The emperor knew that there might be something wrong with the imperial edict to recall Mo Qin.
The battle report from the border came back, but the people did not come back.
This signal was what really alerted the emperor.
But now is obviously not the time to find out the truth.
If her body can't hold on and she dies, there must be someone who can temporarily stabilize the situation. It would be best to call Mo Qin back quickly.
The emperor sent another person, but he didn't know whether he could successfully deliver the message.
"His Majesty……"
Someone was startled by this and tried to say something comforting with a trembling voice.
The emperor raised his hand and pressed it, "Alright, no need to say those useless things."
…
The emperor summoned people to the palace, as if to arrange his funeral, but this matter certainly did not escape the eyes and ears of those who were interested.
Many people are ready to take action.
Yang Gui, who had lived in the palace for a long time, also came to visit.
He lay prone in front of the bed, holding the emperor's hands tightly with both hands, with rare tenderness in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, it's been a long time since we last met. How did you become..." You look so miserable now.
Under such circumstances, the emperor became less wary of the man who had lost his only daughter.
Therefore, among all the attendants, Yang Guifei served as attendant to the sick far more times than anyone else.
Yang Gui was obviously very happy and looking forward to it, but he still tried hard to pretend to be worried.
The group led by the Third Princess was even more active.
He attempted to take advantage of this excellent opportunity to seize the throne.
They were making a lot of noise.
As the saying goes, the first tree to stick its head out gets shot, and the emperor also used his last bit of strength to suppress many people.
On the other hand, those who supported the princess were eerily quiet.
"When will Her Royal Highness return to the court?"
"What's the point of fighting at this critical juncture?"
"If the people from the Third Princess don't come back soon, it will be too late."
"Who knows...how much longer it can last."
The emperor's coma lasted longer and longer, and no one knew when he would die.
-
Jiang Yanning has been staying in the Princess's Mansion these days and has not gone out.
"Does Your Highness know what happened in the capital?"
The emperor's health has long been deteriorating, and now he has been secretly poisoned. Unless a god descends from heaven, no one can save him.
As soon as the emperor dies... No, maybe I won't even have to wait until the emperor dies.
Qin Yu's face was filled with worry. "A lot of people are watching us now. Even the people sent by the emperor have been secretly intercepted."
On the surface, the one with the greatest chance of winning is the Third Princess, but secretly there is also the Fourth Princess lurking.
However, only a few people know about the Four Princesses.
Jiang Yanning looked at the world outside the courtyard wall
"Can't your people get out?"
Jiang Yanning didn't know Mo Qin's specific plan, nor did he know whether things were developing as Mo Qin expected.
He only knew that the security in the mansion had become increasingly strict in the past few days.
Several waves of assassins attempted to sneak into the mansion.
Qin Yu didn't say much, but only comforted her half-heartedly.
"Princess? Don't worry, His Highness will make all the arrangements."
“…”
How could he not worry?
This concerns the life and death of Mo Qin and himself.
Jiang Yanning wanted to say something, but when he saw Qin Fu's face, he couldn't say anything.
Even if she had, she wouldn't tell herself.
Qin Yu is a calm person. She will complete whatever Mo Qin assigns her, even if it means she is left behind to protect him.
But Jiang Yanning could feel that Qin Fu did not have much goodwill towards him, and even felt a little repulsive towards him.
After a few more days, the situation in the capital became even more serious, and even the air seemed to be suffocating.
Jiang Yanning heard a commotion outside.
A young servant stumbled in from outside, his face pale and his legs trembling.
"Outside, outside...someone has surrounded the Princess's residence!"
Jiang Yanning stood up, "What!"
He looked outside and saw that the servants in the mansion were a little panicked, but he didn't hear any sound of anyone breaking in.
"Whose man is it?"
"I don't know. I don't know the person who led the group."
Those people were well-trained and well-equipped, and they were obviously regular troops.
Jiang Yanning murmured in his heart when he heard the servant's description.
Could it be the Third Princess's people?
"Where's Qin Yu?"
"Master Qin..."
Before Xiao Si finished speaking, someone came in from outside. It was Qin Fu and his men.
It was the Third Princess's men who surrounded the Princess's Mansion, but those people only surrounded the Princess's Mansion and had no intention of breaking in.
An hour ago, news came from the palace that the emperor had passed away.
Although the Third Princess's military power was confiscated, she still had some people under her command due to her position.
She quickly took control of those who did not support her and posed a threat to her.
Jiang Yanning felt that this matter was not right
"Is the Third Princess planning a rebellion?"
The emperor is gone, but no one has mentioned any imperial edict. I wonder if it was intercepted by someone.
But even if not, it should be the princess who ascends the throne.
Now that the Crown Princess is not around, the Third Princess thinks she has gotten a good deal.
-
The imperial palace, above the main hall.
The third princess was wearing armor and holding a sword, surrounded by a group of court officials.
Someone stood in the crowd, pointed at Mo Zheng and asked angrily
"Third Princess, what do you mean by this!"
"Are you planning a rebellion?!"
Mo Zheng glanced at the man and sneered, "The country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Now that my mother has passed away, I am naturally here to inherit the throne!"
“!!”
He hasn't even become the emperor yet, but he's already calling himself "Zhen"!
