The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 645: Desperate
Chapter 645 Risking Life
Li Mao also hurriedly walked to Lu Xiang’s side and bowed to the Grand Princess’ carriage. While bending down and looking down, Li Mao said to Lu Xiang: “The Grand Princess came out safely. It seems that… the situation in the palace has been determined.”
Prime Minister Lu did not say anything, but Li Mao was secretly guessing in his heart, wondering whether the Princess Zhenguo had done a meritorious service this time… or had done a meritorious service in following the emperor.
Wei Zhong, who was driving the carriage, turned around and said something to the Grand Princess in the carriage.
The eldest princess closed her eyes and fiddled with the Buddhist beads hidden in her sleeves. Her voice was filled with fatigue. “No need to stop the car. The carriage of Master Tan is right behind us. Let Master Tan explain to the officials. We will return to the palace.”
The eldest princess is tired, maybe because she is too old and lacks physical strength…
The heart is extremely tired.
The carriage of the old imperial tutor Tan followed closely behind. The eunuchs in the palace held an umbrella and helped the old imperial tutor Tan down from the carriage. Lu Lian hurried forward and said, “Old imperial tutor, is your majesty okay?”
“Old Imperial Tutor! How is His Majesty?” Li Mao also hurried forward, wanting to know whether the emperor was dead or not.
But in the blink of an eye, the officials surrounding the Wude Gate surrounded the old imperial advisor Tan.
“Everyone! Everyone…” The old Imperial Master Tan said in a powerful and aged voice, “Everyone, rest assured. Thanks to the timely rescue of Princess Zhenguo and General Fu, your majesty and the crown prince are safe! There was a commotion at Wude Gate today. Your majesty asks everyone to return home first and attend the court tomorrow morning.”
Fu Ruoxi?! Li Mao’s eyebrows twitched.
“Yes!” Lu Xiang bowed sincerely and said yes.
“Prime Minister Lu, Prime Minister Li, Lord Shen Jingzhong, the Minister of War, Lord Lu, the Minister of the Supreme Court, your Majesty is unwell and will hand over the government to the Crown Prince from now on. The Crown Prince has ordered… Please go to the Crown Prince’s Mansion. After the affairs in the palace are completed, Your Highness will immediately return to the Crown Prince’s Mansion to discuss the aftermath of this matter with the four adults…” said the old imperial teacher Tan again.
“I obey your command!” Prime Minister Lu said hurriedly.
“I obey your command…”
As soon as Li Mao, Minister of War Shen Jingzhong, and Lu Jin finished speaking, the prison car holding the main culprit of the treason was escorted out of the Wude Gate by heavy troops.
Some of the imperial guards cursed at Bi Heng, wondering why their act of rescuing the emperor had turned into treason. However, Bi Heng kept silent, and just covered his chest which was bleeding continuously, leaning back in the prison car with a pale face.
The generals of the Southern Army…some are ready to die, some are as cautious as frost-bitten eggplants…they only hope that their nine clans will not be implicated this time.
King Liang was also thrown into the prison cart, crying and shouting that he was deceived by King Xian and knew nothing.
As soon as the prison cart came out of Wude Gate, King Liang saw Li Mingrui following closely behind Li Mao.
Prince Liang reached out his hand from the prison car and called Li Mingrui’s name: “Mingrui! Mingrui, save me! Please go and talk to my father. I really don’t know anything. I really thought I was going to the palace to save my father and my brother, the crown prince! Mingrui, believe me! Even if I have the courage of heaven, I dare not rebel and kill my father! Mingrui…you and I are very close friends, you know what kind of person I am!”
Li Mingrui lowered his head and his palms clenched. In public, no matter what, Prince Liang was still a prince. With the emperor’s temperament, if he ignored Prince Liang in public, the emperor would make his father Li Mao pay.
Li Mingrui hurriedly bowed in the direction of King Liang: “Your Highness, please be at ease. His Majesty is wise and powerful. If Your Highness is truly wronged, His Majesty will certainly give Your Highness justice!”
After saying that, Li Mingrui bowed to King Liang again.
“Bah!” The fearless Southern Army commander spat at Prince Liang, “Coward! When Prince Xian led his army into the palace to help you ascend the throne, weren’t you in favor? Weren’t you worried that the Princess Zhenguo would bring the Anping army outside the city back to the capital, so you asked Prince Xian to send troops to the Bai Mansion to capture the women of the Bai Mansion… to threaten the Princess Zhenguo in case of an accident? Now that Prince Xian has died for you, you put all the blame on him?! Dream on! You don’t even consider whether our Southern Capital Army agrees or not! Bah! Coward!”
“Brothers!” The commander of the Southern Capital gritted his teeth and said to the generals who were looking at the Southern Capital, “Even if we die, we must die like men! When we started the rebellion with Prince Xian, we knew that if we succeeded, we would be granted a title, but if we failed, our families would be destroyed! It’s just a risk of life! If we lose the bet… we must be able to afford it! We must lose… with dignity! Don’t learn from Prince Liang, he’s such a coward!”
General Xiao Wang was also in the prison car. He looked at King Liang who was still crying and shouting that he knew nothing. He couldn’t help but think of Liu Ruofu. He didn’t expect that their princess would marry such a loser!
Their uprising has failed now, but I hope that Prince Xian’s people have heard the news and sent Liu Ruofu out of the capital city for refuge!
If not…
General Xiao Wang looked at Prince Liang, who was in tears. If Prince Liang really didn’t know that Prince Xian was plotting a rebellion, the Emperor would be able to spare Prince Liang’s life. Naturally, he would also spare Liu Ruofu’s life because she was pregnant with the royal family’s child.
Otherwise, Liu Ruofu and the baby in her womb would probably not survive.
Inside the huge prison car, except for General Xiao Wang, all other generals were filled with righteous indignation. The dying men did not care whether King Liang was still a prince or not, and cursed King Liang, a liar and opportunist.
Only when he heard the crying of Prince Liang and the cursing of General Nandu fade away did Li Mingrui stand up and tighten his hands hidden in his official robe.
King Liang just said that they have a close relationship, and this is a threat…
This means that he has handwritten letters between his father and the second prince.
Li Mingrui gritted his teeth. The fire in Prince Liang’s mansion… was not able to burn all the letters.
And up to now, a Princess Zhenguo and a Prince Liang have both claimed to have letters in their hands.
Now it seems that they can no longer rely on luck and search slowly. Li Mingrui decides to meet with Princess Bai Qingyan in person. As long as he can confirm that his father’s handwritten letter is really in the hands of Princess Zhenguo, it will not be a bad thing for their Li family to join the prince’s school.
Li Mingrui looked towards Wude Gate and waited for this matter to be settled!
After their Li Mansion’s strategist Cai Ziyuan went to Shuoyang to admit his mistake, he completely lost contact with the family and no one knew where Cai Ziyuan had gone.

Yongding Gate.
Liu Hong stood on the high wall, with the archers beside him ready. He looked at the rebel prisoners who were standing under the high wall, looking around and waiting for the Yongding Gate to open, and his hands at his sides tightened.
The emperor ordered Liu Hong to kill the more than 10,000 rebels silently inside the palace gates and then deal with them quietly.
Liu Hong pleaded for mercy, but the emperor said…If a soldier is disloyal once, he will never be used again. Soldiers who are useless are a waste of Jin’s food and money.
Originally, Liu Hong wanted to plead for mercy again, but the emperor was determined and shouted to kill at the top of his lungs. The prince also chimed in and told Liu Hong not to disobey the emperor again. So Liu Hong had no choice but to come out of the hall.
