The princess is very versatile, leaving the prince to become the richest
Chapter 258 Closing the City
"Your Highness, what do you need me to do?"
In such a situation, how could Eunuch Wang not understand? It was obvious that this imperial physician was Xiao Jingshi's man.
Eunuch Wang felt a chill in his heart. He was the eunuch who served the emperor personally. If anything happened to His Majesty, he would be buried with him and continue to serve him underground. His life was tied to the emperor's.
So whenever the emperor was in danger, he would be put at the forefront.
Eunuch Wang, who saw the situation clearly, calmed down instead, but there was still a hint of doubt in his heart.
In his eyes, the Second Prince has always been a non-aggressor. Where did his current powerful power come from?
If he had been hiding his incompetence in the past, how could he force the emperor to abdicate now without any justification?
And why are they just willing to surrender when the Empress and his family haven't made any moves?
Just now he noticed that when Grand Tutor Zheng and the others were taken away, they were very calm and there was no struggle at all, which was unlike their usual style.
"Just keep him unconscious, it will be easier for you.
When everything is settled, let him wake up and clear his name."
I have to say that Xiao Jingshi had a good plan.
When Eunuch Wang heard him say that he would wake the emperor up, he knew that he had no plans to touch the emperor for the time being. He felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
How can I not be happy when I can live one more day?
Xiao Jingshi had the emperor sent back to his residence, leaving only eunuch Wang to serve him closely.
Although there was only Eunuch Wang in the palace, the security outside the house was tight and the walls were iron-clad.
There was a sentry every five steps and a guard post every ten steps. There were no less than a hundred people guarding the entire yard. Outside the yard, there were a large number of soldiers patrolling non-stop for twelve hours.
Without Xiao Jingshi's token, people inside can't get out, and people outside can't get in.
After Xiao Jingshi gradually controlled the imperial palace, he dispersed his troops and gradually replaced the city gates leading into Beijing from the east, west, south and north with his own people.
He controlled the coup very well and replaced the person in power quietly. Even the people in the capital did not notice it.
The people had only received a notice that there had been a victory at the border, and in order to prevent the enemy from becoming desperate and to protect the safety of the capital, they were advised not to enter or leave the city unless necessary.
For this, they were happy and felt that His Majesty was protecting their safety.
The city is self-sufficient, and most of the people are obedient for the sake of their own lives.
A small number of people shouted to leave the city, but they were scared back by the soldiers guarding the city. They could not be intimidated and were taken away for causing trouble.
After seeing what happened to these people, no one dared to leave the city the next day.
It is difficult to leave the city, and even more difficult to enter the city.
Just then, Jiang Qingyu and Xiao Jingyu, disguised as a middle-aged couple, arrived outside the city gate.
Originally they thought that with their disguise, they could successfully enter the city gate before dark.
As a result, they saw a lot of people gathered at the city gate from a distance.
Moreover, Xiao Jingyu discovered that all the people guarding the city had been replaced and were different from when he left.
Generally speaking, unless there are special circumstances, not all goalkeepers will be replaced.
Xiao Jingyu now realized the seriousness of the problem and became even more anxious.
But there's no point in being anxious, it won't solve any problems.
Fortunately, they were not the only two people blocked outside the city. Some people were out of the city for sightseeing, some were coming to the capital for business, and others looked like they were fleeing famine.
People of all kinds gathered together and shouted at the soldiers.
Under normal circumstances, they would not dare to offend the soldiers.
But today there are so many people, and the law cannot hold everyone responsible, so everyone is shouting with confidence.
The soldiers sent to guard the city were also feeling very miserable.
They were all powerless soldiers, and this was their first time guarding the city gate. They had no choice but to do whatever their superiors told them to do.
Just when the soldiers were in a dilemma, a man who seemed to be of a higher official rank walked out of the city gate.
A man who seemed to be the leader among the soldiers hurried forward, respectfully invited him in front of the crowd, and shouted to the people who were stopped.
"Stop arguing, be quiet, our boss is here, everyone listen to him."
The man the soldiers called Boss cleared his throat and found the highest position.
"Thank you for your hard work, I am the temporary captain of the East City Gate.
It's not that we don't let you enter the city. This is the prince's order, and we are also following orders from above.
Your Majesty has been murdered by spies from the enemy country and is still in a coma.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the city gates will be opened when the spy is caught and His Majesty is rescued.
You guys better leave quickly, otherwise don’t blame me for being rude!!!"
The captain started out speaking politely, but his tone became increasingly harsh.
After hearing what he said, everyone started talking about it. It turned out that their emperor was in danger.
Now they no longer wanted to go in. If they went in, they would be mistaken for spies and thrown into jail, which would be even more unfortunate.
After figuring this out, they gathered together to discuss where to transition next.
Jiang Qingyu and Xiao Jingyu in the crowd were very surprised after hearing the explanation of the city guard.
The two of them stayed away from the crowd and talked in low voices.
"What's going on? Didn't Father take your detoxification pill? How come he is still poisoned?"
At first glance, Xiao Jingyu's words would be misunderstood as accusations against himself.
Fortunately, Jiang Qingyu is not a petty person and knows that he is just expressing his doubts.
“My detoxification pill has a wide range of detoxification effects, so its detoxification effect will be somewhat poor, but it’s only a matter of time.
And now I haven’t seen my father, so it’s still unknown whether he has been poisoned.
By the way, did you hear that? He just mentioned that the closure of the city was the prince’s order.
When did the emperor confer the title of Crown Prince?
I remember that among the candidates for the crown prince in my father's mind, you were his favorite.
Now that you are not here, who will be the prince now?"
Jiang Qingyu's doubts were also shared by Xiao Jingyu.
It's not that he is conceited, but the emperor has repeatedly expressed to him that he wants to make him the crown prince, but he has refused every time.
"I'm afraid he also fabricated the spy story. This prince is most likely the one who murdered my father."
Among the crowd, Jiang Qingyu and Xiao Jingyu were not the only ones who were curious about the prince's identity.
At this time, a young man from a wealthy family in the capital city asked the question in his mind.
“My Lord, I was just out of town for a few days, but I didn’t expect so many things to happen in the capital.
I remember that the third prince, whom His Majesty likes the most, is not in the capital. Who is this crown prince?
Could it be the Queen's legitimate son, the Fifth Prince?"
The captain didn't want to answer him at first, but when he looked up, he recognized him as the grandson of Lord Wang. Lord Wang had a certain prestige in Beijing, so the captain gave him face and solved his doubts.
