EBE Chapter 286 Returning to the old place
Chapter 286 Returning to the old place
"Yes!" Hua Shu listened to Jiang Shuyu's instructions, tears flashed in her eyes, and she immediately agreed. She had waited for so long, and finally waited for this day.
Jiang Shuyu gave Hua Leshi some more instructions, and watched as several people left one after another to do their work. Jiang Shuyu looked at the place where Jiang Zhongming had just been with a complicated look. If her guess was correct, Jiang Zhongming and his group must have left here by now. No matter what, she was still a little worried and wanted to go over to find out.
As expected by Jiang Shuyu, when they arrived at the post station, it was empty. Although Jiang Shuyu knew that Jiang Zhongming was doing this for her own good, she still felt a little disappointed. However, she also knew that the situation in Dongli Country was urgent and the rescue operation was urgent. So Jiang Shuyu knew that this was not the time to be compassionate.
Now that they have gone to Dongli Kingdom for rescue, she cannot just sit there and wait for death. She also hopes to do her part and do more for them.
Looking at the empty room in front of her, Jiang Shuyu felt unusually calm. She thought of what Xiao Jinrui once said in his previous life. If he had not made friends with Beilin Kingdom's second prince Bei Yize by chance, he would not have been able to ascend the throne so smoothly. She wondered if Beilin Kingdom had any hand in this this time. For Xiao Jinrui to be so confident, it seemed that Bei Yize's participation was indispensable. She just didn't know what bargaining chips they talked about this time!
If I could cut off Xiao Jinrui's retreat, I wonder if he could still be as fearless as he was in his previous life!
Thinking of this, Jiang Shuyu's eyes darkened slightly. She looked up at the direction of the Nanmo Kingdom's palace, with a dark light flashing in her eyes. This time, perhaps she could stop all this.
Jinshu looked at Jiang Shuyu staring into the distance with her sharp eyes, and couldn't help feeling confused. She felt more and more that Jiang Shuyu's appearance at this moment was very similar to her master's aura, with the spirit and tenacity to look down on everything.
Soon, Jiang Shuyu withdrew her gaze, then looked at Jinshu and gave an order:
"Go back to the palace!"
……
At this moment, Jiang Zhongming looked back at the endless jungle, and he couldn't help but feel a little reluctant. He knew that with Jiang Shuyu's intelligence, she would definitely be able to guess his good intentions. After this farewell, he didn't know if they would meet again.
Sixteen years ago, he left Nanmo Country with the infant Jiang Shuyu. Now he revisited the old place, but this time, he chose to leave Yu'er here. Now he only hoped that Yu'er could understand his worries and live a good life here. When Dongli Country stabilizes and his mother is rescued, their family will surely be reunited.
Suppressing his reluctance, Jiang Zhongming spurred his horse and headed towards Dongli Kingdom.
Xiao Jingchuan watched Jiang Zhongming leave without looking back, and could not help but lower his eyes. He wanted to take Jiang Shuyu away with him, but given the current situation, it was undoubtedly the best choice for Jiang Shuyu to stay in Nanmo Country. After he awakened his father, he would certainly welcome her back with great fanfare.
Looking back at the direction of Nanmo Kingdom, Xiao Jingchuan looked at Mu Yi and said, "Speed up the progress and try to reach the next city before dark."
Time is running out for them now. He must return to Dongli Kingdom as soon as possible to ensure the safety of Emperor Shunqing. Otherwise, it is difficult to guarantee that Xiao Jinrui will do something treasonous in order to ascend the throne.
When Xiao Jingchuan and his group just stepped into Dongli Kingdom, Xiao Jinrui had already received the news. When he heard that Xiao Jingchuan had returned, Xiao Jinrui's eyes couldn't help but be sinister. He raised his hand and pushed all the memorials on the table to the ground.
"Useless! I sent so many people, but they couldn't stop Xiao Jingchuan. What use do I have to you?"
He had never thought that he had passed many checkpoints on his way back just to get Xiao Jingchuan's head, but he still escaped. If he was allowed to return to Kyoto, Xiao Jingchuan would definitely be a threat to him.
Seeing Xiao Jinrui so angry, the people below knelt down in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
Seeing the people below trembling with fear, Xiao Jinrui was immediately furious and quickly picked up the teacup on the table and threw it out: "Calm down! Calm down! I have spent so much effort to achieve what I have today. How can I calm down with just a word of yours?
"Come here! Spread this king's decree: Xiao Jingchuan has evil intentions, is colluding with traitors, and is plotting rebellion. Anyone who sees Xiao Jingchuan will be killed without mercy!"
Hearing Xiao Jinrui's words, everyone was shocked. Seeing the murderous intent in Xiao Jinrui's eyes, everyone dared not breathe, fearing that it would bring disaster to themselves. His Royal Highness Prince Jing had made so many contributions at the border, and he had long been respected by the people. These were not things that His Royal Highness Prince Rui could easily erase.
If the words of His Royal Highness Prince Rui were to be spread out, I am afraid that the soldiers guarding the city gate would not only not obey the order of His Royal Highness Prince Rui and wantonly beat and kill His Royal Highness Prince Jing, but would directly open the city gate and respectfully let His Royal Highness Prince Jing return to the capital.
Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. By that time, even if His Royal Highness Prince Rui wants to make amends, it will probably be too late.
Furthermore, I heard that Emperor Shunqing had already drafted an imperial edict to appoint the crown prince, but he suddenly fell into a coma and the drafted imperial edict disappeared. If there was an imperial edict from the emperor, I am afraid that the candidate for the crown prince would have been announced by now.
What they were afraid of was that if the Crown Prince appointed by Emperor Shunqing wasn't Prince Rui, then wouldn't the traitor who everyone wanted to kill be Xiao Jinrui himself? If Xiao Jinrui kept crying "stop thief," wouldn't he be digging his own grave?
When Concubine Yuan came over, she heard Xiao Jinrui's arrogant words, and her face suddenly changed. Seeing the people below whispering, Concubine Yuan immediately looked at them and said:
"Your Highness Prince Rui has been a little tired recently. We can discuss this matter later. You should go back first and think carefully about how to relieve His Highness Prince Rui's worries. It takes a thousand days to raise an army but only a moment to deploy it. Now is the time for you to repay His Highness, understand?"
Listening to Concubine Yuan's words, the eyes of several people sank slightly, and a trace of resentment flashed in their eyes. Although they were the counselors kept by His Royal Highness Prince Rui, in most cases, His Royal Highness Prince Rui would not listen to their advice. In the past, there was Mr. Zong who could restrain Prince Rui. Ever since Mr. Zong left, Prince Rui has been in power and has acted more and more outrageously. Naturally, they dared not step forward to persuade him. How difficult it is to give advice to His Royal Highness Prince Rui!
Even though they were full of complaints, they did not dare to speak freely in front of Concubine Yuan and her son, and could only bow their heads and agree.
