Mr. Chen San asked Feng Mo to send Liu Yu back, and he took the prince and others to the palace. As soon as they entered the palace, they met the Queen's men, who directly blocked their way.

"who?"

The prince stepped forward and showed his identity token: "I am the prince, why don't you get out of the way." Deputy Commander He also took out his own Royal Guard token.

The Royal Guards looked at each other in bewilderment and did not give way immediately.

Master Chen San gave Marquis Yuzhang a look, telling him to be ready to break into the palace at any time.

Just then, a guard with a knife came over. This man was none other than Deputy Commander He's subordinate. He was horrified to see them. He knew something about this and believed that these people should not be standing here.

But they happened to appear in the palace, so there was only one possibility, that they had successfully overcome the difficulties.

Thinking of this, the sword-wielding guard made up his mind and gave the order to make way on the spot.

They all went straight to the Heavenly Palace's bedroom.

The people inside haven't noticed anything yet.

The Queen's men were guarding outside the bedroom and not allowing anyone to enter. Inside, Eunuch Cao had already taken a rope from his body and tied it around his hands, and was walking towards Emperor Dewu who was lying on the dragon couch.

There was a vicious look in his eyes. He was about to put the rope on Emperor Dewu. Emperor Dewu, who had kept his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and grabbed Eunuch Cao's hand: "Cao Zheng, what do you want to do?"

Eunuch Cao secretly thought that this was not good, knowing that Emperor Dewu did not drink the cup of spiked medicine. He reacted quickly, and now he was exposed. No matter what, he would die. A ruthless look flashed in his eyes, and he was determined to do it once and for all, and struggled to break free from Emperor Dewu's hand.

Although Emperor Dewu took the initiative, his health had already been seriously ill. After all, he was no match for Eunuch Cao, who was also skilled in martial arts. He could not bear the rope in Eunuch Cao's hand and put it around his neck. Then the fatal feeling came like a tide.

At first Emperor Dewu was still able to resist, but as time passed, breathing became more and more difficult, his limbs began to weaken, and everything in front of his eyes went dark.

Emperor Dewu completely gave up struggling, and was confused. Cao Zheng had been with him since he was a child, so why did he want to kill him?

At this critical moment, the door of the bedroom was suddenly pushed open, and then a lamp flew towards Eunuch Cao's hand.

Eunuch Cao was caught off guard and the rope on his hands loosened.

Emperor Dewu came back to life and started coughing violently.

It would be impossible for Eunuch Cao to strangle Emperor Dewu again.

Yuzhang Hou's fist was pointed directly at his face. He could only free his hand to block the blow and retreat step by step.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the prince quickly stepped forward, followed closely by Master Chen San. Before he walked over, he did not forget to instruct the trembling eunuch kneeling behind the door: "Go call the imperial physician."

"Yes." The little eunuch crawled out immediately.

Here, with the joining of Deputy Commander He, Eunuch Cao quickly fell into a disadvantage. In this moment of life and death crisis, everyone wants to seek a glimmer of hope for survival.

Eunuch Cao once again placed this glimmer of hope on Emperor Dewu. As long as he kidnapped Emperor Dewu, he could leave the palace. After getting out, he only needed to find Zhang Lianci and seek Zhang Lianci's protection, and he could survive.

If Mr. Chen San knew what he was thinking, he would definitely laugh at his naivety. If he wanted Zhang Lianci's protection, he could only go to the Ministry of Justice's prison.

Eunuch Cao did not take Mr. Chen San and the Crown Prince, who were protecting Emperor Dewu, seriously at all. After forcing Marquis Yuzhang to retreat, he immediately rushed towards the dragon bed.

It was too late for Marquis Yuzhang and Deputy Commander He to stop him. Eunuch Cao successfully rushed to the dragon bed with a smile on his face. But before the smile could spread, Master Chen San took out a sword from somewhere and stabbed it into his left chest.

He never expected that the person he thought was the least dangerous would be the one who dealt him the final blow.

Eunuch Cao had no idea that Third Master Chen knew a little bit of martial arts. He practiced twice a day since the last time he was in danger. His martial arts skills were not very high, but he was able to protect himself.

Although Eunuch Cao was not weak, he was careless! Master Chen's sword would not kill him, but it would definitely make him lose his fighting ability.

Eunuch Cao stared at Master Chen San unwillingly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Chen Zhihe, do you think you'll be alright if you catch me? Someone won't let you go."

Master Chen nodded, took over his words calmly, and pointed out: "You are talking about Zhang Lianci, right?" In Cao Zheng's extremely shocked expression, he calmly broke Cao Zheng's last hope: "But unfortunately, he has been imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice."

"Impossible." Cao Zheng blurted out without even thinking.

"Whether it is or not, you will see it soon." Master Chen San bowed to Emperor Dewu on the bed and asked, "Your Majesty, how do you deal with Cao Zheng?"

Emperor Dewu recovered. He signaled the crown prince to help him up and looked at Cao Zheng who was being held by Deputy Commander He. "Why did you betray me? You grew up with me. I have never treated you unfairly. Why did you betray me?"

In this palace, even the Queen's betrayal did not surprise him, but Cao Zheng's betrayal still surprised him.

Cao Zheng knew that he could not escape death, and he did not hide his innermost thoughts. He sneered, "I admit everything your majesty said, but it was your majesty's family that caused me to become like this!"

"What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten why I entered the palace? It was because of your royal family's inaction. There was a disaster in the millet field in our village, but the court not only did not provide relief, but also increased our tax by 20%. My father and mother had no choice but to buy me into the palace."

No one expected that Eunuch Cao would have such a reason, so he attacked Emperor Dewu. Although it was outrageous, it made sense.

In recent years, the Jin Dynasty has suffered from constant small disasters, and major disasters have occurred from time to time. Rumor has spread among the people that it is because the royal family is immoral and is being punished by heaven!

However, Emperor Dewu didn't know all this. Even if he knew, he would not admit that it was his problem. Wouldn't that prove that his father and he were incompetent?

How could the emperor allow others to doubt or provoke his majesty? He was so angry that his chest heaved, and the feeling of reluctance he had just felt disappeared. Without even trying the man, he directly ordered Cao Zheng to be stabbed to death and his body thrown into a mass grave.

Master Chen San and Marquis Yuzhang left the bedroom and ran into Liu, who was supposed to go back but was waiting outside. They happened to see the queen being invited in, and the queen's eyes stayed on Liu Yu.

Liu Yu knew the queen. She lowered her head with her brows furrowed until a figure appeared in front of her, blocking the uncomfortable look in her eyes. Only then did her brows relax.

"They said someone wanted to assassinate Your Majesty. I was worried, so I came here." Liu Yu explained why she was here.

Master Chen San nodded and did not ask any more questions. He looked at the Queen's back as she left, then looked at Liu Yu and asked Liu Yu in confusion, "Do you know the Queen?"

Liu Yu nodded.

Now, not only Master Chen San was looking at Liu Yu, but even Marquis Yuzhang looked at her curiously: "How do you know the queen?"
