Chapter 59 Rebellion against his protection

The banquet began with singing and dancing.

Yun Xi walked alone in the Imperial Garden, wandering aimlessly. She couldn't find Ji Xun. Ever since he first appeared, he seemed to have disappeared, nowhere to be found.

She had already missed the opening of the party, and now she didn't want to go back.

"System, you didn't tell me that Ji Xun has such an identity." Yun Xi began to torture the system.

[System: According to your original script, you really shouldn't know.]

Yun Xi: "What do you mean I shouldn't know?"

[System: In the original storyline, there is no connection between Princess Roujia and Ji Xun. You are not supposed to know anyone except the restricted characters.]

Yun Xi sneered: "Haha."

So she never got the complete script from beginning to end?

This ** system.

At this point, Yun Xi could only accept her fate. Who made her reborn into a book that restricted power struggles?

As for Ji Xun... Yun Xi didn't know why he had been hiding it from her all this time, but she believed that he had his own plans.

Maybe he left before only because he recovered his memory.

She couldn't accept the fact that the former crown prince had to live under someone else's roof and be enslaved.

Now that he has become the crown prince of Jin, will he return to her?

Yun Xi thought it was impossible.

However, it was a good thing to know that he was still alive and she didn't need to worry about him anymore.

She could finally start planning her own escape route.

"Your Highness, so you're here!" A young eunuch suddenly came running over. "The Regent has been sending people everywhere looking for you."

Since someone had come looking for her specifically, Yun Xi didn't want to make things difficult for them, so she nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll be back soon, you guys go first."

She is now completely unaccustomed to having strangers around her, and always feels that her fake pregnancy will be exposed if she is not careful.

After sending the eunuch away, Yun Xi prepared to return to the banquet. She hadn't gone far when a cold autumn wind suddenly blew past, blowing the shawl from her wrist away.

She turned around and searched for a while, only to find that the shawl had been blown onto a dead tree not far away and was out of reach.

Yun Xi thought it was bad luck and didn't plan to take it. However, the next moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from the corner, easily touched the shawl on the treetop, and took it down.

Yun Xi was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was Ji Xun who came back. She started to chase him, but when she turned the corner, the man turned and left.

The man in white is not Ji Xun.

However, the man's profile that flashed before her eyes made Yun Xi freeze in place.

She never dreamed that one day she would see that face again.

How is that possible? It must be her illusion.

…

Back at the banquet, all the guests were already seated.

The main seat was vacant, the queen sat on the right, the regent was below the queen, and next to her were the kings, including King Yunli of Nanzhao.

"Princess Roujia has arrived!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Nanzhao King Yunli turned his gaze and fell on Yun Xi's belly, looking at her for a moment.

Yun Xi feigned composure and sat down beside the Queen. With so many eyes on her, she didn't dare to act rashly.

Fortunately, Xie Xun immediately attracted her attention and talked about the border war with the guests.

After toasting General Xie, the great contributor to this event, Yun Li suddenly took out a wine glass and wanted to toast Yun Xi.

Yun Xi had not forgotten the time when he deliberately made trouble for her in the Nanzhao Palace, and she was not in a good mood at the moment. She just hurriedly replaced the wine with tea and drank it with a cold face.

"Her Highness Roujia doesn't look well. Has she been treated harshly recently?" Yun Li took the opportunity to talk about it, smiling.

"Thank you for your concern, uncle. I have been feeling very comfortable recently. Uncle, please take care of yourself first." Yun Xi retorted.

Yun Li didn't let it go. Instead, he changed the subject: "I recently heard that Her Highness Roujia and the Regent have been disagreeing over the issue of the royal heir, and has been keeping Her Highness confined to the Princess's residence all day. I'm a little confused. Is the Regent assisting the Princess, or is he trying to replace her?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire banquet suddenly became quiet, and even General Xie's expression changed.

However, Xie Xun remained calm and said, "I am only following the late emperor's orders. The King of Nanzhao does not need to challenge me. After all, the throne must fall into the hands of someone the late emperor trusts."

Yun Li: "You mean, you don't even care about the royal bloodline?"

