Chapter 436: Chapter 316: A Matter of Life and Death (Requesting Monthly Votes) _3
Jin Bao urged, "Why are you still dawdling? Hurry up! The Emperor’s safety is paramount, do you have multiple heads to dare delay!"
The two immediately turned and left.
Xu Yin retracted his gaze and said to Consort Li, "There is about to be chaos in the palace, your significance to His Highness is enormous.
"If by any chance you fall into Pei Zei’s hands, you will become a living target and hinder the Crown Prince, thus Consort, you must devise a foolproof plan!"
Consort Li, a young woman of the inner palace, had only ever experienced the fierce battles within the Eastern Palace’s concubines. Hearing this, a tinge of bewilderment flashed across her face. She looked at Jin Bao, "You’re in charge here. I’ll take the Imperial Grandson to the Li family for safety!"
Jin Bao was troubled, "But at such a critical moment, I can’t spare the manpower to escort the Consort!"
Xu Yin said, "Currently, no one outside the palace knows of Pei Zhan’s and the other’s treasonous acts, we must release this news immediately to restore order!
"We cannot delay any longer, I must leave the palace at once! Consort, you can leave with me, I can escort you to the Li family! But the Imperial Grandson need not come, he’s too young to be tended to on the road!"
The Imperial Grandson was born of Consort Yu, and Consort Li had little genuine affection for him.
At this moment, she wished all the more to quickly distance herself from this place!
Hearing this, she readily agreed, "Vice Minister Xu has thought this through! Quickly fetch the Crown Prince’s Jade Token, we shall exit from the Donghua Gate nearby!..."
...
Fu Zhen stood outside the Great Zhou Gate, squinting at the bright sun above, her fingers combing the mane of the horse beside her one by one.
Waiting in Prince Rong’s Mansion for Liang Chen to arrive, after exchanging information, Liang Chen led Prince Rong, his family, Yongping’s mother and son, Tie Ying, and others into the palace. She then made some arrangements and found Pei Yu before arriving under the palace walls.
According to Liang Chen’s account of the situation in Qianqing Palace, it was not hard to deduce that the Crown Prince felt he had strong backing. Meanwhile, Xu Yin had already colluded with the Crown Prince, these two were plotting to resist together.
But even if Prince Rong’s family and Tie Ying could thoroughly incriminate the Crown Prince and Xu Yin, the Crown Prince could handle it calmly, and Xu Yin dared to enter the palace; it was clear they had a contingency plan.
At this juncture, once the grass is cut, the roots must be removed.
No participant must be spared.
The most effortless way, of course, is to give them a chance to reveal all their cards.
With Pei Zhan and Liang Chen by the Emperor and Empress’s sides, their safety shouldn’t be an issue.
As for how the outside of the palace should cooperate, it would be up to Pei Yu, Du Mingqian’s father Du Xun, and Cheng Chili’s father Cheng Shaoshi to decide.
Fu Zhen expressed a desire to watch the spectacle, Pei Yu initially refused, but after watching her complete a full set of martial arts, he had no objections.
Now it had been over an hour since Liang Chen entered the palace, yet the gates remained eerily quiet.
If it weren’t for the from the Commander of Forbidden Guards, who was dispatched to Qianqing Palace for updates, saying that the Forbidden Guards Commander Li Yao and Li Yu, who had taken over the morning shift, led two teams to Qianqing Palace to "protect the Emperor," who would know that on this seemingly ordinary summer day, a severe power struggle was unfolding?
"Protect the Emperor"? They really have the audacity!
It’s just that without a signal from Pei Zhan and the others, Pei Yu and his allies, despite their seething hatred, could only wait anxiously here for now.
"That useless Crown Prince, can’t even die properly, making me sweat under this blazing sun, I’ve nearly gotten a heatstroke!"
Clad in golden armor with a large sword at his waist, Pei Yu cursed and swore as he led Liang Zhi and Du Mingqian over.
Fu Zhen stood straight, quickly instructing Guo Song behind her, "Send some people to carry a few barrels of ice drinks here! And get some small stools, a few small tables! Let the Great General and others take a rest!"
Turning back, she asked, "Is everything arranged under the city gate? Are you certain no information will leak into the palace and alert the Crown Prince and Xu Yin of our plans?"
Though outwardly relaxed, who could truly be at ease?
If anything happens to the Emperor, the Great Zhou would undergo yet another upheaval.
The prosperous era that the court and the public hope for, who knows when it might be realized.
Moreover, with the Crown Prince turning out to be so corrupt, it ultimately undermines the dignity of the Imperial Family, requiring the people to expend more effort for appeasement.
At this moment, there is absolutely no room for error.
"Rest assured! Does Uncle Pei ever do things unreliably?" Liang Zhi said with hands on his hips, "I guarantee that as long as we do not agree, not even a fly can enter or leave this palace!"
Fu Zhen agreed with this statement.
She pondered for a moment and added, "Has the Defense Bureau checked how the Li brothers coincidentally happened to be on duty?"
