Chapter 140 Abandoning the Car Bodyguard

Minglan patted her hand gently and said with a smile: "Miss Rong, you are too kind. Girls should support each other. Besides, we are in the same predicament, and it is fate. You should rest assured to recover and don't worry about other things."

Mingxi just heard this sentence when she came in, thinking, you are predestined, because you both like the same man. If you didn't like this man, you wouldn't have suffered this disaster! But she really wants to thank you. If you hadn't saved her, this girl would have died.

Mingxi complained in her heart, so she made some noise to interrupt the conversation between the two.

Seeing Mingxi coming in, Minglan introduced Rong Feiyan, "Miss Rong, this is my young lady. When you were unconscious, it was Sister Chengzi who was by my young lady's side who took care of you."

Rong Feiyan looked at Mingxi and Chengzi gratefully and expressed her gratitude again.

Mingxi had something to tell Minglan, and she came to see Rong Feiyan because she knew she was coming to see Rong Feiyan. Since Rong Feiyan was awake, the timing was right, so she directly explained her purpose.

"Minglan, Miss Rong, the news of your rescue will be kept secret in our house for the time being. This is to prevent the Prince of Yong and the Lord of Jiacheng from getting angry and persecuting you once again when they find out that you two ignored our rescue; and to prevent some deployments from being disturbed. Therefore, Miss Rong will have to stay in our house for a while until the situation stabilizes."

Mingxi paused and said, "Lord Rong has to Knowing that Miss Rong was missing, they were very anxious. They had already reported the case to the capital government and went to the palace to ask Concubine Rong for help. It seemed that everyone in the Rong family was very worried about Miss Rong. But for the safety of Miss Rong and the Rong family, we kept the news of your rescue secret from the Rong family. I hope Miss Rong understands. "

After hearing this, although Rong Feiyan was reluctant to leave her family, she also understood the interests involved and nodded to show her understanding.

...

That night, the moon was hidden and the stars were sinking. The wind brought a bit of coolness through the alleys of the capital. A dark cloud covered the moonlight, adding an ominous omen to this sudden change.

Outside the Yong Palace, torches were like dragons, and a large number of imperial guards surrounded this prosperous mansion tightly like an iron wall and a copper wall. The dull sound of armor colliding and the occasional neighing of horses in the distance intertwined together, tense and suppressed.

Inside the Yong Palace, candles were gradually lit everywhere, and a panicked atmosphere spread throughout the palace.

Prince Yong was suddenly awakened from his deep sleep by the sound of hurried footsteps and the call of his trusted general. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at the figure reflected by the candlelight outside the door, "What disturbed my sweet dream?"

The trusted general Li Jingzhou outside the door said anxiously: "My lord, there are a large number of imperial guards outside the door to guard the palace."

Prince Yong rubbed his swollen head and was still a little dizzy. He had been feasting all day today and was drunk and dizzy.

"What did you say? The imperial guards surrounded the palace? The imperial guards surrounded my palace?" There was a bit of disbelief in his words, as if he was still immersed in the joy of the daytime banquet and the alcohol had not yet completely dissipated.

"Your Highness, it is absolutely true. The imperial guards have surrounded the palace. The situation is critical." Li Jingzhou was so anxious that his forehead was covered with sweat.

Prince Yong gulped down a large bowl of cold tea, and his mind regained some clarity. His heart was already in turmoil, "How... how is this possible?"

A chill went straight up from the soles of his feet to Prince Yong's heart. He looked uncertain and hurriedly put on his clothes, "Could it be that the matter was exposed? But there has been no news?"

"Is the capital government handling cases so quickly now?" Prince Yong rubbed his swollen head while guessing various situations.

When Prince Yong came out after putting on his clothes, his confidant said something shocking, "Prince, one of our armories was confiscated. I just received the news that the imperial guards came to surround the palace."

Prince Yong was shocked, "The armory was confiscated... this..." Prince Yong muttered to himself, his face pale as paper. He knew the interests behind this. Once the armory was exposed, his years of planning would be in vain, and it might even lead to a disaster.

"Has your majesty woken up? Is there any movement in the palace?" Prince Yong asked anxiously, still holding a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"No news has come from the palace, but now is not the time to wait." Li Jingzhou said in a deep voice. He knew the urgency of the situation and suggested, "Prince, there is no time to delay. We must act immediately, fight

our way out of the siege, and then make plans for the future." "No news has come from the palace." The confidant replied. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke, "Prince, I will lead you out. We will fight our way out and bring our men back to fight. Since Your Majesty is unkind, we will do it once and for all. Then you will be the master of the world."

Prince Yong pondered for a moment, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and nodded in agreement. He had always wanted to be in power, but he just gave up the plan earlier.

Seeing him nod in agreement, Li Jingzhou was about to gather his men and horses to fight out.

Unexpectedly, Prince Yong stopped him and said, "No need to fight hard. There is a secret passage under the palace. I ordered people to dig it secretly in my early years, just in case of emergency. Tonight is the time to use it."

The trusted general heard this, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. He was about to turn around to make arrangements and notify the princess and several princes and county lords, but was stopped by Prince Yong again.

"Wait, this matter needs to be done with caution. The princess and the children should not be in danger. It may be safer for them to stay in the palace. Just take the eldest and third princes!"

The trusted general was slightly stunned when he heard this, but then he thought, if the prince takes the eldest and third princes with him, it will be easier to hide with fewer people. If all the masters of the palace are gone, the imperial guards will definitely notice it. In this case, it is better for the princess and other princes and county lords to stay.

The County Lady Jiacheng had originally laid down to rest, but the joy of getting rid of her two biggest worries made her a little excited, so she didn't fall asleep for a long time.

When she heard the noise outside the house, she opened her eyes and felt that the fire outside was a little unusual. The County Lady Jiacheng got up and put on her clothes. She found that her personal maid had fallen asleep on the bed. Jiacheng was upset and kicked her awake.

"Go outside to see what's going on?"

The maid was kicked awake in her dream and didn't dare to say anything. She quietly got up to find out the news, but the courtyard was dark and there was no movement. She only vaguely saw some fire outside the house.

"County Lord, everything is normal in the mansion, but I don't know why there is a fire outside the mansion."

Jiacheng glanced at the maid, cursed "waste", and still felt a little uneasy, so he put on his clothes and went to the princess's courtyard.

"County Lord, the princess has gone to bed. The princess slept uneasily today and drank some sleeping pills before going to bed. I'm afraid it's impossible to wake the princess up now."
