Chapter 306 He is the backbone!

Originally, he was kind enough to think that after all, she was his sister, so he could just express his condolences and send her away casually, at least sparing her life.

But who knew that he would be tricked by someone? He could never swallow this anger.

The young emperor immediately issued an order, "Issue a public notice to capture the eldest princess Xu Yanyi and bury her with Prince Nanling!"

"Little Emperor, this is not a good idea. The prince is in trouble. If you pursue the princess so recklessly, it will probably cause resentment from the people."

"I don't care about that!" The little emperor was only worried about what that smart woman Xu Yanyi would do. "You just say that when the rebels entered the city, it was all the eldest princess's doing. I kept it a secret for so long and endured it for so long. Besides the fact that she is my sister, I also gave enough face to Prince Nanling so I suppressed this matter."

"But since the princess is not interested, I don't need to hide all this for her. The princess is so heartless and ungrateful that she doesn't deserve to live in this world. Besides, a married woman should obey her husband. Since Mu Nanzhou is dead, she should be buried with him. I am also helping them!"

The more he spoke, the more satisfied he was with his decision. "Just say it like this, the people will understand."

In fact, he understands the hearts of the people best. The people may seem harmless, but in fact, they follow the crowd. As long as all the people think so, then whether this matter is true or false, it has become a foregone conclusion.

Besides, the people who knew the truth are already dead, so who else can make trouble?

Before dusk, another announcement was issued from the palace. This announcement was posted all over the streets, and the people had no choice but to see it.

"What's going on? Didn't they just issue a notice saying something happened to Prince Nanling? What happened now?"

"It can't be about the Nanling Palace. I don't know what happened to Wang Ye. Not only is the palace gone, but it's also completely empty. I have a feeling it has something to do with this incident."

"Don't block the way, just go over and take a look and you'll know what's going on."

…

The people were all curious, so they rushed forward to read the notice.

It said that every effort should be made to capture the traitor Xu Yanyi, and that he would be beheaded immediately after being captured.

Despite such a ruthless decree, the people did not feel sorry for Xu Yanyi.

On the contrary, after hearing Yu Linjun's explanation, many people who did not know the truth turned against him and blamed Xu Yanyi.

"What the little emperor said is indeed right. When the rebels entered the city, I suspected that it was the eldest princess who did it, but she was suppressed by the palace. I didn't expect it was really her?"

"If she is a rebel, how did the princess have the nerve to live here all these years? We really have the wrong person."

"I believe in the young emperor's decision, and I strongly support the court's arrest of the eldest princess. Even if she is a member of the royal family, the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and she must not be spared!"

"Yes, just listen to the little emperor and bring the princess back. We will help!"

…

Just a few words were enough to stir up the emotions of the people. This was indeed a good move on the Internet.

Xu Yanyi and Mu Nanzhou were actually among the crowd and saw this scene, and they also saw the notice issued from the palace.

Xu Yanyi whispered, "It seems that something is not right. Many people in this city know us. We should leave as soon as possible to avoid being exposed."

"Okay, we need to leave quickly and meet up with the secret guards."

The two of them quietly withdrew from the crowd and then quietly walked towards the city gate.

Just as the two were about to leave the city gate, the guard suddenly said, "Why are you two keeping your heads down? Raise your heads so we can see if there is anything fishy."

The two of them suddenly felt nervous and quietly clenched their fists, thinking that if their identities were recognized later, they would have no choice but to fight hard.

The more silent they were, the more strange it seemed to the gatekeeper. "Raise your head quickly."

Xu Yanyi quietly held Mu Nanzhou's hand tightly, and when the two were about to look up, she ran forward like an arrow. The gatekeeper immediately responded, "Hurry up and catch those two people!"

The two of them immediately ran away into the distance, with pursuers chasing after them.

At this moment, two familiar faces appeared in front of me. "Why are you two here?"

When Xu Yanyi heard the familiar voice, she quickly looked up, and it turned out to be Feng Xuanling and the fake King Nanling!

There was no time to think so much right now, she reminded, "There are pursuers behind us, hurry up!"

Feng Xuanling and the fake King Nanling immediately took the two of them away through another path, and when the guards caught up, they had disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, Mu Nanzhou and Xu Yanyi had been taken to the secret camp and met Mu Nanzhou's men.

However, in addition to the people from Nanling Palace, there were also some appointed officials from the imperial court.

Mu Nanzhou asked cautiously, "What's going on with these people?"

His men immediately stepped forward and replied, "Your Highness, these people are not on the same page with the little emperor. After learning about this incident, they no longer believe in the little emperor's throne, so they gathered with us to rescue you."

Having said that, the officials also expressed their opinions one after another.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. We all believe in you, so we will definitely trust you and protect you this time!"

"Yes, since we are all standing here, we have made our attitude clear. We would rather be on the same page with you."

"We absolutely support you in this matter!"

…

With their support, Mu Nanzhou and Xu Yanyi felt more confident.

But some of them were a little nervous when they saw Xu Yanyi present. "There are some things I have to say. The eldest princess is a member of the royal family after all. No matter what, she is the biological sister of the little emperor. Is it inappropriate for the eldest princess to be here?"

After these words were spoken, many officials became hesitant.

"That's right, Your Majesty. Will the Princess expose us?"

"Otherwise, please ask the eldest princess to leave. As a woman, it is better for you not to get involved in discussions between us men."

…

It's not that they don't trust Mu Nanzhou, but they are worried that the eldest princess, as a member of the royal family, will turn against them in the end, and it's also for Mu Nanzhou's sake.

But Xu Yanyi was not angry. After all, she knew that they really wanted to help Mu Nanzhou, so she patiently explained, "Don't worry, everyone. I have the same idea as you. As the saying goes, if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. The little emperor's current actions have also dragged me into it. I can't get away from this matter, so I won't expose it."

They were still a little hesitant and could only look at Mu Nanzhou, hoping that he would say something. He was the backbone of the group right now!
