Chapter 299 Leaving the Capital
Bei Yu slowly turned his head and looked at Bei Yuan lying on the bed, muttering: "How could it be? You are..."
"They are brothers, right?" Beiyao smiled and took over Beiyu's words, "Even if they are brothers, so what? He doesn't even want the father-son relationship, so what is the brotherhood?"
"Then why didn't you say it before?"
"Father, you didn't even punish my brother for his rebellion. Am I asking for humiliation by telling you what to do?"
"But, but..." Bei Yu was speechless.
Especially when he saw Beiyao still smiling, he was speechless.
How many times of being ignored will this smile appear?
Bei Yu didn’t know.
But he had clearly given Beiyao the best of everything.
Why did everything turn out like this?
"Father, you must be aware that Zhang Yue is being used. Instead of targeting Zhang Yue who is eager to save his sister, it is better to catch the real culprit behind the scenes first."
"You are right. It is Father who is too concerned and confused."
Bei Yu retracted his gaze, his eyes dimmed, "I can see that you are more capable than the crown prince. Father is old and useless, so you should be responsible for this matter."
Bei Yu sat on the chair and sighed deeply, "As for the prince, the crime of treason is unforgivable. I only ask that he be spared. I wish that the prince has united the three states of the east, west and north. The governors of these three states are the border defense of Tianqi. Nothing can happen. The bandits in the south are also a problem. You should also attend the court tomorrow morning."
After Bei Yu finished speaking, he let out another long sigh.
Over the years, Bei Yu felt that he had done well enough as an emperor.
There was no fierce struggle among princes for the throne, and there were few wars with foreign countries, and the people lived and worked in peace.
But now it seems that everything is an illusion.
It was his incompetence that caused him to fail to see the problem clearly.
"Now Geshu Khan is still in the capital, and the prince is still engaged to Princess Changqing. If the prince's rebellion is exposed, not only will the people be in turmoil, but the Geshu tribe will also immediately cancel the engagement, and the relationship between the two countries will definitely be severed."
"What should I do?"
"The prince has been assassinated, so the wedding date is postponed. At the same time, we will send people to the three states of the east, west and north to secretly capture the generals who intend to join the prince in a rebellion. When Geshu Khan leaves the capital, we will announce that the prince has died. This way, we can solve the immediate problem and preserve the dignity of the royal family."
Bei Yu was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, let's do as you say. As for Zhang Yue... since you want to let him go, then grant amnesty to the whole world on the pretext of the Crown Prince praying for his blessing."
Hearing Bei Yu's words, Bei Yao looked up in disbelief.
"I heard that you were injured because of Zhang Yue, but you didn't see the doctor because you were afraid that I would be angry with Zhang Yue. I also know why you did this, but I want to tell you that you are the third prince, and may even be the next emperor of Tianqi. You can choose your wife regardless of her family background or talent, but you can never make a wish for her."
Bei Yao lowered his eyes and said calmly, "I understand."
-
Late at night, everything is silent.
The city gate opened a little, and after the black carriage drove out, it quickly closed again.
After leaving the city gate, the carriage stopped and the two sides took over.
A black figure quietly mounted his horse and continued to drive away from the capital.
Bei Yao stood on the city wall and watched the carriage go farther and farther away until it disappeared.
Seeing this, Cheng Xi whispered, "Your Highness, it's a good thing that you're alive. Under the current circumstances, it would be really dangerous for Miss Xu to stay in the capital."
Just this afternoon, Shen Yichuan began to investigate the Xu family case.
Not started yet.
Song Tiancheng, who had taken sick leave in the morning, was found dead in front of the gate of Dali Temple.
Not only that, Wei Chenyi, who was detained in Tianlao, also committed suicide by taking poison.
In one afternoon, no matter who Shen Yichuan found, when he was looking for someone, he only carried back a corpse.
It is obvious that some people are killing people to silence them in order to protect themselves.
But Shen Yichuan couldn't find that person.
Overnight, everyone in the capital felt in danger.
At this moment, leaving the capital is the best choice.
Because making a wish is very likely to lead to someone silencing you.
"Yes, it's good to be alive. Asking for anything else will only add to your troubles."
Bei Yao's smile was like the wind, but it disappeared in a moment.
He murmured, "Chengxi, do you think Xuyuan will return to the capital?"
"This...I don't know." Cheng Xi shook his head in embarrassment.
"She longs for freedom, so she probably won't come back. This is the last time we'll see her."
Bei Yao finished speaking, turned around and said, "Let's go back to the mansion to pack our things and prepare to go south."
In the carriage, Xu Yuan gently lowered the curtain, looking lonely.
Gongzi Qin saw it and comforted her: "Miss Xu, don't be sad. You will have a chance to come back in the future."
Xu Yuan nodded and looked at Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue was injured and still unconscious, so the carriage was not moving very fast. If the situation was not urgent, Bei Yao would not have been so anxious to arrange for Xu Yuan to leave the capital.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan cheered up and said to Chen Shan: "Now is a troubled time. There is no guarantee that we will not be hunted down. Let's go quickly."
"Yes." Chen Shan responded, waving the whip and speeding up.
The group of four traveled day and night, changed two horses, and finally left the capital.
Zhang Yue showed no signs of waking up, and he could not take medicine or water. The men had no choice but to stop in Qinzhou to find a doctor for Zhang Yue and to rest for a day.
After leaving the capital, several people changed their clothes.
Chen Shan went to invite a doctor, Gongzi Qin went to buy dry food, and Xu Yuan stayed in the restaurant to take care of Zhang Yue.
After traveling for two days in a row, Xu Yuan had no time to think about Bei Yao. Now that he had a break, he couldn't help but wonder what Bei Yao was doing.
Probably cleaning up her mess.
He may also be helping Shen Yichuan investigate the Xu family's case.
In short, it's all for her.
Xu Yuan sighed softly, wrung out the towel and wiped Zhang Yue's face, then went downstairs to ask the waiter to prepare food and send it upstairs.
After the doctor arrived, Master Qin also came back.
Seeing that Gongzi Qin had bought a lot of dry food, Xuyuan said, "You don't need to buy so much. We have already reached Qinzhou, so there shouldn't be any danger. I can walk the rest of the way by myself, so you guys go back."
Chen Shan said: "Master Qin and I will not return to the capital."
"What? What do you mean by not going back to the capital?"
I don't understand making a wish.
"The Third Master said that we should follow Miss Xu from now on. We can only leave after he has dealt with the affairs in the capital."
After Chen Shan finished speaking, he sighed and said, "Although I am reluctant to leave the capital, it is not bad to give myself a few days of free time occasionally."
"Do you think I'm asking you to come and play?!" Gongzi Qin slapped Chen Shan on the shoulder, straightened his expression and said, "You're being followed today, go to bed early, there's still a tough battle to fight tonight."
