"There are some things that we must not let him know. If we want to accomplish our mission, we still need Xiao Zhiyue's help."

"My lady, I understand."

Li Juanling touched her belly and said, "This child is mine and will be your support in the future. When things are done in the future, the position of chief eunuch will be yours, and your family will be blessed with prosperity for generations. You will be the glory of your family."

"Yes, I understand."

"Okay, go quickly."

A quarter of an hour later, Li Fu brought Xiao Zhiyue here.

The two looked at each other across the screen.

Li Fu wisely dismissed everyone in advance, leaving only Li Juanling and Xiao Zhiyue looking at each other.

"Your Highness." Li Juanling walked out first. She crossed the screen, walked towards Xiao Zhiyue with affectionate and tearful eyes, and then threw herself into his arms.

Xiao Zhiyue hugged the woman he had been thinking about for a long time and asked, "Are you okay?"

Li Juanling took his hand and placed it on her abdomen, "The baby and I are fine."

"That's good." Xiao Zhiyue hugged her, reluctant to let go. He missed her so much. If it weren't for his longing for her, he actually wouldn't even want to take the job of deputy governor.

He couldn't bear to think that she was isolated and helpless in the palace.

"When the baby is born and we secure our position, I will leave the palace with you."

"Are you serious?" He pushed the woman away, looked at her with surprise and asked.

Li Juanling nodded, "Well, you know, I have only one goal, which is to have absolute power. Once the Su family is destroyed and our child becomes the emperor, we can be free."

Xiao Zhiyue took a deep breath and said, "Actually, we can think of other ways to get what you want, but regicide is too dangerous."

"It is the Prince of Pingxi and his son who want to kill the king, not me."

"But you're also in danger. If the father and son turn against each other and want to kill the mother and keep the son..."

"So I need your help. Without you, my child and I will probably become someone else's meal."

"what do you want me to do?"

Li Juanling whispered in his ear, and Xiao Zhiyue nodded as he listened, "Okay, but will this really stop them from fighting each other?"

"Of course!" The woman said confidently, "King Pingxi is so strong-willed, how could he allow a eunuch's son to become emperor? A young emperor would have many accidents during his growth, and he would never let such an accident happen."

"Okay, I'll act according to the circumstances." Xiao Zhiyue promised.

The woman hugged his waist, stood on tiptoes, and raised her head, "Kiss me, I missed you so much."

Xiao Zhiyue was a little hesitant, this was in the imperial palace.

Li Juanling said: "Don't worry, the emperor has been deposed, he will only obey me."

"What method did you use?"

"A secret medicine that makes him unable to stop."

----

After Xiao Lusheng returned to the Prince’s Mansion.

Many court officials also came back with him and discussed matters in the main hall together with Rong Xun.

Opinions vary.

In the end, everyone's eyes were fixed on Xiao Lusheng and Rong Xun.

Rong Xun looked calm, looking at the dark clouds in the sky, and murmured, "The weather has changed."

Things have changed?

Everyone looked outside the main hall.

A gust of cold wind blew, and gradually, snowflakes fell from the sky.

Xiao Lusheng recalled what his father had said to him not long ago, "Son, you must believe that in your father's heart, you are the most beloved."

He is the one that the emperor loves the most in his father's heart.

But just now, anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was something wrong with Li Juanling.

"Father is being controlled by someone."

Xiao Lusheng sat in the main seat and said these words lightly, shocking the court officials.

"No wonder, I have long felt that something is wrong with the emperor."

"The emperor was in good health a few days ago. After not seeing him for a long time, he is so weak. Just now in Minghua Palace, the emperor was shaking as if he was sick."

"Concubine Li is too bold in front of the emperor. Could it be that Concubine Li is causing trouble?"

The whole main hall was filled with discussions and was very noisy.

Someone asked, "How can we rescue the emperor?"

Someone answered: "Looking at the emperor's expression, I'm afraid he doesn't want anyone to rescue him at all."

Everyone looked at Xiao Lusheng again.

Xiao Lusheng said: "Ministry of War, all generals, please check the barracks. If there are any suspicious people, please check them immediately!"

The Minister of War and the generals all stepped out and said, "We will do it immediately."

"Master Ding, and all the other gentlemen, things will not be peaceful these days. Everyone should be on high alert. It would be best if we can get more evidence of the crimes committed by the Prince of Pingxi."

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Xiao Lusheng stood up and said, "Everyone, please go back."

Everyone said goodbye.

Only Rongxun and Master Ding stayed.

Xiao Lusheng walked up to Master Ding and said, "Master."

Master Ding stroked his gray beard and said to Xiao Lusheng, "Prince, if the emperor refuses to come forward, have you ever thought about how to face it?"

Just as the ministers discussed just now, if the emperor is controlled by Concubine Li and is unwilling to leave Minghua Palace, it will be extremely disadvantageous to them.

Xiao Lusheng's eyes were sharp as he said to Master Ding, "A few days ago, my father's health showed signs of deterioration. He once told me that he loved me the most."

Master Ding frowned and thought for a moment, "The Emperor must have had a premonition at that time."

Xiao Lusheng nodded, "Yes, I had some premonitions at that time, and Lord Rong also felt that something was wrong, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon."

Rong Xun coughed a few times, stood up from his chair, and walked over. "No matter what the emperor's attitude is, in the end, the only way to win is by force."

"Force?" Imperial Tutor Ding quickly retorted, "No, the emperor is in the palace. Using force to enter the palace would be a rebellion! Even if you are the crown prince, it would not be legitimate."

"Even so, is there any other way?" Rong Xun asked.

Master Ding shook his sleeves and said, "I have long known that the King of Pingxi has evil ambitions. I never thought that a little girl would disrupt the government!"

Not to mention Master Ding, even Rong Xun, Xiao Lusheng and Su Yun could not have imagined that a girl named Juan Ling could turn everything upside down.

"Behind the Crown Prince are not only me, Rong Xun, but also you, Grand Tutor Ding, the Minister of the Chancellery, the Grand Secretary, tens of millions of soldiers, and the common people!"

"If there is even a slight mistake, the world will not just change."

They will all pay with their lives.

Master Ding frowned, "But, we cannot ignore the emperor's safety and live in the imperial city as a rebel."

As he spoke, Master Ding shuddered.

Seeing this, Rong Xun had no choice but to stay away from him.

"Don't worry, Master. Tomorrow, I will go and ask to see the Emperor first, and then I will talk to him after I see him."

"it is good."

Tutor Ding walked away with his hands behind his back.

Su Yun walked out from the inner hall and said, "My husband, I made a few pills. You can give them to your father to try first and see if they can cure his drug addiction."

Xiao Lusheng nodded.

Su Yun continued: "It would be great if we could get some mutton soup."

"Li Juanling is too cunning. There is not a drop left. Even Xiu Yi can't get it. And now, it's even more impossible." Today they almost fell out!
