Bai Qingyan paused and looked at Fan Yuhuai. Fan Yuhuai felt guilty and said hurriedly, “Your Highness has received news that the traitor Bi Heng has brought the imperial guards to the palace under the banner of saving His Majesty and the Queen, and is fighting fiercely with the imperial guards guarding the palace at Wude Gate.”
“Old Imperial Master Tan is worried that if the rebels fail to capture the imperial city, they will turn around and attack the Crown Prince’s residence, and His Royal Highness will be in danger, so he is leading the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess into the palace first under the protection of the patrol battalion!”
Seeing Bai Qingyan turned around to face him, Fan Yuhuai continued, “Before leaving, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Old Imperial Preceptor Tan have already ordered people to go to the Princess Zhenguo’s residence… to tell Princess Zhenguo to leave the city from the east gate and take 20,000 soldiers from the Anping Camp to eliminate the rebels outside the palace! Princess Zhenguo, don’t worry… The east gate has been completely controlled by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince’s people. Old Imperial Preceptor Tan also ordered me to temporarily lead the patrol battalion to guard the Crown Prince’s residence, to give Prince Xin and others the illusion that the Crown Prince is still in the Crown Prince’s residence, and when the news of the Crown Prince entering the palace comes, then immediately go to Prince Xin’s residence to capture Prince Xin!”
“There has been no movement in Prince Xin’s mansion for so many days. If my guess is correct, Prince Xin is not in Prince Xin’s mansion and has entered the palace long ago!” Bai Qingyan’s face was gloomy, “The Crown Prince entering the palace at this time is like a sheep walking into a tiger’s mouth! And if Prince Xin kills His Majesty… he can also frame His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! He can be said to be the hero who entered the palace to save the emperor, and the Crown Prince will have no excuse!”
Fan Yuhuai’s face changed drastically, and he said hurriedly: “Calculate the time… It should still be in time to send someone to chase after them!”
The lanterns hanging high in the corridor of the Prince’s Mansion swayed, and the dim light reflected Bai Qingyan’s fair and stunning features. She raised her eyes and looked at Fan Yuhuai calmly: “Don’t panic, Lord Fan. This is an extraordinary period. You must not act rashly! Who is the commander of the imperial guards guarding the imperial city today?”
After thinking for a while, Fan Yuhuai said, “It seems to be a young general…his name is Min what? Oh…that’s right! It’s Min Zhongxin!”
“Min Zhongxin, like Bi Heng, has a life-and-death relationship with Zhong Shaozhong!” Bai Qingyan closed his eyes and said, “It seems that they staged an attack on the city just to lure His Royal Highness the Crown Prince into the palace so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can bear the crime of patricide!”
Fan Yuhuai looked at Bai Qingyan who was calm and composed, and was a little unsure: “Min Zhongxin is just a small-time general. How could he have any contact with Zhong Shaozhong? Maybe Min Zhongxin has a sense of justice in his heart and knows that Prince Xin and Zhong Shaozhong are plotting a rebellion, so…”
After saying this, Fan Yuhuai clenched his fists and said, “Even if there is a possibility, we cannot risk the prince’s safety. I will send someone to call the prince back to the prince’s mansion!”
Fan Yuhuai didn’t know if this matter was excusable, but Bai Qingyan knew it clearly after experiencing his previous life.
This is often the case with chess games. Don’t underestimate that small and inconspicuous chess piece. Sometimes, if it is arranged early, it can have earth-shaking power.
Bai Qingyan shook his head: “Zhong Shaozhong is meticulous and always leaves room for maneuvers. He dared to make such a big fuss, and he must have relied on more than just the imperial guards! In addition to sending secret guards to monitor the movements of the gates of the Crown Prince’s Mansion, Prince Xin and Zhong Shaozhong could not have been unaware of the movements of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It is even more likely that Zhong Shaozhong had already planted a secret line around His Royal Highness the Crown Prince many years ago… around the princes who might compete for the position of Crown Prince, just waiting for a crisis like today!”
