The eldest prince was stunned when he heard her suggestion. He knew Yu Zizhen's intention, but the question was, how could he find the conditions to dig a tunnel in his palace?

You know, there are many informants around him and the emperor. As long as these people find even the slightest thing wrong, they will immediately tell the master behind them.

Of course Yu Zizhen knew this, but she felt that the situation was now in such chaos that the eldest prince and the emperor could actually make some extraordinary moves.

She said to Xiao Yuanjin: "Anyway, Lu Tong and Xiao Lu have made it clear now that they are going to deal with Your Majesty. If the Queen Mother cannot hold on, do you think you and Your Majesty can survive under Xiao Lu?"

Xiao Yuanjin could answer Yu Zizhen directly without thinking, "No."

He took a deep breath and said, "Let me ask my father what he means."

Yu Zizhen nodded, "Now the dead men sent by Lu Tong to assassinate Mr. Yang have spoken out. After being tortured, they confessed that it was Mr. Fan Ge's eldest son, Fan Zhongming's father, who instigated them to kill Mr. Yang."

As for the motive for the killing, the dead soldiers said that they were just dead soldiers who followed orders, and they really didn't know the motive.

Of course Fan Ting's family would not accept such a big blame, but with the confessions of those dead men, Jingzhao Mansion could justifiably take Fan Zhongming's father to the government office for questioning and even take him into custody.

Seeing those people rushing into Fan's house with a strong attitude, and "asking" his eldest son away without any politeness, Fan Ting knew that the Lu family could no longer tolerate them.

What he did not tell his children and grandchildren was that he had already realized this when Yang Zhengde was assassinated in the street.

At that time, he had already asked his confidants to transfer a lot of property. However, Fan Ting did not expect that the Lu family would break up with him so quickly.

He didn't know that the great Lu family actually didn't agree with what Lu Tong did, and Lu Tong had no intention of turning back. He had to accomplish what he originally planned.

In order to prevent Da Lu from being free to stop him, he not only instructed the ghosts in Da Lu's palace to increase the dosage of the medicine, but also took advantage of Da Lu's weakness to aggressively eliminate dissidents.

It was his anxiety that made Fan Ting miscalculate, and he did not have time to move the old, weak, women and children at home.

When Fan's mansion was surrounded by troops from the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, Fan Ting felt regretful and heartbroken.

What he regrets is that his pride has harmed his family members, and what makes him heartbroken is that most of his children and grandchildren may not all die at the hands of Lu Tong in the near future.

The only thing that made him fortunate was probably that his second son and eldest daughter's family were no longer within the siege range of Daqi soldiers and horses.

His second son and eldest son-in-law were both released and were not in the capital at this time. Now that their Fan Mansion was under siege, the manpower he left outside the mansion would naturally quickly spread the news to his second son and eldest son-in-law.

With the profound heritage accumulated by the Fan family over the past five to six hundred years, and their unique close interpersonal network as a wealthy family, Fan Ting believed that his second son and eldest daughter's family would not fall into Lu Tong's hands. .

He was mentally prepared to fight to the death with the Lu family until everyone in the family breathed their last breath, including his eldest son and his family, including Fan Zhongming, as well as his younger son and daughter who had not yet married or were married. People, but none of them are as ruthless as Fan Ting.

As the eldest son and grandson of the Fan family, Fan Zhongming and his father were not very concerned about their own safety, but they could not bear to let the innocent children in the family suffer too. Fan Zhongming's second brother is three and a half years younger than him, and is still just an older boy now, not to mention his third brother and two younger sisters who are still childish.

These four people are all brothers and sisters of his compatriot mother. Fan Zhongming really can't bear to wait for them to die in political struggles.

He had the idea of ​​sending away the old, weak, women and children at home, and also managed to sneak out, find Yu Zizhen who had just come out of the palace, and asked her to help his family, who was about to collapse the building.

Yu Zizhen really didn't expect that Fan Zhongming would come to help her. She was very surprised and said to Fan Zhongming: "I thought you would go to Chen Hushan."

After all, although they usually hang out with the eldest prince, their relationship with the eldest prince, Yu Zizhen, Fang Huaiying, and Yang Shixian is never as good as the relationship between the four of them. close.

Yu Zizhen could clearly feel that there was some gap between these two people and the four of them.

Hearing what she said, Fan Zhongming's face suddenly turned visibly gray.

Yu Zizhen was startled by his sudden face-changing stunt. She quickly explained: "Don't think too much, I'm not mocking you, I really think so. After all, you do have a better relationship with him."

Fan Zhongming couldn't deny this, and a wry smile appeared on his lips. Before that, he did get along better with Chen Hushan.

In his opinion, Chen Hushan was as smart as him, while Yu Zizhen, like Yang Shixian, had a bit of stupidity in him.

In the past, Fan Zhongming felt that if he had close contact with such people, he would surely be implicated sooner or later by their recklessness and so-called principles.

At that time, he never imagined that one day, when the Fan family was in trouble, he thought about it and found that the only person who could trust the women and children in the family was not Chen Hushan, who had the same temperament as him and knew how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but Chen Hushan. It was Yu Zizhen, a reckless person who was secretly disliked by him for not being tactful enough.

At this time, Fan Zhongming no longer cared about the so-called dignity and dignity of the eldest grandson of his wealthy family. He knew that when facing someone like Yu Zizhen, frankness was the fastest way to win people's trust.

Taking a deep breath, Fan Zhongming analyzed his changed thoughts very straightforwardly.

Yu Zizhen did not make things difficult for him. She said, "In that case, I will help Brother Fan."

The two of them discussed how to steal the person out of the capital and smoothly take him out of the capital. After all the things that needed attention were finalized, Yu Zizhen leaned on the back of the carriage seat and said, "Don't worry, they will only be there on this journey." Obey the command and actively cooperate, and my people will do their best to protect them."

She didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Fan Zhongming still heard what she meant - if his family couldn't figure it out and wanted to become guests, then Yu Zizhen's people would never tolerate them.

It's not possible to kill him, but it's very possible to let him go and do nothing.
