Chapter 196: Surrender
In the dense forest leading from the outskirts of Beijing to the capital, there were several teams of strangely dressed men in black who were lying dormant, waiting for the command of one of the men. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The man was ordered to help Xiao Qian, the third prince, but now he brought very few people, just the vanguard, and he had to wait for the situation to be found out before making further plans.
Moreover, the people of the Eagle Pavilion are actually better at assassinations and the like, so they did not come this time to confront the prince and others, but to imitate the events of the past and secretly kill some of the main characters, so as to cause chaos.
However, whether this can be done or not depends on the current situation in Beijing, if the three princes have no chance of winning at all, why should they pay themselves in?
Finally, there was a rustling of footsteps in the grass ahead, it was the person who had been sent to inquire about the news who had returned, and Xiao Qian's calm face finally had a trace of fluctuation.
Three or two tall men dressed as ordinary people walked out of the grass and saluted Xiao Qian: "My subordinates have seen the young master!" ”
Xiao Qian recognized them, they were a few people placed in various places in Beijing, so he waved his hand and said, "Don't be polite, let's get down to business." ”
So a person reported: "Young master, the outskirts of the city have been pressed by the 20,000 troops of the king of Dingbei, and according to the news from elsewhere, they still have troops on the way. ”
"What about the strength of the capital in Beijing?"
"Only 10,000 Imperial Forest Army are sure to take refuge in the Three Princes."
Xiao Qian waved his hand and asked another person to report: "How is the situation in the palace?" ”
"Back to the young master's words, everything in the palace is fine, but the palace people in the three princes have already shown signs of escaping one after another, and they have all been released by the prince's people. Moreover, Miss Xie is gone, as if she was taken away by the prince of Dingbei! ”
The Miss Xie referred to here is naturally Xie Jialin, but Xiao Qian has not yet informed the subordinates of Xie Jialin's identity, so these subordinates did not stop Xia Yuchen from taking Xie Jialin away.
Otherwise, even if you lose your head, you don't hesitate!
"What? Was she taken away by force? Xiao Qian knew that Xie Jialin and Xia Yuchen had an old relationship, so he asked.
The reporter carefully recalled the situation and replied: "At first, it seemed that there was resistance, but then it was indeed voluntary, and there was no trace of being forcibly persecuted. ”
That is to say, Xie Jialin made her own choice and chose the prince of Dingbei, in a sense, she chose the crown prince, and stood on the opposite side of her former husband Qin Jue.
"What else?" This time, Xiao Qian asked the spies who were in charge of paying attention to the state of the Chen family, the mother of the three princes.
The man immediately clenched his fists and replied: "Back to the young master, the Chen family is a little strange, since they met with the envoy sent by the king of Dingbei, they secretly removed everyone. This is also the reason why the palace people on the side of the three princes fled one after another. The Chen family has always had a protector from the three princes, and those palace people couldn't be clearer about this. Suddenly withdrawing people, presumably there is no sense of security. ”
Yes, I really don't feel safe, although I don't want to say that I want to take refuge with the prince, but it's always okay not to get involved in this troubled water!
Xie Jialin chose to go with Xia Yuchen, how much was it influenced by these palace people, right?
It's just that she only cares about her own future many times, and treats the other party as a spare tire, Xia Yuchen can still endure it, which is really beyond his imagination!
Should he be called stupid? Or is it that if he can endure it, he must be the one who has achieved great things?
That's it, it doesn't matter if there are or not, the important thing now is that he has come to a conclusion, there is no need to wade through this troubled water, the three princes have somehow lost all their support, why should they fight to the death and the army of the king of Dingbei?
Eagle Pavilion has always done things in secret, and will not fight with people openly.
"Let's go back!" Xiao Qian gave an order, and although the people below were strange, they also did according to his order, and the group retreated in an orderly manner.
And at this moment, Empress Chen, who had been in a trance in Fengzao Palace for more than a month, finally woke up, she realized that her son was in danger, but her mother's family did not come to help as promised, how can this be good?
Wait for your father to come to the palace to see you? Obviously, there is no possibility anymore, and it is too late for him to avoid himself! Then, I had to go and see my father by myself.
"Someone! Find a set of plain clothes for the palace, as well as a hat, prepare a horse, and the palace will go to the Taiwei Mansion. The queen hurriedly ordered, and now that she didn't dare to put up a big battle, what if the prince's people were waiting for her?
The palace maid took the order and rummaged around for a while, but she couldn't find a piece of clothing that could be called plain. After all, Queen Chen has been the queen for many years, and she was also the favored concubine of her hometown when she was not out of the cabinet, where did she get these plain clothes?
Empress Chen looked at the palace maids who were busy before and after, but they couldn't even find a piece of clothing, and couldn't help but secretly scold them for being useless, she really couldn't look at it, and said to one of them: "The box at the head of the bed in the palace should have a piece of water blue in it." ”
The palace maid then went to rummage through it, and finally took out the clothes that the queen said at the bottom of the box, and looked at the color, which was about what she wore when she was a girl.
The queen asked the palace maid to wait for her to dress up, but before leaving the palace, she found that it was pouring rain outside, accompanied by gusts of wind, which was really not a good day to travel.
"Mother, why don't you change the day? It's raining so hard, and you're dressed thinly......" The palace maid on the side kindly persuaded.
"Thinly dressed, can't you go to Hongu to pick up a cloak? Besides, we have horse-drawn carriages, so what if it rains heavily! ”
"Yes, the slave will go and get it." The palace maid who was scolded by the queen didn't dare to say anything more, so she hurriedly took a thick cloak and put it on the queen, and then got into the carriage and bumped all the way to the Taiwei Mansion.
Xu is not yet torn his face, so this palace gate is not as difficult to get out as the queen thought.
After coming to the Taiwei Mansion, the queen was helped out of the carriage by the palace maid, and through the dense rain curtain, she looked at the place where she had lived for more than ten years, and looked at the still magnificent gold plaque, but her heart was a little cold.
Regardless of whether she saw her father or not, she had already counted a little, and there was no movement so far, doesn't it mean that Jue'er has been abandoned?
But no matter what, she has to fight for it, for the trick, and for herself.
"You are?" The queen stood outside and did not go in, and because she wore a hat and had been away from home for many years, the old servant guarding the door did not recognize her.
Wait until the palace maid beside the queen came and said, "Bold, the mother has arrived, and she dares to be unreasonable!" He realized that this was the queen, and after hurriedly confessing his guilt, he led people into the hall.
It happened that Chen Yinian was teasing the birds there, and he didn't feel any tension, and he was very leisurely.
"Lord Taiwei, there is something important to discuss in this palace." The queen took off her hat and said.
