"It's over. The Empress Dowager might have a bad opinion of us now, but we have no choice. If we don't obey King Hun, our lives will be in danger.”
"After this matter, we must explain it to the Empress Dowager. We had no choice.”
"Sigh... How did the situation turn out like this? In the following period of time, no one would be able to restrain King Hun anymore.”
“......”
Chen Mao, Zhang He, and the others smiled bitterly in their hearts, feeling somewhat helpless.
They also knew that Sun Ruowei might have some thoughts about them at this time, but they could not be blamed for this.
Zhu Qiyu didn't dare to kill Sun Ruowei, but Zhu Qiyu would definitely dare to kill them. Moreover, he wouldn't even blink.
"Wangye, since Da Ming is unwilling to pay, then this one will leave first.”
Bayan Timur thought for a moment and said.
In this situation, there was no point for him to continue staying.
Since that was the case, he had better hurry back to Wala and inform Yexian of his gains from this trip to Beijing so that Yexian could make a more thorough plan for his next trip south.
"I'll have to trouble the magistrate to tell Yexian that this prince will be waiting for him in Beijing with a white silk hanging above his head.”
Zhu Qiyu said calmly.
Although his words were light, the iron blood contained in them was extremely heavy. Fighting with a white silk hanging above his head meant that he was prepared to die in battle.
Bayan Timur looked deeply at Zhu Qiyu and nodded,""Your Highness, don't worry. I'll personally bring your words to the Grand Preceptor.”
After saying that, he turned around and saved her without any hesitation.
Zhu Qiyu looked at Bayan Timur's back with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. He wondered if history would change.
"Your highness, are we just going to let him go like this?”
Cheng Jing walked in front of Zhu Qiyu and asked.
He felt that letting Bayan Timur go was a little too easy on him.
"What else?"
Zhu Qiyu shrugged and asked.
Without waiting for Cheng Jing to reply, he waved his hand and pointed at the corpses of the Imperial City guards on the ground."Alright, bring some people to deal with these corpses. In addition, count the number of deaths and treat them as if they died on the battlefield.”
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Cheng Jing nodded, feeling somewhat happy.
Hard work paid off. His performance just now was not in vain. Zhu Qiyu finally arranged a job for him.
"Yu Qian, Wang Zhi, Hu Bi, Jin Lian, Chen Xun, Jin Ying, Chen Mao, Zhang Bi, you guys come with me.”
Zhu Qiyu swept his gaze across the crowd and said indifferently.
From the beginning to the end, he had never forgotten his greatest enemy, Yexian. Now, he needed to deal with Yexian's southward advance.
"Yes, sir!"
Yu Qian, Wang Zhi, and the others nodded and followed Zhu Qiyu to the Hall of Heaven's Tribute.
Chen Mao and Zhang Tao looked at each other, both somewhat surprised. They did not expect that Zhu Qiyu would actually call the two of them along.
However, after thinking about it carefully, they understood that the two of them might have been treated as the representatives of the nobility in the city. However, to be able to inquire about some of Zhu Qiyu's plans, the two of them were more than happy.
...
Prince Hun's mansion!
Xing An told Consort Wu Xian, Consort Wang, and Consort Hang everything that had happened in the city."Empress, His Highness managed to control the situation and did not allow the Wala emissaries to take the money away…"
Consort Wu Xian's expression was very calm from the beginning to the end, as if she had already known the outcome. This temperament was admirable.
Concubine Wang and Concubine Hang weren't as shocked. As Xing An narrated, their expressions kept changing. Even after Xing An finished, their emotions still couldn't calm down for a long time.
"Your highness actually dared to contradict the empress dowager, is this true?”
Madam Hang muttered to herself, her face full of confusion.
The next moment, her face was filled with joy."Xing An, according to what you said, the soldiers of the Imperial City are now in the hands of His Highness, right?”
"Yes, at least on the surface.”
Xing An hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Hearing this, Madam Hang couldn't hide her joy."If that's the case, is wangye really going to be the emperor? If wangye becomes the emperor, wouldn't I become a noble consort?”
After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but giggle.
"Cough cough…"
Consort Wu Xian cleared her throat and glanced at Madam Hang.
Compared to the Hang Corporation, she was more satisfied with the Wang Corporation. Unfortunately, the Wang Corporation did not give birth to a son for Zhu Qiyu, while the Hang Corporation gave birth to Zhu Jianji.
Although the Wang family was the main palace, the Hang family had a son by their side, so their status was not low.
"Swoosh!"
When Consort Hang heard Consort Wu Xian's light cough, the smile on her face froze and she quickly regained her composure. However, from her brows, one could still see the excitement in her heart.
The reason she was happy now was that Zhu Qiyu only had one son, Zhu Jianji.
According to the Ming Dynasty's system of succession to the throne, there was a high probability that Zhu Jianji would be crowned Crown Prince.
Consort Wu Xian looked at Concubine Wang and Concubine Hang and said lightly,"Although Yu 'er looks strong now, she is actually very dangerous. If she takes a wrong step, she will fall into a situation of eternal damnation. The help we can provide Yu' er is very limited, but even if we can't help, we must not drag her down.”
The commotion that Zhu Qiyu had caused in the city could not be hidden at all.
Therefore, she had purposely asked Xing An to say it at this time for only one purpose. She was worried that the Wang and Hang Corps would be too complacent because of Zhu Qiyu's rise, which would bring some bad influence and disaster to Zhu Qiyu.
The Wang Corporation was a little better, but she was very worried about the Hang Corporation.
"Yes, mother!"
Hearing this, Madam Wang and Madam Hang nodded and replied.
After Consort Wu Xian's warning, the excitement in Madam Hang's heart slowly faded. She suddenly realized that Consort Wu Xian was right. Zhu Qiyu looked very strong now, but in fact, he could not lose even a step. Otherwise, he would fall into a bottomless abyss and not even his bones would remain.
As she thought of this, she broke out in a cold sweat. The excitement and excitement from before disappeared without a trace.
Consort Wu Xian saw that Consort Hang seemed to have been frightened by her and couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart, so she comforted her,"You don't have to worry too much. Since Yu 'er has already started to do it, then it's definitely not that he doesn't have a bit of confidence in his heart. We just have to stay in the wang fu and wait for the news. If things go smoothly, we can move to the palace in a few days.”
