To support exiled officials, start by worshipping the God of Wealth

outside the temple.

The sun shone on many students. They passed the imperial examination and came to continue the palace examination. They knelt on the ground, feeling expectant and nervous. Jiang Jing saw many familiar faces.

For example, Xiong Che.

After a long time, Eunuch Shang walked out of the palace and said, "The emperor is ill, the palace examination has been postponed!"

The students didn't dare to speak.

Jiang Jing frowned. Logically speaking, if the event was to be postponed, it should be announced to the world in advance. He plucked up his courage, looked up, and met the gaze of Eunuch Shang, who seemed to be... asking for help?

boom!

There was a loud noise in the hall.

Eunuch Shang's back stiffened, and he waved his hands impatiently, "Hurry up and take them out of the palace. You'll be in trouble for disturbing the emperor's peace!"

The guards hurriedly took the students away.

Jiang Jing pretended to fall behind, listening to the voice in the palace, frowning slightly. Why was the emperor's voice so sharp? The guards urged him to leave, and Jiang Jing said, "Brother, I want to ask if Brother Chen Hao is not on duty today?"

"No." The guard looked straight ahead.

Leaving the palace, Xiong Che asked, "Did something happen?"

"Yes." Jiang Jing's face was solemn. He gestured to avoid the crowd. The two of them got on the carriage together and drove away from the palace. "Something must have happened in the palace."

Xiong Che asked: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Jing chuckled: "I don't know at the moment, I'll take you home."

Xiong Che grabbed his sleeve and said reluctantly: "We are not brothers, but our women are sisters. This is a meritorious thing, so let me go home?"

Jiang Jing said: "It's also easy to lose your head."

"That's fate." Xiong Che said, "Let's go together."

He also wanted to achieve fame and fortune as soon as possible and create a better future for Xiuying. When Yingying first arrived in Shengjing, she wanted to open a shop to earn money, but he didn't dare to do so. First, Yingying was pregnant, and second, he was afraid of encountering difficult customers when opening a shop.

He can't solve it.

It's not a good thing to bother Jiusu every time.

There are always places that Jiusu can't take care of.

Jiang Jing said: "Come to Jiang's house after dark tonight."

Xiong Che nodded in agreement.

The yard they bought was small, but the location was good.

He bought two strings of candied haws.

"Yingying, I'm back."

Xiuying was sewing clothes for her child. When she heard the sound, she put down her needlework and looked over, wondering, "So fast? Did she pass the palace examination?"

Xiong Che said aggrievedly: "Yingying, you are bullying me."

"I didn't." Xiuying leaned back in her chair and ate the candied haws he had bought. "Don't cry. Tell me what happened."

Xiong Che poured her hot water and massaged her shoulders and legs.

"The palace examination has been postponed."

"Postponed?" Xiuying sighed, "It's really sudden. Why do I feel like you seem to be worried about something? Did something happen?"

Xiong Che scratched his head and looked away: "Nothing much, it's just that the people I went with wanted to get together, and I was wondering whether to go. Master Jiang is also here."

Xiuying said, "Master Jiang is here too, so go ahead and learn how to be an official from him. Don't worry, I'll be at home, nothing will happen, there are plenty of servants in the courtyard."

My home is very close to the clinic and Li Mansion.

As night fell, Xiong Che looked back reluctantly and said, "Wait for me to come back."

Outside the palace.

Four people squatted under the wall. Song Wang frowned and asked in confusion: "Where did the ladder come from?"

Jiusu coughed lightly and said, "Someone put it here in advance. Let's go into the palace first."

Sit on the wall and move the long ladder over.

The palace patrol guards were replaced every incense stick, and they took advantage of the gap to sneak in quickly.

Jiusu said: "We will split into two groups and reunite behind the rockery in the Imperial Garden in an hour. Remember, even if something really happens to the Emperor, we must not alert him."

Yongyan Palace is empty.

