Regent, the princess you found is a treasure

"Putting the Empress Dowager and the Queen under house arrest? Are these people really rebelling?" Su Luoxue looked up and asked after hearing An Yi's words.

"Do you know why?" Xuan Moyin asked without raising his head.

"Because the Queen Mother said in the Golden Palace this morning that the current Emperor should abdicate and let Your Highness take that position." An Yi said.

"Oh, let me sit in that seat?" Xuan Moyin finally raised his head.

"No wonder that group of people rebelled. They knew that if they really let you sit in that position, their good days would be over." Su Luoxue said after taking a sip of the tea that Xuan Moyin had just brewed.

"Your Highness, what should we do now..." An Yi asked.

"Let's wait and see what happens!" Xuan Moyin said, "Pass my order on to General Cao outside the city to prepare for battle. Also, the people in the palace should protect the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the Queen at any time."

"Yes." An Yi took the order and went down.

A few days later, in the imperial palace, in the imperial study.

The atmosphere in the room was heavy and silent.

The Duke, Prime Minister, Grand Marshal, Shangshu and other dignitaries sat around a table. Their expressions were serious and solemn, and they seemed to be discussing something extremely important.

"Any news from the Empress Dowager and the Queen?" The Duke frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on the young eunuch kneeling in front of him, his voice low and powerful.

The young eunuch trembled and replied tremblingly: "My Lord, there has been no movement so far. The palace gates have been closed and no one has entered or left."

Upon hearing the news, the Duke frowned even more.

After a moment of silence, he continued to ask: "What about the emperor? What do the imperial doctors think about this?"

The young eunuch swallowed nervously and stammered, "I have asked the head of the academy, and he said that the emperor's condition is still fluctuating and his condition is not stable."

After hearing this, the Duke's face became even gloomier.

He fell into deep thought, and everyone else remained silent, waiting for him to make a decision.

At this time, the prime minister coughed lightly, breaking the silence.

He waved to the young eunuch, signaling him to leave first.

The young eunuch stood up quickly as if he had been pardoned, left the room and closed the door gently.

With the sound of the door closing, the atmosphere in the imperial study became more depressing.

"Duke, is there something wrong?" The Minister frowned and looked at the Duke with confusion.

"Don't you think the Empress Dowager and the Queen are too quiet? Putting the two palaces under house arrest is tantamount to rebellion, yet they don't make a fuss?" The Duke frowned, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

At this time, the Grand Marshal said, "My Lord, if it were you, let's just kill the Emperor, the Queen Mother, the Empress, and that little one-year-old kid, and you ascend the throne and sit in that position, and we will follow you until death."

"Yes, Duke. No, Your Majesty, we will follow you until death!" At this time, the Prime Minister and the Minister of Chancellery also echoed in unison.

Hearing this, the Duke's heart was moved, but he remained calm, waved his hand and said, "Everyone, wait a minute." He saw several adults were about to stand up and kneel to him as a king, and hurriedly stopped them, saying, "Don't you think the Queen Mother and the Queen are too quiet?" The other three adults were stunned when they heard this, and looked at each other, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

"Someone come here." The Duke shouted to the outside of the door.

Soon, a guard walked in quickly and stood respectfully in front of the Duke, waiting for instructions.

"Sir, what do you want?" asked the guard.

The Duke's face was gloomy, with a cold light flashing in his eyes: "Take people with you immediately and check if there are any missing people in the Queen Mother's and the Queen's palaces! If there are, report to me immediately."

After receiving the order, the guard quickly turned around and left.

At this time, the Prime Minister said, "Duke, these past few days the Imperial Guards have surrounded the two palaces like a bucket, not even a fly can fly out, how could anyone get out?"

The Duke frowned, thought for a moment and then said, "We can't let our guard down. Although everything seems to be under control, the Queen Mother is not an easy target. We must remain vigilant at all times."

The Prime Minister agreed, "What the Duke said is absolutely right. The current situation is still unclear, so we need to act cautiously. We will take action when the time is right."

The Duke nodded, secretly thinking about the next plan in his mind. At the same time, he paid close attention to every move in the palace to prevent any unexpected situation.

If Xuan Moyin is not removed, he will not be safe even if he sits in that position.

Although Xuan Haotian has been forcing Xuan Moyin, Xuan Moyin has never taken action. After all, they are uncle and nephew. Xuan Moyin may show mercy to Xuan Haotian. However, if it were me, I am afraid Xuan Moyin would not tolerate him for a day!

This is also the reason why he did not dare to kill the emperor and others immediately.

An hour later, the guards came running back in a panic.

Without waiting for the guard to salute, the Duke stood up and walked up to him and asked anxiously: "How is it?"

The guard stammered, "Reply... Reply Duke, the Queen Mother's personal... personal nanny is missing."

"What?" The Duke took a few steps back and slumped down on a chair. "Go check if the nanny has left the city and when did she leave?"

"Yes!" The guard ran down quickly.

"Duke..." the other three shouted.

The Duke's face was already livid at this time. Sure enough, the Queen Mother was prepared, otherwise how could she be so calm?

"Duke, maybe, maybe the nanny was not in the palace due to other matters. It was just a coincidence." said the general.

The Duke didn't say anything, he was already preparing for the worst in his mind.

Sure enough, after another hour, the guard came back to report: "Duke, the nanny left the city overnight five days ago with the Queen Mother's palace badge."

As soon as the guard finished speaking, the Duke and the other three adults sat in their chairs in a daze.

After a long while, the Duke of Guo heaved a long sigh and said, "It's over, it's over. It's been five days. It turns out that the Queen Mother had already made arrangements."

"Duke, do you suspect that the Queen Mother had anticipated all this and asked Xuan Moyin for help in advance?" asked the Prime Minister.

Five days ago, wasn't that the day before they put the Queen Mother and the Empress under house arrest? No wonder they were so calm.

It's been five days, and it's impossible to catch up now. If we can travel fast overnight, we will probably reach Beiliang Kingdom tomorrow!

"Duke, are you afraid that Xuan Moyin will send troops?" asked the Shangshu.

"The Queen Mother must have asked that maid to deliver the letter. I won't tell you what is written in the letter, but you all should know. If Xuan Moyin really sends troops to attack, what are our chances of winning?" said the Duke.

"Duke, no matter what, we have to fight." The prime minister said again.

"Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Duke, let's go after him." The Minister also said.

"Well, immediately dispatch troops to guard the capital!" said the Duke. If Xuan Moyin really came to attack the capital, he also decided to fight with Xuan Moyin.
