The mausoleum is far away from the county town. If we kill those people and make up an excuse to go back, Yuan Sanlang will have to believe it even if he doesn't want to, because there will be no evidence anyway.
Princess Zhongshan was in a bad mood.
Wei Xiyin sighed, knowing she was in deep distress, and offered comfort, "I understand how Master Weng Neng feels. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Even if you fail to incite rebellion, we're still here. The worst that can happen is we can steal the granary and return to the fort."
She paused, thought for a moment, and added, "And horses."
The princess was amused by her.
She didn't know about the explosives and thought the girl said that on purpose to comfort her.
But for some reason, she had an inexplicable confidence in the girl. After just two or three sentences, her depressed mood was inexplicably comforted.
The princess nodded and said, "We must give it a try. I asked Xiang Qi, and most of the troops outside the city are garrisons transferred back from the border areas. They may not know what happened in the palace."
Wei Xiyin raised her eyebrows slightly, "Then why not wait for a better day? Let's try it today to avoid any more trouble."
The two of them talked in low voices, discussing their next course of action.
After all, there were many people around, and most of the conversations could only be communicated through gestures.

The soldier driving the carriage heard the sound coming from the carriage and stopped subconsciously.
General Chen was delighted when he saw this and rushed forward to salute.
The princess lifted the curtain of her carriage and said kindly to General Chen, "I want to go to the royal mausoleum to burn incense. I heard there are many monsters out there, and I'm a little scared. I wonder if the general can escort me a little way?"
General Chen was more than happy to have such a great opportunity to show off his talent.
He glanced at the convoy and saw that there were only a hundred soldiers from the guard battalion, so he immediately expressed his position in a serious manner.
"The princess's journey is no small matter. What if a mere hundred men encounter an army of monsters? Your subordinates will ensure that the princess arrives safely at the royal mausoleum."
The princess's lips curled up slightly, "Then I'll have to trouble General Chen."
