As the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, the Queen would send imperial doctors to treat the patient almost every other day. If it weren't for Xiao Pingguo's secret tricks, Wei Xiongjie would have been given a real headache.
Yan Yiming never recovered, and no matter how much the Queen resented her, she could not force her to come to the palace to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner. Fortunately, her youngest son, who had not been seen for more than a year, finally returned to Beijing and attracted the Queen's attention. However, she still mentioned from time to time that it was a pity that she did not meet Princess Lin'an.
Nangong Ye didn't know why the Queen always wanted him to meet Princess Lin'an. Later, the nanny beside the Queen secretly told him that it was because Princess Lin'an looked somewhat similar to the former Crown Princess.
Only the old people around the queen knew the truth of what happened back then.
But so what if she looks similar? That's not her at all. Besides, she is the daughter of King Jiangxia. My father is so afraid of King Jiangxia, and my mother has been staying in the harem for many years but can't understand my father's intentions. She is really confused.
And for some reason, Nangong Ye always felt that his father's attitude towards him this time seemed a little unusual, and the same was true for his brother.
Nangong Ye couldn't help but frown, thanked the nanny, turned around and left Kunning Palace and went to the East Palace.
Yan Yiming today is incredibly calm compared to Wei Xiongjie who is restless day and night due to excitement. However, Wei Xiongjie still comes to talk to Yan Yiming every day without fail, in the name of relieving stress.
Thinking that he might never see this young comrade again, Yan Yiming suppressed his irritation and repeated in a friendly manner that he was not nervous at all. It was Lord Wei who had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders and he must pay attention to his safety.
Wei Xiongjie said happily, "Thank you, Princess," and then carefully asked her why she didn't go to see Master Jian recently.
Yan Yiming said calmly, "Why see him?" Wei Xiongjie was slightly surprised, thinking that the princess didn't seem to have deep feelings for Master Jian. He was happy but still hesitated to speak, "Master Jian is of a different status after all. Even if the princess is wronged, she should be more patient for the future."
"Got it," Yan Yiming smiled, "Thank you, Lord Wei, for your concern."
Wei Xiongjie is a good man, but unfortunately he followed the wrong master and stood on the wrong side. From now on, it all depends on his luck.
After returning to his residence, Yan Yiming discussed future plans with Xiaopingguo.
The Mid-Autumn Festival would be three days later. Although Prime Minister Jian and Wei Xiongjie and others were determined to win, they had also prepared a retreat in case of failure. Wei Xiongjie was worried that she would not be safe in the palace, so he had prepared horses and guards at the gate of the backyard of Jian's mansion early on, to protect her retreat if there was any unusual movement.
Failure is inevitable, so retreat is also inevitable. After the retreat, King Jiangxia, who is far away in Guangdong and Guangxi, is their only support. They need to avoid interception and meet with King Jiangxia before the emperor's order reaches other places.
But there was no need for Yan Yiming to escape with them.
Xiao Pingguo had told her before that in the background of the game, whether it was the protagonist or the supporting character, they all had a predetermined ending. Because of Yan Yiming's intervention, the fate of several protagonists deviated, so Yan Yiming had to bring the fate of the protagonists back on the right track.
And the supporting characters will still enjoy their endings according to the original plot. For example, in the original plot, the emperor was forced to flee Jinling because of Prime Minister Jian’s rebellion. Although he later returned to the capital, he was too ashamed to face the people of the world again, and finally chose to end his life.
Now the emperor has already learned of Prime Minister Jian's movements. The emperor does not have to endure the humiliation of losing his country and will not commit suicide, so the system will decide to end his life at the original time.
Yan Yiming calculated the time, which means that the emperor will die in half a year, and the emperor's death will be the time when Nangong Xuan ascends the throne, which is also the time when Yan Yiming returns home.
Prime Minister Jian will not be able to rebel, Nangong Xuan, Jiang Yi and Shao Jingyu will certainly live in peace, Jian Yuyan has made meritorious service by informing on the emperor, the emperor will not convict Jian Yuyan without any investigation, and with Nangong Xuan and Jiang Yi pleading for him, he may have to leave the court and the capital, but it will not be difficult to save his life.
So the four of them can all be safe and sound, and she no longer has to worry about anything, so there is no need to meet up with Wei Xiongjie and others, but she can take advantage of the chaos to leave the capital. In the remaining six months, he can travel alone, breathe the last fresh air of ancient times, and taste the lost delicacies. After the prince ascends the throne, he can return to the present world.
But what made her a little uneasy was Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi had not made any unusual moves recently, but the lack of movement was the biggest suspicious point. Jiang Yi knew that she was not the real Princess Lin'an, and perhaps he could guess that she would not leave with Wei Xiongjie and others, so Yan Yiming very much suspected that Jiang Yi would order someone to wait for her in advance.
Compared to not leaving with Wei Xiongjie and others and being caught by Jiang Yi, Yan Yiming could not accept the latter even more. She knew that she really could not beat Jiang Yi.
Yan Yiming knew that in addition to Prime Minister Jian, King Jiangxia had other forces in the capital that were enough to ensure their safe evacuation, and all these people were in the hands of Wei Xiongjie. Prime Minister Jian naturally didn't know this, and Jian Yuyan didn't know even more.
