Yinji was lying on the bed looking at the ceiling, his mind full of thoughts.
The conversation Zhao Muyun had just had with him was so shocking.
His father and he wanted to take advantage of the fact that the prince had no children, and take advantage of Emperor Yongchang's sudden madness to test the prince and try to expand their own power.
Because if we don't do this, when the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, the first people to be targeted will be the lineage of Prince Jin.
However, Zhao Muyun seemed to know what they were thinking, but reminded them that the prince did this on purpose, obviously cooperating with the emperor to act.
Only the Prince of Jin's Mansion took it seriously and wanted to win over Zhao Muyun through marriage.
But Zhao Muyun saw things more clearly and immediately understood the key points.
"We must explain the seriousness of this matter to Father and adjust our strategy promptly, otherwise the Prince of Jin's Mansion will be completely swept away in this vortex."
The more Yinji thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
"Prince, a secret letter from the prince!"
Just then, a guard from Prince Jin's Mansion came in quietly.
"Father replied so quickly?" Yin Ji was surprised.
The guards of Prince Jin's Mansion met Zhao Muyun in the afternoon and wanted to take Yinji and his sister back to Jinyang. However, Zhao Muyun disagreed because Yinji was injured, and instead went into the new city of Daizhou to rest.
Between Daizhou and Jinyang, there is Xinzhou, and it takes a fast horse a day and a night to arrive.
"No, before we met you at the Xinzhou Mountain Temple, we learned of the princess's whereabouts and contacted the prince." The guard replied and handed over a letter sealed with wax.
Prince Yinxi of Jin probably didn't know that Yinji had found Yin Yao and was resting in Daizhou.
He sent a message to Yinji about something else.
Yinji quickly opened it, and his expression grew uglier the more he looked at it.
Finally he held the letter close to the candle flame and watched it turn to ashes.
"Father is going to risk everything!"
He muttered to himself, a look of pain and struggle flashing in his eyes.
......
The next morning, Yin Yao got up with red and swollen eyes.
She almost didn't sleep all night, and all she could think about was Zhao Muyun's resolute words "I will never marry him".
Qingluan was so distressed that she cried while she was dressing her.
"Princess, please don't be sad... That Lord Zhao is ungrateful and unworthy of you!"
Yin Yao shook her head: "No, I'm too naive. There is no such thing as a hero saving a beauty in this world, it's just an exchange of interests."
She looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and her eyes gradually became firm.
Since everyone treats her as a chess piece, she insists on being the one playing chess!
"Qingluan, go ask Miss Bingbing to come over and tell her I have something to ask."
When Bingbing arrived, Yin Yao had regained her composure, and even had a faint smile on her lips.
"Miss Bingbing, I want to learn some self-defense skills from you." Yin Yao said bluntly, "It doesn't have to be super powerful, but at least next time I'm in danger, I won't be a burden to others."
Bingbing was a little surprised, but she was a little embarrassed: "I heard that the princess originally likes to wield spears and sticks, and she has quite a foundation. This is enough!"
"Are you in any trouble?" Yin Yao asked.
"I take orders from Commander Wang, who is under Lord Zhao's command. I may be away on a mission at any time."
Bingbing said frankly, "Besides, I was originally a weak woman. I learned some self-defense skills after experiencing a huge change in my family's fortunes."
"Martial arts are not acquired overnight. These skills are acquired through systematic training. I am worried that I can't teach you anything."
"I know!" Yin Yao interrupted her, "Miss Bingbing, just teach me some things before you leave."
There was a kind of determination in her eyes that Bingbing had never seen before. She was completely different from the panicked girl from yesterday.
"I need to report this matter to the adults for a decision. I dare not agree to it on my own." Bingbing seemed unmoved.
Yin Yao said confidently, "Then go now. I believe Lord Zhao will definitely agree."
After a while, Fan Bingbing left the courtyard where Yin Yao was temporarily staying and walked towards Zhao Muyun's study.
She walked steadily and came straight to Zhao Muyun, clasping her fists and bowing, "Sir."
Zhao Muyun glanced at her and nodded slightly: "How is it?"
"The princess...she asked to learn some self-defense skills from my subordinates." Bingbing reported truthfully in a calm tone.
A hint of understanding flashed in Zhao Muyun's eyes, as if he was not surprised by Yin Yao's decision.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Alright. But you only have two or three days."
Bingbing immediately understood: "I understand. The affairs of the capital cannot be delayed."
"Hmm!" Zhao Muyun lowered his voice. "The capital is the eye of the storm. Fan Tong is already secretly protecting Master in Lingnan. When you go to the capital, you will have no distractions."
"I want you to infiltrate every corner of the capital, especially... the imperial palace."
"The required manpower and money can be withdrawn from the Bai family business with this order."
"Only Zhuzi and I have a single line of communication with you."
Bingbing said solemnly, "I obey your orders! I will definitely live up to your trust!"
......
Two days later, the person who went to report to Prince Jin's Mansion came back.
The words they brought to the King of Jin were that he agreed to let Yin Yao and Yin Ji recuperate in the new city for some time.
At the same time, several large carts were also delivered containing the princess's daily food, clothing, and other necessities, as well as cooks, maids, servants, nannies, doctors, and more than twenty guards, a total of dozens of people.
Looking at the dozens of people who suddenly appeared in the city and the piles of boxes and cages, Zhao Muyun frowned deeply.
Yinji also came out, supported by his personal guards. Seeing this scene, he was also surprised: "What...what does father mean by this?"
Zhao Muyun's eyes swept over the new guards who seemed respectful but had sharp eyes.
