Dark clouds obscured the warm sun...

When Emperor Yonghui saw Xiao Xuetang welcoming the Princess of Southern Xinjiang, he was happy, but he did not expect that at this moment, urgent news came from Kyoto.

After hearing the urgent report, the blood drained out of Emperor Yonghui's face and he almost fainted, muttering to himself, "No, it's impossible."

The Qinglian Guards used a secret language when they replied. The empress didn't know what had happened yet. Seeing that Emperor Yonghui looked unhappy, Xiaoyi asked, "Your Majesty, is there something wrong in Kyoto?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Yonghui stood up and looked at her with a sharp gaze...

The one who sleeps beside him, his queen, is not his wife.

Queen Wang had been married to Emperor Yonghui for many years and knew that he had always been gentle. This was the first time that Emperor Yonghui looked at her with such a sharp and heart-wrenching gaze...

For a moment, even the well-mannered Queen Wang was frightened and withdrew her hand that was about to support Emperor Yonghui.

Not only Queen Wang, but even Wang Yueying who was standing beside her, vaguely sensed that a storm was about to come.

It's very disturbing.

The person who could break the deadlock at this time should be Lin Shaoshu, who knew the emperor's heart best. However, when Lin Shaoshu saw the Kyoto guards coming, he took a few steps back to avoid suspicion. Lin Shaojin, who loved to watch the fun, was such a shrewd person, but when he saw Lin Shaoshu's actions, he retreated faster than him.

Well, if anything happens to these princes one or two of them, we can’t rely on them at all!

Then the courtiers looked at each other for a moment, and then looked at the Regent...

Although this person doesn't like to meddle in other people's affairs on weekdays, he will still stand up and take charge when something really happens.

But Lin Xun had just received the phoenix flowers given by the little girl. He was very happy and didn't want to care about the unlucky things in Kyoto. He simply ignored the ministers' looks for help.

In such a delicate atmosphere, it was Zhang Gelao, the oldest official in the court, who finally spoke up: "Your Majesty, what's going on?"

It's only been two days on the trip to Jiufan Mountain. The Crown Prince and Prime Minister Wang are guarding Kyoto, so what could go wrong?

Besides, although the prince was a bit reckless on weekdays, Prime Minister Wang Xian was a very cautious person.

It’s only been two days since I left Beijing, what could possibly happen?

This was exactly what Zhang Ge Lao and others were thinking, but no one expected that the problem would be caused by Wang Xian!

As everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, Emperor Yonghui seemed to have finally recovered from his shock. He smiled and said, "Nothing happened. I just felt a little dizzy."

Seeing that Emperor Yonghui's expression was no longer so grim, Lord Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Jiang Yinghe, help me back to the bedroom..."

"Yes."

Jiang Yinghe hurried forward to support Emperor Yonghui, but unexpectedly, Emperor Yonghui suddenly thought of something and changed his mind, saying, "It's windy today, the Queen should go back and rest."

Emperor Yonghui glanced at Queen Wang. In the interweaving of light and shadow, Emperor Yonghui's expression at this moment looked obscure, but it made Queen Wang feel even more uneasy.

With a glance from Emperor Yonghui, Jiang Yinghe instantly understood the tacit understanding between the master and servant over the years, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, an assassin appeared in the palace last night. It is not safe here. Let us take you back to rest."

As he said this, he made a gesture to Queen Wang to invite her in.

"How dare you, you servant, touch me?"

Queen Wang was about to get angry when she suddenly saw Qinglian Guard Xia Yan and his men staring at her with cold eyes at the entrance of the forest...

The Qinglian Guards would not easily show up unless the emperor's life and death was at stake. Moreover, the one who appeared on the Phoenix Terrace was not Xia He, but his master Xia Yan!

Kyoto, what happened?

Or to be more precise, something happened to the prince...

"My lady..."

Wang Yueying was also panicking at this time. Seeing that the queen was pale and looked like she would faint at any time, she hurried forward to support her.

The queen grabbed Wang Yueying's arm tightly, like a drowning person grabbing the last straw, with such force that it seemed as if she wanted to crush Wang Yueying's hand, and said, "Go back to the palace first."

But the queen's face was so ugly at this time that Wang Yueying did not dare to cry out in pain and helped Queen Wang back to the bedroom.

Seeing Queen Wang leave, Jiang Yinghe smiled and said, "My lords and ladies, please go back to your respective residences first. There are assassins in the Jiufan Mountain, it is not safe. If you have nothing else to do in the mountain in the next two days, it is best not to go out. Otherwise, if you are regarded as an assassin, it will be a serious crime that will lead to the extermination of the entire nine clans."

Jiang Yinghe always had a good temper. Even though he looked smiling, he spoke in a stern voice at this moment. The words that were half warning and half threatening made everyone shudder and said, "We dare not."

In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire Jiufan Mountain became tense.

Most people were confused and had no idea what was going on. They only knew that the number of patrolling imperial guards had increased several times, and they thought that there really was an assassin in the palace.

However, old ministers with sharp minds like Zhang Ge Lao smelled an ominous scent.

I'm afraid this has something to do with the East Palace...

They had guessed a little about Emperor Yonghui's original intention of keeping the Eastern Palace in Kyoto, which was to test the Eastern Palace.

Now, I'm afraid that this attempt has gone terribly wrong!

Not long after Emperor Yonghui returned to his palace, he summoned Zhang Ge Lao and other old ministers whom he trusted to come over...

Of course, the Lin Shaoshu brothers also came with them!

When Lin Shaoshu came over, the first person he looked at was Lin Xun who was standing next to Emperor Yonghui, his eyes darkened slightly.

When the sudden change happened just now, the first person that Emperor Yonghui thought of was Lin Xun...

It is really unbelievable that Emperor Yonghui would trust a man who was an absolute threat to the throne more than his own son?

After everyone gathered, Emperor Yonghui looked exhausted, looked at the confused ministers, and finally said: "Just now, I received news that... the prince rebelled in Kyoto."

Hearing this, Zhang Ge Lao was dumbfounded and blurted out subconsciously: "Your Majesty, are you kidding?!"

The prince was lustful and weak in character. Zhang Ge Lao believed when he heard that the prince had caused a great disaster in Kyoto. But when he heard that the prince had rebelled, Zhang Ge Lao felt that it would be more reliable than someone telling him that the imperial horses in Kyoto had flown into the sky.

Emperor Yonghui's face was not as gloomy as before, but still very gloomy. He threw a bloody secret letter to Zhang Gelao and said, "Read it for yourselves."

……

"My lady, are you okay?"

At this time, the door of the Queen's bedroom was closed, blocking out the view from outside. The Queen finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her whole body seemed to collapse on the chair.

"Aunt, have a cup of tea. I have sent people to the front to inquire. We will soon know what happened in Kyoto..."

It was also the first time that Wang Yueying saw the usually calm queen so panicked. She felt a little uneasy, but she still poured a cup of tea for the queen to calm her down.

After drinking a cup of tea, the Queen's pale face looked better. She said in a gloomy voice, "This is the only way. Also, keep an eye on the Queen Mother. I always feel that there is something fishy about the incident at Jiufan Mountain this time..."
