Chapter 421: Change of Situation
De Fei's well-maintained face soon swelled up.
Yun Si hit her about a dozen times, and Jiang Yi said coldly: "Stop."
Yun Si stopped and quickly retreated to the side of the Phoenix Seal.
Looking at De Fei again, her fair and beautiful cheeks were swollen and blue, the corners of her mouth were cracked, and blood was spreading down the corners of her mouth, looking extremely embarrassed and terrible.
"De Fei." Jiang Yi's eyes were cold and sneerful, "These two days, the palace and the emperor have been acting with you, which may have given you an illusion. Do you think that if Yan Li is in trouble, you and your son have the final say in this Jin State? This palace advises you to go back to the palace and look at your embarrassed appearance in the mirror. "
After saying this, she retracted her gaze: "Get up."
The eunuchs carried the Phoenix Seal and continued to move forward, ignoring De Fei who was humiliating herself.
De Fei clenched her hands tightly, and her eyes were filled with hatred.
When Yan Yun heard the news that Concubine De was slapped in the face, his face froze: "The Queen ordered someone to attack my mother?"
The nanny beside Concubine De bowed her head: "Yes."
Yan Yun's face became gloomy, and his heart suddenly panicked.
His first reaction was not to worry about his mother, but to think that Jiang Yi's tough and cruel methods were not normal at all.
My father and the Queen are almost in a state of semi-confinement at the moment, and the situation is difficult. Why would she tear her face with my mother now?
Did the Queen suddenly explode because she couldn't bear it anymore, or did they get some news?
Thinking of General Xuan who had just hurried into the palace, Yan Yun's uneasy premonition became stronger and stronger, and he felt that something was out of his control.
What happened?
"Come here." Yan Yun suppressed his uneasiness and turned around coldly, "Follow me to the Qinzheng Palace."
If it really doesn't work, just do it once and for all--
"Eighth Prince! Eighth Prince!" A man came flying from outside the palace, almost rolling off the horse, "Oh no! The... Princess is back!"
What?
It was like a bolt from the blue, a thunderbolt struck.
Yan Yun was hit so hard that he felt dizzy and almost lost his balance: "What did you say?"
He took two steps at a time and stepped forward to grab the clothes of the visitor tightly: "What did you just say? Say it again!"
The visitor looked terrified and said incoherently: "Her Royal Highness the Princess is not dead. She... She is back alive and well. The private soldiers of the Princess's Mansion went out of the city to pick her up, and... and more than a thousand people under the command of Captain Fan and Captain Hou were locked outside the city gate. They can't get in, and the people in the city can't get out. Your Highness, the Eighth Prince... What should we do? The Princess will definitely not let us go..."
The guards on duty all changed their expressions.
Yan Yun's face turned pale, and he let go of his hand in a daze. His face was stiff and pale, and he didn't know how to react for a while.
Yan Li is back?
Why did she come back? Shouldn't she die outside?
He sent so many spies and assassins, and ordered them to kill Yan Li at all costs, why could she still return to the imperial city alive and well?
Yan Li knew that someone was trying to assassinate her, so she concealed the truth and deliberately spread false information to make people think that she was really assassinated, so as to paralyze him and let him down?
Why didn't his spies find out any real news about her?
"Eighth Prince." The Jingji Guard who was kneeling on the ground to report the news raised his head tremblingly, "What should we do?"
Yan Yun came back to his senses, what should he do?
He turned his head and looked at his men who were guarding the palace gate, almost losing his reason and judgment, and thought of several solutions as quickly as possible in a panic.
If he led people to rush to the Qinzheng Palace now, killed his father and the queen, and took Yan Li down in the name of treason as soon as she entered the palace, what would be the chance of success?
Could the Jingji Guard he had won over defeat the Imperial Guards, wipe out the 3,000 elite soldiers of the Princess's Mansion, and successfully kill Yan Li?
Yan Yun closed his eyes, it was impossible.
Because the premise of doing so is that all the officials in the court are willing to listen to him, and the Jingji Guards under his control are the opponents of the three thousand private soldiers of the Princess's Mansion - no, more than three thousand, there are also those Jingji Guards in the suburban military camps who have not been bribed, they will definitely follow Yan Li into the capital.
The more Yan Yun thought about it, the more desperate he became.
He was not Yan Li's opponent at all. The three elite soldiers of the Princess's Mansion were Yan Li's exclusive soldiers. They were loyal to Yan Li, well-trained, and extremely strong in combat.
He had no chance of winning. If the two sides fought, Yan Li would definitely kill him.
So this way would not work.
What if he went to the Qinzheng Hall to plead guilty now?
If he went to tell his father now that Yan Li had returned safely, the treacherous people who had sneaked into the palace had been eliminated by him, and all the things that happened before were done out of necessity, would his father believe him?
Would they believe that he had no intention of rebellion at all?
Yan Yun struggled hard in his heart. One step forward would mean death, and one step back might mean life or death.
How should he choose?
This is the disadvantage of not having military power in his hands. The soldiers who were temporarily recruited are not reliable at all. They are willing to listen to him for the benefit and the benefits that Yan Yun promised to give them.
But once death is above the benefit, they will definitely lay down their weapons and will never fight to the end for Yan Yun.
Because they all have families, they have elderly parents and children, and it is impossible for them to risk the lives of their entire family or even nine clans just for a rebellion that is impossible to win.
The more I think about it, the more desperate I feel. This is a game with no chance of winning.
Yan Yun took a deep breath and turned around to order: "The eldest princess is auspicious to the Kingdom of Jin. Good people have their own destiny. Returning safely is the blessing of the Kingdom of Jin. Come! Follow me out of the palace to welcome the return of the eldest princess!" ŴŴŴ.
The Gyeonggi guards on duty at the palace gate were surprised when they heard this and turned to look at the Eighth Prince.
The tense emotions caused by hearing the return of the eldest princess finally relaxed at this moment.
"The Eighth Prince is right!" Suddenly someone raised his voice and said, "The eldest princess is the auspicious sign of the Jin Kingdom. Good luck people have their own destiny. No treacherous child can do anything to harm the eldest princess!"
Yan Yun's face turned green, but he had to hold back his anger and put on a smile.
"The Eighth Prince heard that there was a treacherous minister in the palace who wanted to commit rebellion, so he took precautions in advance, just to wait for the return of the eldest princess. The Eighth Prince is very loyal and patriotic, and he is admired by everyone in his humble position!"
"Your Royal Highness the Princess is a thousand years old!"
"Your Royal Highness the Princess is a thousand years old!"
"The Kingdom of Jin will last forever for thousands of generations!"
"The Kingdom of Jin will last forever for thousands of generations!"
The shouts were loud and loud.
