After crossing over, I am popular with both men and women

At the same time, Princess Minghua's mansion, two streets away, was brightly lit.

"Your Highness, the secret passage in Beishan has also been discovered." The prince consort took the note presented by his subordinates and handed it to his own prince with some trepidation.

"It's as expected." Princess Minghua stroked the jade beads in her hand, her eyelashes drooping slightly.

"Find someone to tell others about the matter of Mount Xutuo as well."

"Your Highness!" The captain of the imperial concubine was shocked. Compared with the deceptions of West Mountain and North Mountain, Xutuo Mountain was the important stronghold where they actually spent a lot of manpower and material resources.

Almost all the private soldiers, weapons and property were there.

He didn't understand why His Highness did this. Once discovered, they would lose their last trump card.

"Mingyao, don't worry." Princess Minghua reached out and touched her husband's face, which was no longer young due to long-term worry.

I still remember the first time I saw him, he was still a handsome young man with stars in his eyes.

Every time she looked back inadvertently, she would find him looking at her shyly.

After so many years, the young man has grown old, his skin is no longer smooth, and his ears and temples are covered with white hair.

"Princess." Ming Yao followed Princess Minghua's hand and leaned against her with affection.

"September 2nd is the twelfth birthday of the Shen family's grandson. Yucheng will definitely go. I want to let her know about Xutuo Mountain." Divert her attention and then take the opportunity to attack.

Although Xutuo Mountain is important, no one knows about it except herself. It is just a second-best option, and she has more important backup plans.

That was a hidden chess piece that she had never expected would appear on its own. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have made up her mind to take such a risk.

By then, either you can avenge your previous humiliation or end it all by dying.

It’s just a pity for the person in front of me. If he loses, he will be buried with me.

"Will Yucheng really go? He had such a big fight with the eldest son of the Shen family before." Ming Yao was a little hesitant, because he had seen the scene with his own eyes.

"She has always been sentimental, and Shen Yong grew up under her care. Even if the loser in the Shen family is so despicable, she will still go." Otherwise, why would she still be protecting him until now?

A few days ago, she also received news that Yucheng had secured a place in the Imperial College for Shen Yong's eldest son.

He said he was looking for a study partner for Li Yun, but Shen Qilin was not very smart.

There were many outstanding children among the noble families in Chang'an. If there was no special relationship between them, why should they rely on him for promotion?

"Then, Princess, just go ahead and do it. Mingyao will stay with you no matter what." Even if it means death.

I don’t know what’s wrong with him recently, maybe it’s because something is about to happen, he always thinks about the past.

I still remember that he was just an ordinary seventh-rank captain in the Beijing Guard Camp.

Most of those who can enter the Beijing Guard Camp have backgrounds.

This position was obtained for him by his parents who sacrificed their ancestors' reputation, invested most of their fortune, and asked countless people for help.

I thought that even if I endured for more than ten years, I could at most be promoted to the fifth rank, but during a competition, I unexpectedly won the favor of His Highness.

Then he was promoted from seventh-rank captain to sixth-rank, and then entered the Right Guard, one of the twelve guards.

Finally, he made the leap to become the envied imperial son-in-law of the emperor.

He was not an ungrateful person. Moreover, Her Highness was beautiful and intelligent, as dazzling as the sun. He had already fallen in love with her when she was promoted to the Right Guard.

But later, for some unknown reason, the prince, who was originally sunny and confident, and had a chance of winning the throne, suddenly withdrew from the struggle.

From drinking and playing with male favorites, to having a large harem, to what she is now.

...

On September 2nd, everything goes well and it is extremely auspicious.

"What did you say?" Princess Yucheng, who had just sat down on the main seat in the Shen Mansion, stood up suddenly, holding her stomach.

If Huang Yanchu, who was following closely, had not been quick enough to lift up the low table in front of her, she would have been bumped into.

But Princess Yucheng obviously didn't care about these. All her attention was on what the visitor reported.

Clearly, she had just received the news about Xutuo Mountain two days ago, and had been dealing with the other party, arranging people to find a way to attack.

I heard someone report this morning that the task had almost been completed.

Where did she get the soldiers at this time!

"He is the commander-in-chief of the Beijing Guard Camp." The visitor broke out in a cold sweat.

"How could it be him!" Princess Yucheng never expected that the one who rebelled would be the person she least expected.

The commander-in-chief of the Beijing Guard Camp is usually the most trusted relative of the previous emperor.

It was he who supported the emperor to ascend to the high throne.

Why are you helping Minghua rebel now?

However, things had come to this point, and she had no time to think about it any further. Princess Yucheng listened to the real-time reports from her subordinates one after another, while giving orders continuously and walking quickly outside with her men.

Now the eldest prince and Gao Chongwen are leading two teams to put up a desperate resistance outside the city. They cannot attack for the time being, so there is still time to make defenses.

"Where is Li Wu now?" Holding Huang Yanchu's hand, Princess Yucheng lifted the curtain and asked the captain of the horse guards as soon as she got on the carriage.

"Your Highness, Captain Li entered the palace early this morning."

"Very good." Because the situation had become more urgent these days and almost everything that needed to be done had been done, she ordered Li Wu to stay in the palace every day just in case.

Although the most elite Royal Secret Guards and Qianniu Guards were by the emperor's side, their martial arts were not as good as Li Wu's, so she could rest assured.

What we can do now is to mobilize the troops of the Twelve Guards and have some of them guard the major palace gates.

A part of them, together with the palace soldiers borrowed from the nobles' mansions, formed a square formation to support the eldest prince and Gao Chongwen.

The next step is to ask all the people in the city to close their doors and windows to avoid unnecessary casualties.

"Report! The city gate has been breached!" When Princess Yucheng had finally arranged everything and the carriage had just stopped outside the Danfeng Gate, she heard a horse galloping behind her.

"So fast!" Princess Yucheng looked back and saw the blazing fire and billowing smoke in the distance.

"Princess, please go into the palace and take shelter." Huang Yanchu stretched out his hand and prayed.

"No, I'm here." Princess Yucheng brushed away Huang Yanchu's hand, and slowly moved down from the carriage, holding her belly.

At this time, there was dust all along the way, accompanied by the deafening sound of marching, slowly approaching from afar, leading them was the commander-in-chief of the Beijing Guard Camp and Princess Minghua on horseback.

Soon, they arrived within a shooting distance and came into a standoff with Princess Yucheng, who was guarding the palace gate with soldiers from the twelve guards.

"Yucheng, you never expected that." Princess Minghua glanced at Princess Yucheng opposite her, as if she had already won everything.

"I really didn't expect it." Princess Yucheng pushed away Huang Yanchu who was trying to block her way, gave him a look, and then slowly looked back:

"But I don't understand why my sister voluntarily gave up the throne, but took such a move today?" This is what she has been unable to figure out.

At that time, Princess Minghua had many supporters, almost as many as the emperor, but she suddenly gave up overnight.

Everyone was surprised, but everything was very chaotic at the time. Although she tried to investigate later, she could not find the reason.
