Thinking of this, he suddenly had the idea of ​​visiting the beautiful woman who stayed in the deep palace, so he got up and went to visit her to relieve his worry.

On the other hand, King Xuan, who was in trouble, became increasingly anxious after failing to receive his allies' help for a long time. Without external military support, he had no power to fight back.

As time went by, the situation showed no signs of improvement after noon, so he couldn't help but start to wonder if perhaps the Duke of Anguo had decided to abandon their old friendship and instead stand firmly on the side of maintaining the stability of the throne.

Since it's a dead end anyway, why not give it a try?

This thought lingered in his mind for a long time.

He took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, and changed into the eunuch uniform he had prepared in advance.

Under the guidance of a spy who had been arranged long ago, he sneaked into Anle Palace carefully and quietly.

After searching around the palace for a long time, he still couldn't find an opportunity to get close to the target.

As the sunlight gradually set in the west, the guards in the palace began to look exhausted and their spirits were no longer as focused as before, which made him even more anxious.

Finally, he lit a torch in a relatively unguarded area and quickly threw it into a small hut where miscellaneous items were stored.

Soon, the blazing flames immediately attracted a large number of guards to come and check the situation.

Taking advantage of this chaotic opportunity, he successfully stepped into the interior of Anle Palace.

At this moment, Shen Muxue was accompanying the Queen Mother for a stroll in the courtyard.

Just as this peaceful scene was broken, she noticed a tall "eunuch" suddenly rushed into her sight.

In an instant, her heart trembled violently, and she immediately realized the other party's true identity.

That was King Xuan who was attempting a rebellion!

Without time to think, in an extremely nervous mood, Shen Muxue quickly took out a special pill from her sleeve that could temporarily enhance her body functions and swallowed it, hoping to rely on the temporarily gained strength to escort the empress dowager away from here to safety.

However, before they could take any action, Prince Xuan frantically stabbed two innocent eunuchs who were blocking his way, and then ran straight towards their location.

The servants and maids around screamed and fled in all directions when they saw this. No one dared to stand up and stop them.

In this extremely critical situation, Taihou took a decisive step forward and stood at the front, shouting with all her might, "Xue'er, take mother and escape! I'll take care of everything."

In order to gain more chances of escape, Shen Muxue grabbed a nearby wooden chair and threw it at the enemy as a weapon, while shouting loudly for the old woman next to her to follow her and escape.

Although this action slightly surprised the approaching King Xuan, he immediately steadied his pace and continued to chase, his face full of anger and cruelty.

At this time, several sharp-eyed soldiers among the guards who were trying their best to put out the source of the disturbance outside had noticed something unusual and speculated that they might have encountered some kind of strategy to lure the enemy away from the mountain.

So everyone exchanged glances and decided to rush back to the main palace to provide reinforcements.

Soon, King Xuan, holding a long sword with a cold glow, came in front of the two of them.

Although more and more support personnel who heard the news were gathering here, due to concerns about the direct threat that the sharp blades in the hands of the enemy might pose to the two important figures, everyone could only stop and watch for the time being, and did not dare to step forward to fight.

Throughout the development of the incident, the Queen Mother showed great decisiveness and courage. She stood at the front line without hesitation and protected the important people behind her with her firm determination, even at the cost of her life.

Under such circumstances, Prince Xuan had almost complete control of the situation. Whether it was the Queen Mother's safety or Shen Muxue's life or death, they were now firmly in his hands. This made everyone present feel an unprecedented sense of depression, as if a heavy stone was pressing on everyone's heart.

After a long time, the Queen Mother finally broke the silence.

Her voice was calm but powerful: "Xiaoxuan, put down your sword now."

She tried to persuade him in the gentlest yet unquestionable tone, "As long as you can do this, then everything that happened before can be forgiven and forgotten. I can also guarantee that you can live a peaceful and stable life in the future."

These words not only express the understanding and acceptance of the current situation, but are also full of the care that elders have for their younger generations.

At the same time, the Queen Mother quietly made a gesture with one arm behind her, hoping that others would take this opportunity to leave the scene safely and prevent more innocent lives from being put in danger.

However, King Xuan at this time was no longer the rational man who knew how to advance and retreat.

He had completely lost the ability to think calmly. He had no intention of letting go of this excellent opportunity in front of him. He had only one thought in his mind: since he couldn't survive alone, we might as well perish together!

As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, Prince Xuan immediately drew his sword and stabbed her.

The silver sword light was particularly dazzling in the dim room, and it pointed directly at the empress dowager's vital points with a sharp force.

At this moment, Shen Muxue reacted quickly and picked up a heavy flowerpot from the table beside her and threw it hard in the direction of King Xuan. The flowerpot hit his right arm.

With a dull collision sound, Prince Xuan's arm suddenly lost its strength, and the long sword in his hand lost its original stable trajectory, deviating from its direction in the air, and finally only scratched the Queen Mother's leg. The blood instantly soaked the Queen Mother's expensive and gorgeous palace dress.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Muxue kicked out without hesitation, hitting King Xuan directly in the abdomen. The powerful force forced him to take several steps back until he hit an ancient wooden desk not far behind him.

At the same time, the guards finally arrived and quickly surrounded King Xuan, who was in a mess and had lost the ability to fight back.

Just when Shen Muxue was exhausted and almost fainted on the ground, she vaguely caught a glimpse of a figure in bright yellow clothes rushing towards this chaotic place.

The man walked quickly and forcefully, and seemed to be very familiar with the environment here.

As soon as the emperor entered the room, he was stunned by the scene before him.

He saw his beloved struggling to stay upright, trying not to fall, while on the other side stood Prince Xuan, already surrounded. Even more heartbreaking was the sight of the usually kind and amiable Empress Dowager, also injured, her bloodstained calf arousing pity.

"Grandmother! How are you?"

While anxiously inquiring about the empress dowager's injuries, he cautiously approached Shen Muxue, ready to support her.

It didn't take long before several accompanying imperial doctors arrived quickly and started treating the patient.
