Yu Qianqian and Pei Hua took advantage of the chaos to escape from the Regent's Palace. Fearing that Mu Feiyu would come after them after learning of her escape, and since the Jing Prince's Palace and Pei Hua's house were obviously not the places to go, they went directly to a secluded mountain forest.
After resting briefly in a nearby bamboo hut and eating something to fill her stomach, she suddenly decided to head to the border.
"Since Mu Feiyu has already done so many bad things, I will also use my own methods to turn the tide. As for the outcome, let's see who will have the last laugh."
In the afternoon, all the assassins were summoned. She and Pei Hua finally agreed that she would personally lead the group to the border to provide emergency relief. After everything was ready, they set off at dawn.
At this moment, Yu Qianqian, who was leading the group of people galloping forward, had a slender and upright back. Her demeanor was heroic and spirited. She was dressed in black men's clothing, and her hair was tied up in a high bun. The scar on half of her face was completely covered by a golden mask.
With a whip in one hand and the reins in the other, Yu Qianqian galloped forward at an incredible speed. The ground was constantly kicked up by the speeding horse, and the wind howled as it passed. Her light gauze robe was also blown wildly. Behind her, countless people and horses followed in a grand procession.
The next day passed in the blink of an eye, and Jiang Lan Kingdom was still in a state of turmoil. Since the late emperor had not had time to make a will before his death, the matter of the new emperor's ascension to the throne had become a worry for everyone. Some ministers had formed a faction with Grand Tutor Su Heng, adhering to the principle of serving the country and the people and advocating that the eldest prince should be the ruler of the country, while others supported Su Yu without any doubt.
The change of imperial power is like the sifting of sand by waves, seemingly able to reverse the course of history in the blink of an eye.
Su Zhenzhen jogged back to the Grand Tutor's mansion. Hearing that Su Heng was entertaining guests in the living room, she went straight there. However, she stopped in front of the door out of curiosity after overhearing some noises inside.
Su Zhenzhen peeked out, almost pressing her ear against the door, but the sounds inside grew louder and louder, every word crystal clear, leaving her speechless with astonishment.
"Su Yu and I are both legitimate sons, but my father favored the Empress and even went so far as to depose the eldest son and establish a younger one in favor of her, treating me, the eldest son, as a nobody. Su Yu, on the other hand, takes advantage of his superior status and targets me at every turn, showing no regard for sibling affection. If he were to ascend the throne one day, he would certainly not tolerate me. I hope that my uncle would help Ye'er out of consideration for our shared Su clan lineage. If I were to become the ruler of a country one day, I would certainly treat you well."
"It is rare for the Crown Prince to be so respectful to scholars. I never imagined that an old man like me, nearing fifty, would be valued by the royal family. I am deeply honored to be able to serve Your Highness with such loyalty!"
Hearing this, Su Zhenzhen was completely stunned. She never expected that Su Ye would come to her door at this time, conspiring with her father to seize the throne. If their dream really came true, what would happen to Su Yu? And what would become of her?
Her mind raced, and she completely forgot where she was. She was even unaware that Su Heng and Su Ye had come out until a dry cough came from their direction. Only then did she realize that her eavesdropping had been exposed.
