Chapter 1467: Chapter 1467: Prince Qin Is in Trouble
“Indeed, as the saying goes, ‘a swift sword cuts through tangled threads.’ In these chaotic tis, if we wait to straighten things out one by one, we will miss the best opportunity. Better to act decisively and swiftly.”
“Then… should we continue to kneel here, or…”
Minister Cheng patted the dust off his clothes and said in a low voice, “Since everyone has thought it over, I shall return ho first to rest and prepare for the impending challenges. Gentlen, do as you see fit, haha…”
With the leader gone, why were they still kneeling here?
Before long, the area in front of Renshou Palace was cleared out.
Lin Xingyi watched from a distance and said, “Minister Jie, what exactly is the Emperor orchestrating this ti?”
It’s said the Emperor was seriously ill, yet he appeared perfectly fine again.
Minister Jie replied mysteriously, “Sotis what you see isn’t necessarily true. These people are too impatient, Minister Lin, we should also quickly return to prepare.”
“What is there for us to prepare? Haven’t you noticed that even leaving the city now requires thorough inspections?” Minister Lin said helplessly.
Minister Jie quickly turned to look at his son.
Jie Zhonglin said, “Father, please rest assured, didn’t you foresee this situation earlier? I have already sent Xintong and the others away; they should almost be with my eldest brother by now.”
Lin Xingyi regretted, saying, “I should have sent my wife and children away earlier too. Alas, it was a miscalculation.”
Jie Huanzhi remarked, “What do you have to send away? Madam Lin is a lady married from the Ducal Residence. Whoever they target, it won’t be your family. I am more worried about those neutral ministers, afraid that soone might take their families as hostages to force them to pick a side.”
…
Wan Decheng hurriedly arrived at the Prince Qin Residence. He didn’t see Prince Qin but encountered the anxious new Princess Qin, who was previously Prince Qin’s consort.
The official Princess Qin had already passed away due to illness. After her death, this consort, who had borne two sons, naturally beca the rightful Princess Qin.
“Princess Qin, why are you so anxious?”
“Eunuch Wan, what brings you here in such haste?”
“I…”
“I…”
“Please, you speak first!” Eunuch Wan said, eager to know.
“Very well, then please co inside for tea. I have to attend to Prince Qin.”
“Ah…?” Hearing this, Eunuch Wan could no longer drink tea and hurriedly asked, “What happened to Prince Qin?”
Xie Qinyun said anxiously, “Just now, a servant from ho brought news that His Highness Prince Qin fell from his horse and is seriously injured.”
“His Highness Prince Qin fell from his horse?” The buzzing in Eunuch Wan’s head grew louder, feeling the coincidence was too strange, and he quickly asked, “How could His Highness Prince Qin fall from his horse?”
“Oh, I don’t know how it happened, the Prince has been extrely busy, going outside the city several tis a day. I’ve heard he visited Great General Xiao and General Lu. When asked what it was about, he wouldn’t say. Now what should be done? If sothing happens to him, how am I and the two children supposed to live?”
Xie Qinyun clutched her handkerchief, weeping bitterly.
After hearing these words, Eunuch Wan also understood.
Lately, Beijing, which seed calm on the surface, was brimming with an undercurrent of unrest that even the secluded won were aware of. How could Prince Qin not know?
Though the Emperor was ill, it didn’t an he was unaware of everything.
Prince Qin’s visits to the various military camps must be part of covert maneuvers for the Emperor, orchestrating the troops. So why would he coincidentally fall? The answer was all too clear.
