Abandoned daughter takes charge of the family, so rich that even the best people can't envy

"The imperial star is swaying high above Mars, and suddenly a madman sharpens his knife at night! His mission is to reform the emperor, so don't look at him. The city is full of wronged souls, which is unbearable to look at."

What does this mean? Does it mean that His Majesty has died? Otherwise, how could a new ruler come to power to reform the country?

Song Jinxiu was feeling uneasy and tried to comfort herself: This was because I was worried about His Majesty and I was thinking about it during the day, which led to dreams at night.

But she had long wanted to grow wings and fly to the capital.

At this time, the warhorse under her was sweating profusely and its pace had slowed down. Song Jinxiu let it rest in the space and replaced it with her own black horse, Tayun.

After speeding all the way, the outline of the capital city finally became clearer and clearer.

Just as the horse turned around a slope, she waved her hand, and the secret guard in the space instantly appeared at the fork in the road.

Song Jinxiu took the lead, followed by Su Chuan and the thirty-six guards closely behind.

The sound of horse hooves had already alarmed the soldiers of the Xishan Camp who were guarding the city gate.

At night, they suddenly received an imperial edict from His Majesty, ordering the soldiers of the Xishan Camp to impose martial law in the imperial city overnight because a plague had broken out in the capital.

Upon receiving the imperial edict, the commander-in-chief of the Xishan camp, Cheng Huizhi, became so angry that he fainted.

Deputy General Ji Yuandi temporarily took over the position of commander-in-chief and led the soldiers of the Xishan camp to take over the four gates of the capital overnight.

At this time, it was Ji Yuandi who was guarding the west gate.

When Song Jinxiu and the other two arrived on horseback, they saw from afar a group of soldiers blocking their way.

A soldier shouted, "Who are you? There's a plague in the capital. Martial law has been declared. Leave immediately."

plague?

Song Jinxiu narrowed her eyes and ordered Junjun, "Junjun, go to the city quickly to check. Wear a mask."

"Understood, sir." Treasure-hunting rat Junjun flashed out of the space and ran away.

The three men did not slow down and arrived in front of the soldiers in a blink of an eye. Su Chuan stepped forward with the token in hand: "Her Royal Highness the Princess has returned to the capital. Open the city gates immediately."

Looking at the token in Su Chuan's hand, it was undoubtedly the eldest princess's token.

The soldiers exchanged glances, and one stepped forward, clasping his hands and saying, "Your Highness, the city gates cannot be opened right now. There's a plague inside!"

Song Jinxiu gave him a cold look and ordered, "Get out of the way."

How could she not believe that there was a plague in the capital? Moreover, even if there was a plague, the city gate would not be so quiet, without even a vehicle transporting herbs.

Just then, Ji Yuandi walked over from the city gate.

He didn't recognize Song Jinxiu, but when he heard she was the eldest princess, his eyes flashed and he said, "Your Highness, there is indeed a plague in the city. The Xishan camp has been ordered to guard the city gates, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

"On orders? Who are you? On whose orders?" Song Jinxiu looked down at him condescendingly.

Because of the astrological warning, Song Jinxiu already had a preconceived notion. She suspected that these people were mutinying under the guise of plague.

However, the commander of the Xishan camp, Cheng Huizhi, is a close confidant of His Majesty, which made her unable to help but ask more questions.

Otherwise, she didn't have time to talk to them.

Ji Yuandi bowed his hands to the sky and said in a clear voice, "Your Highness, it is His Majesty's order that a plague has broken out in the Imperial City. Your Majesty and the Crown Prince have been infected. The Crown Prince is now acting as Regent and has ordered us to impose martial law in the Imperial City."

Song Jinxiu was shocked. His Majesty is infected? Does that mean His Majesty is in danger?

Her face turned cold and she ordered, "Open the city gates. This princess wants to see His Majesty."

