Early the next morning, an urgent message came from outside the imperial city.

"Report!" the postman delivering the message shouted loudly outside the imperial city, "The eldest princess has been assassinated! The eldest princess has been assassinated!"

The deputy commander on duty at the city tower was shocked when he heard this: "Who is there under the city? What happened to the eldest princess?"

Downstairs of the post station: "The eldest princess was assassinated after leaving Fenglu and is seriously injured and in danger! Go and inform the emperor and the empress!"

After the deputy commander repeatedly confirmed the news, he immediately got off the tower and rode his horse in person to gallop towards the palace.

The news quickly reached Yan Yun and Concubine De: "The Eighth Prince! The Eighth Prince, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess has been assassinated, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess has been assassinated!"

Yan Yun, who had just finished breakfast and arrived in front of Fengtian Gate, heard the news and immediately perked up: "What's the news?"

"Damn it." The deputy commander nodded, "The postman who delivered the message is still outside the imperial city. The Eighth Prince wants to bring him to ask him personally?"

"Bring it here!"

"놆."

"Eighth Prince." Xuan Nanfeng, dressed in a black robe, walked over with a cold expression on his face, "Deputy Commander Wang sent the post soldiers who just said he was delivering the message to come?"

Yan Yun's expression calmed down and he nodded slowly: "Yes."

Xuan Nanfeng asked: "What news did you send?"

Yan Yun frowned, with a somewhat depressed and sad look on his face: "He said that the emperor's sister was assassinated, and he asked Deputy Commander Wang to bring the person over for questioning. I believe that the emperor's sister is a lucky person, so she should be fine. of."

Xuan Nanfeng's expression suddenly changed: "The eldest princess was assassinated?"

"I don't know whether the news is true or not. We need to bring someone here to ask for confirmation." Yan Yun looked solemn and sighed softly, "I hope the emperor's sister is fine."

Xuan Nanfeng stared at him without saying a word, with a bit of inquiry, a bit of suspicion, and a bit of coldness in his eyes.

After a moment, he turned around and walked towards Qinzheng Hall.

Yan Yun raised his eyes and stared at his back, the worry on his face faded, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Yan Li was assassinated.

For him, this news was undoubtedly a blessing after a long drought.

No matter how angry his father was, no matter whether he said sincerely or perfunctorily these days that he wanted to consider establishing a heir apparent, he didn't care.

놙I want Yan Li to die.

Besides him, who else can get this throne?

Yan Li is alive, which is a hope for the father and the queen. The civil and military officials of the court are still on Yan Li's side, and they are all waiting to see what happens.

녦Once Yan Li dies.

Regardless of the families who suffered greatly after Yanli came back, or some neutral ministers, they all had to make him, the traditional prince, the crown prince, or even directly abdicate the throne - just in case. , it is more reassuring that the father returns the Zen position.

A look of determination flashed across Yan Yun's eyes.

He is determined to win this throne. Anyone who dares to stand in his way will die.

With this thought in mind, Yan Yun turned around and ordered a chamberlain: "Report this news to my mother and concubine."

"놆."

Yan Yun quickly led the people outside the palace.

Emperor Wen hardly had any dynasty in the past few days. Apart from sleeping in the palace, he mostly handled government affairs in the Qinzheng Hall.

Prime Minister Ji, General Xuan, ministers of various ministries and senior officials in the court were all there.

They were frightened, angry, and dissatisfied with the eighth prince's behavior of blatantly controlling the palace in the name of Qingjun. They had angrily rebuked and protested, correcting Yan Yun's behavior with words of justice.

To put it seriously, it can be said to be rebellion.

However, Prime Minister Ji and the ministers of various ministries are still civil servants, and their words are of little importance to Yan Yun, who currently relies on military power to control the palace.

Although General Xuan had military power and all the gates inside and outside the imperial city were guarded by Gyeonggi Guards, he could not go out to mobilize troops.

