At the moment when Chu Yu's men and horses slowly drove into Qingzhou City, great changes occurred in the Kyoto Imperial Palace.

Since Su Youning designed to enter the palace, she would go to the Taicheng Hall every day to administer needles, smoke medicines, and feed medicines to the emperor with the imperial doctors.

The Queen Mother will also come every day to inquire about the progress of the treatment of the emperor.

The people who ordered the imperial concubine to be placed next to Su Youning followed her in and out of the Taicheng Hall every day, and went back and forth between the Taicheng Hall and the Tai Hospital according to her instructions.

Every day after Su Youning returned to the Broken Jade Palace, they would quietly report the emperor's situation to Mama Tang on time, and then Mama Tang would return to Emperor Ling's concubine.

Su Youning has been in the palace for five days, and as the emperor sleeps for a long time, there are more and more rumors in the harem and in the streets and alleys.

Some people say that the emperor has been mourned, but now that the Southern Dynasty is experiencing the most difficult time of the year, the palace conceals the news of the emperor's funeral in order to stabilize the situation in the Southern Dynasty.

Some people say that the emperor is controlled, and the one who controls the emperor is Princess Yu of King Yu's mansion, the reason is just that the emperor allowed His Royal Highness King Yu to leave Beijing to patrol the city, causing him to lose his life.

These rumors circulated among the palace maids, Su Youning just didn't hear it, but when those people said that His Royal Highness King Yu had lost his life, she was distressed after all.

Every day she woke up in a tangle and struggle, and she knew that as time passed, the chances of Chu Yu being safe and sound would become smaller and smaller.

Chu Nan came to Taicheng Hall twice with the Queen Mother, and when the two looked at each other, Chu Nan always shook her head slightly, she knew that there was no news of Chu Yu outside the palace.

After being heartbroken and desperate again and again, Su Youning will regain her mood.

As long as she didn't hear the news of Chu Yu's death for a day, as long as she didn't see Chu Yu for a day, she believed that Chu Yu was still alive.

And what she has to do is to hold on, for Chu Yu, for the Queen Mother, for the Emperor and for the Southern Dynasty.

Three days ago, Chu Nan entered the palace and asked Mama Xia, who was next to the Queen Mother, to bring the news.

After Su Youning heard the news, he knew that the time was ripe.

Two days ago, in the Taicheng Palace, the emperor suddenly woke up and even opened his mouth to talk to Su Youning.

This scene was completely watched by the two eunuchs who followed Su Youning, and the news fell to Mama Tang's ears that night.

Knowing that the emperor had woken up, and even opened his mouth to talk to Su Youning, Mama Tang's face frowned.

Without a moment's delay, Mama Tang immediately sent the news back to the imperial concubine, she couldn't help but panic, and called Chu Lian into the palace overnight, saying that she was sick and called Chu Lian into the palace, and she needed to discuss it with her son.

Broken jade hall, in the palace of the imperial concubine.

"Lian'er, where did you get the medicine, why did the emperor come to his senses so easily?"

made the imperial concubine's tone difficult to hide her anxiety, and even had a hint of complaint.

Chu Lian originally heard that his mother was seriously ill and came on a snowy night, but now he was very relieved to see that his mother was intact, but when he heard that the emperor was sober, his face sank.

"This is impossible, are you mistaken, mother?"

Ling Imperial Concubine stood up, looked at the heavy snow outside the hall with cold eyes, and said word by word.

"There can be no mistake."

"The people sent by this palace are all credible people, and they have all heard the emperor speak with their own ears, although it is only a short sentence, but this is clearly a precursor to improvement."

Chu Lian's face became more and more gloomy, and after thinking for a moment, he stepped forward and bowed.

"Mother, since my father is showing signs of improvement, it is better for us to strike first."

The imperial concubine was stunned, looked back at Chu Lian, and asked in disbelief.

"You mean to pretend to be a li?"

