Chapter 493: Rebellion
"The crown princess, I will go back and tell our prince, the great kindness of the crown princess, and the Anwang Mansion is unforgettable."
"Auntie go slowly." Shen Yunwan sent Princess An away.
But the next development made Shen Yunwan unexpected.
……
Late at night, Qing Yu came to Shen Yunwan's bed.
"Crown Princess, Crown Princess......"
Shen Yunwan opened her eyes.
Seeing the crown princess wake up, Qing Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Her face was solemn: "Crown Princess, something happened." ”
When Shen Yunwan heard this, the look of concern in his bright eyes was gone, and his bright eyes were as cold as the moonlight outside the window.
"What's going on?"
"King An's family has been taken away by His Majesty's Shence Army, according to the news found by the secret line in the house, King An has been imprisoned in the edict for treason, and even Xue Yuanbi can't intervene at present."
"How so?" Shen Yunwan was taken aback.
"King An and his wife should be innocent, and the only person who secretly colluded with Xiao Junyan is Xiao Mingde......"
Shen Yunwan suddenly stopped his voice.
Yes, it is impossible for His Majesty to dispose of his son, if there is no one behind Xiao Mingde's back, no one will believe it, since this is the case, then it can only be asked by King An to carry the black pot for Xiao Junyan.
Shen Yunwan sat up in a cloak.
"Prepare the car, the palace is going to the eldest princess's mansion in Huai'an."
Qing Yu also knew the seriousness of the matter, and immediately nodded.
However, as soon as she walked out of the yard, she collided head-on with Cui Ping.
"Qing Yu, go back quickly and tell the crown princess that Wen Sijiu has sent the Shence army to surround the prince's mansion, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."
"What?" Qing Yu was terrified.
She directly picked up the light work and swept it into the courtyard.
"Crown Princess, Wen Sijiu sent people to surround the Prince's Mansion."
Shen Yunwan frowned, and his eyes showed a hint of fierceness.
"Dress up Hongu."
In the middle of the night, the Prince's Mansion, which had fallen into silence, suddenly became noisy.
The Nine Elder Gods of Wen Si were sitting on their chairs on the ground, and suddenly, the two vermilion doors of the Prince's Mansion were pushed open from the inside.
First, the guards holding torches lined up, and then walked out of two columns of maids, holding the palace lamps in their hands were bright and gorgeous, like the Milky Way, and everyone was surrounded by a palace beauty.
I saw the princess combing a gorgeous peony bun, with red gold and treasure tassels and phoenix hairpins inserted in her hair, one of which was given by the queen mother, shining brightly under the illumination of the lights, like a fairy concubine, so gorgeous that people did not dare to force their eyes.
"Lord Wen led troops to surround the Prince's Mansion late at night, did he want to rebel?"
In the night, Shen Yunwan's tone was colder than the dew at night.
Wen Sijiu got up from his chair, and then retreated to the bottom of the steps with a respectful face.
He leaned over and saluted: "The crown princess has misunderstood, it is not peaceful in the capital tonight, Your Majesty and the queen are worried about the safety of the crown princess, so they will protect the crown princess in the future." ”
Wen Sijiu's tone was slow.
"Although the crown princess sleeps peacefully, the last general guarantees that not a single mosquito can fly into the prince's mansion."
A sneer escaped from Shen Yunwan's lips.
What protection, simply surveillance!
Your Majesty is bent on killing King An!
Even if it is a flying pigeon, I am afraid that it will be intercepted by Wen Sijiu's people.
"The palace went to the Great Xiangguo Temple a few days ago, and the abbot of Wuchen specially instructed the palace, these days to avoid the snow, your people are too murderous, not only can not make the palace feel at ease, but also disturb the dream of the palace."
Shen Yunwan said coldly.
"The crown princess, the last general has the emperor's order, and I ask the crown princess not to embarrass the last general."
Regarding Shen Yunjuan's excuse, Wen Sijiu didn't believe a word.
"Qing Yu, let's go back."
Wen Sijiu was stubborn, and Shen Yunwan was too lazy to waste words with him.
Walking to the Hanging Flower Gate, Shen Yunwan stopped.
"Go and set a fire in the wing room to the west, the bigger the better."
"Crown Princess, this is too dangerous, in case you let the traitor get into ......"
"Do you have a better way?"
Shen Yunwan frowned.
Meng Chi's mother, Mrs. Meng, suddenly fell ill, Meng Chi took leave with him in the afternoon, and Lu Hanzhi was sent to Jiangnan by himself.
Except for one Song Qianmo, there was no one around Shen Yunjuan.
"The crown princess, or the slave maid will find a way to get out of the house and go to Fang Qi, the young secretary of Dali Temple. If His Majesty wants to make a move against King An, it is impossible to bypass Dali Temple. ”
"The person Fang Qi is loyal to is His Royal Highness, not necessarily the main palace. If he had any other thoughts, it would only make the situation worse. ”
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and set fires."
