In fact, Yuan Ziying did not expect the palace change to come so quickly.

She expected that after Gong Liancheng was poisoned and Lu Mingxuan couldn't see her, he would be furious, and then he would go out of the city to mobilize troops and attack the imperial city without stopping.

But she didn't expect him to mobilize his troops so quickly, nor did she expect that he would dare to attack the city with less than 10,000 troops.

Although the combat effectiveness of the imperial guards in the palace was not as good as that of the battle-hardened soldiers, Hei Jiajia was in a hurry and was not prepared, while the imperial guards had archers ready and occupied the best defensive and attack positions.

Even if Lu Mingxuan had a chance to win, he would definitely win miserably.

Yuan Ziying stood alone in front of the window, meditating quietly.

Probably because the soldiers and horses had not yet invaded, and rebellion was launched outside the palace, the East Palace was still calm.

The prince on the bed woke up, unable to move but able to speak.

"What's going on?"

Yuan Ziying turned to look at him, then walked to the bed and smiled faintly: "His Royal Highness, are you awake? You were unconscious due to the poison. I gave you injections to control the spread and erosion of the toxin in your body, but I haven't found a solution to the toxin yet. The silver needle can’t be taken out yet.”

The prince, who had been tortured by toxins for four consecutive nights, did not look very good and his hall looked dim. Now he was lying on the bed, looking extremely pale and weak.

He looked at Yuan Ziying, and there was a hint of deepness in his eyes: "So you want to lie like this all the time?"

Yuan Ziying frowned slightly, with deep worry on her face.

Seeing her expression, Lu Mingyu narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yuan Ziying said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was poisoned by witchcraft. The Queen sealed the palace and found no results in the harem. She suspected that it was His Highness Prince Duan. However, the general and the Crown Prince were poisoned by the same poison. Prince Duan could not find him. When the doctor arrives, he has already led troops to launch a palace coup."

Her words left her completely alone, like an innocent person who was completely isolated from foreign affairs. However, Lu Mingyu was obviously not that easy to fool. He raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Miss Yuan is the initiator, right?"

Yuan Ziying was startled, then looked at him in surprise: "Why did His Highness the Crown Prince say this?"

"Before you came to treat my father, the palace was calm and everything was fine. But since you entered the palace, the situation suddenly took a shocking turn." The prince's eyes were cold, and he looked at Yuan Ziying with a look that seemed sharp. Like a sword, "Lu Mingxuan himself may not have thought that he would be played with by a little girl."

Yuan Ziying frowned: "I don't understand what His Highness the Crown Prince is saying at all. The reason for treating the Emperor is because His Highness Duan Wang issued a notice saying who can cure the Emperor's disease——"

"You don't have to explain so much." The prince interrupted her forcefully, his tone and eyes full of doubts, "Are there really such coincidences in the world? Since you arrived in the imperial city, General Gong was poisoned, the prince was also poisoned, and the queen mother was poisoned. You played all around, and Prince Duan was even forced to launch a palace coup. Miss Yuan, are you really just a doctor? "

Yuan Ziying looked at him without saying a word.

As expected of the emperor's hand-picked prince, he had been poisoned for so many days and was tortured almost to the point of unconsciousness, yet he could see through the culprit at a glance.

If he successfully ascends the throne, Beiliang should not be in chaos for long.

But it doesn't matter. After tonight's palace change, Beiliang will definitely be severely damaged. Even if he can finally sit on the throne, it will take a long time to restore the national strength as before.

"His Royal Highness, you have wronged me." Yuan Ziying pursed her lips and shook her head innocently, "I am just a little doctor who treats diseases. How can I have such extraordinary abilities that I can play tricks on the Queen?"

Lu Mingyu was unmoved by her words and looked at her coldly: "What exactly do you want to do?"

From the first day she entered the palace to see her father, Lu Mingyu felt that she was not an ordinary doctor.

Thinking about it now, she was afraid that Lu Mingxuan would be kept in the dark.

Yuan Ziying denied it, since he had no evidence anyway.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" A guard came over in a hurry and reported, "His Royal Highness Prince Duan led his troops and horses to attack the east gate——"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is weak, please don't bother him with these things anymore." Yuan Ziying frowned and looked at the guard who was speaking displeased, "If the Crown Prince's condition worsens, can you bear the consequences?"

"Come here!" Lu Mingyu was lying on the bed and ordered coldly, "Take down this witch."

Yuan Ziying's face changed slightly and she looked at him angrily: "Who is the witch? Your Highness, please don't accuse me unjustly——"

Suddenly, people inside and outside the hall fell to their knees on the ground.

The queen in phoenix robes walked in surrounded by palace people and asked coldly: "What's going on? Who does the prince want to capture?"

Yuan Ziying turned around and looked.

"Queen Mother, this witch is the initiator of all conspiracies!" Lu Mingyu said urgently, "Queen Mother quickly captured her and handed her over to the Department of Punishment for torture. They must find out who ordered her and what was the purpose of causing trouble. "

The queen's expression turned cold, and she turned her head, staring coldly at Yuan Ziying with a solemn look in her eyes: "Is all this your conspiracy?"

Yuan Ziying shook her head: "No."

The queen didn't seem to hear her denial and ordered sternly: "Someone, take her down."

It is better to kill by mistake than to place by mistake.

This is the consistent style of those in high positions of power.

"The Queen had better think twice." Yuan Ziying took a step back and smiled, her expression no longer as weak and harmless as before, "Take me down, your son will be hopeless."

The queen was stunned for a moment, and then became furious: "You bitch is indeed responsible for this! Who do you belong to, and what is the purpose of doing all this?"

Yuan Ziying was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "After the palace coup tonight, who do you think will win, Queen?"

The Queen's eyes were full of murderous intent, and she looked at Yuan Ziying as if she was looking at a dead person.

But Yuan Ziying was not worried at all.

She didn't even mind letting the Queen know the truth.

"The prince was not poisoned, but was poisoned by a Gu." Yuan Ziying smiled calmly, "The Gu was fed with my blood and can feel my breath."

"If I get hurt, it will run around and bite the host crazily, torturing people to death. If I die, it will die with me, and the venom released after death will cause the prince to die suddenly."

The Queen's face was ashen, and she gritted her teeth and said: "What on earth do you want to do, bitch?"