Chu Lian bowed slightly, his face solemn.

"You just need to put the name of your son in the box behind the portrait of the ancestor of Taicheng Palace, and then Li Chu will be decided."

"It's too risky, if someone finds out"

The imperial concubine shook her head again and again.

Chu Lian felt that this was the best way now, and persuaded patiently.

"Mother, if my father wakes up, we will not only miss such a good opportunity, but we may also be found out that we have harmed our father."

"And there is also a thing, the army sent to Huizhou for disaster relief guarded Huizhou City, neither entering the city for disaster relief nor preventing Chu Yu from leaving, but Huizhou City is like an iron bucket, no news can come out, the people sent in are either frozen to death or starved to death, I don't know if he is dead or alive, but his legs are good, his father has always valued him, if he comes back, is there a foothold for his sons in Kyoto?"

Chu Lian's words made the imperial concubine's heart go to the heart, she didn't want her son to ascend to a high position, but she was still a little hesitant.

"But our plan is not at this moment, everything is not arranged now, and there is no appointment in the soldiers and horses in Kyoto, even if you put your name in the brocade box behind the portrait, as long as the emperor wakes up, he will easily demolish us."

Concubine Ling analyzed the current situation, looking at Chu Lian with a ruthless expression, she subconsciously asked.

"Don't you want the emperor to do it now"

Dongchang Wan Guiquan has already stated that if he wants Chu Lian to sit in a high position, only the emperor will die, otherwise with the emperor's preference for Chu Yu's personality, Chu Lian will not have a chance.

This is also the main reason why the Imperial Concubine, Chu Lian and Dongchang joined forces.

The imperial concubine has actually been ready to kill the emperor for a long time, but unfortunately now they have few people in their hands, there are royal forest troops in the palace and the Gong Guard Division escort team, once the emperor dies, the queen mother and Chu Nan faction will also come out to prevent the implementation of their plan.

Chu Lian suddenly laughed.

"The mother doesn't have to worry, even if someone opposes it then, it won't help."

The imperial concubine was stunned.

"Why?"

Chu Lian suddenly bowed his hand to the imperial concubine and said.

"I have to thank my mother for her foresight, knowing that Mu Qingshu had an affair with the daughter of the Lin Mansion, so that the sons married that Lin Yiman early, and now Lin Yiman really pulled the line and built a bridge for the sons, and the soldiers and horses in the general's mansion will be used by the sons."

The imperial concubine's face was happy, and she grabbed Chu Lian's hand and asked.

"Is that serious?"

Chu Lian bowed slightly, his eyes flashing with greed.

"Don't worry, the concubine is naturally serious."

The rebellion plan flew through Chu Lian's mind, and while the emperor was not fully awake, put his name into the portrait, let the emperor bury him, and then announce his name in the brocade box to the world, if anyone did not obey, send troops to suppress it.

Imperial Concubine Ling naturally wanted to see this scene, and a smile finally appeared on her face.

"Okay, your name is put in by the main palace, you just need to appease the people in the general's mansion."

"In addition, go to Dongchang again, let Wan Guiquan find some people to mix in the palace, since the matter has come to this point, Su Youning doesn't have to stay anymore, and it can be regarded as a favor that you sold to Wan Guiquan."

Chu Lian replied and exited the dormitory.

The imperial concubine slowly paced to the door of the dormitory, wearing a thin dress, and she only wore a cloak.

But she didn't feel cold at all, but her whole body was boiling, looking at the heavy snow falling one after another, which made a cold smile appear on the imperial concubine's face.

She's finally waiting for this moment!

Her son will ascend to the throne of the Son of Heaven in the Southern Dynasty, and she will be the most noble Queen Mother of the Southern Dynasty!

When Wan Guiquan of Dongchang heard the news, he looked at Chu Lian with a cold smile.

"Since the plan is in advance, then our family naturally wants to congratulate His Royal Highness King Lian."

