Seeing Pei Mo rushing over, Qin Zheng had a look of astonishment on his face, and hurriedly asked: "Aren't you in the prison in the palace to accompany the queen to interrogate the husband? Why did you suddenly run out!"

Pei Mo frowned, looked worried, and sighed: "I was a step late, the emperor has already confessed everything. I planned to speak to the queen and re-examine the poisoning case of the sixth prince, but the queen was so sad He coughed up blood and passed out."

"What did you say?!" Qin Zheng almost jumped three feet high in fright, and shouted, "My mother coughed up blood and fainted? Is it okay?" I didn't expect the situation to develop to such a serious level, and I always acted carelessly. She was also vaguely gloomy.

Pei Mo shook his head, "Send it back to the bedroom and arrange for the imperial doctor to take care of it, the specific situation is not clear yet."

Hearing this, Qin Zheng gritted his teeth, "If I can find out who is behind this series of poisonous schemes, I will definitely skin him! Stretch his tendons! Then chop it up and feed it to the dogs!"

Pei Mo was silent, as if he was in deep thought. Ning Qingcheng glanced at Qin Zheng, frowned and said, "Okay, what's the use of scolding fiercely? It's better to sit down quietly and listen to Pei Xiang's next move." What's the plan?"

Hearing this, Qin Zheng took a deep breath, calmed down his anger, and sat at the table with his skirts up, raised his head and asked Pei Mo, "The spies we sent out haven't come back yet, and now we don't have any news. What should I do if I see you, running around like a headless chicken?"

Pei Mo took a seat opposite Qin Zheng, looked at Qin Zheng with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice, "No, I still have one thing in my hand to stabilize the situation." That's all for now.

What a shrewd person Ning Qingcheng is, he immediately realized that Pei Mo and Qin Zheng wanted to discuss secret matters, and it was inconvenient for outsiders to be present in the room, so he put his sleeves up and covered his lips with a chuckle, and said with a smile: "I have talked so much You must be thirsty, right? Bai Qianning and I are going to prepare some refreshments for you."

Pulling Bai Qianning, who had been sitting silently by the side to accompany Qin Zheng, out of the room.

When the footsteps of the two got farther and farther away, Qin Zhengfang asked, "Do you still have anything you can use?"

Pei Mo took out the Dragon Spirit Jade Pendant from his sleeve, and seeing Qin Zheng looking at the jade pendant with a puzzled expression, he explained: "Whoever owns this Dragon Spirit Jade Pendant can control a whole [-] royal guards and the royal family's carefully cultivated men." A thousand elite dead soldiers. Since the strategy can't deal with it, you might as well use force to solve it." When he said the last sentence, his tone was full of decisiveness.

The dragon spirit jade pendant will only be passed on to the next emperor, so Qin Zheng is not aware of the secret that mastering the jade pendant can mobilize the imperial guards and elite soldiers. When he heard this, his face was full of surprise.

"It doesn't matter if the enemy hides in the dark of the palace. We can turn against the army and use the imperial guards to control the entire palace and trap them in our hands."

Pei Mo spread out the layout map of the palace, and began to discuss with Qin Zheng how to distribute the [-] imperial guards so that they would be stationed in every corner of the palace unobtrusively but seamlessly.

"The sixth prince has been murdered. I'm afraid the next one will be either Qin Ran or your father." Pei Mo said.

Qin Zheng drew a few strokes on the paper, "The remaining dead soldiers who have not been mobilized will be scattered, focusing on protecting Fifth Sister Qin Ran and my father, and leaving some to guard near the Queen's bedroom."

After the third watch, Pei Mo hadn't returned to the Yusheng Pavilion, and Qin Ran was very anxious.

She knew that a major event had happened in the palace, and she thought it was just the same as the usual struggle between princesses to set blame and frame her. With Pei Mo's ability to track down the poisoner, she would be able to bring down the opponent without much thought, but It seemed very abnormal tonight. After the empress summoned Pei Mo, not only was there no movement in the palace, but Pei Mo didn't even bring her a word of explanation when he didn't return late at night.

This is not Pei Mo's usual style.

Could it be that Pei Mo encountered something that even she found difficult?

Looking outside the door, Linglong Vigil's upright figure was projected on the door and window and never walked away, Qin Ran lay on the bedside and sighed resentfully.

It's a pity that Linglong followed her every step of the way, so she couldn't sneak out of the palace to seek help from her second sister, Qin Zheng.

With this worry in mind, Qin Ran had a sleepless night.

At dawn the next day, Pei Mo finally settled all the arrangements in the palace, dragged his exhausted body and rushed back to the palace. As soon as he approached Yusheng Pavilion, he saw Qin Ran sitting in the hall waiting for her.

"Why did you get up so early?" Pei Mo took a look at the still gray sky, stepped forward and rubbed Qin Ran's head, which was as wilted as a frost-beaten eggplant.

Qin Ran raised her haggard little face, took her hand and said, "I'm worried about you, why did you go all night when your mother called you?"

Hearing this, Pei Mo suddenly thought of the Queen who was seriously ill, and briefly told Qin Ran what happened last night, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know how the Queen's condition is now, why don't we go and have a look together."

Qin Ran nodded.

When the two arrived at the queen's bedroom, the imperial doctor was still attentively serving around the couch, and never left the whole night.

Seeing the empress lying pale, her arms covered with acupuncture needles, Qin Ran asked nervously, "When will my empress wake up?"

Seeing the two of them appearing behind him, the imperial doctor hastily bowed and saluted, and then he said: "Your Majesty...the situation is not optimistic. I have tried many methods but all have failed. I am afraid that your Majesty's medicine for this disease will be useless."

Hearing this, both of them were shocked.

Sighing and coming out of the Queen's bedroom, Pei Mo found that Qin Ran was in a trance. Her Majesty, who had been alive and well a few days ago, was lingering on the sick bed in the blink of an eye.

Holding Qin Ran's hand under the sleeve, Pei Mo whispered softly in her ear: "Now is not the time to be sad, Her Majesty is critically ill, and our road ahead may be even more bumpy."

If Her Majesty the Empress can't afford it, there will be a new power struggle in the palace to fight for the throne. At that time, the situation in the court will also change accordingly.

The whole country will be changed again.

Who will be king and who will be defeated?Just look at the next game.

Thinking of this, Pei Mo looked at his lover, Qin Ran, whom he had sworn to protect with his whole life, and let out an inaudible sigh.

After living a new life, you and I are still unable to escape from this vortex of power. Is this the fate that has been preordained in the dark?

After returning to Yusheng Pavilion to rest for the night, early the next morning, the news that Her Majesty was critically ill spread quickly like wings.

When the officials heard the news, they gathered in the meeting hall to discuss the matter of acting as the government agent. When Pei Mo and Qin Ran walked into the meeting hall, the ministers boarded the hall in silence, and their eyes fell on Qin Ran one by one.
