When Chu Yanyan woke up, he reached to the side and found that the person was gone again.
After he finished washing up, he walked to his desk and found that the several books he had written were missing.
Who took it? If not Feng Qingwu, who else could it be?
But his purpose was achieved, since he originally wrote it for Feng Qingwu.
The changes happened very quickly. Everything was calm one second and something unexpected happened the next.
On the night of the discussion in court, Su Ranyan had already written the imperial edict and was waiting for the third day.
The news that the emperor was seriously ill and lying in bed was spread privately. Everyone with a discerning eye knew that the emperor would not live happily, but no one knew when he would pass away.
That night, Su Ranyan, who had returned to her original form, had trouble falling asleep. Her people had already been deployed throughout the palace. Even if Feng Qingwu came, she had a worst-case scenario plan. Thinking of that plan, the coldness in her eyes deepened.
She stood on the steps, looking up at the night view of the palace city. The stars were twinkling. It was not snowing, and the snow on the ground had been cleared. It was a night worth watching.
Feeling a sense of importance on her shoulder, Su Ranyan grabbed the hand on her shoulder and turned to look at the person behind her.
Feng Yechen put down his hand, held the person in his arms, and said softly: "It's cold at night, take care of yourself."
Su Ranyan pulled her cloak tightly around her body, her eyelashes trembling, and she pursed her lips as she leaned her head against the man's chest: "Yechen, is everything done?"
"It's done." Feng Yechen answered her.
Before Su Ranyan could even wait for dawn, there was a commotion in the palace.
"Oh no, oh no, the Fourth Prince has started a rebellion." The panicked voice of the palace maid came.
Then there was the sound of horses trampling on the ground.
The flash of swords and the shadow of sabers.
The air was filled with the smell of blood.
Snowflakes began to fall slowly from the sky, but they could not hide the strong smell.
Su Ranyan already knew all about the Fourth Prince and his people. Haha, you want to fight, right? You don't even consider your own strengths and even want to join hands with other princes to seize the throne.
She was dressed in a dark, tight-fitting outfit, with a heavy cloak draped over her shoulders. Holding a long sword, she walked into the emperor's inner palace, looking exhausted. She looked at the imperial concubine who was caring for the old emperor and tossed her the bundle in her hand. "Hide in the secret room with the imperial edict and the imperial seal. You are not allowed to come out without my permission."
The imperial concubine hesitated for a moment after hearing this. She held the things in her arms and looked at Su Ranyan: "Can you ensure that I will be given the position of empress dowager?"
"Don't worry, as soon as King Chen ascends to the throne, he will definitely anoint you as the Queen Mother."
"Okay." The imperial concubine believed Su Ranyan's words. At this point, she had no way to retreat and could only trust her only ally.
After the imperial concubine hid in the secret room, Su Ranyan walked out, looked at the people who had arrived here, and then looked at the person in the lead.
"Third sister-in-law, why are you here?" The Fourth Prince and others were stunned for a moment when they saw Su Ranyan.
Su Ranyan said, "I came to the palace to visit on the orders of my father. I didn't expect to encounter something like this. Fourth brother, why don't you stop? Is it necessary to resort to war?"
Hearing this, the Fourth Prince smiled and said, "Everyone knows that the Emperor favors the Third Brother." His expression turned cold and indifferent. "Do you think I'll stop? I'm determined to take the throne."
"Then don't blame me for being rude." Su Ranyan said, jumping up and attacking the Fourth Prince's horse.
The Fourth Prince jumped down and fought with Su Ranyan with a spear.
The men also fought in a group.
The swords collided, making a muffled sound.
"Why is my third brother nowhere to be seen?" The Fourth Prince murmured, and suddenly realized that something was wrong. His face turned panicked and he wanted to grab Su Ranyan.
White poison powder appeared in Su Ranyan's hand, and she threw it directly towards the Fourth Prince with a smile.
The Fourth Prince subconsciously covered his face with his sleeves: "Damn it."
Soon, there was another sound of horse hooves, surrounding the people here.
Su Ranyan retreated to a safe area with joy on her face. Her people finally arrived.
Unfortunately, her joy did not last for more than a few seconds. When she saw who was leading the group, her face turned pale.
"Brother, why is it you here!" The Fourth Prince's frightened voice came.
Feng Qingwu was wearing black and gold armor, with her long hair tied up in a high ponytail. Her stern face and the armor itself carried a murderous aura, making people feel chilled and frightened.
Feng Qingwu sneered, "Why? Are you surprised to see me?"
Su Ranyan pursed her lips and spoke as gently as possible: "Where is Feng Yechen?"
"Are you talking about the third brother?" Feng Qingwu finished speaking.
The general brought up the man tied up with ropes, picked him up and threw him forward.
When Su Ranyan saw the face, it was Feng Yechen who was about to lead the troops in, but he was caught by Feng Qingwu behind him.
The Fourth Prince was sobbing and begged Feng Qingwu to forgive his mistake.
As brave as he was before, he is as timid now.
Su Ranyan stumbled over, sword in hand, and helped Feng Yechen to his feet. She looked at Feng Qingwu with an accusing gaze and said in a stern voice, "My husband and I were only here to protect the emperor. I never thought you would secretly lead troops and collude with the generals to rebel!"
Feng Qingwu sneered: "Third sister-in-law, you are saying this the other way around, right? Bring those things up."
After he gave the order, someone immediately placed the offerings from the secret room in the side yard of Su Ranyan's Mansion in front of everyone.
There is a statue with fang-eyed features, which neither looks like a Buddha nor resembles one.
The key point is that one of the small Buddhas looks very similar to the current old emperor, and there is a needle stuck on the back of this small Buddha.
When everyone saw these things, they couldn't help but gasp.
Su Ranyan's face changed. How could they have discovered her things in the secret room? She quickly calmed down and looked at Feng Qingwu: "You are talking nonsense! You must be framing us!"
Seeing that she refused to admit it, Feng Qingwu laughed and said, "I am the Crown Prince, the heir apparent in name only. Why would I need to create these things to frame you? Moreover, this was discovered by the Prime Minister and the Generals themselves in Prince Chen's Mansion. Are you saying that they are colluding with me to frame you?"
Chu Hetian? ?
Su Ranyan was instantly furious. Chu Hetian was such a cunning old fox!
Su Ranyan gritted her teeth and said, "Now that things have come to this, nothing I say means anything. But do you think this is the end?"
As she spoke, her eyes glared at Feng Qingwu: "Feng Qingwu, you're having an affair with the son of Prime Minister Chu. How can the people of Xingguo be convinced that a crown prince of a country is having an affair with a man?"
Feng Qingwu didn't take her words to heart, and wrote clearly: "So what if he's a homosexual? Has he affected my governance of the world? Has he considered the people of Daxing?"
"What a not-so-good one." Su Ranyan chuckled: "I should have poisoned you back then. Have you been feeling good these years? You deserve it!"
Feng Qingwu's pupils shrank. It turned out that she was the one who poisoned him.
"I have no grudge against you, why do you treat me like this?"
"Why?" Su Ranyan murmured, and then said sternly:
"It's because you're heartless! No matter what I do to you, you're always indifferent. I didn't expect you to like men. Haha, it's really ridiculous. I've never heard such a ridiculous joke."
