  Chapter 563 Evacuation (one more)

  Ye Xiang paced back and forth in the study.

   Still angry, he pointed at Ye Guixue and said, "If something happens to the king, the Nangong family finds and kills him, and the princess is not the opponent of the Nangong family and King Liu'an, what should we do at Yexiang Mansion?"

   "The princess will not be the opponent of the Nangong family and the king of Liu'an." Ye Guixue affirmed: "The princess has Daliang as her backing, she is very talented and extremely intelligent. She can help the prince of Daliang break the long-standing dilemma, help Daliang defend Nanping, put an end to Zhangping's rebellion, and force Prince Yuanzhao of the Great Wei to retreat. Then he can eradicate the forces of the Nangong family and the king of Liu'an, and secure the throne."

  Yexiang choked, and couldn't help doubting, "Is it really possible?"

"able."

  Ye Xiang's mood gradually calmed down, "You believe her."

  He said again in a deep voice: "Your Majesty left the palace privately and disappeared. If someone finds out tomorrow, there will definitely be a tough battle to fight."

  Ye Guixue said: "Before leaving, Zhou Gu suggested that Ruo Nangong's family was in a hurry, and they really mobilized troops. He suggested that Ye Xiang's house should not be head-on."

  He considered and said: "Father, please come here, let's discuss it. It is best to send mother and relatives of the Ye clan to the army!"

  Ye Xiang almost couldn't catch his breath again, "You mean, everyone in Ye Xiang's mansion also ran away?"

  Ye Guixue coughed lightly, "Yes."

  Ye Xiang was almost suffocated, "Isn't it a joke to be spread?"

   It seems that his Ye Xiangfu is afraid of the Nangong family.

  Ye Guixue said solemnly: "Father, it is the best policy to preserve our strength and not to make unnecessary sacrifices. We stand up in blood, causing casualties to make the king's capital stained with blood and bones piled into mountains. Is it right? No matter how hard we try, it will be in vain if the princess does not come. Only the queen and the king are safe, and our Yexiang Palace preserves our strength. Once the princess returns, we can better support her, and the Yexiang Palace will not lose too much at that time."

  Ye Xiang choked, and suddenly felt that what Ye Guixue said seemed quite reasonable.

  He was struggling between being laughed at and preserving his strength. He was silent for a while before calling out to the outside of the study, "Come here, go and call the eldest son."

  Ye Guiyan was stabbed by Miss Nangong's family on the day of his wedding. He was seriously injured. He has been recuperating from his wounds. He hasn't recovered yet, but he has been able to get out of bed and walk around. When he heard Ye Xiang call him, he immediately came to the study.

  Ye Guixue saw Ye Guiyan and called out, "Brother."

  Ye Guiyan nodded, "Second brother."

  Ye Xiang looked at Ye Guiyan, and said to him: "I called you to ask you, do you think your brother's suggestion is feasible?"

  Ye Gui said: "Father, please tell me."

  Thus, Prime Minister Ye Guixue made the decision privately, and reached an agreement with Zhou Gu to secretly take King Nanchu out of the royal palace, and suggested that they also leave the Prime Minister's Mansion together to go to the army, and briefly talked to Ye Guixue.

  Ye Guiyan was surprised after hearing this, "Your Majesty has left the capital?"

  Ye Guixue nodded.

  Ye Guiyan digested the shocking news for a while, and then slowly said: "Father, what the second brother said is not unreasonable, and the son agrees with what the second brother said."

  Ye Xiang pointed at him, "Since you were young, you have been partial to your brother. You agree with everything he says."

  Ye Guiyan smiled helplessly, "Father, what the second brother said has always been reasonable, so I have no choice but to believe him. Now the matter is clear. After the king left, our Ye Xiangfu will have no chance of winning against the Nangong family and King Liu'an with our own strength. If this is the case, why not protect ourselves? Wait for the return of the princess?"

   Yexiang sighed, "Okay, since you said the same thing, let's do it!"

  Ye Guixue saw that her father and brother agreed, and said: "It's better sooner than later, father, brother, according to what I said, it's better to clean up tonight, and leave when the city gate opens early tomorrow morning! It also prevents you from going up tomorrow morning and getting your head broken."

   "Okay!" Ye Xiang thought of Nangong Yin and Liu'an Wang's livid faces when he learned that the king and their family were no longer in the capital, and immediately felt that this was a good idea, as if it wasn't a joke.

  So, after the father and son agreed, they started to act that night.

  The actions of the Yexiang Mansion are secretive and quiet. Everyone travels lightly, except for important things. Therefore, after a night of preparation, when the city gate opened in the early morning of the second day, the Yexiang Mansion had all evacuated from the capital.

  At the same time, it was the time of the early court. Nangong Yin and the civil and military officials headed by King Liu'an were all waiting for the early court.

  Ye Guixue's 100,000 troops transferred to Wangdu were 30 miles away from the capital, so, soon, Ye Xiangfu's family arrived at the 100,000 soldiers' barracks.

  After Ye Guixue arrived at the barracks, she directly ordered to pull out the camp, leave the capital, and march towards the border of Daliang.

  When someone sent the news that Ye Xiangfu had left the city in several carriages, when Nangong Yin and King Liu'an got the news at the same time, their expressions were filled with doubts. Only then did they realize that in the early court, the father and son of the Ye family did not go to court today.

   Nangong Yin felt that something was wrong, and immediately ordered people, "What is Yexiang's mansion doing? Let Benhou find out quickly."

  The subordinate took the order and went to investigate immediately.

  King Liu'an walked up to Nangong Yin at this time, "It's already past time, why hasn't your majesty come yet? It's late today."

  Your Majesty has not done much in these years, but he has never missed the early court. This is the first time.

   "Send someone to ask." Nangong led.

   "I have sent people there, I was thinking, should we go and have a look?" King Liu'an felt uneasy, especially the unusual situation of the Yexiang Mansion today, which made him even more uneasy.

  Ye Xiang can’t be shaken by thunder, he must go to court every day, Ye Gui said that it’s fine if he can’t go to court because of his injuries, but Ye Guixue shouldn’t see him either.

   "Okay, let's go." Nangong Yinxin also felt that today was unusual.

  So, the two brought several courtiers and hurried to the Southern Chu King's bedroom.

  In the palace of Southern Chu, it was very quiet. Li He guarded it day and night, but finally no one noticed that the king was no longer in the palace. He consciously completed the task. Knowing that after the court this morning, he would definitely not be able to hide it. He took out the fake death medicine he had prepared for himself and swallowed it.

  So, when Nangong Yin and King Liu'an brought people to the bedroom of King Nanchu, they found that there was no one waiting on them, and the whole bedroom was extremely quiet.

  Nan Gongyin called "Your Majesty" twice, but no one answered. He gritted his teeth and stepped forward, pushing open the door of the hall. There was no one in the hall, and the bed was covered with curtains, so he couldn't see what was going on inside.

  Nan Gongyin and King Liu'an looked at each other, and they stepped forward together, and when they came to the curtain, one of them stretched out his hand, pulled a corner of the curtain, and pulled the curtain away with a whimper, only to see that the bedding was neat and there was no trace of sleeping.

  The King of Southern Chu is not in the palace.

  Nan Gongyin's face sank, "Come on, where did the king go? Who will tell this Marquis?"

  No one could tell him, because Li He was stabbed twice for fear of feigning death, so naturally it was impossible to feign death in the king's palace. Before the king left, he also confessed that in order to avoid being affected, everyone left his bedroom early this day.
