Yun Huachun was sitting in the living room of the space, holding a soup bowl and slurping noodles.

Seeing his wife and daughter coming in, Yun Huachun stood up quickly and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

The table was in a mess, with chopping boards, rolling pins, and flour scattered around.

Are there any dry noodles in this era?

When Yun Huachun wanted to eat noodles, he had to knead and roll them with his own hands. He didn't know how to knead noodles by hand, so he went to school on the way to escape.

Even after coming to the capital, he studied and understood the recipe of Lanzhou Ramen.

There were no vegetables in the space, so he cut half a piece of sweet potato, fried a poached egg, and cooked it with soy sauce, salt, and pickles. It was quite tasty.

"Dad, don't worry, just keep eating." Yuntao sat down on the sofa.

"We went to the palace and came in from the palace." Wan Hongmei added.

"Why did you enter the palace? What happened?"

Yuntao told what happened, and also told her own guess. Since the death of the late emperor, Xian'er had not taken any action. According to Yuntao's understanding of Xian'er, she would not be such a weak person.

So Yuntao felt that Qian'er might have some backup plans.

"Dad, what do you think?"

Yun Huachun had stayed in the court for so long, so he naturally knew some things that Yun Tao didn't know. Sometimes he had no time to mention these details to his wife and daughter, but in retrospect, there were still many things worth remembering.

"I do know one thing. After winning the war with the barbarians, His Majesty did not remember to dismiss the soldiers. A few months ago, before you came back, Your Majesty said that the army's expenses were too high and a group of people had to be dismissed.

I remember that more than 100,000 people were dismissed..."

"Your Majesty did not say this in court, but in private, with the household members and several generals."

Yuntao nodded after hearing this, maybe this was the backup plan His Majesty left for Zhan'er.

However, Yuntao is still a little worried.

The family discussed it for a while and came to a decision.

At that time, if the rebels come in, they will hide in the space and not rush to the secret passage.

If the situation cannot be alleviated, they will escape through a secret passage.

Yun Huachun picked up the noodle bowl and picked up a handful of noodles with chopsticks. When he was about to continue eating, he suddenly stopped and said, "There seems to be some movement outside."

"Why did I hear people crying and begging for mercy?" Yun Huachun said with his ears pricked up.

Yun Huachun had studied the space before entering. He could not enter while lying on the bed. He had to stand at the door to listen carefully to the sounds inside and outside.

At this moment, several unfamiliar voices sounded.

"It is true that I can't find Lord Yun, sir. I've searched all over this place, and I only have three feet left to dig!"

"Then dig this land for me!"

Yun Huachun listened for a while, not to mention whether this person was good or bad, why did he sound so unreliable?

"It seems like people are looking for me everywhere outside..." Yun Huachun said.

Yun Tao suddenly looked at Yun Huachun and said enigmatically, "Dad, the matter in the palace has been settled. You can go out again. Don't be in a hurry to go out now."

"Don't worry, can a man as big as your father not be able to take care of himself?" At this point, Yun Huachun's tone was inexplicably hollow. He actually sneaked out last night in the dead of night.

Yuntao looked away from the trash can on the side. There was some mud piled at the bottom of the trash can. Before going to bed yesterday, she came to the space to see what was not there. It must have been swept today.

Her father would not have dared to go out in broad daylight, and he must have thought that no one was around so he secretly took a look at it at night.

Yuntao didn't say this clearly, because once she brought this matter to the table, her mother would inevitably say a few words. At this time, there was no need to add such quarrels to ruin the mood.

——

At the inn about ten miles away.

Changsun Yingzheng and his subordinates were guarding the inn, waiting for orders from the capital.

When he received the news of the late emperor's death, he was so sad that he had no taste for food for several days. He hurriedly came to the capital. Thinking of the edict, he did not dare to enter the capital. He lost several pounds.

I can only take the personal guards around me and squat in this inn.

His father passed away, but he, the son, could not enter the city. Thinking of this, Changsun Ying was filled with grief.

Even though he was abandoned by his father and was no longer the current prince, recalling the time when his father taught him carefully over the years made him feel like a knife.

During these days of being exiled, Changsun Ying thought a lot. It would be better for him to be replaced by his own daughter than for the power to fall into the hands of other brothers.

He no longer counted on the family relationship between father and daughter. Now he only hoped that the child would be spared and let him in to see the late emperor.

So Changsun Ying waited anxiously in the post house.

But after waiting for a long time, he never received any news from the palace, neither rejecting him nor letting him leave.

Changsun Ying felt depressed.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!" the prince's chamberlain shouted from the corridor.

Changsun Ying stood up hurriedly, "How?"

The concubine happily walked into the gate and said to the eldest son Ying: "Your Highness, a large number of imperial guards from the capital are coming outside. The concubine has asked them to take us back to the palace!"

Changsun Ying cried with joy!

"Really?"

"How could I lie to His Highness? They are already guarding the gate of the courtyard." How could I lie to His Highness? They are already guarding the gate of the yard.

The official led Sun Ying to look at the people at the entrance of the courtyard.

After Changsun Ying saw it, he immediately recognized the clothes those people were wearing. They were the imperial guards that only the emperor could command.

Presumably, it was his eldest daughter who sent him.

Changsun Ying was both happy and panicked.

He took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked the chamberlain to tidy up his clothes before getting ready to leave.

Changsun Ying tried his best to maintain the prince's demeanor before and walked up to the crowd.

Everyone on the horse saw Chang Sun Ying exchanging glances.

"Are you the useless prince?"

As soon as these words came out, Changsun Ying's complexion turned white instantly.

"I am the deposed prince." Changsun Ying said trying hard to steady his body.

"Okay, I'll be here on the order of the Crown Princess to take the deposed prince on his way." Wen said with a chuckle to the soldier.

Changsun Ying looked at this group of people and was extremely dissatisfied.

As a member of the Royal Forest Army, why do you act so frivolously?

Even if he is the deposed prince, he is still a member of the royal family. How could the late emperor's eldest son be ignored and humiliated by the people in front of him?

But he thought that this was most likely an order from the eldest grandson. In order to humiliate his father and avenge his past.

"Since you are here to pick me up, why don't you prepare a car and a sedan?" Changsun Ying straightened his back and said with a slightly stunned look on his face.

Hearing this, the group of mounted guards laughed even louder.

"Hahahahahahahaha..."

Changsun Ying was shaking slightly with anger, and his eyes were red. The servant behind him even lowered his head, trembling.

"Since we are sending the abandoned prince on the road, why do we need a frame?"

Changsun Ying's face changed slightly after hearing this, and he just stretched out his finger to accuse them.

I saw the leading soldier raising the long sword in his hand and swinging it hard.

There was a sudden muffled sound, blood splashed on the horse, and the horse moved its hooves as if it was frightened.

A few drops of ink were added to the dark satin on the body of the chamberlain, and blood was even splashed into his eyes.
