Just as Jin Liquan left, the sound of the third watch drum was heard in the distance.
Mu Yunhan put away his fan: "Come in."
Mu Li walked in: "This is the latest news from the palace."
In the past two days, with the help of Jin Liquan's east wind, news from the Priest Palace has been able to flow smoothly.
Queen Mother Shen suddenly vomited blood until she died when she was attacked and forced by Pei Youzhong and King Shou in the early morning court.
The blood she spit out was dark red, and it was obvious that she had been poisoned. Even though the imperial doctor was afraid of the power of King Shou and did not dare to tell the truth, he could not hide it from the eyes of the ministers.
What's more, when Empress Dowager Shen was about to die, she shouted: "It is not allowed by heaven for King Shou to kill his brother and his mother."
The ministers finally couldn't bear it anymore, and someone jumped out to accuse King Shou. King Shou would definitely deny it.
As a result, a new round of conflict broke out between the two sides, in which several ministers were killed and injured, and more than twenty were imprisoned.
In order to control the situation, King Shou ordered martial law again.
"Now, Your Majesty is being taken care of by Concubine Xi. Ministers have jointly requested the Empress Dowager to come out and take charge of the overall situation. However, the Empress Dowager has closed the Shou'an Palace and no one can see her.
There are rumors that Shou'an Palace was closed by the order of King Shou because King Shou wanted to blame the Queen Mother Shen's death on the Queen Mother.
Indeed, King Shou also issued such an order, and the Empress Dowager was not allowed to leave the palace or see guests without his permission.
Today, many ministers are secretly working together to kill King Shou and avenge the late emperor and His Majesty, among them there is the shadow of the Lin family."
So we really need to start soon.
Mu Yunhan asked: "How is your Majesty?"
Mu Li hesitated for a moment before saying: "It's not very good. I was frightened, but Concubine Xi took good care of her and she got better."
This time Yan'er saw Empress Dowager Shen vomiting blood and died with his own eyes, and his reaction was much more intense than the last time he saw Empress Zou having an accident.
At that time, I was so frightened that I couldn't stop crying. Later, I became incontinent and fainted.
Of course, this is also one of the crimes committed by King Shou's atrocities.
Mu Yunhan frowned and fell into deep thought.
Rice came quickly, the smile on his face could not be suppressed: "Madam, madam..."
She carefully handed over a note.
When Mu Yunhan saw the familiar fonts on the note, his brows relaxed and he said excitedly: "Who sent the letter?"
Da Mi said: "Huanhualou, my servant also told him to wait for a moment. Madam might want to ask questions, but he said he couldn't stay because he had other things to do."
Mu Li looked at Mu Yunhan eagerly: "Madam, do you have any news?"
Mu Yunhan smiled: "Yes, he is here..."
Gu Fenglin was coming soon, and she had made relevant preparations here, just waiting for the last moment.
When I woke up the next morning, the sky was overcast and it was drizzling.
It's been hot for a long time and it's rare to get cool. Normally everyone should be in a better mood.
But in fact this was not the case. Everyone was very anxious. The Imperial Guard soldiers guarding the Priest's Palace had several conflicts one after another over trivial matters.
This made Jin Liquan very unhappy and severely punished the person responsible.
When Mu Yunhan found out, he sent someone to deliver delicious food to those who were being punished.
Someone reported it, and Jin Liquan chuckled, with a hint of evil flashing in his eyes.
It was a cloudy day and it was getting dark quickly. Mu Yunhan ordered the kitchen to cook early and sent everyone back to their rooms to rest.
Jin Liquan and others were also extremely quiet.
At the fourth watch, the sharp sound of arrows suddenly sounded, and the whole city instantly became a mess.
