Reborn, meet you again!

Just when Su Jinyue was hesitating, a report suddenly came from outside the hall.

It was said that the Minister of Works Xu Mu requested to see the Empress Dowager because he had urgent matters to discuss.

Upon hearing this, Su Jinyue said something absentmindedly.

"Xuan."

Minister Xu was soon brought in by the eunuch.

He first glanced at King Huai, then lowered his head and kowtowed to Su Jinyue behind the pearl curtain.

The voice was a bit hurried.

"Your Highness Xu Mu greets the Queen Mother!"

"I have just received a secret memorial sent over eight hundred miles from Jiangnan. It is of great importance. Please take a look, Your Majesty!"

Su Jinyue was already troubled by King Huai's proposal, and when he heard Xu Mu say this, he couldn't help but rub his brows and asked someone to present the memorial in his hand with a bit of fatigue.

But after reading clearly what was written on the memorial, Su Jinyue suddenly stood up.

This was because the secret memorial recorded in detail that when the Regent Princess's brother Jiang Wanzhou and the Minister of Works Shen Yu were controlling the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, they suddenly dug out an ancient stele from under the riverbed, and the inscription on the stele was clearly written.

"Tianqi is in turmoil, and the disaster is caused by the young ruler. The true dragon is in the north, and it is time to establish a great unity."

Su Jinyue's hand holding the memorial couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Where is this monument now?"

Xu Mu responded immediately.

"Your Majesty, I do not know..."

"It is said that Jiang Wanzhou secretly dealt with him. As for how he was dealt with, no one knows."

"only……"

Xu Mu said this with some caution.

"But for some unknown reason, the contents of this stone tablet spread throughout Jiangnan in a very short time. Now, the people of Jiangnan are saying... Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, disasters have continued. First there were earthquakes, then floods, causing the people to suffer..."

"I'm afraid... Your Majesty's virtue is unworthy of your position, which has caused the wrath of Heaven, and a damning heaven... divine punishment... Now this rumor has even spread beyond the Southland, and it seems to be intensifying!"

"Nonsense!" Su Jinyue was suddenly furious.

"This is a natural disaster, what does it have to do with Ye'er!"

Upon seeing this, Xu Mu hurriedly knelt down tremblingly and banged his head on the ground.

"I know I shouldn't say these things, but I think someone is clearly behind this!"

"Even if it means losing my official hat, I will report this matter to the Queen Mother and Your Majesty!"

When Su Jinyue heard this, emotions surged in her eyes.

The True Dragon is in the North...

The true dragon is in the north.

It is obvious who the person in this sentence is referring to.

How could it be such a coincidence?

Rumors are spreading in the south and there is war in the northern desert.

Jun Jiuchen...did he really want to pull Ye'er down from the throne...

At this time, King Huai saw that the time was ripe, and he knelt beside Xu Mu at the right time, speaking with some earnestness.

"Empress Dowager... The Prince Regent has submitted a memorial, stating that he wants to return to Mobei and personally lead the troops to fight against Mobei."

"If we allow him to leave the capital with the Tiger Tally... when he rebels one day, it will be too late to regret. Even if we try our best, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop him!"

"Please, Queen Mother, make a decision as soon as possible for His Majesty!"

Su Jinyue closed her eyes upon hearing this and fell down on the phoenix chair somewhat powerlessly.

After a moment, he waved his hand to let Xu Mu retreat and turned to look at King Huai.

"But... Ye'er is still young. If we really poison him, even if there is an antidote, what will happen if he gets hurt?"

"Can we just have him pretend to be poisoned?"

King Huai immediately said after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, this is unacceptable. Have you forgotten that Princess Regent Jiang is an expert doctor? If Your Majesty is not truly poisoned and she reveals it on the spot, not only will our plan fail, but it will also give Jun Jiuchen ample reason to rebel in front of all the court officials!"

"I know that the Queen Mother loves Your Majesty, but this is for the sake of Your Majesty's future legacy. Please bear with me for now!"

