Raiders of peasant girls

Chapter 440
When Emperor Yun Zhao heard the words, the corners of his mouth paused, and he had no choice but to wave his hand to let people go out.

After leaving the palace, Jingyao returned directly to Xilingbo's mansion.Thinking of the group of petitioners she met at the gate of the palace, and thinking of Emperor Yunzhao's questioning of her today, she guessed that Emperor Yunzhao wanted to save the second prince.Otherwise, people will check the second prince, but so far only people have checked the Liu family, but no one has checked the empress Liu and the second prince.

Hehe, I have to say that Emperor Yunzhao still has that son in his heart.

It's just the trend of the times, and it's not something he can keep if he wants to.No one will investigate in the open, so she doesn't believe that the Mei family will not investigate secretly at this juncture?

The answer is yes, the second prince is the only legitimate son, and he has a clear advantage in the battle for the throne.Moreover, the Liu family's crimes did not accrue to the second prince, so the second prince still has the qualifications to seize the throne.

How can this work?The eldest prince who has the heart to seize the position and the Mei family behind him will not allow such a thing to happen.

So at this time, she just needs to watch quietly, add fire at the critical moment, and after the second prince of the Liu family is completely wiped out, even if Emperor Yunzhao gets angry, it will be a trouble for the Mei family, and has nothing to do with her.

"Princess, what should we do now?" In the study, Shiwu asked for instructions.

"Wait!"

At this time, just wait and see if the Mei family will kill the second prince, and when the Liu family who has already hid in the dark will counterattack.

In fact, Jingyao didn't have to wait too long for this day. The 23rd of the twelfth lunar month is called Xiaonian by everyone.

The Mei family presented the collected information to Emperor Yunzhao in the court hall one day before the year. When Emperor Yunzhao saw those things, he scolded the Mei family members first, but finally gave the second prince to him. Locked in the mansion.

Although no clear verdict was given, anyone with a discerning eye would know that the second prince is abolished.

"Princess, are you going to the palace banquet tonight?" Xiaonian's palace banquet was not canceled by Emperor Yunzhao.It's just that everyone still feels that this year's palace banquet is not as lively as previous years.Even the food served is much more economical than in previous years, Jingyao thought to herself that this small New Year's banquet is actually quite similar to the New Year's Eve dinner of those modern companies.

The emperor is the big boss of a country, and the courtiers are employees. The small New Year banquet is for the big boss to reward the employees who have been busy for a year, so even though Emperor Yunzhao is not in the mood, this small New Year banquet is still held.

"Go, why don't you go?" The weather in the north is too cold, Jingyao has reached the point where she has to hug the stove wherever she goes.

Stirring the wick in the incense burner, he said calmly, "Go and see how the old lady's preparations are going. There is an experienced nanny around to serve you."

"Also, go and call Fifteen to see me."

"Yes"

Not long after, Shiwu was already waiting in the study, and Hua San, one of the Hua brothers, came with him.

As soon as Jingyao saw Huasan, she knew there was big news.Since arriving in the capital, Hua San has basically been in charge of collecting information, and now it's no small matter to get Hua San to come here.

"What happened?"

Hua San nodded, "Girl, our people discovered that a large number of people have been haunting outside the city."

"How many people are there?"

"At least there should be tens of thousands of people!"

"When did those people show up?"

"Three days ago!"

Jing Yao frowned quietly, and asked after a while, "Can you find any other abnormalities? Who is the leader of those people and horses? Did you find out?"

"I don't know who the leader is, but my subordinates followed the leader and saw that he went to the mansion of the guarding general in the city."

"Go, immediately arrange our people at the gate of the city. If there is any abnormality, immediately control the guarding general. Bring the explosives, and if something is wrong, we will solve it outside the city gate."

"Fifteen, you lead people to sneak into Liu's mansion first, secretly plant explosives around Liu's mansion, and then go to the second prince's mansion to control the second prince."

After giving the order, everyone knew that something important might happen, so they didn't dare to slack off, and they were about to get ready with the order.

"Xiaoyue, go and gather all the guards in our mansion for backup."

"Xiao Yu, go and tidy up, and bring two people to spread the news that the eldest prince will choose the main concubine and side concubine to each mansion."

For a while, Xiaoyue and Xiaoyu didn't quite understand why the princess gave such orders suddenly, but the execution of orders as slaves is the most important thing.

In the afternoon, carriages stopped at the gate of the palace one after another. If you look closely, there will be two beautifully dressed girls on the carriages.Brocade clothes, jewels, face powder, rouge lips, beautiful and pretty.

There are so few outstanding ones that even Jingyao couldn't help but take a second look.

"Princess, is the eldest prince really going to choose a concubine today?" Xiaoyue asked curiously.She doesn't seem to have heard of it.

"How do I know?" Jingyao blinked her big eyes witchily when she heard the words.

"Ah?" Xiaoyue silently sweated, the princess didn't know?Wasn't it the princess who sent Xiao Yu the news?
Because she was the one who went out to spread the news, Xiaoyu guessed a little bit, and said lightly, "It doesn't matter if it's true, as long as they believe it's true." As he spoke, his eyes looked at Xiaoyue and Miao Cuilan glanced at her and said, "Tonight, you have to keep an eye on the masters, one or two nasty things happen every year at the palace banquet, let's not be tricked by others."

Jingyao laughed when she heard that, "Look, Xiao Yu is caring."

"Princess!" Xiao Yu was thin-skinned, and felt a little embarrassed to hear Jing Yao's praise.

Originally, Jingyao wanted to make some more jokes, but seeing this, she also changed the subject.

Soon after arriving at the second gate of the imperial palace, Jingyao got out of the carriage, and the little eunuch who was waiting next to her immediately picked up a soft sedan chair and waited beside her.

After Jingyao got off the carriage, she went to open the curtain of Yuan's carriage first, and helped her down.This was Yuan's first time entering the palace, so she was inevitably a little nervous.Jingyao supported her, and she could feel her body trembling a little.

She looked at Xiao Qi and the other brothers again, and found that Da Lang was also a little nervous, but Xiao Si and Xiao Wu were all fine. She thought it might be because of their young age and newborn calves.

"Don't worry, grandma, our emperor is a benevolent one. Besides, Nanny Fang will be by Grandma's side later, and she will remind you of what to do. And my father is already in the palace, waiting for the eldest brother Just follow my father, if there is anything to do with my father, those people dare not be presumptuous."

"understood."

After Yuan Shi got into the soft sedan chair, the people from Xilingbo's residence went to the main hall under the leadership of the young eunuch.

When we arrived at the main hall, many people had already arrived.Seeing Jingyao coming in, many people stepped forward to say hello, which is much better than when she entered the palace for the Dragon Boat Festival.
