Mu Rushuang nodded, "We are still digging, but we have already found two bodies."

“…”

Ruyi felt complicated, "Is it someone from the former priest's temple?"

"Um."

Mu Rushuang looked at the direction of the Cao family at the foot of the mountain, with a chill in her eyes, "The Cao family has a way of seeking death."

Ruyi thought about the time Cao Ru drugged Mu Yuandao and consoled him, "It won't be long before they get their comeuppance."

The eldest princess couldn't get a word in.

But vaguely, she also felt that there were undercurrents in the court and that there were dangers lurking everywhere.

"You continue digging here. I'll take Cao Ru to the palace. There are some very important things in the afternoon and I'm afraid we won't have enough time." Ruyi glanced at the sun above her head.

It's almost noon.

"good."

Mu Rushuang asked two imperial guards to help carry away the sack containing Cao Ru.

Ruyi warned Mu Rushuang, "We left footprints when we came up, which might alert the Cao family. Once they find us, just arrest them directly. Don't spare anyone who is in the secret passage."

However, she will start with Cao Ru and try to delay time so that Cao Zhizhang can relax his vigilance.

After saying goodbye to Mu Rushuang, Ruyi and the eldest princess took Cao Ru and hurried into the palace to find the emperor.

"What are you going to do with him?"

The eldest princess glanced at Ruyi and found that she was looking straight ahead with a sparkling look in her eyes, and there was a sharp light in them.

Although he is young, he has some dignity.

Ruyi glanced at Cao Ru and said in a deep voice, "Keep it locked up, but take care of the tail."

The eldest princess only had a vague understanding of the matter.

But he didn't ask any more questions, and changed the subject: "My brother will be buried this afternoon, will you go?"

"there is no time."

Ruyi glanced at her and told her the truth, "I wouldn't go even if I had the time. That would seem hypocritical."

“…”

The eldest princess had nothing to say.

Yes, there was no love between the prince and Ruyi, only exploitation. As a result, even the exploitation could not be faithful to the end, and he hurriedly broke off the engagement halfway, which was extremely ugly.

No matter who Ruyi is, he would not have the slightest affection for the prince.

It really felt a bit hypocritical to go there.

The two of them said nothing more and entered the palace.

The emperor watched them come back and was about to ask what happened, but he saw two guards carrying a sack in. He frowned and asked, "Who's in here?"

"Your Majesty, it is Cao Ru."

Ruyi knelt on one knee, her voice clear and sonorous.

The emperor was stunned and a little surprised, "You arrested Cao Ru?"

He knew Ruyi was not slow in her actions, but he did not expect her to be so decisive and take action against Cao Ru directly...

Then, will it affect the progress of the whole thing?

Ruyi explained: "He was at the bottom of the secret passage and we ran into him. We couldn't let him out to tip off the others, so we had to arrest him."

The emperor nodded, "So what are you going to do next?"

Ruyi expressed her thoughts, "Wake him up first, then let him write a letter to Cao Zhizhang to appease him."

"There is a secret passage on the other side. If I'm not mistaken, there are more than a dozen boxes of explosives underneath. I plan to have someone destroy some of the explosives so that even if it explodes, it won't cause too much damage to the palace."

The princess was puzzled when she heard this, "Why isn't it all destroyed? If so, it wouldn't have exploded."

"We need to blow up some of it."

Ruyi was fishing, "Only when the palace is blown up, will the Third Prince really relax and think that everything is ready, and lead his men to rush into the capital and head straight for the palace."

"If he is too cautious, the hidden dangers will not be fully exposed, which will cause troubles."

“…”

The princess opened her mouth, and unexpectedly saw a hint of cruelty in her eyes.

Okay, the third prince wants to blow up the palace and kill them all at once.

Ruyi directly used the third prince's strategy to lure the enemy into a trap and catch everyone at once.

None of them are easy to deal with.

The emperor was also quite angry.

He was silent for a short moment before asking Ruyi, "Do you have a candidate?"

Ruyi thought for a moment and said, "Let Jingsan go in disguise."

"Your guard?"

The emperor looked at her, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes, and suddenly a trace of regret surged into his heart, his heart trembled, and his fingertips throbbed with pain——

If he had left someone to protect Bai Wanru back then, would she have survived?

However, at that time, Bai Wanru was accompanied by the four great masters of the Cao Gang, so he thought there should be no problem...

Now, it is too late to regret.

But Rong Yan actually sent the thirteen shadow guards of Fengyu Pavilion to follow Ruyi...his youngest son is more stable than him.

But even though he controls the overall situation, he is not a real god.

He didn’t know that Rong Yan had also lost something.

He was so heartbroken that he dared not make even the slightest mistake again. He would rather take the risk of Fengyu Pavilion being exposed and send people to guard Ruyi.

Ruyi had no idea what the emperor was thinking, and she didn't know that Jing San was one of the Thirteen Shadow Guards of Fengyu Pavilion. She nodded and said, "Among the five of me, Jing San is the most powerful. If he goes in, it will be difficult for him to be discovered."

"This way, the chances of winning are better."

The emperor nodded, "Yes."

As he said this, he signaled Eunuch Yuan to wake up Cao Ru.

Eunuch Yuan simply brought a basin of ice water and poured it into the sack.

Cao Ru was startled and immediately woke up.

Then it started to struggle, and the whole sack began to move, like a maggot.

Eunuch Yuan stepped forward and opened the sack.

Cao Ru stared and was about to curse, wanting to see who was plotting against him, but when he looked up and saw Eunuch Yuan, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar and his eyes widened in shock.

"Woo woo—" He struggled to make a sound.

Eunuch Yuan squatted down and took off the rag from his mouth. "Lord Cao is very well hidden."

Eunuch Yuan sneered.

"Why is it you?"

Cao Ru hadn't reacted yet. He stared at Eunuch Yuan and his mind was working rapidly. Then he remembered that he was being plotted against in the tunnel.

But wasn’t that done by Zhao Si?

Why did I see Eunuch Yuan the moment I opened my eyes?

Before he could figure it out, he heard Ruyi sneer, "Master Cao, don't you see where you are?"

Cao Ru was startled.

Turning around, he saw Ruyi and the princess standing by. They were clearly wearing Huang Dazhui and Yan Heidou's clothes, but the coverings on their faces had been removed!

"It's you guys?"

Cao Ru felt as if he was hit on the head with a stick, and his head buzzed!

Oh no!

The one who knocked him out was definitely not Zhao Si, but Ruyi and the princess's men!

But why would the emperor call them both...

Only at this moment did he realize that something seemed wrong here.

This is the imperial study!

His neck was stiff, and he slowly turned his head to look in the direction of the dragon throne. When he saw the emperor sitting behind the dragon table, he was so shocked that his soul left his body, "Emperor! Your Majesty!"

"It's so cold, and Lord Cao is still digging a hole in the ground."

The emperor looked at his face, his emotions unrecognizable but terrifying.

Cao Ru has been in the court for many years, so how could he not know what the emperor's reaction meant?

The more chaotic the situation, the calmer the emperor became.

The person behind the Long case has this kind of incredible ability, which is different from normal people.

No need to think too much, the secret passage has been exposed!

The explosives were also exposed!

The Cao family is about to be finished!
