The paranoid prince is crazy, but I have been quietly reborn

Chapter 197 With a special secret order, the capital has changed

The sudden sound shocked Imperial Concubine Ling's body, and her pupils dilated suddenly.

Immediately afterwards, the note with Chu Lian's name on it fell to the ground in her hand.

As soon as she turned her head, she saw the emperor who was supposed to be sleeping standing behind her.

Bending slightly, he picked up the slip of paper that fell on the ground.

The emperor has no expression on his face, no joy can be seen, his majestic eyes are slightly narrowed, looking at the imperial concubine Ling.

With his hands behind his back, he glanced at the note on the ground, then bowed slightly to pick up the note that fell on the ground, and he read a long while while holding the note.

"Prince Chulian."

The four characters were pronounced extremely slowly, each character was like a sharp knife falling on the heart of Imperial Concubine Ling.

After the emperor finished reading, he casually put the note behind his back, looked at the imperial concubine Ling with cold eyes, and his voice became a little colder.

"My concubine, who is in charge of the Sixth Palace, actually extended her hand to the former court, and entrusted all the lands and mountains of the Southern Dynasty for me?"

As soon as the words fell, the imperial concubine fell to her knees with a plop, her head drooping and her face full of horror.

It was just a split second, she hadn't been able to react yet, she just said in a trembling voice.

"Emperor, concubine"

"The concubine is just worried. Worrying about the emperor once."

"I'm worried that I won't wake up again after I fall asleep? So even Nanchao Jiangshan has made plans for me?"

The emperor snorted coldly and interrupted her.

Imperial Concubine Ling fell to the ground, trembling slightly, shaking her head unceasingly.

At this moment, her whole body is in a mess, and every plan that was originally made can be used at this moment.

Mother Tang, who was waiting outside the door, found that there had been no movement inside. She was about to come in to check the situation, but she just walked in softly, and found that the emperor had long since disappeared from the dragon couch.

After all, it was the old nanny who had served in the palace for many years. Knowing that something had happened, she quickly backed away.

It's just that she never expected that Nanny Tang just gently pushed open the main hall door and was about to send a letter to Dongchang and Chulian.

But Su Youning, who was wearing a fox fur cloak, led the people from the Empress Dowager's Hall to block the Taicheng Hall.

"Mother Tang, where are you going?"

Tang Nanny's complexion changed, and she couldn't help stepping back.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor wearing a yellow tunic came out from the inner hall, and all the other people present knelt down to salute.

"See the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

In the deep snowy night, the dim candlelight in the Taicheng Hall was stretched and reflected on Su Youning because of the opened door.

The emperor's solemn eyes fell on Su Youning.

All of today's events were planned by Su Youning alone. She first tried her best to wake up the emperor, and then dismissed everyone, kneeling in front of the emperor and begging him to play a play with her.

At this time, the emperor seemed to recall the scene when Chu Yu asked for an order to marry Su Youning, but he didn't know where his son who had gone through hardships was now?
After a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, the emperor's eyes turned firm, and he ordered in a deep voice.

"Come here, take Imperial Concubine Ling and others into custody together."

"Father, wait a minute!"

Before the emperor finished speaking, the gate of Taicheng Hall was pushed open, and a male voice came.

Immediately afterwards, there was a creaking sound of a group of people stepping on the snow.

Su Youning stood up holding the hem of her skirt, and turned around to find that Chu Lian was leading a team of guards holding long swords, her red lips were tightly pursed.

At this moment, she knew that Chu Lian was doomed, but what surprised her was that Chu Lian, who had no soldiers at hand, was able to mobilize the palace guards.

In this step, she and Chu Nan miscalculated.

Chu Lian didn't pay any attention to the expressions of the other people present, and the originally nervous mood turned into a glimmer of joy when he saw the emperor's astonished expression.

He raised his hand slightly, and the guards behind him surrounded the emperor's bedroom from the Taicheng Hall, and even Su Youning was trapped together.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Lian waved his sleeves and said in a deep voice.

"The emperor has not recovered from his serious illness, and now he is infected with a serious disease together with Princess Yu. The Southern Dynasty is experiencing an eventful autumn. From now on, the emperor and Princess Yu will be recuperating in the Taicheng Hall together."

The emperor was very angry. He pointed at Chu Lian with a trembling voice.

"How bold, how dare you!"

Imperial Concubine Ling heard the movement at some point and rushed out. She immediately understood the scene outside the bedroom, and Mother Tang stepped forward to support her.

"Why not? The emperor's son in this palace has the blessings of his ancestors and ancestors. Now that the emperor is old, it is time to abdicate."

The emperor was angry and bloody, and he was holding on to the door frame of the dormitory unsteadily. The cold wind howled, and the emperor's body, which had just recovered from a serious illness, was blown to the point of collapse.

Su Youning's heart sank for a while, but she shouldn't give up until the last moment, she hurried forward to persuade her.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry."

The Imperial Concubine Ling knew that the situation had turned against them, so she laughed, with a hint of madness on her delicate face.

"Su Youning, I really underestimated your ability, you actually learned how to lie to others."

Su Youning looked at Imperial Concubine Ling coldly. .

"If you do such a perverse thing, there will be retribution."

Chu Lian didn't want to talk to them for a while, so he stepped forward and saluted the emperor.

"Father, my son is also thinking about the Southern Dynasty. Now that the court is unstable and people's hearts are scattered, I have the confidence to gather the hearts of everyone in the Southern Dynasty. I also ask my father to write down the edict of abdication. My son will definitely not embarrass my father. "

The emperor was short of breath and gave a soft drink.

"Ridiculous, I'll just see how you take this country from my hands!"

