The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 636: no way no money
Chapter 636: The End of the Road
The civil officials were extremely flattering, and the military generals were afraid to fight.
The greatest support of the Jin State, which once dominated the other nations, was the Duke of Zhenguo!
When my father was alive, he once said…the Duke Zhenguo Mansion is the backbone of the Great Jin Kingdom!
The word “guarding the country” is not something an ordinary family can afford.
Now… Jin State no longer has a Duke who guards the State, and no longer has generals and soldiers from the Bai family who are willing to sacrifice their lives for Jin State.
Southern Xinjiang and Northern Xinjiang have reached the point where her granddaughter is needed to run around and provide support in order to win.
If her granddaughter was no longer there, the State of Jin would surely decline, and even perish after a hundred years…
The eldest princess suddenly felt a sense of desolation and hopelessness.
But what can she do? Could it be that she will become the next Duke of Zhenguo, the next target feared by the king and criticized by the court officials?
She is already buried in the earth up to her neck. She can only try her best to protect the Great Jin Dynasty for her father and brother before she closes her eyes. After she closes her eyes… she will have the dignity to see her father and brother again!
As for how the State of Jin would change after her death… she could no longer care, even if… her granddaughter wanted to rebel against the Lin imperial power.
The eldest princess closed her eyes, scrolled the Buddhist beads in her hand, and listened to the heavy rain outside that kept washing over the high steps of the palace, and the shouts and screams mixed in with the rain and wind.
Suddenly, a guard of the Imperial Army rushed up from below the high rank, knelt outside the palace, clasped his fists and said to the Grand Princess: “Grand Princess, Fan Yuhuai of the Patrol Battalion is escorting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince into the palace to protect him! The Patrol Battalion is fighting desperately with the Imperial Army led by Prince Xin!”
The Grand Princess stood up upon hearing the news, and soon another Imperial Guard rushed up the steps, clasped his fists and knelt in front of the Grand Princess: “Reporting to the Grand Princess, the Imperial Guard commander Min Zhongxin who is guarding the Wude Gate said that the Crown Prince led the patrol battalion to force the palace to kill Your Majesty, and has already opened the palace gate and is heading towards Your Majesty’s bedroom with the rebels!”
The eldest princess tightly grasped the dragon-headed cane in her hand, hurriedly took a few steps outside, and looked into the distance with cloudy vision… She saw Fan Yuhuai carrying the prince on his back, who looked pale… and could not open his eyes due to the rain. Quan Yu carried the crown princess on his back, and rushed straight to the high steps under the protection of the patrol battalion.
The elderly Imperial Master Tan was also carried by the strong soldiers. Even Old Man Fang was shaken dizzy. He wrapped his arms tightly around the soldiers’ necks and kept shouting, “Hurry up!”
“Let the archers prepare to support the prince into the palace!” the eldest princess said loudly.
Suddenly, Gao Demao’s sharp and surprised cry came from the hall: “Your Majesty is awake! Your Majesty is awake!”
The imperial physician knelt hurriedly in front of the emperor’s bed and took his pulse.
The eldest princess turned around and looked into the swaying curtains with cold eyes… It would be better not to wake up at this time! When the emperor heard that Prince Liang had colluded with his legitimate son and the queen to frame him and instigated Prince Xin and the queen to rebel, he would be the one to take advantage of the situation. I’m afraid he would wish to sleep forever!
The prince, who looked like a drowned rat, was carried up the stairs by the breathless Fan Yuhuai. When he was put down, his legs almost weakened and he could not stand.
The arrow shot by Prince Xin just now…just brushed past his ear. If he hadn’t been lucky, his body would have been frozen by the heavy rain.
As soon as Quan Yu put the Crown Princess down, she fell to the ground, her thighs trembling, her hands covering her abdomen and crying out in pain.
“Quick! Help the Crown Princess in to warm her up, and ask the imperial physician to treat her!” the eldest princess said hurriedly.
