"Your Majesty!"

When Si Sha rushed into the bedroom, he only saw two eye shadows flash past his eyes.

Just as he was about to chase after him, he heard Murong Ye on the bed, holding his abdomen, saying to him, "Go after the assassin!"

"Yes!"

Si Sha pointed at the guards who rushed in and ordered in a deep voice, "You two stand guard at the door, and the rest of you come with me to catch the assassin!"

Ada led Xuanming around the palace guards and hid behind a rockery. "Luckily, we got rid of the guards! I'm not saying anything harsh about you, Ada, but you were too ruthless just now. Madam specifically told us to just scare the virtuous king. If you accidentally hurt Madam's precious brother, Madam will definitely punish you severely!"

Xuanming had a black veil covering his face. After listening to Ada's nagging, his eyes rolled around and he slowly bent down, holding his stomach.

Ada looked at him and rolled his eyes in disgust. "You are such a lazy person! Go ahead!"

Xuan Ming said nothing. After walking out of the rockery, he jumped over the wall of Prince Xian's Mansion at an angle that Ada could not see, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

As soon as Ah Fa came out of the toilet, he heard the guards in the palace making a lot of noise and looking for the assassin everywhere.

He quickly turned around, went back to the toilet and took off his nightgown before coming out.

After tying his nightgown around his waist and hiding it, he walked towards his guest room while muttering quietly, "Why didn't this Ada wait for me and just went off to assassinate the virtuous king alone? Now the whole palace knows about it! I wonder if he's been caught... Eh?"

Before he could finish his words, Ada suddenly rushed out and dragged him into the shadows nearby.

Ah Fa's eyes fell on Ah Da, and seeing that he hadn't even taken off his nightgown, he curled his lips and said, "Why haven't you taken off your nightgown yet? I see the guards at the Xianwang Mansion are shouting and looking for assassins everywhere!"

Ada quickly took off his nightgown and said, "Alright, let's go back to the house. No matter what, we have successfully completed the task assigned by the Madam. Let's just keep what happened tonight to ourselves and never mention it again!"

Ah Fa yawned and nodded, "I know, I know. I'm so sleepy. I have to go back to sleep!"

If he had known that Ada could complete the task alone, he would not have bothered to change into night clothes. It would have been much better to go to bed earlier!

?

Imperial Palace, Hall of Eternal Life.

Xuan Ming knelt on one knee and reported to Murong Che that two waves of assassins had attacked the Xianwang Palace tonight. "Your Majesty, judging by the conversations between the assassins and my subordinates, they are likely the people brought by the *** from the northern border. They are assassinating the Xianwang to frame you, incite conflict between you and the Xianwang, and force the Xianwang to rebel as soon as possible."

Murong Che curled his lips and smiled, "If I had known that Sister was so considerate of me, I wouldn't have let you take action tonight."

"Your Majesty, the virtuous prince now mistakenly believes that you sent someone to assassinate him, and I'm afraid he might rebel at any time."

"It doesn't matter. I'm just worried that he won't rebel."

Murong Che pondered for a moment, walked to the closet, and took out a nightgown from the bottom drawer.

"I am going to visit General Yu. You will have to work hard tonight. Please come with me."

"It's my duty, it's not hard!"

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Murong Ye didn't sleep the whole night after the assassination attempt last night.

He lay in bed, thinking for a long time, and finally made up his mind, "Sister, you are right. Even if I don't do anything, Murong Che will not let me go. Instead of sitting and waiting to die, it is better to burn my boats!"

At the beginning, he let Xue Qingyao enter the palace with the intention of letting Xue Qingyao seduce Murong Che. After gaining Murong Che's trust, he secretly put drugs in the soup that Murong Che drank every day, gradually wearing down Murong Che's body.

In this way, he could obtain the throne without bloodshed.

Unfortunately, things went against her wishes, Xue Qingyao failed to gain the favor she wished for, and Murong Che's frail and sickly health got better and better.

Murong Che had long regarded him as a thorn in his side and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

He was under house arrest before, but now they blatantly sent assassins to kill him!

Murong Mian was delighted to see that he had changed his mind. "Aye, you finally figured it out! You're right to trust me. I won't harm you!"