So Jiang Yi wouldn't know either.
In this case, it would be better to follow Wei Xiongjie and others to retreat first, and then leave on your own when you have the chance.
After making the decision, Yan Yiming finally felt much more at ease. At night, Yan Yiming and Xiaopingguo lay on the bed to study the map and plan a comfortable travel route. Then they blew out the candles and went to sleep peacefully.
In a blink of an eye, it is Mid-Autumn Night.
The mansion where Yan Yiming lived seemed peaceful, but many personal guards had already been hidden there and were ready, just waiting for a signal from the capital.
Red represents joy and white represents sorrow, and the ending will be known as soon as the fireworks go off.
Inside the palace, Jiang Yi hesitated and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, have you decided to keep it a secret from the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Yue?"
The emperor's tightly furrowed brows became more and more furrowed. After a while, he said calmly, "The Jian family and the Eastern Palace have always been close, and the crown prince is very close to Jian Yuyan. We must be on guard."
The person in power did not even believe his own son. Because he did not believe, the emperor did not tell the prince everything. He even deliberately ordered the prince to be responsible for the care of the palace tonight, intending to test him.
If the prince conspired with the Jian family, the emperor would show a fierce look and would never forgive him even if he was his own son.
At the time of Xu, the sky gradually darkened. The palace had already made preparations with joy, and the protection of guards was more stringent than usual. No one realized that danger was coming.
The Queen Mother was in a very good mood today. Her children and grandchildren were all around her, especially Nangong Ye, who she hadn't seen for a long time. The Queen Mother pulled Nangong Ye to look at him again and again and smiled at everyone, "They are indeed brothers. They look more and more like the Crown Prince."
Everyone agreed, and the Queen Mother seemed to remember something. She looked around in surprise and asked, "Why is the Crown Prince not here?"
"Your Majesty and the Crown Prince have some important matters to attend to and will be here in a moment," the Queen hastily explained.
The Queen Mother nodded to show that she understood. The ladies in the harem didn't have to worry about the affairs of the court, but the Emperor and the Crown Prince were different. "Then wait until they come..."
But before he could finish his words, thick smoke suddenly rose from the west side of the palace. Even from a distance, the deafening shouting and the sharp sounds of weapons clashing could be heard.
In an instant, the women turned pale, and several princes stood up immediately. Strong drum sounds symbolizing a great change in the palace rang out from all directions, countless torches lit up, and it was suddenly as if a cloud of fire was burning in the palace.
Nangong Ye and the others' expressions suddenly changed. They stood up solemnly and walked out, but were stopped by the imperial guards who had been protecting them outside.
"Prince Jian and Prince Jiangxia are plotting a rebellion. I will obey your majesty's order to protect the Queen Mother. Please return to the palace!"
The word "treason" made everyone present panic. When they realized that it was Prime Minister Jian and King Jiangxia, they were even more terrified.
No wonder my father and my brother have never been here. The guards are guarding again. It seems that my father has been prepared. Nangong Ye feels at ease, but an inexplicable uneasiness still gathers in his heart.
Looking up, the sky was as magnificent as a sunset glow. The heart-pounding shouts and cries of killing were still ringing in my ears. After an unknown amount of time, peace finally returned to the world.
What Jian Xiang, Wei Xiongjie and others thought was a perfect plan turned out to be a trap. The Southern Army captain who they thought had been bribed turned out to be a spy among spies. The long sword he raised was not aimed at the palace guards, but at the rebels who had forced their way into the palace.
Then they realized that they were the ones who were plotted against.
In this case, Jian Xiang and others did not dare to fight any longer. They had no time to think about who leaked the news and escaped from the palace under the sworn protection of the imperial guards.
Pale fireworks exploded in the sky, and the guards guarding the mansion immediately asked Yan Yiming to set off, get ready to leave and meet Wei Xiongjie and others who had arrived quickly outside the city.
The emperor was well prepared; the city gates were closed and thousands of soldiers were blocking the gates. Yan Yiming hesitated for a moment as to what to do, but he saw Prime Minister Jian and others escaping. Madam Jian, Jian Yuer and other female relatives had not yet understood what was going on, as they were already dizzy from the rushing carriage.
Then a roar of rage broke all the silence, and one person angrily called Prime Minister Jian a "traitor."
Yan Yiming felt that the voice sounded familiar, so he looked over and saw who it was. He was so surprised that he almost fell off his horse. The general who was guarding the horse was also shocked when he saw the man's face and shouted "Your Highness."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was supposed to be at the dinner, appeared here for some reason. His hands were tied and his face was pale from being shaken by the carriage. His handsome face looked pitiful and fierce as he angrily scolded Prime Minister Jian. When he saw Yan Yiming, his face became even more ferocious.
The soldiers guarding the gate hesitated. They had hope of escape, but Yan Yiming wished he had not escaped.
She was most afraid that Jiang Yi would kill Jian Yuyan in a fit of rage, but she had never worried about the safety of this prince. But now, looking at Nangong Xuan who was taken hostage, Yan Yiming covered her face in despair.
Oh my god, are you kidding me?
