Abandoned daughter takes charge of the family, so rich that even the best people can't envy
Chapter 386 Princess Mansion
There has been frequent good news in southern Xinjiang these days, and the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of War are all very busy.
For these people, unifying southern Xinjiang was just a dream, and they didn't even dare to realize it. But now, this dream is about to become a reality.
They were so excited, even more excited than when they were enthroning a crown prince or having a successor to the country.
Therefore, even the Ministry of Rites was preparing for the ceremony of enthroning the crown prince while also planning a welcoming ceremony for the army returning triumphantly after the unification of southern Xinjiang.
Grand Princess Mansion.
"Your Highness, do you really want to do this? If we fail, we will have no way out." asked the Grand Princess's trusted maid.
The eldest princess' eyes were gloomy: "Chi'er will have to leave the palace and set up a residence after her wedding. If I don't do it now, after the southern border is recovered and the army returns victorious, I will have no chance.
Especially Song Jinxiu, who actually invented artemisinin? Maybe she can even detoxify the poison. Therefore, I must act before she returns to the capital. As long as Chi'er ascends the throne, the world will belong to me."
The confidant exclaimed: "Ascend to the throne? Not the crown prince?"
The Grand Princess snorted coldly, "Hmph! Since he's unwilling to make Chi'er the Crown Prince, then we don't need to go through all this trouble. Go, get Yu Ding here."
"Yes." The trusted maidservant was startled and went out in person to take the order.
Soon, a tall woman dressed in gorgeous clothes walked in.
"Yu Ding greets His Highness." Although this person was dressed as a woman, he performed as a man and spoke in a man's voice.
Yes, this person is Yu Ding, the confidant of Prince Yin.
After Prince Yin failed in his attempt to force the emperor to abdicate, his entire family was beheaded. Yu Ding disguised himself as a woman to avoid being seen by everyone and entered the Grand Princess's mansion as an aide.
Originally, the Grand Princess did not want to take him in, but Yu Ding took out a jade pendant and said that he was the illegitimate son of his brother, King Wei. Because of the incident with King Yin, he really had no way to escape, so he thought of his aunt, hoping to get her protection.
There was no doubt that the jade pendant belonged to her brother, the King of Wei, and the eldest princess kept him with doubts.
But Prince Yin forced the emperor to abdicate, and he was not of royal blood, which was a serious crime. Yu Ding had lived in the capital for several years, so in order to hide his tracks, Yu Ding always dressed as a woman in the mansion.
Since Yu Ding arrived, he has been giving advice to the Grand Princess and has done a lot of good things. He has also won over some of the remaining followers of the former Prince Yin.
These people were hiding in the dark, and the emperor could not find them during his thorough investigation.
Now that they have Prince Yin as leverage, these people can only pledge their loyalty to the Grand Princess. The person who had called Song Jinxiu a demon star in court last time and was executed by His Majesty was one of them.
In order to show off, these people did whatever they were told to do. As a result, the Grand Princess gradually accepted Yu Ding.
Even some confidential matters would be discussed with Yu Ding first.
The two of them discussed behind closed doors for nearly two hours and finally came up with a bold plan.
The Grand Princess paced back and forth. "It's a good plan, but any movement of the troops from the West Mountain Camp will surely alert the Imperial City Department. If I had known this day would come, I might as well have kept these people at the manor."
Yu Ding smiled and said, "Your Highness, what's the harm? Isn't there a second prince of the King of Southern Xinjiang at home? He has been kept for so long, it's time to put him to use."
The eldest princess glanced at him and said, "Oh? A fugitive prince, soon to be a slave of a conquered nation. What use can he be?"
She originally wanted to let the Second Prince of Southern Xinjiang put a curse on His Majesty, but she never found the opportunity.
Yu Ding smiled, "Your Highness, his purpose is to give the Xishan Camp a legitimate reason to dispatch troops."
Yu Ding's few words made the Grand Princess exclaim, "Wonderful, Yu Ding, you are indeed worthy of being my nephew. You are as smart as my brother."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness."
