Xie Jin entered through the back door of Zui Xiang Lou.
General Li Zheng, who had been guarding the back door, immediately walked over and said, "Prince Jin."
Xie Jin raised his eyebrows and glanced around the back door calmly. Apart from General Li Zheng, there was no one else guarding here.
Xie Jin: "Why is the general here?"
Sensing the wariness in the eyes of the Fourth Prince of Li, General Li Zheng pursed his lips and replied calmly, "The Princess asked me to wait here for Prince Jin to come over."
He didn't say another word. In fact, Princess Yan's original words were -
She must see Prince Jin today. If Prince Jin does not come, she will ask him to go to the Fourth Prince's mansion in person and bring Prince Jin over.
Li Zheng's original plan was to give Prince Jin half an hour. If Prince Jin did not show up after half an hour, he would follow the eldest princess's instructions and go to the Fourth Prince's mansion to look for someone.
Fortunately, Prince Jin really came.
Li Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. "The princess is waiting in the Tianzi room on the third floor. Prince Jin, please—"
"understood."
Xie Jin said this in a light tone, then raised his foot and walked forward.
On weekdays, the lobby of Zui Xiang Lou is the busiest place, with many guests coming to dine and drink.
But when he saw it today, Xie Jin found that the lobby of Zui Xiang Lou was empty, without any guests, and the front door had been closed.
After thinking about it, Xie Jin guessed the reason. He didn't know that the eldest princess of Yan State had actually booked the entire Zui Xiang Lou.
Xie Jin went up to the third floor calmly and knocked on the door of the Tianzi Room without panic.
Suddenly, the voice of the Princess of Yan State rang out in the room: "Who?"
Xie Jin: “It’s me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the Tianzi room was opened from the inside.
Xie Jin raised his eyes and saw that the person standing at the door was the Princess of Yan.
Yan Ji stared at Xie Jin coldly for a moment, then suddenly sneered, "I never thought that after waiting for so long, I finally got Prince Jin here!"
"Prince Jin, do you think that after today, everything will go as planned, and you don't intend to acknowledge me as your partner?"
"What does Princess Yan mean by this?"
Xie Jin simply ignored the sarcasm in Princess Yan's words. He glanced around the room and found that there was no one else except Princess Yan.
Xie Jin slowly retracted his gaze, hiding the impatience in his eyes, and said to the Princess of Yan: "I wonder if Princess Yan has anything else to discuss with me?"
"How about Princess Yan step aside first and let me go in before we talk?"
Yan Ji: “…”
Yan Ji suddenly felt like she had punched into cotton, and the anger choked in her throat, which she could neither swallow nor spit out.
Thanks Jin!
Did Xie Jin really think that Yan Ji was someone who was easy to bully?
But when she thought of the imprisoned secret agents of the State of Yan and the letters sent by her royal brother at full speed, the anger in Yan Ji's heart gradually subsided. She took a deep breath, turned around with a cold face, and went back to the table.
Xie Jin followed him in and closed the door.
He sat down at the table, picked up the teapot on the table, picked up the teacup, and slowly poured himself a cup of tea.
"Princess Yan, why do you have to see me?"
After saying this, Princess Yan said in a cold voice: "Today at noon, all the secret agents of Yan State will be beheaded in public. Does Prince Jin know about this?"
"know."
Xie Jin nodded, and instantly knew what Princess Yan would say next: "If Princess Yan wants me to rescue those people, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
He had long guessed that Princess Yan Chang had to see him just for this matter.
"so what!?"
Yan Ji's eyes widened and she asked coldly, "Does Prince Jin want to watch me die without helping me?"
Xie Jin: "Of course not."
Yan Ji said in an almost commanding tone: "If not, then rescue them all!"
Those secret agents were loyal to the emperor and the State of Yan. They had sent back a lot of useful information to the State of Yan. Two of them were members of the royal family of Yan. Princess Yan naturally did not want to see them beheaded in public, which would damage the reputation of the State of Yan!
"Now, this princess has done everything she can to send the person you want here. Everyone is waiting for your order to act. Since your great cause is about to be completed, why don't you take that person down as soon as possible!?"
"As long as you become the new emperor of Li, and grant amnesty to the world, anyone this princess wants will be able to save their lives and come out safely!"
