The emperor's face was heavy, and he felt that every word Zhao Yunzhu said made sense.
If the virtuous king had not had such thoughts, why would he suddenly bring up the matter of the deposed crown prince and the Zhao family?
The emperor gritted his teeth and slammed his fist on the desk, knocking all the memorials on the desk flying away.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I understand. The situation in Chang'an is unstable right now. Sister-in-law, please don't go out these days."
Seeing that the emperor had taken the bait, Zhao Yunzhu nodded slightly and said goodbye.
As soon as she left the palace, she ordered someone to secretly deliver a letter to Prince Xian's palace.
The emperor has already believed what she said and will probably take action in the next few days.
Zhao Yunzhu took a carriage back to Prince An's Mansion.
But she was not idle either. She ordered people to dress up as guards of Prince Xian's mansion and attack the Liu family overnight. In Chang'an City, at the foot of the emperor's feet, such a big incident happened. Within half an hour, the officials came to investigate.
Following the trail of the group of men in black, we arrived directly at Prince Xian’s mansion.
Princess Xian brought people to stop the officials outside the door, even though the officials came only to search for the traces of a group of bandits of unknown origin.
But no matter how the officers tried to persuade her, Princess Xian refused to let them in to search.
After all, there are people and weapons who want to rebel hidden in the mansion.
The atmosphere was deadlocked for a while. The emperor was awakened in the middle of the night and remembered what Zhao Yunzhu had mentioned to him when she entered the palace today.
He immediately led his men out of the palace.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. Zhao Yunzhu did not go to bed. She sat by the window, looking towards the door from time to time.
She was waiting for the letter from outside.
Linglong stayed with her young lady to guard the place.
When the virtuous prince learned in the prison that the emperor had been taken to the palace overnight, he was killed.
He thought to himself that something was wrong, and immediately ordered someone to open the prison door. He then rushed out of the Dali Temple prison with a long sword in his hand.
The emperor was too confident. He didn't know that even if the virtuous king had lost his power in Chang'an, the group of dead servants he secretly raised were still extremely loyal to him, and there were also many court officials who were secretly the virtuous king's men.
When the virtuous king rushed back to his palace with a bloody sword in his hand.
The emperor had just gotten off the carriage.
He had never seen the wise king with such murderous intent on his face, and a chill ran down his spine.
"Is the virtuous king planning a rebellion?"
The emperor said in a cold voice, but there was an inexplicable tremor in his tone.
The wise king sneered, raised the bloody sword in his hand high, and the sword tip, which gleamed coldly in the moonlight, was pointing straight towards the emperor.
"Isn't this forced by your majesty?"
When Song Shumin saw the virtuous king return, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had never seen such a scene before.
She now understood one thing: she and the wise king were now in the same boat.
If the virtuous king becomes successful, then she will be the queen.
If the wise king was defeated, she would probably lose her life as well.
She no longer had any way to retreat, and the only thing she had was to move forward.
Now that she saw the virtuous king return, she consciously retreated back into the palace.
The virtuous king was forced to rebel by the emperor this time.
If the emperor discovered the secret in Prince Xian's mansion, he would also be dead.
It would be best if the result is like this now.
"Today, fight for me with your lives. I will never forget your kindness."
Most of the people who follow the wise king are those who have followed him on the battlefield.
Without waiting for the emperor to say anything, the wise king's men had already started moving.
In Prince An's Mansion, Zhao Yunzhu had already ordered people to lock all the doors in the Mansion.
Aunt Hua rushed in from outside, "Miss, the virtuous king has rebelled!"
Zhao Yunzhu nodded slightly. She had already anticipated this result.
She ordered the servants to stay in their rooms and not come out.
She took her people to the gate of Prince An's Mansion.
The gate of the palace was closed, so she asked someone to bring a long ladder and climbed up the wall with Linglong's help.
The sky on the east side of Chang'an City was filled with flames, and sounds of fighting and wailing could be heard from time to time.
The Xianwang Mansion and the Tong'anwang Mansion were originally not far apart.
It seems that the situation is extremely serious.
Zhao Yunzhu slowly climbed down the ladder and ordered the guards to go out and attack secretly. The result she wanted was that both the emperor and the wise king would suffer losses.
The guards ordered to do this were all the death squads that King An had left for her.
After arranging everything, she went to the flower hall to wait.
After the maid brought tea and cakes, Zhao Yunzhu asked all the unimportant people to leave first.
In just an hour, the guard came to reply.
The wise king planned a rebellion and had made preparations in advance.
But the emperor did not expect that the virtuous king could come out of prison.
The emperor was not prepared at all, but the wise king was well prepared.
As a result, the virtuous king seriously injured the emperor, and the emperor's life was hanging by a thread. But to everyone's surprise, a group of people came and went after the virtuous king.
In the end, the virtuous king was seriously injured by the man in black, and the seriously injured virtuous king was captured and brought to justice.
The emperor was carried back to the palace, and a group of imperial doctors were urgently summoned back to the palace.
Until the next day, the officials stayed in the Yangxin Palace for a long time without seeing the emperor coming.
Right now, there is not even a suitable person to preside over the court.
Someone secretly suggested that in the current situation, it would be better to let Prime Minister Liu from the prison come out as a scapegoat and make meritorious deeds.
Someone is obstructing.
When the two forces were arguing, news suddenly came from the prison that Prime Minister Liu had hanged himself in fear of punishment.
This news caused an uproar in the court.
When everyone was at a loss, the news that the emperor was seriously ill became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The situation in the court spread to the palace, and the people in the city were in panic.
Zhao Yunzhu sat at home, listening to the tense situation outside. She asked someone to spread the news of the victory in the border battle.
This has given the unstable situation a stabilizing trend.
On the day Du Ming'an led his army back to Chang'an, the news of the emperor's death spread.
In fact, the emperor had already gone there two days ago, but in order to stabilize the situation, the palace suppressed the news.
Right now, the court is controlled by Concubine Lan, who is pregnant.
The Lan family had long lost its power, and Concubine Lan joined forces with General Song, who was the head of the military commanders in the court.
In Prince An's Mansion.
Zhao Yunzhu was entertaining Du Mingan, who had disguised himself and entered the city in advance, in the flower hall.
She had sent all the servants in front and behind the yard away early.
The only people serving her now were Nanny Hua and her personal maid Linglong.
"Mr. Du, what are your plans now?"
Zhao Yunzhu poured him a cup of tea herself. "The baby in Noble Concubine Lan's belly is not the emperor's, but hers and General Song from General Song's mansion. Besides, we don't even know whether the baby in Noble Concubine Lan's belly is a boy or a girl."
"What's going on in Concubine Yun's mind?"
Du Mingan looked steadily at the tea in the cup in front of him and asked straight to the point.
Zhao Yunzhu didn't intend to hide it from him. "Now that my prince has taken that throne, it's only right and proper. Naturally, it's time to return it to its rightful owner."
