Miss Fortune: Is the regent ready for today?

Chapter 410 Seizing the Imperial Power
King Yuanjin of Donghai raised an army of 100,000 men, intending to rebel and usurp the throne. The bandit army passed through Penglai and Pingdu, and has now broken through Wuzhou City.

Emperor Chongwen's illness relapsed and he fell into a coma. The second prince Mingying brought four ministers into the Sulong Palace and asked to take over the government temporarily, but was rejected by Envoy An Tai.

Ming Ying was furious and he grabbed the inkstone from the table and smashed it. While An Taisi was confused, he ordered him to be thrown into the Tianlao.

In the afternoon of the same day, the third prince Ming Li fled out of the palace to Yueyang but was intercepted. The second prince Ming Ying was so cruel that he sent people to break the legs of his half brother and accused Ming Li of "deserting the battlefield."

The fifth prince Ming Le was simple-minded and did not want to compete with worldly affairs. He just said that he supported his second brother Ming Ying to take over the government temporarily, and thus he escaped the disaster.

When Jing Zhu Yunying passed the news back to Changlin Cliff, no one else in Baiqi Villa was there. The moment Chi Linjing received the note, he realized that he was willing but unable to help.

Xu Zhichen stayed at the Ningcheng headquarters, Meng Qingyue and Ming Fang have not returned yet, Yin Luo went alone to Baizhou to find Duanmu Shuo's whereabouts, Wen Ting'er needless to say, Hedong where the fifth brother Wu Zihan was located was also affected by the flood, it is said that there were heavy casualties in Mijing Valley, and Yu Ruyi was in the jurisdiction of Sijiang...

The dignified Regent of Southern Xia actually felt helpless in Daliang Jiangnan.

Chi Linjing held his forehead and sighed. Even if he received the message, what could he do? Go to Nanxia to mobilize troops to help Emperor Chongwen repel Ming Zhidu? He knew it was unrealistic without even thinking about it.

Nanxia has always advocated peace. There has not been any war within its borders. How could it possibly dispatch troops to Daliang to get involved in the mess of the previous generation of the Ming royal family?
Let him send a message to Yin Luo, asking her to come back from Baizhou? That's not quite right. What can Yin Luo do when she comes back? Bring a thousand disciples from Changlin Cliff to intercept the bandit army of Mingzhidu? Come on, the Daliang court and the martial arts world are clearly separated. Yin Luo has nothing to do with rebellion.

Then let him send a message to Yu Ruyi? Ask him to give some money to buy more supplies for the Imperial Guards? This idea was suppressed by Chi Linjing as soon as it came up. The man in green robe secretly complained: It seems that it is not my turn to make suggestions?
Oops, that’s not right. Just as Chi Linjing was about to put the note away, the figure of a woman in gorgeous purple clothes suddenly flashed before his eyes.

On the Changlin Cliff, there is Princess Ming.

Thinking of this, he walked quickly towards the courtyard at the back of the mountain holding the note, intending to complete the delivery of the message.

Ming Fanlan was very surprised when he saw him.

At that time, she was sitting in a rattan chair in the yard, leaning back, and vaguely heard the cry of a war eagle. Before she could confirm it, she saw a figure of water green moving hurriedly towards her from a distance.

This was the first time she met Qingpao without anyone else present.

His features looked familiar, just like the old friend in her memory. His beautiful peach blossom eyes were slightly closed, revealing a hint of sadness.

Seeing Ming Fanlan frowned, she stood up from the rattan chair, but paused and followed the etiquette, and called out in a proper manner: "Regent."

Chi Linjing didn't expect her to be like this, so he lowered his head and said, "You don't have to bow to me." "Junior?" Ming Fanlan repeated his words, her wide-sleeved purple dress blooming like a peony. Her eyes swept across Chi Linjing's handsome face and fell on the paper in his hand, "Is the word 'junior' based on the level of the world? Or is it based on the level that your mother is my sister?"

"For me, both are fine. It all depends on how you define it, Princess." The green robe had no intention of arguing with her. After answering, he just stared at her and handed the note to her. "Jing Zhu Yunying sent me news that they are not in the villa. I have a special status and cannot interfere in Daliang's affairs, so I thought of sending it to you. Please take a look and make your decision."

