Chapter 129: A Great Victory

"What identity?" Jiang Shuyue blinked in confusion.

"Of course, he should be the son-in-law of our Jiang family. Miss, don't you think that Young Master Nangong is more suitable than the prince?"

After hearing Qiuju's words, Jiang Shuyue laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist.

After a while, Jiang Shuyue stroked her belly and said, "Silly girl, Young Master Nangong is my friend. I'm really embarrassed to ask you to do something to him."

"Miss, have you ever thought about it? If the prince succeeds tonight, he will be the king of a country by then. Will he allow you to find a stepfather for Master Sui Sui?"

"I'm not related to him. Even if he succeeds, he has three palaces and six courtyards, and a group of children. The front court and the harem are enough for him to be busy. He can think of Sui Sui at that time. How can he care about who I marry?"

Jiang Shuyue didn't think so. Men all have a common problem. When they have power and beauty, how can they care about other people's affairs.

"Okay, I'll leave first." Qiuju has always believed that what the young lady does and says is the truth.

After Qiuju left, Jiang Shuyue changed into pajamas and tied her long hair behind her head with a hairband.

Pushing open the window, the rich fragrance of osmanthus hit her face, and the fragrance was fragrant.

As the autumn became stronger, she took a thin blanket and lay on the soft couch?

She was tired, but still not sleepy. She couldn't sleep well before Gao Mu and Cang Yun came back.

Tonight, it was not only the court ministers who were panicking, but the lights in the princess's mansion were also bright at this time.

The guards sent by the eldest princess Song Yunzhi kept coming back to report the battle situation.

"Report to the princess, the soldiers of the Western Suburbs Camp have entered the city."

"Report to the princess, the Jinyiwei suffered heavy casualties, and rebels appeared in the Western Suburbs Camp. Prince Xiao has ordered the Western Suburbs Commander-in-Chief to lead the troops back to the camp and wait for orders."

"What should I do? I have advised Song Rui, that bastard, many times. He spends all day drinking and having fun. The Song family can't keep the country." The eldest princess walked around anxiously.

The son-in-law was the third place winner of the imperial examination that year. Because he was recruited as a son-in-law, his official career was ruined.

After years of luxury, the handsome son-in-law still retains a scholarly air.

"Princess, don't worry. It's too late to save the situation. Fortunately, Prince Xiao has a good relationship with us. As long as we don't interfere, he won't kill us."

Song Yunzhi didn't think so. She gritted her teeth and said to the prince, "Hurry up and get someone to prepare the carriage. I have to go to see the prince."

"Princess, swords have no eyes. Let's go at dawn!" The prince had never seen the princess so nervous, and he became nervous too.

Song Yunzhi scolded, "What do you know? It's too late to go at dawn. The prince entered the city so smoothly and unstoppably. He came prepared."

Xiao Jingzhao has a good reputation. Song Yunzhi has always known it, but the emperor didn't listen to her advice, insisted on his own way, and ignored the victims.

Song Yunzhi was unwilling to accept the situation today even if she was mentally prepared.

After tonight, whether the princess's mansion can keep its glory and wealth, she can only gamble.

Seeing the princess leading a group of people out of the princess's mansion, the prince consort's legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

As soon as the carriage arrived outside Donghua Gate, he smelled the smell of blood in the air.

Under the light of the fire, figures intersected, and the sound of swords clashing mixed with screams came.

"Who is it?"

A sharp shout.

A group of soldiers quickly surrounded Song Yunzhi's carriage.

"Don't be rude, it's the princess inside." The driver said hurriedly.

Song Yunzhi lifted the curtain of the carriage, and the smell of blood came to her nose. The scene in front of her made her secretly frightened.

"I am here to welcome the prince, why don't you get out of the way quickly!"

Not far away, swords flashed, and several of the emperor's soldiers were resisting stubbornly.

Song Yunzhi got off the carriage. A soldier saw that the lantern on her carriage was the symbol of the princess's mansion, and stepped forward and said: "The prince is meeting with ministers at this moment, the princess, please move."

Song Yunzhi did not bring a servant, and followed the soldiers to a palace wall alone.

"We are late in welcoming the prince. Please forgive us."

The handsome man waved his hand at everyone, "What crime have you committed? If Song Rui is a wise ruler who cares about the world, I have nothing to say. What he did is infuriating to both humans and gods, and the people have seen it."

Song Yunzhi looked at the scene in front of her and secretly felt lucky to have made the right choice.

"The princess is here to welcome the prince."

With a loud shout, the ministers who came to see Xiao Jingzhao finally felt relieved.

Just as Song Yunzhi walked towards Xiao Jingzhao, someone shouted, "Look, there's a fire in the palace!"

Song Yunzhi walked a few steps away from Xiao Jingzhao and stopped.

"You finally came. Please, Prince, spare him a life for the sake of our grandfather's deep friendship."

"Let him go. What are those dead soldiers? The victims are displaced, but he is living happily in this Sifang City. The people are living in poverty, but he is still singing and dancing. What's the point of keeping such a waste?"

Faced with Xiao Jingzhao's questioning, the princess was speechless.

At this time, the fighting subsided, and Xiangyang came to Xiao Jingzhao and whispered something.

The ministers on the side looked at the flames in the palace, and Du Zhong led the way and said, "Let's ask someone to open the palace gate."

"You are all civil officials. The princess can go alone for this matter. Go back and wait for news."

Song Yunzhi's mouth twitched. To show loyalty, it is naturally not just talk.

Xiao Jingzhao asked the civil officials to leave. Seeing that the burning place in the palace was where the emperor lived, at this critical moment, everyone wanted to know what happened in the palace.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Song Yunzhi walked towards the palace gate.

As the eldest princess, for the sake of the more than 100 people in the princess's mansion, she had to put down her pride in the face of the enemy.

Her legs seemed to be filled with lead, and every step she took took a lot of effort.

Her gorgeous clothes formed a sharp contrast with the corpses lying on the ground in the distance.

Her mother was still in the palace, and she didn't know how Xiao Jingzhao would deal with her relatives. She felt helpless and sad.

When the palace gate opened, the palace maids and eunuchs were in a mess, shouting "The fire broke out."

…

It was getting darker and the dew was heavier. The night wind blew into the house from the window. Jiang Shuyue looked at the hourglass and it was already the end of the Wei hour.

"Puff."

With a light sound, the candle flame burst into a flower.

Just when Jiang Shuyue was thinking that this was a good omen, the sound of footsteps on fallen leaves came from outside the window.

Then Gao Mu's voice rang out, "Miss, the big thing is done."

Jiang Shuyue was refreshed and her sleepiness disappeared.

"How many casualties did the soldiers have?" Jiang Shuyue sat up straight.

Cang Yun's head squeezed to the window from the side and answered: "I have carefully checked, and the most casualties are the Jinyiwei and the death squad."

"The one in the palace..."

"He set himself on fire, along with the queen mother. The entire Qianqing Palace was burned beyond recognition." Gao Mu answered before Jiang Shuyue asked.

"Some court officials and the princess welcomed the prince into the palace. The injured soldiers were carried to the Imperial Hospital. The prince won a great victory. Miss can rest now."
