Wei Yanran and the Twelve Princes hurried back all the way, taking advantage of the moonlight, the horse under Wei Yanran's crotch had no chance to breathe at all.

Sensing that the horse had gradually reduced its speed, Wei Yanran understood that it was not far from the capital, but for some reason she suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart, and instantly tightened the reins and stopped in place.

"What's wrong with the princess?"

Originally, Wei Yanran was running in the front, she stopped, and Lu Xue quickly stopped, she looked at Wei Yanran in surprise, not knowing why she stopped suddenly.

"This road is not necessarily safe, Gu Chengyuan's news is so well-informed, maybe he has set up a roadblock on the road and is waiting for us, so it is better to be cautious."

Wei Yanran and Lu Xue stopped one after another, and the Twelve Princes naturally stopped as well, as soon as he stopped, he heard Wei Yanran say this, and as soon as he heard Wei Yanran's words, he made up his mind.

"Listen to my sister-in-law, let's go find a place and send these three horses to the capital first, and we'll just follow behind."

Even if Wei Yanran was right, Gu Chengyu still didn't have so much time to do these things, he could only use this simplest way to paralyze the other party.

The Twelfth Prince is now doing things more and more steadily, he watched Qin Yenan and Wei Yanran pay so much for this matter, and they are even more careful in doing things.

Wei Yanran also agreed very much when she heard this, she nodded and changed the direction, took a shortcut to find a post station, and the three of them were ready to change into new horses and return the same way.

"Continue the same route, but we'll wait for a stick of incense before we set off, and let these guys go back first."

Wei Yanran followed Gu Chengyu's intentions, and spent a lot of money to hire three horsemen to ride the horses of the three of them to the capital overnight, and the three of them changed horses, preparing to wait for the three horsemen to set off for a while before continuing to hurry.

Wei Yanran looked at the backs of the three horsemen and said, "Whether it is King An or King Yong, if these three people meet, they will really have to suffer, presumably no matter who intercepts these three people, they will definitely not hurt their lives." ”

Wei Yanran said this to remind the twelve princes that they must think of all countermeasures before entering Beijing, after she said this, she looked into the distance, but Lu Xue looked like she had something to say.

"Concubine Shizi, you said that the prince stayed in the Lin family, will the emperor blame him, if they don't have an accident, then it is also a big crime for us to privately transfer troops to the nine clans."

Lu Xue's words were the last thing Wei Yanran wanted to face.

But now that Lu Xue has said it, Wei Yanran has no choice but to face it calmly. "It doesn't matter, if you talk about gains and losses, I'm afraid that the losses of the two highnesses King Yongwang and King An will be greater, we are players in this gamble, whether we win or lose, just do your best."

Wei Yanran also said these words to the Twelve Princes, she just hoped that the Twelve Princes could make up their minds and not let anything from the outside world affect his decision.

Who knew that Gu Chengyu looked at a melancholy in the distance when he heard this, and began to sigh, "When I left Beijing, I was full of joy, thinking that this trip could change to a peaceful and prosperous world and seek more well-being for the people. ”

As soon as Gu Chengyu's words fell, he quickly turned over and got on the horse, and the high whip fell again, and the three of them walked in the direction of the capital.

This journey is not difficult, but it is by no means smooth, Wei Yanran expected it to be good, the three horsemen were really intercepted halfway, but the three of them escaped by luck, and when they arrived at the gate of the capital, it was just dawn. Qi Yan reads

Fortunately, the person on duty at the city gate was Ouyang Xian's old department, and as soon as he went up to the city tower to inspect it, he saw Wei Yanran and the three of them, and immediately ordered the three of them to be let in.

"I've seen the twelve princes and the princess," Ouyang Xian's old ministry was particularly heartfelt, he rushed down the city tower and saluted the three of them, "The twelve princes should go back to the Yasukuni Mansion with the princess, yesterday the emperor ordered His Royal Highness King Yong to be responsible for all matters of the sacrifice ceremony, but I am afraid that this will have a fried pot in the womb, and it is not easy to specify it along the way." ”

Wei Yanran didn't expect that the emperor would make such a holy decree when Gu Chengyu didn't come back.

She and the Twelve Princes were stunned, not knowing what they should say to comfort Gu Chengyu.

"Thank you."

Compared with Wei Yanran's stunned hearing the news, Gu Chengyuan's reaction was extraordinarily calm, he thanked Ouyang Xian's old department, and then got on the horse again and went directly in the direction of the Yasukuni Mansion.

Seeing this, Wei Yanran and Lu Xue could only follow closely, and when they entered the door of the Yasukuni Mansion one after the other, the Yasukuni Mansion was already waiting in the main hall of the Yasukuni Mansion.

On the table in front of him was the token sent by Concubine Hai last night, Gu Chengyu naturally knew this token, he didn't have any words to shy away from, and directly saluted the Yasukuni Gong.

"Guogong, the matter has come to this, do you think I still have a chance?"

Gu Chengyu's tone was sincere, and the Duke of Yasukuni couldn't help but be moved, "It's too late, as long as His Highness comes back, it's too late, there are still ten days to go to the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, and His Highness must make all the preparations in these ten days." ”

With the answer of the Duke of Yasuko, Wei Yanran and the Twelve Princes also had confidence, Wei Yanran entered the door panting, but she didn't have time to take a sip of water, she said a few words to the Duke of Yasukuni and was anxious to see Xiao'er.

But as soon as she turned around, she saw the token sent by Concubine Hai.

Things should be prioritized, Wei Yanran restrained her inner emotions, forced herself to stay calm, and participated in the dialogue between the Duke of Yasukuni and the Twelve Princes.

During the conversation, Wei Yanran learned that from the day the Twelve Princes were ordered to leave Beijing, King Yong had wantonly wooed and bribed officials in Beijing, and within three days, more than half of Gu Chengyuan's colleagues had defected to King Yong's camp.

Now Gu Chengyu's chances of winning are the smallest.

Gu Chengyu naturally understood the current form in his heart, he listened carefully to every word that Yasukuni Gong said, and silently thought about what he should do in his heart.

"Yanran, I'm afraid that Yenan will be wronged this time, and I'll have worked hard for you in the past few days, you will send Xiao'er to the old lady's yard later."

Wei Yanran hadn't spoken yet, but had been listening carefully to the side, and the Duke of Yasukuni suddenly turned his head to change the topic, and Wei Yanran was stunned when he heard this.

Wei Yanran didn't dare to imagine what would happen in Beijing, and the Yasukuni Guild personally asked Wei Yanran to send Xiao'er to the old lady's courtyard.

"In addition, you have to go to the palace with the twelve princes. This essential thing is returned to its rightful owner. ”

As he said this, Yasukuni pointed to the token on the table.
