Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 224 swear to accompany you to the death
But the fifteenth prince couldn't wait for so long. Without any heirs, even if he tried his best to become the throne, he was not qualified.

Then, who would the child in the side concubine's belly belong to?
What the young emperor thought of, Long Zhiyu must also think of it, and immediately couldn't think of it.I thought it was a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true. It is estimated that Long Zhiyu can only knock out his teeth and swallow blood, and hide this secret.

The guards outside the door heard the young emperor laugh out loud to himself in the middle of the night, making their backs shiver with gloom.

The emperor was imprisoned for a few days, is he just crazy?
The guards outside the mansion did not withdraw, but they did not barge in again, Xie Yanniang still felt uneasy.

Ruan Jingxin has been in the palace for two days, and there is no movement in the palace.

The eldest princess sent people to watch outside the palace, but there was not much news coming out.

She twisted a sunspot and put it down, looking at the absent-minded Xie Yanniang opposite, she reminded: "It's your turn."

Xie Yanniang pinched the white piece, and then she came back to her senses, staring at the chessboard, she still didn't put it down: "Eldest princess, why am I in the mood to play chess now?"

"Anyway, waiting is waiting, it's useless for you to worry any more." The eldest princess threw down the sunspot in her hand, and said rather boringly: "Don't worry, the regent will not be caught so easily, if so, you have underestimated him." .”

"No news is good news. There is only one regent, and he won't mess around."

Seeing that Xie Yanniang was still worried, the eldest princess rarely comforted her: "You are still here, how can the regent be willing to lose his life?"

Hearing this, Xie Yanniang smiled wryly: "I hope so... Anyway, I just want him to come back safely."

"Yes," the eldest princess sighed, thinking back then she only had such a simple wish, but unfortunately, even such a small wish could not be realized in the end.

Mammy came in and whispered something in her ear, then quickly withdrew.The eldest princess met her expectant eyes, and said with a smile: "There was a fire in the palace, and thick smoke was billowing. The eyeliner outside the palace saw it. It was in the direction of the stables, and it was quickly extinguished."

Xie Yanniang raised her heart, the stable caught fire, it must have been caused by Ruan Jingxin.

It's just that if he set fire, wouldn't that make Long Zhiyu more vigilant?

Maybe Ruan Jingxin planned to save the young emperor, but unfortunately he was discovered before he even made a move, so he had to delay?

She was thinking wildly, and then heard the eldest princess say: "The exit of the secret passage is the farthest from the stable. It seems that he doesn't want to reveal the location of the exit, so as not to cause trouble to me. If the stable is on fire, he can take advantage of the chaos to get where he wants to go. As expected of the regent, you should rest assured, right?"

Xie Yanniang blushed, and twisted another white ball.

He said he wanted to play chess with the eldest princess, but unfortunately he was absent-minded, the chess pieces were played in a mess, and he lost two games in a row, which really shouldn't be.

The two of you come and go, and finally evened out.

The eldest princess smiled: "It's only the princess who can make me play chess so happily. Those who are not interesting, either have insufficient chess skills and put on a show, just to please me. It's really boring."

The servant girl brought the refreshments, and saw Mammy come in again, with a dignified expression, she whispered in the ear of the Eldest Princess.

The eldest princess frowned, turned her head and said to Xie Yanniang: "There are some suspicious people outside the palace who seem to want to sneak into the palace. They look like people from the Qing Dynasty, but the calluses on their hands don't seem to be left by farming. On the contrary, it's like holding a sword all year round."

Xie Yanniang couldn't help worrying: "Is it because people from other countries plan to fish in troubled waters and make the palace even more chaotic?"

"There is a possibility that if the army of the Rong tribe attacks the Qing Kingdom, if other small countries are bought by the Rong tribe, they may take risks to get a piece of the pie." The eldest princess said with a sullen face, "I have already been watched by others, and I just play by ear. It’s not good to take the initiative to stop him and expose his whereabouts.”

After all, she couldn't help but fell silent.

No matter who comes, I'm afraid the person who comes is not good!
Sure enough, the two had tea in silence for a while, and the nanny came again, this time without avoiding Xie Yanniang: "The eyeliner reported back, saying that those people have bulging waists, pretending to be thieves and wanting to snatch the money bag inadvertently, the other party's skill Quickly, he avoided it easily, he only tore off the skirt, and saw the pattern inside, which is the symbol of the Rong tribe."

The eldest princess took a deep breath. There was an army of Rong people in front, and spies of Rong people were about to infiltrate the palace. , no matter how worthless this younger brother is, he shouldn't collude with foreign enemies, especially those who are as ambitious as the Rong people. Who knows, I may have misjudged my eyes, and there is really nothing wrong with it?"

She sneered, she was really disappointed in this younger brother: "Fortunately, the father is wise, and he didn't pass the throne to this hopeless young brother at the beginning. If the country is destroyed, everyone will be forced to become subjugated slaves by him!"

The eldest princess blushed with anger, and the nanny quickly followed her to comfort her.

It took her a while to calm down, and said sneeringly: "My good brother is going to lure wolves into the house, I can't just watch him mess around. How many of them are there, and is there any internal response?"