“If the prince returns… he will definitely be killed on the way. Once the prince is dead, they will kill Your Majesty and pin the crime of regicide on the prince! Min Zhongxin will then declare to the public that the prince was originally in the palace. The winner will be the king and the loser will be the bandit… Your Majesty, the prince is dead, so who will care whether it was the prince who committed regicide!”
Fan Yuhuai was sweating coldly: “I will lead the patrol battalion to escort the prince back to the palace!”
Bai Qingyan still shook his head: “The key lies in whether Min Zhongxin… is Zhong Shaozhong’s man. If he is! Then… if you lead the patrol battalion to escort the prince back to the palace, Prince Xin kills His Majesty in the palace, Min Zhongxin will claim that the prince killed His Majesty and be discovered by Prince Xin, and escape from the palace, and together with Bi Heng will encircle and suppress the prince. By then, not only the prince… but also the patrol battalion will be considered as traitors!”
The right and wrong in this world are often decided by the winner.
The winner takes it all, that’s the truth.
Zhong Shaozhong’s plan was very clever. He wanted the crown prince to bear the crime of patricide and regicide, and pushed Prince Xin to ascend the throne with honor.
What a pity, no matter how smart you are… you are just helping others.
“So the most important thing this time is to protect His Majesty’s safety at all costs! Then… the patrol battalion led by Lord Fan must enter the palace! If the order Min Zhongxin received is to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince enter the palace, it would be easy to handle! Lord Fan will lead all the patrol battalion troops to catch up with the Crown Prince now, and enter the palace with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and tell the Crown Prince… If the soldiers guarding the city do not allow the patrol battalion to enter the palace, then the Crown Prince will wait outside the city and will never enter the palace! Wait for Bai Qingyan to bring 20,000 soldiers from the Anping camp to rush in, and then rush into the palace together!”
“If you enter the palace smoothly, I’m sure Min Zhongxin will accuse the prince of treason and regicide, and go into the palace with Bi Heng to capture the prince! Lord Fan, don’t hesitate, there’s no need to protect the prince and turn around, go straight to His Majesty’s bedroom, no matter what, you must take the patrol battalion to guard His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince! Bai Qingyan will definitely eliminate the rebels as soon as possible and save His Majesty and the Prince! As long as His Royal Highness the Prince can protect His Majesty, "
After Bai Qingyan finished speaking, he clasped his fists towards Fan Yuhuai and said calmly, “If Lord Fan trusts me, then immediately lead the patrol battalion and the remaining prince’s guards in the mansion to catch up with His Highness!”
Fan Yuhuai barely hesitated. With Bai Qingyan’s military exploits in the battles of Southern and Northern Xinjiang, Fan Yuhuai believed Bai Qingyan: “Princess Zhenguo, rest assured. Fan Yuhuai and the patrol battalion swear to protect your majesty and the crown prince until the death!”
After saying that, Fan Yuhuai tightly gripped the sword at his waist and loudly ordered the patrol battalion to follow him and quickly chase after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
Bai Qingyan watched Fan Yuhuai and the patrol battalion rushing towards the palace, and he clenched his fists behind his back…
After the Crown Prince entered the palace, upon learning of the Crown Prince’s entry, Prince Xian would certainly wait until the fight between the Crown Prince and Prince Xin’s men was almost over before he would order the Nandu soldiers to take action.
But if that happens, the prince and the emperor in the palace will be in danger.
Although their safety is not important to Bai Qingyan, the stability of the Bai family now depends on the prince and the emperor. Apart from the prince… no matter whether it is Prince Liang or Prince Xin who ascends the throne, it will not be a good thing for the Bai family.
What the Bai family needs most right now is time and stability to gradually become stronger.
This is why Bai Qingyan pretended to submit to the prince.
Bai Qingyan thought of what Fan Yuhuai had said just now, that the East Gate had been completely controlled by the prince’s men, and that the general who had led his troops to the Princess Zhenguo’s mansion just now said… Prince Xin had ordered that anyone who could kill her would be rewarded with a hundred gold coins and given a title. He was pretending quite well, and his words were pure and elegant.
