Su Chou smiled at Tong Jia Suyue's father and said, "Lord Longkodo has committed a serious crime. This matter needs to be thoroughly investigated before any further action can be taken. As for whether other members of the Tong Jia clan will be implicated, it would be better if they can make amends for their crimes. If not, then..."

After hearing this, the other people in Tongjia became even more frightened. They really hadn’t lived enough!

"However, Concubine Consort has already pleaded with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for mercy. His Royal Highness will try to be lenient with him. However, if the crime is too serious, it will be difficult for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to handle it!"

If there was testimony from Tonggiya clan members themselves, Longkodo could be sentenced to death directly, and then things would be easier for them.

紫禁城

All the concubines in the six palaces closed the palace doors, stayed in their own rooms obediently, and did not dare to go out at all.

Because the Forbidden City was in chaos at the moment, all the emperor's secret guards and sticky police were dispatched, but they didn't expect that the prince and the queen had already prepared people and were waiting for them.

Xiudong was still wearing the clothes of a palace maid, but if you looked closely, you could see that she was not wearing a flower pot bottom today, and she had hidden weapons in her sleeves and a knife on her waist.

Senior Palace Maid Xiudong held her breath with a firm grip. "The Empress has decreed that assassins have infiltrated the palace today. For the safety of the Emperor and his concubines, these traitors must be killed on the spot."

Xia Qie, the leader of the Sticking Rod Division, pulled away the black mask covering his face and said angrily:

"Xiudong, you are so bold! Do you know who we are? We belong to the emperor's family. If you dare to attack us, it would be treason and high treason. You will be executed along with your entire clan."

But the people behind Xiudong seemed not to have heard anything and they all drew their swords.

Xiudong sneered, "You're about to die, yet you still dare to be stubborn. The Emperor is seriously ill now, how could he mobilize all the people in the Sticking Rod Office? Someone must have impersonated someone to sneak into the palace with ulterior motives. Attack."

Before Xiudong could finish her words, Xia Qi, the leader of the Zhangan group, attacked her first.

Xiudong was also very skilled. She dodged the attack quickly, then pulled out several silver needles from her head and flew towards Xia Qi.

Several silver needles did not hit Xia Qie, but hit the other people at the sticky pole.

"The Empress has ordered the assassins to be executed! Everyone will be heavily rewarded. Kill them!"

The two sides were entangled in a fight, but the emperor's hands were heavier and he still had the upper hand. But at this moment, a group of people came out.

Xia Qi's face changed drastically. He looked at Xiu Dong, who was already blood-thirsty, in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice:

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Where did all these people come from? There are simply not so many people in the palace."

At the beginning, Xia Qie's Zhan Gan Chu and the emperor's secret guards had the upper hand, but now that the manpower has changed, they are immediately at a disadvantage.

Xiudong chuckled, and it was all thanks to the manpower and secret passages left behind by Prince Dun and Nian Gengyao.

This is why the Crown Prince and the Empress were able to transfer so many people to the palace in such a short time. No matter what, we must eliminate all of the Emperor's men today.

The two sides fought for half an hour. Xia Qi was captured alive, and the others were all killed.

Xiudong slowly walked up to Xia Qie and asked, "If you want to live, tell me everything you know, or die!"

Xia Qi gave a relieved smile, then quickly bumped into Xiu Dong's knife and slashed his neck fiercely.

Your Majesty, I will be loyal to you.

Xiudong looked at the dead Xia Qi with disgust, then wiped the blood off his hands with a frown.

"Those who killed the assassin today will be rewarded according to their merits after we return. Let's clean up this place first."

The bodies were dragged away one by one, and then the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department came with a team of palace maids and eunuchs with a pale face to wash away the blood and clean up the traces of the fight.

The steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs took a few deep breaths and secretly warned himself not to ask any more questions. Saving his life is the most important thing. Saving his life is the most important thing.

Broken Yuxuan

Zhen Huan's Sui Yuxuan was the farthest away, but she could still faintly hear the sounds of fighting.

Zhen Huan hugged Jin Xi with one hand and Liu Zhu with the other, and the three of them were trembling.

Liu Zhu asked fearfully, "My lady, I heard there's an assassin infiltrating the palace. Are we in danger?"

Zhen Huan shook her head. "We're in a remote area here, and I'm not a favored concubine, so I shouldn't be affected. Have everyone in Sui Yuxuan guard the walls and the palace gates. No one can get in."

The naive Liu Zhu really thought that an assassin had sneaked in, but the meticulous Zhen Huan and Cui Jinxi had already discovered that something was wrong.

The palace was heavily guarded, and it was impossible for an assassin to sneak in. As for such a large-scale fight, there was only one truth: someone was rebelling.

After Shen Meizhuang faked her death and left the palace, she left a letter for Zhen Huan. After Zhen Huan knew her decision, although she felt a little helpless, she still chose to bless her.

Now it seems that Sister Mei's leaving the palace is really a good thing. I'm afraid the palace will be in chaos soon.

The battle for the crown prince's throne has begun. No matter who the final winner is, he has to plan for himself.

Cui Jinxi was still thinking about Su Peisheng in her heart. She and Su Peisheng were from the same hometown. Su Peisheng had always taken good care of her during these years in the harem.

Now that something like this has happened, Su Peisheng is a favorite of the emperor. If something big happens, he will definitely be affected.

But Cui Jinxi didn't dare to speak. The young lady could hardly protect herself now. Even if they told her, they could do nothing.

Xiao Yunzi was guarding outside the gate of Shuiyuxuan, holding a long pair of tongs in his hand. If anyone dared to break in, he would hit him on the head with this thing.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. Xiao Yunzi was so scared that his face turned pale. What he thought was really coming. Could there really be an assassin?

"Is anyone here? Is anyone here?"

A Jin was knocking on the door anxiously outside. At this moment, he couldn't help but curse in his heart, wondering what the prince was thinking.

The palace is in such chaos right now that no one can hide. Even Prince Xun has gone to keep vigil for the Empress Dowager.

Prince Guo has an awkward identity. Why doesn't he just stay at home quietly, but has to come to the palace to get involved in this mess?

When Prince Guo saw that Ah Jin's knocking on the door was useless, he spoke directly to the inside:

"Don't be afraid. I'm Prince Guo. I came here to see if anything happened to Concubine Wan."

Xiao Yunzi recognized Prince Guo's voice. He carefully looked through the crack in the door and only half-opened the door after confirming that it was not an assassin.

"Prince Guo, the palace is in such chaos right now, why did you come here suddenly?"
