"Help, help me! Someone come quickly! Someone come quickly!"

The eunuchs and palace maids who were on night watch heard His Majesty's cry for help from the dragon bed and rushed in quickly.

"Your Majesty! Are there assassins invading?"

A group of people rushed into the house, ready for battle, but they found that there was no one else in the house except the emperor sitting on the ground.

The guards did not dare to relax and vigilantly checked every corner of the Qianqing Palace where someone might be hiding, but they found none.

"Your Majesty, we have failed in our duty. Please punish us!"

"You are a bunch of useless dogs!"

The chief eunuch Li De helped the emperor, who was still slumped on the ground, to his feet and said repeatedly:

"Oh, Your Majesty, it's all because we came too late. Are you injured? Hurry up and call the imperial physician!"

Xiao Xun was still in shock. The poison in his dream tasted extremely bitter when it entered his throat, and went down his throat, making him shiver in pain and sweat profusely.

Only after the imperial physician rushed over and prescribed a tranquilizer did he recover.

The emperor was still frightened when he thought about what happened in his dream.

Just now, he had a nightmare.

He dreamed of the Queen's birthday a few days later. The Queen was jealous and killed the third prince. The imperial concubine could not bear the pain of losing her son and burned herself to death. The Queen was deposed as a result.

In the following years, he doted on Zhao Yueli and promoted her to a high position. Later, he made the fourth prince born by her the crown prince, waiting for him to inherit the throne and be above everyone else.

But he didn't expect that the vicious woman Zhao Yueli would bring him a bowl of poison while he was sick in bed!

Thinking of this, the emperor subconsciously covered his abdomen. Even though it was a dream, he still felt a dull pain in his abdomen.

This dream was so real, as if it had happened before. Why did he suddenly have such a dream? Could it be a reminder from God?

Yes, yes, he was the emperor, the true dragon son of heaven, and was favored by God. When God saw that he would be harmed by a treacherous man and a vicious woman, he warned him through a dream.

As to whether what happened in the dream would really happen, the emperor had no time to care.

It is better to kill a thousand people by mistake than to let one go.

So he immediately waved his hand for Li De to come closer and said, "Take a few people and go to Zhao Yueli's palace immediately. Seal the palace gate and don't let anyone escape."

He said viciously: "Kill them all, don't leave any alive, especially Zhao Yueli!"

Li De was bending over respectfully, but when he heard this, he lost his composure and was extremely shocked: "Your Majesty? This, this..."

Rong Shun and Rong Fu, who were standing by, were also shocked and quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Zhao Yueli's biological mother and General Zhao's mother are sisters from the same mother. They were abducted and wandered among the people when they were young. After they were found, their family felt very sorry for them. General Zhao also felt very sorry for his cousin Zhao Yueli. If Your Majesty executed Concubine Guiji without a reason, the general would probably make a fuss!

Thinking of General Zhao, the emperor shuddered for a moment, but then he thought, he was a man protected by God, so why should he be afraid of a general like him?

On the contrary, he was feeling frustrated as an emperor. Before, he was restrained by Zhuang Heming and could not do anything. Now, he just wanted to kill Zhao Yueli but was unable to do this or that.

He raised his leg and gave the palace maid a kick in the heart: "Go if I tell you to! Remember, don't alarm others."

Oh, Your Majesty.

Li De complained bitterly.

The emperor had a nightmare just now and the palace maids were running around, and even the imperial physician was invited. Such a big commotion must have reached the ears of the concubines in the harem a long time ago. The empress might even be on her way to the Qianqing Palace now.

It was really difficult for them to kill Zhao Yueli without alerting others.

But His Majesty was obviously very angry, so how could he listen to what these servants said?

Li De had a sad face and was about to leave with Rongfu when he was stopped by the emperor.

Could it be that Your Majesty has changed his mind?

Li De happily turned around, and heard the emperor looking at Rongfu gloomily: "Drag him away and beat him to death."

Everyone was stunned. Rongfu immediately knelt down and kowtowed, crying, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, spare my life! I didn't do anything!"

The emperor had no patience with the person the queen pushed next to him, so he waved his hand to signal him to drag the person away.

Rongfu's cries were blocked and the sound gradually faded away.

Li De broke out in a cold sweat, dared not say anything, and ran out quickly.

Under the current circumstances, I'm afraid only the Prime Minister can persuade His Majesty!

Rong Shun stood aside with his head lowered and his eyes submissively watched, and only found a chance to leave when the emperor looked tired.

After leaving the palace, he immediately called someone to pass on the message:

"Your Majesty, please go find the Imperial Concubine and tell her the details of what just happened!"

*

Jiang Xinlian was awakened by Qiu Ye. She was very sleepy, so she casually put on a rouge blouse and took a sip of tea lazily.

After listening to the palace maid's retelling, her sleepiness disappeared and she almost choked on the tea.

"The Emperor wants to kill Zhao Yueli?"

She repeated, her charming eyes widening.

So sudden? Wasn't the emperor very close and loving with Zhao Yueli yesterday?

What’s more, isn’t Zhao Yueli the heroine?

She exclaimed:

"I just don't understand. It turns out that the current heroine-themed plot has developed into this."

086 maintained a calm and cool demeanor, secretly reading the plot twice to make sure there was no plot in which the hero wanted to kill the heroine.

So what's wrong with you, male lead? This is a drama with a strong female lead, how dare you!

"My Lady, what should we do about this matter today?"

The palace maids waited for her to speak.

According to Rong Shun, the emperor's mood changed drastically after he woke up from the dream. He first wanted to kill Zhao Yueli, whom he doted on, and then beat Rong Fu, who he had always valued, to death with a stick for no reason. There must be something wrong.

A nightmare?

Jiang Xinlian stroked her black hair, entwined her slender white fingers and played with it, her brows slightly furrowed:

"Tell Rongshun not to act rashly. During this period, there is no need to take risks in delivering messages."

"Dr. Song, tell them to stop. There's no rush to get out of this situation."

The palace maid bowed and responded.

This news was soon delivered to the Zhuang Heming case.

"Your Majesty, have you lost your mind? General Zhao has always been hot-tempered and protective of his people. He killed his cousin for no reason. That reckless man will cause a commotion in the court."

The guards really didn't understand what His Majesty was thinking.

The emperor could ignore everything and put state affairs aside, but it would be hard for them to deal with that reckless man.

"Be careful what you say."

Zhuang Heming brought the note close to the candle flame and burned it cleanly.

"General Zhao has made great contributions to our dynasty by traveling to the border. Please take good care of Madam Guiji and we will make arrangements after daybreak."

"Yes."

The guard clasped his fists and accepted the order. Just as he was about to leave, Zhuang Heming said:

"Wait a minute."

He lowered his eyes, his handsome face showing some worry, and asked, "Did you disturb Jianjia Palace?"

This is a question for the Imperial Concubine and the little prince.

The guard replied, "The queen is already aware of this matter. The young master, uh, is sleeping soundly."

Xu'er is still young and likes to sleep a lot.

Zhuang Heming nodded: "I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the palace to accompany the queen in the next few days."

My Lord, I am afraid there is something else going on here, which may cause trouble and involve your wife and children.
