Zheng Xian was shocked: "Why do you say that, Lord Cai?"
Cai Mao glanced around and whispered, "Just now, the father-in-law, Mu Wengan, came to me and forced me to send someone to Nanjing to assassinate Empress Nangong. That noble Mu is so mad that he wants to take over the throne of the Six Concubines."
"Then why did Mu Wengan find you again?" Zheng Xian asked.
Cai Mao sighed. "It's because I'm a veteran official from the previous dynasty, and I was implicated in the incident with the retired emperor. If it weren't for Mu Wengan, I would have been banished from the capital long ago. So Mu Wengan used this as a threat, asking me to find an assassin to kill Empress Nangong in Nanjing. It was because Concubine Mu was afraid that Empress Nangong would threaten her position as one of the six concubines."
Cai Mao quickly added, "Although I am an old minister, I am not on the side of the retired emperor. I admire the current emperor. Therefore, since this matter is of great importance and your majesty is not in the capital, I have no choice but to come to you, Lord Zheng. Lord Zheng, please quickly send officials from the Tiger Court to the Renming Hall to protect the empress and the young prince. It would be dangerous if we delay."

Cai Mao saw a person walk out from behind the screen, and then he looked again.
It was indeed His Majesty. He feigned shock and knelt hurriedly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Zhao Huan walked over and helped Cai Mao up. "Cai Mao, I usually don't pay much attention to you. I never thought you would be so loyal to me."
"Your Majesty!" Cai Mao was filled with gratitude.
"Don't worry, I'm fully aware of what happened to Noble Mu. If you report this, I'll definitely reward you handsomely."
Cai Mao was overjoyed: "As long as the little prince and the queen are well, I will be content."
Another eunuch came to report, and this person was the eunuch who served Concubine Mu.
The young eunuch lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have discovered that Lady Mu has placed the poison in a box under her bed."
Zhao Huan took a deep breath and said, "Follow me back to the palace!"
