Chapter 296 Miss Xu should believe His Highness
The cups fell to the ground.
Bei Yu’s eyes went dark and he almost fainted.
The Queen Mother also asked hurriedly: "How did an assassin break in? Yuan'er, Yuan'er, how is he?!"
"Yes, how is the prince?"
Even if there is suspicion of treason, in Beiyu's heart, that child is always his child.
The eunuch didn't dare to breathe, and said in one breath: "It was Zhang Yue! He was supposed to go south to suppress the bandits, but for some reason, he suddenly brought people back to the capital and directly attacked the palace. His Royal Highness Prince Cheng has already arrested him and is waiting for the emperor to decide his fate."
"What did you say?!"
Hearing the name Zhang Yue, Xu Yuan looked over in disbelief and asked, "Who are you talking about?"
The eunuch didn't know the relationship between Xu Yuan and Zhang Yue, and thought Xu Yuan was worried about the prince, so he immediately repeated, "It was Zhang Yue who went south to suppress the bandits. The prince has been sent to the Imperial Hospital. Currently."
"Okay, okay." Bei Yu looked at Xu Yuan, his blood boiling in his chest, "Xu Yuan, you'd better pray that the prince is okay, otherwise, I will never let Zhang Yue go."
Bei Yu said this and walked out waving his sleeves.
The Queen Mother glanced at Xu Yuan and said, "Ji Huai, take Xu Yuan out of the palace."
The assassination of the crown prince was not simply a case of insubordination.
She can make a wish, but Zhang Yue can't.
The Queen Mother felt that those who made a wish should understand the trade-off.
The sun was shining brightly, and a group of people gathered in front of the Imperial Medical Bureau. When a voice shouted "The Emperor has arrived", the ministers waiting outside the Imperial Medical Bureau all knelt down and saluted.
Bei Yu ignored all the ministers and asked directly, "How is the prince?"
After hearing what Bei Yu said, Bei Yao said, "My royal brother is fine. He only has some superficial injuries. Zhang Yue has been detained in the Dali Temple."
"He is really very courageous. As a general who is responsible for suppressing bandits, he not only returned to the capital alone, but also dared to assassinate the crown prince. Someone, bring Zhang Yue here. I want to convict him personally!"
Bei Yu was still furious.
Hearing Bei Yu's words, Xu Yuan, who had rushed over in a hurry, immediately said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Yue is my brother. I know him well. He would not assassinate the prince. Please investigate clearly."
"How can we investigate this? Zhang Yue led his men into the palace and shot an arrow at the prince. If it weren't for the protection of Prince Cheng, the prince would have died by now."
Cheng Huan held the whisk and looked at Xu Yuan with hatred in his eyes.
Beiyao...
Xuyuan looked towards Beiyao.
He held his right hand in his sleeve, and there was an obvious darker spot on the black sleeve.
Is it bleeding?
Still hurt.
Xu Yuan didn't dare to delve into the matter and could only try hard to think about how to protect Zhang Yue at this moment.
"Yes, so many eyes have seen it. Zhang Yue wants to kill His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Qi Chengen's eyes were full of compassion, but his voice was exceptionally cold: "The Xu family is truly brave. Miss Xu dared to disguise herself as a man to redress her father's grievances, and General Zhang dared to escape from battle and assassinate the prince. If this matter is left unresolved, how will the people of the world view the royal family?"
"No, my brother is not someone who cannot tell right from wrong. There must be some misunderstanding."
After Xu Yuan finished speaking, seeing that Bei Yu was still unmoved, he spoke more hurriedly, "Your Majesty, there must be some misunderstanding about this matter. Your Majesty cannot be deceived by treacherous people!"
Xuyuan didn't know what happened.
But she knew Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue is not an impulsive person, and he would not assassinate the prince for no reason.
But she can't see Zhang Yue now.
The Queen Mother had just asked her to leave the palace, which made her position clear.
The Queen Mother would save her, but not Zhang Yue.
"Misunderstanding?" Bei Yu smiled. He looked at Xu Yuan, who was finally panicking, and said coldly, "My son's life or death is unknown. What misunderstanding do I need to worry about? I only know that Zhang Yue, as the commander, deserted the battlefield and should be executed. He assassinated the prince, which is a capital crime."
