Chapter 141 Shocking changes in the palace
On the day of Chen's execution, many people came to watch.

King Han carried An An to the execution ground.

King Han said to him, "Don't let anyone bully you in the future. If someone bullies you, bully them back."

An An nodded seriously.

Mu Qingqing didn't want An An to see blood so early, so she covered An An's eyes the moment the head fell to the ground.

When they were going back, Prince Han said to Mu Qingqing, "Get ready, we are going back to the capital!"

"Have you received a letter? What does it say? Is my family okay?"

Mu Qingqing asked worriedly.

Prince Han frowned, "Madam Mu and your sisters-in-law and nephews have all been locked up in the Dali Temple. His Majesty said he wants to try them, but now he's in a coma!"

The Empress found an opportunity and drugged the Emperor, who fell into a coma that night. Today is already the fourth day.

The second prince took charge of government affairs, and the first thing he did was to kill the evil Taoist priest. The old queen dowager wanted to stop him but failed.

At this time, the old concubine was instigating the fourth prince to rebel, but unfortunately the fourth prince and his mother were very smart and knew that now was not the right time.

The Queen and the Second Prince joined forces and legitimately took charge of government affairs.

And the old concubine was not qualified to participate in it.

King Han received the news and prepared to leave the next day.

At this time, Akatsuki suddenly sent a message.

The foreign army used poison to open a gap at the border, took advantage of the terrain, sneaked into the country, and attacked several cities. In two days, they would reach the capital.

Such news shocked King Han and Mu Qingqing. The border was guarded by an old general with great martial arts skills, many deputy generals, and strict security.

How did the other party poison the enemy? Where did they get the border map?

The Akatsuki organization expressed their speculation that the defense map might have been sent out through the old concubine and Chu Yu.

Mu Qingqing just thought it was ridiculous, but Akatsuki had the ability to do it. Since it had been proposed, they were probably about 70% to 80% sure of it.

"The old queen dowager is so old, why does she want to ally with foreign nations? What does she want to do? She has no children or grandchildren, who does she want to succeed her?"

Prince Han also felt that something was not right. It was not that the old concubine was wronged, but he just felt that the matter was inexplicable.

"Xiao said the details are under investigation!"

King Han burned the paper in his hand, and then continued, "I will bring back 100,000 soldiers this time, and the other side has 60,000, which should be enough."

"it is good!"

Inside the capital, the city gates were closed and the once bustling streets were deserted with only the occasional patrolling soldier passing by.

When the people received the news, they stayed in their homes. The enemies were outside the city gates, watching them covetously. What if they rushed in and killed the people?
There are not many permanent troops stationed in the capital, only 30,000 imperial guards. Facing an enemy that is twice as strong as them, can they defeat it?

Everyone in the palace was very worried at this time. The concubines gathered together to plan a way out for their children and family.

The emperor is in a coma. Is the second prince capable of dealing with foreign enemies?

At this time, people in the palace were in panic. The second prince came to his mother's yard with a gloomy face, but his eyes lit up when he saw his mother.

"Mother, what should we do when the army is besieging the city? Should we take the initiative to attack?"

He was a scholar and knew nothing about leading troops in battle, and several generals from the Mu Mansion were not there.

At this moment, the second prince felt extremely regretful. Why did he let his father fall into a coma at this time?

The queen slowly opened her eyes and glanced at him calmly, "Why are you panicking? As long as you hold out for a few days, the King of Han will definitely bring his army to support you!"

The second prince was still worried.

"But what if the other party uses poison?" He heard that they had captured the border by using poison.

That border pass was located right next to a natural cliff and had only one entrance, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Unfortunately, there was a traitor in the city, who was poisoned and captured without any effort.

The Queen was also worried about this matter, but she was more worried about the Old Concubine Dowager and Chu Yu.

"I asked you to keep an eye on the old concubine and the others. Are you doing so?"

The second prince quickly replied, "Mother, I have someone watching over you at all times!"

"it is good!"

The two men had no choice but to order their men to keep a close eye on the palace.

At night, the queen was worshiping Buddha in the Buddhist temple. Suddenly, she heard a noise behind her and turned around suddenly.

But a man in black knelt on one knee and said, "Greetings, Queen!"

The queen's heart was pounding and she wanted to scream, but when she met the other person's gloomy gaze, she couldn't shout.

The man in black continued, "I am a member of the Akatsuki organization. Our owner does not want to see civilians lying dead and displaced, so he is always paying attention to the situation in the capital."

"We have received news that the old concubine and Chu Yu will poison the palace the day after tomorrow, and one of the palace maids..."

He called out the names of ten people in one breath.

"These people are foreigners. They will poison the well water and food in the future. Please catch them with the Second Prince."

"The poison will gradually weaken the person. After three days, the person will be weak and powerless, unable to muster any strength."

"At the same time, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards is colluding with the foreign countries. The foreign countries have obtained the defense map of the past seven days. The possible attack points of the other party are..."

The Queen Mother went from being panicked at first to being shocked now that there were so many foreigners in the palace and even the Royal Guards had been bribed.

She felt more flustered than ever before. She waited for the other person to finish speaking, took the paper with the names from him, and memorized all the names.

"Thank you, Master, for me. Is there an antidote for this poison?"

The man in black nodded and said, "Our people will deliver the antidote tomorrow. The palace will not be affected."

"In addition to those in the palace, informants in the capital will also poison people with the same interest. Our Akatsuki organization will control them on the day of the poisoning."

The queen breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed completely.

After thinking for a while, the man in black couldn't help but said, "Our deputy museum owner said that your people can control the old concubine and Chu Yu on the third day after they pass the news on after the old concubine poisoned her."

"Of course, this is just a suggestion!"

After everything was said, the man in black said goodbye and left.

The poison will be administered the day after tomorrow, and the person will become weak and powerless after three days. This means that there are five days to prepare. I don’t know when King Han will arrive.

A general offensive will inevitably be launched on the sixth day. If it is carried out properly and the foreign nations are unprepared, half of the people should be killed, but it is unknown how many of the Royal Guards will die.

It remains to be seen whether it can withstand the second attack.

Never mind, let’s arrange things first and take it one step at a time.

The Queen Mother called the Second Prince into the palace that night, and the two of them planned for the entire night.

Starting from the second day, the second prince arranged people to secretly guard all the people on the list.

Then the people in the palace were replaced little by little with a group of skilled and loyal people. After all, the show would last for several days.

When the opponent thinks he has succeeded, he controls them all with one strike.
