep watch outside hurried in and said, “Sir, Commander Fan Yuhuai of the Patrol Battalion is leading his men this way!”
Zhong Shaozhong’s palms clenched, but he remained calm. Just as he expected, he was being monitored by the prince’s men. Fortunately, he had said everything he needed to say.
“Master Zhong!” Someone turned to look at Zhong Shaozhong, “What should we do? Why don’t we leave first!”
“It may be too late to leave now!” Zhong Shaozhong said, and ordered the person who came in to report the news, “Let the mother of this brothel bring the girls in!”
Zhong Shaozhong had been prepared. Even if the prince sent Fan Yuhuai to arrest them, what would happen? Who could stop people from coming to have a drink?
“Fan Yuhuai will come soon and bite us to death… Just tell him that I invited you to come here to celebrate my promotion! Don’t say anything else! Bi Heng… Go hide under the bed in the back to prevent us from being taken away. You can also go back to the Imperial Army camp to bring people to rescue us! We must not let others kill us all, otherwise who can save His Majesty! Save the Queen!”
“But if Bi Heng hides under the bed and is discovered…what should we do?!”
“We’re all sitting here, they won’t search us blatantly, just take off your clothes… and drink!”
After Zhong Shaozhong finished speaking, he sat down in the main seat with a calm and composed look. He took off his outer robe and untied the belt of his inner garment. This made everyone else feel at ease. They simply sat in their own seats, took off their robes as well, and waited for the brothel mother to bring the girls in.
When Fan Yuhuai and the patrol camp rushed into the brothel, Zhong Shaozhong and his group, each holding a girl in their arms, admired the singing and dancing of the thinly dressed girls in the brothel.
Seeing Fan Yuhuai, who was wearing armor and leading his troops, rushing in, Zhong Shaozhong, with his clothes open, quickly put down his wine glass and stood up: “Master Fan?! Why are you here?”
Zhong Shaozhong was tying the belt of his undershirt while walking towards Fan Yuhuai with a smile on his face. He staggered as if he was drunk and burped when he got in front of Fan Yuhuai: “It’s so late, Master Fan, are you…hunting down the fugitive?!”
Fan Yuhuai fanned away the smell of alcohol in his face, stared at Zhong Shaozhong, frowned, and took a step back.
