Chapter 484
The old servant also kept sighing, âI donât know, either. The Senior General and the Masters in the front hall have already started arguing with the messengers. Senior Madam Xu was worried that Your Highness would be at risk, so she sent me to let Your Highness know a bit earlier and make some preparations.â
Mu Mingtang reacted suddenly, âNo wait, if Zhongshan City is ceded to Beirong, arenât I already exposed?â
1st Madam Xu also suddenly realised that Xie Xuanchen had left the Zhending Mansion, so Ye Luyan probably guessed that Mu Mingtang was no longer in Zhending and was probably in the towns of Zhongshan or Hejian. Therefore, Ye Luyan wanted these three places as soon as he could demand them. Taiyuan resisted for a long time and Ye Luyan would most likely have a grudge with them whereas Mu MIngtang was hidden in either Zhongshan or Hejian. Once these three places fall into the hands of Yeluyan, there would no longer be a barrier to the north of the Ye Dynasty and they would be almost entirely exposed to the Beirong people. Therefore, they would no longer be able to protect themselves. Not only that, but Ye Luyan would also be able to use Mu Mingtang to blackmail Xie Xuanchen to avenge King Dongdan.
Everyone looked at each other and there was a huge feeling of coldness behind their backs. 5th Madam Xu was impatient and walked out without saying much, âBring me my spear, Iâll kill those mutts!â
Mu Mingtang was horrified, knowing that they were coming for her. Everyone panicked for a moment and the maids hurriedly said, âYour Highness, what should we do? Shall we leave?â
âThereâs nowhere to go,â Mu Mingtang said with a serious face, âIf they dare to come to the backyard to search, how can they not have the residence surrounded by now? If we go out, we will fall into a trap.â
âWhat should we do? The back house is only so big, where else can we hide?â
Mu Mingtang also felt at a loss. Yes, she couldnât walk or hide, so where else could she go?
When 5th Madam Xu heard this, she immediately asked someone to get her the spear and said, âSince His Highness has left the Princess under the care of the Xu family, it means that he trusts our family. Even if I die in battle today, I will never let the mutts enter this door.âUppTodated from
