Chapter 438: Chapter 317: This Merit Must Be Attributed to Me! (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_2
Pei Yu listened to her words, reassessed her once more, and finally nodded: "Then Shaoyuan, take your men and follow! Remember, the task must be done well, and no one should be harmed!"
"Rest assured, Uncle Pei!"
Liang Zhi responded loudly!
The two of them immediately prepared to head for Donghua Gate.
As Fu Zhen mounted his horse, he said to Liang Zhi, "Xu Yin wants to escape, and he must have meticulously planned it out, so send someone to find Old Seven and have him come over as well!
"If there’s any news, have them to me immediately!"
...
Consort Li held the Crown Prince’s token, which gave her the right to leave the palace under normal circumstances.
If nothing unexpected happened, they would exit the palace smoothly, but if they were obstructed, it would clearly indicate that something had changed outside the palace!
Their luck was indeed good, as they arrived unimpeded at Donghua Gate.
The guards at the palace gate merely verified the token and let them pass with a bow.
Consort Li breathed a huge sigh of relief, "The Crown Prince has foresight; it seems everything is under control!"
Xu Yin looked back at the distant palace gates, glanced at her upon hearing this, and then sat focused on his horse without speaking further.
Consort Li, sitting inside the carriage, had just adjusted the gold hairpin at her temples when she heard many footsteps behind her. Curious, she lifted the curtain and looked back, only to see that somehow a group of cloth-clad samurai had appeared behind the carriage!
Her expression changed drastically as she turned to Xu Yin on the horse beside her: "Where did these people come from?"
The Eastern Palace had limited manpower, and she had brought only six guards, yet now there were more than ten people behind her! And she didn’t recognize any of their faces! As for the six guards she had brought, they were nowhere to be seen!
"Where are my guards?!"
She couldn’t help but panic.
Xu Yin cast a sidelong glance at her from his horse: "Concubine, there’s no need to worry. You are a noble figure of the palace; your safety cannot be taken lightly. That’s why Mr. Xu arranged some people to escort the concubine."
They had already left the palace, and were about to arrive at the Li family, so why the need to deploy additional escorts?
Moreover, why were these people dressed in plain clothes, as if intentionally trying to conceal their actions?
Consort Li’s heart sank, and when she tried to ask about the whereabouts of her guards, a quick glance outside the carriage curtain showed that the street view was not the road to the Li family at all! In fact, they were approaching the city gate!
Her whole body tensed up!
She asked, disregarding everything else, "Where are you taking me? How dare you attempt anything against me?!"
Xu Yin sneered, "Naturally, I must escort the concubine out of the city, away from this chaos! The Li family has already become rebels, and the Crown Prince will soon be executed. Going to the Li family now is nothing short of courting death!"
Consort Li was terrified!
"So you’re not working for the Crown Prince? You’re using me to get out of the palace? You’re taking me as a hostage?!"
"Finally figured it out!"
Xu Yin said as he halted, gesturing to the guards!
Immediately, two guards swiftly entered the carriage, pressing daggers against Consort Li’s lower back!
Consort Li dared not move, her whole body starting to shake, and her face turned deathly pale!
She had thought this Xu was genuinely helping the Crown Prince, but who knew he was a treacherous villain!
"Out of the city!"
Xu Yin ordered quietly, driving the group toward the city gate, indifferent to Consort Li’s reaction.
How could the Crown Prince possibly succeed?
Even the Crown Prince himself wasn’t confident of his success, yet this woman believed it! Truly, she’s naive and ignorant, believing whatever others say!
The Crown Prince underestimated Pei Zhan, underestimated the veteran ministers in the court, and likewise underestimated his own father.
He didn’t understand that those old generals who had survived bloody battlefields always put the nation’s interests above all else. Nor did he know that his father, after conquering the world, knew that establishing a prosperous era couldn’t be done alone.
If not for the unity of the monarch and ministers, how could Great Zhou have driven back Dayue after so many generals sacrificed themselves over the years?
If they weren’t united, Great Zhou would have long perished.
This coup attempt by the Crown Prince, even if it happened ten or twenty years later, would still have been doomed.
Just after defeating Dayue, when the monarch and ministers were united and ambitious, how could he possibly find an opportunity?
Today’s actions were nothing but a desperate struggle!
Since learning of the Crown Prince’s plan, Xu Yin had known that as soon as he acted, he would surely fail.
But this was no concern for Xu Yin; he was satisfied with the outcome.
