589 Entering the Palace (1)

The carriage sped past Chang’an Avenue. Mo Yuan was driving the carriage.

Shen Yijia had thought about it. The old prince was so afraid of death. It was definitely impossible for him to try to a.s.sa.s.sinate the emperor.

However, the news You Yi heard couldn’t be fake. The old prince had a.s.sa.s.sinated the emperor, so what could Song Jingchen get from bringing him into the palace?

There were two possibilities now. One was that the emperor had directed this situation. As the truth of the kidnapping case was revealed and Song Jingchen was no longer useful, the emperor could kick him to the curb since he had outlived his usefulness.

As for the old prince, he deserved to die for what he had done. The emperor might as well make a fake a.s.sa.s.sination attempt to kill two birds with one stone.

The second possibility was that Lord Jing had learned of the news in advance and attacked the emperor. They were just waiting for Song Jingchen and the old prince to enter the palace to blame them.

If it was the first point…

Shen Yijia pinched the dagger hidden in her sleeve, and a murderous look appeared in her eyes. If it was really planned by the accursed emperor, she would simply confirm this crime and stab him. At most, she would escape with her beautiful husband and family in the future.

When Xuanyuan Ziming left, he had invited her to the Xuanyuan Kingdom to play. They could go to the Xuanyuan Kingdom and gain the trust of the emperor of the Xuanyuan Kingdom to bring their troops back.

Weren’t all the generals in the novels like this? After leaving their hometown, they were recognized by monarchs in a different nation and came back for revenge.

If it was the second point, the emperor should really be injured at this moment.

That would be easier. She would bring Mo Yuan to wake the useless emperor up, and Lord Jing’s scheme would fail.

While she was thinking, the carriage suddenly stopped. Shen Yijia almost rolled out.

She quickly grabbed the carriage wall to stabilize herself. Through the fluttering curtain, she could see a carriage blocking their way.

Shen Yijia frowned. Before she could speak, the curtain of the carriage opposite her was lifted, revealing Xuanyuan Ce’s beautiful face. It was a little dark.

Xuanyuan Ce spoke first. “Where are you going?”

He asked matter-of-factly. Shen Yijia felt puzzled, but when she thought about how this person had helped her many times, she still said concisely, “Into the palace and look for my husband.”

Xuanyuan Ce choked. Of course he knew this. In fact, he was here to stop them.

However, when he met Shen Yijia’s eyes, Xuanyuan Ce opened his mouth a few times and wanted to dissuade her. In the end, he sighed. “Get in the carriage.”

Shen Yijia said, “No, I…”

“Do you think you can enter the palace by yourself?” Xuanyuan Ce knew that she had misunderstood and interrupted her angrily.

Before he could acknowledge her, his daughter had completely become someone else’s.

Shen Yijia was stunned and slapped her forehead. She had thought of everything, but she did not consider the most basic point. Without a token, she could not enter the palace.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the palace. Xuanyuan Ce had a temporary token given by the emperor. Usually, the imperial guards guarding the door would let him pa.s.s when they saw the token, but this time, they did not.

The leader of the imperial guards cupped his hands and said, “Lord Jing’an, please forgive me. Lord Jing has ordered that no one is allowed to enter or leave the palace today.”

Shen Yijia’s heart skipped a beat. It seemed that this was her second guess. Even the imperial guards listened to his orders. Perhaps the situation was more serious than she thought.

Xuanyuan Ce sneered. “Oh? When did Great Xia change its emperor?”

How could he dare to say this? The leader of the imperial guards said vaguely, “We’re just following orders.”

Not to mention that the news of the emperor’s a.s.sa.s.sination had yet to spread, even if it did, he would not tell Xuanyuan Ce first. What if he felt that this was an opportunity and sent a message back? What if the Xuanyuan Kingdom took the opportunity to send troops to attack Great Xia?

It had to be said that this leader of the imperial guards was thinking too much. If the Xuanyuan Kingdom really wanted to attack Great Xia, how could an emperor stop them?

Xuanyuan Ce knocked lightly on the carriage wall. Chu Feng immediately reprimanded, “How dare you? Is my lord an ordinary person? You didn’t even inform him and said that there was an order from above. Could this order be directed at my lord? Is this how Great Xia treats its guests?”

It was clearly a small matter, but he directly linked it to a friends.h.i.+p between the two countries. The leader of the imperial guards knew that this could not be easily dismissed. He thought for a moment and said that he could only ask for instructions.

“Then hurry up and go.” Chu Feng was as arrogant as a tyrant.

The leader of the imperial guards was unhappy, but he was not stupid. If his master had not spoken, how could a subordinate dare to do this? He had his master backing him up, so no matter how unhappy he was, he could only endure his grievances and make a trip personally.
