I’ll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law-Chapter 476
If the imperial edict had merely asked them to let Ye Luji go, they would be at the border anyway and in the worst case scenario, they could find another opportunity later. But the Emperor had asked Xie Xuanchen to hand over military power…Wasn’t this too much?
Even Xu Qilang was extremely infuriated upon hearing this, let alone the people on Xie Xuanchen’s side? Senior General Xu also let out a long sigh with worry in his tone, “I don’t know either.”
This kind of matter was a sensitive one, especially since Xie Xuanchen’s identity involved the struggle for imperial power between two generations. The Xu family was just an ordinary military family, so they must be respectful when meeting civil servants. What’s more, when it came to such a sensitive matter as the inheritance of imperial power? General Xu didn’t dare to ask any more questions. He suppressed his thoughts and warned his son again, “His Highness Prince An said in the letter that Her Highness Princess An may come in a few days. Go home and restrain the bastards from causing a ruckus, lest the Princess comes and see you all fooling around.”
Xu Qilang was startled when he heard this, “Princess An is coming?”
Xie Xuanchen was determined to bring the Princess out of the capital despite being scolded by thousands of people for being unfaithful and unfilial. After that, he kept guarding the Princess carefully throughout the entire way north. Everyone was not blind to see how much Xie Xuanchen cares about his Princess, but why did he suddenly decide to send Her Highness to them now?
What did he intend to do?
Senior General Xu shook his head and said, “Don’t ask or think too much about irrelevant things. What happens to His Highness Prince An is beyond our control. His willingness to send the Princess to us shows his immense trust in us. You can go home and tell your mother and your sisters-in-law to clean up the house and prepare supplies for Her Highness. Don’t ask any unnecessary questions.”
Xu Qilang accepted the order and left. Senior General Xu sighed deeply as he thought of the situation outside.
Powerful enemies were surrounding the country and there were both natural and man-made disasters. However, the imperial court was still busy with party disputes, guarding against military men while trying to seize every possible bit of power every day. When would there be a truly stable court?
In fact, for Xie Xuanchen, from the moment he heard the messenger asking him to hand over his military power, he regarded this entire order as blasphemy.
Letting Xie Xuanchen let go of his prey was already crossing the line. It was impossible to expect Xie Xuanchen to obediently hand over his military power.
There was a lot of chaos in the Zhending Residence as everyone was busy packing their bags. Xie Xuanchen had ordered his troops to assemble and set out on time early morning tomorrow to head south and provide support to the capital.
The reason why we set off tomorrow instead of immediately was actually because of Mu Mingtang. Xie Xuanchen had to march in a hurry, so it would be inappropriate to take her with him. He was worried about leaving Mu Mingtang alone in the Zhending Residence. After much thought, he finally decided to send Mu Mingtang to Zhongshan City.
