As soon as the sky dawned, there was still a relatively gray fish belly white over the Tianyan Palace, and at this time, it was the time of the early dynasty of Tianyan, as in any previous early dynasty, the ministers rushed in from the palace gate, and rushed to the Qianqing Hall with high spirits. At the beginning of the court, the ministers who entered the hall were lined up on both sides according to their positions, waiting for Emperor Shengde to go to the court, but waiting left and right, an hour passed, and there was no half shadow of Emperor Shengde, and the ministers were very puzzled: Today, what happened to this emperor? Something delayed? Or sick? I heard the news that he was sick before, could it be that this time his condition worsened and he couldn't go to court? They kept order, did not whisper to each other, but it was not difficult to read the information from each other's expressions.

After waiting for half an hour, I still didn't see Emperor Shengde coming, in the impression of the officials, this is the first time such a situation has occurred, Emperor Shengde is still a diligent emperor, rarely late or absent from the early dynasty, today this situation is a bit abnormal, besides, it stands to reason that the emperor has something to delay and does not come, so it should be passed on by the personal attendant, so that everyone can rest assured. It is not a way for everyone to wait for such an unknown foolishness, so someone suggested that Prime Minister Qin Youzhong go to the emperor's bedroom to find out what the situation is.

As a result, as soon as the prime minister Qin Youzhong stepped out of the hall, he was met by a group of guards wearing armor and menacing momentum. At the back of the guard team, two people followed in front of the other and one behind, one of them was Xiao Zhanlong, the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army, this person looked fierce and fierce, holding a long sword and rushing in front, a pair of copper bell eyes were looking at the bureaucrats fiercely, and behind him was the third prince Yan Yujun, his face was solemn, a pair of sharp eyes swept over the faces of the officials one by one, and began to speak: "My father is critically ill, pass on my message, this period of time, this prince will temporarily act as the government, so, during this period, please cooperate more, Handle political affairs well. ”

Hearing this shocking news, the officials were stunned, why did Emperor Shengde suddenly become critically ill? I had only heard that there was a little illness before, but looking at this soldier who was full of halls, I didn't dare to have any doubts on my face. Although all the officials were shocked without exception, if you carefully examine the expressions on the faces of the officials, you can still see some clues, the officials who support the three princes and one faction seem to have already known the result, and there is a faint smug look on their faces, while the emperor and the officials of the five princes' faction have a solemn face, knowing that this is a usurpation conspiracy, and the situation in the palace is unknown, and they are very anxious, but they are intercepted here by the five princes with heavy troops, and they dare not make any moves.

Yan Yujun was very satisfied with the reaction of the ministers, and the corners of his mouth hooked, "Since you are here today, you will discuss matters as usual and report something to this prince." ”

So, this discussion is most of the day, at the end of the court meeting, the third prince suddenly announced: "Now Longshan and Damu are eyeing Tianyan, my father is critically ill, according to the information we have received, there are still many spies mixed into my Tianyan officials, this is a critical period, in order to avoid news leakage, adverse effects on my Tianyan, and for the sake of your safety, before finding out the spies and ensuring the safety of the ministers, I will temporarily ask the ministers to move to Jingdedian." ”

The emperor and the officials of the Five Princes' faction understood that they were under house arrest, but at this time, there was no way to get out, the sword was ruthless, and hard work could not solve the problem, so they could only take one step at a time.

At this time, at the door of Luoxia Villa, a man in blue with blood stains fell at the gate of the village, Xiao Liu opened the door, saw that it was Qingquan, was taken aback, and hurriedly helped him into the courtyard gate, without waiting for Xiao Liu to ask, Qingquan said weakly: "Hurry up and take me to see Gongzi, there is something important to report." ”

Xiao Liu went to the study and reported the situation to Lin Yuelan, his face gradually became solemn, and he hurried to Zhu Yunxuan, Xiao Wu was giving medicine to Qingquan, because of the serious injury, Qingquan fell into a coma.

Lin Yuelan guessed that there should be a big change in the palace, and the fifth prince Yan Yuchi should also have an accident, otherwise, Qingquan would not have been so seriously injured.

Not long after, Qingquan finally woke up, and after waking up, he said what Lin Yuelan expected, "Childe, something big happened in the palace, the subordinates of the third prince Yan Yujun, last night Zishi suddenly surrounded the Ronghua Palace of the fifth prince with five thousand royal forest troops, there were only a thousand private guards in the palace of the five princes, outnumbered, I and the black dragon desperately protected him and finally escaped from Ronghua Palace, however, on the way out of the palace, we encountered a surprise attack by ghosts, and were chased and intercepted by them all the way, in the fight, several of us were forced to disperse, and I was seriously injured, I couldn't find the fifth prince for a while, so I returned here to report the news. ”

Lin Yuelan frowned and asked, "Isn't there still a part of the Imperial Forest Army that obeys the command of the Five Princes?" Why don't you come to the rescue...... Could it be that the Royal Forest Army has all sunset in the hands of the third prince Yan Yujun?

