Chapter 305: Prince Anmu enters the palace, the emperor’s life is in danger!

Outside the palace.

The sun shone on many students. They passed the imperial examination and came to continue the palace examination. They knelt on the ground, feeling expectant and nervous. Jiang Jing saw many familiar faces.

For example, Xiong Che.

After a long while, Eunuch Shang walked out of the palace and said, "The Emperor is ill, the palace examination has been postponed!"

The students didn't dare to speak.

Jiang Jing frowned. Logically speaking, if the event was to be postponed, it should have been announced to the world in advance. He plucked up his courage, looked up, and met Eunuch Shang's gaze, which seemed to be... asking for help?

Bang!

There was a loud noise in the hall.

Eunuch Shang's back stiffened, and he waved his hands impatiently, "Hurry up and take them out of the palace! You're disturbing the Emperor's peace, or you'll be in trouble!"

The guards hurriedly took the students away.

Jiang Jing pretended to lag behind, listening to the voices in the palace, frowning slightly. Why did the emperor's voice sound so sharp? The guards urged him to leave, and Jiang Jing said, "Brother, I want to ask if Brother Chen Hao is not on duty today?"

"No." The guard looked straight ahead.

After leaving the palace, Xiong Che asked, "Did something happen?"

"Yeah." Jiang Jing's face was solemn. He gestured to avoid the crowd. The two of them got on the carriage together and drove away from the palace. "Something must have happened in the palace."

Xiong Che asked: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Jing chuckled: "I don't know at the moment. I'll take you home."

Xiong Che grabbed his sleeve and said reluctantly: "We are not brothers, but our women are sisters. This is a meritorious thing, so let me go home?"

Jiang Jing said: "It's also easy to lose your head."

"That's fate." Xiong Che said, "Let's go together."

He also wanted to achieve fame and fortune as soon as possible and provide a better future for Xiuying. When he first arrived in Shengjing, Yingying wanted to open a shop to make money, but he didn't dare to do so. First, Yingying was pregnant, and second, he was afraid of encountering difficult customers when opening a shop.

He can't solve it.

It's not a good thing to bother Jiusu every time.

There are always places that Jiusu cannot take care of.

Jiang Jing said, "Come to the Jiang Mansion after dark tonight."

Xiong Che nodded in agreement.

The yard they bought was small, but the location was good.

He bought two strings of candied haws.

"Yingying, I'm back."

Xiuying was sewing her child's clothes when she heard the sound. She put down her needlework and looked over, surprised: "So fast? Did she pass the palace examination?"

Xiong Che said aggrievedly: "Yingying, you are bullying me."

"I didn't." Xiuying leaned back in her chair, eating the candied haws he had bought. "Don't cry like that. Tell me what happened."

Xiong Che poured her hot water and massaged her shoulders and legs.

"The palace examination has been postponed."

"Postponed?" Xiuying sighed. "It's so sudden! I feel like you're worried about something. Did something happen?"

Xiong Che scratched his head and looked away: "Nothing, it's just that the people I went with wanted to get together, and I was hesitating whether to go. Master Jiang is also here."

Xiuying said, "Master Jiang is here too. Go ahead and learn how to be an official from him. Don't worry, I'll be at home. Nothing will happen. There are plenty of servants in the courtyard."

My home is very close to the clinic and Li Mansion.

As night fell, Xiong Che looked back reluctantly and said, "Wait for me to come back."

Outside the palace.

Four people squatted at the foot of the wall. Song Wang frowned and asked in confusion, "Where did the ladder come from?"

Jiusu coughed lightly and said, "I asked someone to put it here in advance. Let's go to the palace first."

Sit on the wall and move the long ladder over.

The palace patrol guards were replaced every incense stick, and they took advantage of this gap to sneak in quickly.

Jiusu said, "We will split into two groups and reunite behind the rockery in the Imperial Garden in an hour. Remember, even if something happens to the Emperor, we must not alert him."

Yongyan Hall is empty.

