Chapter 283 Shang Fang's Sword is Here, Who Would Dare to Be Presumptuous

Qingtao was imposing, Qingxing stood beside her and echoed: "Do you have an imperial decree or an order from His Majesty? No, not a single fly is allowed to enter today!"

General Liu saw two weak women, and said with disdain: "I am following the order of the Second Highness. The Princess Mansion is suspected of covering up imperial court criminals. I want to go in and search. How dare you stop me?"

"Second Highness?" Qingtao snorted, "So there is no order from His Majesty? If that's the case, come here and close the door."

"How dare you? You obstructed me in every possible way. Could it be possible that someone is hiding in the mansion? Someone—come to me!"

"I see who would dare?" Qing Xing puffed up her chest, pulled out one of the guard's swords with her backhand, and pointed the sword point at General Liu, "I'm guilty of the crime below, and I'm an accomplice to treason. If you dare to take a step forward, I'll stab you to death. You die!" It’s dead in vain, try it if you don’t believe it.”

General Liu's eyes widened, "Hey, I don't believe it."

He took a step forward, and Qing Xing's hands didn't move half an inch, and they just pressed against General Liu's heart.

General Liu's face changed slightly, this girl really dared to do it!

"Listen well, the gate of the princess mansion is not something you can enter if you want to. If you dare to trespass, you will be affected by the nine clans in the future. Don't blame me for not reminding you that the princess will always be the princess. I can step on it."

Qingtao raised her chin slightly, and said in a cold tone, "You better think clearly, there is still no conclusion on who will be crowned in the end, but——no matter who becomes the emperor, the princess is still a princess, the humiliation suffered today, the princess will pay back a hundred times in the future In other words, do you think His Majesty will favor the princess, or you pawns?"

General Liu's face froze, and the Imperial Forest Army behind him also hesitated.

Although the words are not very nice, but... it does make sense!That is Princess Jianing, the daughter of Princess Rongding, even if she wants to rebel, no one will believe her, right?
She doesn't have any real power, but her treatment is one of all the princesses, and she has a good relationship with the princes. Although she usually keeps a low profile, if she really offends her, they will definitely be unable to bear it.

Someone leaned into General Liu's ear and whispered: "General, when you came here, the Second Highness also said, don't easily conflict with the people in the Princess Mansion, why don't we first surround the Princess Mansion and go back to the palace to ask the Second Highness for instructions?" Say more?"

This can be regarded as passing a step to General Liu. General Liu nodded "reluctantly", "In that case, I will go back to the palace and ask His Highness the Second Highness for instructions. You guard the Princess Mansion and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

After speaking, he still felt puzzled, glared at Qing Xing, and said in a strange way: "Not even a fly is allowed in! Hmph!"

He turned around and waved his arms to lead people away, Qing Xing: "..."

"Bah! You're still a general, you have a small belly, and your heart is not as big as the eye of a needle."

"Go, go back." Qingtao took a deep look at the Imperial Forest Army outside the door, turned her head and said to the guards: "Keep an eye on the door, unless the princess comes back or the imperial decree arrives, otherwise it is not allowed to open."

"Yes!"

The guards rushed forward and directly closed the door.

The Imperial Forest Army outside the door: "..."

As soon as Qingtao and Qingxing returned to the main courtyard, Qinghe and Qinglan surrounded her, "How is it? How's the situation outside?"

Qingtao shook her head: "Go in and talk, is Master Xinzhi awake?"

"woke up."

Qing Tao hurried into the room, Xin Zhi just sat up, saw her and asked, "Stop it?"

"Well, stop it. Those imperial guards said that the princess mansion was suspected of covering up imperial court criminals. I asked him to bring the imperial decree or His Majesty's oral order. If there is no one, he is not allowed to enter. After a stalemate for a while, he said that he would go back and ask His Highness for instructions."

After hearing this, Xin Zhi's face became more solemn, "The palace has indeed fallen into the hands of the second prince, and the current situation is too unfavorable for us."

"The Princess Mansion has been surrounded by the Royal Forest Army. I'm afraid you won't be able to get out, and it will be difficult for outside news to come in."

Qingtao frowned, tightly clutching her hand, "What should I do now?"

Xin Zhi was silent, his mind spinning rapidly.

Xin Wu went after the master. With her here, the master is probably fine, but the situation in the palace is unknown, so he has to get in touch with the princess as soon as possible.

Right now, only people from Jiyinglou and Jinyiwei can be mobilized. If Jinyiwei can intervene, the second prince will not be able to touch the Princess Mansion and Chu Mansion easily.

After thinking for a moment, Xin Zhi said to Qingtao: "I left some smoke in the west wing room, in the bottom left box of the closet, ask the dark guard to take it out, find the one with the red mark and light it in the courtyard, see Well, they know what to do, and then..."

Qingtao frowned after hearing this, "It's too dangerous, you still have such serious injuries, if you get caught—"

"There's nothing wrong with it. The duty of the secret guard is to protect the master. I deserve death for the princess being captured. I have to try my best to make up for it."

Xin Zhi made up his mind, and the others couldn't persuade him, so they could only follow his plan.

……

The situation in the Chu Mansion is much more severe.

After the Yulin Army surrounded the Chu Mansion, they rushed in, and the guards at the gate couldn't stop them, so they started fighting with them.

Xin Lu put on his clothes and got up, and shouted loudly when he saw this scene: "Stop! Who let you in?"

The leader is General Wu, who is different from General Liu, who is stern and soft-hearted.

Seeing Xin Lu did not respond, but raised his hand and said to the people behind him: "Come on, search for me!"

"I see who dares! Whoever dares to go further, I will let his blood splatter on the spot!" He whistled with his fingers, and the hidden guards hiding in the dark and the guards on the bright side of the mansion rushed over without saying a word He drew his sword and confronted the Imperial Forest Army.

General Wu glanced at them, "Why, do you want to resist the edict?"

"Oh, I would like to ask, whose purpose are you serving? What purpose? Where is the purpose?"

Xin Lu spoke quickly and his eyes were burning.

"I was ordered by the Second Highness to search the Chu Mansion. The Crown Prince wanted to frame His Majesty, and the stolen goods were seized. It was also found out that the Crown Prince had a close relationship with Chu Wuhen. His Highness sent me to investigate."

"It's nonsense! My Marquis has always been loyal to His Majesty, and only listened to His Majesty's orders. Unless His Majesty gives an order, if you dare to act presumptuously in the Chu Mansion, don't you take Your Majesty into consideration?" Xin Lu was startled. But still very calm.

"Your Majesty is seriously ill and comatose. Many things are inconvenient to do, so I handed them over to the Second Highness. The Second Highness oversees the country and acts as the emperor on his behalf. Why can't you just search the Chu Mansion? Is it possible that your Marquis is more noble than the Second Highness?"

Xin Lu narrowed his eyes, he had met his opponent.

The north wind roared past the two of them, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Both sides clenched the weapons in their hands without any trace, waiting for a chance to strike.

However, when the tension reached its peak, a group of guards walked out protecting a girl in purple.

"Then let me ask, is your second highness more honorable than your majesty?"

With a sound of "clang", the sword was unsheathed, showing its sharpness.

Holding the hilt of the sword, Lingxi raised the sword and said sharply: "Here is Shangfang's sword. Seeing this sword is like seeing Your Majesty. If you don't kneel, are you trying to rebel?"