"Xie Jin, things have come to this point, just one step away! Just one step away! Xie Jin! Don't you dare to——rebel!? "
Yan Ji heavily suppressed the word "treason", using only a whisper so that both she and he could hear it clearly.
Xie Jin stood up suddenly. He looked sullen and looked at the Princess of Yan with a cold look in his eyes: "Shut up!"
He actually dared to yell at her! ?
Yan Ji was immediately annoyed, and her tone became cold and hard: "Either save the people, or send the food to Yan State immediately, choose one of the two, Xie Jin, it's up to you!"
"Otherwise, I really can't say for sure whether the Yan army will obey your orders!"
"you--"
She was threatening him!
But Xie Jin really didn't dare to turn against Yan Ji at this time.
"Okay, I choose to save people."
Xie Jin gritted his teeth and said, "This prince will not let anything happen to them."
Seeing that Prince Jin was the first to give in, Yan Ji immediately smiled with satisfaction: "Then this princess will wait here for good news from Prince Jin."
After that, Yan Ji took out a purple jade pendant from her sleeve, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Xie Jin: "This jade pendant can make all the secret agents imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice prison obey you temporarily. If necessary, the Ministry of Justice prison can be in chaos first."
Xie Jin lowered his eyes to take a look, then reached out to put away the purple jade pendant: "If Princess Yan has nothing else to say, I will go back first."
Yan Ji: "Nothing else, I hope Prince Jin will keep his promise."
"nature."
Xie Jin stood up and left calmly.
After leaving the Tianzi Room, Xie Jin's face suddenly darkened and his whole body exuded a coldness.
He walked towards the back door of Zui Xiang Lou and saw General Li Zheng again. Xie Jin stopped and looked up at General Li Zheng: "Princess Yan is still in Tianzi Hall, so there is no need for you to see her off."
Li Zheng nodded silently, turned around and walked towards the lobby.
Xie Jin left from the back door and just got on the carriage, he saw Wen Kang already sitting inside.
"Master, I have already met Prince Su, and Prince Su has given instructions..."
Fearing that the coachman outside might hear him, Wen Kang came closer and whispered in his master's ear: "Prince Su has made all preparations. The Yan troops hiding in the private residence are not abnormal and can act at any time."
"Prince Su also said that the master can enter the palace first. Prince Su will cooperate with the master outside the palace. The master can rest assured..."
At the end of his speech, Wen Kang's voice became lower and lower.
Wen Kang didn't know why things had developed to this point, nor did he know why his master insisted on cooperating with Prince Su.
In his opinion, his master is the fourth prince and his brother is the crown prince. Even if the crown prince becomes the new emperor of Li in the future, he will not make things difficult for his master.
On the contrary, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gentle in his actions and must be too lenient towards his younger brother. Why does his master have to compete with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for that position?
For a moment, Wen Kang couldn't understand.
But he still completed all the orders given by his master.
His life originally belonged to his master. Since his master insisted on fighting for that position, he could only sacrifice his life to accompany his master!
"This prince will enter the palace now."
There is not much time left until noon.
Xie Jin planned to fight a quick battle and make a quick decision, so as to catch his father and second brother off guard, which would be beneficial to his plan.
He was already fantasizing about the moment when he would ascend the throne.
After today, he will become the emperor of Li Kingdom!
"Wenkang, after this prince enters the palace, you will take the jade pendant to the Ministry of Justice prison."
As he spoke, Xie Jin handed the purple jade pendant to Wen Kang: "No need to say anything, just show them the jade pendant, they will know what to do."
Wen Kang nodded solemnly and said, "Master, rest assured, I will definitely complete your instructions!"
Xie Jin: "Okay, you go down first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Kang jumped off the carriage.
Then, Xie Jin opened the carriage curtain and said to the coachman, "Enter the palace."
"Yes!"
The driver responded simply and drove the horse towards the palace.
Wen Kang stood there, watching the carriage gradually go away, then turned around and went to the Ministry of Justice prison.
-
On the other side, Prince Su’s Mansion.
Upon learning that Xie Jin had entered the palace, Prince Su planned to go to the private residence in person to gather all the Yan troops first. As soon as Xie Jin gave the signal, he would immediately lead the Yan troops into the palace and force the emperor to abdicate!
