"Mother, Mother, I just received news that..."
"Emperor!"
Duanmu Lun spoke eagerly as soon as he stepped into the imperial concubine's palace, but was interrupted before he could finish his words.
The woman sitting in the main seat looked to be in her twenties. She had delicate makeup on and her well-maintained face showed no signs of aging.
When Duanmu Lun saw his mother's stern face, he immediately shut up and stood in front of her.
The imperial concubine glanced at the people in the room and waved her hand: "You all go down, Qiulan stay."
After everyone left one after another, Qiulan stood at the door and looked around. After making sure that no one was there, she closed the door and nodded to the person in the higher position.
"My son, your mother has told you many times not to be so reckless. You will inherit the throne in the future. Have you ignored my words?"
The imperial concubine was very dissatisfied. What happened during this period made her feel a sense of urgency.
In addition, her son, whom she had always had high hopes for, kept causing trouble, which gave her a headache.
But after all, he was her most beloved son, and she couldn't bear to punish him.
Duanmu Lun admitted his mistake in a good manner: "Mother, I will remember it in the future. It's just that I was too impatient this time."
"I received news that your father has learned about your drugging him, and the imperial physician has already investigated the matter."
If it wasn't such a big deal, why would he come to the palace after having a nightmare last night?
After a few days of calm, he started seeing those things again. Thinking about it now, he felt a chill all over his body.
The imperial concubine's originally relaxed demeanor suddenly became cold, and her voice couldn't help but become spicy: "How did you know this? Is it true?"
Why didn't she get the news? Could it be that the people serving in the main hall...
"It's absolutely true, Mother. Didn't I tell you yesterday that the Emperor asked me to do something, and that he would make me the Crown Prince once I finished it?"
"Then, in order to curry my favor, Eunuch Li took the initiative to talk to me, and it was he who passed on the news to me."
"It's said that he hadn't noticed it at first, but last night, my father encountered a ghost and was so frightened that the poison was triggered."
Duanmu Lun simply recounted the incident, but what he didn't know was that Duanmu Yurong didn't directly say that it was the imperial concubine who did it.
If she knew this, perhaps the imperial concubine would not act so rashly.
However, this was a trap set by Xunmiao, and this was the effect she wanted.
"Snap." The imperial concubine's beautifully applied nails were broken off, and her face, which had been dignified a moment ago, instantly became sinister.
Zhenzhen is no different from Duanmu Yurong, they are indeed the same kind of people.
"Mother, what should we do now?" Duanmu Lun was a little panicked. If his father really investigated, he and his mother would be in big trouble.
He hasn't even taken that position yet, so he absolutely cannot fail in such a frustrating way.
"Qiulan, what's the matter?" The imperial concubine was a little annoyed, and when she saw Qiulan opened a crack and said something to someone, she became even more irritable.
Qiulan nodded to the person outside, handed out a small purse, closed the door, and hurriedly ran to kneel in front of the imperial concubine with a panicked look on her face.
"Your Majesty, this is bad. The Emperor has already learned about your drugging and is blocking the news. He's secretly making some arrangements."
"Bang." The imperial concubine kicked the small table at her feet fiercely. It was really damnable that it was exposed at this critical moment.
We are all from the Qi family. We are all dead. Can't we just be content and make such a fuss?
It must have been done by that mysterious girl from the Qi family. Stroking his wrist, he thought that since he had been exposed, he had no choice but to strike first.
"Qiulan sent a message to my brother and father, asking them to prepare to force the emperor tonight."
A murderous look flashed in her eyes. She had originally wanted that thing to live for two more years, but since he was seeking death, it was no wonder she was not to blame.
"My son, go and get ready. You will ascend the throne tomorrow." The imperial concubine made the final decision. If a person does not care about himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.
Duanmu Lun wanted to say something, but in the end he just nodded in agreement and left the imperial concubine's palace.
"I didn't expect this imperial concubine to be so decisive. She chose tonight directly. Is she afraid of more trouble later?"
After watching it, Xunmi complained with a smile, saying that there would be a good show tonight.
Although the emperor seemed to have not prepared anything, the secret guards he trained were no pushovers.
Add to that the palace guards who are under his control, and it is hard to say who will win.
As for the oriole behind the mantis stalking the cicada, it must be them.
Tonight, I'm really looking forward to it.
But...why does it seem like everything is done at night, especially the bad things? Is it really the dark and windy night when murders and arson occur?
"Tell Yulin to wait for a good show tonight." Playing with the peony in his hand, Xunmi smiled cunningly.
"By the way, remember to attract all the ministers here. A good show wouldn't be complete without an audience."
It would be difficult for them to perform without an audience, so the emperor and the imperial concubine had to be the actors who entertained the public.
"Yes." Mu Jiu, who had just returned and had no time to catch his breath, rushed away again.
My heart is full of tears. This master is so cruel. It's so tiring to be his subordinate.
Mu Shi, who had been staying in the dark without moving, was very relieved that it was not him who ran errands. Fortunately, fortunately.
God knows, I'm almost exhausted from nagging them all the time these days.
After arranging all the search plans, she and her husband appeared on the roof of a palace not far away when night fell.
Looking at the brightly lit Qinzheng Hall in front, that was where the emperor handled affairs, at this moment a group of people were surrounding it from all directions.
Lying on the glazed tiles, I watched intently the upcoming big show of the year, then looked somewhere in the front right. Well, the audience had arrived.
"Xun'er, don't go out later, understand? It's dangerous. I will take care of things."
Duanmu Yulin paid attention to that side while noticing the expressions of the people around him. Seeing that her eyes were full of excitement, he quickly spoke.
He didn't want her to take any risks, and he couldn't tolerate even the slightest threat.
Xunmi's desire to get involved was instantly extinguished. Since her husband had spoken, she might as well...be obedient.
He nodded with great difficulty, promising not to make a fuss later.
Duanmu Yulin smiled and rubbed Xunmi's head. His reluctant but helpless look was so adorable.
"I'll call you when I'm sure there's no danger." After all, I couldn't bear to see her disappointed expression.
"Okay, okay, Yulin, don't worry. I'm so strong, those scumbags are no match for me. I will protect myself."
Xunmi rubbed her head on her husband's shoulder and made a serious promise, her eyes filled with moonlight, full of bright expectations.
"How dare you! You are so bold." The roar that resounded through the sky instantly scared the two people who were silently looking at each other and expressing their affection.
