As expected, Jiang Meng suffered a miscarriage.
The imperial physician continued to administer medication, but he showed no signs of waking up.
When Princess Jiang heard the news, she was driven mad. Her son was far away on the Yellow River and had not yet returned. Her husband went to the palace and heard that the Imperial Guards had surrounded the palace and his fate was unknown. Now her daughter was also unconscious.
Moreover, he cannot leave the palace to visit anyone, as the area outside is full of the Third Young Master Jiang Yuchen's people.
After finally managing to crawl out of the palace through the dog hole, Eunuch Li found the streets filled with Jiang Yuchen's soldiers. Helpless, he had no choice but to take off his eunuch clothes, smear ash on his face, and mingle among the beggars.
"Hurry up, hurry up, make way, make way!"
Have you ever seen a eunuch?
"It looks like this."
"Look more closely."
The Third Young Master's men are searching everywhere for his whereabouts.
"You, turn around." A soldier happened to see him and called out to him.
Eunuch Li turned around tremblingly. The two men looked at the portrait for a long time, and Eunuch Li was so frightened that he wet himself on the spot.
What does it taste like?
"Wow!"
"Go away, go away, you wretched beggar!"
Unexpectedly, this urination helped him evade the search. The city gates were tightly closed, and many of the people stationed there were former members of the Qi family army.
Jiang Meng was devastated when she woke up and learned the news. When she heard about what happened in the palace, she became even more agitated.
At this time, she was unaware that her brother would become the successor.
The messenger sent out said that the general had not yet returned to visit, and tears streamed down her face.
Jiang Meng lay on the bed, her face drained of color and her appearance haggard.
Maids and nannies stood in the courtyard, and several concubines and secondary wives also rushed over, especially Concubine Liu who was the first to arrive.
Chu Yue, who was in the woodshed, was overjoyed when she heard about it, but she didn't reveal her true colors and continued to play the fool.
The women in the courtyard were all pretending to sob, praising the lady. Ruan Yu Mu almost burst out laughing when he saw their hypocritical behavior.
However, having spent some time with Jiang Meng in the army, she now felt that fate was unfair. If she were still a general, Jiang Meng would definitely be showered with love and affection.
However, she deserved her fate for being so vicious. She had been deceived by her soft and cute appearance. Indeed, women are good at pretending.
Yuqing looked at the group of people behind her. Only Lüling was crying uncontrollably, as if her mother had died in childbirth because of Lüling, and she could empathize with her more deeply.
At this moment, Green Spirit longed to escape the Qi family mansion.
Unable to outmaneuver these women, and not being pretty herself, General Qi hadn't visited her in a long time.
Ruan Yumu looked at Madam Liu, who was eight months pregnant. She was very agile and took three steps at a time, pushing aside the maids and rushing to Jiang Mengyi's bedside.
At this moment, all she could see was joy and arrogance, as if she had won against the princess and was very happy.
She stood up straight, staring intently at Jiang Mengyi, as if she were certain of becoming the new mistress of the Qi family after Jiang Mengyi's passing. Indeed, she would be the new mistress of the Qi family.
Several imperial physicians came out, and Yuqing left the people in the courtyard to go to the woodshed to ask Chuyue for help.
"Please, Second Miss, and I will go with you to visit Madam."
"My young lady has gone mad. It's no use whether you go or not. Please go back, Miss Yuqing!" Qiao'er stopped Yuqing without even announcing her arrival.
"Please, Second Miss, and I will go to visit Madam." Yuqing deliberately raised her voice again.
"Please go back. My young lady has been insane for so long. Please don't make things difficult for her. We are all servants."
Yuqing looked reluctantly at the closed door, sighed, and left.
"Qiao'er, is the one in the North Courtyard no longer able to work?" Chu Yue sat upright in front of a broken mirror, doing her makeup, and said in a calm tone.
"Miss, it must be. I saw everyone in the manor went over there; it's quiet everywhere," Qiao'er said softly, bowing her head. She was still afraid of being overheard.
A mocking smile flashed across Chu Yue's face.
When Qi Jingxuan and Jiang Congzhi arrived in Kyoto, they saw that the gate was tightly closed.
"Something terrible has happened, young master! There seems to be trouble in the palace!"
"Even if you don't tell me, I can tell from the situation. Do you have any ideas? We can't even contact the private soldiers of the Duke of Jing's mansion now."
“Young Master, come with me to the military camp outside the city. General Xu’s army is there. I still have forty or fifty thousand Qi family soldiers there after I returned from the Kingdom of Bianta.”
Jiang Congzhi was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly followed.
"General Xu, muster the troops and march into the palace! If we are too late, His Majesty may face great calamity."
Before General Xu could even greet them, he saw a dozen or so people rushing around.
"Alright, alright, fifteen minutes!"
"quick!"
"Reorganize the army!"
Forty to fifty thousand men marched in a grand procession to the city gate. "Listen up, those on the city gate! We are here on orders from the palace to attend a meeting at the imperial palace. Open the city gates immediately!" General Xu shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Who is this person?"
"Lu San'er, it's your grandfather, General Xu! Open the door! General Qi is here!"
Upon recognizing the person who entered, Lu San'er completely forgot Jiang Yuchen's orders and opened the door immediately.
When Jiang Congzhi led 50,000 troops into the city, the civilians began to panic, but upon seeing the banners of the Qi family army, they all made way.
Hidden in the crowd, Eunuch Li spotted Qi Jingxuan and Jiang Congzhi at a glance and immediately rushed out.
The horse suddenly neighed.
"Who goes there?" General Xu held a spear to Li Gonggong's face.
"It's me, young master, I'm Eunuch Li from the palace." Eunuch Li said, quickly taking out the jade seal from his bosom.
"His Majesty has passed the throne to you. Go to the palace quickly and save His Majesty!"
"How is His Majesty?" Jiang Congzhi asked worriedly, unaware of the situation.
"When I came out, the Emperor and Empress had already been taken hostage, and now they are likely in grave danger..." Before Eunuch Li could finish speaking, two arrows shot towards him. Qi Jingxuan quickly deflected them with his sword.
"Protect the Crown Prince!" Qi Jingxuan roared, asserting Jiang Congzhi's status.
General Xu snatched the imperial seal with a flick of his spear and carefully placed it in his bosom.
"Thank you very much, Eunuch Li, oh..."
Jiang Congzhi hadn't finished speaking when Qi Jingxuan pulled him away.
"Your Highness, the most urgent task is to go to the palace to rescue His Majesty! Don't waste time here."
In the blink of an eye, two more arrows shot over, but Qi Jingxuan ducked and dodged them.
One of the arrows grazed Jiang Congzhi's arm.
"How is it, Your Highness?" General Xu asked with concern.
"A little scratch, it's nothing, let's go into the palace!" Jiang Congzhi immediately got into the zone, after all, it was a matter of life or death now, and if they didn't fight for it, they would lose their lives.
"All soldiers, heed my command! With the Imperial Seal in hand, I am the Crown Prince! Follow me into the palace to quell the rebels and rescue His Majesty!"
"rush!"
"Charge!"