Murong Ye looked up at Murong Mian who was standing beside the bed and nodded vigorously, "Sister, I can't wait even a moment longer. Speed ​​is of the essence in war. I plan to act tomorrow and kill Murong Che by surprise!"

Murong Mian asked Afa and Ada to pretend to be assassins in order to strengthen his determination to rebel, but he did not plan to act immediately.

At this moment, after hearing Murong Ye's words, the smile on her lips froze. "Aye, isn't it too soon to take action tomorrow? Or should we wait for your brother-in-law's 100,000-man army?"

Jiang Yuanshan's plan was to divide the 100,000 troops into 20 teams and rush to the capital in batches.

But even if they were sent in batches, the officials along the way might not be unsuspecting if the northern border suddenly sent so many soldiers to Beijing.

Once anyone reports the matter to the court, Murong Che will get the news. Once he becomes wary of Jiang Yuanshan, it will be difficult for them to do anything.

Murong Ye's dark eyes narrowed slowly as he thought about it, a gleam of brilliance flashing through them. "Even my elder sister thought it was fast, so Murong Che certainly couldn't have expected that I would act immediately! Now that the palace is completely defenseless against the Xianwang Mansion, we can seize this opportunity to strike and our chances of success will be even greater!"

Murong Mian didn't think much about it and was immediately convinced by him, "Okay, I'll do as you say!"

Murong Ye's hand slowly stroked his abdomen where the wound had burst open again, his eyes cold to the bone.

Murong Che, you forced me to do this time!

If you didn't want to kill me, why would I take the risk and rebel at this critical moment?

After Murong Ye finished talking with his sister, he called Si Sha for a private talk.

"Send a message to the secret agents stationed in the East Camp tonight and have them pour this powder into the water source of the East Camp."

The only military force in the capital that could directly threaten them was the tens of thousands of soldiers in the East Camp.

As long as the Eastern Camp is destroyed, Murong Che's throne will be over.

Si Sha took the powder he handed over with both hands and said, "I will definitely fulfill your mission!"

After Si Sha left, Murong Ye turned the jade ring on his index finger and raised the corners of his lips faintly.

Long before he was crowned king, he had already placed many chess pieces in the palace, and now it was time to use his most hidden chess piece.

……

On the outskirts of the capital, East Camp.

After Si Sha handed the medicinal powder given by Murong Ye to the anspies, he left quietly.

It will start tomorrow, and he still has a lot of things to arrange.

These secret agents have lived in Dongdaying for several years, so it is safer to leave the drugging task to them.

Several secret agents each took a packet of medicine powder and went to the water source and kitchen in Dongdaying.

However, these secret agents never expected that as soon as they opened the oil paper package and before they had time to put the medicine into the water, a cold shout came from behind them.

"Don't move!"

It turned out that Xue Youli had already written a letter to her elder brother Xue Wuji, informing him in advance that the secret agents in the East Camp would take action soon.

Xue Wuzhi had injured his leg when fighting with Night Crow before, and has been recuperating at home most of the time recently.

After learning from Xue Youli that Murong Ye was planning a rebellion, he, Yu Minyan, and several other young generals not only took turns keeping watch, but also secretly sent people to keep an eye on the most suspicious people in the East Camp.

As soon as Si Sha left, they locked onto these secret agents and caught them red-handed before they could administer the drugs.

These secret agents were tied up and brought before Xue Wuji, asking him for instructions, "General Xue, what should we do with these people?"

Xue Wuzhi stood in front of the tent. Even though he was still leaning on a crutch, the fierce aura he exuded made people dare not look directly at him.

He lowered his eyes to glance at the hidden stake kneeling on the ground and said in a deep voice, "According to military regulations, behead them on the spot!"

The secret agents panicked and kowtowed in apology, "General Xue, we won't do it again! We won't do it again! Please spare our lives!"

Xue Wuji's expression was stern, unwavering. "If we hadn't been prepared today, the entire camp would have been destroyed by the drug you gave us! You betrayed the camp and your comrades, and you still want to survive? You're just wishful thinking! Execute me immediately!"

With a wave of his sword, several hidden assassins were killed on the spot.

Xue Wuji pointed at the body lying on the ground and ordered, "Find a vacant lot to bury the body."

These people did deserve to die for betraying their companions, but there was no need to humiliate their corpses after death.

