86. Chapter 86: Blatant Favoritism



I have to say that Gu Tai is a very cunning old man.

He knew very well that Prince Yan was never afraid of what people said, otherwise he would not have been nicknamed "Mad Dog of the Imperial City".

If he gets angry, even the emperor will dare to take a bite.

But Prince Yan would never let anyone talk about Su Zhenbei.

"Then change one."

King Yan turned and looked at Yan Xiao.

"This - I will do it right away."

Yan Xiao hesitated for a moment, then went back to the imperial city from Shili Pavilion, got a car and rushed back. It would take a long time to go back and forth. Could it be that his master would have to stay here and wait for such a long time? The master could wait, but the King of Rui couldn't stay here for a long time. The wild wind in Shili Pavilion was very strong. It would be bad if the wind blew and injured the King of Rui.

"Uncle, you see, Emperor Song is a thoughtful person. He brought four carriages with him. Emperor Song is always out doing business, so the carriages he brought are naturally convenient for traveling."

Su Zhenbei was injured so badly that he fell into coma again before reaching Shili Pavilion after being rescued by Prince Yan halfway.

Su Zhenbei was already covered in wounds, and now he had to use his inner strength to fight a battle, and now he was vomiting blood and unconscious. The King of Yan originally carried Su Zhenbei to his horse, but when Su Zhenbei fainted, he had to take Su Zhenbei to ride in his carriage. Usually, the King of Yan didn't like riding in a carriage. He always thought it was a carriage for girls.

Because the emperor ordered him to leave Beijing for his fiefdom. He packed up the things in the mansion, including his luxurious carriage. The carriage was originally left by his mother. The princess of Northern Frontier rode in this carriage all the way from Northern Frontier to Daqi for marriage. Naturally, it was extraordinarily luxurious. The Prince of Yan was leaving Beijing and could not return to Beijing without being summoned. The butler of the Prince of Yan's mansion naturally had to clean up the Prince of Yan's mansion. Especially this carriage, which must be taken with him.

Originally, the Prince of Yan was thinking of going to the imperial mausoleum to pay respect to his father before leaving Beijing, guarding his father's spirit for half a night, and talking to his father. Then, at dawn, he calculated the time and route for the Su family's exiled prisoners to depart, and waited for Su Zhenbei halfway. He simply kidnapped him and took him directly to his fiefdom.

Therefore, he asked the butler to wait with the Yanwang Mansion convoy in one place, and he took people to pick up Su Zhenbei. There was a person hiding in the carriage, a person who was 80% similar to Su Zhenbei.

His appearance is definitely not comparable to Su Zhenbei's. Not to mention the imperial city, even in the whole of Da Qi and the rest of the world, it is impossible to find someone as handsome as Su Zhenbei. Not to mention someone who looks like Su Zhenbei. So the person that the King of Yan hid in the car had a disguise.

Prince Yan and his staff had made all sorts of calculations, but they had not expected that the Emperor would actually send the Second Prince to personally convey his order, asking him to stay and repair the imperial mausoleum, and to discuss his departure later.

This gave King Yan a headache.

He wanted to hide Su Zhenbei in the imperial mausoleum, right under the nose of his brother. Besides, he couldn't keep it a secret for long if he had someone disguise himself as Su Zhenbei. After a few days of exile, he would be discovered. By then, his brother's heart was as deep as the sea, and Gu Tai was slandering him. His brother would definitely guess that he had taken Su Zhenbei away. How would he protect Su Zhenbei then? Unexpectedly, the King of Yan was worried.

Su Zhenbei woke up in the car.

"White Clothes doesn't have to plan for me anymore. I must go into exile with my family."

"You will die if you are exiled like this."

Prince Yan's eyes turned red as he looked at Su Zhenbei. In all these years, he had never convinced Su Zhenbei once.

"Bai Yi, our whole family is heading to the Northern Frontier. I am the only one familiar with the place. Besides, my eldest uncle is missing, my second uncle Song is captured, and my third uncle is still imprisoned in Yancheng Prison. My eighth uncle's whereabouts are unknown. They are all still waiting for me to rescue them. I can't leave with you."

"You will die. I won't let you die. Donglai is gone. I can't lose you again."

Prince Yan shook his head, his eyes became redder, and tears welled up in his eyes but refused to fall.

"Bai Yi, you must leave the capital three days ago."

"There may be an incident in the capital in three days."

Three days later, the capital will be overturned by the earth dragon. This was said by Mi Baobao. Although Su Zhenbei believed in his younger sister's magical powers, he still couldn't tell the King of Yan directly. If he did, with the King of Yan's temper, he would let everyone know. This was a time of trouble.

The emperor killed the prince and exiled the two families of Prince Su.

At this time, the imperial tomb collapsed again, and rumors were flying all over the capital.

At this time, the King of Yan said something about the earth dragon turning over. In addition, he stayed to repair the imperial mausoleum. If there were such words again,

The people will surely panic, and some of the ministers will surely use this incident to attack the King of Yan.

"I have to repair the imperial mausoleum. My brother will not let me leave the capital. Three days is too short. Even if I rush to repair it, it will take four or five days."

King Yan always did what Su Zhenbei said, never objecting or thinking about it.

"Don't repair the inside, just have someone repair the outside. Then go and invite the right prime minister to the court. Tomorrow there will be a war report from the east. The Japanese pirates from Donglin Kingdom have invaded Daqi and have already captured three cities. Let the right prime minister propose that you send troops to suppress the Japanese. There are no generals in the court at this time, so the emperor will naturally send you. Just gather the troops and leave quickly."

"Also, please don't create any unnecessary trouble. Our family can only survive if we can be exiled safely and leave the capital. If we delay here for any longer, something might happen."

"Bai Yi, remember, I am a fugitive now. Do not conflict with the officers, and proceed according to the routine. The lower the profile, the better."

"Bai Yi, you must send us to Shili Pavilion as soon as possible and hand us over to the escorting officers, so that we can be exiled safely. Staying here any longer is dangerous. In the eyes of those with ulterior motives, we are no longer exiles, but fugitives. We should be executed for our crimes."

He said too much and it took up too much of his energy. After saying this, Su Zhenbei closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Prince Yan was most worried about Su Zhenbei's health.

At this moment, King Rui's words penetrated deeply into his heart.

"Yan Xiao, send some things over and decorate the car. The exile journey is long, and Zhenbei is seriously injured. Make the car softer. Um, take whatever you can out of my car."

At this point, the King of Yan glanced at Gu Tai and said, "You're not going to say anything about the four cars of Emperor Song being against the rules, are you?"

Then, without waiting for Gu Tai to reply, he smiled coldly, "I am sending some things over. I don't have a car, so I will load them all in the car sent by Song Huangshang."

Naturally, the officials did not dare to refuse the Su family from accepting the gifts given by Prince Yan.

When Prince Yan said this, it was equivalent to telling everyone that the four cars of the Su family were given by him, Prince Yan, and no longer belonged to the Emperor Song.

"Your Highness Prince Yan is a thoughtful person. I admire you. But there is one thing I have to say. People are not worried about the lack of prisoners, but the inequality of prisoners. Your Highness Prince Yan, you see, there are so many prisoners. There are civil and military prisoners, young and old. Everyone is walking, but the Su family has four cars."

Gu Tai smiled meaningfully.

"We are close to the imperial city now, and we have your protection. Those people dare not have any bad intentions. But you just said that the exile is long, and there is no telling what will happen along the way. By then, cannibalism is likely to happen. The Su family has a group of women and children, and Su Zhenbei is injured like that. Do you think the four cars of the Su family can be saved?"
