"Marquis Ancheng, are you going to do something disloyal?" Princess Yongping was not afraid at all and looked at him with a warm smile, "I am the grandson of Emperor Chen and the granddaughter of the late Emperor Chengyuan! Prince Huaiyan is my father , the current Holy Emperor is my biological uncle! The Queen Mother who guards the palace is also my biological grandmother! You dare to use the sword against me? Even the elders of the clan dare not be rude to me! Are you worthy?!"
Anyu looked at the ridicule and provocation in Princess Yongping's eyes and sneered: "Whether I am worthy or not depends on whether you, the princess, want to continue to say disrespectful words! You can try it!"
Princess Yongping looked at him intently, and after a while, she suddenly realized: "It's the emperor who pampers you so much that you don't even know how to be afraid!"
"If you deceive me that I have no elders to protect me at this moment, then I'm sorry, I can let you know the sharpness of Shang Fang's sword!"
Anyu insisted and refused to give in, as if he was stubborn and refused to believe that something had really happened to the emperor.
He and Princess Yongping were confronting each other. The deputy commander of the Internal Guards on the side seemed to have closed his five senses and stayed beside him like a pillar, saying nothing from the beginning to the end.
"Bang!" Suddenly, Princess Yongping's attendant was kicked in from outside.
The three people in the house were attracted by the silence and looked at the smashed door almost at the same time.
"Sister Yuan?!" Anyu knew that Sheng Yuan would come, but he didn't expect her to show up to relieve her anger, so she immediately overturned the table and ran over.
"Sheng Wenzhen!" Princess Yongping didn't expect that Sheng Yuan would choose this way to meet everyone, and she immediately became very happy.
She waved her hand to move away the valet who was holding her belly and reluctantly stood up. She looked at Sheng Yuan and asked, "Just come in. We didn't let anyone stop us. How could you hurt my princess's valet! This dog-beating But it still depends on the master... Sheng Jiuniang, you are too arrogant and domineering!"
The first thing Sheng Yuan did when she entered the house was to see how Anyu was doing.
Seeing that this guy was alive and well, looking like he was fine, he was completely relieved.
She is also in the mood to deal with Princess Yongping.
"Hit the dog? Princess Yongping, who do you think is the dog? Is it him?!" Sheng Yuan pointed at the valet who was hugging him and moaning alone, and smiled, "Isn't he your valet? Why did he turn into a dog? !”
After she asked Princess Yongping, she also asked the servant who was beaten: "Are you a dog?"
Attendant:...
If you ask him in front of his master, he has to say yes!
But isn’t the girl in front of me taking the imperial examination? Why does kicking someone hurt so much? !
The attendant endured the pain and wanted to speak, but Shengyuan didn't want to give him a chance.
She was not quarreling at all as Princess Yongping thought she was. Her whole demeanor suddenly changed and she raised her voice and asked: "Princess Yongping, Deputy Commander Zheng, are you planning to rebel?!"
Generally speaking, it means changing the situation between offense and defense.
"Miss Sheng, don't talk nonsense!" Deputy Commander Zheng, who was originally calm, lost his composure.
"Nonsense? That's not true?!" Seeing that Princess Yongping didn't speak, Sheng Yuan turned her attention to the deputy commander of the inner guard army, "Anchenghou is the commander-in-chief of Kyoto's troops and horses personally appointed by the emperor. He is responsible for commanding patrols. City Secretary and your Internal Guards! Not to mention your Deputy Commander Zheng, even if your immediate superior is the Commander of the Internal Guards here, he should also be managed by Marquis Ancheng? When and which rules allow subordinates to detain their superiors? Except for the rebels, who would dare to behave like this openly?! You still say that you have no intention of rebelling?!"
"Miss Sheng! Don't talk nonsense!" Deputy Commander Zheng looked panicked.
Although he looked down on the dandy Ancheng Hou who was parachuted into the air due to his favor, he didn't even think about going against the wishes of others!
