The centurion paused, and the person who came to deliver the message only said that His Highness had ordered to keep a good eye on the princess, but did not say how to treat the Wei brothers and sisters.
For a moment he was in a dilemma.
The name of the Qinghe Wei family is well-known. Guests are welcome, and it is impossible to detain the Wei brothers and sisters in Pingyao Palace.
Wei Xiyin understood his attitude and said arrogantly, "I said yesterday that I wanted to leave the palace to ride a horse. I really can't stay in this damn place for a moment. If you have the ability, ask His Highness to prepare 50,000 dan of grain as soon as possible so that my brother and I can go back sooner..."
"Why don't you try to stop it?"
She sighed, "Poor princess, your parents are dead, your half-brother is unkind, and look at the life you're living now. Even the moment you leave the house someone has to control you."
After saying this, she turned and stared at the princess and said, "Why don't you follow us back to the fort after we get the food?"
The soldiers outside the door were shocked by her "treasonous" words.
How dare you say that His Highness is unkind!
"Madam Wei, please be careful with your words!" There was a hint of annoyance in the centurion's eyes. If this matter were to be brought to the attention of His Highness, he would only be blamed for his incompetence.
Wei Xiyin caught a glimpse of the attitudes of the people around her and decided to quit while she was ahead. "Then I won't say anything more. I'm going out. Get out of the way!"
After weighing the pros and cons, the centurion finally gave way.
Arguing with the unreasonable Madam Wei would only put oneself at a disadvantage.
You need a badge to enter and exit the palace.
The princess handed her her card and said softly, "I hope you can forgive me. I'm afraid I can't accompany you today."
She still needs to observe mourning, so she shouldn't be too ostentatious.
It was good for her to stay in the palace now, so that the soldiers below could see that she was just speaking out to seek benefits for the people, but Yuan Sanlang put her under house arrest the next moment.
If this matter gets out, it will be in her favor.
Wei Xiyin waved her hand. "Nothing. It just so happens that my cousin doesn't want to go out either. Let him stay and accompany the princess."
The soldiers looked strange when they heard this, and they always felt that something was wrong.
Wei Xiyin didn't care about them. She took the princess's token and took Qin Shan out of the palace.
She left the remaining four guards to Wei Li, and brought all the luggage back yesterday.
At first, some people were puzzled by her behavior of carrying the luggage back and forth. It was troublesome to carry it when going hiking, and when she came back, she had to transport it back to the yard and then take it back to the palace. It was a hassle almost all the time.
But based on their interactions over the past few days, everyone from Yuan Sanlang to the palace guards knew that Madam Wei was a very troublesome person.
These behaviors are not at all out of place for her.
When they reached the palace gate, the soldier at the gate saw that it was Madam Wei, glanced at the name card and let her pass.
Everyone was impressed by her previous disturbance at the palace gate.
I have to say that this arrogant and domineering character that no one dares to mess with is very useful.
Wei Xiyin was very satisfied with this.
After leaving the palace, Wei Xiyin took Qin Shan around the corner and came to the courtyard where the Wei family's followers lived.
This place is very close to the royal palace.
When the guards saw the girl coming, they quickly welcomed her in.
The two walked towards Chu Yu's yard.
Qin Shan found a safe place and spoke for the first time, "According to the information provided by General Xing, the guard battalion has about 3,000 people, distributed in various corners of the palace. I have also secretly observed them in the past few days. The area around the main hall is particularly heavily guarded. I am afraid it will not be easy to kill Yuan Sanlang."
They were just passing by, but the soldiers were staring at them vigilantly, and they would be discovered before they got close.
There was absolutely no opportunity to place the explosives.
Moreover, the girl and the boy lived in the palace, under Yuan Sanlang's nose, and there were only five of them around them. Once chaos broke out, the girl's safety would be difficult to guarantee.
Qin Shan felt a great sense of responsibility.
He wanted to persuade the girl to move out first, which Yuan Sanlang would probably be more than happy to do.
Wei Xiyin knew he was worried and patiently explained, "Yuan Sanlang is a man with a vicious mind, stupid, and cowardly. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken any action until now, staying in the palace like a coward. He thinks he has all the information from outside and can control everyone remotely, but in reality, those commanders all have ulterior motives."
The princess under house arrest today is an example.
This move reveals a lot.
Yuan Sanlang was dissatisfied with Hu Chengen for obeying the princess's orders, otherwise he would not have been so angry. The princess had only been back for a few days when he revealed his true colors.
As for Mr. Hu, he is really interesting. He regards Yuan Sanlang as his superior, but does not take him seriously.
Whether she wanted to ride a horse or the princess ordered the release of grain, it was just a matter of his casual words.
The military camp in the south city and the defenders in the city obviously obeyed his orders.
I'm afraid Yuan Saburo has already realized that something is wrong, which is why he is furious.
But for someone as stupid as him, it would be too late even if he reacted now.
"It's inevitable that we stay in the palace. Without diving into the tiger's den, how can we get the tiger cub?"
Wei Xiyin continued, "The army outside is complex and needs to be defeated one by one. First, we need to cut off Yuan Sanlang's eyes and ears and trap him in the palace. Killing him is only a matter of time."
Qin Shan lowered his eyes. "You can arrange these things outside the palace. If you are worried about the princess's safety, with your intelligence, you can surely find a way to get her out. Why take the risk of staying in the palace?"
Wei Xiyin sighed, "You're right, but you think too highly of me. The princess is in mourning. No matter what excuse I make, filial piety is greater than heaven. As long as Yuan Sanlang uses filial piety to pressure others, the princess can't go anywhere."
How could a person in mourning not live at home but live outside the palace?
If the princess is left alone in the palace, not to mention whether she can handle it, she is afraid that if she falls into Yuan Sanlang's hands, Yuan Wu and others will lose their composure.
Wouldn't that be a complete failure?
Qin Shan remained silent. In his heart, how could the princess be compared with his own girl?
The girl's safety is of paramount importance.
Seeing that his words were not working, Wei Xiyin could not help but stop and asked him seriously, "Did you see the shiny halo on my head?"
Qin Shan subconsciously looked above the girl's head, but there was nothing there.
He asked in confusion, "What is a halo?"
Wei Xiyin said nonsense seriously, "The protagonist's halo."
"I think ordinary people like you naturally can't see it." She said more and more outrageously, "Those with this aura can be safe, so put your worries aside and rest assured, I will be fine."
If she can't even deal with a idiot like Yuan Sanlang, how can she have the nerve to be among the heroines!
Qin Shan was in a mess.
What's going on?
The two of them had already walked outside Chu Yu's yard.
Chu Yu received the message and was already waiting there.
He bowed, his face rather helpless, "This girl is addicted to deceiving people, and now she's not even letting her own people go?"
Wei Xiyin said modestly: "Not at all."
The two of them were in perfect harmony and did not mention Chu Yu's sudden change of mind.
Entered the house.
Chu Yu said bluntly: "Hu Chengen cannot stay. Please give the order from the lady and let Yu arrange this matter."
