What?
Is A Yuan poisoned?
How is that possible?
Didn't A Yuan make arrangements in advance?
She went to the Prince of Ruyang's mansion to fish, not to "risk her life".
"What exactly happened? Tell me!"
Helian Jue's heart stopped, and his vision went black.
He simply didn't believe it, nor did he want to believe it.
In his memory, his A Yuan was a master strategist.
No matter how difficult the situation or how troublesome the matter, she can handle it with ease.
The rebellion plotted by the Prince of Ruyang's family, which had been planned for decades, seemed quite troublesome.
However, Nanling already had help as an inside agent, and there were also Jinyiwei (Imperial Guards) and Embroidered Uniform Envoys responsible for gathering information.
If Xie Yuan wanted to, she could easily keep track of all the happenings in the Ruyang Prince's Mansion.
...Helian Jue simply couldn't imagine who else could possibly plot against A Yuan!
"That day, Her Majesty did indeed wipe out the entire Ruyang Prince's mansion."
"The remnants of the Yellow Sect who were hiding in the Yong'an Marquis's mansion were also captured by Xie Zhen's scheme."
The visitor was a shadow guard left by Helian Jue for Xie Yuan.
No sooner had Xie Yuan collapsed than he rode off at top speed, arriving before Helian Jue in less than half a day at a frantic pace.
The moment it reached the military camp, the fine Ferghana horse coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground in agony.
It actually died from exhaustion!
This is the true meaning of the urgent 800-li delivery; a fine steed can indeed travel 800 li in a day.
But basically, you're ruined after running it.
Therefore, in many cases, "800 li urgent" is more like an adjective, describing something as fast and urgent.
A truly fast horse that can travel three or four hundred li in a day is already quite remarkable.
This requires switching between two horses, and the rider must remain alert and vigilant at all times.
For ordinary travel, being able to travel more than 100 miles a day is considered very fast.
For example, last time, Xie Yuan traveled from the capital to Zhongzhou, a distance of seven or eight hundred li, and it took him seven or eight days to travel.
It was definitely a forced march, and it was her, a pampered noblewoman, who performed exceptionally well.
There's no way around it; humans and horses are both made of flesh and blood.
Everyone needs to eat, sleep, and rest.
It's impossible to mechanically convert based on speed, time, etc.!
This time, the Shadow Guards came to deliver the message using the fastest possible speed, even at the risk of exhausting the guards and horses or causing them to die unexpectedly, just to get the message to the Emperor as quickly as possible.
No one knew their master's feelings for the mistress better than the shadow guard.
Furthermore, with the Empress poisoned, much of the capital is in chaos.
Fortunately, the Prince Yong's residence was quite reliable.
Although the Fourth Prince is a good-for-nothing, Princess Xu is brave, resourceful, and decisive.
The moment Xie Yuan died, Princess Xu ordered the sealing of the Prince's Mansion, the Imperial Palace, and other places.
Xie Yuan's female officials also stepped forward immediately.
Stabilize the council hall, investigate the mastermind, find a cure for the Empress, and seal off the entire capital.
Even though Xie Yuan had collapsed, the palace and the capital were still firmly under her control!
Several families who wanted to take advantage of the situation had to think twice before acting, considering whether they could defeat the female soldiers or withstand the mace of Princess Xu.
Of course, some people have something to hide, yet they still don't forget to slander the Prince Yong's Mansion for having ulterior motives.
Mu Jialuo, who had already married Helian Chen, brought her family's hundreds of books and put them fully armed on the interface.
Mugalo herself was also fully armored and wielding a lance, looking like a majestic female general.
Princess Xu was in charge of the East District, while Mu Jialuo was responsible for the West District.
The appearance of Mu Jialuo made everyone suddenly realize: Oh right, the Emperor and Empress also have Helian Chen.
Although Helian Chen himself accompanied the emperor on his personal campaign, he left half of his private army in the capital.
Helian Chen's private army was about the same size as the guards of the Prince of Yong's mansion.
Princess Xu and Mu Jialuo were both daughters of military families, and were extremely fierce.
If the Prince of Yong's mansion truly intended to take advantage of the situation and fish in troubled waters, Mu Jialuo would be the first to object.
vice versa!
The two sides have actually created a stalemate.
"This supreme couple has truly calculated things to the extreme."
Many high-ranking officials realized this and sighed inwardly.
Consort Xu and Mu Jialuo, on the contrary, did not have any disloyal intentions. Instead, they helped Xie Yuan stabilize the entire capital city in the first instance.
"Empress Xie is truly remarkable. What exactly did she do to make these women so devoted to her?"
These people all attended the birthday banquet at the Prince of Ruyang's residence and witnessed firsthand the falling out between Helian Qi and Princess Nanling.
Judging from Helian Qi's words, it turns out that Nanling betrayed her husband and in-laws because of her loyalty to Empress Xie.
Tsk, although this was an era of fierce folk customs, there were quite a few noblewomen who were "promiscuous".
However, the original meaning of "人尽可夫" is: one can only have one father, but one can have many husbands.
This is a contest between love and family.
What about Nanling?
What was the relationship between her and Empress Xie?
Ruler and subject?
The greater good?
Nanling and the many women: ...What do you know! This is friendship!
The bond between women is no less profound than the so-called "brotherhood" of you stinky men.
For her female officials, Empress Xie was not only a close confidante, but also their idol and a source of faith!
Therefore, even if Helian Jue was not there, and even if he might fall victim to the attack, Xie Yuan was fearless.
Behind her are many friends who share the same ideals and pursuits.
