Prime Minister's Mansion.
The prime minister sat in a chair, thinking, he was anxious and worried about his daughter in the palace.
The Prime Minister's wife was also restless, looking at the soldiers surrounding the mansion outside, her face full of worry.
"Master, what should we do?"
The Prime Minister's wife asked the Prime Minister anxiously.
"I don't know either. I'm afraid things are going to change."
"Dad, what do you mean?"
The Prime Minister's son Gu Jingyuan asked.
"Hey, if I'm not mistaken, the people outside should be from the Ministry of War, and the one who led the siege should be the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, the Second Prince's grandfather."
"What does this mean, Second Prince?"
The Prime Minister's son Gu Jingyuan asked.
"What else could it mean? It means what we have seen. The Second Prince is about to rebel, and Daliang is about to change."
The Prime Minister said worriedly and helplessly.
"What? How could the Second Prince do this? This is punishable by death."
"Master, is our daughter in danger?"
"That's exactly what I'm worried about. If those people want us to do something, we should just pretend to comply, agree to it, protect ourselves, and leave it to fate."
"No, I want to go to the palace to save my sister."
"Stop! How can we save them? Can we get out of the Prime Minister's Mansion? I'm afraid they'll kill them before we even get out."
"Jing'er, your father is right. We can't leave the Prime Minister's Mansion. Listen to your father. Let's protect ourselves first, and then find a way to save Ying'er."
"Husband, just listen to your parents. We must protect ourselves first before we have a chance to save the Crown Princess."
"But, Dad and Mom, what will happen to my sister if she is alone in the palace? The Second Prince will definitely not let her go."
"I know all of this, but there's nothing I can do. Now our only hope lies with the Crown Prince, the Prince of Zhenbei, and Princess Xiangyun. Otherwise, we can only support the Second Prince to ascend the throne."
"The Crown Prince, Prince Zhenbei, and Princess Xiangyun have already left the capital. How can they come back to rescue the emperor? Besides, it will take them at least half a month to return. By then, everything will have been settled. They will come back to support the Second Prince."
The Prime Minister's wife was very pessimistic. She was in a bad mood and worried that her husband, son and daughter were in danger.
"Madam, there's nothing I can do. We are civilians, and we can't fight against military officers."
The Prime Minister had no other choice but to place his hopes on the Crown Prince, Prince Zhenbei, and Princess Xiangyun.
The Prime Minister's Mansion was lifeless, and so were the residences of other ministers.
Some of them were afraid of death and joined the Second Prince's sect and supported him.
What they didn't know was that Prince Zhenbei and Princess Xiangyun had a backup plan.
In the Censorate, the Chief Censor was also worried about the Queen.
Princess Mansion!
Bai Chen looked at the soldiers outside and sneered in his heart. The princess was right to worry. She didn't expect that someone would really want to harm the people in their princess's mansion. I wonder what's going on in the Zhenbei Palace?
Before leaving the capital, Gao Zhijun worried that the Emperor or someone in the palace might harm the Princess's residence. Especially since the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was known for his ruthlessness and vindictiveness, and he was also the Second Prince's uncle. Therefore, she discussed this with Murong Yuanbo and Murong Fu, and decided to leave 10,000 troops hidden ten miles outside the capital, just in case.
Murong Fu left the capital and quietly returned with his confidants.
They discussed and decided to use fireworks as a signal. If fireworks were set off in the capital, it would mean that something had happened in the capital, and Murong Fu would bring his army back to rescue people.
"Brother Bai Chen, what should we do now?"
Baihu looked at the soldiers outside and asked Bai Chen worriedly.
"You watch over the Princess's Mansion. I'll go outside and see what's going on. I'll come back and make a decision."
Bai Chen said.
What he was worried about now was the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, that madman, who might go crazy and harm Princess Zhenbei and the Sun family of the Huo family.
Fortunately, before leaving Beijing, the princess brought the Sun family and the Huo family to the princess's mansion.
"Okay, go ahead and don't worry. I will definitely protect the Princess's Mansion."
Baihu assured.
Bai Chen quietly left the princess's mansion without the soldiers noticing.
He came to the Zhenbei Palace and sneaked in quietly.
"Your servant greets the princess, the crown prince's wife!"
When Bai Chen saw Liu Ningchu and Shen Qingyan, he immediately bowed to them.
"Get up. How is the Princess's Mansion now?"
Liu Ningchu asked Bai Chen.
"In reply to the princess, everything is fine at the princess's mansion. I just don't know what major incident happened in the capital that required the emperor to send troops to surround the princess's mansion. Is the emperor planning to take action against the princess's mansion?"
Bai Chen asked Liu Ningchu.
Fortunately, the princess was able to foresee the future and prepare for it.
"No, it's the Second Prince who's planning a rebellion. Make preparations and have the soldiers from the suburbs return to the palace to protect the emperor."
Liu Ningchu had just learned from the housekeeper that the second prince was planning a rebellion.
"What? The Second Prince is rebelling? But we only have 10,000 soldiers. Can we save the Emperor?"
When Bai Chen heard that it was a rebellion, he asked the princess worriedly. At first, he thought someone was going to attack the princess's mansion and the prince's mansion, so he secretly left 10,000 soldiers to rescue the princess's mansion. The people from the Zhenbei Palace, the Sun Mansion, and the Huo Mansion left and were sent to Goryeo.
"I don't know, but we have to try. If we can't save the emperor, we can only leave the capital and go to Goryeo to find the princess."
Liu Ningchu couldn't be sure either.
If they cannot save the emperor and the second prince ascends the throne, his uncle, Marquis Zhongyong, will not let them go and will have to leave Daliang first to find his daughter.
"Yes, I understand."
After Bai Chen finished speaking, he left the Zhenbei Palace and returned to the Princess's Mansion.
He sneaked into the princess's mansion and told her what he had learned.
Hawking immediately took charge and asked everyone to secretly pack up their important items and get ready, so that when they needed to leave, they could leave secretly.