Jiang Jing stepped forward and knocked out two guards, dragged them aside, and slashed their sleeves. He lowered his voice and said, "It's a butterfly pattern. The emperor is in trouble."

The two men were tied up, their socks taken off and stuffed in their mouths.

Soon, I woke up because of the stench.

At the same time, Jiusu and Jiang Jing had already sneaked into the bedroom. They heard a loud snoring sound from inside. Hiding behind a pillar, they looked towards the bed and saw that the man there was fatter than the emperor.

"Love needle." Jiusu handed the blowpipe to the man, "Just one."

Jiang Jing aimed at the strange eunuch guarding the door and blew the love needle over to him. When he hit the ground with a sound, he quickly slid over and caught the man. As for the man on the bed, he held the sword tightly in his hand.

It is connected to the window next to it.

If he was alarmed, the man would pull the rope.

"Go in first."

The inner door was only half-closed. Jiang Jing was watching the movements of the people on the bed from outside. Jiusu pushed the door open and saw three people tied up. They were the emperor and empress who had been claiming to be sick for a long time.

When Eunuch Shang woke up and saw the person coming, he was extremely surprised.

Jiusu made a gesture to keep quiet, and the slight noise woke up the emperor and empress.

Emperor Xu shed two lines of tears in excitement: "I have loved you for so long..."

Jiusu took the initiative to say, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, let's get to the point. What on earth has happened these past few days?"

Emperor Xu angrily said, "That night, this villain broke into the palace, took me and the Queen hostage, and threatened me to order Song Wang not to investigate the case from that year. After that, he imprisoned me here and forced me to drink some kind of soup. When I get out, I will kill that bastard!"

Empress Xu said, "Miss Jiu, please show the emperor the truth. He just vomited blood."

There was a pool of black blood on the ground.

"You've been poisoned." She felt his pulse and said, "I have an antidote here. Please take it first."

Emperor Xu moved his body and said, "My dear Lord Jiu, please rescue me quickly. When I get out, I will definitely reward you greatly."

Jiusu shook his head: "You two can't go out for the time being. I guess the people from the Butterfly Sect have come to the palace. Your body is not suitable for large-scale activities. You have to stay here for a few days."

Emperor Xu was so angry that he wanted to cry: "I don't want to be here anymore."

"At the earliest tomorrow night, at the latest the day after tomorrow, I will definitely rescue you." Jiusu said firmly.

Several people gathered at the rockery in the back garden.

Jiusu said: "The emperor and the queen have been kidnapped. Prince Anmu is in the palace right now."

Song Wang said: "We went to the imperial study and turned everything inside upside down. The imperial seal on the table was also missing. He might have taken it."

Jiang Jing said: "The palace is not safe, let's leave first."

Xiong Che was worried that something might happen to Xiuying, so Jiusu asked Zitan to take care of her first.

The gates of the Jiang Mansion were locked. Jiang Jinyou frowned upon hearing the news. He asked, "Prince Anmu is still alive? Did he poison the Emperor in an attempt to usurp the throne?"

The usurpation of the throne is an established fact.

"I just didn't expect him to be so bold and still sound asleep in the emperor's bedroom."

The emperor's character is becoming increasingly lazy, but at least he is not a tyrant. If King Anmu is the instigator of this crime, he is an unforgivable villain.

He must not be allowed to succeed.

Jiusu said: "We need to gather all our forces and set up an ambush in advance. It would be best if we could find a time when the emperor can go out."

Suddenly, Jiang Jing walked to the calendar.

He placed his hand on one spot. "The Spring Equinox is a day of worship, the Autumn Equinox is a moon worship, and the day after tomorrow, the Emperor will need to go to the Sun Altar to offer sacrifices. Everything is ready. Even though Prince Anmu asked the Emperor to feign illness, he cannot resist the 'Spring Equinox is a national ceremony.' As a former prince, he should know the etiquette and laws. On this day, the Emperor must come forward."