Because he said too much, Qingquan coughed, and after calming down his cough, he replied: "The commander of the Imperial Forest Army led by Shen Ziming has become the person of the Third Prince, and it is he who brought the Imperial Forest Army to surround the Ronghua Palace. ”

Lin Yuelan's brows were twisted into a deep knot, he had made so many deployments to prevent the three princes from plotting to usurp the throne before, not only assigning a part of the people of the Feng Sect to the five princes, but also planting a lot of eyeliner around the three princes, even the personal guards and palace maids around the Emperor Shengde were arranged by the Feng Sect, and then recommended by the five princes, they were very careful in their diet and daily life, the purpose was to minimize the danger around the emperor, but this still happened, what was the problem with this link? Puzzled, he pinched a deep red mark on his chin with his fingers.

Seeing that Lin Yuelan was silent in thought, Qingquan added: "Childe, Emperor Shengde recently favored a woman named Hongjin, this woman is not only beautiful and moving, but also has a tactful singing voice, when Emperor Shengde is in a bad mood, he comes to listen to her songs, and recently he has rested with her the most, and he also named her a nobleman. ”

Lin Yuelan's face was a little unhappy, "What did the Feng Sect do?" Why didn't such a woman investigate her origin and identity, and didn't come to report it? ”

Qingquan said helplessly: "That day, it was the death day of Emperor Shengde's biological mother, he somehow heard the woman's singing, it is said that his mother used to sing to him when he was a child, so he insisted on not listening to the persuasion of the people around him, so he went to find the woman, and found the woman in the Yuhe Pavilion by the river, and brought the woman back to his bedroom that night, the two were crooked together, and it seemed that someone was secretly protecting the woman, so we are not good to do further investigation into the identity of the woman." ”

Lin Yuelan had no last resort, but this time she missed Emperor Shengde himself, no need to guess, this noble man is the person of the third prince. Now this Emperor Shengde is afraid that he has been placed under house arrest somewhere by this new nobleman, and this is the price of his lust. At this point, it is useless to complain about him, the top priority is to find out the whereabouts of Yan Yuchi and Emperor Shengde as soon as possible and resolve the current chaos. Now, there is not much time left for them, and the three princes have not yet ascended the throne, because the jade seal and the edict of the throne have not arrived, and it is estimated that it will not take long.

He wanted to know what the specific situation in the palace was now, and was just about to send someone to the palace to inquire about the news, Qingying hurriedly came over, "Oh no, Gongzi, something happened to the palace, Emperor Shengde suddenly became critically ill, and the third prince, Yan Yujun, acted as the government and put a group of civil and military ministers under house arrest in Jingde Palace." ”

Lin Yuelan had already known a rough idea from Qingquan's mouth just now, and she had already expected this ending, so she said in a flat tone: "I already know a rough idea of this, and the people who will be placed under house arrest will only be the people from the Holy Virtue Emperor and the Five Princes' faction." ”

Qingying saw that there was not much surprise on his face, and wondered, "Could it be that Childe already knows about this?" Then, he turned his gaze to Qingquan who was lying on the couch on the side, and then he understood, walked over, and asked worriedly, "Qingquan, are you okay?" ”

Qingquan's face turned pale due to excessive blood loss, and he responded: "It's okay, it's just that he was slashed a few times and let out some blood." ”

Qingquan's words are good, this injury is really nothing to the Qingqing who lick blood at the knife all year round.

Lin Yuelan looked at Qingying and ordered: "Now the third prince is only claiming to be acting for the government, and he does not dare to directly ascend the throne and claim the emperor, it is estimated that he has not yet found the jade seal of the country, as long as he has not ascended the throne, things will be easier to do, and the top priority is to find the whereabouts of Emperor Shengde and the five princes as soon as possible." The jade seal should still be in the hands of the two of them, if they are not found as soon as possible, not only will their lives be guaranteed, but the jade seal will also fall into the hands of the three princes, and then he will forge a succession edict, and he will be able to ascend the throne in a grand manner. Without further ado, you quickly activate the men of the Wind Sect and do your best to find the whereabouts of the two of them. ”

Qingying knew that the matter was important, so she didn't dare to delay, so she immediately carried it out.

Now that the situation has taken a turn for the worse, Lin Yuelan remembered that Zhu Rongyu, this kid, should be almost poisoned, and it was time to come back to help him, and was about to write a letter to summon him back, but after thinking about it, he still gave up, and muttered in his mouth: "The people of this realm are here, how can I drag you into the water, forget it, let you go and be happy." ”

Lin Yuelan instructed Xiao Wu Haosheng to take care of Qingquan's injuries, and told a few people not to tell Situ Nanyun and others in the village what happened in the palace today, of course, not to tell others, but also worried that they would tell her about their broken mouths.

Soon after, he returned to Lanqin Temple.

At this time, Situ Nanyun woke up after a nap, looked at Lin Yuelan and said, "Husband, where have you been?" Let Yun'er wait for a while. ”

As soon as Lin Yuelan entered the room, she changed her previous solemnity, with a faint smile on her face, "Yun'er, I went outside to practice my sword for a while, why don't I come back and prepare breakfast for you, you lie down first, and breakfast will be brought to you immediately." ”

Situ Nanyun hummed, then hugged the quilt and lay down again, sleeping was her favorite thing to do, and now, she was waiting for his own husband to cook her a delicious breakfast.