Ji Yuandi remained unmoved and continued, "Your Majesty cares deeply about the world and loves the people like his own children. He said that even if everyone in the imperial city were to perish, the plague must not be allowed to spread and harm the people of the world. Therefore, this city gate cannot be opened."

As Ji Yuandi spoke, his eyes turned red and he looked sad.

Song Jinxiu stopped talking to him and waved the tiger talisman in front of him, saying, "Here is the tiger talisman, General Ji, open the city gate immediately."

Ji Yuandi was stunned. Was it really the tiger talisman?

Then his eyes lit up.

It turned out that the tiger talisman was in her hands. It was really a case of searching for something without any effort, but it was finally obtained.

Suddenly, he shouted sternly, "How dare you impersonate Her Royal Highness the Princess? Come, arrest her for me."

"Let's see who dares!"

Su Chuan rushed forward, pulled out the short axe on her back, and with a swing of her hands, the axe was already on Ji Yuandi's neck.

Ji Yuandi was extremely shocked. He had never expected that this little maid would be so skilled!

But he wasn't easily frightened. He immediately calmed down and said in a cold voice, "The Princess is currently fighting in Southern Xinjiang. Who are you? How dare you impersonate Her Royal Highness the Princess? And how dare you kidnap this general? What is your crime?"

Song Jinxiu narrowed her eyes: There is something wrong with this Ji Yuandi.

As the deputy general of the Xishan camp, it is impossible for him not to recognize the tiger talisman. The eldest princess is here with the tiger talisman. Regardless of his status or military power, he should obey her orders unconditionally.

But he didn't. Not only did he not obey the order, he also detained himself for rebellion.

That only means one thing: he did it on purpose.

Song Jinxiu glanced at the soldiers of the Xishan camp who were eyeing her covetously. She was not sure whether the people here would stand on her side.

After all, their general was Ji Yuandi.

If I kill Ji Yuandi, will these people really think that I am a fake princess?

She took a quick glance and saw that there were nearly five hundred soldiers at the west gate. Forcing her way in with the thirty-six guards wouldn't be easy. If a fight broke out, there would inevitably be casualties.

She had just returned from the battlefield. The soldiers of the Dragon and Tiger Battalion were fighting for their country. The Dragon and Tiger Battalion originated from the Xishan Camp. If these were the people she took away at the beginning, then were these people her Dragon and Tiger Battalion?

Why should the royal family sacrifice the lives of these innocent people when they are fighting for power?

So, Song Jinxiu hesitated.

She thought for a moment and asked the stunned soldier beside her, "Is Cheng Huizhi here?"

A soldier looked at Song Jinxiu suspiciously. Could it be that the princess's token was fake?

But when he met Song Jinxiu's gaze, his heart skipped a beat, but he still replied, "Our commander received the imperial edict and was so angry that he lost his breath and passed out. The military doctor said that the commander is in great danger and has ordered Deputy Ji to temporarily command the Xishan camp to guard the imperial city."

fainted?

Forget it, His Majesty's life or death is unknown now, she can't waste time here with them. Song Jinxiu winked at the secret guards, then ordered the warhorse to turn around and leave.

Since it's troublesome here, let's change the city gate or directly climb over the city wall.

However, she wanted to leave, but someone wouldn't let her go.

Seeing his master leave, Su Chuan retracted his axe. As soon as Ji Yuandi was free, he shouted, "Stop this woman pretending to be the princess."

Suddenly, five hundred soldiers formed a battle array and surrounded them.

It turned out that Ji Yuandi had evil intentions as soon as he saw the tiger talisman in her hand.

He was originally from the Ji family and was Prince Yin's confidant stationed in the capital.

When Prince Yin was enfeoffed, he was placed in the Xishan Camp before going to Liangzhou. After so many years, he finally climbed to the position of second-in-command of the Xishan Camp.

Now, the head coach Cheng Huizhi has been poisoned by him. The rage and anger were all fake, the military doctor was his man.
