The candlelight flickered in the Qingxin hut, illuminating everyone's faces. The house was filled with an old smell, and the spider webs in the corners were faintly visible in the dim light.

Sikong Yanche glared, his eyes like two sharp arrows, and said majestically: "Alright, you fake idiot! Be restrained, now is not the time for you to make money from the national crisis! Stop bragging! Do something serious!"

He folded his hands over his chest, frowned, and looked serious, thinking to himself: It's already this late, and Shui Qinglian is still so unreliable, I hope he doesn't let anything ruin things.

When Shui Qinglian heard this, she immediately restrained her smile, a flattering look appeared on her face, and she laughed and said, "No, no! The most important thing is to do a good job on the surface, right? Hehe, let me make it clear first, this money is collected on the surface, but returned secretly! We will negotiate the price after the change of dynasty."

At this time, the wind outside the window blew gently, blowing the fallen leaves on the windowsill. As he spoke, he scratched his head and muttered to himself: I am doing this to make the plan more realistic. Sikong Yan is too serious.

There was a hint of cunning in his eyes. The warm candlelight danced on his face, adding some liveliness to the lighthearted banter.

The ministers couldn't help laughing when they saw the interaction between the two. Their faces were filled with relaxed smiles, as if they had forgotten their previous tension and worries. These little brats made them feel safer.

At this time, a breeze blew in from the half-open window, bringing a hint of coolness and blowing the curtains in the house, swaying gently. They thought to themselves: With the advice of these young people, perhaps the current situation can really be changed.

But Kong Yan smiled and said, "The emperor will definitely try Xiao Lan'er tomorrow. We must protect her well! We can use her to testify against Hao Gu and get rid of her."

His face was full of confidence and his eyes were firm, as if everything was under his control. Under the candlelight, his smile was particularly bright. He was thinking silently in his heart: This step is crucial and there must be no mistakes.

"Your Highness, what you said makes sense. We will definitely follow your instructions. Cut off his left and right arms, and I believe that a change of dynasty is just around the corner!" The ministers said one after another. They nodded one by one, their faces full of loyalty and determination. In their hearts, they all had expectations for the future and a little trepidation.

"All the elders should go back now. Do not come to pay your respects without the Emperor's order in the future, so as not to arouse suspicion!"

Sikong Yan bowed to his ministers. His movements were elegant and solemn, with a gentle smile on his face. But he was worried in his heart: he must not let the news leak out and let the plan fail.

"Your Highness is right! But how can we contact them?" the ministers asked anxiously. Their faces were full of worry and their eyes were filled with uneasiness. They were in a state of panic and didn't know what to do next.

Xiao Sizhe patted the coffin and said with a smile: "Brother Fox, Sister Guagua, come out!"

Two little cuties jumped out of the coffin, a white fox and a white crow. The little fox raised its two feet to congratulate, its eyes narrowed into slits, and said happily: "Hello everyone! I am little fox brother!" It looked so cute that people couldn't help but want to hug it.

Guaguamei flew to Xiaosi's head proudly, opened her mouth and said, "Hello, everyone, I'm Guaguamei!" It flapped its wings, looking very proud.

All the ministers were amazed. Some opened their mouths wide and their eyes wide open, as if they had seen something incredible. Some ministers couldn't help but stretch out their hands to touch the two cute little guys. Others laughed so hard that they couldn't close their mouths, saying, "This is really magical!"

The room was filled with laughter and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy. Everyone felt that the appearance of the two little guys brought a glimmer of relaxation and hope to the tense situation.

Sikong Yan smiled and said, "Don't be alarmed, everyone. This little fox brother and little quack will be our messengers from now on. If there is any news, let them pass it on."

All the ministers nodded, with expressions of surprise on their faces.

Xiao Sizhe continued, "Everyone, remember, when you see Brother Fox and Sister Guagua, you know something important is going to happen!"

Shui Qinglian joked and said with a smile: "These two little guys, don't pass the wrong message!" At this time, a moth flew towards the candlelight, causing the flame to shake a few times.

Sikong Yan rolled his eyes at him and said, "You are the one who talks too much. Just make sure your crappy medicine doesn't fail at the critical moment!" He thought to himself: This guy only knows how to talk nonsense. I really hope his medicine can come in handy.

Shui Qinglian replied unconvincedly: "Humph, there is absolutely no problem with my medicine. It's you who should give instructions in the wrong direction!" She muttered to herself: How could the medicine I carefully developed not work? It's you who should give instructions blindly.

Sikong Yan snorted: "Just wait and see who is more reliable!"

The two of them argued back and forth, neither of them giving in, which made the ministers laugh again. At this time, the breeze blew again, carrying the laughter of the crowd away.

At this time, an old minister stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, you must be cautious about this matter!"

Sikong Yan nodded and said, "Don't worry, old man. We will definitely succeed!"

The ministers left one after another, looking forward to the coming of that day with hope.

The six maids and seven servant girls followed the emperor and his men quietly. They all looked panicked, walked hurriedly, and did not dare to look back. They were afraid that if the emperor noticed them and ordered them to be buried with him, they would be doomed! Along the way, the sun was blocked by dark clouds, and the sky was so gloomy that it was depressing.

Yu Zhu and the others returned to the side courtyard of Meng'anting. Six or seven of them looked at each other, with frightened expressions on their faces.

"Oh! I almost died!" Yu Zhu said, patting her chest with her hands, her face full of fear. Her eyes were wide open, and her heart was still beating wildly. The flowers and plants in the yard looked listless, as if they also felt the tense atmosphere.

Lu Wan also patted her chest and said with lingering fear: "If I had known, I wouldn't have gone!" Her brows were tightly furrowed, and her face was full of regret, as if she was blaming herself for her original decision.

Ling Qiao continued, "Yes, yes, I almost went to die." Her voice was trembling, and her body was shaking unconsciously. Thinking of the scene just now, she was still scared. At this time, the wind in the side yard was getting stronger, blowing the windows "clanging".

Hong Mengzha said: "We only pestered him when he was alive, but now that he has passed away, there is no need to pester him anymore." There was a hint of indifference and selfishness on her face, her eyes were wandering, and she did not dare to look other people in the eye.
