As soon as Mu Yunyu got off the court, he hurried to the palace. Soon, Lu Xiaoyu and Liu Shengyong also came to the palace stealthily.

"It's too late. When I went to pay my respects to my father in the palace this morning, he was already seriously ill. I'm afraid he won't last for a few more days."

As he spoke, Mu Yunyu glared at Lu Xiaoyu and said, "Didn't you say that the flower would only make Father slowly sick within a hundred days? How come Father is dying after just a few days?"

"You are deceiving me, King."

Lu Xiaoyu sneered: "Your Majesty, I told you before that different people have different tolerances to Xi Yanhong's poison."

"Perhaps the emperor was already ill, so the poison took effect faster."

"You..." Mu Yunyu was so angry that he could only clench his fists.

If he didn't have something important to accomplish right now, he really wanted to kill Lu Xiaoyu and get more than he deserved.

Liu Shengyong was trembling on the side. Ever since he was forced to join Prince Heqin, he realized that everything they did would result in the loss of heads and the extermination of nine generations of the clan.

He was just greedy before, but he never dared to take such a big risk. Now he has failed.

If things go wrong, the whole family might have to pay the price.

"Your Majesty, what did you mean by 'it's too late'?"

Lu Xiaoyu glanced at Liu Shengyong with contempt, and sighed in his heart that it was so cowardly. How could Mu Yunyu win over such a waste to accomplish his great cause?

I couldn't help but say: "Time is running out. The prince must rush to the palace before the emperor dies, take the imperial seal from the emperor, and become the emperor."

"have you understood?"

Hearing this, Liu Shengyong immediately slid off the stool. If his pants hadn't been a little tight today, he would have probably peed.

"That...that wouldn't be...rebellion?"

"Your Majesty, you are talking about...rebellion?"

Liu Shengyong asked again uncertainly.

Although he knew everything that Prince He and Lu Xiaoyu had done in the past half month, none of it was done by him.

So is it too late for him to run away now?

Perhaps Liu Shengyong still hasn't figured out how he was dragged into this mess.

I only remember that day when the prince held a sword against his neck, and the chill went to his bones.

"How dare you, Liu Shengyong! I admire officials who prohibit adultery and gambling, but you dare to take a prostitute as your concubine. You know the law but break it. What crime should you be punished for?"

Liu Shengyong thought that he was the one who went to the Household Registration Office to make false household registration documents for Wu Qing and Wu Chun, and was seen by Prince Heqin. He followed the clues and caught him.

This was used to threaten him, so he had to be loyal to Prince He.

Unexpectedly, when he had completely become Prince He's dog, he found out that Lu Xiaoyu had been secretly colluding with Prince He for a long time.

Liu Shengyong was so sad that he wanted to cry but had no tears.

Seeing Liu Shengyong in a daze, Mu Yunyu glanced at his cowardly look and snorted coldly: "Master Liu, it's already this time, don't think about running away. You and this king have been tied to the same rope for a long time."

After saying that, Mu Yunyu rolled his eyes in disgust.

Only then did Lu Xiaoyu get the topic back on track.

"Your Highness, do you mean... to plan ahead of schedule?"

Mu Yunyu nodded carefully, and then questioned Lu Xiaoyu: "You have been in charge of the Military Horse Division for less than two months. Will the people in the Military Horse Division listen to you?"

Lu Xiaoyu had a thousand thoughts in her mind...

"Your Majesty, there is no need to question me. I have the token in my hand. Who dares not to listen?"

Mu Yunyu frowned, then said: "Then let's set the date on May 5th. That day is the Dragon Boat Festival, and there will be a lot of people in the palace."

"By then, I will find an opportunity to take over the task of arranging the Dragon Boat Festival banquet."

"When the fireworks in the palace go off, use that as a signal. Then you will lead the troops from the Military Horse Division to open the city gates on both sides and welcome Shen Qianren's army into the city."

"Then I'll see how Mu Yunchen resists. Once we kill the emperor and the prince, the world will be ours."

After saying that, Mu Yunyu closed his eyes tightly: Father, don’t blame me, it’s your fault for never looking at me straight in the eye. I am obviously your son too.

But you only have Mu Yunchen in your eyes and heart, and you are only interested in cultivating him, while I am just sharpening his knife.

In that case, you don't have to blame me for being cruel.

"Yuyi, send these letters by carrier pigeon to the northwest border, and make sure Liu Qianren can receive them."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Yu Yi took the letter and turned around, just in time to bump into Hai Zao who was looking for Mu Yunyu in a panic.

"Your Highness, please go and see the princess. She accidentally fell down the stairs today and has a miscarriage. Please go and see her."

"What did you say?! The princess fell?! Is it serious?! Is the child okay?!"

Yu Yi blurted out a series of questions, which stunned everyone present.

It was not until Hai Zao knelt down in front of Mu Yunyu that they came back to their senses. Yu Yi realized his loss of composure and quickly adjusted himself and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I am only concerned about the princess's injury."

"I will deliver the message right away."

Mu Yunyu stared at Yu Yi's back and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Liu Shengyong and Lu Xiaoyu seemed to have sensed something was wrong after witnessing Yu Yi's misconduct. They thought that there might be a bloody storm in the palace, so the two of them slipped away.

Mu Yunyu was stunned for a while, and an inexplicable suspicion surged in his heart. He glanced at Haizao sharply and asked:

"The princess has fallen, why don't you go and find the doctor from the shop in the west of the city? He has been taking care of the princess's pregnancy.

If anything happens to the baby in the princess' belly, I will make sure you all die."

Hai Zao suddenly hugged Mu Yunyu's thighs and cried, "My Lord, we called the doctor early in the morning, but the doctor was helpless.

The princess is bleeding heavily right now. If we don’t call the imperial physician, I’m afraid both the princess and her child will die.”

Hai Zao was kneeling down and begging Mu Yunyu to save Yu Wen Yu Chao's life, but she didn't expect that Yu Wen Yu Chao actually ordered people to carry her to Mu Yunyu on a stretcher.

He dragged his weak body and blood was all over the ground.

Yuwen Yuchao was the exact opposite of Haizao: "Your Majesty, there is no need to call the imperial physician. The doctor can cure my condition, right, Doctor Li?"

As he spoke, Yuwen Yuchao pulled Doctor Li, trying to get him to testify for him.

Unexpectedly, Doctor Li still couldn't withstand the psychological pressure. He immediately knelt on the ground, crying and begging: "Your Majesty, please spare my life. Please quickly call the imperial physician in the palace. Maybe the princess' life can be saved."

"Someone, take this prince's invitation..." Before Mu Yunyu finished speaking, she was interrupted by Yuwen Yuchao, "Your Majesty, no, I don't need the imperial physician in the palace, Your Majesty..."

Yu Wenyu's heart-wrenching cry was heard, coupled with his miserable appearance, showing that he did not care about their children at all.

Mu Yunyu was furious and he immediately ordered people to carry Yu Wen Yuchao back, and then sent someone to the palace to invite the imperial physician.

Unexpectedly, when Yuwen Yuchao saw that the secret could no longer be kept secret, he fainted from anger.
