Chapter 387 Return to Beijing
He thought he no longer had any fatherly feelings for Emperor Qianyuan, but when he heard the news, he was still dazed for a moment.
They are different after all.
He opened his mouth, his mind went blank, and then he turned and walked away.
The prince went to find Lu Chenyang. This was the first time they met after their relationship was exposed.
Lu Chenyang was slightly stunned when he saw him, "What's wrong with you?"
The prince walked up to him and said softly, "He... is critically ill."
Lu Chenyang was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood.
He thought about it and said softly, "It doesn't matter. From now on, my family will be your family."
The prince's eyes suddenly turned red as he thought of the gentle Wang, and... forget it, he didn't think about his sister anymore.
He will always understand his sadness.
The prince took a deep breath and said, "Chenyang, will you stay with me?" He was about to promise.
Lu Chenyang nodded in agreement without hesitation.
The prince then held his hand and said, "You promised me, you are not allowed to go back on your word, otherwise, I will not let you go."
If Lu Xueyin were here, she would have known that the prince was playing the victim to get a promise. Unfortunately, Lu Xueyin was not here, and Lu Chenyang fell for it without hesitation, and felt very sorry for him.
Lu Chenyang was threatened, but he was not angry. Instead, he felt more pity for him. He had his own reasons - who wouldn't be sad when their father died?
The prince sniffed, his eyes red as he looked at the wounded little animal: "I have to go tell Lord Lu that this time, she will go to the capital with me."
Lu Chenyang's heart softened. He did this for his sister. "I'll go with you."
The two walked side by side to Lu Xueyin's study. Lu Ning and Tan Feng bumped into them. It was truly pleasing to the eye to watch them walk together. One was gentle as jade, the other had an extraordinary bearing, but they complemented each other beautifully.
How should I put it? People I know well have become gay. They are curious, but afraid of offending each other.
The prince entered the study, and before he could speak, Lu Xueyin said, "Your Highness, I have already made arrangements. We can set off immediately."
The prince: “…” Well, we’ve gotten the news. It seems they’ve been sending people to keep an eye on his movements.
The prince was a little angry, but when he saw Lu Chenyang's gentle eyes, he decided not to bother with her.
The prince nodded and said, "Okay, I'll have someone pack up and leave immediately."
They said they would depart immediately, but now Lu Xueyin was in a situation where all the forces were affected. She had to arrange for the accompanying guards and the military escort.
Now Lu Xueyin’s identity is different, and her safety is more important.
Tan Feng arranged it personally. In addition to the guards, he also brought 20,000 soldiers and 3,000 cavalry, all of whom were Lu Xueyin's direct subordinates.
By the time everything was arranged, it was already evening, and the group set off immediately.
The people who accompanied Lu Xueyin back to the capital this time included Lu Ning, Tan Feng, Yan Xing, Zhao Xi, and Lu Chenyang, while the others stayed in Lin'an Prefecture. Although Ji Ping was in charge of the army, after Lu Xueyin left, he would also organize the army and lead 300,000 soldiers towards the capital.
This was a preparation to avoid unrest in the capital.
Everyone knows what Lu Xueying's departure means. It is very likely that when they meet again, Lu Xueying's identity will be different.
Soon, very soon, the dust will finally settle.
The weather was cold, making travel difficult. But it seemed like God was on Lu Xueyin's side. This year, despite the usual snowy Spring Festival, there was no snow, which finally reduced some of the obstacles on the difficult journey.
Even New Year's Eve was spent on the road. Everyone had something on their mind and did not stop to celebrate on New Year's Eve.
After a long journey of more than 20 days, we finally arrived in the capital.
Gao Ming sent someone to greet Lu Xueyin, but he didn't show up in person. He was also very busy, so he only sent someone to inform Lu Xueyin of the situation in the capital.
Lu Xueyin invited everyone into her carriage. On the way to the palace, the servant reported the situation in the capital to Lu Xueyin.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been guarding the palace the entire time. He learned of the worsening of His Majesty's condition and immediately informed Lord Gao, who was instructed to make preparations. Fortunately, when Lord Gao left, the Crown Prince handed him the token from the Zhenguo Mansion, ensuring he had someone available if needed. Lord Gao has had his men monitoring the six ministers of the imperial court and the commander of the Imperial Guards. They've all remained silent, awaiting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's return." The attendant continued, "The capital is currently under control. Jiucheng Bingmasi has over ten thousand men under his command. He's a royalist, but I don't think he's a threat."
