"Imperial Mother, Imperial Mother, I just received news that …"
"Imperial Son!"
Duanmu Lun spoke anxiously the moment he stepped into the imperial consort's palace, but he was interrupted before he could finish.
The woman on the main seat looked like she was in her twenties. She had meticulous makeup on and maintained her face well. There was no trace of age on her face.
Duanmu Lun saw his mother's stern face and immediately shut up. He walked to her and stood in front of her.
The imperial consort glanced at the people in the room and waved her hand. "All of you can leave. Qiu Lan, stay."
After everyone left, Qiu Lan stood at the door and looked around. After making sure that no one was around, she closed the door and nodded at the person on the high seat.
"My son, Imperial Mother has told you many times not to be so reckless. You are going to inherit the throne in the future. Are you treating my words like the wind passing by your ears?"
The imperial consort was very dissatisfied. She felt a sense of urgency after what happened recently.
In addition, her son, who she had always thought highly of, kept causing trouble. It gave her a headache.
However, he was her most beloved son after all. She could not bear to punish him.
Duanmu Lun admitted his mistake with a good attitude. "Imperial Mother, I will remember it in the future. It's just that I was too anxious this time."
"I received news that Imperial Father found out that you drugged him. The imperial physician has already found out."
If it was not such a big matter, he would not have come to the palace after having a nightmare last night.
He finally had a few days of peace, but he started to see those things again. Now that he thought about it, he felt chills all over.
The imperial consort's originally relaxed expression instantly turned cold. Her voice was also involuntarily spiced. "Where did you find out? Is it true?"
Why didn't she get the news? Could it be that the servants in the main hall …
"It's true, Imperial Mother. Yesterday, didn't I tell you that Imperial Father asked me to do something? He said that if I did it well, he would make me the Crown Prince."
"Then, Eunuch Li took the initiative to talk to me in order to please me. He was also the one who told me the news."
"He said that he didn't realize it at first. However, Imperial Father was frightened by a ghost last night and triggered the poison."
Duanmu Lun explained the matter briefly. However, he did not know that Duanmu Yurong did not directly say that the imperial consort did it.
If she had known this, perhaps the imperial concubine would not have acted so rashly.
However, this was a trap set up by Xunmi, and this was what she wanted.
Slap. The Imperial Concubine's beautiful nails were broken, and her dignified face instantly turned sinister.
She was really no different from Duanmu Yurong. They were the same kind of people.
"Mother, what should we do now?" Duanmu Lun was a little flustered. If Imperial Father really investigated, then he and Imperial Mother would definitely be in deep trouble.
He hadn't taken that position yet, so he definitely couldn't fail in such a sullen manner.
"Qiu Lan, what's the matter?" The imperial concubine was a little annoyed. When she saw Qiu Lan open the door a little and say something to someone, she became even more irritable.
Qiu Lan nodded to the person outside and handed over a small pouch before closing the door. She quickly ran to the Imperial Consort and knelt down with a panicked look on her face.
"Your Highness, it's not good. His Majesty already knows that you drugged him. He's sealing the news and secretly arranging something."
Bang! The imperial concubine fiercely kicked the small table beside her feet. It was actually exposed at this critical juncture. Damn it.
They were all members of the Qi Family. Since they were already dead, why couldn't they be more obedient?
It must be that girl from the Qi Family who pretended to be mysterious. She stroked her wrist. Since she was already exposed, she could only take action first.
"Qiu Lan, send a message to Brother and Father. Tell them to prepare to force the emperor to abdicate tonight."
A murderous look flashed across her face. She originally wanted that thing to live for another two years. Since he was rushing to die, then she couldn't blame him.
"Son, go and prepare. You'll ascend the throne tomorrow." The imperial concubine made the decision. Every man for himself.
Duanmu Lun wanted to say something, but in the end, he just nodded and left the imperial concubine's palace.
"I didn't expect the imperial concubine to be so decisive. She directly chose to ascend the throne tonight. Is she afraid of trouble?"
After reading this, Xunmi smiled and complained. There would be a good show tonight.
Although the Emperor didn't seem to have prepared anything, the secret guards he trained were not to be trifled with.
Coupled with the palace guards under his control, it was hard to say who would emerge victorious.
As for the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, it would definitely be them.
Tonight, I'm looking forward to it.
But … why did it seem like everything was done at night, especially bad things? Was it really a dark and windy night? Was it really time to kill and set fire?
"Tell Yulin to wait for a good show tonight." Playing with the peony in her hand, Xunmi smiled slyly.
"Oh right, remember to attract all the officials here. How can a good show lack an audience?"
If there was no audience, it wouldn't be easy for them to act. Therefore, they could only wrong the Emperor and the imperial concubine to be entertainers.
"Yes." Mu Jiu, who had just returned, didn't even have time to catch his breath before he sped away.
His heart was filled with tears. This master was so cruel. It was so tiring to be a subordinate.
Mu Shi, who had been hiding in the dark and didn't move, was very glad that he wasn't the one running errands. Thank goodness, thank goodness.
God knew that after chatting with them for the past few days, he was almost crippled.
After arranging everything, Xunmi and her husband appeared on the roof of the palace not far away when night fell.
Looking at the brightly lit Qinzheng Hall in front of them, it was the place where the Emperor handled his affairs. At this moment, a group of people was surrounding it from all directions.
Lying on the glazed roof, Xunmi focused on the upcoming big show of the year. Then, she looked at a certain spot on the right in front of her. Yes, the audience had all arrived.
"Xun 'er, don't go out later. Do you understand? It's dangerous. I'll take care of it."
Duanmu Yulin was paying attention to that side while paying attention to the expressions of the people around him. Seeing that her eyes were full of excitement, he hurriedly said.
He didn't want her to be in danger. He couldn't bear the slightest possibility of a threat.
Xunmi's heart of wanting to get involved was instantly dampened. Since her husband had spoken, then she would … reluctantly listen to him.
She nodded with difficulty and promised that she wouldn't cause trouble later.
Duanmu Yulin smiled and rubbed Xunmi's head. This little look of reluctance and helplessness was really too cute.
"I'll call you when I'm sure there's no danger." In the end, he couldn't bear to see her disappointed expression.
"Okay, okay. Yulin, don't worry. I'm so strong. Those scumbags are no match for me. I'll protect myself well."
Xunmi rubbed her head against her husband's shoulder and promised seriously. Under the moonlight, her eyes were filled with resplendent anticipation.
"Impudent! How dare you. "The angry roar resounded through the clouds, instantly scaring the two people who were silently looking at each other.