Shen Yunwan ordered.
Qing Yu saw that he couldn't persuade the princess, so he had no choice but to obey the order.
In the middle of the night, a fire broke out in the stables of the Prince's Mansion, and the fire was extremely strong, and soon the wings connected to the west were also set on fire, and the entire west courtyard instantly turned into a sea of fire.
"Come on, put out the fire! Hurry up and put out the fire! ”
The people woke up from their sleep and screamed in panic.
Wen Sijiu looked at the fire coming out of the west, and his expression stiffened for a moment.
He frowned: "The west courtyard is on fire, help put out the fire." ”
"But my lord, Your Majesty has an order, so we must not leave the palace gate for a single step."
The four corner gates of the Prince's Mansion, including the main gate, are all guarded, if they go to help put out the fire, if they let the people of the Prince's Mansion slip out, how can they explain to Your Majesty?
"If the crown princess has an accident, you and my lives will not be enough to compensate. I stayed at the main gate, leaving two people at each of the other four corner gates, and the rest of the people went to put out the fire. ”
"Something happened, and the official took it."
"Yes, sir."
……
"Crown Princess Niangniang, Wen Sijiu led people to guard the main gate, the west side is the most chaotic now, and there are only two people guarding it, so it's better to go from the west gate."
Qing Yu had already changed into a black night suit.
"No, go through the east gate."
With Wen Sijiu's scheming, the Shence Army left behind on the bright side is the way to obstruct the eyes.
He must have guessed that the people in the palace would take advantage of the chaos to slip out of the West Gate, and if they really wanted to go to the West Gate, they would fall into the net.
Therefore, Shen Yunwan chose the East Gate, which is the farthest away from the West Gate.
Shen Yunwan took off the jewelry on his head, personally tied up his long hair, and then put on the veil.
Qing Yu was stunned when she sensed the princess's intentions.
"Crown Princess, you ......"
"Don't talk nonsense, if you wait for the fire to go out and Wen Sijiu has a defense, there will be no chance tonight."
Shen Yunwan took off this Laoshizi's clothes, took out a set of light clothes from the wardrobe, and changed them as quickly as possible.
At this moment, Zizhu, who was supposed to recuperate from his injuries, appeared in the room.
(
"Crown princess Niangniang, how can this kind of thing be so rare for slaves! Let Qing Yu lure people away for a while, and the slave will accompany you to the mansion of the eldest princess of Huai'an. ”
Seeing Zizhu at a glance, Shen Yunwan was stunned: "Why are you here, don't you let you recuperate with peace of mind?" ”
"Princess, if the slave and maid lie down again, the bones will rust. In the past, the slave and maid had been seriously injured than this, and they were on the same mission. Zizhu said with a smile, without any reluctance in his expression.
"Zizhu, it's enough for the crown princess to have me here, you better heal your injuries first." Qing Yu also followed suit.
"No, how can such an important operation be without me?" A playful smile appeared on Zizhu's face, and he deliberately said, "You shouldn't be afraid that I will rob you of your credit, right?" ”
If you continue to grind like this, you will lose the best time.
Shen Yunwan had no choice but to agree.
She can only comfort herself that one more will give her one more chance of winning.
The east gate was as he expected, with only two people guarding it.
Qing Yu raised an eyebrow, veiled, and the dart in his hand grazed the cheek of one of the soldiers, nailed to the wall.
"There are assassins! Chase! ”
Successfully attracting the attention of the Shence Army, Qing Yu sprinkled a handful of medicinal powder, successfully put the two people down, and then rushed into the courtyard, gesticulating towards Shen Yunwan's hiding place.
Shen Yunwan nodded, glanced at Zizhu, and then flew on the horse.
A snow-white jade lion split the night and galloped down the deserted street.
The four horses' hooves were wrapped in cotton cloth and did not make a sound.
Zizhu raised his horsewhip, and his voice was scattered in the wind.
"Master, if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell the slave and maid."
The crown princess was pregnant, but she had to bump on horseback, and Zizhu was afraid that the little master in the princess's womb would have an accident.
"Don't worry, Bengong's own body knows it in his heart."
……
The eldest princess of Huai'an had already rested, and it took a lot of effort for the female official Song to wake up the eldest princess of Huai'an.
"The crown princess is here? Did you say anything? ”
The eldest princess of Huai'an is old after all, and she keeps yawning.
"The crown princess said that the matter is serious, and she must see you before she says."
"The crown princess is here herself?" The eldest princess of Huai'an only reacted at this time, and she fell asleep.
"Quick, go get a basin of cold water." The eldest princess of Huai'an needs to sober herself up with cold water.
Soon, a cool towel was attached to the face.
The eldest princess of Huai'an only wore a bed robe.
