The Crown Princess is reborn and returns to subvert the world

Chapter 405: The Prime Minister personally went out of the city to welcome the coffin of the late em

But he quickly turned around and ran towards the city gate. When he ran to the gate, it was closed. However, he said something to the soldiers guarding the city, and the gate opened and let him in. Then the gate closed again.

Tian Muyu watched all this and understood everything even more clearly.

The people behind Old Man Jiang were the extra men his Sixth Uncle had sent in case the assassins he had originally sent out were not enough.

It’s a pity that these people are here with him now.

I wonder if his sixth uncle will go crazy if he finds out that his poison attack didn’t work.

Tian Qiquan did not go crazy this time. He looked at Mr. Jiang, who looked guilty, and reached out to help him up. "This is not your fault. It's because Tian Muyu was too cunning."

As he said this, he looked at Prime Minister Lan who was standing beside him, "Prime Minister, if Tian Muyu really wants to attack the city, what do you say we should do?"

Lan Xing'an thought for a moment and said, "The late emperor's coffin is outside the city right now. If the emperor does not allow them to enter the city, he will surely be questioned by the officials and criticized by the people. It would be better to open the city gates and let them in."

Tian Qiquan's face was obviously unhappy. "If I really open the city gate, it would be like inviting a wolf into the house! Don't forget what they did in Jiangnan?!"

"Yes, these old ministers naturally know about this. What the old minister meant was to pretend to let them into the city."

Tian Qiquan thought about it, and seemed to understand what Lan Xing'an meant. He nodded and said, "That's a good idea. Come on, tell me in detail where is the best place to arrange Prince Ning and his men after they enter the city?"

The father-in-law and the son-in-law actually got together to discuss, but their voices were so low that even Eunuch Liang beside them could not hear a word they said.

Since Tian Muyu didn't know anything about poison, he didn't dare to deal with the confiscated poison carelessly. He asked Xiong Er to find someone to guard it and wait for Jixiang to arrive before making a decision.

But he killed the remaining few masked poisoners.

Those who claimed that they were forced to poison were also taken care of. After all, if there were people who had no choice but to poison, he didn't want them to lose their heads with him.

Because there were too many carriages, Jixiang and his companions walked very slowly on the road.

When she entered the belly of Lanjia Mountain, she suddenly remembered the place where Ouyang Qingfeng hid the treasure, and an idea came to her mind.

"Stop the car!" Jixiang lifted the car curtain and shouted.

Guard Li quickly shouted to stop the car.

Jixiang immediately got off the carriage and looked towards the mountain opposite. She knew that going into the city this time would be dangerous, so she didn't want to take her three children with her.

"Madame Yu!"

Nanny Yu trotted over from the back of the carriage and asked, "Princess, what do you want?"

"I want you to stay outside the city with the children and the nurse. This Langa Mountain is the best place. What do you think?"

Nanny Yu had been worried all the way. The prince and princess could go and fight, but the three children were not even a month old, and she didn't want them to suffer with them.

Hearing Jixiang say this, he thought it was a good idea, "The place where I first met the princess has a few houses. I can stay there temporarily with my nurse."

Jixiang shook his head. "The houses we had back then were burned down. They are no longer suitable for living. But I do have a place that is relatively safe. It's just that the road up the mountain is a little dangerous, and life there is not very convenient. But don't worry, Mammy. I will ask Guard Li to deliver the food on the carriage to you."

Jixiang looked at Guard Li and said, "You take your men to stay and protect them, and I will lead the Acropolis Army behind us into the city."

Guard Li was worried, "Princess!"

"I am worried about the prince, but I am also worried about the children, so, Guard Li, I will leave the children to you."

Guard Li suddenly felt a pain in his heart. The princess handed the three children to him, which meant that she had decided to share life and death with the prince.

Although he also wanted to help, he nodded when he thought that the princess and the prince were also worried about the three children, and said, "Don't worry, princess. I will swear to protect the young master and the princess."

So Jixiang explained the situation to Guard Li and drew the way up the mountain for him.

Finally, she looked at the three lovely children in the carriage again, hugged them one by one, got off the carriage, and got on Guard Li's horse.

"General Zhao! Take your men and follow me!"

Jixiang flicked his whip and rode away on his horse.

Zhao Jian came up from behind, looked at Guard Li, said nothing, and led his men to chase Jixiang past the crowd.

After the Acropolis Army disappeared from sight, Guard Li ordered his men to lead Nanny Yu and the others into the mountains in the direction that Jixiang pointed.

When Jixiang galloped all the way out of the city, the city gate just opened.

Lan Xing'an personally went out of the city to welcome Tian Muyu, "Prince Ning, the emperor has specially sent an old minister to welcome the late emperor's coffin. The emperor has already sent the Ministry of Rites to prepare the funeral palace. The late emperor can go in first to place the coffin, waiting for the emperor and all officials to pay homage."

After saying this, he ran towards the coffin of Emperor Li Kang, crying and shouting, "Your Majesty, you were away from the capital for only a few days, why did you come back like this? Your heart has always been in your heart!"

Tian Muyu wanted to stop Lan Xing'an from getting close to him, but seeing that he had nothing, he ignored him.

After Lan Xing'an threw himself on the coffin and cried for a long time, he said calmly, "Prime Minister, don't cry and hurt yourself. You are so sad, my father must be very pleased. Maybe he will appreciate your loyalty and talk to you at night."

Lan Xing'an was already tired of crying, but he couldn't stop unless Tian Muyu told him to, so he could only howl.

While howling, he blamed himself for being nosy and for being the first to speak up for the emperor.

So when he heard Tian Muyu telling him to stop crying, he immediately wiped his eyes which had no tears to begin with.

"If the late emperor could really come to my dream, I would be very happy. I would also like to ask the late emperor why he left the capital so quietly. Why did he abandon us and the Great Saint Dynasty like that?"

"When did Father abandon you and the Great Saint Dynasty?"

A crisp sound was heard, and a maroon warhorse came galloping over.

On horseback, there is the heroic and dashing Jixiang.

As soon as Tian Muyu saw Jixiang coming, he happily reached out to pick her up.

But Jixiang did not dismount. She looked coldly at Lan Xing'an who was standing next to the coffin, "Prime Minister, as an important official beside the emperor, how could the emperor leave the capital without informing you in advance? Moreover, there is still the crown prince in the court, how could he abandon the Great Saint Dynasty?"

"So, Prime Minister, what you said today is intentionally distorting the facts of that day, and trying to accuse the emperor of a crime of harming the country?"

Lan Xing'an didn't expect Jixiang to come back suddenly, and he didn't expect Jixiang to slap him in the face.

Although he did want to deliberately distort the facts and make people misunderstand that Emperor Li Kang was wrong to leave the capital that day, he did not want to argue with Jixiang about this matter now, so he suppressed his anger and bent down to salute Jixiang.

"This old minister greets the princess."

"Reporting to the princess, I am leaving the city today on the orders of the emperor to welcome the late emperor's coffin into the city. The emperor has led all the officials to wait in the funeral palace. We should hurry into the city and not let the emperor wait anxiously."

Jixiang glanced towards the city gate, but saw two teams of soldiers lined up at the gate, with no more than a hundred people.

There were flags flying on the city walls, but there were few soldiers.

Everything seemed as usual.

"The late emperor was your elder brother. Your Majesty is extremely saddened by his death. He has ordered that the late emperor be buried with the highest standards. Prince Ning, Princess, please bring the late emperor into the city."

Tian Muyu looks auspicious.

Jixiang shook his head.

When Lan Xing'an saw Jixiang shaking his head, he became a little anxious.