"Now that the King of Nanzhao has spoken, I will no longer hide it," Xie Xun said calmly, "Her Highness Roujia is not pregnant with an heir. Following the late emperor's order, I have found the true heir to the throne."

After he finished speaking, the whole audience was in an uproar, and Lian Yunxi was also surprised.

She didn't expect that after all her hard work in pretending, Xie Xun would see through her in an instant.

She really didn't have a baby in her belly, but now that it was broken, what should she do next...

Yun Li sneered, "Xie Xun, you finally admit your wicked ambitions and your desire to seize power and usurp the throne? Following the late emperor's order, huh? I'm afraid you forced my royal brother to write down his decree to abdicate to you before his death!"

"I knew your former troops were gathering in Jiangnan. I went there a few months ago and waited for General Xie to return before announcing Roujia's childlessness. You were just stalling for time so you could gather your troops and the Zhenxi Army back to Chang'an to rebel!"

Xie Xun did not explain this. He calmly pulled out an imperial edict from his sleeve and said, "King of Nanzhao, do you want to disobey my order?"

Yun Xi had no idea what was going on. Looking at the scene in front of her, her mind was in a complete mess.

What’s going on…why is it another new script that she didn’t get?

The Regent went south to gather troops for rebellion... How do these words form a sentence? Wasn't Xie Xun her father's most loyal minister?

“…”

Before she could come to her senses, a general among the guests suddenly stood up, and even General Xie slowly stood up. A group of Jinyiwei filed in, holding knives, and surrounded everyone in the banquet.

The queen and the ministers were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they sat in their seats, not daring to move.

Yun Xi was about to speak when the hem of her skirt was suddenly pulled. She turned around and saw a little servant wearing a gold mask. He was hiding behind the screen and winked at her.

Peony gold face.

This sense of familiarity made Yun Xi subconsciously choose to believe the little servant. When everyone was staring at the Regent and Yun Li, Yun Xi quietly left her seat and followed the little servant.

The golden-faced attendant pulled Yun Xi away to a place where there were no Jinyiwei guards, and then ran away so fast that Yun Xi almost couldn't catch up with him.

Passing through the red wall of the palace, a brown horse appeared in front of Yun Xi. The person sitting on the horse was the servant who had followed Ji Xun before.

"Princess, my name is Xuanqing. Excuse me." He jumped off the horse, and without waiting for Yun Xi to react, he lifted her onto the horse and supported her from behind.

Yun Xi's forehead turned red due to the cold wind. A black cloak was draped over her, and the familiar cold fragrance enveloped her.

"My highness asked me to come here to take the princess out of the palace. Princess, please take care of yourself and hold on tight."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Qing rode his horse and galloped towards the exit of the palace.

Yun Xi choked on the cold air a few times, and finally had the chance to ask clearly: "What's going on? Where is Ji Xun? My uncle and the regent..."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still in your country's palace. As for the rest, it's a long story. I will explain it to His Royal Highness after we leave the palace."

Yun Xi grabbed his sleeve tightly: "Ji Xun is still in the palace, will he be in danger?"

She had a vague feeling that the days ahead would not be peaceful.

The two forces in the Wei Dynasty have already been frank with each other, and what is going to happen next is the situation she least wants to see.

Although the system had already given her a shot of prevention, she still couldn't help but worry.

She thought Ji Xun had left, but who knew that he was still involved in the disputes in Chang'an just like in the original novel.

There are not many people she cares about in Chang'an. The mutiny cannot change it. She just wants the people she cares about to stay alive.

"He's already the crown prince of Jin, why would he want to wade into the muddy waters of Wei?" Yun Xi asked anxiously, "Let him come over and leave with us!"

Xuan Qing's face was distorted by her pinching. "Hiss... Princess, this is a deal between your country's regent and my highness. We must keep our word. Don't worry. Don't worry, once you get through this, everything your highness deserves will remain unchanged."

He closed his mouth and didn't continue talking about the consequences of possible failure.

Yun Xi pondered for a moment, then understood what he meant. Then her eyes widened: "...Why?"

After he regained his country, he could have stayed in Jin, been the crown prince, and then ascended the throne smoothly.

"My prince said that he doesn't want you to suffer the same pain of losing your country as he did."
