Hot tea was poured on the back of her hand, Xian Yue exclaimed and hurried forward, but Chu Huanyan seemed to be unconscious, only staring closely at the person reporting the message in front of her.

"What did you say?"

"Your Majesty, the Emperor was attacked and fell off a cliff on his way back, and his current whereabouts are unknown." The secret guard who reported the news lowered his head tightly and repeated in a deep voice.

In an instant, Chu Huanyan felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. She was frozen in place for a while, unable to even ask questions.

When Xian Yue heard the news, her face suddenly changed with fright. She looked at Chu Huanyan worriedly, and then immediately asked the secret guard who reported the news to explain the matter more clearly.

After hearing the whole story, Chu Huanyan's expression did not soften at all, and Xianyue next to her was even more frightened when she heard the explosion on the cliff.

"So the emperor's... body has not been found, right?" Chu Huanyan confirmed, staring at the person in front of her, with a tremor in her voice that was hard to ignore.

"Yes." The secret guard nodded quickly.

Chu Huanyan took a deep breath.

Since no body has been found, it means that the person is probably still alive. Whether he has fled elsewhere and has not been found yet, or... the person who was assassinated has been caught, there is still hope!

"Empress, what should we do now?" Xian Yue looked at Chu Huanyan, with obvious panic in her expression.

The war was obviously over, and they Tianyi had won a great victory. Now they just had to wait for the emperor to come back, but they didn't expect that something happened again at this juncture.

Moreover, something happened to the emperor, what should we do?

"As long as Qin Li is here, we will definitely seize the time to search. What we have to do now... is to stay steady."

This news should spread soon, and the court will definitely be shaken by then. Although the war is over now, it has just ended. There is no guarantee that Danyue will not come back again. In any case, there is absolutely no danger in the imperial city. No chaos!

Chu Huanyan pursed her lips and looked at the secret guard who reported the news again, "You should leave temporarily. If no news about the emperor is returned after two days, then you can enter the palace and report again!"

"Mother, what's the content of the report?"

"Just say that Qin Li and the others have found the emperor, but the emperor is injured and needs to take a good rest. The return to the imperial city will be delayed." Chu Huanyan ordered in a deep voice.

The secret guard hesitated for a moment, "Mother, is this really feasible?"

"A dead horse is treated as a living horse. In short, until there is no definite news, no matter what method is used, the courtiers must be stabilized."

Once the court is in chaos, all kinds of government affairs will be affected. Even if someone wants to take this opportunity to cause trouble...even if they lie, even if it doesn't last long, they must be stabilized.

"Yes, I understand, my Majesty, don't worry!" The secret guard nodded in agreement.

After the secret guard left, Chu Huanyan stood up from the table with a pale face, but as soon as she stood up, she felt that her legs were weak, her body tilted, and she fell down again.

Fortunately, Xianyue helped her in time, "Miss..."

"I'm fine." Chu Huanyan took a deep breath, supported the table next to her, and stood up again.

"Miss, would you like me to help you take a rest?"

Needless to say, the relationship between the young lady and the emperor went without saying. Now that she suddenly heard the news, she was really afraid that the young lady wouldn't be able to bear it!

"There is no time to stop. I'm afraid it won't be long before some courtiers get the news and enter the palace. Before that, I want to see two people."

Half an hour later, Feng Hanyi and Liu Changhan appeared in the imperial study.

When hearing the news from Chu Huanyan, the expressions of both of them changed drastically, especially Feng Hanyi, who couldn't help but stumble in his steps.

"Mother, are you sure this news is correct? Is it possible..."

"The secret guard next to the emperor sent it in person, there will be no problem." Chu Huanyan interrupted Liu Changhan and looked at the two people in front of him.

"It must be Danyue, it must be!" Feng Hanyi felt a strong anger in his heart, "They must have suffered a loss at the hands of the emperor this time. On the surface, they pretended to agree to the peace treaty, but secretly they killed the emperor! It’s really shameless!”

Liu Changhan's face was also extremely ugly, but he didn't speak as eagerly as Feng Hanyi. He thought for a while and said to Chu Huanyan.

"My Lady, since the whereabouts of the Emperor have not been found yet, it is possible that he fled elsewhere after falling off the cliff. The Emperor's auspicious person and heavenly presence will definitely be able to avert danger. The most important thing now is to stabilize the court. At this time, no trouble must occur."

"Yes, this is also the purpose of letting you enter the palace." Chu Huanyan nodded, "Once the courtiers get the news, they will definitely enter the palace to find out whether the news is true or false. I will try my best to appease them. .At the same time, I hope you can assist me to ensure that government affairs are not affected."

"Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely do my best." Liu Changhan said quickly.

After seeing Liu Changhan agree, Chu Huanyan looked at Feng Hanyi again.

"Master Feng, I know that you are worried and angry, but you must not jump to any conclusions before this matter is fully understood."

"Does the empress think this matter has nothing to do with Dan Yue?" Feng Hanyi frowned.

Apart from Danyue, it was really hard for him to imagine who else would have a reason to attack the emperor at this juncture!

To murder the king of a country is not something that any bandit can do, it can be done by any gangster.

"I am just saying that this matter has not been clarified yet. Dan Yue is indeed suspicious, but at this juncture, if we do not have any evidence, then pointing everything to Dan Yue's head will do nothing but intensify the conflict. Useful. If it goes too far, it will give Danyue a reason to break the agreement, and the situation will not be good for us."

Chu Huanyan's words made Feng Hanyi finally calm down a little. He understood that Chu Huanyan was right. If Danyue started a war again at this time, Tianyi and their family would definitely suffer a big loss.

but……

"Empress, if it is really Dan Yue who did it, then even if we don't hold them accountable, I'm afraid they will be the first to cause trouble."

Chu Huanyan did not speak immediately, but lowered her eyes and thought quickly in her heart.

Xiao Jinzhi wrote to her in advance about his decision to open up the grain and grass trade. In addition, Dan Yue also withdrew his troops from Bei Mo, and everything seemed to be over, at least temporarily. She always felt that Huangfuling did not have enough reasons to attack Xiao Jinzhi at this time.

Is there any other inside story about this matter?

Danyue Imperial City.

At night, in the Regent's palace, Ling Qi hurriedly walked into the study and reported the news to Huangfu Mausoleum that Xiao Jinzhi had been assassinated and fell off a cliff, and his whereabouts were unknown...
