Chapter 923

Chapter 923

At this time, outside the capital city.

Yun Xiyue had not yet arrived in the capital, but she had already received the news.

"Father, you should go back first."

Yunnan Sheng's expression was grave. "I don't know what the situation is like in the capital now. The Eldest Princess has joined forces with Su He, the commander of the Imperial Guards."

Suhe's betrayal was unexpected.

I'm afraid even Murong Yu didn't expect this.

“If Murong Yun takes control of the capital or even the court, it will be very dangerous for us to go back. Especially now that your elder brother has sent word that the Grand Tutor who is in charge of the country and General Xiao have been assassinated and are now seriously injured. General Xiao is a little better off; he is a military officer and escaped a fatal blow.”

However, Grand Tutor Zhou was old and a civil official.

The injuries are said to be very serious.

At this time, the Zhou family was shrouded in a shadow.

Grand Tutor Zhou is on his deathbed. "Yan'er, you must quickly take men to rescue the prince..."

“Grandfather,” Zhou Yan said, his voice choked with emotion.

If he leaves now, I'm afraid I'll never see him again.

"Everyone must die eventually. I've lived long enough. But I won't die in peace if I don't complete the task entrusted to me by the Emperor."

"Yan'er, protect the prince... We can't let the princess succeed. The emperor is fighting on the border, and we are in the rear. We can't let him down. Try not to report to the border right now... Go find Leng Yan, and then meet up with the Empress and escort her back to the capital."

"When the time comes... listen to her."

Grand Tutor Zhou, his hand trembling, pointed to a brocade box, "That was given by the Emperor..."

Before he could finish speaking, the toilet seat came into view.

"grandfather!"

The whole family wept in grief.

Zhou Yan took the brocade box and immediately went to the Leng residence.

......

"Father, you must believe me."

"The Emperor left the Dragon Shadow Guards to protect the child's mother. She'll definitely be fine. You should go back and meet them." Yun Xiyue was unusually calm at this moment.

There was not a trace of panic.

Yunnan Sheng said, "Okay, then I'll go back to Beijing first."

You'd better not reply.

Yun Xiyue thought to herself that she definitely had to go back.

With the two regents in trouble, the court must not be thrown into chaos.

"The news must be kept under wraps and not reach the border, lest it disrupt the morale of the troops."

"Yes, ma'am."

Yunnan Shengqi led a team to the capital at breakneck speed.

The moon over the cloud stream never stopped.

She then arranged for an army to be stationed there, and rode back to the capital herself.

The line stopped in place.

It gives people the illusion that she hasn't left.

Fortunately, she was not far along in her pregnancy, and she had medication to protect her.

She doesn't need to worry about the baby in her belly.

Yun Xiyue was dressed in a black, fitted outfit that accentuated her agile and nimble figure.

Night fell, and only the sound of horses' hooves echoed on the empty road, like a series of drumbeats that pounded on her anxious heart.

Lying on the horse's back, her body rose and fell with the horse's gallop, her hair flying wildly in the wind, a few strands damp with sweat clinging to her cheeks.

The horse's breathing was heavy and rapid. Yun Xiyue would pat its neck from time to time and whisper to soothe it: "Little Black, faster, faster."

She knew all too well that the situation in the capital was in turmoil, and that every second of delay could plunge the situation into utter ruin.
