The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 835: arrange
Chapter 835 Arrangement
There was also the original commander of the imperial guards, Xie Yuchang. He was implicated in the Wude Gate Rebellion and was stripped of his official position by the emperor’s decree for failing to discipline his subordinates… and was left unemployed at home.
However, Xie Yuchang had been in charge of the Imperial Guards for many years, and even if he was dismissed, he still had a strong appeal among the Imperial Guards.
Perhaps, Xie Yuchang can help the prince survive.
Among the people Fan Yuhuai has won over, there are also people who were arranged by the eldest sister, but the prince must not know about these people, otherwise… when the capital city is pacified in the future, the prince will definitely be suspicious of the Bai family and the eldest sister.
At this time, Bai Jinxiu was caught in an even deeper problem. She didn’t know whether her elder sister wanted to help the prince ascend the throne, or… change the world.
Although the eldest sister never said it explicitly, Bai Jinxiu could vaguely sense that she intended to change the world. Her determination to unify the world was stronger than that of the Bai family’s ancestors. However, the prince was not an ambitious monarch.
If the monarch’s ambition is to defend the territory, then as a minister… you cannot have ambitions that are too lofty. If they are too lofty… you will be feared by the monarch. She believes that her elder sister understands this very well.
Therefore, Bai Jinxiu guessed that… her elder sister wanted to replace the Lin family’s imperial power.
Well, this time… the prince must die, but not too early. The crime of treason must be pinned on King Liang, and then they must fight each other in this big city until they are completely destroyed.

Prince Liang’s Mansion.
Prince Liang sat behind the desk, not at all like his usual cowardly self. He rested his elbows on the chair with his hands behind his back, and the half of his face illuminated by the candlelight looked cold and gloomy.
“It will take time for the military report to be transmitted from Liang State. With the speed at which the Princess Zhenguo is conquering cities and plundering territories, she may have already taken Jiangdu, Yangjiang… and even Yuegu and Hancheng!” Li Mingrui said in a deep voice, “Your Highness can’t delay any longer! Only when His Majesty and the Crown Prince die, Your Highness can legitimately ascend the throne. The Princess Zhenguo… or Liu Hong! They can only bow their heads and will not be able to cause any more trouble!”
As he spoke, Li Mingrui looked at Fan Yuhuai, who had lost an eye. “Before coming to Prince Liang’s Mansion, I had already sent someone to inform Lord Fan to replace all the soldiers guarding the capital with our own people. Your Highness… Now the Imperial Guards and half of the patrol battalions are in our hands, and the Princess Zhenguo and Liu Hong are out of reach. It’s time!”
Prince Liang stroked the armrest of the chair with his fingers. If Bai Qingyan had not been there during the last Wude Gate Rebellion, he would have been the emperor at this time.
Li Mingrui was right. Now the main force of the Jin army was in Liang, and at this time in the capital city… the imperial guards were in Fan Yuhuai’s hands, and Fan Yuhuai had also won over half of the patrol battalion. It could be said that the time was right, the place was right, and the people were right.
As he is of royal blood, as long as he settles the major issues at this time and the imperial edict is passed to Liu Hong and Bai Qingyan, the overall situation will be settled.
Otherwise, if Liu Hong and Bai Qingyan bring their troops back before the task is accomplished, it will be too late.
After the last Wude Gate Rebellion, even if there was a favored concubine in the Liang Palace who spoke well of him, his father’s trust in him was far less than before. If he did not take this opportunity to launch a mutiny, it would be difficult for him to ascend to the supreme throne again.
Having made up his mind, King Liang looked up at Fan Yuhuai and said, “Then, I’ll leave everything to you, Lord Fan!”
“Don’t worry, Your Highness Prince Liang!” Fan Yuhuai bowed to Prince Liang.
Li Mingrui smiled. “Lord Fan is the hero who saved the emperor during the Wude Gate Rebellion. If Lord Fan claims that… the crown prince has imprisoned your majesty and is holding the emperor hostage to command the world, the imperial guards will definitely believe it! When His Royal Highness Prince Liang ascends the throne… Lord Fan will be the great general who protects the country of our Jin State!”
