"I asked, and since yesterday, Li Yao, who was originally on night duty, has been reassigned to the morning shift. According to the rules, the brothers wouldn’t be scheduled to guard at the same time; however, the commander on duty suddenly fell ill. It just so happened that Li Yu had just finished his night shift and volunteered to take over."
This was the Crown Prince’s premeditated move. He indeed prepared in advance to confront his own father with weapons.
Fu Zhen looked at Du Mingqian: "You came here as well, so what about the He Family father and son?"
He Huan is manageable, but He Qunying is a madman. For family property and to fight against his own father, he had long since crossed the line.
Fu Zhen really couldn’t figure out what kind of trap Xu Yin would lay regarding him!
Du Mingqian said: "He Huan was personally taken by Uncle Pei, Uncle Cheng, and my father. After explaining the past events, He Huan didn’t faint on the spot!
"After returning, he took his guards and chased down He Qunying to tie him up! It turned out that He Qunying had long been colluding with Xu Yin. Xu Yin helped He Qunying with strategies to eliminate a few concubines’ sons in the inner courtyard, and He Qunying secretly took He Huan’s Token to mobilize troops from the three major camps in the Capital!"
Du Mingqian was firstly dealing with matters at Prince Rong’s Mansion and was later reassigned to handle the He Family’s affairs. Therefore, he knows the most about the subsequent incidents concerning the He Family.
Currently, there are still many former subordinates of the He Family in various camps. If the reason provided by He Qunying was justifiable—for instance, entering the palace to protect the emperor—then temporarily dispatching troops would not be impossible.
After listening, Fu Zhen still felt puzzled: "The military camps are all outside the city, so even if He Qunying managed to bring out a troop from the camp, how could they enter the city?
"The soldiers in the camps wouldn’t be easily deceived, would they really break into the city gates?"
"This is also what I don’t understand," said Du Mingqian, "according to He Qunying’s confession, Xu Yin only asked him to mobilize troops to guard the station entrance and had no intention of having them attack the city."
"Not planning to enter the city?"
Fu Zhen frowned at this.
Since last night at the pier, Xu Yin hadn’t had any chance to meet with He Qunying again.
After being summoned by the emperor into the palace, it was even more impossible for him to make contact.
What was He Qunying planning by moving the troops to the post road?
Thinking of this, she asked: "He Qunying wanting to mobilize troops—even if plotting against his father—it’s not something that can be done at any moment, right? When did he start working on it? Or rather, when did Xu Yin instruct him to act?"
"Naturally, it can’t be mobilized impulsively," Du Mingqian thought for a moment, "The He Family’s inner courtyard events started at dawn today, at least meaning Xu Yin helped He Qunying plan these before dawn.
"Moreover, He Qunying confessed that if he couldn’t mobilize troops from the Capital Camp, he planned to mobilize a large number of guards from the He Family instead!"
Fu Zhen retracted her gaze, remaining silent.
Last night Xu Yin and He Qunying were still at the Tongzhou Pier, meaning that after Tie Ying was intercepted at the pier, Xu Yin helped He Qunying orchestrate this move involving the He Family!
He Qunying not entering the palace and guarding the road implies he intends to occupy the passage.
At this time, the purpose of occupying the passage could only mean someone was going to pass through! And who else could it be but Xu Yin?
But in the early morning, Pei Zhan had not yet entered the palace, so had Xu Yin already arranged a retreat route by then?
This suggests that even before the palace situation became dire, he had already planned to retreat?
"Great General!"
At this moment, two guards hurried from the east to Pei Yu, saying: "There’s movement in the Eastern Palace, Consort Li is trying to leave the palace with the Crown Prince Token, and Xu Yin is with her!"
"Capture them!"
"Wait!" Fu Zhen immediately stepped forward, glanced eastward, and said, "Father, since your daughter-in-law has tracked Xu for so long, why not let me take the credit for this capture?"
"How could you possibly manage?" Pei Yu waved dismissively without even thinking, "You can’t fight them, just follow me and watch the commotion, you don’t need to worry about the battlefield matters!"
Fu Zhen smiled: "Father, looking down on us women like this, Mother might not agree if she hears it."
Pei Yu was momentarily speechless.
Fu Zhen drew a long sword from Guo Song’s waist and swiftly thrust it into a nearby thick tree trunk, then said: "With this martial art, I can absolutely protect myself.
"Additionally, I can pledge a military order—there will be no mistakes! If there is any error, I am willing to face military legal consequences!"
Pei Yu had always considered her a delicate and lovable little girl, and it was the first time he saw such strong power emanating from her small frame, causing him to pause in surprise.
Fu Zhen implored: "Please allow me?! Let me take credit, and people won’t look down on me as just a merchant girl anymore! Moreover, I can have General Liang accompany me, ensuring nothing will go wrong!"
