Chapter 126: Can’t just sit there and wait for death

Hearing a slight sound of landing behind her, Jiang Shuyue turned around and saw Gao Mu and Cang Yun bowing.

"Miss, the prince's people and the Jinyiwei have already started fighting."

"How many Jinyiwei are there?"

Jiang Shuyue's heart tightened.

The Jinyiwei in the hands of the emperor were formally trained and selected from many soldiers. Most of the people brought by Xiao Jingzhao were former refugees.

In short, it was an amateur team meeting a professional team, fighting face to face, and the chances of winning were still unknown.

"I learned that there are not many Jinyiwei in the palace, about a thousand people."

Before Jiang Shuyue's heart fell, Gao Mu said again: "There are more than 20,000 people in the Western Suburbs Camp, and I don't know how many Jinyiwei people there are."

"Two, more than 20,000 people?"

Jiang Shuyue took a breath.

"Miss, are you worried about the prince?" Cang Yun saw Jiang Shuyue staring at him in disbelief, and he asked with a smile.

"Why should I worry about him? I sympathize with those unarmed people who lost their lives in vain." Jiang Shuyue said lightly, but her heart was actually in a knot.

He is her son's father, and he cannot lose. With him protecting her son, she can let go of her worries.

She can't just sit and wait for death, she should do something.

Gao Mu glared at Cang Yun, "Don't talk nonsense, the prince never does anything unprepared. The people who fought against the Jinyiwei just now were all extraordinary soldiers. The people the prince brought far exceeded the people in the Western Suburbs Camp. The prince will win."

He said to Jiang Shuyue again: "All the soldiers have weapons in their hands, not unarmed."

Jiang Shuyue thought for a moment, at this time, the civil and military ministers were at home, and there were probably very few people who could go to the palace to support.

"You two come with me."

"Miss, don't! Swords have no eyes. The prince deliberately sent the common people away in advance to protect everyone. What if you get hurt when you go?" Cang Yun's face changed drastically and he hurriedly stopped her.

"Cang Yun is right. The two sides are fighting fiercely at this time. Miss is waiting for good news from the prince in the mansion. I will go to find out the situation of the battle." Gao Mu said as he pretended to jump onto the wall again.

Jiang Shuyue grabbed his arm and said, "Aren't you going to the palace gate? Take me to the residence of Lord Du, the Minister of the Dali Temple."

"What do you want to do with the Minister of the Dali Temple? They are all the emperor's henchmen."

"At this time, the civil and military officials dare not approach the palace. The court ministers will definitely gather together to think of countermeasures and analyze the current situation."

"Miss's analysis is not unreasonable, but if you go, those people may not listen to your good advice." Gao Mu was also worried.

"Let's try. It's better than doing nothing."

"Miss, don't leave the house. Gao Mu and I can go to support the prince." Cang Yun knew clearly that although the prince gave him and Gao Mu to the girl, if the girl and the young master had any mishap, the prince would hold them responsible.

"In front of thousands of troops, the two of you going to support is just a drop in the bucket. Don't talk nonsense, follow me to the Du Mansion." Jiang Shuyue interrupted Cang Yun and walked quickly to the corner gate.

The Du Mansion was not far from the Jiang Mansion. After leaving the corner gate, the three of them took the alleys.

There was no one in the streets and alleys, and there were faint sounds of fighting from the east.

Occasionally, when passing by a house, there was a cry of a child in the house.

Arriving at the Du Mansion, Gao Mu went forward and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

The doorman asked from the door.

"It's me, Jiang Shuyue. May I ask if Miss Du has gone to bed?"

"Oh! I know. She's the female doctor at Jishitang." The doorman said as he opened the door beside him.

"Miss Jiang, please come in. Miss Du just came to the hall for a walk and has returned to the backyard now."

The three of them entered the door. The doorman looked out nervously and hurriedly closed the door again.

"A lot of people came to the mansion tonight, right?"

"How did you know?" The doorman realized that he had said the wrong thing after he finished speaking.

He hurriedly added, "All the people who came are from the Du family. I heard that the palace was surrounded by the people of the Prince of Yannan. Everyone was afraid, so they came to the mansion to be brave together."

"You can hear the roar of killing from a long distance away. It's quite scary. Look, I'm here to seek refuge with Miss Du." Jiang Shuyue's voice had just fallen when there was another knock on the door.

A maid came forward to take Jiang Shuyue to see Miss Du.

Hearing the knock on the door, Jiang Shuyue deliberately slowed down her pace.

The door opened again, and Jiang Shuyue's eyes lit up.

"Master Zhen!"

"Miss Jiang!"

Seeing Zhen Jingxiu's puzzled eyes, Jiang Shuyue smiled lightly, "I'm here to see Miss Du."

Zhen Jingxiu nodded slightly. He couldn't say that Lord Du invited his grandfather to the mansion to discuss the current situation, and his grandfather couldn't refuse, so he just sent him to show his face.

The servant led Gao Mu, Cang Yun and Zhen Jingxiu's servant to the side hall.

The two walked towards the hanging flower gate at the same time.

Inside the hanging flower gate is the corridor. If you want to see Du Yutong, you have to go to the backyard along the right side of the corridor.

A servant led Zhen Jingxiu to the corridor on the left.

"Master Zhen, please stay."

"Miss Jiang, do you have anything else to tell me?"

"I'm from Yannan. If there's anything you want to know, I'll tell you everything I know."

Zhen Jingxiu understood and bowed, saying, "Understood."

Jiang Shuyue returned the greeting generously, turned around and followed the maid to the backyard.

She was sure that most of the officials had never left the capital. They were sitting together and discussing things as if they were just talking on paper. Someone would be sent to invite her over soon.

Zhen Jingxiu watched the beautiful figure disappear at the end of the corridor.

His eyes flashed slightly, and he thought to himself that Miss Jiang meant what she said and was definitely not a casual remark.

Originally coming with Dian Mao's thoughts in mind, Zhen Jingxiu was in a happy mood at this time and his steps were a little brisk.

In the backyard, Du Yutong saw Jiang Shuyue and was so happy that he stepped forward and took Jiang Shuyue's hand, "Sister Jiang, it's great that you're here. I was thinking about you just now! It's really blessed by the Bodhisattva. Everything I want can come true."

Jiang Shuyue patted the back of her hand, "I'm usually too busy to see you. Today I went home very early, so I thought I'd come over and have a look at you before you fell asleep. Then Does the medicine work? Does your stomach still hurt?”

Du Yutong affectionately pulled Jiang Shuyue to sit on the soft couch and touched her abdomen with her hand, "Sister Jiang's prescription is really effective. After I drank it, my stomach no longer hurts."

"Don't eat cold food before menstruation from now on, otherwise it will be difficult for your children to get married."

Du Yutong took Jiang Shuyue's arm, with a shy look on her face, "If I don't get married, sister Jiang, can you be my sister-in-law? If I don't get married, you can allow me to be an old girl at home for the rest of my life."

Jiang Shuyue glared at her, "Silly girl, there are so many good men, how can Wei Mingzhou scare you like this?"

"Stop promoting your brother in the future. Your brother is not my type."

Du Yutong refused and said, "My eldest brother is not your type. I also have cousins ​​in my family. There are more than twenty cousins, big and small, for you to choose from. If you want to recruit a son-in-law, my concubine will also become..."

"Stop it, your concubine has just tied his hair. You are immoral or not. If you are willing to let it go, can I do it?"

"Miss Jiang, Master Du invites you."

The two were playing around when the maid's announcement sounded outside the door.
