The night before Li Xunlin's trip, the regicide operation officially began.
Duke Lu did not have the guts to do this, but under the coercion of the queen, he had no choice but to give in.
He used his authority to replace the night guards of the Yangxin Palace with people directly related to the Queen, and these people were immortals from the Dayan Sect. In addition, the Shadow Guards also sneaked into the palace and replaced most of the guards.
Tonight, nearly half of the guards in the palace are direct descendants of the queen and prince.
The palace is not only guarded by visible guards, but also secretly guarded by masters who worship. Just because the war at Fengyang Pass is severe, most of the masters who worship have gone to Fengyang Pass, causing the protection of the palace to be at its weakest.
This is also the reason why the queen dared to commit regicide.
If this were not the case, even if they had the help of the Ghost Ancestor, it would be absolutely impossible for them to kill Emperor Hua, and they would not even dare to think about it.
At the third watch, the Ghost Ancestor, along with his two disciples and the direct descendants of the Shadow Guard, walked into the palace through the side door and headed to the Nourishing Heart Palace unobstructed.
In the Yangxin Hall at this time, Emperor Hua was seriously injured and went to bed early to rest. There were only two confidants waiting outside the hall.
The two chamberlains are both middle-aged, about the same age as Emperor Hua. They have served since childhood and are the most loyal.
One of the chamberlains glanced at the high moon in the dark night and muttered: "Although the moon is bright tonight, there is a chill in it that makes people feel uncomfortable."
"It does make people look a little scared."
Another chamberlain echoed, and then noticed something. He suddenly looked to the side and saw two black figures not far away. He immediately frowned and said: "Which servant with no eyesight approaches the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart without authorization?"
The Yangxin Hall is now a forbidden area, no one is allowed to be summoned, and no one can approach it.
The chamberlain was furious and stepped forward to deal with the other party. Unexpectedly, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky and landed right in the middle of the two chamberlains.
"hey-hey!"
The ghost ancestor suddenly appeared and said: "You two little kids, don't make any noise."
The two chamberlains were horrified, but they did not choose to run away, but acted instinctively at the same time.
"I don't know what it means!"
The Ghost Ancestor paid no attention to the two Immortals of the Second Tribulation, so he suddenly exerted his strength and suppressed the two of them when they faced each other. The two disciples came from a distance and killed the servant with one punch each.
Clean and neat.
The Ghost Ancestor opened the door of Yangxin Hall and walked slowly towards the place where Emperor Hua rested.
Because Emperor Hua was injured, he slept deeply. The Ghost Ancestor came to the door and did not step in rashly, because the seemingly unsuspecting sleeping chamber was actually powerfully protected.
"No wonder you dare to have the ambition to unify the spiritual world and make all the major sects serve as court eagles. You have many powerful things in your hands."
Although Emperor Hua did not have a jade seal around him, he still had powerful earthly magic weapons to protect him.
"It's a pity that I can't stop me."
The Ghost Ancestor started to crack it, and it was inevitable that he would make a noise. Although Vantage was sleeping deeply, he was still alert. When he woke up, he happened to see the Ghost Ancestor outside the door.
"Who are you?!"
When the Ghost Ancestor saw this, he sneered: "Here comes to take your life!"
Seeing this, Emperor Hua hurriedly shouted: "Here comes! There is an assassin! Come quickly!"
The Ghost Ancestor saw this and said disdainfully: "Don't waste your efforts, no one will come to save you even if you scream until your throat is broken."
As he spoke, the Ghost Ancestor suddenly exerted force, the invisible barrier protecting the inner chamber was broken, and a lantern-shaped magic weapon fell to the ground.
Emperor Hua's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that the other party was a powerful person from the earth realm, and thought that the ghost ancestor was sent by Liang Guo.
The reason why Emperor Hua made such a judgment was that Wuchenzi was a minister of the Liang Kingdom. As a strong person in the earth realm, he could naturally call on his friends who were strong in the earth realm to help out, such as the dwarf before. However, he never expected that this would ask
The ghost ancestor of fate is actually the prince's person.
"Come and accept your fate!"
Ghost Ancestor didn't waste much time and took action to deal with Vantage. In his heyday, Vantage was no match for the powerful people in the realm, let alone being seriously injured now, so there was no suspense in the battle between the two sides.

Duke Lu's Mansion.
Duke Lu couldn't sleep at night and kept pacing back and forth in the study, looking restless.
The Duke's wife opened the study door, walked in, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you tonight? You look so distracted? Is it because of His Highness Zhen?"
She knew that her husband had been controlled by His Highness Zhen. On the surface, she was loyal to the prince, but in fact, she was working for His Highness Zhen.
Duke Lu sighed and said, "Don't worry about the affairs of the court, and don't ask questions. Go down and have a rest."
If it were in the past, I would have been obedient and rested. Now that I know my husband is in a dilemma, how can I not worry? Especially when the life of my daughter is at stake.
My daughter Cheng Xuan is now the crown prince. If the prince falls, will the crown princess have a good ending?
"If we don't think about ourselves, we have to think about Haer. We must not let anything happen to her!"
The Duke's wife does not ask for anything else, as long as her daughter is fine. As for her grandson, she will definitely not be able to escape from His Highness Zhen's liquidation in the future.
When Duke Lu heard this, he smiled bitterly.
Based on his understanding of Li Zhen, he can only try his best to save Lu Guogong's mansion. As for his daughter, it has been thrown away and there is nothing he can do.
"Go and have a rest! I know what's going on."
Duke Lu said something perfunctory, and his wife left with a sad look on her face.
At the same time, the East Palace was brightly lit.
The prince was anxiously waiting for the news, and the queen was also in the East Palace.
The queen came here in secret, and she could not guarantee success, so when she came to the East Palace, if she made any mistakes, she would immediately adopt two backup plans: fight or escape.
"Xu'er! Don't go back and forth, it will make my mother upset."
The queen put on a luxurious phoenix robe and wore an ordinary woman's clothes, obviously ready for the follow-up.
Li Xu looked restless, looked at his mother, sat on the chair, and said: "It stands to reason that the news should have been sent back. There is still no movement. Is there something wrong?"
"Calm down!"
It is unknown what the queen's inner psychology was, but her apparent calmness was indeed incomparable to ordinary people.
"We have done everything we can, no matter what the result is, just follow the plan."
The queen said calmly.
The queen is indeed a very remarkable person to be able to say such things.
While the mother and son were talking, a Shadow Guard henchman suddenly came to report.
"Report to the Queen! Your Highness the Crown Prince! News has come from the palace, the overall situation has been decided!"
When the prince and queen heard this, they stood up suddenly. After being shocked, they could not stop being excited.
At this moment, mother and son knew that they had become the true rulers of China!
The prince was so excited that he could not speak. The queen also breathed a long sigh of relief, which showed that she was trying to stay calm just now.
Sadly, for the prince, his father died, and for the queen, her husband died. There was no trace of sadness from beginning to end.
"Follow the follow-up plan!"
The queen stabilized her emotions and said in a calm voice.
