The peerless and dark princess

Zuo Yunxin had a good grasp of Chu Moxuan's personality. He ignored her and let her fuss pass. Zuo Yunxin really wanted to meet her future sister-in-law. She had heard some rumors in the past few days, but she couldn't understand why her brother and sister-in-law had such a bad reputation. In her interactions, they were not as they were said to be.

Dong Mingrui of the Dong family also learned the news, and knew that Zuo Ci's actions were probably more than just revenge. However, as his brother-in-law, he could not get away from it no matter what. Moreover, once Lu Qinghan's identity was exposed, even if he did not follow Zuo Ci, they would already be in the same boat.

"Mingxue, don't go out recently and stay with your sister-in-law."

"Don't worry, brother. I will stay with my sister-in-law all the time."

As the fiancée of Chu Lixiao from Prince Yan's Mansion, Dong Mingxue has been raised and taught by Madam Dong since she was young, so she naturally knows a lot of things through observation and exposure. However, she just agreed without saying much. The two siblings have a tacit understanding that Lu Qinghan (Zuo Yunhan) must not know about it, so that she can rest assured and take care of her pregnancy.

"Master, the government has already begun to take action."

"Okay, what about the others?"

"Leng Xue and his men are already waiting outside the capital. The Crown Prince has already 'successfully' subdued those generals from Southern Xinjiang. Yesterday, we received news that the Western Rong troops have withdrawn. They should be preparing to return to the capital..."

Yan Li held Gao Yong's flying book and frowned, "I didn't expect the situation in the capital to be so chaotic."

I originally thought that it was a trap set by Chen Yan to get Chen Yu back to the capital, but I didn't expect it to be such a mess. Are the people in the royal family so useless?

"What's wrong, Yan Li?"

"Brother Yu, this is the news Gao Yong sent back from the capital. Would you like to take a look?" Yan Li said as he handed it to Chen Yu to read.

Chen Yu frowned as he took a look at it. How could the capital be in such chaos? Emperor Chen Yan was actually ill, the Crown Prince had left the capital, and the princes were ready to make a move? The royal family was also making moves?!

"What has Chen Yan been doing these years? Is he worthy of my father? No wonder he asked someone to find me and save my life."

It's no wonder Chen Yu was angry at him for not fighting for his own interests. He'd been on the throne for so many years, and how could he not be aware of the actions of the princes below him? And hadn't Chen Yan ascended to the throne that way himself? And the foreign enemies weren't left without help like they were back then. How had he gotten to this point?

Not to mention how angry Chen Yu was about this mess, but Meng Yujiao, together with Guan Lianyi's mother, the Meng family and others, started to force the palace to rebel. As another concubine in the palace, Concubine Liang found out early, but she had no children, so she tried to protect herself.

Even the common people in the capital city noticed that something was wrong, not to mention the officials in the capital city. Zhao Yuliang and other ministers were already watched by the Meng family and others, waiting for action. Chen Yunbin in the dark thought that he was hiding well, but he was just a clown in the eyes of others, and he still wanted to reap the benefits.

"Your Majesty, the Queen has taken action." The eunuch said in Chen Yan's ear.

If this eunuch had not been made sick by Chen Yunjie for a few days and replaced by another eunuch for two days, Chen Yan would not have been easily poisoned. Even the old eunuch, knowing Meng Yujiao's actions, believed that the poisoning was done by Meng Yujiao, and naturally did not know that he was being tricked.

"My Queen!! My dear son!!"

The wind in the evening was a bit chilly, and even the people outside seemed to sense something was wrong and went home early, while a lot of people had already gathered outside the capital.

"Well, it's settled, let's get started at midnight!!"

"clear!!"

"Wait until midnight to open the city gates and let people in."

At this moment, Chen Yunfeng took Muruohan and her son out of the palace and handed them over to his confidant to take them away from the capital.

"Ruohan, take your son and leave. If this succeeds, I will definitely take you back. If it fails, take your son and leave the capital far away and never come back."

At this moment, Mu Ruohan was still somewhat touched, but she was more looking forward to Chen Yunfeng's success. Of course, she didn't want to get involved in the matter, but she still had to refuse on the surface, "Ruohan won't leave, I want to stay with you..."

"Liu Feng, take her and the emperor's grandson away and far away from the capital."

Chen Yunfeng hardened his heart and asked his confidant Liu Feng to take the mother and son away, and even stuffed a lot of banknotes into the baby's swaddling clothes. If possible, he would like to take Shen Xinyue away as well and let her take care of Muruhan and her son, but Shen Xinyue was Mu Heng's concubine, so she was too big a target, so he could only take Muruhan and her son away.

At midnight, fireworks exploded in the sky as a signal, the city gates flew open, and the palace was in chaos. Meanwhile, the Empress Dowager Meng Yujiao sat calmly. The others, including Concubine Liang, were all seated in the palace. Concubine Liang was the only one who remained so calm throughout. Meng Yujiao, along with Concubine Liang, felt a certain respect for her, admiring her as a sister who had grown up with them from the Prince's Palace.

"Queen, it's useless for you to control us. We were just sent here by our family..."

"Well, you're right, but I don't want you to mess things up. What if the news leaks out? Look, look, Concubine Liang is worthy of being Concubine Liang, she's still drinking tea calmly~"

"The tea in the Queen's palace is much better than my own. I have to drink a few more cups..."

"Aren't you worried about your Liang family?"

"Why worry about what they're doing? They've been officials in the court for many years, so they naturally understand things better than I do. They know exactly what they should and shouldn't do. Besides, even if things get chaotic, I'm just a princess, not even my biological daughter. Why bother with all that..."

-

"Second Prince, the palace gate has been opened."

"Follow me into the palace!"

Chen Yunfeng took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He had reached this point, and there was no turning back. He had listened to his mother's words step by step and come to this point. This situation was his own fault. When he opened his eyes again, he was calm and rode into the palace first.

The guards around him had already killed the maids and eunuchs who were running around, while many of them were kneeling trembling and dared not move.

On the other side, Chen Yunbin was about to lead his soldiers into the palace under the banner of eliminating rebels, but the crown prince Chen Yunjie captured Chen Yunbin and others first, while Chen Yu on the other side did not move his troops.

Chen Yu only brought back less than two hundred people when he returned to Beijing. It would be disadvantageous if he took action now. He had to wait for the right opportunity to take action.

"Father Emperor!!"

"My prince, not bad."

Although Emperor Chen Yan's breath was weak at this moment, he did not look seriously ill, which made Chen Yunfeng a little stunned.

"You are not..."

"I was poisoned by your mother, so why is it not as you imagined, right?"
