Zhao Ge didn't know how Yuwen Qi reacted.

The next moment, the door of Qiankun Hall was fiercely pushed open from the outside.

A handsome man in black clothes had a sullen expression on his face and swept his leopard-like eyes over the quiet hall.

Before the dragon bed, there was only Xia Cairen.

"Where is the Imperial Master of Shangcheng?" Yu Wenqi asked in a cold voice with dark eyes.

Xia Cairen was trembling with fear, and did not dare to look up at him, "What imperial master? Today, I am the only one who is attending to the patient."

But having said that, her finger quietly pointed behind the bright yellow curtain.

Yu Wenqi narrowed his eyes, strode over and threw the curtain open.

Behind the curtain, Zhao Ge's face turned pale.

"You are here." Yu Wenqi noticed the strange middle-aged man behind her and smelled a faint scent of medicine on him.

Zhao Ge simply said confidently: "Why can't I be here? It's not His Royal Highness Prince Jing's turn to take care of the sick today, but you are here too."

"Then you really shouldn't have come."

At this point, Yuwen Qi was too lazy to play tricks on her anymore.

Because he knew that his ex-wife had become suspicious of his father's illness.

Zhao Ge looked into Yu Wenqi's eyes and instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

Sure enough, the next moment, Yuwen Qi ordered: "Come here, take this thief who broke into the palace away."

"How dare you!" Zhao Ge stood in front of Doctor Hu and sneered, "Mr. Hu followed me into the palace, how could you slander him? The prince is so nervous, can I think that you are guilty?"

Yuwen Qi said calmly: "Whatever you say."

Two eunuchs stepped forward and tried to take Doctor Hu away by force. Zhao Ge knew that Yuwen Qi was serious and could not bear to see him implicated, so she remained in a stalemate with the two eunuchs.

"As the Imperial Master, I order you to withdraw!"

Seeing this, Yuwen Qi showed impatience and stepped forward, knocking Zhaoge unconscious.

The woman fell into his arms, and Yuwen Qi ordered calmly: "Drag this thief away and beat him to death."

A life was killed in a trivial manner.

Yuwen Qi picked up Zhao Ge and before leaving Qiankun Palace, he glanced at Xia Cairen and said, "I hope you will keep your mouth shut about what happened today."

Xia Cairen was trembling with fear: "Yes..."

After Yuwen Qi left, Xia Cairen fell to the ground as if all the strength had been drained from him.

Help! Why did she feel that things were going to change in the palace?

...

When Zhao Ge woke up, he saw a completely unfamiliar room.

Remembering what happened before she fainted, she shook her dizzy head, got up and went out.

But the door was locked from the outside!

"Yuwen Qi is such a bastard!" Zhao Ge cursed and tried to find a way out through the window.

But after groping for a long time, I found that this room looked like an iron barrel.

Zhao Ge sat weakly on the couch and could only wait.

At noon, someone came in to bring her food. Zhao Ge took a look through the crack in the door and found out where she was.

The place outside was not as magnificent as an imperial palace with its red walls and green tiles, nor was it the Prince of Jing's Palace.

Looking at the green mountains and clear waters outside the wall, she should have been imprisoned in a villa somewhere by Yuwen Qi.

Zhao Ge originally wanted to wait patiently for Yuwen Qi to come and deal with him.

But for the next five days, Yuwen Qi did not come to see her.

On the sixth day, she finally could not sit still anymore, and when the eunuch brought her food, she hurriedly slipped him a golden hairpin through the crack in the door.

"Excuse me, I want to ask something."

The eunuch hesitated when he saw the valuable gold hairpin and said, "What do you want to ask? I can't tell you important things."

"Don't worry, I won't embarrass you!"

Zhao Ge asked hurriedly, "Has there been any news of His Majesty's death in the palace?"

"What are you talking about?" The young eunuch was shocked: "Your Majesty is fine."

Zhao Ge finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "When does the person who locked me up here plan to come see me?"

The young eunuch kept his mouth shut, hurriedly closed the door, and ignored her.

Zhao Ge: “…”

Now, she is alone and helpless and can only wait for the opportunity.

At noon the next day, the young eunuch came to bring her food again. This time, for the first time ever, the young eunuch took the initiative to speak to her.

"Hey, you're so right!"

Zhao Ge was a little confused, "What do you mean?"

The young eunuch could not hide his admiration and said excitedly: "You said yesterday that His Majesty had just passed away, and this morning the news came that His Majesty had passed away!!"

Zhao Ge's eyes widened as if he had been hit hard.

Everything was consistent with her guess.

Someone wants to seize the throne while Yuwen Lian is away from Chai'an!

So Emperor Chu, who was fine the day before, suddenly fell ill and became unconscious. After being treated for many days, the entire Imperial Hospital could not tell that he had been poisoned!

From this perspective, it is clear that Meng Qingyun deliberately offended Your Majesty that day.

Zhao Ge's face turned pale. If she didn't do something, she would have to watch the throne being usurped by Yuwen Qi!

She suddenly pulled the hairpin from her bun and held it against her neck.

"Call Yuwen Qi and tell him that if he doesn't come, I will die in front of him!"

The young eunuch looked panicked: "Please stop making trouble. The prince will not come. He is busy now."

"If you don't come, I'll die!"

"The prince had expected you to do this. He said that you can commit suicide, but none of your family members in the Jiang Mansion will survive."

"..."

Zhao Ge gritted her teeth and reluctantly and helplessly put down the hairpin.

At this time, in the palace.

When Emperor Zhu passed away, the whole country was in mourning. When the empress dowager heard the news, she fell ill and never got up.

The second prince, Yuwen Mo, as the elder brother of all the princes, presided over the funeral of the late emperor with a sad heart.

The ministers debated whether to inform the prince at the border about this matter.

One group believes that the crown prince is the eldest son, and after his father passed away, he must come back to attend the funeral and inherit the throne to reassure the people.

The other faction believed that the Chu army had just defeated the Jie tribe and was now pursuing the victory. If the soldiers were informed of the emperor's death and the commander was sent back at this time, it would certainly shake the morale of the army.

While the two sides were arguing, Yuwen Qi suddenly came with Eunuch Su, the chief eunuch of Emperor Chu.

"What does your highness the Prince of Jing mean?" Guanglu Doctor Wei Qi was suspicious.

Yuwen Qi whispered, "I'm sorry to bother you all, but there is something I can't hide from you. Eunuch Su has something to say."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the ministers looked at the two uninvited guests.

"I have come here today to report something to you all! That is, the Crown Prince poisoned Your Majesty in order to seize the throne!"

"Shut up!" Wei Qi scolded, "The Crown Prince is already the Crown Prince, why would he want to seize the throne? Eunuch Su, you are the chief eunuch beside the late Emperor, how dare you slander His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like this!"

Grand Tutor Yu Shiqing seemed much calmer, "Eunuch Su, do you have any evidence?"

Eunuch Su hurriedly said, "Of course there is. The man next to me is Qian Renshi, the steward of the Eastern Palace."
