Linghu Yao informed Xiao Sheng of the situation, and Xiao Sheng rushed over to check.
Emperor Hui's body has now become like that of Zhao Yunwan, who is imprisoned in the imperial jail.
Xiao Sheng issued an order to thoroughly investigate all palace servants who had visited the Taihe Hall today.
And immediately seal off all exits of the imperial city.
Then a message was sent to Li Ting via carrier pigeon to inform him of the matter.
Li Ting, Xu Ningyou, and Li Xingran are waiting for the results in Fan Zuan's house.
After receiving the message by carrier pigeon, the group felt that Zhao Yunwan's methods were truly remarkable.
Li Ting thought to himself, no wonder his whole family was wiped out before.
If Ruan Ruan hadn't informed him beforehand, even if he and Xu Ningyou had a million-strong army, they wouldn't have been able to stop such a vicious mind.
“Father, it’s probably useless for Xiao Sheng to seal the gates of the imperial city; he can’t stop Zhao Yunwan.”
"She has been empress for so many years, and the imperial city has been arrayed with formations by her and Lu Dacheng, so she must know many ways to enter and leave the imperial city."
"Ruanruan, what do we do now?"
“Pay attention to her two children. Even tigers don’t eat their cubs, so she wouldn’t abandon them.”
"In addition, intensify the search for Chu Ying's whereabouts."
"Also, let's find a reason to wipe out Prince Anle! Keeping him around is just asking for trouble."
"If Zhao Yunwan escapes to Jiangjin, then we'll be in trouble."
"I will immediately write a letter, while Bedori is still in the capital, and order him to lead troops to annihilate Prince Anle!"
"The evidence that Zhao Yunwan bought opium from Prince Anle can now be put to use."
Li Ting felt incredibly fortunate to have a daughter who could foresee the future.
Otherwise, the Li family would be doomed.
“Yes, cut off all of Zhao Yunwan’s paths, let’s see what trouble she can cause then.” Li Xingran was not afraid at all.
With her lucky charm status, Zhao Yunwan won't be able to keep up this momentum for long.
In the prison, Zhao Yunwan's body remained the same; she could eat and walk, but she couldn't speak.
Zhao Guangyun and Zhao Yunchen have been interrogated several times by the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice.
During his final interrogation, he was sentenced to have his entire family executed.
Zhao Guangyun begged loudly in prison, saying he wanted to see His Highness the Crown Prince.
But if only we had known then what we know now, why did we do it in the first place?
Zhao Yunshu, a person of extraordinary talent and beauty, was first regarded as an ominous person and sent away from the Zhao family.
Even after ascending to the position of Crown Princess, the Zhao family did not realize their mistake and instead helped Zhao Yunwan compete for the Emperor's favor.
They used various methods to suppress Zhao Yunshu.
Zhao Yunshu was poisoned by Zhao Yunwan, who gouged out her eyes and pulled out her tongue, while the Zhao family pretended not to know anything.
Xiao Sheng committed all sorts of evil deeds in Kunning Palace, living a muddled and aimless life, with no one from the Zhao family offering him any guidance.
Did he only remember he had an emperor grandson when he was about to die?
The Ministry of Justice has set the execution date for the Zhao family members in five days.
Notices were posted throughout the capital.
The Feng family was also imprisoned.
The Feng family used their positions to provide Zhao Yunchen with a great deal of cover.
Zhao Yunchen confessed without hesitation.
The Feng family's crimes were less serious than the Zhao family's.
He was sentenced to have his entire family executed, and his direct relatives within three generations were exiled to the southern frontier to cultivate wasteland. They were forbidden from ever entering the capital or participating in the imperial examinations.
The Feng family home was eerily silent.
He thought that by following the Empress and helping Zhao Yunchen, he could gain immense wealth and honor by winning on either side. Little did he know that he would end up eating his last meal.
I regret it now, but it's too late to undo what's done.
The day the Zhao family's home was raided was a rainy day.
Feng and her children waited quietly at home for the final outcome.
The children were confused and had no idea what had happened.
But that's how cruel the system is.
Feng didn't want to explain. Since he was about to die anyway, he might as well let them die in a daze!
Zhao Yunchen always sided with Zhao Guangyun and never took Xiao Sheng seriously.
Along with the Feng family, they never gave Xiao Sheng a second glance.
It can be said that Xiao Sheng grew up to be eight years old, and his aunt never called him "uncle" or "aunt".
There was no chance.
If no one had pointed it out to him, he wouldn't have known that the woman in front of him was his aunt.
The people of the capital have been talking about the Feng and Zhao families lately.
It's unbelievable that the once glorious Zhao family could fall so suddenly.
He's already reached the pinnacle of his position, yet he's still not satisfied.
So, people, contentment is the key to longevity!
Crown Prince Xiao Sheng's subordinates led the Flying Tiger Army to save the war situation in the Northwest and reclaimed the lost territory recovered by General Li. Now, in the hearts of the people, he is a qualified crown prince.
Based on his refusal to tolerate the Zhao family's behavior, he will surely become a wise and virtuous ruler in the future.
The people of Nanchen Kingdom are blessed.
Perhaps the Crown Prince could destroy the Great Yue Kingdom and conquer the Great Liang Kingdom!
Regarding the situation in the palace, Xiao Sheng issued an order to search all palaces for suspicious persons.
The imperial city gates were tightly closed.
Xiao Sheng dispatched a large number of troops to guard all the entrances to Kunning Palace, and went to the secret room in Zhao Yunwan's bedroom, where he waited all night.
Zhao Yunwan, however, never appeared.
The little palace maid, possessed by Zhao Yunwan's spirit, packed her valuables and went to the Imperial Garden after her "mistress" fell asleep at night.
The mechanism of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Formation of the Imperial City is located here.
Zhao Yunwan activated the mechanism and then slipped into the artificial hill.
An hour later, Zhao Yunwan stood on the earthen mound outside the capital, looking back at the capital.
"I will definitely come back. The next time I come back, it will be the time when I sit on the throne. Xiao Sheng, you just wait!" Zhao Yunwan roared at the capital.