Jiang Jing stepped forward and knocked out the two guards, dragged them aside, and cut their sleeves. He lowered his voice and said, "It's a butterfly pattern. The emperor is in trouble."

The two men were tied up, their socks were taken off and stuffed in their mouths.

Soon, I woke up from the stench.

At the same time, Jiusu and Jiang Jing had already sneaked into the bedroom. They heard a loud snoring sound from inside. Hiding behind a pillar and looking towards the bed, they saw that the man there was fatter than the emperor.

"The love needle." Jiusu handed the blowpipe to the man, "Just one."

Jiang Jing aimed the eunuch guarding the door and blew the love needle at him. When he hit the ground with a sound, he slid over quickly and caught the man. As for the man on the bed, he held the sword tightly in his hand.

It is connected to the window next to it.

If he was alarmed, the man would pull the rope.

"Go in first."

The inner door was only half-closed. Jiang Jing was watching the movements of the people on the bed from outside. Jiusu pushed the door open and saw three people tied up. They were the emperor and empress who had been claiming to be ill for a long time.

When Eunuch Shang woke up and saw the person coming, he was extremely surprised.

Jiusu made a gesture for silence, and the slight noise woke up the emperor and empress.

Emperor Xu shed two lines of tears in excitement: "My beloved lord..."

Jiusu took the initiative to say, "Your Majesty, let's get to the point. What on earth has happened in the past few days?"

Emperor Xu said angrily, "That night, this villain broke into the palace, held me and the queen hostage, and threatened me to order Song Wang not to investigate the case of that year. After that, he imprisoned me here and forced me to drink some soup. When I get out, I will kill that guy!"

Empress Xu said, "Miss Jiu, please show the emperor a picture. He just vomited blood."

There was a pool of black blood on the ground.

"You've been poisoned." She felt your pulse and said, "I have an antidote here, take it first."

Emperor Xu moved his body and said, "My dear Lord Jiu, please rescue me quickly. When I get out, I will definitely reward you greatly."

Jiusu shook his head: "You two can't go out for the time being. I guess the people from the Butterfly Sect have come to the palace. Your body is not suitable for large-scale activities. You have to stay here for a few days."

Emperor Xu was so angry that he wanted to cry: "I don't want to be here anymore."

"At the earliest tomorrow night, at the latest the day after tomorrow, I will definitely rescue you." Jiusu said firmly.

Several people gathered at the rockery in the back garden.

Jiusu said: "The emperor and the queen have been kidnapped, and Prince Anmu is in the palace right now."

Song Wang said: "We went to the imperial study and everything inside was turned over. The imperial seal on the table was also missing. He may have taken the imperial seal."

Jiang Jing said: "The palace is not safe, let's leave first."

Xiong Che was worried that something might happen to Xiuying, so Jiusu asked Zitan to take care of her first.

The door of the Jiang Mansion was closed. Jiang Jinyou frowned when he heard the news. He said, "Prince Anmu is still alive? He poisoned the emperor and wanted to usurp the throne!?"

The usurpation of the throne is an established fact.

"But I didn't expect him to be so bold and still sleeping soundly in the emperor's bedroom."

The emperor's character is becoming increasingly lazy, but at least he is not a tyrant. If King Anmu is the instigator of this crime, he is an unforgivable villain.

He must not be allowed to succeed.

Jiusu said: "We need to gather all our forces and set up an ambush in advance. It would be best if we find a time when the emperor can go out."

Suddenly, Jiang Jing walked to the calendar.

He placed his hands on one spot and said, "The Spring Equinox is a day of worship, the Autumn Equinox is a moon worship, and the day after tomorrow, the emperor needs to go to the Sun Altar to worship. Everything is ready. Even if King Anmu asked the emperor to claim illness, he couldn't resist the 'Spring Equinox is a national ceremony.' As a former prince, he should also know the etiquette. On this day, the emperor must come forward."