The prince came back to his senses and nodded to the Grand Princess: “Grand Princess…”
Master Tan got off the soldier’s back and saluted to the Grand Princess: “Grand Princess!”
“Your Highness, please go in and see His Majesty! He is awake!” The Grand Princess turned around and told Nanny Jiang, “Go and get some dry clothes for the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess, and Old Imperial Tutor Tan!”
When the prince heard this, he quickly pushed away Fan Yuhuai who was supporting him, cried out “Father”, and rushed into the hall.
Hearing the Crown Prince crying and telling the Emperor about Prince Xin’s rebellion, and how he had finally brought the patrol battalion into the palace to protect the Emperor, the Grand Princess looked at Fan Yuhuai, who was also soaked, and nodded, “Thank you for your hard work, Lord Fan! Lord Fan brought the patrol battalion here… it can still hold out for a while!”
Fan Yuhuai wiped the rain off his face with his hands and saluted to the Grand Princess: “Don’t worry, Grand Princess, the Zhenguo Princess has already said… I will defend the palace to the death. Before the Zhenguo Princess leads the 20,000 soldiers from the Anping Camp to rescue you, I will never let the rebels enter the palace! Please ask your Highness, the Grand Princess, and Old Imperial Preceptor Tan to go into the palace first to take shelter.”
When the eldest princess heard the words “Princess Zhenguo”, her eyes became hot, she clenched her cane tightly and nodded.
Fan Yuhuai clasped his fists and saluted the Grand Princess and the old Imperial Tutor Tan, then turned and rushed into the rain curtain, holding the sword at his waist tightly in his hands. He shouted loudly towards the steps, “Soldiers of the Patrol Battalion, today we will fight with the Imperial Guards for your Majesty and the Crown Prince! We swear to defend the palace to the death, and we must not let anyone break through! The Princess of Zhenguo has left the city and led 20,000 soldiers from the Anping Camp to rescue you! Even if she dies… we will use the bodies as a wall! We will stop those rebels outside the palace! It is said… The Princess of Zhenguo is the eldest daughter of the Zhenguo Palace! She was raised by Bai Weiting, the King of Zhenguo, who has never lost a battle in our Jin Kingdom! She is invincible in the southern and northern borders!”
“But are our Patrol Battalion and Imperial Guards vegetarians? No! We also eat meat! We have to kill a few more rebels before the Princess Zhenguo comes, so as to avoid being laughed at by the Princess Zhenguo and the brothers in the Anping Camp! They think that our Patrol Battalion and Imperial Guards are so used to the luxurious life in this big capital that they can’t even kill the enemy!”
The more tense the moment, the more relaxed a general should be in facing it, so that his soldiers will not be afraid.
As soon as Fan Yuhuai finished speaking, the high-ranking imperial guards and patrol soldiers raised their weapons and shouted three times…
“Kill the enemy!”
“Kill the enemy!”
“Kill the enemy!”
Prince Xin, who was still fighting with the patrol battalion that had been left behind, was holding a bloody blade in his hand and was thoroughly drenched by the heavy rain.
Hearing the sudden cessation of the fighting at Wude Gate, he raised his gloomy eyes through the rain curtain, glanced in the direction of the emperor’s bedroom, and said, “Retreat! Go and meet up with General Bi and General Min first!”
His uncle had taken great pains to pave this path for him. There was no turning back for him, and he was sure to win this battle!
When the dust settles, he will chop the prince into pieces piece by piece to see how he can compete with him for the throne.
The general guarding Prince Xin shouted loudly: “Retreat!”
·
In the heavy rain, as soon as the generals of Anping Camp came out of the Dali Temple, they heard that Princess Zhenguo asked them to go to the East Gate. After a moment’s thought, they knew that the 20,000 soldiers of Anping Camp were at the East Gate. Now that such a big thing had happened in the capital, Princess Zhenguo must have asked them to lead the troops to rescue the emperor.
