Chapter 185 Princess Zhaoyao
Afterwards, Dai Yan thought for a moment, and then decisively ordered: "Send another reliable person to pass the news that King Jing intends to rebel back to Li State."
"As ordered!"
Zuo Jue clasped his fists in acceptance of the order, then turned around and strode out of the room, leaving only the sound of light footsteps echoing in the air.
Dai Yan sat quietly in the room, her brows slightly furrowed, and her eyes deep and focused as she began to review the whole incident.
Time passed minute by minute, and just as she was about to come to a conclusion, a hint of doubt suddenly flashed through her mind - as if she had overlooked some important detail.
"Two days, two days later..."
She murmured softly, her voice so low that only she could hear it.
Suddenly, she realized that wasn't the annual Qiqiao Festival two days later?
According to convention, a grand banquet would definitely be held in the palace, and as a prince, how could Prince Jing miss such an occasion?
All the seemingly complicated clues seemed to have found a common thread at this moment, and everything seemed to be explained by this simple but crucial reason.
Two days later, Prince Jing will plot a rebellion!
Thinking of this, Dai Yan's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition instantly came to her mind.
If Prince Jing really launches a rebellion, how dangerous will my sister be in?
You know, my sister is a hostage in a foreign country. At that time, the monarch of the Northern Kingdom is likely to use my sister as a bargaining chip in negotiations with the Southern Kingdom.
They will observe whether Prince Jing has any feelings for Ajie. If Prince Jing has deep feelings for Ajie, he may be cautious for the sake of Ajie's safety.
But even if King Jing is cruel and ruthless, the King of the Northern Kingdom can still threaten Ajie's life and force Liguo to send troops to help.
In this way, the reason why the King of the Northern Kingdom detained Xiao Sheng before became clear.
——It was not because they noticed Li Guo’s spies, but because they had already planned to use Xiao Sheng to restrain Li Guo in order to achieve their ulterior motives.
The more Dai Yan thought about it, the more frightened she became, and a layer of fine beads of sweat had unknowingly seeped out of her forehead.
She knew very well that the next two days would be crucial and life-or-death moments for everyone.
Dai Yan quickly stood up, walked to the table with nimble movements, and began to grind the ink.
Her slender fingers tightly grasped the ink stick, turning it round and round.
"No matter what, this matter cannot be delayed! I must inform Ye Qin as soon as possible."
"We must have him lead his troops and rush to support us!"
Dai Yan murmured softly while speeding up the movements of her hands.
At this moment, various possible situations kept emerging in her mind.
If King Tianjing really sent troops, the Li Kingdom would surely follow closely behind him.
In this way, the situation is like a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it.
However, if King Jing did not send out his troops, he would have to order his troops to lie in ambush quietly, remain in place for the time being, and wait for the best opportunity to attack.
The matter of rescuing Xiaosheng is even more urgent and there can be no delay.
Dai Yan knew that time was running out, so she made up her mind to go and take the risk herself.
No matter how rugged and dangerous the road ahead is, she is not afraid, just to successfully rescue Xiaosheng.
Dai Yan carefully sealed the letter, called Zuo Jue, handed the letter to him solemnly, and instructed him to be sure to deliver it to General Ye Qin.
Afterwards, Dai Yan turned around and left in a hurry. She decided to sneak into the Western Suburbs Death Row again herself.
As night fell, Dai Yan, dressed in a black nightgown, moved like a ghost through the dense forest surrounding the death row in the western suburbs.
She carefully avoided the patrolling soldiers and finally found the place where Xiaosheng was imprisoned.
A small window for ventilation, through the window.
However, the scene before her was heartbreaking. Xiaosheng was tortured to the point of being covered in bruises and dying.
After determining the direction, you can sneak in better.
Through the small window, Dai Yan suppressed her grief, gently woke up Xiao Sheng, and told her that she would definitely rescue her.
Just then, footsteps were heard and Dai Yan quickly hid in the dark.
Dai Yan held her breath and watched the person coming nervously.
Several jailers came over, one of them cursed at Xiao Sheng and then kicked her hard.