Bei Yu finished speaking, turned around and said: "Make a wish, I will let you go because your last name is Xu, but if you continue to beg for mercy, then you will die with Zhang Yue."
The Queen Mother moved her lips, but the words did not come out.
With so many ministers here, she couldn't go against Bei Yu's wishes.
You have no joke.
She could rely on her status as the emperor's biological mother to protect Xu Yuan, but she could not ask the emperor to release Zhang Yue.
That was an assassination.
According to Cheng Huan, if there was no Bei Yao, Bei Yuan would have been dead.
"But my brother..."
"Xu Yuan, do you really not understand what I'm saying?" Bei Yu interrupted Xu Yuan angrily, "If you dare to say one more word, I will kill you right now, believe it or not!"
Shen Yichuan immediately grabbed Xu Yuan's sleeve, shook his head at her, and signaled Xu Yuan to stop talking.
Anyone with eyes can see it.
The emperor is angry.
Anyone who goes to plead for mercy at this moment will be affected.
Seeing this, Bei Yao gently gathered his sleeves to cover the wound on his wrist, and said, "Cheng Xi, send Miss Xu away from the palace."
Xuyuan looked towards Beiyao.
Bei Yao did not look at her, but continued, "Today, the Crown Prince was assassinated, and Geshu Khan came to the capital. We were really flustered and could not entertain him properly. Now, the Emperor is worried about the Crown Prince's injury and has no intention of hosting a banquet. How about I host a banquet at the Cheng Palace to entertain Geshu Khan? "
After watching the excitement for a long time, Ge Shuda finally came to his senses and responded repeatedly: "Of course, in this case, thank you for the hospitality of King Cheng."
Cheng Huan also walked up to Xu Yuan at this moment and whispered, "Miss Xu, please follow me out of the palace."
I am unwilling to make a wish.
Cheng Xi then said, "Miss Xu should be aware of His Highness's temperament. At this moment, you should take care of yourself."
Xu Yuan raised his eyes and followed Bei Yao.
He was dressed in black and stood out among the crowd. He spoke eloquently to both the ministers and Geshu Khan.
Even the emperor forgot about the injured prince, and the anger on his face faded away, turning into a faint smile.
The group of people were talking and laughing, and they were in great harmony.
Youchengxi saw Xuyuan off and Shen Yichuan did not go with him.
The carriage stopped at the palace gate.
When Wu Shiming saw Xu Yuan coming out, he asked with a smile: "Xu Yuan, how is it? You are still alive, doesn't that mean..."
Before Wu Shiming finished speaking, he saw Cheng Xi shaking his head at him. He immediately stopped talking and comforted him, "It's nothing, it's the best thing that you're not dead. There are many opportunities. Don't worry about this one."
"I'm tired." Xu Yuan climbed into the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.
Wu Shiming couldn't make up his mind, so he could only ask tentatively: "Then let's go back and rest?"
Xu Yuan shook his head and said, "No, I will go to the prison."
Tianlao is the place where serious criminals are held. If Zhang Yue is caught for assassinating the prince, he will be sent to prison immediately.
There are guests in the palace today, so the Emperor won't deal with it in such a hurry.
She would find out the situation clearly and wait until the emperor had calmed down before explaining it. Perhaps, she could still save Zhang Yue's life.
If he couldn't be saved, if Zhang Yue died...
Then there is no point in her living.
But she couldn't just give up.
There was something strange about this matter. Even if it meant death, she had to find out what had happened.
Wu Shiming wished to go to Tianlao. Although he didn't know why, he immediately said to the driver, "Turn around and go to Tianlao."
"Miss Xu, you don't have to go."
Cheng Xi stopped in front of the carriage and relayed Bei Yao's words: "His Highness told me to tell Miss Xu that after leaving the palace, she should pack her bags and prepare to leave the capital. Zhang Yue will find a way to deal with it. Miss Xu doesn't need to worry. The most important thing right now is to rest."
"But I..." Xu Yuan hesitated to speak.
Cheng Xi said: "Miss Xu should trust His Highness."
Seeing Xu Yuan's haggard face, Wu Shiming also said, "Yeah, why don't we go back and rest for a while? Once we have rested, we will have the energy to think of a solution, right?"
Xu Yuan lowered the curtain and whispered, "Go back."