Chu Lian smiled instead of anger, and his voice was also tingly.

"Father, I will give you one day. I hope to receive the imperial edict from you before noon tomorrow, otherwise this man in the palace will not be able to protect my father."

With such a straightforward threat, the angry emperor struggled to cough, and the cold wind blew even weaker and couldn't stand up.

"Okay, okay, I actually raised a rebellious son like you..."

Chu Lian sneered, with a trace of cruelty appearing on his face.

"Father, you must think about it for a day."

When the voice fell, he turned his head and ordered harshly.

"Please take the emperor to the main hall of the Taicheng Hall to take care of him, and take Princess Yu to the side hall."

"Without my king's order, no one is allowed to visit."

The guards present looked at each other, and no one dared to move. If they followed Chu Lian's instructions, they would be convicted of treason and treason.

"This king has a military talisman in hand, who dares not obey?"

Seeing this, Chu Lian took out the soldier talisman he had prepared and shouted loudly.

Seeing this, everyone immediately knelt down and responded.

Looking at the familiar soldier talisman in Chu Lian's hand, the emperor couldn't help shaking his head.

Taicheng Hall returned to silence again, but the situation inside had already changed.

Chu Lian and Imperial Concubine Ling, who had left the Taicheng Hall, returned to the Suiyu Hall.

"Emperor, nights are long and dreams are many, we must let the emperor write down the edict of abdication earlier."

After making the imperial concubine ponder over and over again, she analyzed with Chu Lian.

Chu Lian didn't know that he should strike while the iron is hot, but the emperor still woke up, if he obeyed and wrote the edict, it would be fine, if he didn't.
"Mother and concubine, give him a day, otherwise some people will be dissatisfied with taking his life and sitting on the throne."

The Imperial Concubine Ling nodded, it would be great if he could write down the edict of abdication.

"But what if he doesn't write?"

"Huang Er, the arrow is on the string now, but you can't do something that will be criticized by others."

Chu Lian laughed inexplicably, and said quietly after a long while.

"Mother and concubine don't worry, if he doesn't write, someone will do it for me."

The next day, the Taicheng Hall was restored as before, but there were more guards at the gate of the hall, and even the Empress Dowager sent Madam Xia to come over, but the door was closed.

Knowing from the guards that the emperor's illness has worsened, Princess Yu even contracted a serious illness during the acupuncture for the emperor, so she had to keep the Taicheng Hall under strict supervision.

"Presumptuous, don't you see where the old slave came from? The empress dowager cares about the safety of the emperor and Princess Yu. If you don't let the old slave into the palace, if the queen mother scolds you, will you be guilty?"

The guard at the gate remained unmoved.

"The slaves also obeyed the orders of the Imperial Concubine Ling and His Royal Highness Lian Wang, and please don't embarrass the slaves."

Madam Xia's face darkened, and she felt bad when she saw the closed palace gate and the extra guards at the gate.

She didn't bother with the guards outside the palace much, and quickly reported back to the Queen Mother.

The empress dowager's wrinkled face became much haggard. She held up the harem for the emperor for several days. She thought that Su Youning's arrival would make everything better, but she didn't know that the Taicheng Palace was now controlled by Imperial Concubine Ling and others.

"Grandma Xia, go out of the palace to deliver the letter to the Nanwang Mansion, hurry up, the sooner the better."

The Empress Dowager knew very well that if it was too late, the news might not get out.

But before Mother Xia exited the hall, the servants who were serving outside the hall hurried over.

Seeing the Queen Mother immediately knelt down.

"Empress Dowager, a group of guards suddenly came outside the hall, saying that the Empress Dowager had visited the Emperor in Taicheng Hall, and now Taicheng Hall is locked up due to an unknown illness, saying that our people are not allowed to enter or leave."

Nanny Xia supported the queen mother to stand up quickly. The queen mother looked angry and walked out of the bedroom quickly, but the vermilion palace door was locked from the outside.

The queen mother was short of breath, and she was a little out of breath when she spoke.

"Presumptuous, really bold, this is to lock Ai's family here."

Mammy Xia hurriedly supported the Queen Mother into the hall and sat down.

"Don't be anxious, Queen Mother. These days we go out of the palace to deliver letters to the Nanwang Mansion every day. If we don't go today, he will know that there are changes in the palace."

The queen mother sighed helplessly, but said no more.

Now, everything in this palace can only depend on God's will.

Southern Palace.

Until noon, Chu Nan hadn't seen anyone from the palace delivering a message, so he couldn't help feeling worried.

Two days ago, he received a secret letter from Su Youning, saying that he would join hands with the emperor to expose the conspiracy of Dongchang and Chulian.

Now that the time she set has passed, not only has there been no news of punishing Chu Lian from the palace, even the Queen Mother has not sent anyone to come.

Chu Nan could only send people to Prince Yu's Mansion and Su Mansion. As expected, they had lost contact with Su Youning and the Queen Mother in the palace since yesterday.

Baihu knew that things were going to be difficult, and now he persisted for several days, but there was still no news from Su Youning, so he hurriedly took out the only secret order that Chu Yu left before leaving.

Send someone to Huizhou City with the news from Kyoto. The only secret order is naturally different from ordinary secret orders. The person who carries this secret order can send out a signal wherever he goes. If there are Chu Yu's cronies within a hundred miles, they will receive it. Signal.

This person left the capital just as night fell, and sent out a signal as soon as he left the capital, and the signal quickly spread to Qingzhou City.

Zelan received the signal and responded immediately.

The person with the news knew the location of the master, so he quickly turned around and headed towards Qingzhou City.

"Master, it's Baihu. Baihu has used a special secret order. I'm afraid there will be changes in the capital."