"Princess Yongping said that the Holy Emperor was in danger. Zheng was afraid that something might happen in Kyoto, so he invited the young Marquis to come here for a confidential discussion."
"Little Marquis?"
Vice Commander Zheng looked at Sheng Yuan's half-smiling expression, and suddenly the hairs on the back of his neck stood up. He hurriedly said, "General An! It's General An!"
"Secret talks?" Sheng Yuan nodded and looked at the three of them, "Rumors are spreading everywhere at the moment. Shouldn't the Internal Guards and the City Patrol Department be patrolling day and night and making arrangements in detail? From Dali Temple to here, there is no one on the street. This is yours. deal with?"
"Sheng Jiuniang, you don't know what's going on..." Princess Yongping couldn't help but feel disappointed when she saw that Deputy Commander Zheng was not responsible. Ever since Sheng Yuan appeared, it was difficult for him to maintain his previous calmness.
"Sheng Wenzhen."
Princess Yongping was about to continue, but she heard Sheng Yuan say these three words calmly.
"I am guarding Kyoto in the name of a court official at this moment. Therefore, Princess Yongping, you can either call me by my first name, or you can address me by my official position."
"..." Princess Yongping endured her anger.
"Marquis Anjo is responsible for the security of Kyoto. If Princess Yongping doesn't have wild ambitions, she shouldn't detain him without permission."
"The incident happened suddenly. As a close relative of the emperor's uncle, I am responsible for the continuation of the royal family!" Princess Yongping did not expect that Sheng Yuan's choice of words and sentences would be so irritating, and she finally couldn't stand it any longer.
"Issues about the royal family have been discussed by the Queen Mother and the elders of the clan... Even if the princess has to come forward, there is still Princess Yuanning! Princess Yuanning has been practicing in the Department of Hosts and Guests of the Ministry of Rites for several months, and now she is extremely knowledgeable about receiving tributes from various countries. We are familiar with each other, it would be most suitable for her to be in charge of protecting the capital."
The smile on Princess Yongping's face faded: "Information from outside the capital revealed that the emperor and his party were all killed. Now that the throne is vacant, it is necessary to find an heir to the late queen to stabilize the situation."
"!!!" Sheng Yuan didn't expect that the actual situation was more serious than what she heard!
All, all are assassinated? !
The Emperor, Concubine An, and Prince Hui are all gone? !
Sheng Yuan suddenly looked at Anyu, only to find that he had his head lowered and his whole body was full of resistance.
elder sister!
Thinking of her sister who was pregnant with Liujia, Sheng Yuan felt an emotion roaring in her heart.
"Tomorrow, the cabinet will discuss the matter of the crown prince. I, the princess, are trying to maintain the stability of Kyoto at this moment, so as not to cause chaos in Kyoto... As the commander-in-chief of Kyoto's defense, Anjohou not only refused to cooperate, but also intended to interfere. This is not the behavior of a law-abiding person. ah!"
"I said that we need to increase our defense strength! Who was it that he immediately detained without saying a word?"
Anyu was unhappy when he saw that the other party was shifting the responsibility to himself.
Sheng Yuan heard this and raised his eyebrows at the other party.
Are you stupid? ! Didn't you expect that? !
The emperor gave Anyu great power before leaving the capital.
If it weren't for the difficulties in managing the army outside Beijing, I'm afraid the commander-in-chief of the Kyoto army in Anyu would have to manage even more!
"Okay then, let's ask Marquis Ancheng... Oh, no, it should be General An... Then please ask General An to take up the responsibilities given by the emperor, protect Kyoto, and welcome the crown prince to the throne!"
After Princess Yongping finished speaking, she flicked her sleeves and strode away.
Sheng Yuan felt that because she frequently mentioned the crown prince, she was probably someone who had chosen him.
It's a pity that Princess Yongping didn't give her a chance to ask questions, and it was hard for her to catch up and ask.
"Brother Yu..." Sheng Yuan turned around to talk to him, but instead saw An Yu's face with tears streaming down her face.
