The news from the palace quickly spread outside the palace, and by the time the queen came to her senses and wanted to block it, it was too late.
When Prince Rong received the news, he was resting in his bedroom and sleeping soundly. In his dream, he was walking towards the Golden Palace and was about to sit on the throne when he was suddenly awakened.
"Your Highness, something bad has happened! Something terrible has happened!"
Prince Rong watched the dragon throne vanish before his eyes. He was so angry that he opened his eyes and slapped the person who woke him up.
"ah!"
The slap was so powerful that his confidant fell to the ground. He covered his face and looked at him aggrievedly, but did not dare to say anything. He got up and knelt on the ground.
"What happened? Are you screaming like a ghost?"
Prince Rong glared at him fiercely, as if he would chop off his head if he didn't tell the truth.
The confidant knelt on the ground and said, "News came from the palace that the emperor has fainted. Now the entire Imperial Hospital has gone there, but he hasn't woken up yet."
"What?" Prince Rong was now completely awake. He jumped up from the bed, his eyes wide open. "Why did he faint? What happened?"
The confidant said, "I don't know. The spies in the palace said that the emperor received a secret letter and became very angry. Later, Li Jian went out to call for help. As for what was written in the letter, no one else knew except the emperor and Li Jian."
Prince Rong's eyelids twitched for some reason, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Besides that, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already entered the palace."
Prince Rong's eyes moved, his hands and feet felt numb, and he didn't know what to do.
He didn't receive any news, so it should have nothing to do with him, right?
But now he is still under house arrest and is not allowed to enter the palace without an imperial edict. If his father is unhappy to see him, his fate will definitely be even worse.
Now all I can do is wait.
Prince Rong frowned tightly.
The confidants knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe, waiting for Prince Rong's orders.
Prince Rong was silent for a long time and said, "Let's wait and see what happens. Let the spies in the palace get more information."
"Yes." The confidant took the order and left.
However, Prince Rong did not expect that waiting and watching would be tantamount to waiting for death.
…
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the emperor finally regained consciousness thanks to the full efforts of the Imperial Hospital. Fortunately, the emperor was only suffering from anger and did not have a stroke, otherwise it would have been troublesome.
After the emperor spat out the blood, his breathing became much smoother. He drank some medicine and leaned against the headboard, saying weakly, "Go—convey my decree. Prince Rong has accepted bribes, is plotting rebellion, and is colluding with generals. This is treason! Ahem… immediately send the Imperial Guards… to arrest everyone in Prince Rong's mansion and imprison them all! Investigate them for me! Anyone who disobeys my decree will be executed on the spot!"
"yes!"
Li Jian immediately took the order and left.
The emperor was truly furious this time. The Jinyiwei rushed to the outside of Prince Rong's mansion with murderous intent. The commander drew his embroidered spring sword and waved his hand: "Block all the doors, front, back, left, and right. Don't let any of them go. The emperor has ordered that they be captured!"
"yes!"
The Embroidered Uniform Guards surrounded Prince Rong's Mansion in an instant. The commander stepped forward and kicked the door open. Ignoring the people inside who tried to stop him, he led his men directly to the bedroom.
Prince Rong hurried out upon receiving the news, and just in time to meet the commander, he angrily shouted, "What are you doing? Who gave you the guts to trespass into the Prince's Mansion?!"
At the same time, his group of beauties, including Lan Yuning, were brought over. How could the women in the backyard have ever seen such a scene?
They all cried bitterly and shouted at Prince Rong, "Prince!"
"My Lord, please save me!"
Lan Yuning broke free from the Jinyiwei holding her and shouted, "Let go! I can walk on my own!"
She lifted her skirt and tried to run to Prince Rong, but before she got close, a sharp blade was immediately placed in front of her.
Lan Yuning took a deep breath and quickly stepped back.
"you--"
The commander said with a forced smile, "My apologies, Prince, and Concubine. The Emperor has ordered us to search Prince Rong's mansion. We apologize for the offense. If you and the Concubine are dissatisfied, please wait until you are in prison and then seek justice from the Emperor."
After saying this, his eyes flashed, and he turned his head and ordered: "Catch him!"
Upon receiving the order, the Imperial Guards immediately stepped forward, twisting Prince Rong's arms one on each side. Prince Rong's face flushed with anger, and he stretched his neck and shouted, "What have I done wrong? Why would my father treat me like this?"
The commander slowly put away the knife, "Oh, it's nothing, corruption, treason, it's not a big deal, just chop off the head and it will not implicate the entire clan, don't worry."
Prince Rong: “…”
Lan Yuning was so frightened when she heard this that her legs went weak. How could she feel at ease?
How could this happen? Wasn't it only later in his previous life that Prince Rong discovered all this? How could it happen so quickly in this life?
As Lan Yuning was being escorted out, she suddenly thought of something, "Lan Shuang...it must be her! She must be the one trying to harm me!"
She suddenly went crazy in the crowd, immediately attracting a lot of people's attention.
"Heh~" A light laugh should have been drowned out by the noisy voices, but Lan Yuning heard it.
She looked up suddenly and saw Lan Shuang standing in the crowd. She stood out in her white dress, without even a veil on.
She just looked at him through the crowd with compassion in her eyes.
This look deeply hurt Lan Yuning, and she struggled even more frantically: "Let me go! Let me go! Lan Shuang! You came here to laugh at me, right? Are you satisfied? I won't let you go! Lan Shuang!"
She screamed at the top of her lungs, her voice echoing throughout the streets and alleys, and people were talking about it.
The commander of the Jinyiwei scratched his ears impatiently, "It's too noisy."
His eyes flashed slightly and he made a gesture to his subordinates, who immediately understood and used a ball of cloth to cover Lan Yuning's mouth.
Lan Yuning wanted to vomit, but someone got a rope from somewhere and tied it around her mouth.
Lan Yu Ning: "..."
She rolled her eyes as if she was almost suffocating and tried hard to breathe through her nose.
Lan Shuang watched this scene, her gaze falling on the face of the commander who looked somewhat sinister.
"888, could this commander also be one of Ming Wang's men?"
888 flipped through the information. "Well, yes, Ming Wang saved his life back then. No one knows this. The commander back then was just a little beggar."
"No wonder."
Lan Shuang was thoughtful, "My prince's arms are really long."
The emperor's most trusted imperial physician was a man of the Ming King, and the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, whom he promoted, was also a man of the Ming King.
When everyone rebels together, the emperor must be very unhappy.
Lan Shuang exhaled lightly and smiled meaningfully, "I really can't wait."
She took one last look at Prince Rong and Lan Yuning, turned around and disappeared into the crowd, returning to Prince Ming's Palace.
