"The other party is very cunning."
"We have no choice but to resort to extraordinary measures."
They would kill anyone they found suspicious without asking any questions.
This method initially had some effect, and things calmed down for a while.
But the Empress Dowager fell ill because of this.
"The Empress Dowager is overworked and has too many worries," Nan Yin said after examining the body.
"I think this person is the eldest princess."
Nan Yin, relying on her keen intuition, judged that something big was about to happen and wanted to remind Madam Yun to prepare for it.
Madam Yun had actually suspected it long ago, but she dared not say it in front of the Empress Dowager. After all, she was her own daughter, and the Empress Dowager would certainly not believe what they said.
"This morning, Grand Tutor Zhou and General Xiao were assassinated on their way to court. I have a feeling something bad is going to happen."
Nan Yin and Leng Yan had already made preparations in private.
Because there appears to be a change in the Imperial Guard.
Madam Yun clenched her fists. "Is it the Eldest Princess who is trying to force the abdication?"
Nan Yin nodded. "The concubine has been brought under control. Now the Princess and Consort Liu have taken control of the Liu family and the Princess's residence."
"We need to quickly devise a solution."
At this moment, Leng Yan entered and said, "Madam, Nan Yin and I have made up our minds. We will take the three little princes and leave first. Once we leave the capital, we will meet Her Majesty the Empress."
"Because we can make sacrifices, but the children are too young."
Once the eldest princess and her husband together force the emperor to abdicate.
They definitely won't let the child off the hook.
Madam Yun was understandably anxious. "But how do we leave now?"
"The secret passage in Jiaofang Palace was supposedly sealed off by the Emperor, but it was never actually sealed off."
Only the Dragon Shadow Guards knew about this.
Murong Yu said that this secret passage should not be used unless absolutely necessary.
"Madam, now it's your turn to make the decision."
The Empress Dowager is seriously ill and has fallen into a coma.
Madam Yun glanced back at the Empress Dowager and nodded. "Alright, then who among you will take the child out of the palace?"
Nan Yin said, "I am with the Dragon Shadow Guard. Leng Yan has been in the palace the whole time. He can't leave, otherwise it will arouse the suspicion of the Eldest Princess. There are already many of their spies in the palace."
......
"Madam, the eldest princess is going to the palace to visit the Empress Dowager."
From that day on, Murong Yun was not allowed to enter the palace.
But now that the Empress Dowager is seriously ill, she has come to visit, and Madam Yun has no right to stop her.
The princess was dressed in gorgeous clothes, but she could not hide the gloomy aura emanating from her.
She stood alone on the high platform of the palace, looking down at every tree and blade of grass in the palace. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her, as if draping her in a layer of bloody light.
Below, trusted generals were preparing their troops in the courtyard, the clanging of armor mingling with the low murmur of orders.
Murong Yun narrowed her eyes slightly, calculating every step of her plan to force the emperor to abdicate tomorrow.
"Liu Lang, I'm going to the palace now. You'll meet me with your men tomorrow morning."
Liu Muyuan smiled and said, "Princess, rest assured, we have made all the arrangements. This time we will definitely succeed."
"Once you sit on the throne as Empress, the entire Great Xia will be ours."
Murong Yun knew this was a huge gamble, and failure would mean utter ruin, but years of forbearance and resentment left her with no way out.
It was the Yun family that drove the Liu family to their doom.
It was Yun Xiyue and Murong Yu who forced her into this predicament.
The candlelight flickered inside the palace.
The eldest princess turned and stepped into the hall where she had lived before leaving the palace. On the table was a map of the capital's defenses. Her finger lightly traced the location of the palace on the map, and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.
Afterwards, she arrived at the gate of Funing Palace.
The palace maids and eunuchs served him with utmost care, not daring to utter a sound, and the entire palace was shrouded in a stifling silence.
"Princess, the Empress Dowager has already retired for the night. Why don't you come again tomorrow?" Granny Su came out to greet her.
