Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 624

Chapter 624: 621 Chapter: Killing Two Birds with One Stone_1

"Master Tan must be completely kept in the dark by the Crown Prince. After all... the Crown Prince is the heir to the throne! When the Monarch has an incident... who else could we rely on but the Crown Prince!" Zhong Shaozhong said.

Zhong Shaozhong’s remarks seemed less aggressive in maligning everyone around the Crown Prince. However, this made others believe him even more, nodding their heads in agreement.

"Originally, I planned to act during King Liang’s wedding. But now it seems impossible! Everyone... there’s no day like today. Let’s break into the palace today and save His Majesty and the Empress!" Zhong Shaozhong made up his mind, his eyes filled with determination.

Someone walked to the window, gently pushed it open, and glanced downstairs. Seeing the Patrol Camp fully surrounding the brothel, he said, "But right now, the Patrol Camp has surrounded the brothel. How can our small number of people break out?!"

"General Bi Heng..." Zhong Shaozhong looked at his old subordinate and said, "After we go downstairs, find a way to leave the brothel, bring the imperial guard to the Court of Judicial Review... force Lu Jin to either release the people or explain why they are detained!"

"Yes! Rest assured, my lord!" Bi Heng clasped his hands and affirmed.

"The safety of His Majesty and the Empress depends entirely on General Bi Heng!" Zhong Shaozhong firmly grasped Bi Heng’s hand.

In no time, Zhong Shaozhong and his group were fully dressed and came out from the front door of the brothel.

As promised, Fan Yuhuai had arranged for some carriages. Although simple, it was better than nothing.

Zhong Shaozhong smiled at Fan Yuhuai and got into separate carriages with the imperial guards.

Fan Yuhuai mounted his horse in one leap, shouted, "Let’s go!"

Bai Qingyan had just dozed off when she heard faint footsteps outside the window. She opened her eyes, quickly put on an outer robe, and got up.

The night watch Chun Tao was startled awake, stood up, and was about to take the lamp at the end of the bed to call her. But Bai Qingyan made a silent gesture.

"Mistress!"

Hearing her voice, Bai Qingyan signaled Chun Tao to hand her the lamp, slightly pushing open the window.

The yellowish candlelight in her hand outlined her delicate jawline, the light reflecting in her deep, dark eyes, showing no warmth.

The Hidden Guard knelt on one knee beneath the window, head lowered. "Mistress, Zhong Shaozhong and his group were taken to the Court of Judicial Review by Fan Yuhuai, the leader of the Patrol Camp. But after Fan Yuhuai left, I personally saw someone exiting Zhong Shaozhong’s private room, escaping across the eaves. I also saw the Crown Prince’s men noticing this. Strangely enough... although the Crown Prince knew some people were missing after the Patrol Camp took them, he said nothing and returned to his manor."

"Alright, I understand. You may retreat now!" Bai Qingyan responded.

After the Hidden Guard left, Bai Qingyan closed the window.

Chun Tao took small steps forward. "Young miss, has something major happened again?"

A fish slipped through the net, yet the Crown Prince did not react. It seemed... the Crown Prince wanted the rebellion plot against King Xin to be solidified, leaving King Xin no way out.

Therefore, conflict between the Crown Prince and King Xin was inevitable. This might lead to a clash between the Patrol Camp and the imperial guard first, with King Liang making an appearance later.
