Chapter 1903: Escape!
While Yuwen Xuhong was still in a daze, his personal guard and butler said anxiously,” Your Highness, let’s escape!”
Yuwen Xuhong was a little hesitant when he heard this suggestion!
Although the situation in the palace was somewhat unclear, the fact that Imperial Grandfather had suddenly sent people to surround the Imperial Grandprince Manor must have been because he had received some kind of news.
Moreover, what they had done seemed to be targeting Lin Yuelan on the surface. However, if one were to look into it carefully, it was also a treasonous act.
However, what was more serious than treason was betrayal.
Therefore, Imperial Grandfather would definitely not let him off easily.
“The imperial edict has arrived!”
Just as Yuwen Xuhong was hesitating, a voice came from outside.
Yuwen Xuhong’s expression changed abruptly, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He seemed to be very hesitant and uneasy.
“Your Highness, it’s almost too late. Hurry up and escape!” The butler hurriedly advised.
“As long as there’s life, there’s hope! Your Highness, hurry up and escape!” The guard knelt down and begged.
“I…” Although Yuwen Xuhong was ruthless, he still had his wife and children in the Imperial Grandprince Manor. If he escaped, they could not escape.
” Your Highness,” a woman’s voice called out at this moment. Yuwen Xuhong looked over and saw the Imperial Grandprince Consort, Ye Jing, come over and say,” Don’t worry about us, you…Hurry up and run!”
Although Ye Jing had no idea what Yuwen Xuhong had done, she could guess some of them.
If this treasonous act failed, it would implicate countless people, especially his wife and children.
However, she loved him, so she was willing to sacrifice herself for him.
Ye Jing knelt down and begged,” Your Highness, please leave quickly. Let’s be husband and wife again in our next life!”
Yuwen Xuhong was a little moved at this moment, but he finally glanced at Ye Jing, gritted his teeth, and rushed into the study.
This was because the study was connected to a secret passage.
“The imperial edict has arrived. Please receive it, Your Highness!” The eunuch who delivered the decree had already come over, but he could not find Yuwen Xuhong. His expression was somewhat serious,” Where is His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson?”
When he saw the imperial consort and the butler, he was very puzzled.” Your Highness, please come out to receive the imperial edict!”
Seeing Yuwen Xuhong leave, the three of them heaved a sigh of relief.
Ye Jing smiled and said,” Eunuch, His Highness has something on and has yet to return. What can I do for you? How about I pass on the message to His Highness?”
“What?” Who knew that when the eunuch heard this, his expression turned stern, and he shouted,” Search for me!”
Ye Jing’s expression also changed. She shouted sternly,” Eunuch, what do you mean? This is the Imperial Grandprince Manor. How can an eunuch like you be impudent?”
The eunuch snorted in disdain.” Hmph, so what if it’s the Imperial Grandprince Manor? His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, committed the crime of treason and betrayal, and His Majesty is issuing an order to arrest him. Imperial Grandprince Concubine, where is the Imperial Grandprince?”
Although she had all the guesses in her heart, Ye Jing’s eyes still darkened when she heard this answer.
She knew that the Imperial Grandprince Manor could no longer escape.
But at the same time, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as the eldest Grandprince escaped.
Ye Jing did not reply to the eunuch.
Commander Lin also ordered a search.
“Search! We can’t let go of any place!” Commander Lin shouted sternly.
Hiding in the secret passage, Yuwen Xuhong could clearly hear everything that happened outside.
He clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes were filled with hatred. He said angrily,” I will take everything back one day!”
After saying that, he turned around and walked to the other end of the secret passage.
After an unknown amount of time, he saw the light and was secretly excited.
As long as he walked out of the secret passage, he could escape.
Then, he quickened his pace.
However, just as he was about to reach the door before he could react, he heard a voice.” Your Highness, I have been waiting for you for a long time!”
