Shen Jingxuan sat down on the chair and gently rubbed her forehead, feeling that she had overlooked something.

Xie Lingxiao had just left Shangjing City yesterday, and today Xie Zihan couldn't wait to pass on the news.

Something must have happened in the meantime for Xie Zihan to make the decision.

After a while, Shen Jingxuan suddenly stared at Ling Qiong, causing her to break out in a cold sweat.

"Princess...Princess..."

Shen Jingxuan retracted her gaze: "A Luo, have the people in the palace given the order?"

"Have personnel been deployed at the several places where food and fodder can be transported?"

Li Luo said: "I have given the order, but it will take some time for them to arrive."

Shen Jingxuan stood up and walked to the window, looking out quietly.

Time. What they lack most now is time.

They didn't know what Xie Zihan wanted to do next, and there was no way to plan ahead.

"Tell the disciples in the palace that no matter if anyone is planning to take the food or fodder, as long as they see it, they should grab it first."

Li Luo was shocked and said, "Just robbed them? No need to protect them, just send them to the border?"

Shen Jingxuan taunted, "Wait for them to deliver it? I'm afraid they won't be able to deliver it."

"If Xie Zihan really colluded with Xiling State, how could he allow the grain to be delivered safely?"

"Instead of spending so many people to protect the food, why don't we grab it and deliver it ourselves?"

If Xie Zihan had seized the food first, those who were escorting the food would not have survived.

At least the people in the temple only asked for food and supplies, and they would spare their lives, which could be considered as saving them.

"Okay, I'll go tell the people in the temple to change their plans."

Li Luo turned and walked out, but saw Ling Huan hurriedly walked into the room.

"Princess, Lu Zhong has gone to the palace."

Shen Jingxuan raised her eyebrows slightly: "Zhao Yiliang's movements are so fast?"

Ling Huan said: "Ling Chen sent a message saying that Zhao Yiliang left a letter in Lu Zhong's study and left. Ling Chen followed him all the way and saw him enter the palace."

In broad daylight, Zhao Yiliang was indeed courageous enough.

Is he willing to risk his own life just to know the truth?

Shen Jingxuan said: "Ling Qiong, notify the people in the palace to help him when necessary."

How could such a serious injury be healed so quickly in just one night?

Is he exchanging his life for the truth? Shen Jingxuan couldn't help but secretly scold him for being stupid.

Lu Zhong and the Queen are right in front of him, so why should Zhao Yiliang be in such a hurry?

Ling Qiong responded and quickly left the room.

They didn't expect that Zhao Yiliang, who had just mentioned yesterday that he wanted to join forces with Shen Jingxuan, would use the secret sentries in the palace to save his life today.

The Zhao Yilian they were worried about was currently sitting in a secluded spot above the Queen's bedroom, resting with his eyes closed.

When he heard footsteps, he looked into the hall along the tiles he had already lifted.

When the Queen saw the palace maid bringing Lu Zhong into the palace, she was stunned for a moment and then quickly stepped forward to greet them.

"Why did you enter the palace today? You didn't even inform me in advance." The queen said, looking behind Lu Zhong.

Seeing that his trusted followers were behind him, he hurriedly asked them to close the door of the palace, and for a moment there were only two people left in the bedroom.

Lu Zhong looked at the queen who was gently tugging at his sleeve, and his anger after receiving the news instantly decreased by half.

"Why didn't you listen to me and chose this moment to attack Shen Jingxuan?"

Seeing Lu Zhong's grim expression, the Queen took back his hand and said, "How about we do it now? I can't let him ruin Han'er."

"You also know that Han'er has already done everything for her. I can't let him continue to make mistakes."

When Zhao Yiliang heard the queen's words, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the two people in the hall.

Lu Zhong said loudly: "Of course I know, but why rush? Didn't I promise you that I would wait until Xie Lingxiao defeated the Xiling Kingdom before taking action?"

"Now Xie Lingxiao has not yet arrived at the border. If you really succeed, have you thought about the consequences?"

The Queen saw Lu Zhong talking louder and louder, and her eyes were stained with tears: "Consequences? Have you ever thought about Han'er? If Han'er continues to make mistakes, let alone the throne, he may not even be able to keep his position as the Crown Prince."

"Seeing Han'er's actions becoming more and more excessive, how can I not be anxious?"

She is different from Lu Zhong. Lu Zhong not only has Xie Zihan as his son, he also has Lu Zhenyu and Lu Jinxuan.

But I only have Xie Zihan.

Lu Zhong said, "Are you just going to ignore it because you're in a hurry? The emperor is in good health now, and it's impossible for him to abdicate in a short time. If there is no one at the border to repel the enemy, have you thought about the consequences?"

"Consequences, consequences, I don't care about those, I just want Han'er to be fine."

Seeing Lu Zhong constantly scolding her, the Queen clenched her hands tightly and cried, "You just don't care about Han'er. You still have Yu'er and Xuan'er. How can you be sincere to Han'er?"

"Han'er has been with me since he was a child, but Yu'er and Xuan'er have been with you. You only care about them."

Lu Zhong's eyes were red: "Han'er is also my child, when have I ever not cared about him?"

"Since I had him, I've made so many plans for him. Aren't you the one who knows best?"

"As for Yu'er and Xuan'er, in order not to make you angry, when have I ever hugged them since they were little? When have I ever been close to them?"

When the queen heard what Lu Zhong said, she was speechless and just stood there crying.

Zhao Yiliang looked at the two of them with great interest and couldn't help but feel happy about today's actions.

He never expected that he would know such a shocking secret.

After Lu Zhong finished speaking, he looked at the queen who was crying non-stop, and pursed his lips slightly.

After a moment, he took a few steps forward and held the queen in his arms.

"It's not that I don't care about Han'er, it's just that this is really not the right time."

"Why don't you think about what will happen to the border if Xie Lingxiao returns to the city at this time?"

“Even if we are fully prepared and let Haner take that position, how will he cope with it?”

The queen also calmed down at this time. Although tears were still streaming down her cheeks, she lay in Lu Zhong's arms without saying a word.

Looking at the queen like this, Lu Zhong patted her on the back and sighed slightly.

Zhao Yiliang curled his lips and smiled, looking at the two of them hugging each other tightly, and nodded with satisfaction.

That's great, he has something to do again.

In the bedroom, after the queen calmed down, she asked, "Have you made arrangements?"

"Now that Han'er is like this, I don't want to wait even a moment."

Lu Zhong comforted him, "Don't worry, we will make a decision after we get the news from the border."

He didn't know that because of this sentence, the queen got angry again and pushed him away.

"No hurry, no hurry, why are there no hurry for anything?"

"Do you want to wait until the emperor learns the truth and punishes the Prime Minister's Mansion before you rush?"

"Brother, I have endured it for so many years and I don't want to go on any longer."

Lu Zhong coaxed: "Just wait for the border..."

He looked at the queen's hair, his eyes suddenly widened, he raised his hand and touched it lightly, his fingers instantly flushed.

Lu Zhong slowly raised his head and looked at the missing tiles above the bedroom, his eyes turning red.

"Here comes an assassin."