"Go and invite the crown princess, prepare another bowl of ginger soup, it's cold at night, don't let her get cold."
"Your Highness, don't worry, the slave maid will go and let people prepare."
Lady Song went to the flower hall.
"Qiqi Crown Princess Niangniang, His Royal Highness has woken up, and respectfully asks the Crown Princess Niangniang to move."
"Thank you, Lady Song."
Shen Yunwan followed Lady Song to the bedroom of the eldest princess of Huai'an.
"Crown Princess, why are you dressed like this?"
"Auntie, something happened."
Shen Yunwan tried to make a long story short.
"In short, King An is in a dangerous situation now."
Although the eldest princess of Huai'an is extremely disgusted with Xiao Huanting, her niece, she still has a lot of feelings for King An.
Her face turned pale: "What kind of evil has King An created, giving birth to such two evil obstacles." ”
The eldest princess of Huai'an's angry fingers were trembling.
She obviously forgot that Wei Xinlan also caused a lot of messes at the beginning, and it was all up to the eldest princess of Huai'an to clean up behind her daughter's ass.
"Grandmother, now we need to think of ways to save King An as much as possible, as for Xiao Mingde, he is innocent."
In case King An wants to intercede with Xiao Mingde at that time, all his efforts will be in vain.
The eldest princess of Huai'an heard Shen Yunwan's worries.
She said softly: "Don't worry, King An is not so confused." If he knew in advance about the good things that Xiao Mingde had done, he would only end Xiao Mingde's life with his own hands, anyway, King An has many sons, and it is nothing to die one. ”
"When my aunt said this, I was relieved."
Shen Yunwan had already thought about it all the way before coming to the Eldest Princess of Huai'an's Mansion.
She said what she thought: "The best way at the moment is to triage with three divisions. Your Majesty is always bad at charging King An in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs. ”
"You're right, but I'm afraid that Your Majesty will kill people, once Xiao Mingde is dead, there will be no proof of death."
This is exactly what makes the eldest princess of Huai'an feel anxious.
She knows the emperor well enough, this nephew is cold-hearted, and even his own son can put his own son to death as soon as possible, let alone a cousin.
Even if King An was loyal to him, he was not worth mentioning in front of his throne.
"If Your Majesty kills Xiao Mingde, won't you give someone a handle? Auntie, Your Majesty is very concerned about reputation, I don't think so. ”
What you can think of, can't the ministers think of?
Although King An does not make friends with the prince, he has a good relationship in the court, and there will definitely be someone among the courtiers to help King An speak.
If King An is to be convicted based on Xiao Mingde's testimony alone, I am afraid that the ministers will not agree.
What's more, at the moment, the Northern Barbarians are attacking on a large scale, and His Majesty must not want to make things bigger.
"When people get old, their brains are gone. You make a lot of sense, it's Hongu who wants to be left. ”
The eldest princess of Huai'an stroked her forehead in annoyance.
Then, she said with a straight face: "I think, let's not guess here either." Without further ado, this palace will enter the palace with you. ”
"Auntie, I'm here on horseback, and I'll have to share a ride with you in a while." Shen Yunwan drank the ginger soup in the bowl.
The eldest princess of Huai'an was so considerate, Shen Yunwan accepted her kindness.
"You came on horseback?" The eldest princess of Huai'an froze.
"You're not feeling sick, are you?"
This young man is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers!
"Thank you for your concern, please rest assured, I'm fine now."
Shen Yun smiled.
The eldest princess of Huai'an was relieved.
"Come on, put a thick layer of cushion in the carriage, and go get a cloak newly made by Hongu."
The eldest princess of Huai'an commanded in a loud voice.
To put it mildly, if the crown prince has an accident at the border, the child in the princess's womb is the hope of all of them!
It can be said that with this child, if it is a male heir, there is a power to compete!
"Thank you, Grandmother." Shen Yunwan hurriedly thanked him.
……
When she came, Shen Yunwan deliberately avoided the patrolling soldiers, so the eldest princess of Huai'an didn't have to be taboo about this.
With the status of the eldest princess of Huai'an, even if she was still in curfew and encountered the soldiers on patrol, the guards of the eldest princess's mansion only needed to show the token of the eldest princess of Huai'an, and those soldiers had to be obediently let go.
The carriage went all the way unimpeded and went straight to the palace gate.
Through the long corridor in the palace, Shen Yunwan lifted the corner of the curtain and found that the originally dark sky had revealed a trace of fish belly white.
Shen Yunwan realized that the sky was beginning to lighten.
"When you get to the palace in a while, the palace is in front, you don't need to speak."
The eldest princess of Huai'an, who closed her eyes and recuperated, opened her eyes.
As soon as Shen Yunwan was about to speak, she was patted on the back of her hand by the eldest princess of Huai'an.
"Be obedient, at this time, it is natural for the elders to be in front of the juniors."
