The First Tyrant of Daxia

three days later.

It was the eve of the ceremony of offering sacrifice to heaven, and the entire palace was brightly lit, quiet and solemn.

There was an endless stream of confidential ministers and important officials from various departments entering and leaving the palace, busy with preparations for tomorrow's sacrifice to heaven.

This matter is of great importance and no mistakes can be allowed!

In order to ensure safety, Qin Yun even dispatched 10,000 imperial guards to patrol various places in the imperial capital. There were imperial guards standing guard on almost every street.

If an enemy attacks, he will definitely be discovered.

As for Huangshan, an open place for sacrifice, the guards are extremely strict and airtight. The combination of the Imperial Guards and the Embroidered Uniform Guards is enough to make people tremble with fear.

Royal study room.

"Report!"

"Your Majesty, Ye Fu and the others have been successfully escorted to Huang Shan for custody, and will be executed tomorrow."

"Report! Lord Su Yan and Bai Long have entered the designated location. You can identify any potential assassins of the White Lotus Sect at any time tomorrow!"

"Report..."

After hearing the report, Qin Yun felt relieved.

"That's good. Everything is ready. We just need the east wind."

"My dear ministers, please rest in the palace. I have had the guest rooms prepared for you. We will hold a ceremony for the Heavenly Sacrifice tomorrow. Thank you very much."

The cabinet ministers were flattered and bowed their heads in response, "We dare not, Your Majesty, we will obey your order."

After some people left, Qin Yun stood up and looked at the rolling darkness outside.

"I really hope that young lady will come too, so that I can catch her in one fell swoop."

Murong Shunhua said softly from behind him, "Not likely."

"But tomorrow will also be a tough battle. It is certain that the White Lotus Society will come to cause trouble, so the one who will do it is most likely Yue Nu."

"This person is not easy to deceive."

"Except for Elder Feng to take action, it will be difficult for anyone to punish her."

Old Feng smiled bitterly: "According to the intelligence, this woman is known as the White Lotus Sect's strongest killer. In addition to her high martial arts skills, she is also very fearless of death. Once the Juque is out, she can sweep away thousands of troops..."

"If you want to suppress it, I'm afraid you'll have to pay some price, such as large-scale casualties."

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces darkened. Since Elder Feng, who represented the highest combat power in the palace, had made such a comment, they were likely to face a more difficult situation than they had imagined.

"It's a pity that we didn't find that Yue Ling. If we had found the real her, Yue Nu would have been afraid to act rashly."

"A fake Yue Ling can only make her fall into the trap, and even that won't work." Qin Yun sighed, frowning.

All departments were busy, but few people knew the inside story: Huangshan was not a place for sacrifice at all, but a battlefield he had prepared.

But the battlefield cannot be too chaotic, otherwise it will affect the stone temple sacrifice behind.

Moreover, once the people are injured or killed, the meaning of offering sacrifices to heaven will be lost and it will also be criticized.

At this time, Tao Yang came back from a mission outside.

He stepped to the middle, cupped his hands and said softly, "Your Majesty, everything you asked me to do has been arranged."

"In the second half of the night, the royal family, civil and military officials will be replaced."

Package swap?!

Everyone looked at Qin Yun, confused and shocked!

Qin Yun grinned, showing a rare smile: "Very good, not bad, let's go back to the palace and sleep!"

He strode out.

Feng Lao, Chang Hong, Shaoqing of Zongzheng Temple and others followed behind, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Your Majesty, what does it mean to switch?"

Qin Yun didn't look back, and smiled, "Am I that stupid? Knowing that the White Lotus Sect was going to cause trouble, why did I put real royal relatives on the scene?"

"Since it's a trap, then this trap might as well be bigger. Even the masses are my people!"

"I want to see how Yue Nu sings this play!"

Murong Shunhua was stunned: "But what if I'm found to be cheating?"

Qin Yun smiled confidently: "So I am in the palace late at night, trying to steal the day!"

Everyone was shocked. Your Majesty really dared to think and do it...