However, the strength of the Royal Forest Army alone is not enough to counter the Gyeonggi Guards for the time being.

So after several days of protest, Prime Minister Ji and other important ministers fell silent. They knew full well that Yan Yun's completely irrational behavior could not be dissuaded by a few words.

He never thought about the consequences of his desperate move.

"Recently, a lot of government affairs have been put on hold. If it's not something urgent, my dear friends, you can take advantage of this family to have a good rest." Emperor Wen looked at the imperial memorial and said, "Anyway, there are many things that cannot be dealt with for the time being."

Prime Minister Ji looked indifferent: "The Eighth Prince is really crazy. He is digging his own grave by doing this."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an emergency call from outside: "Your Majesty, something has happened to Your Highness the Princess!"

What?

Prime Minister Ji's expression suddenly changed, and he turned to look at Xuan Nanfeng, who was walking quickly: "Commander Xuan, what happened?"

"Report to the Emperor." Xuan Nanfeng knelt down on one knee, "I just passed through Fengtianmen in humble duty and met the Eighth Prince and Deputy Commander Wang to talk. They said..."

Emperor Wen spoke sharply: "What did they say?"

Xuan Nanfeng gritted his teeth: "They said that the eldest princess was assassinated and her life or death is uncertain."

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the Qinzheng Hall.

Prime Minister Ji's expression froze, and other ministers also changed their expressions.

Low pressure filled the hall.

An ominous aura enveloped the place, so dense it made people feel chilly all over.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess was assassinated?" the new Minister of Household Affairs was surprised, "How could such a thing happen?"

"Could it be that the Eighth Prince did it?"

"If it's really the eighth prince who did it, then he's really crazy! Is he really going to force me into the palace?"

The ministers gathered in the Qinzheng Palace were obviously anxious. They were worried about the safety of the eldest princess, and they were also worried that the country would be subverted. Once Yan Yun lost his mind and made crazy moves, the consequences would be disastrous.

Even if the Gyeonggi Guards and the Yulin Army fight to the death and are lucky enough to control the situation, they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

"My dear friends, don't worry." Emperor Wen spoke calmly, his face indifferent to joy and anger, "Yan Li is auspicious to the Jin Kingdom. Even if he is assassinated, he will turn the danger into good luck."

As soon as the emperor spoke, the ministers immediately calmed down.

The uneasy atmosphere condensed in Qinzheng Hall seemed to be pushed aside, and the haze was dispersed bit by bit.

Prime Minister Ji took a long breath: "The emperor is right. The eldest princess is auspicious to the Jin country. Even if she is assassinated, she will turn the danger into good luck. You can't fall into the trap of the bad guys easily. You adults don't have to worry, and neither does Commander-in-Chief Xuan." Worry."

Other ministers in the palace echoed: "Ah, the eldest princess will be fine. This news may be false. Someone may deliberately spread rumors to shake the Sacred Heart."

"That's right, the Eighth Prince's conspiracy must not succeed!"

"When the eldest princess comes back, her ambitions will be suppressed. God bless the Kingdom of Jin, and the thieves will not succeed."

Ministers, you don't know what you say to convince the emperor or yourself. When you turn your eyes inadvertently, you still can't ignore a trace of worry in your eyes.

What should we do if something happens to the eldest princess?

What if this urgent report is true...

"What did you say?" Concubine De sat up from the imperial concubine's couch, her expression dull for a moment, "Eldest Princess, she..." m.

"Your Majesty, you heard me right. An urgent report came from outside the palace just now. Her Royal Highness the Princess has been assassinated. The situation is not good."

Concubine De was silent for a moment, then she suddenly said in surprise: "God helps me, God helps me!"

Once Yan Li dies, who among the Jin royal family can compete with her son?

The throne is Yun'er's, and she can be Yun'er. As a concubine, she can become the most noble Queen Mother in one step. What can Jiang Yi, who has been in glory for half her life, fight with her in the future?
