Chapter 245 A seemingly impulsive decision
Capital city.
Since arriving in the capital, Xiao Yongyan has hardly had a moment of leisure. The emperor's health has deteriorated, and various forces are surging in the court, with everyone's eyes fixed on the emperor's throne.
Wang Jing came in hurriedly from outside, holding something in his hand.
"Xiao Yongyan, look!"
Xiao Yongyan followed his gaze and immediately saw the envelope in his hand.
He quickly guessed that this was probably something Lin Xi gave him, and snatched it from Wang Jing's hand.
Wang Jing was startled by his action. Looking at his empty hands, he said helplessly, "Xiao Yongyan, can you please respect me a little? After all, I brought it back for you."
Xiao Yongyan on the other side ignored him completely, opened the envelope and started reading.
Lin Xi's letter to Xiao Yongyan was very simple. It was nothing more than a brief account of what she had done recently, and also said that her belly was getting bigger and bigger, but the child couldn't see his father.
These words made Xiao Yongyan very depressed. If it wasn't necessary, who would be willing to abandon his pregnant wife and run to the capital.
The more Xiao Yongyan thought about it, the more unhappy he felt, which frightened Wang Jing to death.
"I want to tell you what's wrong with you. That look makes me feel creepy." Wang Jing said, covering his chest.
Xiao Yongyan realized his own gaffe, and then he restrained his gloomy expression and said to Wang Jing, "The time is ripe. There is no point in delaying any longer. We can start tomorrow."
Wang Jing was shocked. Although they had done a lot of preparation in the early stages, it would be too hasty to start tomorrow.
"Xiao Yongyan, this matter is not up to you alone. You should discuss it with the prince first." Wang Jing advised. Could it be that Lin Xi wrote something to Xiao Yongyan in the letter that made him so eager to take action?
But that shouldn't be the case. Lin Xi had no idea about their actions in the capital, and it was impossible for her to ask about them.
Wang Jing couldn't figure it out, but Xiao Yongyan had already taken action, walking out the door and heading towards the stable.
Wang Jing saw that something was wrong and hurriedly followed him. "Xiao Yongyan, why are you so crazy so late at night? Although we have been preparing for a long time, now is not the time to take action. There are still many people outside the capital."
Xiao Yongyan walked without pausing, his tone firm, "If you are outside the city, then enter the city tonight. Only by catching them off guard can we have a chance of winning."
"Okay, even if what you said makes sense, why can't you do it earlier? Even if you tell the prince one day in advance, you will get into trouble if you act on your own," said Wang Jing.
Xiao Yongyan glanced at Wang Jing and asked, "Do you think I am that kind of person?"
Well, based on Wang Jing's understanding of Xiao Yongyan, he is not such a person.
Xiao Yongyan was determined to start the rebellion tonight, so he mounted his horse and went straight to the Thirteenth Prince's mansion under the cover of night.
There was still singing and dancing in some places in the capital in the middle of the night, but fortunately it was quiet around where the Thirteenth Prince lived.
Wang Jing took one look, cursed inwardly, and hurried after him.
Xiao Yongyan arrived at the prince's mansion, quickly got off his horse and knocked on the door.
Everyone in the palace knew Xiao Yongyan. They opened a crack and found that it was him, so they quickly let him in.
"Sir, why did you come here at night?"
"I have something extremely important to discuss with the prince." Xiao Yongyan said.
However, the servant was in a dilemma. "The prince has already gone to bed at this time. How about I go and inform the butler first?"
Xiao Yongyan said, "It's okay, I will go to the prince in person. If there are any problems, I will take responsibility alone."
The Thirteenth Prince had already told the servant that Xiao Yongyan was an honored guest, so the servant did not dare to go against Xiao Yongyan. He could only follow him closely and serve him carefully.
Xiao Yongyan was already very familiar with the way to the palace, so he walked straight to the prince's residence and said, "Your Majesty, I am Xiao Yongyan, and I would like to see you."
At first, there was no movement inside, but the servant guarding the door woke up immediately. Seeing that it was Xiao Yongyan, he hurried forward and asked, "Sir, why are you here so late? The prince has already gone to bed."
As he finished speaking, candles were lit in the room.
The servant quickly pushed the door open and walked to the young prince. "My lord, it's late at night, you must not catch a cold."
The Thirteenth Prince walked out of the door with his clothes on. "Sir, why did you come to see me so late?"
Xiao Yongyan didn't say anything and glanced at the servant.
The Thirteenth Prince said, "It's okay, he grew up by my side, he can listen."
Xiao Yongyan said, "Your Majesty, I got up tonight to observe the celestial phenomena. Tonight is the best time to accomplish something, so I came here to tell you."
To be honest, the Thirteenth Prince was a little confused. He had just met Xiao Yongyan a few days ago, and the other party did not mention anything about the timing. Why did he suddenly come to him tonight?
"You have never said these words before." As this happened suddenly, the Thirteenth Prince couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
Not to mention Thirteen, even Wang Jing found it outrageous. Where did Xiao Yongyan observe some celestial phenomenon one night? Isn't this nonsense?
"Your Highness, I know that telling you suddenly must be a bit unexpected, but only with a surprise attack can we have the greatest chance of winning. Some things cannot be explained in a few words, but if Your Highness believes in me, choosing to take action tonight will definitely not be wrong." Xiao Yong's tone was so firm that anyone who heard it would want to accept his point of view.
This is the most powerful move he has developed over the years, and it might have been inherited from the Regent.
Although Xiao Yongyan's sudden appearance made the Thirteenth Prince a little confused, since the other party was so confident, the Thirteenth Prince decided to trust Xiao Yongyan once.
"Okay, since you said so, sir, I will listen to you and start the rebellion tonight." The Thirteenth Prince made the decision immediately.
Wang Jing, who was watching the whole process, didn't dare to say a word. Xiao Yongyan was really abnormal tonight, but the only thing he could be sure of was that he was definitely not bribed by someone.
After Xiao Yongyan got the Thirteenth Prince's permission, he immediately turned around and said, "I'll trouble you with the affairs inside the capital, Your Majesty. As for the people outside the capital, I will be responsible."
Wang Jing felt that what Xiao Yongyan said was simply a fantasy. Many of their troops were outside the city. The key point was that the city gates were locked in the middle of the night. How could they get in?
Seeing Xiao Yongyan leaving, Wang Jing quickly followed him, "Xiao Yongyan, are you sure you are not fooling around? If something goes wrong, you will lose your head!"
Xiao Yongyan rolled his eyes in his heart, "Wang Jing, I want to live more than anyone else. I want to go back and see my child being born."
At this moment, a strange thought suddenly came to Wang Jing's mind. Could it be that everything Xiao Yongyan was doing now was to go back early to accompany his wife to give birth to the baby?
