Chapter 298 Let’s Leave the Capital
Bei Yao left after he finished speaking, without giving Xu Yuan a chance to speak.
When Xuyuan came to his senses, the door was already empty.
"Beiyao."
Xuyuan chased after him, but was stopped just as he stepped over the threshold.
"Miss Xu, the Third Master has told us not to let you go."
"The person you should stop is not me, but your young master."
She couldn't beat Master Qin.
If Master Qin doesn't give way, Xu Yuan won't be able to get out.
Therefore, Xu Yuan took a step back and said, "Do you want to watch your son commit suicide? He is my brother and does not need his help."
"The person the Third Master wants to save is not Zhang Yue, but you."
Gongzi Qin looked at Xu Yuan, his eyes full of sadness.
"Miss Xu, just think of it as doing it for the good of the Third Master. Tonight, follow his instructions and leave the capital."
"Why?" Xu Yuan didn't understand.
Master Tan sighed.
On the side, Chen Shan said: "Since you don't want to say it, let me say it."
"Zhang Yue broke into the palace today, not for the prince. He heard that something happened to you, so he rushed here in a hurry. At that time, the Imperial Guards were all outside the palace, and General Xie was also there. The Imperial Guards were not allowed to move without orders, but at that time, all the Imperial Guards were dispatched."
"No one reacted, and no one even cared about the prince's injuries. They only wanted to do one thing, to kill Zhang Yue."
"What do you mean?" Xu Yuan looked at Chen Shan in confusion and repeated, "You mean, my brother..."
"Mr. Zhang is fine." When Mr. Qin saw that Xu Yuan's expression was not right, he immediately said, "It was the Third Master who was injured in order to protect Mr. Zhang."
"How is your son?" Xu Yuan asked.
"I don't know either." Gongzi Qin shook his head.
Chen Shan said, "If it weren't for the Third Master, Zhang Yue would have died long ago, and he wouldn't have been put in jail. As for the Imperial Guards who took action, they were all selected into the Imperial Guards within the past month. There must be someone behind today's events, so the Third Master wants you to leave the capital as soon as possible."
"It is true that someone is setting up a plan to assassinate the crown prince. Regardless of whether the injustice I have stated is cleared or not, there is still a possibility that my entire clan will be implicated."
Xu Yuan laughed coldly, "What's more, it will take a month to go to the south and back. That person has been planning for more than a month."

Royal Palace
When Bei Yao arrived at the palace, Bei Yu was the only one in the bedroom.
Bei Yu is the most unique person in the Bei royal family.
In his eyes, no matter how great the power is, it is not as good as a harmonious family.
The prince was injured and countless people came to visit him, but only Emperor Bei Yu had been waiting from the beginning until now.
Hearing the footsteps, he didn't turn around and asked directly: "Yao'er, have you dealt with the affairs of your house?"
"Yes."
Bei Yao walked to Bei Yu's side, then looked at Bei Yuan who was lying on the bed.
Bei Yu said: "You are not here to visit your brother now, right? If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
Bei Yu paused after he finished speaking and added: "Except for letting Zhang Yue go."
"I will definitely save Zhang Yue."
"Beiyao, if the arrow had missed by an inch, your brother would have died. Even so, would you still save Zhang Yue? What is so good about him that is worth your worry?"
This is the first time I heard the name Zhang Yue.
It’s on the list of merits.
The credit for forming an alliance with Geshu should definitely go to the main general Xie Xiaocheng.
But Xie Xiaocheng pushed it to Zhang Yue.
Afterwards, the task of going south to suppress the bandits was naturally handed over to Zhang Yue.
Bei Yu had thought that someone was behind this.
But no matter who goes to suppress the bandits, as long as the bandits are eliminated and the people are no longer in panic, it doesn't matter who is used.
Bei Yu turned a blind eye and promised Zhang Yue a bright future.
But he didn't expect it.
The one who came back from the south was not the general who pacified the bandits, but the traitor who assassinated his son.
If Zhang Yue had not been thrown into prison, Bei Yu would have killed Zhang Yue on the spot to serve as a warning to others.
"Whether Zhang Yue is a good person or not, I don't know. I just can't stand by and watch my father being used by someone with ulterior motives."
"I am only concerned about your brother's injury now. I don't want to know anything else."
The emperor looked back at Bei Yuan, his eyes softened a little, "There is a banquet in your mansion tonight. The prince is unconscious, and I have no intention of going to the banquet. You are my son, please entertain Goshu Khan on my behalf."
"Father has no intention of being a wise ruler, but he won't be a tyrant either, right?"
Bei Yao looked at the emperor's obviously changed expression and continued, "With your personality, if I were your grandfather, I would not be at ease handing over the world to you."
"Beiyao." Beiyu looked at Beiyao with an imperial aura, "Have I spoiled you over the years? How dare you say such things?!"
"The fact that my father's first reaction was to question rather than hold him accountable has already explained the answer."
Bei Yao looked at Bei Yu and said slowly, "Father has been in office for more than ten years. Although he has made no mistakes, he has also made no achievements. The Prime Minister is in control of all the important affairs in the court. He looks like the next Xu family. The Xu family is unaware of their injustice, nor of the arrival of Geshu Khan. He even didn't notice that the Crown Prince was planning a rebellion. Hasn't Father ever thought about his own problems?"
Beiyao asked back.
"Ridiculous!" Bei Yu scolded, "Bei Yao, are you trying to rebel against the heaven?"
Beiyu has been listening to these words since this morning, and has been listening to them all morning.
He really doesn't have any big ideals or ambitions.
But this matter is not Xuyuan's turn to talk about, let alone Beiyao's turn.
Besides, what did Beiyao mean by that sentence?
What you mean is that everyone in the world knows that the prince is planning a rebellion, but he is the only one who doesn't know?
It's ridiculous!
"I just said a few words that were extremely treasonous. I was rebelling against heaven. My brother bought and sold weapons, embezzled food and grass, sold private salt, and colluded with foreign countries to rebel, but he did not receive any punishment. Father, do you think this is right?"
"Treason is a serious crime. You want me to kill my own son. How can I bear to do this?" Bei Yu said, and then slowly advised: "Bei Yao, he is your elder brother. You brothers should help each other."
"When the emperor said this, it reminded me of another thing."
Bei Yao turned around, looked at the green trees sprouting outside the window, and his voice became fainter.
"Father, do you know why I would help make a wish?"
Bei Yu shook his head.
"Half a year ago, a batch of tributes sent from Hanzhou to the capital were lost. Among them were gifts for my mother. For this reason, I traveled thousands of miles to Sishui County. It was there that I nearly lost my life."
Bei Yao raised his hand, unbuttoned his clothes, and revealed the hideous wound on his chest: "It is here, that arrow pierced my heart. If it were not for Xu Yuan's rescue, I would have died in the desert long ago."
"The grace of saving my life should indeed be repaid. Tomorrow, I will confer the title of Xuyuan. You don't have to ask for grace for her."
Bei Yao smiled lightly, "Father, this is not what I want to say."
"What is that?" Bei Yu didn't know.
"The one who hunted down my son was a killer from Zhuifeng Hall, and the one who paid a large sum of money to buy my son's life in Zhuifeng Hall was the crown prince."
Bei Yao looked at Bei Yuan, who was lying on the bed and whose breathing was visibly stagnant, and continued, "Father, is this what you call helping each other?"
