After they left, Steward Wang led everyone out of the manor, leaving it empty in an instant.
However, although the entire palace was empty, Princess Rong was still there.
After Qin Mohan and the others left.
The maidservant beside Princess Rongguo looked indignant and resentful.
"Princess, the people from the Han Prince's Mansion are really going too far. They all left without even saying goodbye to us."
"Yes, Princess, in my humble opinion, we should return to Rong Kingdom instead of going through with the marriage alliance."
Princess Rong glanced at the two maids.
"Have you all forgotten why I, this princess, have come here for a political marriage?"
"This...this servant hasn't forgotten, but now that the Seventh Prince has been driven out of the capital, what should we do?"
"Fine, since Qin Mohan is so ungrateful, then this princess will not waste her time on him."
"Princess, do you have some ideas?"
"Hmph, since the Emperor of Great Xia has said that I, the princess, can choose again, then I, the princess, will simply choose the Crown Prince."
"The Crown Prince?"
"That's right."
"Princess, didn't you investigate the Crown Prince thoroughly before we arrived? He's a complete incompetent fool, utterly unfit for any important task. If you choose him, then what will happen..."
"What can we do? Right now, only the Crown Prince has a chance to sit on that position; no one else does."
“Princess, actually, in my opinion, the Third Prince seems quite good, and the Fifth Prince is said to be clear-headed and a strategist.”
Princess Rong frowned slightly after hearing this, thought for a moment, and then shook her head.
"While they are both good, it's probably impossible for them to climb to that position."
"impossible?"
"Hmm! That third prince seems to be quite clever, but he doesn't seem to be favored by the emperor."
As for the fifth prince, needless to say, it's said his mother rose to power from a lowly maid, so no matter how capable he is, he can never truly be considered respectable.
"Well... alright! Princess, the entire Han Prince's mansion is now empty, what should we do?"
"You all pack your things later, then we'll go to the palace. I'll go to the Emperor and ask for a residence."
"Yes, Princess."
The two maids were about to leave after they finished responding.
However, at this moment, Princess Rong spoke again.
"etc!"
The two maids stopped and looked at her.
Have our people arrived yet?
"Your Highness, the envoy from Wei and Yan has arrived and is currently staying at a wine hall in the east of the capital."
How many men did he bring?
"It seems they brought quite a lot."
"Alright, Meixiang, go and convey my decree to Wei Yan, and tell him to bring that slut to see me."
"Bitch?"
"It's that Princess Han."
"Princess, what do you want to see her for?"
"Hmph, that bitch ruined our grand plan. This princess will have to torture her properly, otherwise I won't be able to vent my anger."
"Yes, Princess."
After Meixiang finished speaking, she was about to leave, but then she suddenly remembered something and turned around again.
"Princess, that vile woman is with the Seventh Prince, so she must have many experts protecting her. It doesn't seem easy to capture her, does it?"
"Hmph, then kill Qin Mohan too. If I, the princess, can't have him, then no one else can either."
Meixiang nodded after hearing this: "Yes, Princess, I will go right away."
After saying that.
Mei Xiang then withdrew.
Meanwhile, Mei Xue went to tidy up.
soon.
They also left the Han Prince's mansion.
This way.
After receiving news that Qin Mohan and his group had left the capital, the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fifth Prince dispatched several groups of experts to ambush and kill them.
Of course, it wasn't just the Crown Prince; Prime Minister Ye also did so. After learning that Qin Mohan and his group were heading towards the outskirts of the capital, he had already arranged for a group of people to hide in the dense forest along the official road leading out of the capital.
And at this moment.
Ye Qingcheng and Qin Mohan, in their two carriages, also left the capital and headed towards Jiangnan.
On the carriage.
Ye Qingcheng looked at Qin Mohan and asked.
"By the way, Qin Mohan, when we went to worship Buddha before, did you know that someone was going to attack me?"
Qin Mohan nodded.
"Huh? How did you know?"
Qin Mohan sighed: "That day, my father asked me to marry the princess of Rong Kingdom. I disagreed, and my father made it clear that he would not keep you. So I was worried that my father would take action against you, so I sent Qinglong and the others over."
"Hmm? Father?"
"Um!"
Upon hearing this...
Ye Qingcheng frowned slightly.
Seeing this, Qin Mohan asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"I found a note on a group of assassins, and the handwriting on it was Ye Jizheng's."
"Prime Minister Ye?"
"Um!"
"You mean... that it was Prime Minister Ye who arranged for the attack on you?"
"I don't know either, but the handwriting on that note is definitely his."
After listening.
Qin Mohan frowned, thought for a moment, and asked, "How many groups of assassins did you encounter in total?"
"At Miaoyin Temple, we encountered two groups, one of which was the group I mentioned that found Ye Jizheng's note."
There was another group of only four people. Their origins were unknown, but they were later wiped out by Qinglong and his group.
Later, on the way back to Beijing, I encountered several more groups of people, I don't know who sent them.
"Hmph, it seems those are all the Crown Prince's men."
"The Crown Prince?"
"That's right."
"Why are we talking about the Crown Prince again?"
"Qing'er, you don't know this, but I always thought that Father would send secret guards to kill you. But later the Crown Prince came and told me that Father had entrusted him with the task of getting rid of you."
"Hmm? Your Highness, have I come to tell you?"
"Um!"
"He came to tell you, and then sent someone else. What does he mean by that?"
