Chapter 902 Past Life 10
"Didn't he die a long time ago? How could that be? Did you see clearly?"
Because of his irritability, Lu Youming spoke with a hint of hostility.
"I made a point of getting closer to take a look. Although the leader looked unfamiliar, the person next to him was indeed Yun Yichen's bodyguard, Zhong Lin."
The guard's words made Lu Youming take a step back, then his face hardened. "Gather all our men and protect the palace."
At this point, it was clearly impossible for them to rush towards the city gate. Therefore, the palace had to be defended no matter what.
The guards left quickly upon receiving the order, and Lu Youming led everyone outside. After everyone mounted their horses, he didn't forget to arrange for someone to fetch Yan Meier.
As the most alluring concubine, Lu Youming thought that even if he couldn't turn the tide and stop Yun Yichen today, he would still have Yan Meier by his side to die with him.
Yan Meier sensed something was wrong when Lu Youming got up. She asked her maid to come out and listen. She learned that it was the traitor Yun Yichen who had returned. Yan Meier's heart suddenly started pounding.
"Go and pack all my silver. If anything goes wrong, we'll leave immediately."
Yan Meier married two men in succession. When the Gu family was in trouble, she ran away without hesitation. Now that the Crown Prince might also be in trouble, how could Yan Meier share joys and sorrows with Lu Youming?
The maidservant went to prepare with practiced ease, but when she came out after packing all the valuables, Yan Meier was nowhere to be seen in the room.
"Where are you taking me?"
Yan Meier was dragged out of the door by the servant, and seeing that they were heading towards the Crown Prince's residence, she immediately became anxious.
"Didn't I just tell the concubine? It's His Highness the Crown Prince who wants to see you."
Although the servant was pulling Yan Meier, his voice was somewhat respectful because of her status.
"Nonsense, His Highness is in the Crown Prince's residence, how could he allow me to go outside to see him?"
Seeing this, Yan Meier's unease intensified, and the feeling of fear was very similar to the feeling she had before the Gu family was about to encounter trouble.
"His Highness has gone to the palace and specifically asked us to bring his concubine there," the servant replied appropriately.
However, compared to the people in front of her, Yan Meier trusted her intuition more.
So she struggled even more fiercely, "Let me go! Let me go! I am the Crown Prince's concubine! How dare you treat me like this? I will kill you all!"
The two servants knew they couldn't explain it to Yan Meier, so they could only let her struggle and drag them out the door.
Whether it was because Yan Meier struggled too much or the poison in her body took effect, as she stepped out of the Crown Prince's residence, her eyes rolled back and she collapsed.
The servant naturally didn't think Yan Meier was in any danger. He knew that she had been struggling just now and still had a lot of strength, but suddenly she went limp. It was obvious that she was pretending because she didn't want to leave!
"What should we do? Should we take it with us?"
One servant asked the other, who then glanced at Yan Meier and said, "Of course we'll take her away. Do you want to be scolded by His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Compared to being scolded by the Crown Prince, what's the big deal if a concubine pretends to faint?
So the two of them put the unconscious Yan Meier into the carriage and hurried to the palace.
Meanwhile, Gu Yingxue was also awakened by the commotion outside. She asked Chunxiang to come out and inquire, and the news she received was that the Crown Prince had led a group of people to the palace to protect the emperor.
Although I didn't know Yun Yichen had broken in, since it was to protect the emperor, it must be a big deal.
Gu Yingxue slowly stood up, looked at her protruding belly, and suddenly her eyes curved into a smile.
"How are the Crown Princess and Yan Meier?"
Since the Crown Princess entered the family, Gu Yingxue has served her with great courtesy, so the Crown Princess has not caused her any trouble.
In addition, she was pregnant, and in the past few months, she had not visited the Crown Prince even once.
Compared to Yan Meier, who was favored in the mansion, the Crown Princess would naturally not focus her attention on her. On the contrary, she would go to pay her respects to the Crown Princess every few days, with the purpose of giving the Crown Princess a sterilization drug.
Chunxiang knew that Gu Yingxue would ask this question, so she quickly told Gu Yingxue the news she had just received.
Upon learning that Yan Meier had been taken away, she felt even more reassured.
"It seems something terrible has happened tonight. Lu Youming is most reluctant to part with Yan Meier, and now he even takes her with him to the palace. He's prepared for the worst!"
Having followed Lu Youming for years and helped him deal with so many people, Gu Yingxue is no longer the pampered young lady raised by the Gu family.
Furthermore, she had a thorough understanding of Lu Youming's personality, so she could naturally guess his specific plans.
"Chunxiang, pack our things. It's time for us to go into hiding."
After Gu Yingxue finished speaking, Chunxiang asked in confusion, "Where is Miss planning to go?"
“Of course I should go back to my parents’ home. In the current situation, it is certainly not safe to stay in the Crown Prince’s residence. If everything is fine after we go back to my parents’ home, we can say that I went back to my mother’s home because I had a miscarriage. But if he doesn’t come back, then the baby in my belly will be the only bloodline of the royal family.”
When Gu Yingxue said this, she had a strange smile on her face. Chunxiang naturally knew the origin of this child, but seeing Gu Yingxue like this, she couldn't help but shiver.
The master and servant quickly packed their things and secretly ran out of the Crown Prince's residence without alerting anyone.
As they walked towards the Li family's residence, the closer they got to that location, the more they could hear the sounds of fighting.
Although Gu Yingxue had a feeling that something serious had happened, the sounds of fighting still frightened her.
When Chunxiang heard those sounds, her hands trembled uncontrollably. She looked around nervously, afraid that someone would suddenly appear and stop them.
Fortunately, things were in such chaos outside that no one on their side would notice.
After knocking on the Li family's door, Gu Yingxue and Chunxiang were finally able to relax completely once they entered.
"Daughter, why are you home so late? What happened outside? Why was there such a commotion?"
When Li's mother came out, she immediately pulled Gu Yingxue into the house and hurriedly asked about the current situation.
Gu Yingxue wasn't very clear about the matter either; she had only told them that the Crown Prince had gone to the palace. Upon hearing that even the Crown Prince had gone to the palace, the whole family became extremely nervous.
"His Highness the Crown Prince has gone to the palace! I hope nothing bad has happened."
Li's mother hurriedly inquired, and Gu Yingxue thought to herself: Of course, something must have happened!
On the surface, Gu Yingxue comforted Li's mother, telling her not to worry.
After hearing Gu Yingxue's words, Li's mother felt somewhat relieved, but for some reason, she still felt uneasy, as if there was something on her mind.
"Mother, please rest assured. His Highness and His Majesty are both in the palace. If anything were to happen, would I still be able to return?"
Gu Yingxue noticed Li's mother's anxiety and said a few more words.
