King Xiu did not flinch: "Father, Ayou has a strong temperament and is not softer than ordinary women, but what she thinks and does is for the common people of the country. Please be merciful and spare her the death penalty."

 “Ahem, cough, cough, are you forcing me?”

 A group of people quickly knelt down and said, "I don't dare."

"What are you afraid of? If you really think about me, you won't disturb my rest!" Emperor Xingyuan was furious and drove the ministers out while coughing.

Meng Jijiu and others gathered outside the palace gate and did not leave.

 “It seems that the emperor is determined to give him death and wait for the imperial edict.”

After hearing what Meng Jijiu said, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs whispered: "Is it because you are ill and not sober?"

Meng Jijiu and Xie Zhangyuan looked at him together.

 The Minister of Hubu looked wary: "You two won't complain, right?"

Meng Jijiu sighed: "At this time, Yu Shangshu should stop joking."

“Do you two think that what I mentioned is possible?”

“Even so, what can we do?” Meng Jijiu smiled bitterly.

It can’t be said that the emperor is sick and confused now, so his will will not count?

The emperor is not unconscious. He just met with civil servants and military officers. Isn't it an offense to say so?

Xie Zhangyuan, who had been silent for the whole time, gently stroked his beard and looked in one direction: "Supposedly, Princess Zhaoyang should have received the news, so why didn't she respond?"

Princess Zhaoyang's love for Xinyou was seen by all the ministers, and they couldn't help but feel strange.

At this time, **** Li Wei was confronting Concubine Xian in Ganquan Palace.

“My dear concubine, I am just following my orders, and I hope you will cooperate.”

"Eunuch Li is acting as ordered, and I dare not interfere. But you and these eunuchs are going to search Ganquan Palace to the ground. I cannot accept it. Thanks to the great love of the emperor, I have entrusted you with the responsibility of taking care of the harem. Eunuch Li is like this Where will this put my face?"

Concubine Xian refused to let Li Wei search her. She felt that it would hurt her face. Furthermore, she was the head of the current concubines in the harem. If she easily let these servants search the palace, the other concubines would be helpless.

By then, Xin You may not be able to hide anymore.

Although Concubine Xian’s plan was good, Li Wei didn’t buy it at all: “The emperor said that Xin You must be found, and no one can stop her. Concubine Xian, your dignity can’t be greater than the emperor’s order, right?”

 “Eunuch Li!” Concubine Xian’s expression suddenly changed, and she was so angry that she couldn’t believe it.

Even if Li Wei is a great eunuch, he is nothing more than a slave to the royal family. He is so arrogant now. If he doesn't give her a little face as a concubine, will he not consider the future at all?

Or rather, the emperor's health was much worse than everyone thought - Concubine Xian still felt strange at the thought of this possibility.

Even in the worst case scenario, this Daxia is still the Chen family’s Daxia, and Li’s only servant cannot make a difference.

 “Xianfei, please give way.” Li Weiwei winked, and a group of internal servants swarmed behind him and searched everywhere.

Concubine Xian stood aside, her face ashen.

 Looking around, I found nothing.

 “My dear concubine, I’m sorry to bother you.”

Concubine Xian gritted her teeth and said, "I will go and ask the Emperor."

　　"Concubine Xian, please do as you please." At this point, Li Wei didn't even bother to say polite words, and turned around and left with all the servants.

Concubine Xian thought for a moment and walked out quickly, not to Qianqing Palace, but to Cining Palace.

Li Wei led a group of internal servants to search the next palace. Feng Nian, the commander of the Jinlin Guards guarding the palace, suddenly received an urgent report. “Sir, the soldiers from the Princess’s Mansion have surrounded the Feng Mansion!”

Feng Nian felt as if his head had been hit by a hammer. He was blank for a moment, and then he couldn't believe it: "Princess Zhaoyang?"

“Yes, it is Princess Zhaoyang who is leading the troops!”

