Hidden in the court

The next morning, in front of Prince Jin's Mansion.

Ji Mingshang said goodbye to Zhao Yao, followed by three carriages of gold and silver. The first carriage was very spacious. The body was painted with gold paint, and the surface had various gorgeous carvings and decorations. The top of the body was a semicircular dome, decorated with various paintings and gems. It was very gorgeous and luxurious.

Behind Ji Mingshang was Rushuang, who was dressed up beautifully.

"Shuang'er, please be sure to serve (protect) the Crown Prince well along the way." Her voice was not small, for fear that others might not hear it.

He then turned to Zhao Yao and gave him a look that said "I understand you".

If they weren't acting, Zhao Yao would have glared at him.

Then, Ji Mingshang stepped forward and hugged Zhao Yao, whispering in Zhao Yao's ear, "If Rushuang loses even a hair, don't come back."

Hearing this, Zhao Yao silently rolled his eyes in his heart, but still had a smile on his face.

Inside the main hall of Liangwu Palace

Nangong Lin sat on the dragon throne, staring at the civil and military officials below, making many of them feel uneasy.

For a moment, one could hear a pin drop in the hall, and those who had something to hide did not even dare to breathe.

After a long time, Lowe, the head of all officials, spoke to break the silence.

"Your Majesty, today is the day to release the hostages from the Northern Territory. Is it appropriate for only the son of Prince Jin, Ji Mingshang, to come forward on this matter?"

Seeing someone paving the way, Nangong Lin spoke up: "Let him go. Today, the prince of the northern border will go back, and no one is allowed to cause trouble for Liangwu. Do you understand? "

"The ministers obey the order."

Zhao Yao and his party left the capital and headed west, walking very slowly.

On the sixth day, Xihe Huchen returned to Liangwu and was invited to the place where he was. He saw a room full of important officials of the court.

"We are waiting to welcome His Highness!"

Xihe Huchen rolled his eyes inwardly and sat on the main seat with his horse and sword.

"Everyone, please speak up if you have any ideas. I still have to go to the palace to report. It would be bad if I go too late."

Everyone heard this and didn't hesitate. An old man immediately stood up and said, "The Crown Prince is about to return to the court. We plan to send assassins to kill him at the narrow gap. If this is successful, it will definitely help the Second Prince ascend the throne."

Xihe Huchen frowned after hearing this and thought, "Damn it, these old guys can't wait any longer, right? They want to do something to my brother, right? I have to tell my brother right away."

He thought in his heart, but said: "If it doesn't work, when the prince returns to the court, my father will be furious. At that time..."

Before Xihe Huchen finished speaking, the old man spoke again: "We will attack him with rolling logs first. If that fails, we will send out fifty soldiers, and no matter whether they succeed or fail, they will all take poison. Then we will burn him with kerosene. Even if the prince cannot be burned to death, we can leave no trace. If His Majesty brings it up, we can build momentum in the court and push the blame on Liang Wu."

"This is fucking sinister!" Xihe Huchen thought to himself, but he couldn't help laughing.

"In this way, it is truly foolproof. Okay." Xihe Huchen slapped the chair and stood up suddenly. The armrest of the chair was smashed by his palm, which scared everyone.

"There is no time to lose. Everyone, please make your arrangements. When I ascend the throne, you will all be credited as meritorious officials."

After saying that, Xihe Huchen went out and headed for the palace, leaving the group of people there to daydream about the future.

"Farewell to Your Highness."

Northern Palace

"Father, I have something to report. Those people headed by the Wu family can't sit still anymore and want to kill my brother at the narrow passage."
