Lord Qin sneered in his heart and looked at Lord Cheng speechlessly.
He thought that Lord Cheng had some clever tricks that could ease the relationship between them and the Shen family.
The result... was a move that couldn't be worse.
Fortunately, they had just asked all the servants to go out, otherwise if this matter were to get out, their family would probably become the laughing stock of the capital.
Master Cheng looked at the disapproving expressions of the others and smiled.
"Have you forgotten that the old patriarch of the Shen family directly expelled General Shen and his family from the Shen family?"
"Oh! After the old patriarch of the Shen family learned that Emperor Qianhuang had ascended the throne, he immediately fell ill and could not get up."
"Back then, the Shen family was much more decisive than us. The emperor would definitely not adopt a child from the Shen family."
"Think about it, compared to the children of the Shen family, aren't the descendants of our maternal family more likely?"
Of course he knew that adopting a child from one's mother's family was rather shocking.
However, after thinking about it carefully, he realized that this matter was still highly manipulable.
When they heard this, they all frowned and fell into deep thought.
After a moment, Master Qin shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this is not appropriate."
"What we need to do now is to ease the relationship, not to escalate it."
"After the New Year, let the ladies try to go to the palace to see the princess."
"If I can see the top, I can slowly work it out..."
"Master Qin is right." Master Lu nodded.
"There's no rush regarding adoption. The most important thing is to ease the relationship first."
If the relationship doesn't ease, they will be isolated by the various families in the capital.
There are so many younger generations in the family who are ready to get married, but now all their marriages have been put on hold.
It’s not that they are too proud and look down on their in-laws that they are delaying the wedding, but that their in-laws are a little afraid and postpone the wedding date.
Why!
As long as the emperor doesn't look at them with a good attitude, their lives will not be easy.
"Right, right, right!" General Meng nodded repeatedly. "I haven't even seen my daughter yet, so why bother talking about whether to adopt her or not?"
The others nodded and echoed, "Yes, let's figure out how to see the princess first."
"Of course." Lord Cheng smiled slightly, "I'm just mentioning this to you, not asking you to mention it to the princess right now."
"Just remember this, and once we leave this room, no one should ever mention it again."
"Don't let the news leak out and make the Shen family wary."
"We can make long-term plans after the relationship between our families and the princess has eased."
He called these people over to tell them that all the princesses were still alive and had returned to the capital.
The adoption issue is just mentioned so that everyone can have an idea about it.
The main reason is that everyone knows that the princesses are back, so naturally they want to meet them.
As for which family can see the princess first, it depends on the ability of each family.
He thought that General Meng should be able to see the princess first.
After all, General Meng is well-known for his love for the Fifth Princess, and the Fifth Princess should not ignore the relationship between father and daughter.
Moreover, General Meng was not in the capital at the time, so the Fifth Princess had no reason to blame her own father.
As long as General Meng meets the Fifth Princess, each of their families can also pass a sign to meet the princess.
The few of them discussed carefully for a few more sentences, and then left Cheng Mansion with frowns on their brows.
I didn't know that the princesses were still alive, and I was afraid that the emperor would blame them, so I felt uneasy.
Now that they knew the princess was alive, they began to worry that she would not want to see them, which would be too embarrassing.
I'm worried. I'm worried about everything.
But the princesses are all alive, which is a great joy for them.
As long as people are alive, there is room for change.
I have raised my daughter for so many years, so I have feelings for her. It just takes time to heal.
........
Yi Zhengjin led his soldiers on a journey all night. They all had huge dark circles under their eyes and looked exhausted when they arrived at the gate of the capital before noon.
“Who is coming?!”
Looking at the army rushing towards them from afar, the defenders at the city gate immediately prepared their crossbowmen and stared vigilantly at the tens of thousands of soldiers standing under the city gate tower.
These soldiers didn't look like the Golden Armored Army, but they stupidly rushed directly to the city gate. If he gave an order to let the crossbowmen shoot arrows, they could kill all of them directly.
It seems that these soldiers are not here to fight.
Could it be that they are the newly recruited soldiers of Menglan City, rushing here to assist the emperor in attacking the capital?
The guards at the city gate looked carefully at the leaders and found them very unfamiliar.
Yi Zhengjin looked up at the city gate tower and saw the row of sharp crossbow arrows on the parapet, and his heart skipped a beat.
Then I took a closer look at the guards asking questions on the city gate tower - they looked unfamiliar.
Yi Zhengjin's heart trembled, he pursed his lips and said loudly,
"Go and inform the Emperor immediately that I have completed my inspection as ordered and am now leading my troops back to the capital."
His ambiguous words could be used to fool both sides, so he could attack or defend.
No matter who is the emperor in the capital now, there is nothing wrong with what he said.
Along the way, all the way to the city gate, he didn't see any bloodstains on the ground.
Even up to the city gate, there was no sign of fighting, but the city gate seemed to have been renovated.
Yi Zhengjin lowered his eyelids and glanced at the city gate.
The city gate seemed to have been replaced with a new one, but this did not mean that Shen Yong had already entered the capital.
The main reason is that the environment at the city gate does not look like a battle.
The city gate guard frowned and looked at Yi Zhengjin carefully.
"Which general is this? Please state your name."
This sounds so strange. Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has never sent a large army out of the city for inspection.
Yi Zhengjin pursed his lips and said in a loud voice, "No need to ask any more questions, just report this to the emperor."
Glancing at the sharp crossbow arrows on the city gate tower, he really didn't dare to tell his identity directly.
After all, no one else knew what happened between him and Shen Yong.
What if these soldiers guarding the city are mediocre people, as soon as they hear that he is the commander of the palace guards, they might attack him directly.
The guard at the city gate looked at Yi Zhengjin deeply, and after a moment, he said, "Wait!"
After saying this, the guards at the city gate immediately arranged for someone to report the matter to the emperor.
Seeing the hundreds of thousands of troops blocking the gate of the capital, I was always a little worried.
The guards at the city gate did not dare to let the crossbowmen withdraw until they heard the news from the emperor.
The lieutenants frowned, looking at the crossbows aimed at them, panting irritably, and looking at Yi Zhengjin in confusion.
"Commander Yi, on what basis are these city gate guards blocking us from entering the capital?"
"At worst, these soldiers won't enter the city, but it shouldn't be a problem for a few of us to enter the city, right?"
"Yeah, why are there so many crossbows pointing at us?"
"Are these defenders so stupid that they can't even recognize us?"
