Shi Yuan knew that he wanted Shi Qingqian to be okay more than everyone else. But in many cases, there is no way to rely on brute force alone.

"Ke'er, you tell the family to search, Yu Linwei on the side of the Fifth Highness still don't leave the imperial city yet...... However, it is better to send someone to inform the Fifth Highness of this matter," Shi Yuan said, "I suspect that Qian'er may have been taken away by Mo Ruan's people." It's useless to be anxious now, if Qian'er is hidden in the Hou Mansion by Mo Ruan, we can only wait, waiting for a reasonable opportunity to kill it. ”

"How's that going to work!?" Shi Ke gritted his teeth and said, his fists clenched hard, "That Mo Ruan is ruthless, what if he does something to Qi'er!" ”

Shi Yuan closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, "Ke'er, you have to believe that Qi'er, she is so smart, how many times have she succeeded in saving the day......"

Now, they can only hope that Shi Qingqian's ingenuity can protect herself again.

After all, the current situation is not optimistic at all, everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, and no one can spare more energy to take care of others.

Shi Ke sighed, and sat back in his chair as if he had lost his strength, "Also...... That's all there is to it. ”

On this night, everyone was destined to sleep.

They were waiting, waiting for the morning to be clear as usual, or a terrible rainstorm, and the pressure was so overwhelming that they couldn't breathe. People have to take a deep breath to soothe their inner anxiety and uneasiness.

The next morning, almost everyone woke up early, tacitly.

In the imperial city, it seems that chaos broke out overnight, and when the ministers entered the palace to deal with government affairs according to the previous time, they suddenly found that there were more, oh no, many strange faces in this imperial city - the forbidden army.

However, they did not make any moves, they only entered the palace with weapons and garrisoned, and turned a blind eye to the ministers who entered the palace to deal with government affairs.

"What's going on!?" Shi Ke and Shi Yuan entered the palace together, and they were extremely surprised when they saw this scene.

"Hey-Prime Minister Shi, Shi Gongzi, there is going to be a big event in the imperial city today, Prime Minister Mo said, after the officials come, they will go to the main hall to gather, although we haven't been in the early court for many days, but there are some things, we still have to talk about it together......"

The person who greeted him was called Liu Deyi, although he was Shen Lun's eunuch, but he often messed with Mo Ruan and others on weekdays, and as soon as he stepped forward with a flattering smile, Shi Yuan knew that all this was from Mo Ruan's handwriting.

The fists were all swung in the face, and it would be too useless to blindly dodge it, Shi Yuan and Shi Ke glanced at each other, and the two raised their heads, and walked together to the place where they had been there with the emperor and the civil and military officials.

Everyone stood in the same position as they had been in the morning pilgrimage, but no one on the dragon chair appeared.

"Mo Ruan! What the hell do you mean by that! Shen Mi was the last to appear, followed by two forbidden soldiers with knives, who looked as if they were half-forced by the forbidden army.

Sure enough, Shen Mi walked in angrily, staring at Mo Ruan, who was not panicked at all, "You dare to let your private army go to surround the Heart Cultivation Palace!?" Who gave you the guts! ”

Shen Mi saw the forbidden army in the imperial city early in the morning, and ran to the Heart Cultivation Hall without thinking about it, but it was already surrounded by the forbidden army, and no matter what he did, the forbidden army refused to let him in. In the end, two forbidden soldiers 'invited' him to go to the main hall, so Shen Mi appeared here with an angry face.

Mo Ruan just hooked his lips and smiled, the forbidden army in the entire imperial city gave him the confidence to be so arrogant now, only to see Mo Ruan bypass Shen Mi, walked to the front, under the dragon chair, cleared his throat, and said: "Ahem - everyone, now the palace of our Yu Kingdom can be said to be facing an unprecedented crisis. The emperor is seriously ill, although there is no news from the Heart Cultivation Palace, but I believe that you, me, and everyone know it! In the current situation, the reserve has not yet been established, and the imperial court, there must be someone who comes out to control the overall situation......"

"Mo Ruan, don't talk about it! Do you know what a crime it is to secretly hide the forbidden army and bring the forbidden army into the capital!? Shen Mi scolded sharply.

"Back to His Royal Highness, the minister just watched the negligence of the guards of the imperial city in the past few days, but the minister heard about it...... Lord Bao Ying disappeared in the palace last night and has not returned home until now - the guards of the palace have been so negligent, if something goes wrong with the emperor, who can take responsibility!? Mo Ruan raised his eyebrows, with a weird smile on his face, and looked at Shi Yuan, "I brought the forbidden army in to protect the emperor's safety, as for the crime...... In the future, I will have no complaints about disposing of it! ”

Anyway, there is no future.

Shi Yuan took a step forward and retorted loudly: "This matter is not appropriate! His Royal Highness the Fifth is now the only prince of the emperor, even if the emperor can't be a director, everything should be handed over to the Fifth Highness to deal with! Prime Minister Mo is just a prime minister, how can he overstep his authority so much! ”

"I didn't say that I wouldn't let the Fifth Highness come down to take over the affairs," Mo Ruan said, "It's just that I'm doing my part to maintain the law and order in the capital." But then again, to put it mildly, now the emperor has not said anything about making His Royal Highness the fifth prince, and the edict is not clear, everything is still variable, why do I listen to Prime Minister Shi Cheng's meaning...... It seems that the Fifth Highness has been treated as a prince? ”

"The emperor is still alive and well! What kind of edict do you say," an official below scolded, "Prime Minister Mo, your ambition is so majestic, don't you plan to hide it now!?" ”

Mo Ruan really didn't plan to cover it up, then Shen Lun was already dying, if it weren't for Mo Ruan's worry that this Shen Lun still had the edict in hand, he would have sent Shen Lun on the road a long time ago.

At the time of this so-called 'edict', it was still what the little eunuch Liu Deyi said, he kept claiming that he had seen Shen Lun write something similar to the edict, which was hidden by the eunuch himself, and Liu Deyi searched many times in the Heart Cultivation Hall but could not find it. This 'edict' has become a knot in Mo Ruan's heart.

If there is no edict, then he will have 120 points of confidence to take the country into his own hands, but if there is an edict to declare Shen Mi as the king, it is difficult to guarantee that the old ministers on this side of his camp will also defect to support him.

Therefore, Mo Ruan was eager to control Shen Lun, lest the edict be obtained by others.
