Chapter 1534: Nowhere to Turn for Help
After she came out, even Ming Qian, this steady personal maidservant of hers, had disappeared. It was obvious that something serious had happened to this family.
“Commandery Princess, there are royal notices pasted up everywhere on the streets. Last night, the Vassal King of An’nan and the Vassal Prince Chou Fu colluded with the Shu Family and the eldest prince in rebellion to force the king’s abdication. Right now, they have already been captured by His Highness the Crown Prince and His Twelfth Highness and have been imprisoned in the Highest Judiciary. Without royal decree, no one can visit.”
Commandery Princess Yi’an’s eyes bulged. “What? Then? Then how, how about me?”
The maidservant Xu’er burst out in tears. “My lady, you and I are now fugitives. Our wanted circulars are all over the streets. They say that we have absconded to avoid punishment, which puts us at greater fault! If we resist during capture, we will be killed on the spot.”
*Flump!* Commandery Princess Yi’an went weak at the knees and plopped into her chair. She shook her head repeatedly as she rambled, “Impossible, impossible. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager wouldn’t be this merciless. She must not know about this! I-I want to enter the palace. I want to see the queen dowager. I want to see the queen dowager and tell her that I simply had no knowledge of what the Vassal King of An’nan’s Estate was planning!”
“Commandery Princess, do not be foolish! How would Her Majesty the Queen Dowager be unaware when these wanted circulars have been pasted all over the streets? If she had the heart to help you, then she would have long had people remove the circulars, right.”
“Ah!” Commandery Princess Yi’an smacked the table next to her with her palm. “It has only been several days since I married into the Vassal King of An’nan’s Estate. Why should I have to shoulder this burden? Why!!”
Xu’er urged while wiping her tears, “My lady, it is not time for us to discuss this. We should quickly return to our rooms and see what we can pack up. After packing up, let’s hurry up and leave!”
“We can no longer stay in the Mo Kingdom capital. We have to escape and flee far away!”
“No, I won’t flee!!” Commandery Princess Yi’an shouted furiously, “I want to enter the palace! I want to meet the queen dowager! I must explain this incident clearly to her. I have accompanied the queen dowager for so many years. She is perfectly clear about my moral character! Why should I be buried with those bunch of fools from the Vassal King of An’nan’s Estate like a stray dog? I want to divorce the Vassal Prince of An’nan. I don’t have the slightest bit of relation to him!”
Yet by now, Xu’er was agitated and restless. “Commandery Princess! What can you say about this incident? Do not forget, you are indeed the Vassal Prince Consort of An’nan! The king has even imprisoned the vassal prince’s 18 concubines, let alone you? The Vassal Prince of An’nan’s legal wife.”
“Moreover, how can you refute this incident? The Vassal King of An’nan and his son have truly rebelled. At present, they plus the old vassal king consort are all in prison. The moment you show yourself, you’ll immediately be captured and put to death before you can even dispute!”
Yi’an slumped to her chair and bawled frenziedly, “What have I done wrong? What exactly have I done wrong? Why are the Heavens treating me this way! I had never wanted to become this Vassal Prince Consort of An’nan from beginning to end! Why is my life just so bitter.”
Yi’an was still weeping, but Xu’er grabbed her arm and pulled her up from the chair. “Let us go, Commandery Princess Yi’an. What are you still crying for right now. If you continue crying, we will really run out of time.”
Yi’an was actually not as resolute as her young maidservant in this moment of life and death.
After the master and servant duo ran back to their quarters, they nearly died from anger.
They were so incensed that they were basically hovering between life and death.
