You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

General's Mansion.

Mu Yunge and others had breakfast, rested for a while, and then started training again.

At everyone's request, Ling Yun and Ling Zhi explained and demonstrated the moves they used when fighting against Ming Xiao.

"The essence of my move lies in speed. When the opponent thinks I'm attacking his left side, I'm already attacking his right side..."

Annan watched carefully and said, "Master, your move is good, but we can't master it in a short time."

“No Kung Fu can be mastered overnight. It all depends on one’s own efforts. With diligent study and practice, everything will come naturally.

Besides, I don’t force you to learn this trick.

The reason I agreed to show you is to tell you that everyone has their own strengths. If you utilize them, find the right methods, and practice diligently, you will definitely gain something."

Zhao Jingchen and Mu Yunge applauded on the side.

Zhao Jingchen encouraged everyone, saying, "Lingyun said it very well. You all have your own strengths, and you have improved a lot through practice these days. Keep working hard, and you will definitely see satisfactory improvement!"

"Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty!"

"Well, let's practice."

"Yes!"

Ling Feng and his colleagues gathered all the people they were responsible for, pointed out their strengths one by one, and instructed them on how to practice.

The girls had a clear direction and method. In addition to learning tactics from everyone, they put in all their efforts and trained according to the guidance of their masters.

Just when everyone was practicing enthusiastically, a secret guard from the palace hurried to find Zhao Jingchen.

"Your Majesty, something happened in the palace. During the morning court session, a minister filed a petition accusing the Second Prince of illegally opening a gold mine. The Emperor had the Second Prince imprisoned and demoted to a commoner.

The emperor fell into a coma due to anger in the court, and the imperial physician said that he would not last for a few more days.

Shortly afterwards, the Second Prince hanged himself in the Heavenly Prison out of fear of punishment."

Zhao Jingchen nodded to show that he understood, and the secret guard slipped away.

After watching the people walk away, Zhao Jingchen looked at Mu Yunge and said, "Let's go find your grandfather."

Songheyuan.

While drinking tea, the old man listened to the secret guard standing in front of him report everything that happened in the palace.

Seeing Mu Yunge and Zhao Jingchen approaching from afar, he signaled to the secret guard, who saluted the two and left.

The old man greeted cheerfully: "Hurry up and sit down!"

After the two of them sat down, Mu Yunge looked at the old man and said, "Grandfather, I believe you have received the news from the palace."

"Well, our people have limited capabilities, and the information we get may not be comprehensive. Please tell me quickly."

Mu Yunge recounted the incident in detail, "Things are going exactly as planned. Now the eldest prince is crippled, the second prince is dead, and the emperor won't live for many more days.

In the next few days, Zhao Hongyi will play the role of a filial son and stay by the emperor's side at all times.

One is to prevent the emperor from saying anything unfavorable to him, and the other is to do it for everyone to see and once again confirm his reputation for benevolence and filial piety.

The ministers in the court would jointly submit a petition, saying that the country could not be without a ruler for a day, and would implore him to ascend the throne as emperor.

Zhao Jingchen took over the conversation: "In order to gain a good reputation, he would even go to the prince's palace to show his goodwill, and then put on a grand ceremony to welcome the imperial aunt back to the capital.

Let's just watch the show. When he has almost finished his performance and is ready to ascend the throne, we will give him a heavy blow.

This kind of punishment, waiting for him to ascend to the clouds and then falling into hell, can relieve the hatred in our hearts, and only then can you completely let go of the past and live a good life."

The old man paused for a moment, "You must always pay attention to the development of the situation and ensure that things do not deviate or go astray."

"Don't worry, Grandfather!"

"Don't worry, General Mu!"

The two spoke almost at the same time.

Seeing this, the old man laughed heartily, "Haha... Well, heroes have always emerged from youth. You are excellent. It's up to you from now on. I'm old now, and it's time for me to enjoy my retirement."

evening.

After a day of training, Zhao Jingchen and his group returned to the palace.

Ling Ming came to report: "Your Highness, I was monitoring Jingyang Palace. After the Emperor left Jingyang Palace this morning, I saw the maidservant beside Concubine Lin secretly burying some food under a tree.

The subordinates felt that there was something wrong, so they brought all the food back. After checking, Mr. Xu said that drugs that cause blood clotting and make people excited were added to it.

My subordinates originally wanted to capture the nanny, after all, she was an important witness, but they were afraid of alerting the enemy.

Oh, right, the Dragon Shadow Guards who went to intercept the Princess have returned to the palace. Shadow One and Shadow Two seemed suspicious of the Emperor's condition and specifically pulled Eunuch Yao aside for questioning.

"Keep the food safe; it will be useful to us! As for that nun, leave her alone for now. Go and capture her tonight and throw her in the dungeon."

Shang Jue tapped his palm with his fan and added, "Go get someone skilled in martial arts and send a message to the Dragon Shadow Guards, warning them that there's something fishy about the Emperor's illness and to be on guard against anyone trying to kill him."

Zhao Jingchen nodded in agreement.

The Dragon Shadow Guards were born to protect the emperor. That person is not dead yet, and Zhao Hongyi is not the emperor yet, so the Dragon Shadow Guards will not obey him.

In this case, the Dragon Shadow Guard will do his best to protect that person, and Zhao Hongyi will have to work hard to successfully ascend to the position.

After a long moment, Zhao Jingchen looked at Ling Ming and asked, "Is there any movement in the Cining Palace?"

"I entered the palace with Ling Yu. He went to the Cining Palace. He should be back soon."

Sure enough, not long after, Ling Yu hurried back to report, "Your Majesty, I have made a discovery."

Shang Jue handed him a cup of tea on the table and said, "Tell me slowly."

Ling Yu began to describe in detail what happened during his one-day stay in the Cining Palace.

"Towards noon, a young eunuch brought news of the Emperor vomiting blood and passing out into the Cining Palace. The Empress Dowager was initially anxious to visit the Emperor.

Halfway through the journey, he turned back and ordered the young eunuch to find out the news.

The young eunuch went to the palace and found out everything that happened in the palace today. After hearing it, the empress dowager shook her head and said it was a sin.

She locked herself in the room, then took out a jade pendant and said, "You won't be lonely down there, your son will come down to accompany you."

He also said things like, "I am also going to accompany the late emperor and confess my sins to him," which his subordinates could not understand.

Zhao Jingchen frowned.

Shang Jue also held the fan tightly in his hand.

After a long time, Zhao Jingchen waved everyone away and left Shang Jue alone.

"Ajue, to be honest, over the years, I have always suspected that I am not my mother's biological son. She threatened me with her own life to give up the throne, which is a bit unreasonable.

But this prince looks 90% like my father, so this suspicion is untenable."

Shang Jue nodded, "The Queen Mother's two words were strange, as if they were talking about two people."

After he finished speaking, Shang Jue was shocked by his own words.

You two looked at each other, without saying a word for a long time.

After what seemed like a lifetime, Zhao Jingchen said to Shang Jue, "Ajue, you must investigate this matter secretly. This is a matter of great importance, and not a single word of it must leak out."

Shang Jue stood up, patted Zhao Jingchen on the shoulder, turned around and left the study...