Dai Yan was furious and wanted to rush in and teach those hateful jailers a lesson.
But she knew that now was not the right time, she had to be patient and wait for the right opportunity to take action.
After the jailer left, Dai Yan came to the window again and called Xiao Sheng softly.
Xiao Sheng opened his eyes with difficulty and saw Dai Yan, a relieved smile appeared on his face.
Dai Yan felt a pain in her heart, and became even more determined to rescue her.
Then there was another sound of light footsteps.
Dai Yan in the picture is once again hidden in the darkness.
I saw this woman appear in the cell. She was wearing a light blue long dress and her face was noble and lively.
…………
"It's her!" Shu Wanwan couldn't help but exclaim.
Before this, the two people who had been silent and just watching quietly from the side finally broke the silence by looking at the woman in the picture.
"Yes, it is indeed her."
Dai Yan, who witnessed this scene with Shu Wanwan, said softly.
It turned out that this was the mysterious woman who had appeared in Fan Yao's dream, and the one who claimed to be Shu Wanwan's aunt.
"How could it be her?"
Shu Wanwan was full of doubts and frowned. She really couldn't understand why she saw this woman in Yuchi Xiaosheng's cell.
"Who is she?"
Shu Wanwan couldn't wait to ask.
"She is the little princess of the Northern Kingdom and the younger sister of King Jing, born from the same mother. Her name is Lu Zhaoxue."
Dai Yan, who was standing nearby in a bright red dress, answered slowly.
"Prince Jing's sister? She's actually my aunt?"
Hearing this answer, Shu Wanwan felt her head buzzing instantly, and her entire mind fell into chaos for a moment.
Prince Jing's sister...
These words kept circling in her mind. The huge amount of information made her overwhelmed. She felt as if her brain had suddenly crashed and she was completely unable to think normally.
Everything makes sense now. Why does she feel that the man looks so familiar? Is it because he looks somewhat similar to Lu Zhaoxue?
Shu Wanwan wasn't sure if that was the case.
Shu Wanwan had never felt things so absurd as she did now. Everything seemed beyond her imagination.
…………
A woman in aqua blue squatted beside Xiao Sheng and called out softly, "Sister."
Then the woman covered Xiao Sheng with the cloak in her arms.
Lu Zhaoxue wiped Yuchi Xiaosheng's cheek with a handkerchief.
There seemed to be tears in his eyes.
It can be seen that she really feels sorry for Yuchi Xiaosheng.
"Princess Zhaoyao, visiting hours have come." A man who looked like a jailer came over respectfully to report.
The woman wiped the corners of her eyes, still looking at Yuchi Xiaosheng.
The voice was slightly different, gentleness replaced by a bit of majesty, giving people a sense of oppression that was no less than that of King Jing.
"Go out and wait."
"Yes."
The jailer, who was originally a little hesitant, had no choice but to retreat again after hearing Princess Zhaoyao's words.
In the end, the woman's handkerchief was stained with blood.
"Sister, don't worry, my brother will definitely rescue you."
After saying that, a flash of blue stood up, and the dying man spoke.
"Zhao Yao..." Yuchi Xiaosheng's voice was weak, and he stretched out his hand as if he was holding something.
Lu Zhaoxue immediately lowered his head and held Yuchi Xiaosheng's hand.
She was startled, and there was something extra in her palm.
Then, Yuchi Xiaosheng smiled and waved gently.
Lu Zhaoxue finally left the death row.
Watching Lu Zhaoxue leave, Dai Yan returned to the window again. This time, no matter how softly she called, her sister did not wake up to respond to her.
If you look closely, you can indeed hear faint breathing.
Dai Yan had no choice but to leave.
Back at Zuixianglou, Daiyan began to plan a plan to rescue Xiaosheng.
She carefully observed the layout of the death row and the guard change schedules, looking for the weakest link.
At the same time, she also prepared the necessary tools in case of emergency.
At night, Dai Yan led a small group of people and sneaked into the death row while the guards were changing shifts.
In order to avoid a fight, she ordered several people to ambush outside and only took three people with her.
She carefully avoided all the traps and came to Xiaosheng's cell.