?

The next day, just after dawn, Xue Youli was awakened by the noisy noise outside.

"Banxia, ​​what's going on outside?"

When Xue Youli called Banxia to comb her hair, her eyes were still half closed.

Banxia leaned close to her ear and whispered, "My Lord, I heard that His Royal Highness the Virtuous Prince has rebelled and is leading over 10,000 men to attack the Imperial City! The rebels have surrounded all four palace gates and are banging on them. I'm afraid they'll be in soon! Many people in the harem are terrified. The Emperor has ordered Concubine Rong and Concubine Li to take charge! They've ordered everyone to stay in the palace and not move around! Everyone in Lingyun Palace has gathered in our courtyard to discuss the Virtuous Prince's rebellion, causing panic!"

"Then why didn't you wake me up earlier?"

Banxia put down her comb and took out a golden hairpin from her dressing box. "The Emperor said that even if the sky falls, he won't let us servants disturb your sleep."

Murong Che suddenly confronted Xue Youli yesterday and mentioned Murong Ye's rebellion.

So Xue Youli did not hide anything and stayed up late last night to discuss many solutions with him.

It was not until the second half of the night that she fell into a drowsy sleep because she was too sleepy to open her eyes.

Murong Che did not sleep all night and left Shuiyuexuan at dawn.

Before leaving, Murong Che told Banxia not to disturb Xue Youli's rest.

At this moment, Xue Youli raised her hand to block Banxia's move to put a hairpin on her hair, and casually picked up a jade hairpin to tie her hair. "That's enough. Come on, follow me out to take a look!"

At times like this, the harem must be kept stable to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to create chaos.

Murong Ye was not a reckless person. He dared to set the day of rebellion today, and he must have made preparations for a desperate fight.

In the harem, there was only one place where he could make a move, and that was the Cining Palace.

Queen Mother Yin was Murong Che's biological mother. If Murong Ye threatened Murong Che to give up the throne by using Queen Mother Yin's life, Murong Che would not be able to do anything freely.

And as far as she knew, Murong Ye's last trump card was in the Cining Palace!

Xue Youli walked out of the bedroom, glanced at the people gathered in the courtyard in twos and threes, and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Pingzi, Xiao Anzi, pass on my order. All palace servants in Lingyun Palace should return to their respective duties. If anyone takes advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, they will be immediately taken to the Criminal Justice Department and charged with espionage!"

"Yes!"

When the maids and eunuchs who had come from Jinghua Pavilion to inquire about the news heard this, they hurried away.

In the crowd, Luoluo glanced at Xue Youli, her eyes flashed, and then she followed the others away.

She came to help Xue Qingyao to gather information, but the guys in Shui Yuexuan were as tight-lipped as if they were locked, each one stricter than the other.

She learned nothing except what everyone knew.

Xue Youli naturally noticed Luoluo, but there was no need for her to take action against this kind of jumping clown, as someone would naturally take care of her.

"Xiao Zhongzi, come with me to the Cining Palace!"

……

Outside the palace gate.

Although Murong Ye had an abdominal injury, he rode on a tall horse when the carriage arrived at the palace gate.

At this critical moment, momentum is more important than anything else.

Since he had the upper hand to win, he naturally had to attack directly to Xuan Zheng Hall in one go!

At this moment, he was dressed in a battle robe, his left hand tightening the reins, and the long sword in his right hand pointed straight to the sky. "My fellow soldiers, Murong Che not only murdered the Princess of Nanzhao and attempted to provoke war between the two countries, but he also plotted against me. Furthermore, I have discovered that the eldest and third princes also died at his hands. He murdered his brother and is a tyrant, unworthy of his position! Everyone has the right to kill him! I, the king, will obey the will of heaven and slay the tyrant today!"

The people who had followed him to attack the imperial city also raised their swords and guns, shouting in agreement, "Your virtue is unworthy of your position! Kill the tyrant! Kill the tyrant!"

"Brothers, let's break down the palace gates! Charge in! His Highness has said that whoever can take the tyrant's head will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold! Charge!"

"Come on!"

Seeing the soldiers' high morale, Murong Ye curled up a sinister sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Murong Che, your time of death has come!

This day next year will be the anniversary of your death!
