When the imperial edict was released, the entire palace was in chaos.
Thinking of Gu Yanyue, whom she had always hated, Concubine Su immediately sent people to look for her whereabouts.
Nowadays, there are very few maids that Concubine Su can trust, so she simply arranged for her personal maid Qiao Cui to do these things, which was also an opportunity to test Qiao Cui.
In order to avoid arousing Concubine Su's suspicion, she always did her best to meet Concubine Su's requests.
Qiao Cui went forward with the imperial edict and saw Gu Yanyue, who had remained calm and composed from beginning to end.
Her face was filled with disdain, and she then said in a cold voice, "Empress, you have been deposed and should be sent to the cold palace."
Hearing this, Gu Yanyue narrowed her eyes slightly, but her expression remained calm.
Gu Yanyue had already anticipated today's situation.
Fortunately, Qin Ruoruo had already disguised herself as a servant early on, and she followed Gu Yanyue to the cold palace.
In this way, Qin Ruoruo can protect Gu Yanyue as much as possible.
After all, Gu Yanyue is still pregnant.
Seeing Gu Yanyue and several maids staying in the cold palace obediently, Qiao Cui smiled smugly, then turned around and instructed the maids following behind her, "You stay here and watch over them. Remember not to let anyone leave."
Hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.
As soon as Qiao Cui left, Gu Yanyue felt waves of pain in her abdomen.
Her face instantly turned as pale as paper, and even her lips were bloodless.
Looking at Gu Yanyue like this, Qin Ruoruo felt a tightness in her heart and became more and more worried about Gu Yanyue's situation.
"Yanyue, lie down on the bed first. I'll check on the situation for you."
After hearing what Qin Ruoruo said, Gu Yanyue nodded in agreement. Then Qin Ruoruo carefully reached out to support her arm, with a look of pity in her eyes, "Yanyue, be careful."
After Gu Yanyue lay down, Qin Ruoruo took her pulse.
Knowing that Gu Yanyue was about to give birth, Qin Ruoruo hurriedly prepared the pregnancy-preserving medicine and prepared to deliver Gu Yanyue.
At the same time, Qin Ruoruo couldn't help but secretly rejoice that when she learned that Gu Yanyue was about to give birth, she had already asked the midwife about the steps of delivering the baby.
Although Qin Ruoruo had never done these things herself, she would never allow herself to make any mistakes.
Arrived at the royal hunting ground in the western suburbs.
General Su saw Yuwen Ran wearing a bright yellow dragon robe from afar.
A wanton smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he ordered the guards beside him: "Bring the bows and arrows here."
The guard beside him respectfully handed the bow and arrow to General Su.
Then General Su raised the bow and arrow in his hand without hesitation, his eyes full of confidence.
"call out--"
There was a slight noise in the air, and when "Yuwen Ran" heard it, the arrow had already pierced his heart.
Seeing many people gathering around him, General Su mistakenly thought that he had succeeded.
But when he rushed over with many guards, he realized belatedly that the person who had died tragically from the arrow was just a guard who pretended to be Yuwen Ran.
General Su frowned, turned around and looked at the people around him, and immediately started questioning.
"Where is Yuwen Ran?"
After hearing General Su's question, everyone was in a panic.
However, the only thing General Su could be sure of was that he had fallen into a trap.
I think Yuwen Ran must be in the palace now.
Rather than surrender, it is better to fight to the death.
While General Su was thinking this, he hurriedly led his soldiers to the palace.
Hearing the sounds of fighting outside the palace, Yuwen Ran felt exceptionally calm.
The civil and military officials were somewhat surprised.
Seeing the soldiers approaching step by step, Yuwen Ran slowly stood up.
Then the soldiers stepped aside and General Su came over with a sword in his hand.
"Yuwen Ran, you don't have the ability to be the ruler of a country. You'd better surrender now."
In a word, General Su spoke flamboyantly and wantonly.
Yuwen Ran remained indifferent and did not respond.
General Su mistakenly thought Yuwen Ran was frightened and sneered, "Yuwen Ran, if you are willing to give up your position, perhaps I can still consider sparing your life."
It would be a good idea to spare his life.
When he heard this, Yuwen Ran couldn't help but think that all of this was extremely funny.
"General Su, you are truly arrogant."
As soon as Yu Wenran finished speaking, countless people rushed over.
General Su's soldiers who were waiting outside the hall had already been wiped out.
It was not difficult to recruit some of the soldiers under General Su by combining the Imperial Guards, the Secret Guards, and the Gu family's soldiers.
At the same time, Yuwen Ran specially sent someone to invite Concubine Su and Noble Lady Su over.
Concubine Su mistakenly thought it was General Su's order, and hurried over immediately. However, Concubine Su never thought that General Su was surrounded by many soldiers at this moment.
Life hangs by a thread.
The secret guard who had previously committed adultery with Concubine Su also appeared quietly.
"At this moment, the so-called little prince Yuwen Zhi is definitely not my blood relative."
When everyone present heard Yu Wenran say this, they were all shocked.
On the contrary, General Su's expression changed again and again.
Seeing that Concubine Su and Lady Su had already arrived, Yuwen Ran said, "The person who gave birth to the little prince with Concubine Su was this secret guard."
"It is because Concubine Su is in the imperial palace that she does not know how to behave."
When Concubine Su heard these words from Yuwen Ran himself, her heels went weak and she fell to the ground.
Concubine Su was unwilling to accept this and tried to defend herself, "Your Majesty, you misunderstood. I have never done such things."
Just at this moment, Concubine Su slowly walked forward.
Her expression remained calm, and she spoke calmly, "What the Emperor said is all true. Moreover, I have countless evidence of the Su family's crimes."
As she spoke, Concubine Su presented all the evidence she had prepared earlier to Yuwen Ran like treasures.
The Su family's sins were so severe that all nine generations of the family were implicated.
Only Concubine Su remained sober at all times and saved her own life.
The guards around them surrounded them and arrested General Su and Concubine Su.
General Su committed treason and was beheaded in public at noon.
Perhaps to warn the world, Yuwen Ran specially sent people to hang General Su's head outside the city gate.
Concubine Su was temporarily detained back in the palace to collect other evidence of her crimes.
