The empress stood in front of Concubine An's Yinghua Palace and coldly ordered the nun beside her, "Go and call the door."

"Yes, ma'am."

A grandma responded, rolled up her sleeves and walked forward to knock on the door.

The dissatisfied voice of the palace maid soon came from inside, "Who is it? It's not yet dawn, and I'm disturbing the queen. I'm worried that I'll skin you..."

As the door opened, the palace maid who came out saw the queen and the palace maid in front of her, and her expression changed.

However, after just being stunned for a moment, the palace maid regained her composure, casually blessed the queen, and said softly, "I have seen the queen, and I don't know if the queen came here before dawn, but what's the matter?

Concubine Xian was so sad last night that she only took a rest half an hour ago..."

The Empress glared sullenly at the palace maid in front of her who had no respect for her, and interrupted her coldly, "An assassin entered the palace, and someone saw him escaping into Yinghua Palace.

I am worried about the safety of Concubine Xian, so I specially brought people to check. "

"Your Majesty, please take the trouble. I have been guarding here and haven't seen any assassins. The palace people must have made a mistake. Please come back, Queen. No one can afford to disturb the Concubine Xian's dream. "

The prince died, the Ministry of War Minister's Mansion was also wiped out, and the queen was no different from a paper tiger with its teeth pulled out.

The second prince became the lord of the world, and the Phoenix Seal was taken away by the Concubine Xian. This concubine was arrogant and did not take the Queen seriously at all.

The queen's face was gloomy, and she motioned to the palace maid beside her to step forward and pull her away.

It was only the hands of the two nuns that caught the palace maid, and a cold voice came from behind the door, "The emperor passed away, and the queen didn't go to mourn. Instead, she came to Yinghua Palace early in the morning to cause trouble.

The imperial doctor said that the emperor passed away and that our concubine, the Concubine, was extremely sad and needed to rest. If the second prince disturbed his wife's health care, no one could bear the blame.

Queen, please come back. If you have any questions, we can wait until our Lady, the Concubine Xian, has recovered her health. We will tell you later. "

The maid had no respect for the queen at all, and the stewardess of Yinghua Palace didn't even take the queen seriously.

Throw in a few sarcastic remarks and threats.

He waved his hand casually behind him and said, "Come here, send the Queen back."

Although the stewardess didn't know how the queen came out of the cold palace, she didn't care about it.

So what if she escapes? The entire palace is under the control of the second prince. Even if she escapes, she won't be able to cause any trouble.

Seeing the two imperial guards leading the maids and nuns from Yinghua Palace toward the queen, Ling Chu frowned and stepped out of the darkness.

"Tsk, the palace of the Concubine Xian was not only invaded by assassins, but also escaped. You didn't rush to save people, but you still had the intention to show off your power here.

If the Second Prince finds out that you are refusing to save the Concubine, how many heads do you have enough to chop off? "

The maids and imperial guards of Yinghua Palace stared at Ling Chu who suddenly appeared with unkind expressions on their faces. But when he turned around and saw the flames rising into the sky in the direction of the inner courtyard, his expression changed greatly.

The steward turned around in a hurry, ran two steps, and then suddenly stopped.

Turning around, he saw Ling Chu and the Empress, with their maids and nuns, about to enter Yinghua Palace. He immediately said to the Imperial Guards who were about to put out the fire, "Stop them and don't let any of them in."

The maids and imperial guards serving in Yinghua Palace didn't know about Concubine Xian's secret meeting with Zhao Chuanlin at night, but the stewardess was Concubine Xian's nanny and even more of a confidant.

Not only did she know all the private affairs of Concubine Xian, but she also knew exactly what the two of them had caused last night. How dare she let the queen and others come in at this moment.

Although the two Imperial Guards and the palace maids felt that it was more important to save the Concubine Xian now, they could see the stern look on the steward's face and they did not dare to disobey her.

He turned around and quickly moved towards the Queen, intending to stop her and the palace maids first, and then go to save the Concubine Xian.

Being stopped by them, the stewardess felt relieved, turned around and hurried towards the inner courtyard.

Just after running a few steps, there was a shrill howl behind him.

The grandma was startled and subconsciously turned around.

Just when she saw the Imperial Guard and the palace maid who stepped forward to stop them lying on the ground with pained faces on their faces, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her legs. With a scream, the stewardess fell to the ground hard.

The emperor's bedroom.

The second prince rubbed his numb knees, glanced at the hourglass in the corner, and motioned to the little eunuch next to him to help him up.

It's time for him to go to court.

There is no turning back when the bow is drawn. Since he has embarked on this path, he will not allow failure.

There was no news from Qi Guogong, and he could not wait any longer.

The second prince is thinking about finding a few close ministers and asking them to petition for the appointment of a new king when they go to court.

Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the main hall, and a little eunuch with an ordinary face hurried in, "Second Prince, it's not good. An assassin broke into the palace of the Concubine Xian, and even escaped..."

The second prince was thinking intently when his thoughts were suddenly interrupted and he glared at the little eunuch angrily.

But before he could get angry, his expression suddenly changed when he heard the little eunuch's words.

My heart was beating wildly.

How could an assassin break into the palace?
Could it be that the assassin was from the Minister of War and came specifically to kill his mother and concubine to avenge the people of the Minister's Mansion?

Seeing the crying officials and female family members in the palace looking at him, the second prince took a deep breath and suppressed the panic and suspicion in his heart.

I just wanted to say that I would take care of the affairs of Yinghua Palace.

Prince Rui stood up with a solemn look on his face, "How could an assassin sneak into the palace? The sky is dry and water leakage is not a trivial matter, but we must not let the fire spread.

Second Highness, let's go. I'll let you go and see who is so bold that he dares to break into the palace and cause trouble. "

The second prince's lips moved, he wanted to refuse.

But I was worried that the officials would become suspicious.

His mother-in-law's palace was invaded by assassins and escaped. It was time to save people. It would be unreasonable for him to stop her.

Since he had people spread the news about the emperor's death and the empress dowager fainted, he took the opportunity to take control of Cining Palace.

Prince Rui wanted to visit the Queen Mother, but was repeatedly rejected on the grounds that the Queen Mother needed to rest.

Prince Rui was already dissatisfied with him. If he refused at this moment, he might take the opportunity to bring up the matter of visiting the Queen Mother again, and it would be hard for him to object again.

After all, Prince Rui is the emperor's uncle. He has not yet ascended the throne, so he still has to take some care of his face.

The second prince had no intention of wasting time on this matter. There was another more important reason. If Concubine An Xian was killed by an assassin or burned to death, his accession to the throne would definitely be affected.

Seeing that Prince Rui had already walked out of the hall, the second prince could only glance at the imperial guards in the hall and signal them to guard the emperor's coffin.

Then walked out quickly.

The second prince kept everyone in the palace in the name of mourning, and the thoughtful ministers guessed his thoughts to some extent.

Seeing that he and Prince Rui had left at this moment, all the officials in the palace looked at each other thoughtfully, then turned to the lady kneeling on the other side of the female family members and told them, "There is a storm in the palace, please go and see if you want anything." To help.”

(ps: The system has been a little convulsive these past two days. Yesterday I updated to chapter 457, but the system popped up a prompt for chapter 441, and today another prompt for chapter 442 popped up. If you see it, just ignore it. I have left a message for the editor-in-chief. , I’ll see if I can find the technical department to cure the system’s madness tomorrow.)
