She had never thought of a possibility: what if Prince Li succeeded in forcing the emperor to abdicate?
After all, some things that happened in this life were obviously different from those in the previous life.
If Prince Li succeeds in forcing the emperor to abdicate in this life, with his vindictive and petty nature, he will definitely not let Prince Kang's Mansion go!
Could it be that after all these twists and turns, their entire family will inevitably be doomed to be executed?!
Just thinking about it made Ye Peizhu break out in a cold sweat.
She calmed herself down and looked at Prince Kang with a determined gaze, "Your Majesty, we cannot let Prince Li succeed! Absolutely not!"
Prince Kang also nodded, "We can't let him succeed, so my lady, I plan to have someone thoroughly investigate whether there really is a secret passage in the Prince's Palace.
Before determining the time for him to force the emperor to rebel, I plan to tell my father about this first.
Once the emperor finds out, he will definitely find a way to stop him!"
Ye Peizhu frowned slightly when she heard this, "Your Highness, what if we tell the Emperor and he stops Prince Li from rebelling in advance?
We wanted to use the Prince Li's rebellion to make him destroy himself.
What if the emperor stopped it but didn't take Prince Li's life?
I think we can keep the fact that Prince Li wants to force the emperor to abdicate and rebel not telling anyone else for now.
If the day comes when Prince Li rebels, Your Highness, in addition to saving your own life, you must also protect the Emperor.
At least let the emperor realize that when danger comes, you are the only one who will risk your life to protect him as his father.
There will be a lot of people at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and many ministers will bring their families to attend.
If Prince Li rebels at that time, it will be in full view of everyone.
No matter what the reason is, the emperor will not let Prince Li go easily under such circumstances.
What do you think, Your Majesty?"
King Kang understood what his wife meant.
"Okay, as Madam wishes, do we need to continue investigating the secret passage?"
"Let's investigate thoroughly. Although we can't tell others about Prince Li's affairs, we can find out how many people Prince Li brought from his fiefdom to the capital.
Only by knowing both ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle. At the very least, we must ensure that Prince Li's attempt to force the emperor to abdicate will fail! We must not let him succeed!"
"Okay, let's do as the princess says and investigate whether there really is a secret passage in the Prince Li's mansion."
Prince Kang turned around and gave orders to the secret guards, without hiding the fact that the person in charge in Prince Kang's mansion was his wife, not himself.
"yes."
The secret guard agreed and left. He was no longer surprised that the princess was the one who made the final decision.
The secret guards spent two days investigating and got a clear picture of the current situation in the Prince's Mansion.
There is indeed a secret passage away from the palace, which leads directly to a farm outside the capital.
The farm looked dilapidated from the outside, as if it had been abandoned.
But there are quite a few people living inside, and all of them are private soldiers brought by King Li from his fiefdom.
In addition, there are many weapons in Zhuangzi.
King Kang was somewhat surprised when he heard the secret guard's report.
"It seems that Prince Li's rebellion was quite simple and crude, and was suppressed by force."
Song Jiujiu, who was sitting in her mother's arms with her little ears perked up, nodded in agreement when she heard the secret guard's report.
[Yes, yes, that’s why Prince Li failed in his attempt to abdicate in his previous life.
Prince Li is a simple-minded person. He only thinks about suppressing the rebellion by force and doesn't even come up with any slogans.
Others who rebelled would use slogans like "clearing the court of corrupt officials", but Prince Li only wanted to take over the entire palace by force.
But he never considered that even if his men controlled all the guards in the palace, the old emperor still had secret guards! There were also military camps in the capital!
The result is predictable. In his previous life, Prince Li didn't even have time to speak out because he was beheaded on the spot for shooting an arrow at the old emperor.
Don't worry, Daddy and Mommy. Prince Li is nothing to be feared. He has the ability to kill himself.
We can just watch quietly and do nothing.
After hearing their daughter's thoughts, Prince Kang and Ye Peizhu looked at each other and fell silent.
“........”
They really did take Prince Li too seriously.
It seems that they don't even need to consider the possibility that Prince Li has the ability to force the emperor to abdicate successfully.
"Your Majesty, if Prince Li only wants to suppress us with force, then we don't need to do anything.
There were more secret guards and soldiers hidden in the capital than King Li had imagined.
Prince Li cannot defeat the Emperor's men with just Zhuangzi's private soldiers."
Ye Peizhu said this.
"Okay, never mind. Let's just wait and see what Prince Li does."
King Kang was speechless for a moment. He paused and looked at the secret guard. "Besides that, what else did you find out?"
The secret guard shook his head, "Your Highness, I haven't found anything else. Just as Your Highness said, Prince Li's plan is indeed to suppress the rebellion by force.
Aside from bringing people to the capital, Prince Li has not made any other moves for the time being."
"Okay, never mind, let's just leave it at that."
King Kang waved his hand and asked the secret guards to retreat.
In the days before the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, the capital was very peaceful and nothing happened. Prince Duan, Prince Jing and Prince Li did not approach Prince Kang and Prince An.
All this seems like a brief calm before the bloody storm.
In a blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Prince Kang got up early in the morning and ordered his secret guards to keep an eye on Prince Li's movements in his mansion to make sure that Prince Li would really force the palace to rebel tonight.
Because he has to attend the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet in the evening, King Kang will take a break today. He does not need to go out before entering the palace in the evening.
He got up early in the morning and after giving instructions to the secret guards, he paced back and forth in the yard feeling somewhat restless.
After Song Jiujiu woke up and had enough to eat and drink, she grabbed the hem of her mother's skirt and grunted as she tried to practice walking.
When she reached the threshold, she held onto the door frame with her chubby little hands and sighed helplessly as she watched her father walking back and forth in the yard.
[Daddy, why is he so anxious? I didn't even have a precognitive dream, which means that what happens tonight will definitely not endanger us, so there's nothing to worry about.
Daddy is walking around so much that it makes me dizzy.]
King Kang paused and turned around to see his little daughter looking at him with puffed cheeks and some resentment.
He scratched his head, walked towards his daughter, and hugged the little baby in his arms.
"Jiu'er, why do you have such an expression? It seems like you really dislike daddy."
Prince Kang teased her and gently tapped the tip of her nose.
Song Jiujiu hummed, "As long as Daddy knows."
Prince Kang choked and silently put his daughter back on the ground. "Come, let daddy hold you, and you walk slowly."
Now Song Jiujiu just wants to walk more steadily and speak faster, so that she can do a lot of things.
However, she got tired after walking for a while. Seeing that she was sweating, King Kang held her in his arms and stopped her from walking.
"Jiu'er, be good and take a rest."
