I rely on gossip to save the country

Just as the leader of the Royal Guards was about to say something, he was dragged by Xie Chuyue to the backyard of the manor, where the girls were planted in the ground.

When the leader of the Imperial Guards saw this, he turned pale with fright and obediently followed Xie Chuyue to the outside of the manor.

The leader of the Royal Guards was pale at this moment, and his voice was trembling: "Your Highness, Princess, what should we do next?"

Now, he completely believed that the eldest princess had changed and was no longer the arrogant and domineering princess as rumored.

Xie Chuyue was speechless: [I am so impressed. If I wasn't afraid that this guy wouldn't cooperate, who would be willing to talk nonsense with him? Damn it, none of the royal children are obedient. My father has been on the throne for so many years, but he still hasn't changed his bad habits.]

When the leader of the Royal Guards heard Xie Chuyue's thoughts, he felt a little embarrassed after hearing the first two sentences. His face froze when he heard the second half. Her Royal Highness the Princess must be talking about the emperor's brothers. Could it be that one of these princes took action this time?

Thinking of this, I only felt more terrified.

That’s right, how could this mere son of the Minister of War have such great abilities?

Xie Chuyue gave the order: "Only the two of us and the Imperial Guards are involved in this matter. We cannot act yet. Once we act, we must act quickly and decisively. We cannot let them discover our intentions. If they discover us, they will deal with the girls or move them away. Then we will have no evidence and our work will be in vain. So we must act quickly, accurately and ruthlessly to resolve this as soon as possible."

"Yes! Don't worry, Your Highness the Princess. I will send out the elite Imperial Guards." The leader of the Imperial Guards responded respectfully.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Xie Chuyue brought several assassins from Wuming Pavilion to the entrance of the rockery. They all wore night clothes and sneaked in quietly.

The leader of the Imperial Guards led his men to surround the entire village in an instant and captured everyone in the village. Every time they captured a person, they silenced that person.

After doing all this, he took people to the back of the village and rescued the girls who were buried in the ground.

At this time, Xie Chuyue had already dealt with the people in the rockery and rushed out with the group of girls.

Some maids and servants wanted to send out distress signals, but were beheaded on the spot by the royal guards.

In the palace, Emperor Mingde tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

As for Xie Yunqi, he stood in the study, looking out the window with a frown on his face.

At some point, a black figure appeared from behind him and reported to Xie Yunqi, "Your Highness, Prince Xuan was about to take action, but my men intercepted him. The Minister of War's men were also intercepted by my men."

Xie Yunqi ordered coldly: "Seal the news and don't let it get back to the capital! The He family must not know about it."

"Yes!" The secret guard responded and disappeared into the study!

This night is destined to be uneasy.

The next day, the atmosphere at the morning court was very depressing, and all the civil and military officials were filled with an ominous feeling that a storm was about to come.

They saw the eldest princess with a gloomy face since she came to them, the crown prince with a cold air around him, and the faint uneasiness on the faces of the officials.

This scene made all the civil and military officials tremble with fear.

Xie Yunqing and Xie Yunshen also noticed something strange, and Xie Yunshen didn't dare to act rashly.

Soon, a young eunuch came to deliver a message, and everyone entered the hall. Emperor Mingde also came out from the side room and sat in a wheelchair.

"Your subjects pay homage to our Emperor. Long live the Emperor!"

"Your Majesty, your son, pays homage to your father. Long live your father!"

Emperor Mingde looked at the civil and military officials kneeling in the Golden Throne Hall and respectfully bowing to him, and said in a cold tone: "Stand up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The civil and military officials stood up and just as they stood still, they heard the slow voice of their Majesty: "Did you sleep well last night, my dear ministers?"

All the civil and military officials were bewildered, not knowing what their emperor was up to, and they all looked at Xie Chuyue.

Strange, why didn't the eldest princess scold his majesty today?

If this happened normally, the eldest princess would definitely add in her mind, there is no way I can sleep well!

Everyone couldn't see anything from Xie Chuyue's face, nor could they hear what Xie Chuyue was thinking, so they could only say helplessly: "Your subjects are sleeping peacefully...right!"

They should be able to sleep peacefully!

"But I didn't sleep well last night!" When Emperor Mingde said this, his face showed no expression of sadness or joy, which made it difficult for the civil and military officials to understand.

The civil and military officials were panicked. Why didn't the emperor sleep well? Did someone among them anger the emperor?

His Majesty the Emperor was so angry that he didn't sleep well all night!

They finally found a reasonable explanation.

Emperor Mingde looked around and finally stopped at Prince Xuan: "Brother Xuan, why don't you tell me why I didn't sleep well?"

Prince Xuan stood up, still confused at this moment. What did it have to do with him that the dog emperor didn’t sleep well?

"I don't know why my brother didn't sleep well."

Xie Chuyue: [You bastard, you are always thinking about the chair under father's butt. There is no way father can sleep well. ]

Civil and Military Officials: It is confirmed, this wave is aimed at Prince Xuan. Hearing the words of the little troublemaker, did Prince Xuan do something?

Emperor Mingde: Does this girl have to be so blunt?

Xie Yunqing looked at Xie Yunqi who was standing on the other side and found that Xie Yunqi had a blank expression on his face. It seemed that the prince had already known what would happen in the morning court, but he was isolated from the news and did not know it at the first time.

Xie Yunshen: What? Could it be that his uncle Prince Xuan wants to seize the throne from his father?

After hearing what King Xuan said, Emperor Mingde was not angry. Instead, he looked at the Minister of War on the other side and said, "Lord Zhou, guess why I didn't sleep well last night?"

The Minister of War, who was called by name, shuddered and stood up tremblingly, "I am terrified, I don't know!"

"You should be afraid!" Emperor Mingde said this calmly, and then ordered: "Bring the people up!"

Soon, the leader of the Imperial Guards came in with the Minister of War's son Zhou Yi and saluted the emperor, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

Emperor Mingde nodded, and the leader of the Imperial Guards kicked Zhou Yi in the knee, and Zhou Yi fell to his knees.

"Mr. Zhou, the Minister of War, do you two, brother Prince Xuan, want to confess the truth, or do you want me to tell you myself?"

When they heard the emperor calling their names, they knelt down and said, "Your humble servants, we are terrified!"

Xie Chuyue was speechless for a while as she looked at the two people who were still being stubborn.

System: [Host, at this time, what are they still hiding? If Emperor Mingde doesn't find evidence, will he openly oppose them? How stupid. Host, I still don't understand, what is their motive for arresting those young girls? ]

Xie Chuyue: [It’s normal to not understand. I didn’t understand it at first, but later I found out that the Minister of War was close to King Xuan and there was some kind of deal. So I followed this clue and found this place! ]
