Chapter 478 Leaving the Palace
Prince Chenliu arrived at the dock outside Beijing in the early morning of the next day, when it was still dark.
This wharf is very busy because large quantities of goods coming to the capital by water are loaded and unloaded here.
So even though it's still dark now, the pier is already bustling with people and cars, and the torches and lanterns make the surroundings as bright as day.
"Dear guest, we can only send you here." The man in green bowed to Prince Chenliu who was sitting in the cabin, and then said with a smile.
"Thank you, sir." Prince Chenliu stood up.
I have to say that the arrangements made by the Marquis of Zhenbei were excellent. Although the boat looked unremarkable from the outside, it was very comfortable and had all the necessary food and drinks.
Although he didn't dare to move, he could tell that the food was extremely delicious, especially the snacks.
It is said that the dim sum in Jiangnan is the best and most exquisite in the Daxie Dynasty, but Prince Chenliu feels that the dim sum served on this ship is even more mouth-watering than those made in Yanyu Tower, the best restaurant in Jiangnan.
Even if you don't eat it, just placing it there is as pleasing to the eye as a carefully carved treasure.
All ships arranged by the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion have such things, which shows the strength of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion itself!
Prince Chenliu straightened his robe and glanced at the cakes on the table. If he was not in danger, he really wanted to try the taste of those cakes!
"Let's go!" Prince Chenliu said to Tie Zheng.
They walked out together.
At the dock in the capital city in the early autumn morning, the air is filled with thick moisture. If it were not for the somewhat chilly feeling, it would be somewhat similar to the south of the Yangtze River.
When they came ashore, the horses had already been unloaded from another boat.
The group mounted their horses again, and in just an hour they arrived at the gate of the capital.
After finding a forest, Prince Chenliu changed into his own clothes and put his hair in a golden crown. His guards also changed their merchant clothes into the robes of the guards of Prince Chenliu's palace. The group went straight to the gate of the capital city with the documents in their hands.
Because it was still early, even though they had spent an hour on the journey, it was still dark and the city gate was not open. Many people who wanted to enter the capital were waiting in front of the gate.
The cavalry of Prince Chenliu was really conspicuous. As soon as they appeared in front of the gate, someone came to find out what was going on.
When they saw that this pair of people were holding the letter from Prince Chenliu, their expressions changed again and again, and they ran quickly to deliver the message.
In just a quarter of an hour, Emperor Longchang already knew that Prince Chenliu had arrived safely in the capital and had already entered the city!
He was having breakfast in the Queen's palace at this time, with the eldest princess sitting next to him.
He came in the late night just to persuade the princess not to be angry with Chen Xinghe before going to court this morning.
After all, according to Chen Xinghe's arrangement, the ambush in Furong Town last night should have been successful.
As long as the Prince of Chenliu is killed or captured, half of his worries will be gone, and Chen Xinghe will be his hero. The princess still needs to be tolerant of Chen Xinghe's concubine.
So when Emperor Longchang learned that Prince Chenliu and his entourage had entered the city and were now staying at the Jiangnan Guild Hall, his hand holding the golden bowl trembled slightly!
He looked at the eldest princess.
The eldest princess still looked dissatisfied and indignant, and it seemed that she had not listened to a word of his and the queen's earnest advice.
The queen's face also changed slightly.
Although she didn't know about the ambush in Furong Town, she guessed that His Majesty asked her to keep the eldest princess in his palace and not release her so that Chen Xinghe could do something important.
After hearing the report from the palace and seeing the emperor's expression, it was not difficult for the queen to guess what Chen Xinghe was going to do.
The arrival of Prince Chenliu meant that her husband's arrangements had failed.
The Queen knew that Chen Xinghe secretly controlled His Majesty's spies in the capital.
"Brother! We are from the royal family! We are the masters of Daxie!" The eldest princess still looked impatient and said, "How can a master compromise with a servant in this world? You told me and my husband to get along well and stop arguing over that bitch. How can I, a dignified royal princess, live under the same roof with a lowly servant?"
The corner of Emperor Longchang's mouth twitched.
He didn't want to talk, so he just put the bowl heavily on the table and stood up.
The Queen quickly stood up and gave the others a look, and the maids came up with mouthwash and other things. Emperor Longchang waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and make trouble!" He looked at the eldest princess and said, "When you destroy my kingdom, I'll see how you can continue to be a royal princess!"
After saying this, he threw his sleeves and left angrily.
Everyone around knelt down and saw Emperor Longchang off tremblingly.
After Emperor Longchang left, the eldest princess looked confused.
"Sister-in-law, why would my brother say such a thing?" She felt very aggrieved. But she knew her brother was angry.
The Queen looked at the eldest princess's face, which was not young but was filled with a bit of anger and confusion, and sighed, "Your Highness, please consider His Majesty's difficulties. I will not keep you here any longer."
After saying that, she turned away.
The eldest princess was a little dazed when she saw the empty room in an instant.
But she soon came to her senses.
She can leave the palace now!
The eldest princess immediately lifted the hem of her skirt and decided to leave the palace as soon as possible, otherwise her brother and sister-in-law would change their minds and she would not be able to leave.
She has been trapped in this palace for the entire night, and no one knows whether that bitch and the little beast born to that bitch are dead or not!
And is that unfaithful man Chen Xinghe staying by those two bad guys' side?
The eldest princess felt like her heart was being roasted on fire when she thought that Chen Xinghe might have been guarding those two things all night.
She couldn't wait to leave the palace and headed straight for Miaoshou Pavilion.
"Kong Chun, the chief guard of Prince Cheng'en's Mansion, is guarding Miaoshou Pavilion in the name of Prince Cheng'en." Kong Chun stood in front of the door of Miaoshou Pavilion, blocking the people from the Princess' Mansion with an expressionless face.
Last night they threw all the people from the Princess's Mansion out, but unexpectedly, these guys, who were like dog-skin plasters, came back early this morning.
Leading the group was Nanny Li, who served as the eldest princess's attendant, and a carriage followed behind her.
Seeing Kong Chun's stubborn look, Nanny Li felt a little embarrassed. She still remembered the pain of being beaten last night, so she didn't dare to move forward.
She could only trot back to the front of the carriage.
"Your Highness, that rude man won't let us in!" she said to the people in the carriage. "Why don't we wait until Her Highness leaves the palace? After all, he's one of the Prince Consort's people. I really can't do anything about it."
