Chapter 741 Gathering - The Shadowless Arrival
The sixth prince felt that it was perfectly reasonable for the emperor to be sad.
However, it was her words that suddenly enlightened the Second Prince.
He had felt something was off about those words, but after hearing what the Sixth Prince said, the Second Prince realized that since the Emperor had already deposed the Crown Prince, even if he was reluctant to call him a rebellious son, he should have said that the Crown Prince had been deposed.
But when the emperor mentioned Bai Moqin just now, he was clearly still referring to the crown prince. Does this mean that the decree to depose the crown prince was not issued by the emperor at all?
Or, if we think about it more deeply, Bai Moqin was actually framed by the eldest prince.
If that's the case, the whole thing becomes even more complicated.
The second prince grew increasingly alarmed, and his steps quickened unconsciously. Seeing his face turn pale in an instant, the sixth prince knew the second prince must have realized something, so he followed.
The emperor only slowly opened his eyes after the three men had left: he hoped that his two sons would be smart enough to guess something from his words and actions.
Mingyu thought he would need a few more days to receive Gu Shuyan's letter, but to his surprise, he not only received the letter ahead of schedule, but also met an old friend.
"Brother Wuying, what brings you here?"
Meeting an old friend in a foreign land, Mingyu, though she had little contact with Wuying, couldn't help but feel a surge of joy upon seeing him in Wei.
Xu Feng was originally Yun Yichen's man, and he and Wu Ying grew up together. When he saw Wu Ying in Wei Kingdom this time, he couldn't help but step forward and give Wu Ying a big hug.
"Good lad, you're much stronger than before!"
As Xu Feng spoke, his voice became choked with emotion.
"You're still the same as before, sentimental and effeminate."
"You're the one who acts like a woman."
Xu Feng knew that Wu Ying, as a bodyguard, couldn't speak, but to say that he was like a woman upon meeting him, especially in front of his wife, made Xu Feng immediately retort.
"Brother Wuying, you must be tired from your journey. Let's go inside first!"
Seeing that the two brothers were about to clash, Mingyu quickly stepped in to smooth things over and led Wuying into the house.
"Why didn't you send Zhong Lin this time, but instead sent you?"
Upon entering the room, Xu Feng immediately adopted a serious expression and asked Wu Ying about the questions that had been on his mind.
Wuying had been running non-stop all day. When Mingyu handed him water, he quickly drank it all in one gulp before replying, "Zhong Lin has taken people to Jin to meet Young Master Xu. My master is worried about this place, so he sent me to help keep an eye on things."
Wuying is considered the captain of this group of young bodyguards and is one of Yun Yichen's most trusted people.
If it weren't for the fact that there was really no manpower, Wuying would never have left his side so easily.
After inquiring about the current situation in Wei, Wuying took out Gu Shuyan's letter and handed it to Mingyu.
"When I arrived at the frontier, I met Gu Jun, who was delivering a letter. Seeing that he was too slow, I brought the letter with me."
Now that Gu Shuyan and Yun Yichen are family, there is no difference between Gu Jun delivering the message and Wu Ying delivering the message. The most important thing is that Wu Ying has better physical fitness and is faster, which is something Gu Jun cannot compare to.
Upon hearing this, Mingyu eagerly opened the message Gu Shuyan had sent her. It clearly stated that the emperor should also be rescued.
Given the current situation in the court, the eldest prince has practically taken control of the entire palace. These people can't even get into the palace, so how can they possibly bring the emperor out?
Of course, Gu Shuyan had also thought of this, so in her letter, Gu Shuyan gave her three strategies. As for the success rate of each of them, Mingyu was skeptical.
"What? Did Miss say something in her letter?"
Xu Feng and Mingyu have been married for so long, so he naturally knows what every expression of Mingyu's represents.
After taking the letter from her and reading it, Xu Feng couldn't help but feel troubled as well.
"The young lady has really given us a difficult problem now."
Before Wuying arrived, Yun Yichen had told him that he was coming to help the two of them and bring Emperor Wei and Crown Prince Wei back safely, so his face didn't show much emotion.
"Before I arrived, Madam had already borrowed manpower from Young Master Gu. If all goes well, our main force will arrive in the capital in seven days. Our mission is to devise a plan before they arrive and successfully bring Emperor Wei and the Crown Prince out."
"The Crown Prince is easy to deal with, but this Emperor Wei..."
Xu Feng simply told Wuying about the inside information they had obtained, including the fact that the emperor was under house arrest.
Wuying had already prepared for the worst, and now that things had indeed developed this way, he couldn't help but feel a heavy weight in his heart.
"No matter what, there's still a tough battle ahead. Tonight, let's not think about anything else and just get a good night's sleep!"
The reason why Wuying was able to reach the capital of Wei so efficiently was because of his terrifying self-control.
Mingyu found him a room, and Wuying fell asleep almost as soon as he got to bed.
Mingyu and Xu Feng couldn't sleep. They read Gu Shuyan's letter again and finally decided to contact Bai Moqin to see if he could do anything.
In the dead of night, Xu Feng, dressed in black, arrived at Bai Moqin's temporary residence. Hiding in a tree, Xu Feng imitated the chirping of a cricket, following the pre-arranged signal.
Before long, Xu Feng saw two figures emerge from the courtyard.
"But is there any news from the Great Zhou?"
Upon hearing that Xu Feng had come looking for her, Bai Moqin knew that news must have come from Yun Yichen's side.
"The young master and young lady have sent a letter asking us to assist in sending His Highness and His Majesty out of the capital. Our people are already on their way, and they will accompany His Highness and His Majesty to the Great Zhou along with His Highness's people."
Bai Moqin hadn't expected Yun Yichen to take the emperor with him. Although she thought the same thing, and was sure to get the same answer from him, Bai Moqin still felt a warmth in her heart.
"Going abroad is not difficult, but now that my father is under house arrest by the eldest prince, I can't even enter the palace, let alone bring someone out under the noses of so many imperial guards."
Bai Moqin had been keeping a close eye on the situation in the palace these past few days. His men had tried every possible method to investigate the various palace gates, but none of them could get into the palace.
In other words, they can't even see the emperor now, so how could they possibly evade the crown prince's men and secretly bring the emperor out?
"My young lady has given me a few ways to get into the palace, but I don't know if they will work."
Seeing that Bai Moqin was also struggling with the same problem, Xu Feng had even less confidence in the method Gu Shuyan had given him.
Unlike Xu Feng, Bai Moqin's eyes lit up immediately when she heard that the method was Gu Shuyan's idea.
