Chapter 120: Hiding from the sky and the sea
The army from far away did not move, and the 10,000 Imperial Forest Army was ready to go in the imperial city, and the guards patrolling the high city walls changed three posts at night, for fear that something would go wrong.
The boulder and the sword, tainted with fire oil, were already ready.
These weapons, which were supposed to be used against the enemy and the neighbors who were eyeing them, were now being used to point them at the chests of their own people.
Wen Yunxiang's march towards the imperial city without hesitation made Wen Mingshi extremely chilled.
Wen Yue woke up a little screaming in the morning because of a busy night, so she asked Jintuan to go to the kitchen to get her some snacks.
It may be that the princess got up a little early today, and the food in the kitchen has not yet been prepared, so Jin Tuan told these cooks to hurry up and hurry up, so as not to neglect the princess.
Wen Yue saw that he hadn't seen Jintuan come back after waiting for a long time, so he put on his cloak and went to the kitchen to have a look.
Passing by the small pavilion, I saw a few palace maids discussing something carefully, looking mysterious.
Wen Yue quietly detoured to what they wanted to hear behind
"Hey.. Have you heard, the rebels are about to reach the Imperial City? ”
"My brother outside the palace was also temporarily transferred to recruit soldiers to defend the city."
"It's so urgent, it seems that this time I'm afraid it's ......"
Wen Yue was shocked when she heard this, she was completely stunned in place, and the brocade with the dinner plate happened to come back to her senses
"You maids, don't you want your heads, if you let the princess listen, you ......?"
Wen Yue walked over with a blank face in both eyes, and the whole person was shrouded in a layer of suppressed coldness
"Go on."
Jin Tuan hurriedly knelt down and lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Wen Yue's eyes, and the group of palace maids around him saw that Jin Tuan knelt down, and all of them knelt down, and said with a crying voice
"The princess spares her life, the slaves and maids don't dare to talk nonsense anymore."
Wen Yue suddenly smiled, that kind of smile was something she had never shown, as bewitching as the sun but as cold as a cold spring.
Wen Yue stepped forward and squatted in front of a palace maid, reached out and grabbed her chin, stared at the brocade fiercely, and said to the palace maid with a smile
"Say, I won't do anything to you, you have to tell me everything you know, and you will be rewarded."
The palace maid took a cautious look at Jintuan, who was still engrossed in looking down at the ground, and fine beads of sweat had oozed from her forehead.
"Her Royal Highness the princess spares her life, if you want to say it, the slave will not survive, Your Majesty has issued an order, who dares to let His Highness know about this matter, and he will not be forgiven."
The palace maid was so frightened that she cried out under Wen Yue's coercion, and she never wanted to be a long-tongued woman behind her back anymore.
Wen Yue shook off the hand that was pinching the palace maid's chin, stood up and walked in front of Jin Tuan, Jin Tuan still didn't look up, she knew that she was really ashamed of Wen Yue.
Wen Yue stood condescendingly and looked at the brocade
"Have you forgotten the oath you swore earlier?"
Jin Tuan clenched his fists and looked at the ground with resolute eyes
"The subordinates have never forgotten, and the subordinates are not willing to find excuses to explain the crime of deceiving the princess, and they are willing to die to make their will clear."
After speaking, he quickly pulled out a dagger from his boots, ready to wipe it off like a neck, Wen Yue immediately kicked Jin Tuan in anger, and the center of gravity of the kneeling Jin Tuan was unstable and fell next to it, and the dagger in his hand also fell off.
The palace maids around them were all stunned at this time, and they were also scared, it turned out that it was so terrible to offend the princess.
Wen Yue didn't know in her heart that this was Jintuan thinking about her, and it was another way to protect her, not to mention that her emperor father had given an order, who would dare to disobey the world.
"Your life is also mine, who made you so cheap."
Jin Tuan suppressed the tremor of his voice and said to Wen Yue seriously and respectfully
"The subordinates obey the princess."
The people around didn't know what was going on, and they didn't expect that the princess would end up like this, so they naturally didn't dare to chew their tongues behind their backs.
Wen Yue also had palpitations at this time, she didn't have martial arts, she didn't have the skills to be as fast as Jintuan, if she hadn't stopped her just now, would she really want to watch her kill herself in front of her.
But despite this, Wen Yue still said coldly
"Tell me everything you're hiding from me."
"The eldest prince and his army rebelled, and at present, the army is approaching the imperial city, and the imperial city is short of soldiers and horses."
Wen Yue had already heard these palace maids talk about it just now, but she didn't expect that from the mouth of the trusted brocade, Wen Yue's heart was like a heavy stone.
No wonder the eldest brother always felt something wrong inexplicably when he went out, and now it seems that Wen Yunxiang's psychological defense line at that time has almost collapsed.
It turns out that these usurpers of power, the desire for power can really blind a person's heart.
Wen Yue didn't even dare to think that the edge of the eldest brother's sword would be directed at his father, queen mother, or even himself......
After all, that person is also his brother, the brother who left the reward pastry to her when he was a child and touched her head affectionately and called Le'er.
"Then what order did my father give you?"
"The emperor only said that no one should disclose this matter to the princess, and the princess should not be released from the palace."
Wen Yue looked up at the sky, the sky was a little foggy, no matter how cloudy the sky was in winter, there would not be a downpour, but it would make people feel colder and colder.
Such a treasure that was born in the palm of his hand, even at such a critical juncture, his father still ordered her to block the news first.
Wen Yue raised her head and held back the tears that she wanted to pour out.
"You go down first."
With Wen Yue's permission, these palace maids lifted their skirts one after another and asked An to retreat, and they were so anxious that they didn't even have time to dust off the snow on their skirts.
Jin Tuan was still kneeling, and the snow had soaked her knees, which was naturally nothing to Jin Tuan, as long as she could make the princess angry, she would be fearless in the sword mountain and the sea of fire.
"What do you want to eat?"
Jin Tuan hurriedly picked up the plate that he had placed beside him before kneeling down just now
"Damn it, this one is already cold, and the subordinate ordered the kitchen to be redone."
Jin Tuan didn't realize that Wen Yue was just borrowing the donkey from the slope to turn the page on the matter.
"Then you go quickly, I'll go back and wait for you."
In the Queen's Palace
From the apse, dressed in the palace maid's costume, looking left and right, a woman walked and quickly slipped out of the palace.
At the main entrance, when there was a guard checking, the woman handed over her waist card, and the guard roughly glanced at the palace maid with her head very low
"Let's go"
The woman seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and the pace of departure quickened.
After completely leaving the guards' sight, the woman raised her head and walked towards the Tianxiang Pavilion.
The woman who raised her head would be surprised if anyone saw her face, this person was actually the mother of a country in the Ming Dynasty, and Liu Susu, the queen of the dynasty.
At this time, Liu Susu had to venture out of the palace under the strict investigation of Wen Mingshi, and it must be for something important.
Liu Susu seemed to know that the destination was Tianxianglou from the beginning, and entered without hesitation.
