Chapter 459 Trap

Her scattered gaze suddenly focused, her eyes froze, and her pupils shrank to the limit of human size.

The black and white words on the letter were so clear.

It was said that the emperor was controlled by evil people, so she was sent to the palace to rescue him.

Instantly, a feeling of excitement quickly spread to her mind, and she sat up abruptly, sweeping the fruit plate on the table to the ground with her sleeves.

Here comes the opportunity...

As for returning power after the rescue, it is impossible.

The emperor would only ignore state affairs because of a "serious illness" and pass the throne to the crown prince.

Bei Jingchu stood up and shouted: "Changyan! Pass it on——"

The voice stopped for a moment, and the rationality that had been suppressed by the excitement emerged at this moment.

Something is not right. Something is not right.

The news may or may not be true, and a brain occupied by emotions is irrational.

Just like how she had set up a trap for the Zhang family to frame her master before, even though the trap was full of flaws, the prey jumped in without hesitation.

It was just because the temptation was too great, the impulse and the joy of impending victory made them lose their minds.

Just like now...

Bei Jingchu stood up and slowly sat down to calm herself down.

No matter how urgent it is, there is no rush.

Hearing the call, Chang Yan walked in, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

She shook her head and said, "Nothing. I just thought of something and then I forgot it."

Haoyue waited on the side and did not go out. "Then I will stay here, so that Your Highness will not forget it when I come in after finally remembering it."

Bei Jingchu didn't say anything, but just stood up and walked around the edge of the bedroom.

Until the fire in my heart was forcibly extinguished.

She picked up the letter in her hand again, her mind racing, she thought of countless guesses, and finally her eyes went dark, extreme panic spread.

There was only one thought in my mind: the matter of the private soldiers might have been leaked.

Her body went limp, and she slowly sat down on the ground with the help of Changyan.

Chang Yan kept calling her worriedly, but Bei Jingchu couldn't hear clearly and could only see her mouth opening and closing.

Perhaps not much time had passed, but the thoughts in my mind kept turning around and around, as if a long time had passed.

Only when her thoughts came into focus did she hear Chang Yan's anxious voice: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you? I'll go get the imperial physician!"

Bei Jingchu reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her back as she was about to go out and tell the servants.

"No need." The voice that uttered these two words was hoarse.

But she didn't have time to care, she just said: "Call Commander Jiang, quickly!"

Seeing her unusual expression, Chang Yan did not ask anyone to deliver the message, but went there himself.

Jiang Longshou, who received the news, hurried over, but because he was a martial artist, he left her far behind.

The boy's eyes were bright and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Unfortunately, Bei Jingchu didn't have time to appreciate the beauty at this time, so she handed the letter from the imperial concubine to him.

Jiang Longshou's expression changed when he saw the letter.

The first reaction was that what the imperial concubine said was true, and now was a good opportunity, and they could mutiny without having to find an excuse.

When the palace is surrounded, the emperor's life or death will be a matter of their words.

but......

He raised his head and glanced at Bei Jingchu's expression.

To outsiders, it may look like a face covered with scars, and it is hard to tell anything.

But he knew her so well.

Since he was an ordinary eunuch with no reputation in his childhood, he has been secretly watching her every move.

Her feelings were clearly revealed in front of him, and it seemed that something good was about to happen.

The examiner's mood gave him a reference, and Jiang Longshou corrected his own answers.

Since it is a bad thing...it must be a fraud.

The prince had no military power and only had the ten officers of the Eastern Palace as guards.

Getting the support of generals and having military power are two different things. You cannot directly dispatch troops, so why would you ask the prince for help?

Instead of looking for generals.

unless......

Jiang Longshou asked uncertainly, "Are they trying to test you?"

Bei Jingchu nodded, "You saw it too."

And he tested her in the name of the imperial concubine.

It is impossible for the Imperial Concubine to do such a thing. The Emperor must have gotten the news from somewhere and knew that she had her own private soldiers, so he used the Imperial Concubine to set a trap.

If she led her troops into the palace today, what awaited her would be catching a turtle in a jar.

Thinking of this, Bei Jingchu broke out in a cold sweat and even her hair became wet and sticky.

In fact, when she first saw the letter, she was really excited to take the bait, but she forced herself to think rationally.

Why is the emperor so ruthless? With every step on the edge of a knife, emotions are something that can cause great harm.

Bei Jingchu took a deep breath.

It's really... full of traps.

......

In the Ganlu Palace, the imperial concubine sat on the left side of the emperor, praying nervously in her heart.

She didn't know why the emperor asked her to write such a letter to Chu Chu, and she had a hunch that there was something fishy going on.

But she was accused before she could even say no. The emperor's cold voice reached her ears: "Why doesn't the imperial concubine dare to write? Is she really conspiring with the crown prince?"

Concubine Fang Gui's heart was about to jump out of her throat.

Even if she didn't know much about state affairs, she knew she couldn't accept these words.

To admit it means to acknowledge that the prince did have a conspiracy and to plead guilty directly.

The imperial concubine wrote the letter, regretting that she and the prince had not agreed on any secret codes beforehand, so there was a problem in delivering the message.

She didn't know what the emperor was going to do, she just felt uneasy.

Concubine Zhu sat on the emperor's right side. She smiled silently at the silence in Ganlu Palace and looked forward to the next scene.

She had discussed this with her fifth prince, and as long as this was accomplished, the crown prince's dethronement would be a done deal.

After the silence, as the sound of weapons came into her ears, the smile on Concubine Zhu's face grew wider and wider.

The imperial concubine clenched her palms tightly, thinking that she had made a wrong judgment.
