...
At the city gate.
Before Mo Yunhan and Jiang Qingwan even entered the city on their falcon, they encountered Wang Hao leading over a thousand patrol soldiers to the city gate.
Wang Hao immediately dismounted and bowed.
"Greetings, Your Highness and Your Highness!"
"Lord Liu? You're here too."
Liu Ruzhi quickly returned the greeting.
"General Wang, what are you doing? Has something major happened in the capital?"
Wang Hao quickly said seriously, "It's not the capital, it's the imperial palace."
Mo Yunhan helped Jiang Qingwan down from her horse, and frowned slightly upon hearing this.
"The Imperial Palace?"
He did not receive a message from Ye Qi via carrier pigeon, nor did Ye Qi go to wait for him near Weishan.
Could it be that the group evaded the Dark Guard's pursuit, stormed into the capital, and fought their way into the palace?
Wang Hao hurriedly explained.
"Su Weichuan led his troops in a rebellion, stormed the palace, and killed many Imperial Guards. The deputy general next to Commander Yan sent someone with a token to the patrol camp at great risk to deliver the message, which is why I was able to mobilize troops to the capital."
Liu Ruzhi was stunned, her face filled with disbelief.
"Prince Su is plotting a rebellion? Why? What would he gain from such a heinous crime? Consort Su doesn't even have an heir. Even if they succeed in their rebellion, given the Su family's current strength, they will surely be executed once the Emperor returns to the capital with his army. From Prince Su's perspective, there's absolutely no reason for him to do this."
Jiang Qingwan also found it strange.
She kept wondering what Su Weichuan's purpose was in arranging for her and Mo Yunhan to fall into the Void Array of Weishan.
If they wanted to kill them, they should have used fire or arrows last night.
But beyond the white mist, there was nothing.
Could it be that he did all this just to prevent Mo Yunhan from staying in the capital and hindering him from leading troops to seize the palace?
Even if they seize the palace, they cannot become the master of this Great Zhou.
Su Weichuan couldn't possibly be unaware of this principle.
She looked up at Mo Yunhan.
"Did you foresee this?"
Mo Yunhan shook his head.
"I really don't know."
"Let's go into the city first, and then we'll see how things go."
Wang Hao hurriedly stopped him.
"There is something I need Your Highness's help with."
