Chapter 549: Increase Tax

Guard One ran in excitedly and said excitedly, "Fourth Madam, the general and the others have attacked Lin'an City."

"Already?"

Guard One nodded excitedly. "Bai Li sent news that it was Young Master Zijin who instigated a group of imperial guards to open the city gate."

"What about the Second Prince?"

Guard One said regretfully, "Second Prince and Prime Minister Qin escaped from another city gate. Because of the West Xia cavalrymen's protection, they couldn't chase them to the end. However, if we successfully occupy Lin'an City, General can ascend the throne, right?"

"Wouldn't ascending the throne make him a target now? In my opinion, it's more important to quell the war first."

At this moment, Rong Xuan was also telling Qi Xiuyuan to quell the war before ascending the throne. Otherwise, if they occupied Lin'an City and ascended the throne, they would become the target of public criticism.
