I insist

Chapter 513: Captured

"I can do it. All I did was to get revenge on them. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be in this situation now, and I wouldn't be bullied by the Emperor."

All of this is because of them. They have to pay the price for what they did. I'm just making them pay the price. You are my godfather, and you have to stand with me.

Why are you standing with them? Why can't you help me?

Liuli was on the verge of losing her mind; she shouted at the old eunuch.

The old eunuch was utterly helpless, never expecting that Liuli was beyond saving. He smiled bitterly and shut his mouth, while Liuli herself felt terrible.

But in order to achieve her goal, she had to harden her heart and say, word by word, "Take him away, treat him well, and don't let him suffer any injustice."

The old eunuch gave Liuli a deep look, couldn't help but sigh, and then followed the others.

At this moment, a battle report came from the front: Prince Jing had been captured. This caused panic among the people. General Mu led his army all the way here, and the people in the court were making a lot of noise.

"I didn't expect that even Prince Jing couldn't stop them. How powerful must they be? Is there anyone here more powerful than Prince Jing?"

“King Jing is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also adept at military strategy. None of us ministers can compare to him.”

"Are we just going to wait for those people to come? They're all remnants of the previous dynasty. If they really charge over, none of us can stop them."

Unfortunately, no one was willing to step forward and fight.

The emperor looked down at the officials below him. So many people, yet not a single one was willing to go out and fight. If the people knew this, they would laugh their heads off.

"Enough! This is the palace, a place to discuss state affairs, not the streets of the capital. What use are you if you can't even come up with a solution?"

The emperor's face darkened as he listened to the commotion among his officials, and his tone became increasingly unpleasant.

Upon hearing the Emperor's words, all the officials immediately shut their mouths and did not utter a single word.

Seeing that the crowd had finally quieted down, the Emperor spoke up, "Do you think it's better to send someone out to meet the enemy? You must give me an answer."

Upon hearing this, the officials began to discuss the matter again, but they could not reach a conclusion, and the court remained in chaos.

"Your Majesty, I believe that in order to deter the remnants of the previous dynasty, we must send someone of high status and position. His Highness the Crown Prince is the most suitable candidate."

The prime minister suddenly stood up and said in a humble yet assertive manner.

Upon hearing this, the sixth prince, who was standing to the side, immediately became nervous. He could be the crown prince, but he didn't want to go to the battlefield.

Before the Seventh Prince could refuse, the Emperor spoke first, saying, "I think the Grand General should be able to fight. He is the most suitable candidate. What do you all think?"

Upon hearing the emperor's words, the officials immediately quieted down.

The general the emperor spoke of was a retired general who was invincible in his youth, but he was now very old and had no other choice but to lead the expedition this time.

"The General's abilities far surpass those of Prince Jing. If the General were willing, the remnants of the previous dynasty would certainly not fare well. It seems we have nothing to worry about."

"Yes, as long as the General makes a move, we're guaranteed to win."

Just when the officials thought that the General would be able to resolve this matter, the eunuch who had gone to the General's mansion to deliver the decree returned and knelt on the ground, saying...

"Your Majesty, the General is ill and has not received the imperial decree."

Upon hearing this, all the officials were astonished and gaped in surprise. Only then did they realize that the matter was difficult to resolve, and that apart from the Grand General, there was no one else who could be sent.

"Why is the General sick at this time? What should we do? No one but the General can lead the expedition."

"What can we do? Send other people. Are we just going to do nothing and wait for them to attack us?"

The Emperor had not expected such a thing to happen. He closed his eyes and asked calmly, "My dear ministers, who else do you think is capable of leading the troops into battle?"

The officials looked at each other, none of them speaking first. After all, this was a very serious matter, and speaking ill of someone could offend them.

At this moment, the Prime Minister stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I believe the General's son is qualified to lead the troops into battle, after all, he is the General's son."

Having grown up surrounded by such influences, he must have learned a great deal from the general. If he were to lead troops into battle, he would likely be far more capable than others.

Upon hearing the Prime Minister's words, the Emperor slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the assembled officials and realized that the only one he could rely on now was the General's son.

"Do you also agree with what the Prime Minister said?" the Emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, we agree," all the officials said in unison.

The emperor saw that all the officials had agreed, so he had no choice but to send the general's son to fight.

It has been decided that the general's son will be chosen to fight.

Meanwhile, Yu Huailin also received the news. They didn't know much about the General's son, and after hearing it, Prince Jing frowned.

"I've never heard of this general's son. Is he some kind of powerful figure?" General Mu asked, frowning slightly.

Yu Huailin kept his eyes on Prince Jing, and seeing his furrowed brows, he knew that this general's son probably didn't have much ability.

"Now you see clearly, this court can't send out a single person without you, it's rotten to the core."

Yu Huailin gave a cold laugh.

Prince Jing glanced at Yu Huailin. Even if he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that what he said was true, after all, the facts were right in front of him.

"Alright, tell me, what are the abilities of this general's son?" Yu Huailin asked.

Prince Jing smiled awkwardly: "His abilities are quite good, and he hasn't disgraced the General's Mansion. However, he has a flaw: he's too stubborn."

You need to be prepared, but I really don't know just how capable he is. You should all be extremely cautious.

Yu Huailin thought about it seriously and said, "I understand. I've gotten some useful information."

Prince Jing nodded slightly. He looked outside, his heart filled with worry for Princess Jing and the child, wondering how they were doing.

"Are you worried about Princess Jing and the child? Wait a little longer, you'll be able to see them soon," Yu Huailin said softly.

Prince Jing nodded slightly: "I'm worried about what the Emperor might do to them. If what you say is true, and Liuli has taken control of the entire palace, she would have already made her move."

But Xiao Qi stopped her. She definitely wouldn't give up and would look for another opportunity to strike. If no one helped her, I really don't know what would have happened to her.

“Your worries are unnecessary. The Seventh Prince will definitely protect them,” Yu Huailin said.
