Chapter 562: The Palace Gets Busy (2/2)



Not to mention that he knew the importance of the princess and the young master, all the princes and dignitaries in the capital knew it clearly.

To be frank, the arrival of the princess and the young master is likely to affect the political situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

He could see something of such a major event, let alone a prince who was in the middle of a fight for the throne.

He, like the servants standing in front of him, are all slaves of the palace. If the prince can make further progress, they, the servants, will also be able to rise to higher positions. If the prince fails, they will have to live and die with the palace.

He gathered all the servants in the mansion and conveyed the prince's words to them. He knew exactly how everyone would react.

"It's time. The princess and the young master will soon be arriving at the palace. Everyone, cheer up and make preparations to welcome them."

"Yes, Chief Steward Gao."

The servants were running around, some continuing to work the night shift, some going to sleep, and some who really couldn't sleep gathered in twos and threes to discuss what flowers to plant in the garden and whether to get a few small swings.

Xie Ruiyuan had a midnight snack in the study and did not go to the bedroom to sleep. Instead, he continued to stay in the study to handle work.

You must know that before he arrived in Beijing, he received news that the King of Yue, who was guarding the southern border, had sent his eldest son to lead troops to Beijing secretly. On the surface, he only brought 20,000 soldiers and horses, but in fact there were still 80,000, all of whom sneaked into the outskirts of the capital in batches.

In addition to this, a secret letter also came from the Yama Palace, saying that in addition to these 100,000 soldiers and horses, the King of Yue had secretly hidden 100,000 soldiers in the capital for more than ten years.

When he learned that the King of Yue had 100,000 soldiers outside the capital, he was not surprised.

Even if there were another 100,000 soldiers and horses, Yama Palace would not be able to find where they were, which made him quite afraid.

When they arrived in the capital, they no longer acted openly and honestly, and only entered and left the palace at night.

Fortunately, he was very familiar with the palace and knew all the defenses clearly. It was not difficult for him to enter the palace without being noticed, even the Qiankun Palace.

Before arriving in the capital, he was very worried about his father's health, so even if he had any arrangements, he didn't dare to act rashly.

He met his father in the Qiankun Palace tonight, and was relieved to see that his father was not seriously ill.

Xie Ruiyuan believed that he was in the capital without anyone noticing, so he made various arrangements to give the King of Yue and the eldest prince a warning and put an end to their wishful thinking.

Little did she know that someone in the capital had already heard the news of his arrival and was thinking about how she could live in Prince Chen's Mansion and become its mistress.

Prime Minister's Mansion, Ruiran Garden.

[Hei Za, are you sure the Third Prince has already arrived in Beijing?]

[Of course, I wouldn't make a mistake on such a small matter.]

When Yun Ran heard the news that Hei Zha had captured the emperor, he did not doubt its authenticity, but he still couldn't believe it. The third prince he had been thinking about day and night had already entered the Prince Chen's Mansion.

Thinking that she and the Third Prince were now living in the capital, breathing the same air, her heart was filled with joy.

If it wasn't the middle of the night, he would definitely go to Prince Chen's Mansion to find the Third Prince without hesitation.

"Hei Za, do you remember last year when the Third Prince came to Beijing with such fanfare? Back then, I was just a little maidservant following Li Mengyue. I couldn't help myself even though I wanted to go see the Third Prince. Li Mengyue didn't want to go, saying there was nothing to see. I hated it. The Third Prince is my true love, how could I possibly go and see him? But the truth is, on the day the Third Prince came to Beijing, I didn't even leave the Prime Minister's residence."

When Yun Ran said this, the hatred on his face seemed to have taken substance, and his whole face was distorted. Even the evil scum who had done all kinds of bad things felt a lingering fear when he saw it, and shuddered suddenly.