"Why are you still calling me Your Highness? From now on, just call me Aunt in private." The eldest princess looked kind.
Yu Ding lowered his eyelids. "Let's wait until the great cause is accomplished. His Highness has promised to make me king."
Hearing about Dayecheng, the eldest princess' eyes lit up, "Of course. Come, bring the second prince from Southern Xinjiang here."
The maid took the order and left, and Yu Ding also said goodbye and left.
At the beginning, the escape of the fourth prince of the Nuhan Kingdom was planned by Yu Ding with the help of the eldest princess, and by the way, the second prince of Southern Xinjiang was also brought out of prison.
The eldest princess, with the help of the fourth prince of the Nuhan Kingdom, hired an underworld organization to take the opportunity to assassinate the seventh prince. However, she did not expect that the seventh prince was surrounded by many secret guards and failed.
Later, the fourth prince of the Nuhan Kingdom was killed while fleeing, and the second prince of Southern Xinjiang was secretly hidden in the mansion by the eldest princess, thus avoiding the search of the Imperial City Bureau.
But God has eyes. Several princes fell ill after returning to the palace and almost died. It seems that God is helping her.
The eldest princess thought secretly.
Soon, a tall maid came over with her trusted maidservant. This person was the second prince of Southern Xinjiang.
In order to hide his identity, he dressed up as a woman just like Yu Ding, but he was not as good-looking as Yu Ding, so he could only dress up as an ugly woman.
The Grand Princess looked at the Second Prince of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom and asked, "Do you know that your Southern Xinjiang Kingdom is about to be destroyed?"
The Second Prince of Southern Xinjiang was horrified. "Are you serious, Your Highness?"
He was confined in the Grand Princess's Mansion and knew nothing about the outside world.
The Grand Princess glanced at him and said, "There's no need for me to deceive you. I just learned about this today. So I want to discuss a deal with you."
"Your Highness, I will give your orders." He is now living under someone else's roof and a prisoner. What qualifications does he have to discuss business with the Grand Princess?
The Grand Princess came straight to the point and said, "To tell you the truth, I want Southern Xinjiang."
The Second Prince of Southern Xinjiang was stunned. Then he smiled bitterly and said:
"Your Highness wants Southern Xinjiang, but there's nothing I can do. I'm in Cangwu now and can't go back, let alone contact my old subordinates. Even if I could go back, our Southern Xinjiang would be destroyed just as Your Highness said. So if Your Highness wants Southern Xinjiang, it's better to ask your Emperor Cangwu."
The Grand Princess looked at him and said, "I can send you back and give you a batch of bows and crossbows. I want you to protect the southern border and support me. Are you willing?"
"Your Highness wants to help me? Does Your Highness want to rebel?" The second prince of Southern Xinjiang was even more confused.
The eldest princess' eyes suddenly flashed with hatred. "Hmph! My brother is the murderer of my mother. Tell me, should I leave a way out for myself?"
The Second Prince of Southern Xinjiang looked at the Grand Princess to make sure she was not lying.
Since it was the murderer of her mother, it was reasonable for the Grand Princess to do so. Given her current situation, as the Grand Princess had just said, she would not bother to lie to herself.
"Okay, if I can successfully return to Southern Xinjiang and defeat the Cangwu Dingguo Army, we in Southern Xinjiang will follow your lead from now on."
The Second Prince of Southern Xinjiang had a sincere expression on his face, but he secretly thought in his heart, "As long as I arrive in Southern Xinjiang, I will have the final say on what to do."
The Grand Princess sneered in her heart, but said cordially, "Okay, I will send the guard elder Lu to escort you personally."
After she finished speaking, she shouted towards the door, "Lao Lu, you will lead thirty people to personally escort the Second Prince back to Southern Xinjiang."
Receiving the Grand Princess's hint, a bearded man standing at the door said, "Yes."
The Second Prince of the Southern Xinjiang King looked at Lao Lu and thought to himself: Why does the chief guard of the Grand Princess's Mansion look like a bandit?
Watching the Second Prince of Southern Xinjiang leave, the Grand Princess issued several orders in succession.
