Outside the palace, Su Lanxin and Xinyue were anxiously searching for something around the palace. Li Ziyu also brought many of his trusted brothers to search. A large group of people were busy...

The group of people searched for a while but hadn't found it yet. Then Li Ziyu discovered that a flare arrow was fired behind the hall, which made everyone nervous.

At this moment, Su Lanxin discovered a figure sneaking towards the rockery in the corner, which made her a little confused, but as it looked very suspicious, she used the Wind-Breaking Cloud Steps to chase after it.

As soon as he got behind the young eunuch, he found that the young eunuch took out a fire lighter from his arms. The young eunuch also noticed Su Lanxin coming behind him.

At first, when he saw that she was a woman, he didn't take it seriously. But when he saw her attire and the knife behind her, he became a little panicked and was about to throw the tinder down with shaking hands.

Su Lanxin quickly raised her foot and kicked the fire lighter back. Seeing this, the young eunuch also reached out to grab it. Su Lanxin blocked his hand with one hand and grabbed the fire lighter with the other.

The intense burning sensation in her palm made her instinctively want to let it go, but reason made her hold the thing tightly in her hand, and then she kicked the little eunuch away.

After she put out the fire starter in her hand, she began to check. She looked around the stone but found nothing. She reached out and felt around on the ground until she finally found a rope for ignition. She pulled the rope out.

When she went out with the things, she saw Bai Qi also had one in his hand. On the other side, Li Ziyu and his men also found one. After a while, Xinyue also came over with one.

Li Ziyu came over and gasped when he saw what the people were holding. He asked them where they found the things and asked them to guard it. Then they walked towards the main hall.

At this time in the hall, Empress Xiao was arguing with the emperor in order to delay time. She recounted the emperor's indifference and exploitation over the years, and her hysterical voice echoed throughout the hall.

At this moment, her hair was disheveled and she had no manners at all. She was no longer the high and mighty queen of a country, but instead looked like a shrewd and resentful woman, which made people sigh.

Empress Xiao glared at the emperor and said, "Chu Xu, you are a despicable villain. When you found out that my brother was dealing with the Bai family, you acquiesced. How many shameful things have you asked my brother to do for you over the years?

You are not a wise ruler but want a good reputation. Do you think I don't know that you have been looking for the Bai family's Moon Shadow Guard all these years?

Unfortunately, most of the Moon Shadow Guards of the Bai family had died that year, and the few survivors had already gone into hiding.

You are a selfish villain, but you have concealed it well and no one has discovered it. You are afraid of the power of the Xiao family and my son.

So you supported the second brother and my son Da Lei. You were afraid of Chu Mo back then. Although the Shen family did not have a high status, it was a century-old family of scholars with many disciples. So you sent the young Chu Mo directly to the border.

Seeing my son gaining power, you wanted to call Chu Mo back and even took away his military power. No matter how low-key the Shen family was back then, you still feared them..."

Chu Xu looked at Empress Xiao as if he was looking at a dead person. "I think you are crazy. You are still thinking about biting me at this time."

Empress Xiao's eyes were filled with madness and she laughed loudly, "Chu Xu, let's die together tonight. If we mother and son can't survive, then everyone in this hall can't survive either.

Do you think I didn't think that Yu'er would fail? Of course I did, so I made preparations. Anyway, we have gained a lot by dragging so many people to be buried with us!"

The madness in Empress Xiao's eyes frightened everyone present, and Chu Xu's expression also turned ugly. "Evil woman, what did you do?"

Empress Xiao laughed and said, "You will know soon!"

Li Ziyu and Su Lanxin were standing side by side. They both had amazing hearing ability. They had heard a lot when they reached the palace door. Li Ziyu asked, "Is this what the Queen said?"

Empress Xiao looked up and saw what Su Lanxin was holding. She asked like crazy, "How did you find it? I was wondering why there was no movement for so long. It turns out you found it.

