Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

The sudden voice made Gong Tan and Mu Yun feel suddenly depressed.

A chill murderous intent burst out from Gong Tan's body at the same time.

She held a long sword in her hand, with a cold light in her eyes.

As a strong man once recognized by Emperor Tianjing, Gong Tan's methods and abilities are equally strong.

Over the years, following Zhou Zheng's side, Gong Tan has rarely taken action.

But she still possesses the strength of a strong person in her bones.

With his eyes rolling, Gong Tan soon locked onto the huge pillar in front of him on the left.

She turned her body slightly, protecting Mu Yun behind her, and was cautious at the time.

Being able to freely enter and exit the depths of the imperial palace, Gong Tan believed that there were only two possibilities. One was that the other party was extremely powerful, powerful enough to dominate the world, and the other was that they were colluding with both internal and external forces.

If it is the first one, Gong Tan is not worried.

There are many strong men in the palace, and the imperial guards are fearless and brave. One order is enough to wipe out everything.

But if it is the second case, then things will be troublesome.

Not only will we not be able to take this guy down today, but even Mu Yun and Gong Tan may be in danger.

After all, if the other party dares to take action, he must have been fully prepared.

"Prime Minister, if it really comes to the point of no choice, you should leave first."

"I'll try to hold him back."

After taking a deep breath, Gong Tan's voice became much deeper.

The government is in turmoil now. If something happens to Mu Yun, the court will really be controlled by the aristocratic families.

As long as Mu Yun is still alive, no matter what changes happen in the court, there will at least be a glimmer of hope.

Mu Yun also noticed that something was wrong.

He did not hesitate or act coy at this time, but nodded seriously.

He is just a scholar. If there are really people colluding with him from inside and outside, Mu Yun will not be able to defeat him at all.

Keeping the green hills, you don’t have to worry about running out of firewood!

"Don't panic~"

Just when Gong Tan and Mu Yun had made preparations and plans for the worst, the voice appeared again.

But this time, the voice was much gentler.

At the same time, a dark shadow slowly emerged from behind the giant pillar.

This scene made Gong Tan completely nervous.

However, she did not draw out the sword in her hand, because she could clearly feel that the other party had no intention of killing her.

Otherwise, Gong Tan wouldn't even give him the chance to finish his words.

Ok?

When the figure appeared completely, Gong Tan and Mu Yun's expressions suddenly froze, and a sense of familiarity also came over them.

Yes, Gan Mo!

At this moment, they instantly recognized the person in front of them.

No wonder he could appear in the palace so easily!

"Gan Mo, where is His Majesty?!"

After a brief moment of surprise, Mu Yun quickly stepped forward, his face full of excitement.

Although Gong Tan did not speak, he looked a little anxious and was obviously waiting for Gan Mo's answer.

This time when going to the Great Xia Kingdom, Zhou Zheng traveled light, and went secretly with only Zhou Ping, Yun Yun, Gan Mo and a few others.

But now, only Gan Mo came back.

This made both Gong Tan and Mu Yun realize that something was wrong.

You know, Zhou Zheng clearly said at the beginning that he would only go to Daxia Kingdom for three months and would come back once he completed the mission.

But now, time has passed, and only Gan Mo has returned, which makes their uneasiness even more obvious.

"Your Majesty, I won't be back in the short term."

Gan Mo took a deep breath and quickly explained.

what? !

After hearing this, Gong Tan and Mu Yun looked at each other, and then both of them saw a look of disbelief in their eyes.

Mixed joys and sorrows.

The good news was that from these words they could tell that at least Zhou Zheng was safe now.

As long as Zhou Zheng is safe, everything else is not so important.

But on the other hand, it is worry!

What worries them is that the imperial court is in turmoil now, and it is difficult for the two of them alone to suppress it.

Only Zhou Zheng's appearance at this time can calm the restless court officials and make those aristocratic families wary.

Otherwise, over time, the world will be in chaos!

"Your Majesty, do you know what is happening in the court right now?"

Mu Yun sighed and asked quickly while looking at Gan Mo.

He knew very well that Gan Mo was Zhou Zheng's closest person and would never lie.

"Know something."

Gan Mo paused for a moment.

Zhou Zheng heard mostly about the current situation in the court from the northern border.

Even the King of Zhenbei in the northern border is not very clear about the current situation in the court.

Therefore, Gan Mo could only say that he understood a little bit.

"Then, that's troublesome."

When Mu Yun heard this, he was stunned, then quickly shook his head, his eyes full of worry.

It seemed that everything was just as he expected.

The changes in the entire court have been completely closed off, and no news from the outside world can be received.

"Now, the world is in chaos, and the aristocratic families are secretly joining forces and are about to erode and control the entire court."

"The ministers were in a panic and vowed to see His Majesty."

"If Your Majesty does not show up again, the morale of the court will be unstable and many ministers may rebel."

"Even once the noble families know that Your Majesty is no longer in the court, they are likely to take action in advance."

"At that time, it would be extremely difficult for Your Majesty to come back."

Mu Yun pointed out the key points in one breath.

And every word of this made Gan Mo sweat profusely.

How could he not be aware of the implications and risks behind these messages?

But the key point is that Gan Mo knows better that even if Zhou Zheng wants to come back now, it is impossible.

With Gan Mo's ability and skills, it took him a lot of effort to return from the northern border.

It almost got damaged in the process.

Throughout the journey to Beijing, there were countless powerful men lying in ambush and countless troops stationed. Anyone who did not obtain customs clearance documents would be unable to move forward!

"Your Majesty, where is it?!"

Seeing Gan Mo's panicked and evasive look, Mu Yun obviously noticed something unusual.

He forced himself to suppress the uneasiness in his heart and continued to ask questions.

"In the North."

"Your Majesty, you are currently in the northern border."

Gan Mo gritted his teeth and dared not hide anything.

The Land in the North?!

This surprised Mu Yun a little, but then he felt relieved.

It would certainly be dangerous in other places, but in the north, it is very safe.

Because the King of Zhenbei is in charge of the northern border.

King Zhenbei has 100,000 elite troops under his command!

With one order, it is not impossible for the army to march straight in.

This way, they have a greater chance and a better chance of winning.

"Your Majesty is far-sighted."

A smile also appeared on Gong Tan's face.

In her opinion, Zhou Zheng might have anticipated the problems he would encounter in the court, so he was recuperating in the northern border.

Just wait until the time is right and then take action.

"The Land in the North..."

"It's out of control..."

With a bitter smile, Gan Mo also hoped that the Northern Border would be as Gong Tan and Mu Yun wished, but he knew better than anyone that the situation in the Northern Border was even worse!
