"Why does mother suddenly trust Jinyang so much?" Nankang asked in surprise, "Should we urgently recruit him to Jiankang to bring order?"

"One is that the nobles persecuted too much this time, and the other is because after the death of my uncle, there is really no one around him." Luling sighed quietly and said, "After all, he is your husband, and he is half of the family. Mother does not believe in loyalty. Who else can this prince-in-law rely on?"

"Indeed." Nankang thought for a moment and did not continue to ask.

Of course, she was not completely unaware of Cheng Jinyang and the shogunate's follow-up plans.

It's just that the Jin Empire has reached this point, and the Sima family's rule has long since sunk, so she won't force her husband to forcibly renew her brother's political status.

My younger brother doesn't want to be the emperor anyway, and continuing to stay in that position will only bring more dangers.

In any case, fortunately Jinyang is here, at least he can protect his mother and younger brother...

Just as the two of them were thinking this, they suddenly received an alarm from the palace.

Someone assassinated the Queen Mother!

Nankang and Luling were shocked when they heard this, and hurried to Taicheng. They saw a large number of Jiankang college students gathered around Xuanwu Gate, some holding banners, some holding slogans, and some shouting slogans, demanding that the imperial court Withdraw the title and posthumous title given to Yu Yuangui.

"I'm going to disperse them!" Lu Ling immediately planned to take action, but was stopped by his sister, "No, these are just chess pieces to hide from others, the key is still in the palace!"

The two rushed into the palace city and saw that the number of guards patrolling the area was nearly three times more than usual.

Many courtiers stood anxiously outside the main entrance, but were blocked by a large number of royal guards. Only a few important ministers were able to enter.

The two sisters immediately turned to the side door, passed through the strict guard of the guards, and soon arrived at the palace where Queen Mother Yu lived daily.

Seeing Empress Dowager Yu sitting on a chair, Uncle Yu and several ministers standing beside her, with undisguised expressions of sullenness on their faces, Luling, Nankang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, they soon noticed that almost all of the cabinet ministers present were celebrities from common people, but none of the ministers from noble families or noble families were standing here.

Nankang was immediately keenly aware that the conflict between his mother and the noble clan had been intensified to the surface.

"How's it going?" She came to her mother and asked with concern.

"The murderer was a maid. She fled after a hasty assassination attempt failed." Uncle Yu pre-answered, "He has been shot dead in the backyard. It is not certain whether there are any accomplices. The Jin Yiwei people are still under martial law to investigate."

"What about the murderer's identity and relationships?"

"A man from Kuaiji, born as a commoner, worked in the palace for almost 16 years." Yu Shuyu continued, "Both parents are dead, and there is only one brother-in-law, and he passed away three years ago."

"Social relations are handled very cleanly." Lu Ling sneered, "If I guess correctly, her so-called parents and brother-in-law are all fake relatives."

"We will check this." Uncle Yu said with a sigh.

"In any case, fortunately, my mother is fine, which is the greatest blessing." The eldest princess of Nankang noticed that her mother's face was extremely pale. She felt both disbelief and anger at being almost assassinated, as well as the shock and fear of the rest of her life. " It’s just the cabinet ministers outside…”

"No!" Queen Mother Yu said immediately, "Let them go home!"

"Your Majesty is assassinated. If you don't see the court officials, they may not be willing to rest." A cabinet minister said.

The reason is also very simple: the Queen Mother was assassinated, but only a few ministers were seen, but no foreign ministers were seen. The foreign ministers must be worried that the Queen Mother has actually met a tragic accident, and the news of her death has been concealed by these ministers in order to plot evil.

"Then let's have a video conference!" Queen Mother Yu said angrily.

Everyone:………………

We're all on video now, what's the difference from going out to meet each other?

But the Queen Mother is still the Queen Mother after all, so if she is a bit arrogant and temperamental, everyone can only tolerate her.

So I hurried over to find the technical staff and prepared to hold a video conference.

As soon as the ministers left, Queen Mother Yu immediately grabbed her daughter's hand and said anxiously:

"When will the consort come?"

"Already on the way." Nankang patted his mother's hand and said comfortingly.

In fact, if you are really in a hurry, just ask Ye Ru to teleport over.

It's just that Ye Ru's existence is hard to explain, so Cheng Jinyang just brought some elite guards from Beifu and came over by boat from Jingkou.

The two sisters stayed with their mother for a long time before reluctantly coaxing Queen Mother Yu to take a nap.

Then he turned to his younger brother.

When I arrived at the imperial study room, I realized that the little emperor had been so frightened that he had locked himself in the room, and the maids refused to open the door no matter who they called.

"Ayan!" Nan Kang knocked on the door outside, "Open the door quickly, I am your sister!"

"Don't open it!" The little emperor shivered inside, "How do you prove that you are not an assassin!"

"Can't you hear my voice?" Princess Sister said dumbfoundingly.

"Maybe the assassin used a voice changer!" the little emperor shouted, "unless we video!"

Luling:………………

The mother and son are exactly the same.

She impatiently stepped forward, kicked open the door of the royal study, and then took the little emperor out.

"They are really two sisters!" The little emperor hugged the two of them from Nankang Luling and cried out, "When will brother-in-law come!"

"Whose brother-in-law are you talking about?" Luling immediately blushed, "That's your eldest sister's brother-in-law!"

"I'm talking about the eldest sister's brother-in-law." The little emperor said in surprise.

"Ahem, cough, cough." Luling coughed and cast a signaling look at Nankang.

So the princess sister comforted him and said:

"He has led his troops up the river and will arrive in Jiankang today."

"It's so good, it's so good." The little emperor murmured, "I heard that the Beifu Army is a special force in the army. They can fight twenty with their bare hands. My brother-in-law relied on them to fight in the north and south, and he defeated Chengdu in half a month and pacified it. From Sichuan and Shu... with my brother-in-law's Beifu army here, Jiankang will definitely have no worries this time."

"What's one against twenty?" Lu Ling sneered from the side, "No matter how elite the Beifu Army is, they are just ordinary people. How can it be possible that one against twenty? It's not bad to be able to fight one against two. But your brother-in-law is already in the second rank now, don't It's no problem to say that one against twenty can destroy an entire city with one hand."

"Really?" The little emperor immediately became excited, "The highest rank among the five surnamed families is only the third rank. Could it be that my brother-in-law is better than them all?"

"That's right." Nan Kang said reservedly, "Anyway, your brother-in-law will be here soon, so don't be too frightened, so as not to worry your mother."

"Okay, okay." The little emperor called the maid and went back to the bedroom to change clothes.

He had previously heard that his mother had been assassinated in the palace. He thought it was the nobles who sent people to fight in. He was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat and was already sticky by now.

Cheng Jinyang, with his elite troops, quickly arrived at the north bank of Jiankang by river ship and rushed through Xuanwu District to Taicheng.

He had been shocked when he heard that Empress Dowager Yu had been assassinated.

You know, if Empress Dowager Yu and the young emperor suddenly die, the future of the empire's government will completely turn into the unknown realm of chaos... Fortunately, it is just a false alarm.

No matter which aristocratic family leader is behind this, he is probably just trying to intimidate the Queen Mother and muddy the waters, and does not really want to disrupt the current situation.

He led his troops to the Xuanwu Gate. When the large crowd that originally blocked the gate saw the troops, they immediately dispersed without stopping. Banners and slogans were thrown everywhere.

These people... who are they?
