Chapter 619 God Will Bless You
After applying the medicine to Bu Shengyan, Xiao Xixi washed her hands and prepared to leave the tent.
Luo Yechen suddenly called her, his voice sounded muffled.
"The reason you reminded me to be careful and not go out was because you knew something might happen to my mother?"
Xiao Xixi paused and said helplessly.
"I can only predict that something bad will happen to you, but I can't predict what it is."
After all, she is just a mortal with limited abilities and cannot plan everything for the best.
Luo Yechen: "If I had listened to your advice and not left the palace, would my mother not have died?"
Xiao Xixi: "The death of Concubine Hui has nothing to do with you. Even if you didn't enter the palace, Prince Xiling and Qin Zhong would not give up their plan to force the emperor to abdicate. In the final analysis, it was because of their selfish desires that so many people died. They are the culprits. You don't need to take the blame on yourself."
Luo Yechen clenched his hands into fists, his eyes filled with hatred.
He gritted his teeth and asked, "Can the prince win this battle?"
Xiao Xixi clenched her fists and said with great certainty.
"Of course we can win. The prince is a righteous man, and God will bless him."
…
The prince personally led an army of 30,000 to attack Shengjing City from Mingde Gate.
The people in the city were alarmed and opened their doors and windows to look out.
There were scouts running and shouting in front of the army.
"Prince Xiling and Qin Zhong are plotting to usurp the throne. The emperor is in danger. The crown prince is leading his army to rescue him. All irrelevant personnel must leave immediately!"
The army behind followed suit and shouted.
"Kill the traitors and save the emperor!"
The shouts were uniform and resounded through the sky.
Only then did the people realize that Prince Xiling and Qin Chong had actually rebelled. They also saw that the army led by the prince was disciplined and did not take the opportunity to seize the people's private property, so the people felt relieved.
A few brave people even joined in the cheering.
"Come on, Your Highness!"
As soon as he finished shouting, he was forcibly suppressed by his family members.
When Mei Guangtao, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, received the news that the prince was leading his troops to attack the city, he was so frightened that his hairline moved back another millimeter.
He covered his precarious hairline and wailed in pain.
"One by one, can't you just be quiet? Do you have to force me to lose all my hair?!"
He jumped out of bed in a hurry, put on his official uniform, gathered a thousand soldiers as quickly as possible, and rushed straight to the palace.
When the prince's army was about to approach the palace, they were stopped by a group of people.
This group of people was divided into two parts, one was representatives sent by aristocratic families, and the other was officials in office in the court.
The highest-ranking ones among them are the five cabinet ministers.
They took the initiative to walk out of the crowd and expressed their request to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Jiang Yuanshan took the other party's identity into consideration and did not make things difficult for him. He just asked the other party to wait for a moment and then turned around to report the matter to the prince.
After a moment.
The prince rode steadily towards the army on his horse.
The five ministers greeted him.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Luo Qinghan was riding on horseback. He could probably guess the purpose of this group of people's visit and said lightly.
"You brought people to block my way because you suspected that I fabricated the coup in order to use it as an excuse to lead troops to attack the palace and seize the throne, right?"
The elders did not expect the prince to speak so bluntly, and they could not help but look embarrassed.
Luo Qinghan didn't argue with them any further. He just took out the military token and shook it.
"Look what this is?"
When everyone looked carefully, they found that it was actually a military token, and their faces changed drastically.
An impatient elder asked.
"Your Highness, where did this military token come from?"
Luo Qinghan said slowly.
“This is my father’s military token.
My father was in trouble and unable to escape, so he could only hand over the military command to the King of England, who took it out of the palace and then handed it to me.
It is also because of this that I know that there are people in the palace who are plotting to usurp the throne.
If you still don’t believe me, I have witnesses here.”
Gan Fu was pushed out.
He said expressionlessly, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is right. Prince Xiling and Qin Zhong have indeed rebelled."
Almost all the ministers in the court knew him; he was the most useful eunuch around the emperor.
Since he has come forward to testify, it must be true.
Rescuing the emperor is urgent.
The court officials did not dare to stop him and they all stepped back to make way.
Several of the generals simply joined the prince's army and wanted to go into the palace with the prince to kill the enemy and rescue him.
As for the representatives of those aristocratic families, they were unwilling to give in and wanted to stop it.
But the prince didn't want to waste time talking to them and gave the order directly.
"Anyone who obstructs the rescue of the emperor will be treated as an accomplice of the traitors and will be killed without mercy!"
The 30,000-strong army immediately continued to advance.
Seeing the iron hooves rushing towards them, the representatives of the aristocratic families were so scared that they turned pale and almost crawled to the side of the road.
The 30,000-strong army had a head-on conflict with the rebels at the palace gate.
The second wave of team battle begins!
When Mei Guangtao arrived near the imperial palace with a thousand soldiers, he saw that the prince's army and the rebels were fighting in full swing and realized that he could not intervene at all.
He hesitated for a moment and decided to change direction and rush to Qin's Mansion.
Since Qin has rebelled again, the entire Qin family is an accomplice of the rebellion and should all be arrested.
But when they rushed to the Qin Mansion, they saw that the entire Qin Mansion had been surrounded by people from the Ministry of Justice.
They all held swords and torches and looked ferocious.
The leader was none other than the Minister of Justice, Dong Mingchun.
Dong Mingchun was quite surprised when he saw Mei Guangtao coming.
"Why is Mei Fuyin here?"
Mei Guangtao stared at him: "Shouldn't I be the one asking you this?"
Dong Mingchun smiled and said, "I am here on the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to round up the families of the rebels."
Only then did Mei Guangtao realize that the prince had already made arrangements and he was a step too late.
If he had known that he would not be needed anywhere, he would not have gotten up to work overtime!
Isn't it nice to sleep at home late at night? !
"Since it's none of my business, let's go back first."
Mei Guangtao was ready to turn around and leave.
Dong Mingchun quickly called him and suggested with a smile.
"If you have nothing else to do, you might as well go and take control of the Cui family. The Cui family sent someone to assassinate the crown prince tonight, and the crown prince is very busy right now and has no time to deal with them, so we can only ask Mei to help."
There's obviously nothing wrong with it, but you insist on finding trouble for him. This is forcing him to continue working overtime!
Mei Guangtao looked at the top of his head with resentment and asked with a forced smile.
"Minister Dong's hair is really thick."
Dong Mingchun smiled and said, "I have a secret recipe for hair growth. I'll have someone send it to you later."
Mei Guangtao immediately smiled enthusiastically: "Why didn't you tell me earlier if you had such a good thing? Don't worry, I will definitely take care of all the people in the Cui family!"
He patted the horse under him and shouted to the thousand soldiers behind him.
"Let's go to Cui's house!"
