The princes were left speechless by the question. Can they really sit back and relax by returning to Jinliang City?
In fact, everyone knows that it is impossible.
However, in this situation, it is not their turn to make a choice. If they don't go back, once Concubine Rong is found guilty of harming the heirs of the royal family, the people of Nanmen Mansion will definitely die.
Unless someone can prove that Concubine Rong is not guilty of murdering the prince, otherwise, she is going to die anyway, so why not escape and fight?
After going back, at least there might be a way to survive, right?
Nanmen Tuo narrowed his eyes and suddenly waved his hand: "Come here, take down the Grand Eunuch, let's break out!"
"You...do you want to rebel?"
The Grand Eunuch immediately retreated, but he and the dozens of guards he brought with him were surrounded by the guards of Nanmen Mansion.
"Takushiko, you have to think clearly. After taking this step, there is no way out!"
The Grand Eunuch glared at Nanmen Tuo and said anxiously: "If the Nanmen clan openly rebels, all forces in your hands will definitely be eyeing the troops in your hands. Jinliang City will definitely become a place where everyone is fighting for it. At that time, the entire
Jinliang City is bound to be in dire straits, Tuo Shizi, have you considered this clearly?"
Nanmen Tuo said nothing, and the other princes also looked worried.
The Grand Eunuch was right. In fact, they all knew that returning to Jinliang City would lead to a dead end. This time, the Nanmen clan openly rebelled when they returned.
By then, whoever led the troops to take down Jinliang City would have become famous. Now Beimu Country seems peaceful, but in fact, various forces are surging undercurrents.
Since he has a good reputation, who wouldn't rush to capture Jinliang City?
As for whether the city will be returned to the Holy One after the capture, who knows?
In short, as long as they bear the charge of rebellion, Jinliang City will inevitably become a mouthful of meat for everyone, and this way of survival will soon become a dead end.
But, if you don’t go back, what can you do now?
My aunt has harmed the royal children. Their homes will be confiscated and they will be executed. It is also a dead end.
"Takashiko, Takashiko!"
Outside, the captain of the guard hurried back, panting and saying: "Princes, what's wrong, the Seventh Prince led his troops and surrounded the Nanmen Mansion. They said... they said..." "What did you say?"
Nanmen Tuo's face darkened. Why did this incident even alarm the Seventh Prince? What does it have to do with him?
The head guard said anxiously: "The Seventh Prince's people said that Concubine Rong forced Concubine Jing to death when she was still the empress. The evidence is conclusive, and they are now helping the Grand Eunuch to seal up the Nanmen Mansion."
"What, Concubine Jing was forced to death by her aunt?"
When the princes heard this, they almost cursed their mothers.
Can't Nanmenrong be at peace with this scourge?
The concubines and princes in the harem can harm whomever they want. Now, aren't they all harming their own people?
The Seventh Prince and Concubine Rong were originally at odds with each other. Why don't they seize the opportunity now to avenge old and new grudges?
"Your Majesty, it's not good!"
Another person came back from outside, sweating profusely and looking anxious: "Prince Tuo, Lord Yu Jingfeng of the Nine Princes' Palace has brought a thousand troops and is heading towards the Nanmen Palace!"
Even the Ninth Prince participated in the attack! Everyone's faces were ashen, all this seemed to be premeditated, was it necessary to force them to death?
Now, even the Seventh Prince and Ninth Prince are here. How easy is it to break out now?
"Wait a moment!"
Among the crowd, someone suddenly walked out, walked up to the Grand Eunuch, and said seriously: "Grand Eunuch, I can prove that Concubine Rong did not murder any of the royal heirs."
Nanmen Xu! How could he?
What is needed for murder is evidence. So, what is needed to prove a person's innocence?
How could he have such confidence to say such a thing?
After a moment of shock, everyone was in despair. They had no confidence in Nanmen Xu at all, and they didn't think this coward could do anything.
Now, everyone clearly wants to force everyone in their Nanmen Mansion to death. Even if Nanmen Xu really has some evidence in his hand that can vindicate Nanmen Rong, the Grand Eunuch will not give him a chance.
The struggle for power is never about the truth. What does he think he can change with just a few words?
Nanmen Tuo and his brothers naturally didn't take Nanmen Xu's words to heart, but for a while they couldn't figure out how to solve the predicament at hand.
If that doesn't work, then go back to Jinliang City. Even if you may not be able to survive if you go back, at least it's better than waiting to die here.
Unexpectedly, the Grand Eunuch actually looked at Nanmen Xu and asked, "Do you really have evidence to prove Concubine Rong's innocence?"
"Of course, I also ask the Grand Eunuch to give me one day. Within one day, I will be able to prove it to the Holy One."
Although everyone was disdainful, they were also staring at the Grand Eunuch's expression. If there was still one day, it would at least give everyone a break.
Although, they all felt that it was impossible for Nanmen Xu to buy this day.
However, something that once again stunned everyone happened like this. The Duke said impartially: "Okay, the old slave will give Xu Shizi some face. However, Xu Shizi must follow the old slave back to the palace and prove it to the Holy Emperor himself."
"good!"
...a farce that ended at Nanmen as Xu followed the Grand Eunuch back to the palace.
The Seventh Prince's troops temporarily withdrew, and those led by Yu Jingfeng also returned to where they should be. The army outside the Nanmen Mansion completely retreated within a few seconds, with no one left.
No one can figure out what is going on?
A few words from Nanmen Xu are really so powerful?
However, everyone knows that although the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince have left, it may not be easy for everyone to leave this imperial city.
"Fifth brother, do we really have to wait here for news?
Nanmen Xu... do you think you can trust me?"
Several princes also came over. In fact, no one cared whether the aunt was wronged or not. After all, not many people really liked some of what this aunt had done in the past.
But now, the lives of so many people in Nanmen Mansion are indeed closely linked to this incident.
They just didn't understand how Emperor Qiwen dared to conflict with them head-on during such a sensitive period.
The Ninth Prince has more and more military power in his hands. Isn't Emperor Qiwen worried that the conflict with the Nanmen clan at this time will give the Ninth Prince an opportunity to take advantage of it?
What on earth is that old guy Emperor Qiwen thinking?
"Let people go outside the city to inform our people. If necessary, we should work together to break out."
At this point, I can no longer wait for death.
A day is neither long nor short. Even if you know that the possibility of escaping is not that great, it is still better than sitting back and waiting for death.
