In ancient times, I made a fortune by copying my family

Ling Chu originally thought that even if they came back, they wouldn't let outsiders know.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how she and Ning Chuyi could appear in Kyoto in a short time even though they were in a small county thousands of miles away from the capital the day before.

Even if they knew about Concubine An's affair with Zhao Chuanlin, they couldn't expose it.

But this time, she changed her mind.

It was enough for Concubine An and Zhao Chuanlin to confuse the royal bloodline. She could not just watch the Chongzhao Dynasty be destroyed in the hands of such people.

Otherwise, the world will be in chaos, and the people will suffer.

Her master couldn't just sit back and watch.

Master Xuan Yi is too old to make her tired. As a disciple, since she encountered this incident, she couldn't turn a blind eye.

Moreover, if Concubine An and Zhao Chuanlin were not dealt with, it would be a shame for her expensive teleportation talismans.

She and Ning Chuyi used eight teleportation talismans, all of which were exchanged for rare high-grade jade.

Seeing Ling Chu raising the drug in his hand towards the bed, Ning Chuyi watched quietly and did not stop him.

"Tsk, Second Senior Brother's medicine is really useful, but it's a pity that this is the last bit. Next time I see him, I have to ask him for more." Seeing Concubine An and Zhao Chuanlin, who were preparing for the second spring breeze, fainted.

Ling Chu patted the remaining powder on his hands, raised his feet and prepared to walk around the screen.

Ning Chuyi twitched the corner of her mouth and quickly grabbed her arm with quick eyes.

"Don't look at it, be careful of the needle's eye."

Ling Chu paused in his steps. Forget it, just don’t watch it if you don’t want to watch it, she’s not interested in the nudity of foreign men either.

Although they had the invisibility charm, Ling Chu and Ning Chuyi did not go out through the gate of Concubine An's palace. Instead, he climbed out through the window through which Zhao Chuanlin came in.

It was still dark at this time, about Yin time.

Although it is still dark, there are palace lanterns everywhere in the palace, so there is no need to worry about not being able to see the road in the dark.

The second prince had heard the news that the emperor had passed away, and he didn't know what was going on in the palace at this moment.

Thanks to the invisibility talisman, Ling Chu and Ning Chuyi didn't have to hide. They left Concubine An's chamber and started snooping around the palace.

Ling Chu was not very familiar with the palace, but the emperor often called Ning Chuyi into the palace. He took Ling Chu directly to the palace where the emperor lived.

In the distance, the two heard faint crying.

Along the way, Ning Chuyi frowned more and more.

Not only were there more Imperial Guards guarding the palace than when the Emperor was there, but they were all strangers.

It seems that the second prince has disposed of all the people left by the emperor and replaced them with his people.

Fortunately, they were wearing invisibility charms and didn't encounter anyone blocking them along the way.

As we got closer, the crying became louder and louder.

The palace where the emperor lived became a place where spirits rested.

At this moment, the door of the palace was open, and at a glance, the palace was completely deserted and filled with people kneeling on their knees.

After a cursory glance, Ling Chu discovered that all the officials from Kyoto had gathered here to mourn for the emperor.

In the middle of the hall stands a majestic and simple coffin. What must be inside is the emperor's corpse.

The second prince was kneeling in front of the coffin in mourning, holding a stack of yellow paper in his hand and putting it into the burning copper basin.

Kneeling next to him were several princesses and the young prince.

The third prince was nowhere to be seen.

Although his legs and feet were disabled, the second prince did not let him go. He himself killed his father and brother, but put the crime on the third prince and Ning Guogong and his son.

I don’t know if the third prince was killed by him or imprisoned.

Although Ling Chu wanted to expose Concubine An and Zhao Chuanlin, she was not prepared to do it herself.

There is a perfect candidate in the palace.

The prince's death was closely related to the second prince, and the queen must have hated Concubine An and her son.

Ling Chu felt that it would be best to tell the queen about Concubine An and Zhao Chuanlin. But she glanced at the crying people again and found that not only the third prince was not there.

On the side where the female relatives were crying, the concubines of all levels were there, but the queen, who was the master of the harem, was nowhere to be seen.

It is said that when the emperor dies, even if the queen is ill, she will still come to cry for the emperor.

Ling Chu was a little worried about the people in Prince Dingyuan's palace. She searched the crowd and found Princess Dingyuan.

However, her face looked haggard and pale. She might have been kneeling for a long time, and her body looked a little shaky.

Ling Chu was worried that her body wouldn't be able to bear it, but she was invisible at the moment and could only watch.

She looked to the other side.

The one crying on the left was an official from the court. Ling Chu looked around and saw only her eldest brother Han Lin, but her father, King Dingyuan, was not there.

Ning Chuyi's face turned dark. He found that not only was King Dingyuan absent, but there was no one from Duke Ning's palace crying in the hall.

The second prince accused Duke Ning of murdering the emperor, and his family members did not know whether they were executed or imprisoned.

Ning Chuyi's eyes fell on the coffin in the center of the hall. The emperor was not dead, so the body inside must be fake.

In fact, as long as everyone sees that the person in the coffin is not the emperor, the second prince can be exposed.

But Ning Chuyi did not go directly to open the coffin.

Even though the coffins were placed so casually in the middle of the hall, there were many Imperial Guards standing in the shadows holding swords at their waists.

At a glance, it was obvious that the second prince was guarding against someone trying to make a fuss about the emperor's body.

Following Ning Chuyi's gaze, Ling Chu also saw the forbidden troops.

The two looked at each other, turned around and left the hall.

He didn't stop until he reached a remote and deserted place.

Ling Chu looked back at the emperor's palace, feeling a little confused, "It's been a few days since the second prince heard the news of the emperor's death. Ordinarily, even if all the officials want to go to the palace to mourn, they will only stay in the palace for the first three days.

After three days, as long as he goes to the palace on time every morning to cry, he will go back to his house to rest in the evening and go to the palace again the next day.

Otherwise, even an iron man wouldn't be able to stand it if he knelt down and cried like this every day.

But now, all the officials in Kyoto are in the palace and have not returned home, which is really unreasonable. "

Ning Chuyi's eyes darkened, "Although the second prince has heard the news of the emperor's death, he knows that the emperor is not dead. It will be a long night and many dreams, and he may not be able to wait to ascend the throne."

"But it had only been a few days since he heard the news that the emperor had passed away. He couldn't wait to ascend the throne, and he wasn't afraid of anyone poking his back."

"For the sake of the throne, he even dared to kill his father and brother, so how could he be afraid of others' criticism. He could have arranged for a few officials to invite him to the throne on the grounds that the country cannot live without a king for a day."

"What's more, almost all the officials in Kyoto have come to the palace.

The second prince kept them in the name of crying spirits, which was both a shock and a disguised form of imprisonment.

After all, those who can come to the palace to cry are not only the pillars of each government, these people also represent the power of the entire Kyoto.

As long as the second prince orders people to close the palace door, these people will be held hostage by him.

In this case, who dares to oppose his ascension to the throne?

Even if there is, it's nothing to worry about. Just fabricating a few baseless accusations is enough to scare the chickens!
The entire Kyoto was controlled by the second prince, and the Queen Mother might have lost her freedom and become his trump card.
