"Yun girl, what do we do now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Xu's eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Lin Shuyun shook her hand, caught the person, and threw him into the space. She also threw Jiang Changtian in and covered his face.

"Meow~" Coal Ball meowed.

Lin Shuyun threw the coal briquettes in as well.

The remaining stray cats had all scattered.

No sooner had they finished doing this than the Zhang family members caught up and surrounded them.

Hand over the items, and I might leave you with a whole corpse!

Lin Shuyun didn't say a word, and the vines in her hands moved without any wind.

In almost a few breaths, almost everyone present was dead.

Those who were still alive were filled with terror. "You are a demon!"

Lin Shuyun chuckled softly without saying a word, "Oh no, you found out. Did you think I'd let you go back alive to report this?"

Half an incense stick later, the alley was filled with dead bodies.

Lin Shuyun stepped through the blood-soaked ground and entered the space.

……

……

"We are looking for Prince Rui."

Just as dawn broke, Lin Shuyun, Jiang Changtian, and Old Man Xu appeared at the entrance of the Prince's Mansion.

The guards at the gate had stern faces. "Where did this woman come from? Do you think you can just see the prince whenever you want? Get out! If you dare to take another step closer to the gate of the Prince's mansion, don't blame the swords for being merciless."

Lin Shuyun's face darkened. "Have Wang Li, who serves Prince Rui, come out and identify the people, otherwise your heads will be on the verge of being moved."

The Prince's mansion was not a place one could enter casually, but there was no time to worry about that now.

Seeing Lin Shuyun's intimidating aura, the guard hesitated for a moment before going in to report.

When Wang Li came out, he was overjoyed to see Old Man Xu.

"We've finally found you, old man!"

News came from the palace that the Emperor Emeritus had gone missing, and the prince sent people to look for him, but unexpectedly, he returned.

Jiang Changtian hurriedly asked, "Where is Prince Rui?"

He has returned to his original appearance, and the wound on his back has healed.

"Something's happened in the palace. The Prince has entered the palace. What's wrong with him?" Wang Li looked at the old man Xu with his head drooping and had a bad feeling.

And this person in front of me looks kind of familiar.

"Do you have any way to get us into the palace? I need to see the Emperor." At this critical moment, Jiang Changtian couldn't care less about anything else.

“This… the Emperor Emeritus should have proof of his entry into the palace.” Wang Li looked at Old Man Xu.

Wang Li dared not neglect those who were with the retired emperor.

Old Xu suddenly remembered something, "What proof do we need? This face is the best proof. Hurry up and get the carriage. Let's go now."

As the group sat in the carriage, about to leave the Prince's residence, they were stopped.

"Wang Li, where are you going in the middle of the night? Who's in the carriage?"

Princess Qingyue, dressed in a blue robe, stood at the entrance of the Prince's mansion.

She received news that Wang Li had brought strangers into the palace, and was now leaving in her father's carriage.

“Princess, I have official business to attend to. Please make way.” Wang Li said in a serious tone.

“My father has already entered the palace. Do you think you’re in charge of this palace and can collude with outsiders as you please?” Princess Qingyue received the news and came to the gate to stop people, just to see who they were.

Today, Shengjing doesn't seem as peaceful as it appears on the surface; her father isn't telling her anything.

"Make the people in the carriage get out, or you won't be going out either." Princess Qingyue looked at Wang Li, wondering if he was planning to betray her father while he was away.

"Princess, I have an urgent matter to attend to, please step aside!"

Wang Li was getting annoyed. The prince had really spoiled the princess. Didn't he realize what time it was? He really wanted to crack open the princess's head and see if it was filled with straw!

Jiang Changtian lifted the carriage curtain. "Princess Qingyue, could you please do me this favor?"

He had never met Princess Qingyue, but he knew all about the powerful families in Shengjing and who they were.

Looking at that face, Princess Qingyue's heart pounded, and she exclaimed in surprise.

"Young General?!"

Jiang Changtian did not respond.

"I'll go with you!" Princess Qingyue said, suppressing her overwhelming joy.

The person she had been longing for day and night has really come back!

Wang Li hurriedly stopped her, "Princess, this is inappropriate!"

Jiang Changtian frowned and said, "This is a matter of expediency. Please make way, Princess. I will thank you properly when I return."

Princess Qingyue made way for the carriage, and didn't forget to call out to the carriage, "You, I knew you were in Shengjing. I went to the Guan family to find you, young general. You must be safe and sound."

The carriage exited the gates of Prince Rui's Mansion.

Old Xu clicked his tongue twice and said to Jiang Changtian, "Yun girl, she's already calling you 'man,' why aren't you reacting at all?"

"Don't make a sound, I'm too tired, let me sleep for a while." Lin Shuyun had used up too much of her supernatural power to save Jiang Changtian, and she was feeling quite exhausted.

Fell into a deep sleep.

Jiang Changtian held the person in his arms, his heart tightening.

Yun Yun.

……

……

"how's it going?"

In the Hidden Dragon Palace, Lady Qin asked the imperial physician.

The imperial physician knelt down, "Your Majesty, His Majesty is... is..."

"I can't take it anymore, am I really going to die?"

Lady Qin felt this was a bit too much. After all, he was the emperor, and he was going to be poisoned to death so inexplicably?

This is a bit too hasty.

If she really dies, it wouldn't be bad if her son became emperor.

"It's terrible! The Second Prince has launched a coup and has already stormed Zhengyang Gate!"

Eunuch Li rushed in, his face pale with panic.

No one expected that the second prince would attempt to usurp the throne at this critical juncture.

"You've moved quite quickly. Xuan Yuan Hongye, did you hear that? Your son has rebelled."

After Qin Niangzi finished speaking, the person on the dragon bed stirred, and black blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"Is there any way to wake him up first?" Madam Qin asked the old imperial physician.

The old imperial physician spoke tremblingly, "Your Majesty, the poison His Majesty has been given is too potent. This old minister is truly at a loss. If the legendary divine physician were here, there might still be a glimmer of hope for his life."

The old imperial physician was also puzzled. There were signs of improvement before, so how could the poisoning have suddenly become so severe?

Qin Niangzi frowned.

Just as she was thinking, a commotion came from outside the door.

"Your Highness, without the Emperor's decree, you may not enter!"

"You dog servant, you think you can stop Consort De? Have you forgotten the kindness she showed you?"

It's chaotic outside.

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Li was about to leave when the people outside came in.

"Consort Qin, or perhaps I should call you Your Majesty the Empress, Your Majesty, how have you been?" Consort De was followed by the entire palace's eunuchs and maids, their manner menacing.

"Did you poison her?" Qin Niangzi looked at the woman.

She suspected the Second Prince, but not in this particular direction; she hadn't expected Consort De to be so ruthless.

Consort De, abandoning her usual aloof and serene demeanor, suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahahaha, why should I tell you? You're all going to die today anyway."

Her son has already stormed through Zhengyang Gate and will soon break in; then she will be the Empress Dowager.

Above all others.