Chu Xu, you are really lucky to have escaped this! "Maybe this is fate, the fate of them and the Xiao family!

Chu Xu was also frightened when he saw what was in Su Lanxin's hand. Fortunately, nothing serious happened. He always knew that the royal family had always been like this, but he couldn't help but feel scared.

"Lord Li, how did you find this thing?"

Li Ziyu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it was my wife who discovered it."

Chu Xu looked at Su Lanxin, his intention to ask was obvious. Su Lanxin bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it was my guards and maids who followed in out of concern and saw someone moving strangely outside.

My husband and I came out to check because we were worried, but we didn't expect to find these things. We hope Your Majesty will forgive them for trespassing into the palace."

In fact, it was not they who discovered it, but the secret agents planted by Yunxiao Pavilion in the palace. They saw Xinyue and others coming in during the chaos. The secret agents did not know Xinyue but knew Weiyue and Bai Qi.

After finding an opportunity to tell Bai Qi and the other two about their discovery, the three of them ignored it because they were worried about Su Lanxin's safety. Xinyue and Bai Qi went out after dealing with their opponents, and then returned to tell Su Lanxin.

In order to avoid exposing the fact that she had planted spies in the palace, Su Lanxin could only say that she discovered it before the three people came in.

Chu Xu was already very tired tonight, so he didn't have the energy to find out how they found out. "They were just eager to protect their master. Not only did they not pass, they also made contributions and were rewarded."

Su Lanxin was relieved to see that the emperor did not pursue the crime of Bai Qi and his men for trespassing into the palace, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Chu Xu glanced at his embarrassed sons. During this period of time, he finally understood that the eldest son was capable and decisive. He had a certain prestige in the army and the highest reputation among the people.

The second brother went to his fiefdom, the third brother was ambitious and unscrupulous, and the fifth brother was not concerned about these things and respected his eldest brother.

The seventh brother seems to be close to the third brother, but that is only on the surface. He has been developing his own power in private and is constantly scheming.

Thinking of the young sixth son, Chu Xu sighed and finally said, "During the Emperor's birthday, the third son Chu Yu secretly led troops into the palace with the intention of treason, and was stripped of his status as a prince and demoted to a commoner.

The Queen was a bad parent and was stripped of her status as Queen on Wanshou Festival. She was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned in the cold palace, and no one was allowed to visit her. The commoner Chu Yu was temporarily detained and will be dealt with after his crimes are clarified.

All the people in the Third Prince's Mansion were taken into custody, as were all the officials and their families who were involved in this incident tonight. Except for Li Ziyu and his wife, all the people in the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion were also taken into custody.

Chu Mo, please compile a list of all the people who have made contributions tonight, including the maids and guards of the young lady of the Li family. As for the things buried here, have someone find them, and then interrogate the Queen's people to find out the origins of these things.

I was reluctant to use it on the battlefield, but it was almost used on the civil and military officials in the court. In addition, thoroughly investigate the Ministry of War. It is almost dawn. I will hold court early today and arrange for the women to leave the palace."

Li Ziyu suddenly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, my grandfather is old and has not been in charge of things for many years. He is not aware of what happened today. I hope Your Majesty will let my grandfather go this time."

Su Lanxin also knelt beside him to plead for the old marquis. Chu Yu looked at the young couple covered in blood. They had performed a great deed tonight. The old man of the Li family had not been in charge of affairs for many years, and he only had this one grandson who was promising.

If he had not been at the border all year round in order to defend Canglan Kingdom, his children would not have been left undisciplined, and eventually a bastard would have inherited the family business.

"Forget it. Considering that your grandfather is unaware and old, you and your wife have saved everyone in the hall from danger tonight. I will allow it!"

The two men kowtowed at the same time to express their gratitude. Su Qingyun saw that the two had made contributions tonight and the emperor had agreed to their requests. He suddenly felt that such a great contribution might be able to save the Su family's life!