However, Prince Su never imagined that his lair had already been completely raided by Xie Xi and his men, and they even dared to ambush his men and trap him!
Seeing the Crown Prince standing in front of him, and then looking at the people he brought with him all being pressed to the ground, Prince Su's face changed slightly, looking at Xie Xi in disbelief, gritting his teeth and said: "You - how did you know this!?"
Despite all his precautions, Xie Xi still found the location of the Yan army!
Now that Xie Xi had discovered those Yan troops, it was equivalent to Xie Xi having ironclad evidence of his secret dealings with the State of Yan. Not to mention, there were many private residences that contained many letters sent by the Emperor of Yan...
It's over, it's over!
He had worked hard for so many years, trying his best to get the position that originally belonged to him, but in the end -
In the end, it was all in vain!
There was a hint of despair in Prince Su's eyes.
"What can I know?"
Xie Xi sneered, staring down at Prince Su who was lying on the ground, and said slowly: "How could I know that Uncle Su secretly brought the Yan army into Shengjing? Or, how could I know that Uncle Su was planning to join forces with the fourth brother to rebel today?"
After dealing with the Yan troops hiding in the private residence, Xie Xi still stayed in the private residence just to wait for Prince Su.
Just as Xie Xi expected, Prince Su really came in person.
Xie Xi: "Uncle Su is very shrewd and calculating. You are really good at calculating!"
Xie Xi did not reveal in front of everyone that Xie Jin was Uncle Su's biological son.
Prince Su's crime of bribing the midwife and stealing the imperial sister can only be dealt with by my father.
Upon hearing this, Prince Su immediately retorted angrily: "What do you know! The throne should have belonged to me! It was him, he stole the throne from me!"
Xie Xi lowered his head and brushed his sleeves, then said calmly, "If Uncle Su insists on living in his own fantasy, I don't want to say anything more. Come, take Uncle Su to the carriage and bring him to the palace."
"How dare you! Xie Xi, I am your uncle, how dare you be rude to me!"
Seeing his hands being held behind his back by the guards, Prince Su was so angry that he yelled at Xie Xi: "You are not worthy of being the crown prince! You are a disaster! You should not live! I hate you so much, I should have killed you myself! You will die without a burial place!"
"Xie Xi, you deserve to die! You deserve to die!"
Seeing Prince Su's almost crazy appearance, Xie Xi pursed his lips tightly and remained silent for a moment before speaking: "When I fell into the water, were you the one who attacked me in secret?"
He was only five years old at that time, and he often stayed in his father's imperial study for several hours. Almost every time, he would rush to Feng'an Palace in the half hour before the palace gates were locked.
Until one day, when Xie Xi was reviewing his lessons, he forgot the time and took a shortcut back to Feng'an Palace.
There was a lake beside the path. He had been very careful as he passed by it, but something hit his leg. He was caught off guard and fell into the lake accidentally...
If it weren't for the palace maids and eunuchs sent by the queen mother who had been looking for him, discovered him in time, and rescued him, he would have really died in the lake that year.
Xie Xi always remembered this incident.
He knew someone wanted to harm him, but when he was rescued from the lake, he caught a cold and had a high fever. When he woke up two days later, he went to the lake, but he couldn't find any clues.
If it weren't for the fact that Uncle Su wanted him dead all along, Xie Xi wouldn't have associated that incident with Uncle Su.
After all, in the previous years, Uncle Su hid himself too well and behaved too gentle and tactful in front of his father and mother.
"Ah"
Hearing Xie Xi suddenly bring up this matter, Prince Su suddenly sneered, and said with emotion: "Yes, I was too soft-hearted at the time, so I sent a loser to kill you. If I had done it myself, Xie Xi, you would not be alive today!"
"Speaking of which, shouldn't you thank me for not killing you?"
When these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.
They had seen shameless people, but they had never seen anyone as shameless as Prince Su!
Many of the secret guards glared at Prince Su with anger on their faces.
If they hadn't taken Prince Su's identity into consideration, they would really want to rush over and beat him up.
Only Xie Xi did not show any anger on his face. He was very calm and said slowly, "Uncle Su, please let Uncle Su and Father talk about the rest."
"Take him away."