Even those close to them were unaware of the situation and the conspiracy had already begun. How could the White Lotus sect members have discovered this?

For a moment, they had a little more confidence.

Qin Yun left the imperial study. It was a very solemn night, but he had always been an optimistic person, so he went to bed when it was time.

He stepped into the gate of the harem, which belonged to him alone.

"what……"

He let out a light exclamation, his eyes flickering as he looked towards a corner of the palace complex.

"This is my harem, right? It's so late, why are there still so many people awake? What are they doing there?"

Murong Shunhua looked at her and couldn't help but roll her eyes in a charming manner.

"I think you've been having so much fun out there that you don't even know where your own home is."

"That's the Imperial Workshop, but it's next to the harem."

"Isn't Mu Ci helping you with some loom? Today, Empress Xiao specially brought her over from the Ministry of Works and told her to go directly to the harem to rest if she was tired, and Mu Xin followed her as well."

"Do you want to go and see it?"

Qin Yun grinned. This Xiang'er is smart and kind-hearted. Is she helping him to bring women into the palace in disguise?

"No, don't bother her."

"What she did was a big deal. We'll reward her later."

After saying this, he went back to Qianhua Palace first, and Murong followed closely behind.

Half an hour later, the day's work at the Imperial Workshop was over.

Although the opening device has been made, the size needs to be constantly checked. These days, Mu Ci has not even had time to hold Huo's child, and has been busy making this.

After lights out.

Mu Ci coaxes Mu Xin to sleep.

"Mom, you haven't been home these days, and Master is also very busy. I'm so scared to be alone."

"Why are you afraid?" Mu Ci's maternal radiance burst out. She lay on the bed and hit Mu Xin's quilt with a gentle voice.

"I always feel like someone is watching me." Mu Xin's innocent face was tense and he spoke seriously.

Mu Ci frowned slightly: "Someone is watching you. Did you have a nightmare? Tell me, what happened?"

Mu Xin shrank into Mu Ci's arms, raised her head seriously, and stared with wide eyes: "Yesterday, I went out to play shuttlecock with Niu Dan and Sister Huo from the Huo Mansion. I saw a fierce-looking uncle in the alley. He kept looking at me, his eyes fixed..."

Mu Ciyu felt a chill on her back, her sensitive nerves were touched. The child trafficking incident had just caused a lot of controversy not long ago, and she was very worried.

Anxiously asked: "What happened next?"

"What happened next?"

Mu Xin said, "Later, the guards sent by His Majesty suddenly came back, and the fierce uncle disappeared."

"Weird."

call!

Mu Ci let out a long breath and patted her chest with her jade hands. If anything happened to Mu Xin, she would not want to live anymore.

"You are not allowed to go out to play in the future, at least not during this period!" She said it very seriously, even a little fiercely.

Mu Xin felt wronged: "Why?"

"Because there are many bad guys!" said Mu Ci.

"No way, that uncle is just a little fierce. I don't think he is a bad person." Mu Xin said naively.

Mu Ci said angrily: "How do you know he is not a bad person, you little girl? You don't even listen to your mother?"

"Because I just saw that fierce uncle, and he even bowed to you, mother!" Mu Xin sat up with a serious look on his face.

Mu Ci's eyes were fixed, and the hairs on her body stood up instantly. A huge sense of horror made her feel cold all over!

"You, what did you say?"

"Did you see that person just now? In the palace?!"

Mu Xin nodded in confusion: "Yes, how could His Majesty's people be bad people?"

"He was standing guard at the door just now, and I wanted to say hello to him."

Mu Ci's beautiful eyes were filled with fear, as if she had seen a ghost! No matter how dumb she was, she could tell something was wrong. How could someone from outside the palace get into this heavily guarded harem?

Unless he's a eunuch, but how could that be such a coincidence?

She had never dared to tell anyone about the birthmark on Mu Xin's wrist, for fear of involving the White Lotus Sect and making Qin Yun unhappy.

But so many things happened one after another, and she knew that she had offended the "little devil".

She froze, even stopping her breath, and slowly looked back...