Ming Fanlan did not take the note he handed over. She stared at him steadily, the light in her eyes slightly dimmed.

"Is there something wrong in the palace? I just heard the cry of the Daliang war eagle."

Chi Linjing lowered his eyes to his outstretched hand. Seeing that Ming Fanlan had no intention of taking the note to read, he lowered his eyes and followed her words, "Yes, since you don't want to read it, I will tell you. Prince Yuanjin of Donghai has rebelled and has now invaded Wuzhou. Emperor Chongwen is in a coma, and the second prince Mingying has seized the imperial power and taken the opportunity to imprison Mei Sishi in the Heavenly Prison and break the legs of the third prince Mingli."

The second half of the sentence exploded in Ming Fanlan's head like a thunderbolt, "What? What did Ming Ying do? When the country was in crisis, he was trying to seize the imperial power and even locked Cheng Ting in the prison?! Ming Li is his brother! How could he be so cruel as to break Ming Li's leg?!"

Chi Linjing took back the note and nodded, "Now the Imperial Guards are firmly under the control of the Second Prince. If the Daliang army is sent without the help of the old ministers, it will be twice as effective to deal with the troops of Prince Yuan Jin. There are only four cities from Wuzhou to Shangjing. If there are no good soldiers to stop them along the way, the East Sea bandit army will be able to enter Shangjing in just over ten days at most!"

After listening to him, Ming Fanlan agreed and continued, "I know Ming Zhidu's strength. If he wasn't absolutely sure, he would never send out a large-scale army at this time!" After she finished speaking, she asked, "Where did Yin Luo go?"

Chi Linjing instantly understood what Yin Luo had said before he left: "Don't leave Cuizhou, otherwise, who will take over this huge place?"

He coughed twice and decided to cover for her: "The measles epidemic is spreading in Cuizhou City. She is worried about the people, so she went to Baizhou to find the old palace doctor Duanmu Shuo, asking him to treat the infected people."

"Duanmu Shuo?" Ming Fanlan felt familiar with these three words. She thought for a moment and her expression suddenly changed. "Didn't he die a long time ago?"

Chi Linjing frowned, "Dead?"

Ming Fanlan took a deep breath, trying to calm down. She looked at Chi Linjing and answered with certainty, "That's right! I can't remember it wrong. Two years ago, there was a rumor in the martial arts world that he jumped off a cliff in the Wanli Mountain Suburbs in Baizhou! He was a member of the Daliang Imperial Hospital before he made a mistake and was castrated. Although the male corpse found in the Wanli Mountain Suburbs was bitten beyond recognition by wolves, its shape was exactly the same as Duanmu Shuo's, and the male corpse happened to be incomplete, so people came to the conclusion that the person who died in the Wanli Mountain Suburbs was Duanmu Shuo."

"In that case, didn't Yin Luo make this trip in vain?"

"This girl is so impulsive!" Ming Fanlan was furious. "If it weren't for such a big incident in the palace, I would have gone to Baizhou and whipped her all the way back to Jiangnan! There's a new flood in the south, and people in Cuizhou are sick. Could it be that there are no such people in the Four Rivers? This girl doesn't think about herself at all! Why does she have to go find Duanmu Shuo? Are all the other doctors in the palace dead? If she comes to ask me or send a message back to the palace about the measles, why would I bother her?"

Chi Linjing thought for a moment, "Don't worry, just go back to the palace. I will set off to Baizhou to find her immediately and will bring her back safely! Finding a doctor may take time, but Prince Yuanjin's attempt to seize power from the Second Prince cannot be delayed." He even gave Ming Fanlan some advice, "But if the Second Prince learns that you have come to the capital, he will definitely exclude you. He has become a madman who is blinded by power, and we can't guess what he will do. When you go back this time, why don't you go to Tingxian Tower first? I will dispatch the Nie family's secret guards to protect you."

Ming Fanlan's expression was arrogant, just the same as Yin Luo's, but she had more of a heroic spirit than Yin Luo: "Am I afraid of Ming Ying? The Ming royal family doesn't keep stray dogs. He is unfilial, unfaithful, unkind, and unjust. He fought for his own selfish interests at a critical moment of national crisis. He is no longer worthy of being a member of the Ming family! I want to see, with me in charge of the palace, how can Ming Zhidu's fools attack Shangjing City!"
