At this time, everyone in Chaoyun Palace was as silent as a cicada.
All the palace people were kneeling on the ground, no one dared to speak.
Those who are timid need to hold the hem of their clothes with both hands to control themselves from crying.
They were able to throw away the Queen Mother. If they made such a mistake, they would probably be beaten to death, right?
"So many people, you can't even see a living person?"
"What do you do to feed you?"
I have never seen His Majesty get so angry.
The people in the palace originally had a natural fear of superiors, but now they saw this scene and even lost their souls.
Chun Ya was timid at first, and when she thought that she was the one responsible for last night, she lost her mind. She also thought that if something happened to the Queen Mother, she would not be able to survive.
"Your Majesty, I am a slave..."
When she was about to admit it, she was suddenly pressed down by Qiangwei beside her. Qiangwei took two steps forward, looked at Shen Muchi and said, "Your Majesty, you are a slave..."
"Last night was my slave's fault. I neglected my duty and deserved death. Your Majesty, please..."
"His Majesty……"
However, at this moment, someone hurriedly broke in and knelt in front of Shen Muchi: "Your Majesty, we found out that this matter is related to the inner chamberlain."
"Inside chamberlain?" Shen Muchi was startled.
"What does this matter have to do with the inner chamberlain?"
Just listen to the man say: "It's absolutely true, last night, it was Eunuch Zhang, the eunuch's eunuch, who sent red bean soup to Chaoyun Palace in your name.
The imperial doctors of the Tang Dynasty had checked and found that there was a sufficient amount of poison. The servants of Chaoyun Palace were also knocked unconscious by the poison.
"What about Zhang Bingquan?" Shen Mu asked hurriedly.
"Zhang Bingquan...he left the palace early this morning, and now...he hasn't come back yet."
The spy finished these words tremblingly, and the next moment, the whole hall fell silent.
It's obvious that someone did this intentionally.
As for the current situation of the Queen Mother, it is self-evident.
Suddenly, there was a "crash", and Shen Muchi swept everything on the table to the ground. The loud noise made everyone tremble.
"Search! Search for me!" Shen Muchi said.
"If you pass the order, the city gate will be sealed immediately. No one can enter or exit the city gate regardless of any reason.
Even if we turn this Jinling City upside down, I still have to find this person."
"Yes Yes……"

At this time, on the other side of the palace, Concubine Rong was sitting in the cold palace. She was dressed luxuriously and looked out of place in the dilapidated cold palace.
She held her cheek with one hand, and with her other hand she was twirling the tea cup on the table with her fingers.
The maid Qu Yan came in from outside.
"Mother...mother..."
Qu Yan's panic made Concubine Rong's leisurely look even more perfect.
"How's it going?" she asked lazily. Ever since the news of her mother's death came, she seemed to be uninterested in anything.
She seems to have only one mission left in her life - revenge.
At this moment, Ting Quyan said: "The people have been sent out of the palace. I heard that your Majesty was so angry this morning that he even closed the city gate and refused to let go of a fly."
Everything went as Concubine Rong expected.
If Zhang Bingquan had not succeeded, he would have confessed her long ago if he was caught. How could she be allowed to sit leisurely like this?
"Huh..." Concubine Rong sneered.
"Your Majesty really has impure thoughts towards that bitch." Otherwise, he wouldn't be so anxious, right?
You must know that Jinling is the lifeblood of the entire Nanming. Once the entire Jinling is blocked, it will be enough to cause a sensation in the entire Nanming...
Shen Muchi could make such a decision without even thinking about it. Who would believe that he did it for an insignificant woman?
Who is Shen Muchi?
Profit comes first. In order to gain the kingdom, he deceived her for ten years and pretended to be affectionate. After he took advantage of her, he would kill her without even thinking about it.
What kind of woman could such a person be outside her sanity?
But Concubine Rong was too lazy to think about it.
What's there to think about? Now that she thinks about all the things she did in the past, she just feels ridiculous.
She didn't understand why she had to fall headfirst into it, tying her joys and sorrows to one person, her future to one person, and her destiny to one person...
She had never thought about how she would deal with this person if he changed his mind...
Thinking of this, Concubine Rong stopped thinking.
"Can the master and apprentice named Zhang be killed?" she asked.
"Don't worry, my dear. When I brought your token to see Mr. Gao, Mr. Gao personally agreed. Mr. Gao has always done things safely."
"Really..." Concubine Rong Gui laughed, "In that case, I can rest assured."
Who is this Mr. Gao?
If you talk about it, it can be regarded as a good relationship with Concubine Rong.
In the past, when he was at the Zhenguo Princess Mansion, Gao Xian would find various reasons to run to the Princess Mansion.
How could she not know what he was thinking?
It's a pity that she was very conceited at that time and looked down upon such a reckless man.
The Southern Ming Dynasty guarded Jinling and emphasized literature over martial arts. From the court to the people, the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties was respected. Not to mention that the generals had a river bank there, so what was the way out for practicing martial arts?
Besides, my mother had already said that she would marry the emperor when she grew up. Her heart had already been devoted to Shen Muchi, so there was no room for anyone else in her eyes.
In the eyes of the former Concubine Rong, Shen Muchi was not comparable to Gao Xian in terms of appearance, style, knowledge, or family background.
Just now...
Concubine Rong didn't expect that she would be in such a miserable state. She would still be willing to sacrifice her life for her even if she handed her an earring.
If she could marry Gao Xian, she would definitely be much happier now.
At least, he is truly affectionate and righteous, unlike...
When she thought of this, Concubine Rong suddenly stopped again.
She needs to be very restrained to stop herself from thinking about those useless things.
Right now, the most important thing is revenge...
Only when those two people die, no one will know the whereabouts of Mu Qingchao, and her revenge can be truly avenged.

On the other side of Jinling, when Eunuch Zhang and Xiao Shunzi were about to leave the city, they realized that they could not get out of the city gate at all.
There were officers and soldiers coming and going in the city, and they were so frightened that they could only hide in the remote alleys.
"master……"
Standing next to Eunuch Zhang, Xiao Shunzi swallowed when he saw the guards patrolling back and forth: "What should we do?"
They naturally knew what a serious crime they had committed. If they were caught by officers and soldiers, the consequences could be imagined.
That Mr. Zhang was really upset.
"Tsk": "What are you afraid of? Since we can't go out, then we will stay in the city. It's just that the storm is tight now, and it will naturally subside in a few days. Then we can go out again."
Eunuch Zhang said this, but he also knew that it was not that simple.
Just when he was feeling panic-stricken, he turned around and saw a sword coming straight through his chest.
Before Eunuch Zhang could react, he only felt a cold feeling in his chest. When he lowered his head, he saw that there was already a big hole, and blood trickled out.
