Upon hearing this, Zhao Kun spoke up in surprise.
"Where did you hear that, sister? There's no such rule in the imperial court."
Huh? Is there a mistake?
After all these years, who would remember the details?
Tang Yu only remembered that the Song and Ming dynasties became increasingly feudal and harsh on women, and it seemed that the imperial sons-in-law later lost their rights.
"Maybe I'm mistaken."
No sooner had these words been spoken than the siblings continued walking through the covered walkway when a sudden burst of murderous intent exploded in the air!
The two maids carrying the plates suddenly pulled out a sharp sword and attacked Tang Yu and Zhao Kun directly!
Tang Yu's expression changed. She pushed Zhao Kun back and flew forward, kicking both of them to their feet.
"Come here, there's an assassin!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a group of guards rushed over, but Tang Yu clearly felt arrows flying through the air.
She leaped up and kicked away the incoming arrow, only to see someone on the distant wall turn and run away.
Tang Yu almost ran after them, but then she thought it might be a diversionary tactic. She figured she could always find someone later!
The banquet was abruptly halted by the assassination attempt, causing widespread panic in Bianjing and enraging the emperor.
After returning to the palace, Tang Yu quietly went out that night.
If the investigation were conducted at the pace set by those officials, it would be incredibly slow; it would be better for her to find the person herself.
It's been a long time since I've used my own strength.
After communicating with the plant, Tang Yu found it somewhat amusing. The officials in Kyoto were truly a bunch of good-for-nothings; the other party had actually infiltrated the Imperial Academy!
That night, Tang Yu quietly went to the Imperial Academy, intending to go directly to the spy's dormitory, but for some reason, someone discovered her.
Then, Tang Yu was forced to fight with someone, and it looked like it was about to attract the attention of outsiders.
"Wang Kuan, isn't that you? Stop hitting me!"
The indistinct facial features reminded Tang Yu of distant memories. Fearing that she would attract more people, Tang Yu quickly untied the veil covering her face.
"Princess, what brings you here? It's already past midnight!"
Wang Kuan quickly recognized the person in front of him, and he was quite surprised.
The reason he didn't sleep tonight was because he realized that someone at the Imperial Academy had a questionable identity.
In addition to the assassination attempt on the Crown Prince today, Wang Kuan naturally spent the entire night paying close attention to the outside world.
"I might as well tell you. An assassin escaped today, and I suspect he's in the Imperial Academy. And what about you? I almost poisoned you just now."
If Tang Yu hadn't recognized the other person's facial features, his solution would have been to poison them and make them collapse.
However, Wang Kuan's character was still trustworthy, which is why she was willing to inquire about him.
“Princess, your actions today are far too risky; you shouldn’t have come!”
However, the person the princess was looking for is probably the same person I noticed today, and I'm also paying attention to him.
I suspect he'll be meeting with someone behind the scenes tonight. Princess, perhaps you should wait a little longer; it's best not to alert him now.
After Wang Kuan said that, Tang Yu also thought that they could lure the snake out of its hole and see who the big fish behind it was.
After all, they were able to plant spies within the Imperial Academy.
However, after the two secretly followed him for a long time, the spy quietly slipped into the Imperial Academy's storeroom.
Then, this person actually dug a hole in the ground and pulled out several iron ball bombs, preparing to detonate them!
"No, he's destroying evidence!"
"Don't rush forward, it's dangerous!"
Wang Kuan gripped Tang Yu's hand tightly, while Tang Yu wanted to roll her eyes at the sky.
Does she look like she's trying to rush towards the bomb? She just wants to stop it from exploding!
Therefore, Tang Yu used his divine soul power to directly prevent the flames from igniting and froze the spy in place, unable to move.
However, immediately afterward, several loud claps of thunder rang out in the night sky.
Tang Yu was blown up and coughed up several mouthfuls of blood.
Damn it, the Heavenly Dao is preventing her from using power that doesn't conform to the rules!
Wang Kuan, standing to the side, stared at Tang Yu in shock, while Tang Yu laughed and spat out two mouthfuls of blood.
"If I said it was an accident, would you believe me?"

Regarding the incident of vomiting blood due to thunder, the two of them naturally didn't have the energy to discuss the cause at the moment.
Because something more important happened: an explosion occurred in another part of the Imperial Academy.
There are still people here!
