Chapter 89: Going to Jail
Nie Chubai's words made everyone present twitch their lips.
Wen Yingxue's body was shaking, and she almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
As for the fifth prince, he was choked for a rare moment.
Looking at Nie Chubai, the Fifth Prince smiled coldly and said, "Nie Chubai, are you planning to protect her forever?"
Nie Chubai didn't say anything, but stood in front of Wen Yingxue, motionless.
"Even if you want to protect her, you can't, Eunuch Xu. Tell everyone what father wants to say." The fifth prince said loudly.
Outside the door, an old man who was about fifty years old walked in. He was still neither humble nor arrogant towards the princes.
This Eunuch Xu is the emperor's personal eunuch.
"The Emperor has orally decreed that Wen Shi murdered her mother, a truly heinous crime. She is now imprisoned in the dungeon of the Ministry of Justice. Once the facts are verified, she will be executed immediately."
As soon as the order came out, Nie Chubai's face changed, and it was so gloomy that water could drip out of it. He stared at Eunuch Xu intently. There was no doubt that Eunuch Xu had been turned against him.
Wen Yingxue pulled Nie Chubai's clothes from behind, signaling him to be patient.
The Fifth Prince looked at Nie Chubai's facial expression with great interest. In a very good mood, he said, "General Nie, the imperial decree has been issued. Are you still going to disobey it?"
Above, Zi Su kept staring at the Ninth Prince with pleading in her eyes.
The Ninth Prince pursed his lips, frowned and said nothing.
At this time, Zhang Ge Lao jumped out, saluted the Fifth Prince, and said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Fifth Prince, for seeking justice for my daughter."
The Fifth Prince smiled and said, "Master Zhang, you don't have to be polite. Killing someone means paying with your life. This is an eternal principle. Come, take Wen away."
Nie Chubai's hand was already on the Broken Blade at his waist, while the Eighth Prince was opposite him, staring at Nie Chubai intently with a warning in his eyes.
This time Zi Su could no longer sit still, so she grabbed the Ninth Prince's waist and twisted it hard.
The Ninth Prince gasped, but didn't brush Zi Su's hand away. He said, "Fifth Brother, today is my birthday banquet. Do you have to sentence someone here? And the one you're sentencing is my eldest sister-in-law?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to the Ninth Prince who was sitting in the upper seat.
"Ninth brother, what are you talking about?" asked the fifth prince.
"When did Wen become your sister-in-law?"
The Ninth Prince took Zisu's hand, touched her cheek affectionately, and then said to everyone: "This person will soon be my princess consort. Her name is Nie Zisu, and she is General Nie's sister."
Nie Chubai raised his head, met the Ninth Prince's gaze, and nodded, "Not bad."
The fifth prince frowned. He accepted Zhang Ge Lao's surrender and wanted to help Zhang Ge Lao avenge his daughter's murder.
But now the Ninth Prince has asked to protect Wen Yingxue and is about to marry Nie Chubai's sister. Does that mean that the Ninth Prince has already defected to the Eighth Prince?
"Ninth brother, there's nothing I can do about this. This is the decision of our father. Do you dare to disobey his order?" The fifth prince said calmly.
Regardless of whether the ninth brother has surrendered to the eighth brother or not, as long as he can firmly control his father, he will still be the emperor in the end.
As long as he becomes the emperor, Lao Jiu will let him do whatever he wants.
Once he figured it out, the Fifth Prince became even more unscrupulous. He waved to Eunuch Xu and said, "Take the man away."
Nie Chubai was about to speak when Wen Yingxue gently pushed him away and walked out.
"Xue'er!" Nie Chubai called out, holding Wen Yingxue's hand while holding a signal firework in his hand.
Wen Yingxue knew that the signal firework was a purple skull, which was the highest order of the Shitian Pavilion, calling all the disciples of the Shitian Pavilion to gather.
The Sky-Slaying Pavilion has a bad reputation in the martial arts world. If Nie Chubai is exposed at this time, he will not only have to face the government soldiers, but he will also have to face all kinds of upright people in the martial arts world.
Wen Yingxue smiled at Nie Chubai and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. He's here with me."
Nie Chubai's frown relaxed slightly. He and Wen Yingxue both knew that the "he" was referring to Feng Yi.
Wen Yingxue didn't think she would die in prison this time, because she knew that as long as her father was there, he would protect her no matter what happened.
This is the absolute sense of security engraved in her bones.
"Take good care of yourself." Nie Chubai nodded and let go of Wen Yingxue's hand.
Eunuch Xu came over immediately and took Wen Yingxue away.
The fifth prince looked at Nie Chubai and the eighth prince, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
"Haha, great! Fifth brother, you are going to step on my face. It's really unlucky. You have ruined the mood of my birthday party." The ninth prince looked at the fifth prince with a gloomy face.
Although he didn't like being the emperor, he didn't want anyone to challenge his authority in his territory.
"Forget it then. Looking at you guys makes me unable to eat. My stomach will hurt after eating, and I will have to go get medicine. It's a waste." After the Ninth Prince finished speaking, he stood up and pulled Zi Sujiu away.
The steward of the Ninth Prince's Mansion has already started to drive people away.
At night, taking advantage of the darkness, Nie Chubai shook off the few little followers behind him and went to the Eighth Prince's Mansion.
An Wenyuan and Hao Wanlin were already waiting there.
The Eighth Prince saw Nie Chubai and said, "I just discussed with An Wenyuan that the date can be moved up, but it has to be three days later. Can you protect your wife within these three days?"
An Wenyuan also said, "Three days from now is the maximum deadline we can advance. We can't go any further."
The Eighth Prince and An Wenyuan both knew that Nie Chubai loved his wife dearly, so they started discussing it as soon as they came back.
But the date can only be advanced to three days later.
Nie Chubai said: "How can she be fine? Tell me about your plan."
The Eighth Prince nodded, then said to Hao Wanlin, "Tell me about your deployment."
The three of them turned their eyes to Hao Wanlin. Hao Wanlin nodded seriously, changing his previous silly image and squinting his eyes to look at the map of the palace.
Hao Wanlin said, "In three days, the 30,000 elite soldiers sent by the General of the Cavalry will arrive outside the imperial city quietly. I will lead them from outside the city, and you will support us from inside the city to break through the city gate.
after……"
If Wen Yingxue were here, she would be so shocked that her eyes would pop out of her head when she saw Hao Wanlin now.
Even though Nie Chubai had witnessed Hao Wanlin's transformation so many times, he was still not used to it.
The three listened carefully to Hao Wanlin's deployment of troops, and discussed from time to time. They talked until late at night, trying to perfect every detail of the deployment.
"Chubai, don't be anxious, take it step by step. Yingxue is my sister-in-law after all, and I will send someone to protect her." Finally, the Eighth Prince comforted Nie Chubai.
There are too many unstable factors in Nie Chubai, and the Eighth Prince has witnessed his madness.
If something really happened to Wen Yingxue, Nie Chubai would definitely become a mad beast that broke out of its cage and bit whoever it caught.
Nie Chubai took a deep breath and nodded.
