Chapter 478 2 Entering the Palace
Chapter 478 2 Entering the Palace
…Jiang Yue went to the Xining Palace for the second time.
This time, she only brought Wu Fei and Xue Wen with her to the Xuanwu Army.
The rest of the Xuanwu Army thought of the possible conspiracy of King Xining and asked to go together, but were rejected by Jiang Yue.
Singh was wearing a tight-waisted and tight-sleeved suit, with his hair tied up in a high bun and a dark scarf on his face. His entire temperament had changed drastically compared to before.
She was uneasy throughout the entire process of going to Xining Palace, but she gave people a more stable feeling than before.
On the road, Wu Fei and Xue Wen acted as drivers.
"Jiang Yue, what exactly are you going to do?" Singer asked more than once in the carriage.
Jiang Yue: "Your father wants to kill me, what do you think I should do?"
"Isn't he my uncle? Could it be..." Singer's fingers trembled a little.
"Even if your father doesn't want to kill me, General Li has long wanted to kill me." Although Jiang Yue was not sure that King Xining would attack her tonight, it was not impossible. After all, their identities were invaders.
"Tonight, your father has already laid a dragnet in the palace."
After that, she did not forget to ask Singh:
"Are you afraid of it?"
Outside the car, Wu Fei and Xue Wen also became tense after hearing this.
Jiang Yue's words were a bit confusing, and Singh reacted for a moment in horror.
"What's the point of being afraid? Are you not going to enter the palace?"
"Why do you want to enter the palace?"
Wu Fei and Xue Wen even thought that it would be better to just turn around and leave.
But they couldn't make the decision without the general's order.
"Do you think I can escape if I don't enter the palace?" It was not the first time that Jiang Yue felt that Singh was naive. You have to know that to her, she was an enemy.
“Sometimes putting things out in the open can speed things up.”
"Your father has already ordered people to surround the entire royal city. I believe his men have already been dispatched."
"Then..." Singh couldn't think of any solution anyway. Seeing Jiang Yue's calm expression, she believed that she must have a solution.
"I don't want to see anything happen to either you or my uncle."
She always speaks directly and doesn't beat around the bush.
After hearing this, Jiang Yue couldn't help but ask:
"What if it was your father who was in trouble?"
"..." Singh shook his head.
"I do not know."
Seeing that Jiang Yue stopped asking questions, she whispered:
"You are finally going to take action against Father."
"It's not me who wants to attack him, but he who wants to attack me." Jiang Yue corrected.
"No one in Donglin can defeat you, why does my father do this?" Singh really couldn't understand, but he couldn't influence his father's decision.
Jiang Yue replied with four words: "I don't want to surrender."
This was the most direct reason he could think of.
Singh: "Will you? Will you kill my father?"
"..." Jiang Yue did not reply because she did not know how to reply.
…The entrance to the palace was unobstructed.
Inside the palace, the guards and palace servants kept looking at each other during the entire process of Jiang Yue and the other three entering the palace.
We walked all the way and entered the main hall.
The gazes of all the princes and nobles in the hall fell on Jiang Yue like torches.
And their king has already sat at the top.
When he saw Jiang Yue entering the hall, a kind smile appeared on his originally gloomy face.
"The young general is here, please take a seat."
Jiang Yue simply nodded, followed the palace servant's lead, and sat in the front row.
Singh's eyes did not change at all, and he just sat next to Jiang Yue.
She looked serious and calm, but in fact she was so stiff and nervous that she couldn't express herself in words.
Because she is full of fear of the unknown.
Behind them, Wu Fei and Xue Wen sat in the back row behind Jiang Yue, looking at the delicious food and wine served by rows of palace maids, but they had no intention of tasting them.
This time, even Wu Fei had no intention of eating. He was only thinking about when they would leave the palace.
After Jiang Yue sat down, she briefly looked around and saw the queen, who was dressed elegantly, standing beside King Xining.
When Jiang Yue met the Queen of Xining for the first time, her first impression of her was that she was strong-willed, arrogant and aloof.
At this moment, the queen's eyes were still as cold as before, and she seemed to care about nothing.
Until her eyes fixed on Singh, the looseness of the corners of her lips revealed her mood at the moment.
Jiang Yue then checked and saw General Yin and General Li who were sitting next to each other across from her.
General Yin did not hide his dissatisfaction with Jiang Yue at all. With bloodshot eyes, he looked at Jiang Yue.
In contrast to General Yin, General Li sat upright, waiting for the thrilling event to come.
Jiang Yue couldn't help but glance at Singh, and saw that her eyes remained the same. She didn't even look up at the queen, but just sat quietly beside her. She thought that the princess was still a princess, and she was not afraid of danger in important occasions.
...At the same time, a captain under General Li had already led more than a thousand soldiers and surrounded the courtyard where Jiang Yue was.
Then, the captain led ten trusted men and carefully entered the yard.
Unable to detect any movement, he was afraid of the other party's gunpowder after all, so he did not dare to force his way in.
After spending a long time outside and still no one showed up, the captain sent his trusted men to search one by one, only to find that the courtyard was empty.
"Where are you all going?"
"Maybe he went out for lunch." replied a soldier.
The captain thought, God help me, and immediately gave the order.
"Whoosh!"
However, after a careful search, they found nothing except some traces of life.
…Inside the palace, the palace banquet officially began.
Improvisation of singing and dancing is indispensable.
In addition to the looks that the princes and court officials gave Jiang Yue from time to time, there was also the implicit smell of gunpowder in the entire palace banquet.
It seemed like just an ordinary dinner party.
At this time, King Xining stood up, raised his glass and said:
"Since General Jiang entered my Xining King City, I have not personally hosted a banquet. Today, General Jiang has found some time. Let's drink and have fun tonight without any restraint."
Everyone stood up and drank together, and Jiang Yue also stood up.
After sitting down, she touched the wine glass in her hand, smelled the faint aroma of wine, but did not drink it.
This was the scene that Wu Fei and Xue Wen behind him were most reluctant to see, because in their eyes, the general could not drink much and would get drunk after even one glass.
"General Jiang, are you not giving our king face?" General Li spoke, his eyes falling on Jiang Yue's almost untouched wine glass.
In response to General Li's provocation, Jiang Yue responded with just a few words:
"I can't handle the alcohol."
"I didn't expect that the soldiers of Donglin are so cautious." King Xining thought to himself that Jiang Yue was afraid that he would tamper with the wine pot, and in fact it was true.
It's just a chronic poison.
King Xining tried to smooth things over, but was met with a cold stare from General Yin. The king and his subject had been fighting each other for years, and there was a flash of lightning when their eyes met at this moment.
He carefully glanced at the queen beside him who had ignored him, thinking that he would execute her when Yin Shaoping died.
"General Li, it's rare for the young general from Donglin to visit the palace, so please don't offend him."
"Today our two countries are on good terms, so there is really no need to be so cautious. I believe that although the young general is not good at drinking, his martial arts should be good. Let us see his extraordinary bravery."
As soon as the King of Xining finished speaking, General Li immediately winked at Jiang Yue.