"What's going on? What's hidden inside the Imperial Academy?"
Tang Yu was speechless, but she could no longer interrogate the prisoner on the spot, because the entire Imperial Academy was in an uproar, and footsteps could be heard everywhere.
"Princess, the situation is very serious. We should immediately notify the Imperial City Guard to arrest the criminal. There may be something else inside this house!"
This room must be guarded as soon as possible to prevent any further accidents.
Tang Yu looked at his night clothes with a slight sense of speechlessness.
"How do you think I should explain my presence here today?"
Wang Kuan: "Princess, leave here immediately. I will guard the prisoners."
These words made Tang Yu smile instantly.
"Don't you never lie?"
"If anyone arrives later, I will say that I discovered this spy tonight. I just didn't say that the princess and I discovered him together, so it's not a lie."
Tang Yu thought for a moment, then stepped closer to the spy and secretly inserted a flower petal into his ear so that he would not mention her presence.
Then, she pulled out the rope she had been hiding on her body and handed it to Wang Kuan.
This was originally the rope she planned to use to tie up prisoners.
"Kick him now, and then tie him up."
When someone arrives and asks what happened, just say that you kicked the prisoner before tying him up, and then you're leaving.
After saying this, Tang Yu turned to leave, and Wang Kuan subconsciously asked a question.
"Princess, you've vomited blood several times recently. Has that affected your health?"
Tang Yu gave an awkward yet polite smile.
"It has no impact, please forget about it."
After saying this, Tang Yu flew away without hesitation.
Seeing this, Wang Kuan waited until he could no longer see the figure before immediately notifying someone to come over.
The city of Bianjing was naturally in chaos that night.
After daybreak, the emperor of the Song Dynasty did not attend court, but instead ordered the Imperial City Guard to arrest all suspects and imprison them!
All the gates of Bianjing City were closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
Because of the special status of the criminal arrested yesterday, everyone connected with him must now be arrested!
Tang Yu, being confined to the inner palace, naturally could not immediately receive news from the outside world.
Moreover, she vomited blood twice, although she could actually recover quickly.
But perhaps it was a warning from God, because Tang Yu felt very tired.
Thus, Tang Yu gained experience.
She can actually use her own power, and the Heavenly Dao cannot dispel it. However, if something that exceeds the rules of this world appears, the Heavenly Dao will warn her.
For example, she could conjure a peach out of thin air, but Heaven would immediately strike her with lightning as a warning.
Therefore, it is clear that there are no gods or ghosts in this world, so she naturally cannot use this power.
However, Heaven's will is a bit funny. If she uses it secretly and no one sees it, it won't have much of an impact. But if someone sees it, she will be struck by lightning immediately.
It's as if she's afraid the world will be misled by her; she really doesn't have such great ambitions.
"Princess, the Crown Prince has arrived."
A palace maid came to report the news, and Tang Yu immediately became interested; there must be some news.
"The truth has been uncovered. What was hidden inside? And who was that person?"
After a barrage of questions, Zhao Kun picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and then began to explain what had happened yesterday.
"Sister, the person who was captured is named Cui Jun. He is the eldest son of the Vice Minister of Works, born out of wedlock. He grew up in his hometown and suffered some hardships. He harbors extreme resentment towards his father and stepmother, so he accepted the recruitment of the Western Xia and became a spy."
After arriving in Bianjing last year, Cui Jun was sent to the Imperial Academy by his father, who originally intended to cultivate his son. However, Cui Jun secretly stole secrets from the Ministry of Works and transmitted all the information to Western Xia.
At this point, Zhao Kun sighed.
"The imperial court is in utter chaos these days!"
"We'll talk about this later. You haven't finished yet. Now that we've found out who this person is, why did they try to assassinate you yesterday?"
What about those two maids? Weren't they arrested and interrogated too? Haven't they found out what else is hidden inside the Imperial Academy?
Zhao Kun then continued, revealing that the two maids who assassinated the Rong family yesterday were also spies from Western Xia.
The Western Xia had sent these two maids to the Rong family for several years without revealing any clues, all in preparation for the day when the Crown Prince would appear.
After all, he was the emperor's only son, and killing him would surely throw the Song Dynasty court into chaos!
So the other party waited for several years before they found out he would appear on the day of the birthday banquet. Then, in order for the plan to succeed, they also secretly prepared another person, namely Cui Jun.