 “She wants to rebel?” Feng Nian had not yet recovered from the strong sense of absurdity.

Whether it is his house or someone else's house that is being surrounded, this is the capital city. How can anyone dare to launch an army privately except at the emperor's command? Even Princess Zhaoyang, the emperor's biological sister, was charged with rebellion.

"Sir, Princess Zhaoyang is leading the soldiers to forcefully enter the Feng Mansion. You must make up your mind as soon as possible!" The one who ran out was a steward of the Feng Mansion. He was out of breath from running all the way and was about to cry when he said this.

Feng Nian did not bother to analyze the daring actions of Princess Zhaoyang, fearing that the old and young in the house would be killed by the other party, so he asked his subordinates to guard the palace gate and led a team of Jinlin guards to Feng's house.

Jinlin Guards are one of the imperial guards and are the main force guarding the palace. They are also responsible for protecting officials and nobles from bandits. Feng Nian led the guards to prevent Princess Zhaoyang from using private soldiers to besiege Feng's mansion. He was not afraid of being blamed.

And just when he mobilized the Jinlin Guards, a firework exploded in the air.

Outside the city gate, a dark crowd of soldiers approached the city gate, so frightened that the gatekeeper officials hurriedly lowered the gate.

“Zhao Feifan, the commander of the lower capital camp, is hereby ordered to lead his troops into the city to capture the thieves!”

The city guard official took a closer look at the person at the bottom of the city tower, and there was no doubt that he was the commander of the capital camp. He did not dare to let him go, and then carefully checked the handwriting.

He didn't know whether the handwriting on the handwriting was written by Emperor Xingyuan, but the seal representing the emperor's deployment of troops was correct.

The handwriting was OK, and the leading general knew him, so the city guard officials opened the city gate to let him go according to the rules.

It was not yet dark at this time, so many guards entered the city, and the people hurriedly avoided them regardless of their curiosity.

 The soldiers entering the city were divided into several teams and quickly headed to different destinations, while the Jinlin Guards led by Feng Nian rushed to Feng Mansion.

At this time, the Feng Mansion was under the control of the soldiers from the Princess's Mansion. The house was in a mess and the cries were loud.

Feng Nian looked at the eldest princess Zhaoyang, who was dressed in military uniform, with a pale face: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess sent out private soldiers to cause trouble?"

"Are you causing trouble?" Princess Zhaoyang smiled coldly: "Feng Nian, you are the one who caused trouble, right? I want to ask you, who is pretending to be the emperor in the palace?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in Jinlin Guards.

Feng Nian's expression changed and he said loudly: "The eldest princess Zhaoyang intends to rebel. Her nonsense is disturbing the morale of the army. Take it down immediately!"

The soldiers of the Princess's Mansion can easily control a mansion like Feng's House, but they are incomparable to the elite Jinlin Guards in terms of numbers and equipment.

 In Feng Nian's view, this was a fight without any suspense.

Just when the Jinlin Guards surrounded the soldiers of the Princess's Mansion, more guards came like a tide, sandwiching the Jinlin Guards led by Feng Nian with the soldiers of the Princess's Mansion from a mile away.

Feng Nian saw the sudden appearance of the guard whose expression changed drastically, and he recognized the leader at a glance: "Liu Zhen?"

Liu Zhen is the deputy of Zhao Feifan, the commander of the Beijing camp, and he is also a worthy figure.

“I am hereby issuing an edict that Feng Nian, commander of the Jinlin Guards, has colluded with traitors and intends to rebel, and orders the Imperial Guards of the Beijing Camp to enter the city to capture the thieves!” Liu Zhen raised his edict and shouted loudly.

Most of the Jinlin guards who really worked for Feng Nian were left in the palace by him in order to control the situation. Although the Jinlin guards who followed now also listened to his words, most of them never thought of rebelling.

 Liu Zhenliang issued an order, and the Jinlin Guards who were guarding Feng Nian were immediately in chaos.
