In the Phoenix Forest, Mu Xingyun's face changed slightly when he heard Xiao Xuetang's words. The next moment, he looked at Xiao Xuetang and sneered, "Xiao Xuetang, you are so arrogant. I want to hear how you can turn defeat into victory."

Xiao Xuetang only said four words, and Mu Xingyun's face changed drastically -

"Assassin, secret letter."

The assassin refers to the assassin who sneaked into the Yonghui Emperor's bedroom last night and dropped a palace plaque;

That was a palace card of the Eastern Palace. In the whole plan of forcing the Eastern Palace to rebel, the palace card would be a fuse.

The secret letter refers to the secret letter handed over to Emperor Yonghui by the Qinglian Guard today, which stated that the Crown Prince colluded with the garrison to rebel!

"I remember that the children of the Wang family in Taiyuan are good at copying handwriting. You secretly colluded with the Wang family. In addition to letting them lurk around the prince as spies, you also took a fancy to their ability to imitate people's handwriting..."

"It's just that you have made a mistake. When the Wang family imitates handwriting, they have a special habit. If I go before His Majesty now, I will definitely be able to expose it..."

As he was speaking, Xiao Xuetang was about to walk towards the Qinzheng Palace, but Mu Xingyun's expression turned ferocious and he grabbed Xiao Xuetang's wrist.

Xiao Xuetang was not surprised but laughed, saying, "Oh, so the secret letter was indeed forged."

Mu Xingyun finally realized why Xiao Xuetang was so patient today, and angrily said, "Xiao Xuetang, how dare you cheat me!"

He looked at Xiao Xuetang, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and the next moment he suddenly felt his wrist go numb, and he quickly let go of Xiao Xuetang's wrist.

Xiao Xuetang shook her right hand which was pinched by Mu Xingyun, and the silver needle in her other hand flashed a cold light in the sunlight.

Seeing Mu Xingyun's ugly face, Xiao Xuetang sneered and said, "What's wrong with deceiving you? Mu Xingyun, do you think that Lin Xun and I will really sit and wait for death when we come to Jiufan Mountain this time?"

Mu Xingyun looked at Xiao Xuetang with a gloomy face. At this time, he also realized that although Xiao Xuetang and Lin Xun seemed to have been busy with their engagement these days, he had actually been wary of them for a long time.

When did it start...

"Last night's assassin!"

Mu Xingyun suddenly thought of something and his eyelids jumped.

……

Almost at the same time, in the Qinzheng Hall...

When Lin Shaoshu proposed to go to Kyoto in place of Emperor Yonghui, the atmosphere suddenly became subtle!

Emperor Yonghui suddenly looked at Lin Shaoshu, with a light in his eyes that Lin Shaoshu couldn't understand. He asked, "Does Prince Heng really want to take this risk for me?"

Lin Shaoshu met Emperor Yonghui's eyes and felt inexplicably uneasy, but then he thought that this was a good opportunity to show his loyalty to Emperor Yonghui...

He knelt on the ground and said, "Your Highness is willing to go through fire and water for me!"

Lin Shaojin, who was just there for show, couldn't bear to watch. Why didn't he think Lin Shaoshu was such a good actor before?

"good very good……"

Emperor Yonghui suddenly smiled and leaned back on the dragon throne.

Light and shadow shone in from the windows, and the entire Qinzheng Hall was filled with light and shadow. The expression on Huizong's face seemed to flicker. He said, "You are really my good sons!"

Huizong murmured to himself, seeming to be very pleased with Lin Shaoshu's behavior, but also seemed to have some other meaning.

At this moment, Lin Shaoshu felt a little confused...

According to his plan, everything should have been foolproof.

Last night, he arranged for an assassin to sneak into the Guanju Palace and search for the things left by Concubine Xie. At the same time, he dropped the East Palace badge, causing Emperor Yonghui to mistakenly believe that the assassin was sent by the East Palace, which made Emperor Yonghui suspicious.

