The next morning, after Prince Ding led his men to leave Ruidu, Yun Ling also led the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion and the Tang family to South City.

Unexpectedly, not long after leaving the city, Guan Jiu said, "Madam, the direction of Fengjin Ferry is blocked."

The spy was seriously injured before and could not send back the news in time, but this time he clearly informed that all the elite troops dispatched by the Liu family were stationed in Fengjindu.

It is also a good position from which one can attack Ruidu or retreat in time.

Yun Ling made a prompt decision and said, "Let's go to Xiashan Temple."

Ruidou can never go back.

Once a fight breaks out, the imperial guards will only protect the imperial palace first, and if the Liu family's Zhongwu Army breaks into the imperial city, they will first attack these two families.

It would be better to settle them in a temple first, and then take the opportunity to move quietly away from the eyes and ears of others. This way, the Liu family will relax their vigilance.

When the group arrived at Xiashan Temple, the abbot was very happy.

"Donor Mo, you are here!"

Although the old lady of the Zhenxi Marquis's Mansion rarely comes, she is always generous.

Madam Mo smiled and said, "Yes, I came here before to pray for our son Aqiong to marry a good wife. Now that my wish has come true, I have to come to fulfill my wish."

She told the host that she would stay for three days, which made the host laugh out loud.

Their temple is not very popular this year and is in need of big customers to support it.

Just as I was thinking about how to entertain them well, I heard Madam Mo say again: "My relatives like quietness and don't like noise. You can just send the three meals to the entrance of the yard. There is no need for anyone to come. If there is anything, I will find you."

The host answered readily, "Okay, the chef has prepared some fresh vegetarian dishes these days, and it's just right for you to taste them."

When night fell, Yun Ling asked the secret guards to send people one by one to the farm thirty miles away.

It was delivered for two consecutive nights, and there was no trace at all.

Early on the third day, Butler Zhou and several servants returned to the mansion with the empty carriage.

Everything was arranged perfectly.

The manor that Yunling brought everyone to was a newly purchased one by her and it was registered in the name of one of Zhou Qiong's aides.

This village is located between several low hills, and is surrounded by fruit trees of many varieties.

The back mountain is connected to deep mountains and old forests, which are extremely suitable for warding off disasters. She had prepared for it long ago.

"We have to let you stay here. When this period is over, we will go back to Ruidu. However, the food and living conditions here may not be as good as those in Ruidu, so everyone should be mentally prepared."

She didn't know when they would come, so she only stored food on the farm, and the bedding and furniture were very simple. "

Madam Mo patted his hands gently and said, "Ling'er, this is good."

She knew this day would come sooner or later, and she was even ready to stay in the mansion and die rather than surrender. Unexpectedly, Ling'er wanted to bring her out with her, and even said that the family should be together, and she couldn't be left alone in the mansion as an elder.

The Tang family was a little confused.

Wu asked nervously, "Ling'er, will your grandfather be okay?"

Although Old Master Tang had long told her that after Ling'er married into the Marquis of Zhenxi Mansion, their Tang family would be on the same boat with Prince Ding, she never expected that this day would come so early.

At this time, all the members of her family had come out, and only Old Master Tang was left. She was really worried because he was still in the palace and couldn't come out.

Madam Mo comforted her in-laws: "Don't worry, Madam, the Imperial Concubine will definitely protect the old man."

Emperor Tai'an's headaches are getting worse, and he needs acupuncture from Mr. Tang. Fortunately, he is by your side, so his life should be safe.

unless......

Wu nodded, "I hope everything is fine."

Although she had not experienced any major storms, she knew that she could not hold Ling'er back.

The women of the Tang family began to clean up their rooms. Tang Yuanzhi approached Yun Ling and said, "Ling'er, although we are here, we cannot guarantee safety. I think the back mountain is dangerous, but it is also a way out. Why don't I take people to take a look?"

Yun Ling now had a new respect for this uncle and immediately said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, uncle."

Another half a month passed and Ruidu was in chaos.

The secret guards bring back a lot of news every day.

"Emperor Tai'an is seriously ill, and the imperial doctors are helpless..."

"The Zhongwu Army attacked Ruidu. During the battle with the imperial guards, they said that there was a concubine in the palace who was causing trouble for the country and they wanted to remove her from the emperor's side."

"The Northern Rong have launched a massive attack and have already broken through 20 cities. Prince Ding Xiao Cong is trapped in Luoma Pass and has been besieged by 100,000 Northern Rong troops for three days, and the Zhongwu Army has been slow to provide support..."

"The Xijue Imperial Court has also attacked Qingzhou..."

"Liu Boyi has gone to the palace..."

Yun Ling didn't know whether the news was true or not, so she didn't dare to act rashly. She could only wait patiently for Zhou Qiong to come back.

Another month later, news came from the palace that Emperor Tai'an had died suddenly, and Liu Boyi became the regent.

Twenty thousand Zhongwu soldiers entered Ruidu City directly and are now searching the city for the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion and the Tang family.

Yun Ling didn't know what was true or false, but she knew the situation was serious, and she racked her brains every day to think of various ways to escape.

......

The Royal Palace of Redu.

The second prince knelt in front of a coffin, in which lay Emperor Tai'an.

Liu Boyi stepped forward with his knife, pointing the blade at the second prince's neck.

The second prince looked at him in disbelief, "Uncle?"

Liu Boyi snorted immediately, "Don't call me uncle, you don't deserve it."

He stepped heavily on the second prince and said, "My son is dead, and none of Xiao Heng's children will survive."

The second prince looked horrified, "You, you said you would let me ascend the throne."

"You are a prince who killed his father, are you worthy? I tell you, your Xiao family's throne has come to an end!"

Seeing him about to swing his knife, Liu Baozhu behind him finally couldn't bear it and said, "Brother, wait a minute."

Liu Boyi turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"

Liu Baozhu was terrified.

She has always wanted to be the queen mother, not the eldest princess.

But she knew she couldn't win against her eldest brother, so she made up an excuse and said, "Wait a minute, the bitch in Yongshou Palace hasn't been found yet. We'll kill her after we find her. Let her hold the knife, so that we don't have to dirty my eldest brother's hands and name."

Liu Boyi looked at her in surprise, "You are quite smart."

Liu Baozhu was silent and didn't dare to speak.

Liu Boyi was very annoyed and kicked the second prince. "Then I'll keep you for a while."

After saying this, he walked closer to the coffin to look at the person lying inside, feeling very proud.

"Xiao Heng, Xiao Heng, you don't want to drink the wine, I helped you to the throne, and naturally I can pull you down, how about it, it's not pleasant to be poisoned by your own son, right? Don't worry, I will send all your sons down to accompany you. Your big son is probably waiting for you in the underworld, how about it, are you happy? Why don't you smile?"

As he said this, he couldn't help but use a knife to cut Emperor Tai'an's face.

Unexpectedly, the skin on my face slipped down.

He stretched out his hand and grabbed a human skin mask alive.

"No! This is not Xiao Heng!"

Liu Boyi grabbed the second prince by the neck and asked, "Where is Xiao Heng?"

The second prince was terrified. "I, I don't know. I listened to you and put something in his tea. I, I, I watched him drink it!"

"Useless things!"

Liu Boyi threw him to the ground fiercely and shouted, "Someone, find Xiao Heng for me!"

At this moment, the voice of Emperor Tai'an was heard from outside.

"Liu Boyi, are you looking for me?"