It is a well-known fact that the emperor has been addicted to elixirs and has not attended court for a long time, leaving all state affairs to the crown prince.
Fan Yuhuai blushed at what Li Mingrui said, nodded, and bowed to King Liang: “I will arrange it now!”
“Before tomorrow’s morning court session, the Crown Prince will definitely go to the palace to pay his respects to His Majesty, and then preside over the morning court session…” Li Mingrui looked at Prince Liang, “Once the Crown Prince has entered the palace, His Majesty Prince Liang will give the order, and we will arrest the Crown Prince and charge him with regicide!”
“Sir Fan, follow the plan!” King Liang said to Fan Yuhuai.
Fan Yuhuai stood up and bowed: “Don’t worry, Your Highness!”
Fan Yuhuai came out of Prince Liang’s study, his brows full of excitement. Prince Liang ascended the throne… and he was the general who protected the country!
His fists were clenched at his side. During the Wude Gate Rebellion… The Grand Princess once said that His Majesty would not forget that Lord Fan risked his life to save the emperor and that he would be rewarded handsomely! She also said that he had a promising future.
But he fought for his life and lost an eye before he got the position of commander of the imperial guards from the emperor. Fan Yuhuai was not convinced, but he had to pretend to be happy to accept it.
He was loyal to the crown prince, and he thought it would be difficult for him to make a name for himself in this life. However, the King of Liang was also the heir of the emperor… As long as the King of Liang ascended the throne, he, the one who protected the King of Liang, would definitely be reused! It was just around the corner for him to bring glory to the Fan family.

After watching Shen Baizhong leave with his mother and Wang Ge’er at the side door of Princess Zhenguo’s mansion, Bai Jinxiu asked the guards of Princess Zhenguo’s mansion to send Nanny Luo to Qin’s mansion, while she rode quickly to the Prince’s mansion.
On the way to the Prince’s Mansion, Bai Jinxiu passed by Xie’s Mansion and happened to meet Xie Yuchang who had just returned from outside…
When Xie Yuchang heard Bai Jinxiu say that Fan Yuhuai and Li Mingrui followed Prince Liang and might want to kill the crown prince and force him to abdicate and usurp the throne, Xie Yuchang did not show any surprise.
Xie Yuchang bowed to Bai Jinxiu and said, “To be honest, Madam Qin, a subordinate of the Imperial Guards who has a close relationship with me once came to Xie’s house and told me about this matter.”
“Commander Xie was implicated in the Wude Gate Rebellion and has been unemployed at home until now. It is said that heroes emerge in troubled times. Although this time is a crisis for the capital city, it is also an opportunity… It is an opportunity for Commander Xie to redeem himself and make meritorious contributions. Commander Xie… As long as you can protect the prince, Commander Xie will be a great hero!” Bai Jinxiu said calmly to Xie Yuchang.
Looking at Bai Jinxiu, the second daughter of the Bai family, Xie Yuchang thought of Princess Zhenguo. If the women from other families heard about this, they would probably be panicked!
By the way…the second young lady of the Bai family also fought in the battlefield with the King of Zhen Kingdom. The women of the Bai family are all extraordinary!
Xie Yu pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, tightened his fists, and said hesitantly: “I just don’t know… whether the prince is still willing to use me!”
“This is easy to do. If General Xie Yuchang is willing to protect the prince, go to the imperial guards and gather his old subordinates! This must be done in secret!” Bai Jinxiu tightened her grip, “If I am right… Prince Liang, Li Mingrui, Fan Yuhuai and others may take action at night.”
Xie Yu nodded: “They must have heard the news that the Princess Zhenguo is about to capture Hancheng. They are afraid that if the Princess Zhenguo, Princess Gaoyi and General Liu return with their troops, they will no longer have a chance!”
The third update! The capital city is in such a mess, let’s see how the second girl paves the way for the eldest sister…