A smile appeared on Chu Lian's face.

"Tomorrow, you brought people into the palace, the glory of the East Factory in the past is not there, and Wan Dugong will have revenge and revenge tomorrow."

Wan Guiquan understood what Chu Lian meant.

Chu Yu's bloodbath in Dongchang is a thorn in Wan Guiquan's heart, the deeper it pierces, if he doesn't destroy Chu Yu's love, he can't be blind to death.

Chu Lian proudly left the East Factory, and even when he spoke just now, it seemed as if he had given the East Factory a great favor.

The newly promoted steward and eunuch of the East Factory frowned and whispered beside Wan Guiquan.

"Duke, now these princes are becoming more and more unruly, and they don't even pay attention to Dongchang at all."

Wan Guiquan raised his eyebrows, glanced at the eunuch bowing beside him, and did not speak.

His words were true, Wan Guiquan remembered that only Chu Wenhui respectfully called him Wan Dugong, and the rest of the princes had no respect for him.

"Our family is just a eunuch!"

Wan Guiquan said this, but his gloomy and terrifying eyes had already narrowed slightly, looking at the direction Chu Lian had left, his hands clenched into fists.

"Even if the Southern Dynasty changes the sky, the Duke is also a human being."

Listening to the steward eunuch on the side patting the horse, Wan Guiquan sneered.

"Let him be happy for a few days, and when the East Factory rests, he will definitely take back the things that are gone."

The plan of the Imperial Concubine and Chu Lian was in full swing.

The day after Su Youning received the news from Chu Nan.

The imperial concubine ignored the heavy snow early in the morning and took Mama Tang to ask the queen mother.

"Queen Mother, today is the day when the concubines enter the palace, and the concubines feel heartache every time they think of the emperor, please allow the queen mother to allow the concubines to go to the Taicheng Palace today to serve the emperor for a day."

The Queen Mother twisted the Buddha beads, raised her eyes and looked at the Imperial Concubine Ling, who was kneeling on the ground and crying, with a trace of impatience on her face.

"Okay, there hasn't been an accident in the palace now, what kind of system is it to cry like this, if you want to serve the disease, it's up to you."

The imperial concubine lowered her head slightly, and after listening to the words of the queen mother, the corners of her mouth raised, and she looked sad when she raised her eyes.

"Concubine, thank you Queen Mother."

For a whole day, the imperial concubine was half-kneeling in front of the dragon couch, watching Su Youning carefully administer needles to the emperor, and personally feeding the emperor with medicine.

There was no mistake or omission in every step, which made the imperial concubine even more determined to put her son's name in the brocade box today.

It wasn't until night that Su Youning and the imperial doctors were ready to get up and leave.

Seeing this, the imperial concubine said coldly.

"Today, the Queen Mother allowed the palace to serve here, and you have all worked hard for a day, step down, and leave the rest to the palace."

Su Youning's face was calm, and he withdrew from the Taicheng Hall with the imperial doctors.

Night slowly fell, Su Youning, who walked to the door of Taicheng Palace, turned around and forgot to glance at the direction of the main hall, the little hands in the wide sleeves were cold by the wind, but the eyes were full of firmness.

Silently meditate in my heart, soon, soon!

Late at night, in the main hall of Taicheng Palace, the emperor fell asleep with his eyes closed.

The eunuchs and palace maids who were supposed to serve here were all kicked out by the imperial concubine, and she took out a note from the cuffs of the wide palace clothes.

The note was unfolded, and there were only a few short words on it: The prince of the Southern Dynasty was Chu Lian.

The imperial concubine trembled and pushed the emperor on the couch, and after seeing that he didn't react, she walked lightly to the portrait of the ancestor of the Southern Dynasty behind the dragon and phoenix screen.

Reaching out to take off the portrait, then taking off the box inside, opening the empty box made the imperial concubine smile slightly.

"Do you want me to help you?"
