Xie Zihan frowned and looked at the guard in front of him, not understanding why he was hesitant and reluctant to move.

"What happened?"

"Your Highness, the Emperor has sent people to guard the Prince's Mansion. No one is allowed to enter or leave."

Xie Zihan said indifferently: "Didn't we send people to guard here before? Couldn't I go out anyway?"

The emperor thought that he could be trapped like this? He didn't know that those people had already surrendered to him.

The guard said, "This time, the loyal and brave marquis is guarding the place. No matter what I do, they will not allow anyone to enter or leave."

"and... ..."

Seeing him hesitating, Xie Zihan shouted, "Hurry up and tell me, and what?"

"The soldiers guarding the gates don't even let us go out to buy things. Even if we need something, we give them money and they buy it for us."

Xie Zihan's anger, which had just been suppressed, rose again: "Asshole... go and tell him the message."

When Li Luo arrived at the Regent's Palace, Shen Jingxuan was reading Xie Lingxiao's letter with her thoughts drifting away.

Looking at the two words "I miss you" above, Shen Jingxuan felt both sad and aggrieved in her heart.

But she knew that it was not Xie Lingxiao's fault, it was just fate.

They obviously had a good relationship and loved each other, but now they ended up like this, separated by two places and forgotten by their lover.

"Xuan'er, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, is there something A Luo needs to do when he comes to your house?"

Seeing that she was unwilling to talk, Li Luo did not force her and had to bring up the matter of the Prince's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"This is a letter from Song Yi to Xie Zihan. I copied a copy. Song Yi's letter has been delivered to Xie Zihan."

Shen Jingxuan took the letter and saw that Xie Lingxiao had captured two more cities, and the corners of her lips gradually curled up.

After reading the letter, she paused with the corners of her lips raised: "Xie Zihan and Song Yi have other arrangements, do you know what they are?"

"Xie Zihan sent a message, asking Lu Zhong to act as soon as possible."

"Keep an eye on Lu Zhong and see what he wants to do."

Shen Jingxuan called Ling Qiong: "Ling Qiong, pass the message to the people in the palace to see who else Lu Zhong met when he entered the palace besides the queen."

"Try to find out their plans without revealing your identity."

When Ling Qiong left in response, Zhao Yiliang hurried into the room.

Seeing this, Shen Jingxuan asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Lu Zhong has entered the palace and gone to the Queen's place." When passing by him, Ling Qiong suddenly stopped.

Shen Jingxuan looked at Zhao Yiliang strangely, not knowing what to say to him.

Lu Zhong had met the Queen privately more than once, and Xie Zihan had just sent a message to Lu Zhong, so it was not surprising that he went to see the Queen.

But why was Zhao Yiliang so anxious for the two to meet?

Seeing Shen Jingxuan frowning at him, Zhao Yiliang continued: "Lu Zhong did not go to see the emperor when he entered the palace, but went to the queen privately."

"The Emperor left soon after they met."

After saying that, Zhao Yiliang sat down angrily, staring at the ground and stopped talking.

"You just happened to see them meeting. Is that why you're in such a hurry to come back?"

Seeing that he remained silent, Shen Jingxuan looked unhappy: "Can you stop being an eyesore? Just answer my questions and get back to the palace."

Zhao Yiliang raised his eyes and looked at Shen Jingxuan: "Why am I bothering you? You just don't like me."

Shen Jingxuan said softly: "I still have some self-awareness."

"you... ..."

Zhao Yiliang knew that Shen Jingxuan was in a bad temper right now. She would feel irritated even if nothing happened, not to mention that there were so many things waiting for her to make a decision.

He shouldn't argue with her over such trivial matters.

Zhao Yiliang's eyes flickered as he said, "The emperor is really useless. As soon as they met, before he could scold the queen and Lu Zhong, he was carried out by the eunuchs."

Shen Jingxuan was puzzled: "Did you inform the emperor to go to the queen's bedroom?"

Zhao Yilian shook his head slightly.

"I wanted to find out what Lu Zhong and the Queen would discuss, so I didn't tell the Emperor."

Zhao Yiliang looked at Shen Jingxuan somewhat guiltily and lowered his head silently.

He wanted to know what Lu Zhong and the Queen were discussing, so he took the opportunity to make some noise and scare the two of them.

But I didn't expect the emperor to arrive so timely.

After hearing what Zhao Yiliang said, Shen Jingxuan suddenly felt that there was something unusual.

The emperor is busy with all kinds of affairs and it is impossible for him to keep an eye on the two of them all the time. Even if someone reports it in time, it is impossible for them to appear so promptly.

Unless he knew in advance that Lu Zhong had entered the palace.

"The emperor fainted, so you left the palace? Did you find out what the queen and Lu Zhong did next?"

"I watched them follow Eunuch Deng to the emperor's bedroom before I left."

Shen Jingxuan and Li Luo looked at each other, and Li Luo said, "Are Lu Zhong and Xie Zihan's target the emperor?"

"If not, how do you explain Xie Zihan's letter, and how do you explain the emperor's sudden visit to the queen's bedroom?"

Zhao Yiliang's eyes widened: "You mean, they planned everything in advance, and the emperor's coma was also part of their plan?"

Li Luo’s words frightened Zhao Yiliang.

How bold were the Queen and Lu Zhong to have plotted against the Emperor?

Shen Jingxuan's expression gradually turned ugly.

She waited every day for the emperor to take action, wanting to see how he would deal with Xie Zihan, but she never saw him take any action.

He finally beat Xie Zi Han with fifty sticks and made Xie Zi Han stay in the Prince's Mansion obediently.

However, the emperor was anxious to find something to hold against the queen and Lu Zhong, and he fainted from anger.

Thinking of the emperor's situation, Shen Jingxuan couldn't help but rub her forehead lightly.

The emperor suddenly fell into a coma and no one knew when he would wake up. The queen had Lu Zhong's support, so even though she did not have the power to manage the harem, the other concubines did not dare to provoke her.

Lu Zhong was originally the prime minister, the leader of all the ministers. Now the emperor was in a coma, and Xie Lingxiao was not in Shangjing City.

The only person who can take charge of the court in Beiling Kingdom is probably Xie Zihan, right?

Is this the purpose of Xie Zihan asking Lu Zhong to take action?

Shen Jingxuan pursed her lips and looked at Zhao Yiliang: "You go to the palace now and keep an eye on the movements in the palace. If there is anything unusual, report back in time."

"Keep an eye on the emperor's bedroom. If the emperor wakes up, inform me immediately."

After hearing what Shen Jingxuan said, Zhao Yiliang returned to the palace quickly without stopping.

Li Luo didn't wait for Shen Jingxuan's instructions. He just said to go back and keep an eye on Xie Zihan, then got up and left.

After the two left, Shen Jingxuan leaned on the couch, looking tired.

Now the war on the border has not stopped, the emperor in the capital is in a coma, and the entire court is leaderless. No one knows what will happen.

I don’t know how long these days will last.

Shen Jingxuan just hoped that things would be over soon.

If time goes on, her baby will get older and older, and she might not be able to take care of so many things by then.

In the evening, the gate of the palace was opened wide, and a man and a horse rushed out of the palace quickly. Even when passing through a busy street, they did not slow down.

A moment later, a man and a horse rode out of the city gate and headed towards the border of Beiling State.

When Shen Jingxuan heard Ling Qiong's report, she was shocked and asked, "Eight hundred miles in an emergency?"
