"Hehe." Xuanya laughed, "I heard that there's already a fight?"
"kindness."
Xuanya sighed, "As for me, I didn't plan to wade into this muddy water originally. This battle is not fun. If it happens to Chi Yu, I will be considered to be on the same side as you, and I might die miserably. ah."
"To make a long story short." Yu Qingluo was impatient. Why does this damn woman talk so much nonsense
Xuanya snorted, "I know that the Seventh Prince's people have surrounded the imperial capital now. We are trapped in this place now and cannot get out. Sooner or later we will be trapped to death. Although we can delay the arrival of reinforcements, we can't. Who knows if they will get in here, we are also in danger, right?"
Yu Qingluo narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Why do I hear what you mean? It seems that my prince will lose."
"Uh... No, no, I definitely didn't mean that." Xuanya waved her hands quickly, took a small step back, and said with a smile, "Didn't I say just in case? This is just the worst plan. We have to consider multiple aspects of everything. Sex, I know you trust your prince very much, but we have such good resources now, so we don’t need to use them in vain, right?"
"Resources? You mean Concubine Meng?"
Xuanya immediately nodded vigorously and nodded again, "I heard that the seventh prince attaches great importance to Concubine Meng, right? Then we can tie her up and go to the city gate to ask the seventh prince to retreat, otherwise we will push Concubine Meng down. The seventh prince is so filial. People will never violate their filial piety, as this will be despised by others. As soon as he retreats, we will have more time to wait for reinforcements. "
Yu Qingluo almost wanted to laugh, "Xuanya, are you out of your mind? Concubine Meng is also Ye Xiudu's mother-in-law, okay? You want him to attack his mother-in-law?"
"Oh, please stop talking about this. I don't know if Ye Xiudu is her biological son, but you always know, right?" Xuanya looked like I really look down on you for pretending to be stupid at this time.
Yu Qingluo really wanted to slap her, so he slapped her hard on the shoulder, "Xuanya, are you trying to catch up on your brain these two days? Yes, Ye Xiudu and Concubine Meng are indeed not biological mothers and children. , it is not impossible to kill. But very few people know these things. The world still thinks that Concubine Meng is Ye Xiudu’s mother-concubine. You want Ye Xiudu to use Concubine Meng in front of everyone. Threatening the seventh prince's life? How do you think others will evaluate Ye Xiudu? How will they evaluate the seventh prince?"
"..." Xuanya was choked and suddenly speechless.
Yes, she only considered that Concubine Meng was not Ye Xiudu's biological mother anyway, so it wouldn't matter much if she died, but she forgot about the twists and turns involved.
If Ye Xiudu really does what she said, then those soldiers will probably become cold-hearted towards Ye Xiudu. If they think he is the kind of person who is unfaithful, unjust, benevolent and unfilial, they may all turn against him. .
On the contrary, if the Seventh Prince retreated to save Concubine Meng, it would really be what people want.
Well, the problem is that the relationship between Concubine Meng and Ye Xiudu cannot be announced to the world. This is a scandal for the royal family. If the scandal of the Mongolian people is spread, it will still be detrimental to Ye Xiudu.
So annoying, so annoying.
Xuanya couldn't help but ask, "What should we do? If Concubine Meng is captured by us, she can't do anything? You wouldn't arrest her just to starve her, right?"
"Of course I have my purpose in catching her." Yu Qingluo narrowed her eyes and sneered.
In the next few days, the fighting became more and more brutal.
Whether it was the people on Ye Xiudu's side or the Seventh Prince's side, they pressed forward step by step without giving in.
Fortunately, the imperial capital always held firm and was not attacked by the enemy through the city gates.
Yu Qingluo is also a little curious. There are obviously so many people in the Seventh Prince, but why has there been no progress at all
But the soldiers in Ye Xiu's single hand... strangely seemed to be increasing bit by bit.
It was at this juncture that the emperor, who had not shown up for a long time due to illness, suddenly began to go to court and denounced the wolfish ambitions of the fourth and seventh princes in the court, and hated Concubine Meng for her ruthlessness.
He claimed that the seventh prince and the fourth prince had rebelled and had colluded with General Mou of Xi Daying. He sent Ye Xiu alone to lead the troops to suppress the rebellion. The eldest prince and the sixth prince assisted from the side and captured the rebels. If the Seventh Prince and others resist, they can be shot on the spot and executed on the spot.
For a time, those ministers who were a little nervous because the emperor did not show up and Ye Xiudu was fighting with the seventh prince began to gradually calm down. Among them, the fourth prince and the ministers of the seventh prince faction had been eliminated one by one by Ye Xiu during this period. The rest are the people on Ye Xiudu's side, or those who maintain a neutral attitude, and the emperor's confidants.
Now that the emperor said this, they had no choice but to believe in Ye Xiudu.
The people who were originally panic-stricken were still frightened after so many days, but they finally calmed down a lot under the comfort of the officials led by Right Prime Minister Li Fan.
At the very least, there is no chaos in the imperial capital at the moment, and no unscrupulous things such as raising rice prices have occurred. Everything is waiting for Ye Xiudu's ability.
Ye Xiudu went out early and came back late all day, and sometimes he never even came back.
Prince Xiu's Mansion was very calm, so calm... that Yu Qing dropped her eyes and jumped.
Yu Bao'er and Shen Ying's condition gradually improved. Although Nan Nan and Ye Lansheng felt the heavy atmosphere, they kept themselves in check and spent most of the time by Yu Bao'er's side, talking to him. .
However, Nannan began to become suspicious after sensing the strange behavior of Meng Ziqian and Xuanya that day, and paid more and more attention to the small room in the back garden.
He had some feeling and could guess some.
He felt that maybe Concubine Meng was locked up there. After all, he knew that Yu Qingluo had sent people to capture Concubine Meng. It's just that he felt that such an important person should not be placed in Prince Xiu's Mansion.
Until this morning, when I passed the small courtyard, I saw Master Tu playing chess there, so I pretended to get closer.
Master Tu didn't care about him. Yu Qingluo had said that it didn't matter whether Nannan knew about Concubine Meng's existence or not. Anyway, with his temperament, he would find out sooner or later.
It seemed that Miss Yu's guess was not wrong, and Nannan came to confirm it.
Not long after, Concubine Meng's curses came from inside, and Nannan could hear it clearly.
The corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, did my mother really bring him back to Prince Xiu's Mansion
He turned around and saw Master Tu looking at him with a half-smile, and immediately looked up at the sky with a dry laugh, "I didn't hear anything. Okay, I'm going to go find Xiao Shengsheng for dinner. Goodbye Master Tu."
As soon as he finished speaking, he ran towards Ye Lansheng's yard.
However…
no one? Nannan looked at the empty room in surprise. Xiao Shengsheng had always been waiting for him in the room to have dinner and visit Uncle Bao'er. Why was there no one there today
