Good luck in pregnancy, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion has a soft waist

During this period, job assignments were frequently adjusted, and the intensity of daily inspections of the areas surrounding the Imperial Palace and even every corner inside and outside the city was significantly increased.

In addition, Duke Anguo also made a special trip to the western border area where a large number of elite troops were stationed.

West Camp, where he stayed and controlled the situation.

Soon afterwards, a sternly worded and resolute edict that could not be refuted was quickly sent to the palace where Prince Xuan was located, explicitly requiring him to set off for his own territory within one month to officially take up his post.

Faced with a series of sudden changes and blows, King Xuan clearly felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

He knew that the vast network of relationships he had painstakingly built up secretly within the capital over the years had recently suffered setbacks and heavy losses, and now he was faced with the fate of having to bid farewell to this power-hungry capital...

Considering that the days until he leaves for his fiefdom are numbered and he might meet with an accident soon, His Majesty's move is truly brilliant.

Your Majesty did not deal with him immediately, probably for the sake of his reputation.

After all, in this world where reputation is everything, an emperor who directly kills people will bring himself a lot of criticism.

However, how could we be willing to let the emperor succeed?

How can the power and authority that I have painstakingly accumulated over the years be easily destroyed just because of a thought from Your Majesty?

We absolutely cannot just sit there and wait for death.

Therefore, in order to confuse the enemy, Prince Xuan's Mansion began to appear unusually busy, and all the servants and guards were busy preparing all kinds of supplies needed for the journey.

Even Prince Xuan, who rarely went out on weekdays, began to frequently go to various occasions, and even personally submitted a memorial to the emperor, asking for permission to be granted a few days' extension before leaving for his fiefdom because the princess had just given birth to a son and was weak and needed rest.

From the looks of it, it seemed as if they would set off immediately once the full moon period was over.

Faced with such a request, even though he was dissatisfied, the emperor had no choice but to maintain a kind look and nodded in agreement.

Otherwise, it would appear too cold-blooded and cruel, which would go against the image of tolerance and kindness that it has always strived to maintain.

Despite this, due to the continuous exclusion and suppression in recent times, the original intelligence network in the capital has almost completely lost its function, but fortunately, in the past few months, almost all the troops guarding the royal mausoleum have joined his own camp.

As long as I have this reliable force to rely on...

A month passed in a flash, and just when they were about to take action, they found that it was difficult to mobilize the mausoleum troops without making any noise: it turned out that the large military camp located in the western suburbs had increased its vigilance on the surrounding areas.

This means we have to change our original plan...

Shortly after breakfast that morning, Prince Xuan, who was pacing anxiously in his study, summoned Shen Luoxi and issued a death order with a stern face: "Listen! Bring Madam Kang to me before sunset. If you can't, then your body will accompany me to that damned place in her place!"

The voice contained an extremely cold and chilling tone that made people feel creepy.

After understanding the other party's bad character and the principle of keeping his word, Shen Luoxi could only grit his teeth and accept this difficult task.

She changed into the coarse cloth clothes she had prepared in advance, smeared her face with dirty mud, and disguised herself as an ordinary woman. She sneaked into the mansion and made contact with the target. After explaining herself, she lied that she was taking the target out for a walk and also dressed the target accordingly...

Under the cover of night, the two men successfully bypassed the relatively weak defense links behind the Anguogong residence and left quietly.

Since both of them were wearing inconspicuous clothes, they did not attract anyone's special attention and were evacuated safely.

When Mrs. Kang walked into the room carelessly and saw Prince Xuan who had been waiting for a long time and staring at her fiercely, she couldn't help but tremble all over and showed an extremely terrified look.

Sensing his prey had been hooked, Prince Xuan let out a smug sneer and immediately sent a stern letter to Duke Anguo, "I give you two choices. Either pretend nothing happened and continue to live your life in peace. Otherwise, you will end up taking care of your wife's funeral."

Every word exuded a strong threat, making the recipient feel as cold as if he had fallen into an icy cave...

After receiving the news, the general's strong body seemed to collapse.

My wife is in such a desperate situation now just because of an unintentional action she took many years ago. Is this all due to fate?

He squeezed his eyes shut, trying to calm the pain in his heart.

The gentle smile of his wife and the happy scenes of the past emerged in his mind, but all of this now seemed like a shattered dream and was hard to accept.

Not long after the pain, he picked up his pen and wrote a long letter, revealing extremely complex emotions between the lines.

He then handed the letter to the most reliable courier, and repeatedly instructed him to deliver it to its destination quickly and secretly.

After receiving the order, the messenger galloped away on his horse, passing through the streets and alleys. Instead of going to Prince Xuan's Mansion, he went straight to the depths of the imperial palace.

The moment he saw the letter, the emperor slowly exhaled.

He put down the red calligraphy in his hand and looked calmly at the capital city outside the window which was about to be shrouded in dusk.

Everything was going as expected. The big net he had laid out for a long time and carefully designed had been spread out, waiting for King Xuan to fall into the trap and surrender.

Considering Shen Muxue's safety, the emperor ordered her to temporarily live with the queen mother in a heavily guarded area in the palace.

There were loyal soldiers guarding the place in shifts, and it was densely covered with various mechanisms and traps, so it was almost watertight. This made the emperor feel a little relieved.

At this time, various military forces were being intensively deployed in the imperial study, in the hope of creating opportunities to force the rebels hiding in the dark to reveal their true faces, and then to quickly and decisively eradicate them.

After all, if we take action against these enemies in advance, they may resist to the end, or even refuse to admit to any involvement in the rebellion, which will bring a lot of trouble to the investigation and evidence collection.

During this period, the entire palace and even the entire city were shrouded in an extremely thick and oppressive atmosphere, as if the air was filled with the smell of impending conflict.

Both ordinary civilians and court officials were curious about and afraid of the impending changes, and they held their breath, waiting for the shock that would be brought about by that unknown turning point.

However, nothing unusual happened until dusk, which made the emperor, who had been sitting in the study and paying attention to the development of the situation, feel a little uneasy.

Even so, he knew that patience was key.