"At present, it seems that there is no internal response. It may be a private action, and perhaps the fifteenth prince does not know about it." The mother said in a low voice, and then said: "There are four people in total, but I don't know if anyone is hiding there. somewhere else."

"Then you can't wait any longer, you tell the people outside that I want to enter the palace." The eldest princess pondered for a moment, and decided to solve it herself.

The head of the personal guards heard that the eldest princess was finally willing to enter the palace, so he immediately led someone to escort her without saying a word.

Said it was an escort, more like worrying that she changed her mind halfway and ran away.

The eldest princess brought a few confidants and guards around her. Although they looked delicate, they were all first-class experts.

It's not safe for Xie Yanniang to stay in the Princess Mansion, so she simply brought people with her: "I promise the Prince Regent will take good care of you, and I won't let you stay alone."

Xie Yanniang looked at the mansion, and couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Then what about the Princess, it seems that it is wrong for the eldest princess to leave her alone."

She has no martial arts skills, so being with the eldest princess would be a drag. It would be better to accompany the princess, at least to protect the princess from being held hostage to threaten the eldest princess.

"Don't worry about it, Princess...Of course someone is watching." The eldest princess didn't want to say any more, the carriage had already set off, so there was no need to delay, they had to get to the palace gate as soon as possible.

The carriage was going fast, and the leader of the personal guards led people to chase after him all the way.

He didn't expect that the eldest princess would suddenly be so eager to enter the palace, and before she had time to report to the palace, there were only a few horses beside her, and the rest could only run behind to keep up.

The leader of the personal guards had nothing to do with this eccentric eldest princess, so he could only follow closely behind, while urging the soldiers behind not to fall behind.

After finally rushing to the palace gate, the soldiers were all out of breath.

The eldest princess stopped the carriage suddenly and insisted not to enter the palace through the main entrance.

The head of the personal guard simply felt that the princess was unreasonable, so he could only follow her wishes and go around to another palace gate.

The eldest princess was still not satisfied, so she walked around to another door, and just happened to meet someone delivering ingredients into the imperial dining room, she suddenly pointed at the people pushing the cart and said, "Where are these farmers from, they are so tall?"

When the leader of the personal guard saw it, he was immediately vigilant, and stepped forward with a knife: "Who is it? It is the emperor's order to lock the palace gate. Who told you to let outsiders in?"

The Imperial Forest Army guarding the gate was baffled, and the palace gate was locked, so it was fine to keep outsiders from entering.Those who deliver food are not allowed in, what do so many people in the palace eat, is it the northwest wind?

The eldest princess didn't wait for the gate guard to speak, she raised her hand, and the maid beside her understood, she drew out the soft sword at her waist and stabbed the people pushing the cart.

The guard guarding the gate was taken aback, thinking that these farmers were about to be killed for no reason, but he couldn't help being dumbfounded the next moment.

Where are the ordinary farmers, they all took out a dagger from their arms, and rushed towards the servant girl viciously.

The servant girl yelled at the right time: "It's the Rong people, the people of the Rong people!"

The leader of the personal guards came back to his senses, and immediately asked the guards behind him to go forward and capture a few people.If they can be captured alive, it will be a great achievement to pry open their mouths and ask if there are other Rong people.

No matter how powerful the Rong people are, they are hard to beat with two fists and four hands, especially when there are hundreds of guards, and the guards are constantly rushing over from the palace.

Several people were beheaded, and the guards suffered heavy casualties.

The leader of the personal guards saw that there were dead and wounded all over the place, and he was also covered in blood, but his face was still solemn. Could it be that the eldest princess had already sensed that something was wrong in the palace, so she rushed over?
He looked at the carriage, and heard the eldest princess say: "The Rong people sneaked in, I'm afraid this is not the only place. I know you are loyal to the fifteen princes, but the national crisis is imminent, and you don't want Qing to fall into the hands of the Rong people." , become a slave of the Rong people?"

Hearing this, the leader of the personal guard shuddered.

He had heard that the Rong people treated slaves worse than animals.

The Rong people were in constant famine, and if they didn't have enough food, they would slaughter slaves for lunch.

But they don't like to eat dead meat, they only like to eat fresh meat, which is cut from living people.

Just listening to it is creepy.

It's fine to give him a knife, but to cut his flesh every day is really worse than death.

The leader of the personal guard immediately nodded, expressing his determination: "The eldest princess just orders, and the subordinates and others will follow to the death, and will never let the Rong people step into the palace!"

"Very good!" The eldest princess smiled with satisfaction. Although she was Long Zhiyu's running dog, she was still a bloody man and would not allow foreign enemies to trample on her land.

"Immediately have people check the palace gates everywhere, and don't let outsiders sneak in. It's best to replace the guards guarding the gates. They don't know, and they can easily be blinded and let the Rong people succeed."

The leader of the personal guard hesitated for a moment, but in the end his desire not to be a subjugated slave prevailed.In the four palace gates, besides his confidants, there is also a maidservant of the eldest princess.After all, the guards are not as careful as the woman, and one more person is a little more cautious, he readily agreed.

But Xie Yanniang could see that the eldest princess left her own people at the gate of the palace, she was leaving a way out.
