The chief of the guards, Guo Li, carried the imperial edict and went to the residence of the Minister of War, Zhao Yue, overnight.

When Guo Li met Lord Zhao, he said sadly, "Lord Zhao, His Majesty passed away half an hour ago. His Majesty asked me to secretly bring the imperial edict to you. His Majesty has not had the opportunity to spread the news these days. He knew that the end was approaching, so he asked me to take advantage of the laxity of the palace guards to give you the imperial edict. I hope you can gather the ministers in the court and announce the edict to the public."

"The Lin family has the intention of treason and many people have been kept in the dark. We must not let them succeed."

Zhao Yue had no expression on his face as he took the imperial edict and opened it.

The content of the edict was roughly about deposing the queen, making Concubine Hui the queen, and making the fourth prince the crown prince. Because the crown prince was young, he was allowed to rule the country from behind the curtain.

"And this is the tiger talisman that can mobilize the troops. Lord Zhao, let's send someone outside the city to ask the fake general to lead the army into the city."

Zhao Yue looked at the imperial edict for a long time without saying anything, and Guo Li's originally anxious heart also sank.

The next second, Zhao Yue tore up the imperial edict and said, "Concubine Hui is of humble origin and cannot be the mother of a country."

Guo Li felt a chill in his heart. He had never expected that Zhao Yue had also joined the Lin family. He said in grief and indignation, "Lord Zhao was brought up by His Majesty, but I never expected that he would do such a treacherous thing."

“.......”

Zhao Yue: I don't want to do this either, but that rascal Lin Yuanrong is pointing a finger at his back. If he dares to act rashly, he probably won't see the sun tomorrow.

As soon as Guo Li finished speaking, he felt a chill on his back. The chill reached his brain before the pain. Despair appeared in his eyes and he slowly collapsed to the ground.

The succession of power was full of blood and gore. Originally, with Zhang Gelao and Liu Zhao in charge of the important affairs of the court, they would never let the Lin family do such a reckless thing. However, His Majesty was too anxious and eliminated the two ministers and their followers completely. Before he had the chance to take action against the Lin family, there were very few people in the court who could compete with the Lin family, which led to their failure in the end.

Moreover, your Majesty is in very poor health. He is seriously ill in his prime. It is very likely that the Lin family has given him some kind of drug.

Ding Dong! The tiger talisman fell to the ground, but Zhao Yue did not pick it up. Then he came in from the back door and thought the man had picked up the tiger talisman.

The man said meaningfully: "Lord Zhao is truly a man of insight."

Zhao Yue: “…”

In the first half of her life, she was favored by the emperor and rose to prominence, but she fell down right after she reached prominence, and there is a high probability that she will never rise again. Her life is full of ups and downs...

.......

In the same year, the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom passed away without an imperial edict. After discussion, the court ministers decided to support the Queen's son, the Sixth Prince Zhou An, as the Crown Prince. As the Crown Prince was young, the Queen ruled the country from behind the curtain and handled the state affairs on his behalf.

The fate of the cannon fodder female supporting role was finally changed, and Tu Yufan was promoted to chief eunuch.

"No, why is he still a eunuch?"

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "An'er can't live without you. Only as a eunuch can I stay by An'er's side all the time."

"Is it you, Your Highness, who wants me to stay, or is it you who wants me to stay?"

Seeing that Lin Xuan's ears were dyed red again, the originally smiling eyes were now filled with shame and anger.

"A lot of memorials have been piled up recently. Since you have nothing to do, you can stay in my study today to help me review the memorials and separate the unimportant ones."

"......"

Tu Yufan looked at the pile of memorials, then at the dark sky. He would have to work until the early hours of the morning.
