Tomorrow is the autumn hunt in the capital.
For General Su, this is the best opportunity now. If he misses this opportunity, he may have no other chance to rebel.
While others were not paying attention, General Su went to the palace to look for Concubine Su.
Seeing General Su suddenly coming in front of her, Concubine Su frowned slightly, her eyes full of hatred.
But in order to avoid arousing General Su's suspicion, she had to pretend to be calm and composed as much as possible, and pretend to be respectful.
"How come you have time to come here today?"
As soon as Concubine Su finished speaking, General Su spoke with a cold face.
"During the Autumn Hunt, I will force the emperor to abdicate. You will need to cooperate with me then."
General Su made his purpose clear without any hesitation. He was obviously sure that Concubine Su did not have the courage to betray him and would never do anything to harm the interests of the Su family.
General Su frowned as he still didn't hear Concubine Su's answer. He turned around and glanced at her.
"What? You don't intend to follow my arrangements?"
Suddenly, Concubine Su was a little surprised when she heard General Su's question in a raised tone.
She first shook her head slightly, and then said deliberately: "I never thought so."
"If that's the case, then tomorrow you will work with me from the inside out, and assassinate Yuwen Ran secretly when he's not paying attention."
General Su's audacity really surprised Concubine Su.
But Concubine Su could only agree respectfully as before, "I understand."
As soon as General Su was sent away, Concubine Su secretly told Gu Yanyue everything.
When she learned about this, Gu Yanyue's face was full of surprise. She had never expected that General Su would act so hastily.
When she met Gu Yanyue's eyes, Concubine Su mistakenly thought that she was unwilling to believe her words. Then Concubine Su made a serious promise, "Your Majesty, I assure you that what I said just now was all said by General Su."
Before Noble Lady Su could say anything more, Gu Yanyue nodded in understanding, "Noble Lady Su, it's not that I don't want to believe you, it's just that these things are too unbelievable."
No matter what, Gu Yanyue had seen Concubine Su's previous situation.
As for a time like this, Concubine Su would definitely not lie casually.
"But today, thank you for informing me of this matter."
As he spoke, a sincere smile appeared on Gu Yanyue's face.
Being trusted by Gu Yanyue, Concubine Su also felt relieved.
On the day of autumn hunting, Yuwen Ran led all the officials to the royal hunting ground.
General Su and Concubine Su claimed to be ill and did not attend the autumn hunt.
Yu Wenran did acquiesce to the outside world, and even reminded them to take good care of their health.
But Yuwen Ran knew what General Su's real intention was.
The Su family is planning a rebellion, and the situation in Kyoto is about to change.
"Today, my dear ministers, please go hunting. Whoever catches the most prey will be rewarded handsomely."
After hearing what Yuwen Ran said, the other court officials all rushed over, eager to try.
Looking at everyone galloping out on horseback, Yuwen Ran felt exceptionally calm in his heart.
Just one hour later, the weather in Kyoto suddenly changed, strong winds blew, and then continuous heavy rain followed.
As early as this time, General Su secretly led the army into the city of Kyoto. He also vowed that this time Yuwen Ran had no chance of survival at all, and he would definitely be able to seize the throne from Yuwen Ran.
At the same time, Concubine Su sneaked into the imperial study.
She searched everywhere just to find the imperial seal.
After searching for a while, Qiao Cui beside him pointed to a wooden box placed on the table.
"My lady, is that what you are looking for?"
Hearing this, Concubine Su frowned slightly, then walked forward.
At first, Concubine Su never expected that Yuwen Ran would put the imperial seal in public, but when she opened it carefully and saw that it was indeed the imperial seal, a hint of joy appeared on Concubine Su's face.
"Qiao Cui, this time it's really all thanks to you."
Hearing Concubine Su's compliments, Qiao Cui just reached out and scratched her head embarrassedly.
When Concubine Su didn't notice, a gleam of light flashed in Qiao Cui's eyes.
Perhaps Concubine Su thought that she had obtained the imperial seal with great difficulty, but in fact, this was just a trap set by Yuwen Ran.
It was precisely because Yuwen Ran knew that General Su was going to use the day of the Autumn Hunt to launch a rebellion that he deliberately placed out such an important item as the Imperial Seal and allowed Concubine Su to use it.
Remembering General Su's previous instructions, Concubine Su took the brush in her hand and wrote an imperial edict slowly and calmly.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims that the birth of the young prince, Yuwen Zhi, coincides with an auspicious time, a sign of great fortune. Therefore, Yuwen Zhi is hereby appointed Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace."
But when she thought of Gu Yanyue, whom she always disliked in the harem, Concubine Su clenched her fists tightly and wrote an edict to demote Gu Yanyue to the cold palace.
Seeing Concubine Su writing the imperial edict on her own, Qiao Cui couldn't help but ask a question in confusion.
"My Lady, what are you doing..."
Hearing this, Concubine Su glanced at her, and then said slowly, "Nothing."
Having said that, the edict to appoint Concubine Su as the mistress of the six palaces and to the current Empress has already been written.
When the edict was issued, the whole world was shocked.
Especially General Shen and the Gu family, they couldn't believe that this imperial edict was true.
But that was the imperial seal. Even though they found it shocking, they never doubted its authenticity.
At this moment in the Su Mansion, General Su has made all preparations.
He took a deep breath, turned around and looked at several confidants around him, and then spoke directly.
"Today's matter can only succeed, not fail."
If they fail, I'm afraid the entire Su family will be wiped out.
This was something General Su would never allow to happen, and he was also very confident in himself.
Several secret guards nodded and responded respectfully: "As you command."
As Yuwen Ran expected, General Su led his troops to the royal hunting ground in the western suburbs.
On the contrary, Yuwen Ran remained calm and composed from beginning to end. He casually raised his head and looked at the sky. Seeing the dark clouds, he became more calm.
During this period of time, Yuwen Ran was indeed very frugal.
Since General Su has decided to rebel, Yuwen Ran will definitely not let him do whatever he wants.