Then, today and tomorrow, the secret guards will pass on the news of changes in Kyoto, and the content of the bloody secret letter will be that the prince and the regent are conspiring to rebel!

The assassin last night was fake, but it was true that the East Palace had rebellious intentions.

Even if Emperor Yonghui trusted Lin Xun, there should be a gap between them...

Emperor Yonghui was a timid and easily influenced person. Moreover, he was extremely terrified about the palace coup because of the eunuchs' rebellion and the Ganlu Incident.

With Emperor Yonghui at a loss, Lin Shaoshu took the opportunity to propose that he go to Kyoto to gather information and get the Imperial Army's military token...

Firstly, he could leave a good impression of filial piety in front of Emperor Yonghui. Secondly, and most importantly, he could get rid of the Eastern Palace and control the capital, killing two birds with one stone.

But Emperor Yonghui's reaction was different from what he expected.

When he was at the Phoenix Terrace, Emperor Yonghui was furious and punished the Empress, but after returning to the Diligent Administration Palace...

Many thoughts flashed through Lin Shaoshu's mind at once, and he suddenly realized something.

Before returning to the Qinzheng Hall, Lin Xun arrived a quarter of an hour earlier than them!

It was Lin Xun. What did he say in front of Emperor Yonghui?

Lin Shaoshu was confident that he and Mu Xingyun had discussed the entire plan. As for the rebellion in the Eastern Palace, there were some truths and some falsehoods. With Emperor Yonghui's character (IQ), he would not be able to see any clues.

The only trouble may come from Lin Xun...

Seeing Lin Shaoshu's expression of doubt and uncertainty, the Minister of Rites Zhu Zheng hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I think Prince Heng is not suitable..."

Zhang Gelao, who was standing by, twisted his beard and refuted Zhu Zheng: "Prince Heng is very filial to His Majesty, so how can it be inappropriate?"

Zhu Zheng was already scratching his head anxiously...

Everyone knows that the Eastern Palace and Prince Heng are at loggerheads. If Lin Shaoshu is really allowed to return to Kyoto, then even if the Crown Prince is fine, he will be completely finished.

Of course, this could not be said in front of Emperor Yonghui, so he changed the topic and said, "Your Majesty, I think if the situation in Kyoto really changes, His Royal Highness Prince Heng is also precious and should not take risks. Why not... let the Regent go?"

After Zhu Zheng finished speaking, the expressions of the people below became subtle, but Zhu Zheng didn't notice it at all, and felt that his idea was a good one.

"The Regent is a fair man and a skilled warrior. If the Crown Prince is framed by thieves, he will definitely find out the truth. If... there is really something wrong with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Regent can also kill the rebels immediately. It's the best of both worlds!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yonghui's expression relaxed a little, but Lin Shaojin, who was standing beside him, sensed a sense of crisis for some reason.

Originally, he had made up his mind to protect himself, but he couldn't watch Lin Xun fall into danger, so he finally said, "Father, I think that Kyoto is only half a day away from Jiufan Mountain, and it is not necessary for my uncle, Prince Heng, to go there in person. Wouldn't it be better to let the messenger from the Qinglian Guards find out the whole story and then make a decision?"

"This……"

Xia Yan, the Qinglian Guard, was about to speak when Emperor Yonghui said, "Let's put this matter aside for now. Prince Heng, I want to ask you something."

Lin Shaoshu had already begun to have doubts in his heart, worrying that the plan would be exposed, or that Lin Xun had used some trick again.

At this moment, Emperor Yonghui did not reprimand the crown prince, but called his name instead. Lin Shaoshu, who was already worried, suddenly felt a chill on his back. He stepped forward like a frightened bird and said, "Father, your son is here..."

Lin Shaoshu had just knelt in front of Emperor Yonghui when suddenly something fell heavily in front of him. He picked it up and saw that it was a token.

There is a capital letter "Three" written on it!

An assassin appeared in the palace last night. He was supposed to leave evidence of the Eastern Palace, but he ended up reaping the consequences...
