Liuli thought for a while and then asked, "By the way, when we were on our way, we saw that there was security along the way. When we came out, it didn't seem so strict. Did something happen?"
"Hey, you don't know?" The hunter seemed surprised, "Even if you are not in the capital, you should know it. The new emperor has ascended the throne, and martial law will naturally be tightened!"
"The new emperor...has ascended the throne?!" Liuli felt that her tongue was knotted, and she turned to look at Concubine Yun. She also had a look of surprise on her face.
"What new emperor? Isn't the emperor still young? How could he change hands?" She asked, suppressing the surprise in her heart.
Women love gossip the most. The hunter's wife couldn't help but said, "Isn't it? It's strange to say that the Emperor of the Night suddenly issued an edict to abdicate and gave it to King Ning. Now, the one who takes the throne is King Ning!"
"Prince Ning?!" It was as expected, but she never expected that Jun Wuxie would actually write an abdication edict. What did this mean?
My heart is full of puzzles, but I can't find an answer now.
"Why do you want to give up the throne? Isn't the emperor's seat a good place to sit?" she asked.
"I don't know. There aren't so many words coming out of the palace. It is said that Emperor Ye felt incompetent, so he abdicated!"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the hunter, "Young woman, why are you talking so much? Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?!"
Then he looked at them and said, "It's getting late, you two should rest first. If anything happens, just call us!"
"Sorry!" He nodded and helped Mrs. Yun into the house.
Rainy night.
The two of them were lying on the bed, neither of them asleep, tossing and turning in their thoughts.
"What do you think?" Taifei Yun couldn't help but turned over and looked at her.
Liuli didn't sleep even with her eyes open. How could she sleep? The rain outside was pounding, but their mood became even more depressed.
"I don't know either!" She shook her head, "I don't understand what the emperor means!"
If it was forced into the palace, that would still make sense, but after so many years of preparation, Jun Wuxie was defeated so quickly?
"The emperor will not abdicate so easily. There must be a reason for this!" Concubine Yun said with certainty, "Maybe Jun Yuqing used us to threaten him!"
"That's not enough for Jun Wuxie to write an abdication edict directly!" Liuli said.
I still can't figure it out. It seems that I was right not to go back directly to the palace. I'd better wait until daybreak to find out more.
A sleepless night.
In the palace, someone hurried to Cining Palace, already soaked through. "Your Majesty, there is someone from outside the imperial city who came to surrender. He said he was a concubine who was kidnapped in the palace. The soldiers guarding the city have captured him.
The troublemaking thieves will be killed immediately!"
Jun Wuxie, who was lying on the couch, suddenly sat up and frowned, "How many people are there?"
"Seven or eight!"
"Seven or eight..." he said, "Didn't I give instructions that if someone comes to seek refuge at the city gate, they should be taken away and properly placed?"
"Yes! But they don't want to listen, so they must enter the palace, and then..." He was also helpless, and couldn't make too much noise, so as not to arouse suspicion.
"Let's explore again!" He paused, "Wait a minute!"
He took out a token from his body and said, "Just tell me that according to my will, all the people will be escorted in, and I will personally investigate!"
"Yes!" The man held the token and hurried into the rain.