"Furthermore, this poison comes from Southern Xinjiang. I am confident that it will not harm Your Majesty's dragon body."

"If the Queen Mother doesn't believe me, I will test the medicine on myself immediately!"

As King Huai spoke, he suddenly took out a red pill from his sleeve and swallowed it in front of Su Jinyue.

……

An hour later, King Huai walked out of the palace gate.

An imperial decree was then issued from the palace.

The Empress Dowager will hold a banquet on the night of the Lantern Festival. Officials of the fifth rank and above in the court will attend with their families to celebrate the Lantern Festival with Your Majesty.

When he returned to Prince Huai's mansion, Prince Huai looked exceptionally radiant.

He looked at the time and asked the housekeeper of Prince Huai's mansion.

"Is the prince in the mansion?"

The butler responded immediately.

"No, Your Majesty."

King Huai frowned slightly when he heard this.

"He would have been off duty by this time in the past. Why hasn't he been seen these past few days? Did he leave any message about where he's been?"

The butler thought about it for a moment and continued to shake his head.

"No, but the prince has indeed come back very late these past two days."

Upon hearing this, King Huai took a sip of tea and gave the order.

"Tell the doorman to come see me first when the prince returns."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After King Huai finished giving his instructions, he went straight to the study. There were less than ten days left until the Lantern Festival, and he had to make all the arrangements clearly.

Jun Jiuchen may find out the truth at any time and let Wei Zhi come forward to bite him.

This is the last chance for Prince Huai's Mansion.

He can only win, not lose!

When Yun Zheng returned to Prince Huai's Mansion, it was already dark.

The heavy snow on New Year's Eve lasted for several days and only stopped on the fifth day of the New Year. Now is the time when the snow is melting, and the air is particularly cold.

So when he walked in, he was covered in cold air, and his face was cold because he was worried. The servants at the doorman's office couldn't help but lower their voices when they answered.

When Yun Zheng heard that his father wanted to see him, he put on a worried look and went to King Huai's study.

When King Huai saw him come in, he looked up at him and put down the pen in his hand.

"The Imperial Guards haven't had any important business these days, so you've been leaving early and returning late every day...what are you doing?"

Yun Zheng just responded calmly.

"It's just that I have too many social engagements at a young age."

"Also, I heard that a doctor with excellent medical skills appeared in Shangjing and might be able to cure heart disease, so I went looking for him everywhere."

"What did my father call me for?"

When King Huai heard that he was doing it for Song Wan again, although he was unhappy, he immediately believed it.

"Song Yi had already sent her out of the capital on the pretext that it was too cold to protect the pregnancy, but she never informed you of this."

"Her whereabouts are unknown now. It's still unknown whether her heart is in the Prime Minister's Residence or Prince Huai's Residence. You still miss her..."

Yun Zheng did not refute this, but just said.

"Father, they are my wife and children after all."

King Huai didn't want to say more after hearing this.

"Su Jinyue has already agreed to our plan. Now that we are facing a major event, you'd better put your mind at ease."

"When the matter is settled, you can do whatever you want. Father will not ask any more questions."

Yun Zheng just responded after hearing this.

"I understand, Father."

Upon seeing this, King Huai turned the conversation back to business.

"On Lantern Festival, I will have He Qi, the commander of the Imperial Guards, transfer the 30% of the Imperial Guards from Mobei, as there are many people on Lantern Festival and they need to be carefully inspected, out of the inner palace and assign them to guard the three side gates."

"Xing Tianming will also mobilize the surrounding garrisons that day to take control of the families of officials of the third rank and above in the imperial court, especially the Mobei generals headed by Huo Du."

"You will lead the Imperial Guards to the city gate, let our troops into the city, and control Jun Jiuchen's Black Armored Guards!"

"In this way, once Jun Jiuchen is convicted of poisoning the young emperor, Shangjing will be completely under our control."
