In the following days, Ye Jinyun kept a close eye on any developments in the previous dynasty.
But for several days, no news was heard. Ye Jinyun felt that the matter might not be serious as Mo Qiyuan said, so he gradually put his mind at ease.
That day, after dinner, Ye Jinyun held her son in her arms and played with him in the house with Yu Wan'er.
"Lin'er, this is A, this is J, this is Q..."
Ye Jinyun was holding the playing cards they had made earlier and was placing them one by one in front of her son.
All the palace maids in the room had dark faces.
Yu Wan'er couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle:
"Sister Ye, why are you teaching Lin'er this? He doesn't know it."
Ye Jinyun waved his hand. "It doesn't matter whether he knows me or not. What matters is attracting my attention. That way, he won't need someone to carry him around to look at new things when he has nothing to do."
Yu Wan'er: Well, it turns out it was just a lazy idea of her godson's old mother.
So he accompanied Ye Jinyun and teased him with playing cards.
At this time, in the imperial study
The commander of the palace guards came hurriedly to report:
"Your Majesty, Prince An is leading his troops to force their way through the west palace gate."
Mo Qiyuan curled the corners of his mouth. It’s finally here.
"Okay, let's follow the previous plan. We'll resist for a while, then pretend to be defeated, let them in, and then proceed according to the plan."
"Yes, I will obey your orders."
These movements in the palace naturally could not escape the attention of those who were interested.
The man had already communicated with Prince An about the plan to force the emperor to abdicate, and had been waiting and watching in a corner not far from the palace gate.
After seeing that Prince An had led his men into the west palace gate, he immediately went to report to his master.
"Master, Prince An has led his troops to breach the west palace gate."
In the palace, the woman was still trimming her nails. When she heard this, she couldn't help but be surprised:
"So fast? Wasn't he scheduled to start the attack at midnight? How come he broke through in just two quarters of an hour?"
The man said:
"It's true that the attack began at midnight, but it only took two quarters of an hour. The guards at the palace gate were no match for them. They were completely wiped out in a few short moments."
The woman frowned. She always felt that something was wrong. She knew how many men Prince An had. According to his military strength, it would take at least half an hour to break through the weakest guarded west palace gate. How come it only took two quarters of an hour to break through?
"You just saw how many guards at the west palace gate died. Do you know?"
"Probably, about a hundred or eighty people."
One hundred and eighty people?
The woman felt something was even more wrong.
According to her people's secret observations and understanding during the past few years of lurking in the palace, the guards guarding the west palace gate are in teams of thirty people. There are a total of ten teams of guards guarding at the same time, and the shifts are changed every hour. Even when the shifts are changing, the guards are not so strict. There should be at least five or six teams of guards guarding the outer palace gate. How come only one hundred and eighty people died?
"No, there's something wrong with this number. Prince An must have fallen into a trap!"
After the woman figured this out, she immediately came to a conclusion.
Then the west palace gate was breached in just two quarters of an hour, which means that Mo Qiyuan had prepared for it and did it on purpose.
This probably means that Prince An and the King's plan had already been exposed under his nose. He must have deliberately brought Prince An into the palace to catch him in one fell swoop.
But, knowing that this was a conspiracy, why did he choose to let Lin Qingfeng lead the troops? Wouldn't this make his troops in the capital insufficient? Why did he do this?
The woman was puzzled, she always felt that she had overlooked something.
But since Mo Qiyuan has seen through the intentions of Prince An and Beirong, she can no longer stay in the Da Qi Palace. Mo Qiyuan can find the connection between Prince An and Beirong, so he will discover her sooner or later. She has to retreat immediately.
"Quickly notify our people. While Prince An is charging into the palace, we need to evacuate immediately. You take your men to the side gate to meet them. Caiyu and I will be here shortly."
The man was puzzled. "Master, why don't you evacuate with us now? What else are you going to do?"
The woman smiled grimly.
"I've been lurking for so many years, how can I return in failure? I have to do something to give an explanation to the king."
Then he whispered something into the man's ear, and the man suddenly understood what he had said, and then he prepared as he had instructed.
At this time, in the Qingyue Palace
Yu Wan'er had already said goodbye to Ye Jinyun and went back to her room to rest.
As soon as she left, Yin Zhu came to Ye Jinyun with a bowl of freshly boiled donkey-hide gelatin.
"My Lady, this is the donkey-hide gelatin I just made. Please take some before you go to sleep."
Ye Jinyun nodded. Since she officially took over the seal of the queen, she had to handle all the affairs of the harem, and she also had to breastfeed the baby every day, so she was extremely busy.
Especially in the past few days, she began to feel a little lack of energy and blood. It happened that Bai Ruoli had given her a lot of top-quality donkey-hide gelatin before, so she asked Yin Zhu to stew it to replenish her energy and blood.
Ye Jinyun picked up the bowl of donkey-hide gelatin and just took a sip when she heard a sharp female voice on the road outside Qingyue Palace:
"Oh no! Oh no! Prince An is rebelling and has entered the palace! Someone come and rescue the emperor!"
Ye Jinyun had excellent hearing, and it was very quiet outside Qingyue Palace. In this silent night, the voice clearly reached Ye Jinyun's ears.
In an instant, Ye Jinyun felt a chill in his heart. He asked Qing'er and Yinzhu to look after the child and ran out in a hurry.
At this time, a palace maid ran to the outside of Qingyue Palace. Seeing Ye Jinyun coming out, her eyes immediately lit up and she continued to shout:
