Chapter 88: Chapter 87: Forcing King Xin into a Deadly Situation_1

Eldest Princess held Bai Qingyan’s hand tightly, turned her head, and looked at several daughters-in-law with a calm gaze. She said, “The first daughter-in-law, you and the second and third daughters-in-law will manage the household! Take good care of the fourth and fifth daughters-in-law! Guard the Bai family well!”

Mrs. Dong suppressed her grief and bowed toward the Eldest Princess, “Mother, rest assured. With us in the household, there will be no chaos!”

The Emperor’s biological aunt, Eldest Princess, and her granddaughter, accompanied by the common people, walked to the palace gate.

“Let’s go! We will go too! Follow the Eldest Princess to file a complaint with the Emperor for justice for the hero!”

“Let’s go! Together!”

The people were furious.

...

Eldest Princess gripped the ebony cane in one hand and held Bai Qingyan’s hand firmly with the other, walking forward with determination. Her voice was as if it came from the depths of a bell: “Kid, in forcing King Xin to his death, you were too impatient, too hasty, too reckless! Do you not realize that you are forcing the Emperor to kill his only legitimate son? Are you not afraid… that the public sentiment and grievance, while killing King Xin, will also become a sharp blade stabbing into your heart?! Ultimately… Kid, you still do not trust me as your grandmother, do you?!”

She held her grandmother’s already withered and trembling hand tightly and said, “In Dadu City, over a hundred people are marching with me. The military record bamboo slips have been made public. If the Emperor of Jin dares not fear the public’s opinion and heart, he can take my head! I have fought for the Jin Kingdom, and I am gravely injured and cannot have children! My grandfather, father, uncles, and brothers all died in the southern frontier. Under the clear sky and bright sun, I bet the Emperor does not dare to kill me…”

“Kid, as a daughter of the Bai family, if you do not have the courage and determination of a hero to cut off your own wrist, how can you talk about revenge?”

Eldest Princess paused in her steps, closed her eyes briefly, then kept walking. Her voice trembled slightly: “Kid, when will you understand that the living are the most important?! Grandmother… cannot bear to lose any more of you!”

The Eldest Princess’s voice was frail; her deeply wrinkled skin showed brown spots, reflecting her disappointment and worry.

From a distance, the guards outside the palace gate saw the road piled with snow on both sides and suddenly saw a group walking towards the palace gate.

The scene was grand and attracted attention.

The guards at the gate were on high alert. Some ran back to the barracks to inform the gate commander. By the time the gate commander hurriedly dressed and came out of the barracks, Eldest Princess had already arrived in front of Wude Gate with Miss Bai, Bai Jinxiu, Bai Qiying, Bai Qishan, and a crowd of people, all in mourning clothes.

The gate commander stepped forward to salute the Eldest Princess. After straightening, he asked, “Respectfully greeting Eldest Princess, may I ask why you are here…”

Before the gate commander could finish, Bai Jinxiu took down a drumstick and vigorously struck the drum…

The centuries-old, rusted climbing drum outside the palace gate rang out, startling birds inside the palace to take flight.

Eldest Princess, holding the tiger head cane, knelt tremblingly outside the gate. The gate commander, scared, also knelt down.

“Where is that drum sound coming from?! I can’t even enjoy a tune in peace!” The Emperor was quite displeased. _{fгeewebnovёl.com}
