Canglang entered Qingfeng Mountain, then went in to pay a visit to the emperor and reported everything he encountered at the border.
After hearing this, the emperor was furious and scolded the second prince.
Canglang said that the princess asked him to come back to escort them to Goryeo, and after the Goryeo matter was settled, he would return to the capital to deal with the second prince.
Murong Fu felt that since the Second Prince's men had appeared at his sister's place, his father's men should also be there. Furthermore, given what the Emperor had said before, that the Second Prince had sent people to harm His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he believed that if his father and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew about this, they would definitely send someone back to rescue them.
Therefore, he had to wait here for a few days. If his father or the Crown Prince had enough manpower, he would not need to go to Goryeo and could directly return to the capital.
Murong Fu told the emperor his idea, and the emperor thought it was feasible.
If he had enough manpower and could directly return to the palace, he would not want to go to Goryeo.
After all, he felt it was shameful to leave his hometown and go to a foreign country and become a deserter.
So Canglang took his soldiers and stayed to rest.
On the fifth day, they still hadn't seen anyone from the King of Zhenbei or the Crown Prince, so they decided to leave the next day.
The longer you stay, the more dangerous it becomes.
In the past few days, the second prince has sent two groups of people here. If they wait any longer, the second prince will send a large number of soldiers here, and they may not be able to escape.
The next day, Canglang, Baichen and others led the emperor and his men down Qingfeng Mountain and walked on the road.
Suddenly, they saw smoke and dust billowing on the road on the right and heard the sound of horse hooves, which made Canglang and the others immediately alert and protect the emperor behind them.
When he saw the person coming, Murong Fu's face was full of smiles. He saw the person next to his father.
Knowing that they were family, everyone returned to Qingfeng Mountain.
This time we had enough manpower, so we decided not to go to Goryeo but to go directly to the palace.
For the safety of the Queen and the others, it was decided to let them stay.
Of course, Liu Ningchu, Huo Jin, Zhuang Die, and the others stayed. Of the five thousand elite soldiers brought back by Canglang, three thousand were left behind to protect the Queen and the others.
A total of more than 20,000 people returned to Beijing this time.
The emperor returned to the capital with a large group. He first took control of the military camp in the suburbs without anyone noticing, and then opened the city gate in the dark and windy weather to let them in.
The troops were divided into two groups, leaving 5,000 people to rescue the ministers, and the rest went into the palace to deal with the second prince and Concubine Li.
After a night of fighting, the Second Prince and Concubine Li were finally captured before dawn.
The emperor returned to the palace smoothly and put the second prince, Concubine Li, Marquis Zhongyong, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War and others into jail.
The ministers' residences in the capital and the surrounding soldiers were all annihilated by Murong Fu's men.
The palace coup that lasted for more than a month finally came to an end.
The second prince rebelled and was thrown into prison before he even served as emperor for a single day.
The emperor personally tried the case and all the participants were executed along with their entire clans.
The second prince and Concubine Li were demoted to commoners and exiled to a Mongolian tower three thousand miles away.
The three sons and father of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery were beheaded in public, along with their nine clans.
After beheading Marquis Zhongyong and others, the emperor sent the Imperial Guards to bring the Queen and others back to the capital.
Murong Fu brought his men back to the Zhenbei Palace. They found it completely looted, with all the antiques, calligraphy, and paintings taken away. The entire palace was empty, except for the corpses on the ground, which had already begun to stink.
The corpse on the ground was the old man who stayed behind and was killed by the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.
Murong Fu took people to bury the body, and after disinfecting, cleaning and tidying up, he took people to the princess's mansion.
The princess's mansion suffered the same fate as the prince's mansion. It was completely looted and there were corpses everywhere on the ground.
The body was buried, the princess's mansion was disinfected, and it was tidied up.
The worst-hit were the Sun Mansion, the Huo Mansion and the Duke of Wei’s Mansion.
Because all the servants inside were killed, no one escaped.
Looking at the stinking corpses on the ground, Murong Fu wanted to kill the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.
Unfortunately, he had already been beheaded as a public display, so he didn't need to do anything.
It took a whole day to tidy up several mansions, and Murong Fu and others were exhausted.
It was four days later when the Queen and her entourage arrived in Beijing. The Queen returned directly to the palace with the Dowager Consort, the Queen Mother, and the Crown Princess.
Huo Jin and Zhang Chan took the Huo family back to the Huo Mansion, Zhuang Die took the Sun family back to the Sun Mansion, and the Minister of Revenue took his family and the Minister's Mansion.
Bai Chen brought people back to the princess's mansion, but only the Duke of Wei's mansion was empty and deserted.
When everyone returned to the mansion and saw the empty house, they all burst into tears. That was their family fortune!
Fortunately, the emperor raided the residences of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and the Duke of Rong, and ordered the Sun family, the Huo family, and the people from the Princess's residence to identify antiques, calligraphy, paintings, and other decorative objects.
After everyone took their things back and put them in order, the gloom of this period of time was finally swept away, and everyone smiled as if they had survived a disaster.
Fortunately, the princess's business was not affected. Perhaps the second prince thought that as long as the princess died, her business would be his, so the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery did not dare to destroy it.
The businesses of the Sun and Huo families were also not affected.
The capital city began to return to normal, and court sessions also resumed. Everyone was waiting for Princess Xiangyun, Prince Zhenbei, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to return.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter. It is already mid-June and there are not many days left until the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Everyone was anxiously waiting for Princess Xiangyun, Huo Jinqian, and Prince Zhenbei to return. The wedding was not many days away, so Liu Ningchu, Huo Jin, Zhang Dan, and Hong Qiujue began to get busy preparing for the wedding.
The first step is to offer a marriage proposal, which means inviting an official matchmaker to come and propose marriage.
Fortunately, Liu Ningchu was at home, so Zhang Chan and Hong Qiujue invited an official matchmaker to go to the palace to propose marriage.
Because it was agreed by both parties, Liu Ningchu attached great importance to it. He invited relatives and friends and agreed to the marriage in front of them.
