"Your Highness, the Marquis of Ningyuan has mobilized his guards, servants, and people from his estates and shops, totaling over two thousand people..."
Heading straight for the palace...
Xuan telegraphed Xie Zhun to report.
Xie Zhun's lips twitched slightly, his pupils dark. "Private soldier disguise?"
Xuan Dian replied, "Xuan Lei is tracking me; judging from his skills and age, it should be him."
Xie Zhun nodded, "Send orders to the other people who raised funds to wait outside the city..."
Wait until Marquis Ningyuan's men rush in, then enter again in a quarter of an hour later...
Although Zheng Ye was in the palace, he fought alone...
But Xie Zhun trusted his skills enough, and Ning Xi'er must have given them pistols for self-defense...
So far, no shots have been fired, indicating that the situation is still under the control of Zheng Ye and his guards.
Xie Zhun intends to use this large net to first eliminate Ning Wei, this potential threat!
Several trusted ministers stormed the imperial city...
The other ministers helped guard the palace gates and city gates...
While maintaining control of the overall situation, no one could secretly take his queen out of the city!
Her space is filled with so many treasures!
If all else fails, she can protect herself even by hiding in her own space!
So even now, there is absolutely no news of her...
But Xie Zhun believed that she must be hiding somewhere to avoid danger...
He just needs to wait patiently for her return...
Even so, his heart remained uneasy.
Xie Zhun pressed hard against his heart, forcing himself to believe that she was definitely alive and well.
"Xuan Dian, where are the Ningyuan Marquis's family members?"
Xie Zhun asked, his voice tinged with pain.
Xuan Dian perked up, "They're all at the Marquis's residence."
Your Highness, I wonder if it was just for show that Marquis Ningyuan took away all his servants and guards to create the illusion of a desperate rescue operation at the palace...?
Xuan Lei couldn't hide his anger, "Clearly, those they brought in were all private soldiers..."
"Servants and guards, they've just changed their clothes and identities, and hidden themselves..."
Among the ministers, there are quite a few who are shrewd and have such cunning.
But perhaps because of the princess, Xuan Lei and Xuan Dian only caused delays to the Marquis's residence.
"Your Highness..."
Qin Yuan couldn't help but speak up, "The bigger picture is more important, the people of the Marquis's mansion..."
Or perhaps we could wait until things stabilize in the palace before slowly cleaning up?"
Xie Zhun's voice was languid, colder than Qin Yuan, Xuan Lei, and the others had ever seen since their exile.
It seemed even more indifferent and cold than before the marriage and exile.
"It won't bother you."
Ning Xi'er was willing to risk her life to charge into battle for him and open the city gates...
Why can't he just use his brain to help her deal with the people who mistreated her and her mother?
Not only Xie Zhun, but even Qin Yuan, with a little thought, could figure out that Ning Xi'er, before the assembled army, took advantage of the chaos between the Second and Third Princes...
They dealt with Emperor Xiaowen, the Empress, the Crown Prince, and even General Shen Tuo...
It saved them so much trouble.
The high-ranking officials themselves knew that Xie Zhun and the Duke of Ehuguo only arrived after they had been rescued...
Therefore, the deaths of Emperor Xiaowen and the Crown Prince had absolutely nothing to do with Xie Zhun...
Even if the truth behind Xie Zhun's poisoning and the methods by which Emperor Xiaowen ascended the throne are uncovered...
If Xie Zhun were to be linked to the deaths of Emperor Xiaowen and the Crown Prince, it would inevitably provide ammunition for criticism, leading to attacks, fratricide, and accusations of illegitimate accession to the throne...
His actions were similar to those of his uncle, Emperor Xiaowen.
Reflecting on the Princess's sacrifices...
Qin Yuan finally spoke, firmly siding with Xie Zhun on the order of dealing with the Marquis's residence.
"Are all the illegitimate children of the Marquis's family now living in the manor?"
Qin Yuan asked.
Xuan Lei and Xuan Dian nodded simultaneously, their eyes filled with excitement.
Xie Zhun sent them to keep an eye on Marquis Ningyuan...
They guessed its purpose.
"Tie up Ning Wei's two illegitimate sons and throw them into the imperial city..."
Pretending to be ambitious and eager for credit, and taking the initiative to participate...
Xie Zhun's eyes turned cold. "Their two eldest brothers have been serving on the border for many years..."
They definitely wanted to do their best...
Xuan Lei and Xuan Dian accepted their orders and left.
Xie Zhun's gaze narrowed slightly, as if he were saying to Ning Xi'er in his heart:
Look! I've rid you of two major threats, and Chen, who framed your mother, will suffer unbearable pain...
I understand a thousand times, ten thousand times, the pain my mother felt when she used you and my brother to threaten her...
Aren't you going to come back and visit?
