"What did you say? Father, he..." Ji Lingxi jumped up from the bed. She hadn't slept all night. Her eyes looked scarlet and full of blood.
"My condolences on Princess Day." The maid knelt down on the ground.
Ji Lingxi no longer cared to ask other questions, she cried and called "Father..." and then jumped out of bed, without even wearing shoes, and ran out in a hurry.
Looking at the panicked and sorrowful back of the other party, Qingwan pursed her lips, but did not call her.
It was not very bright yet, but Qing Wan was no longer sleepy. She took a robe and put it on and walked straight to the window. The horns were still playing outside, and there were faint sounds of crying, but they were far away.
On a March day, the morning was still quite cool. Qing Wan subconsciously wrapped her outer robe tightly, thinking that this day was finally going to change.
After standing at the window for a moment, a palace official came in to help her wash up. Qing Wan asked, seemingly unintentionally: "How is it outside? Did the old emperor pass away and leave a will? Did he say to whom he would pass the throne to?"
Prince?"
The palace servant glanced at her, perhaps because he was concerned about her identity, and after some hesitation he replied: "I heard that the throne was passed to the fourth prince, and that it was the Ninth Prince himself who passed the order."
Qing Wan understood in an instant that the old emperor had brought her into the palace for this purpose.
As expected of someone who has been in that position for decades, he is really calculating.
Ji Lanjin personally announced the decree, which not only required him to give up the struggle for the throne, but also required him to clear the obstacles for Ji Liushang to ascend the throne.
But, after that person successfully ascended the throne, how could he tolerate his existence?
And why did he agree if he knew this?
Thinking of this, Qing Wan could no longer remain calm. When the palace attendant turned around, she took out the incense she carried with her and flicked it to the tip of the other person's nose. The palace attendant staggered and fell down.
This is her unique incense that can make people fall asleep for more than two hours.
Qingwan took advantage of the other person's unconsciousness and neatly changed her clothes with the other person's clothes, then moved the other person to the bed, covered him with a quilt, and lowered the curtains on both sides, pretending to be still asleep.
And she herself quietly slipped out of the yard and got in through the dog hole Ji Lingxi discovered yesterday.
The palace she was in was relatively remote, and few palace people were seen along the way. She could only walk around like a headless fly in the palace. Fortunately, the palace was in chaos at the moment, and no one noticed her.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour or two, she saw a group of palace people hurriedly heading in a certain direction. The leader was dressed as a concubine. Qingwan quietly followed those people and finally found the emperor.
The location of the palace. Outside the emperor's palace, one could hear crying from far away. Qing Wan walked forward and saw the palace maids and eunuchs kneeling on the ground in darkness.
In front were some kneeling princesses, concubines, and some ministers, and Ji Lanjin stood at the front of that group of people. Next to him were the queen, the fourth concubine, and a group of princes.
