After kneeling for such a long time, these ministers actually wished they could follow King Rui.

But they came to the palace to mourn, so they couldn't abandon the emperor's coffin and go to Yinghua Palace to watch the fun.

Prince Rui was the emperor's uncle, an elder, and he had a distinguished status. In the name of preventing the fire from spreading and destroying the palace, he led people to put out the fire in Yinghua Palace, and others could not criticize him.

Concubine An Xian was the emperor's concubine. They had to avoid suspicion, and the harem was not a place where ministers like them could come and go at will.

But their wives had no such scruples.

Seeing that the second prince and Prince Rui had left, the ministers hurriedly stood up and ordered their wives to go to Yinghua Palace to help.

Whether Concubine An Xian can be rescued is the next best thing. The key is to take advantage of the opportunity to move around and see if you can find out some information.

These ladies who came to the palace to mourn were not stupid. They did not understand everything about the undercurrents in the court, but they understood it to some extent.

At this moment, I also understand what my husband is thinking.

After Princess Jianrui, Princess Guangping and Princess Jing left, Princess Hui, Princess Dingyuan, Madam Nan'an Hou and others also followed. The other ladies looked at each other and walked out of the hall in twos and threes.

These ladies were walking in a hurry. No matter how much friendship they had with Concubine An Xian on weekdays, their faces were full of worry at the moment. But only they themselves know how many people really care from the bottom of their hearts.

Mrs. Kang Anbo was really worried that something would happen to Concubine An Xian, after all, she was her sister. As long as Concubine An Xian is alive and well, the Kang Anbo Mansion can legitimately take advantage of her power.

Mrs. Kang Amber was extremely anxious, but she had knelt for too long, her legs were sore and numb, and she couldn't walk fast at all. She could only urge the two maids supporting her to speed up.

If anyone is more anxious than Mrs. Kang Anbo, it is Han Yao.

Ever since she seduced the second prince in Dingyuan Palace and did that with her in the cave, she was discovered by everyone. The second prince was forced to accept her as Liangdi.

But Han Yao knew that Prince Dingyuan and his wife secretly did not want her to marry the second prince. If she had not tried so hard to persuade the madam to let her enter the second prince's mansion early, she would have died of illness long ago.

It's just that although Han Yao entered the second prince's house as she wished, the second prince was annoyed that her seduction was discovered by the emperor, and he lost the face of the royal family, so he didn't like her.

Han Yao's life in the Second Prince's Mansion was not good. She still tried her best to keep herself humble in front of Concubine An Xian and tried every means to please the Second Prince in bed.

He also gave the second prince a lot of advice on the prince's death in a brothel, and this was how he changed his mind.

Seeing that the second prince was about to ascend the throne as emperor, Han Yao was trying her best to get him to make her the queen, so that she could trample that bitch Ling Chu and the Dingyuan Palace under his feet.

At this critical moment, Han Yao naturally did not want anything to happen to Concubine An Xian, otherwise her wish to be established as queen would be affected.

Han Yao's legs were numb and sore, but she could only grit her teeth and rush to Yinghua Palace eagerly.

The ladies all left, and the hall suddenly became quite empty.

Those ministers had been kneeling for such a long time, and their legs felt uncomfortable. He had just stood up and asked the ladies of each family to go to Yinghua Palace to help. Naturally, he was unwilling to kneel down so soon.

They stood together in twos and threes, talking about the assassins.

The imperial guards standing in the dark frowned, but seeing that no one touched the emperor's coffin, they couldn't say much.

While everyone was discussing, a loud noise suddenly came from the hall.

Everyone was shocked.

Everyone was shocked when they turned around and saw the broken coffin in the hall.

Yinghua Palace was attacked by an assassin, and the emperor's coffin was smashed inexplicably. Everyone smelled something fishy. The second prince hurriedly hurried slowly, and when he was about to arrive at Yinghua Palace, the young eunuch suddenly shouted in panic from behind.

"Second Prince, Second Prince, it's bad... the emperor's coffin was smashed."

The second prince, who was feeling uneasy, heard the word "bad" and the veins on his forehead swelled. In his rage, he almost turned around and ordered someone to drag the little eunuch down and kill him with a cane.

But after hearing what he said behind him, his expression changed drastically.

Not caring about rescuing Concubine An Xian, the second prince turned around and hurried back the way he came.

The little eunuch shouted loudly, and Prince Rui who was walking in front naturally heard it.

He stopped, frowned and glanced at Yinghua Palace not far away, then immediately turned around and walked back.

Prince Rui was already suspicious of the emperor's death, and the second prince repeatedly prevented him from visiting the queen mother. He had somewhat guessed what the second prince was thinking.

An assassin entered Yinghua Palace and escaped. He came in a hurry, not because he cared about Concubine An Xian, but just wanted to take the opportunity to find out some information.

Hearing that the emperor's coffin was smashed, Prince Rui immediately sensed that something was unusual.

Ling Chu looked through the system and saw the second prince and Prince Rui leaving in a hurry, and raised the corners of his lips.

Seeing Ning Chuyi, who was hidden among the officials in the main hall, walking toward the coffin, she slowly put the invisible shovel that had smashed the coffin back into the system.

The second prince hurriedly turned back. When he saw the female family members from various houses who were following them, his expressions were not very good, but he didn't have any thoughts at the moment.

Han Yao felt that this was an excellent opportunity. The second prince had no other skills. If she could help, she would have more hope for her to become the queen.

Suppressing the joy in her heart, she hurriedly greeted the second prince, "Your Highness, don't worry, I will leave it to you, and I will definitely take care of it."

Although the second prince didn't like Han Yao very much, his expression softened when he saw her taking the initiative to help. He hurriedly explained a few words and rushed to the emperor's palace.

Concubine An Xian's safety is related to the establishment of the queen, and Han Yao's rush to Yinghua Palace has never been more urgent.

The ladies following behind also knew that the emperor's coffin had been smashed, and they were wondering whether they should follow the second prince and Prince Rui back to the emperor's palace.

Princess Jianrui and several noble ladies looked at each other and continued to rush to Yinghua Palace. They hesitated for a moment and then followed.

Han Yao hurried all the way, and when she arrived at Yinghua Palace, she saw that the door was open, and there was no nun or maid guarding the door. I didn't think much about it, I just thought they were all going to put out the fire.

When she crossed the threshold and walked a few steps inside, she saw the imperial guards and palace maids lying on the ground, and her expression changed.

Although it was strange that these people were unconscious here, Han Yao was worried about Concubine An Xian's life and only took a quick glance before heading to the inner courtyard.

The nanny who was unconscious on the ground was about to wake up. She was overjoyed when she saw Han Yao, "Han Liangdi, go and save the empress..." As soon as the words were spoken, the nanny's face suddenly changed when she saw Princess Rui and others coming over after them. .

"Han Liangdi, hurry... stop them quickly, don't let them in."

Princess Rui was feeling that what happened today was too strange, and wanted to take the opportunity to find out the news. At this moment, she saw that the stewardess of Yinghua Palace had such an abnormal attitude, how could she get what she wanted.

Immediately, with a straight face and the posture of a princess, she angrily rebuked, "Mommy is so confused. There is a leak in the palace of the Concubine Xian. We kindly came to help put out the fire, but you actually want to stop it. Could it be that the leak in Yinghua Palace was caused by you?"

The grandma was so anxious that she almost vomited blood when she saw Han Yao looking at her suspiciously.
