Madam Yun did indeed return alone, knowing that Yun Xiyue and the others were already on their way back. Her only purpose in returning was to buy time.
"Seize her for me!" Murong Yun took a few steps back and gave the order. Instantly, the guards of Funing Palace swarmed forward.
Madam Yun showed no fear on her face. She moved nimbly and dodged the first guard's grabbing hand with a light touch.
Her gaze was calm and sharp as she scanned the gradually gathering crowd, quickly calculating her next move.
"Aren't you afraid that the Princess's rebellion will fail and her entire family will be implicated?" Madam Yun shouted, trying to distract the guards.
However, the guards were well-trained and did not hesitate because of her words; they still swung their weapons at her.
Madam Yun dodged a thrust from a longsword by sidestepping it, and then kicked a guard in the wrist. The guard cried out in pain, and the knife in his hand clattered to the ground.
But she also knew that she was outnumbered and would inevitably be captured if this continued.
So she fought and retreated, gradually approaching a corridor of Funing Palace.
Suddenly, she pulled a handful of powder from her sleeve and threw it at the guards who were chasing her the most closely.
The powder scattered, blinding the guards and throwing them into disarray. Taking advantage of the chaos, Madam Yun sped up and ran towards the corridor.
She knew the layout of the Funing Palace well. If she could get into the corridors and use the complex passages and cover, she might be able to buy some more time.
Murong Yun, her face pale with rage, glared at her intently. "Chase after her! Don't let her get away! If she escapes, none of you will live!"
Under her reprimand, the guards endured the discomfort in their eyes and continued to chase after the direction where Madam Yun had disappeared.
"Princess!"
At this moment, Su He, the commander of the Imperial Guards, arrived.
"Su He, kill her!" Murong Yun immediately gave the order.
Su He hesitated. Helping her take this step was already a great risk, as he was loyal to His Majesty. However, in his early years, before he entered the palace and rose to the position of commander of the Imperial Guards, Murong Yun had saved him.
He has never had the chance to repay this kindness.
Now he's being asked to kill the Empress's mother.
If the rebellion fails, they will all die.
It is obvious that Murong Yun will not succeed.
"Princess, Lady Yun cannot be killed." Su He simply had people block Lady Yun's escape route, forcing her into the Empress Dowager's palace, where they were all placed under house arrest.
Murong Yun scoffed, "What's there to be afraid of? Murong Yu isn't in the capital."
Su He thought she was a complete idiot and regretted going along with her. "Princess, the Emperor is not in the capital. He's not dead!"
"News from the capital will reach the border. Leng Yan and the Dragon Shadow Guards have disappeared. They escorted the young prince out of the capital."
Once the prince and empress reunite and return to the capital, it will be considered a rebellion.
"Then what do you suggest we do?" Murong Yun was filled with resentment, but for the sake of the throne, she could only refrain from killing Madam Yun for the time being.
"Now that Lady Yun and the Empress Dowager are in our hands, we are not afraid that the Empress will not submit."
Let's not even talk about successfully forcing someone to take power.
At the very least, they need to get a promise from Yun Xiyue, that she will forgive them and spare their lives.
Murong Yun, unaware of Su He's true intentions, assumed he intended to use Madam Yun to threaten Yun Xiyue. "You're right," she said, "I heard Yun Xiyue is pregnant! As long as she returns, we won't need those three bastards to threaten Murong Yu. Murong Yu can't die now; I still need him to help me conquer the world!"
Su He felt embarrassed. "Well, please calm down, Princess."
"Let's go to court first." With that, Murong Yun turned and went into the palace to take the Empress Dowager to court and continue announcing the imperial edict.
