When the blood-clothed guards rushed to the palace, Yan Ci was standing in front of the emperor's bed, and he bowed to the emperor.

"My son, I have seen my father."

The emperor was so ill that his old eyes were dizzy. He looked at the words in front of him wearing the prince's official robe and did not react for a long time.

She helped him tuck in the quilt with very considerate words, "Father, please rest in peace and recuperate. You can leave the affairs of the government to your sons and ministers."

The emperor finally regained his composure, his eyes were cracked, "Yanci, are you planning to rebel?"

"Xiao Jingyi was the prince you personally anointed back then. You are now seriously ill and the other sons are not living up to expectations. It is reasonable and reasonable for the prince to supervise the country. How can we talk about rebellion?"

"You're talking nonsense, that kid died more than ten years ago!"

"Father, not only am I not dead, but when you killed my mother, I was under that bed and saw you kill my mother with my own eyes!"

The emperor remembered his nightmare, and his hands and feet instantly became cold. He couldn't help but rush over and grab Yan Ci, but Yan Ci nimbly dodged it.

The emperor missed the opportunity and fell directly to the ground.

"Come here! Come here for me!"

"Father, I advise you not to waste your efforts. You should know better than anyone else that everyone in the palace now listens to me." Yan Ci smiled slightly, "These powers are all yours. A little, delivered to me."

The emperor fell to the ground in embarrassment, but he suddenly calmed down and his face was ashen.

"Even if you control the inner prison, the imperial guards, and the red-clothed guards, the whole court, as well as the pure ministers of Taifu Lu, have always refused to deal with you. They will definitely not listen to you!" The banquet laughed slowly, " Father, are you old and confused? What Taifu Lu and the others hate are the nine thousand year old banquet speeches, not Xiao Jingyi!"

The emperor was completely dumbfounded. His eyes were dull, as if he didn't know why things turned out like this.

After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and raised his head, his eyes filled with indifference and haze.

"You are indeed my best son! You have been smart since you were a child, and you learn everything quickly. You are good at both civil and military skills, and you have a photographic memory. Taifu Lu and the others even praised you for your foresight and broad-mindedness."

Yanci squatted in front of him, "Then why do you still have to kill me?"

"Xiao Yi, you can't blame Father! If you want to blame, blame the Mu family! Who made them intend to rebel!"

"You're talking nonsense! The Mu family is full of loyal ministers and generals. They have dedicated their lives to protecting the Zhou Dynasty for many years. But because of your words, they were all loyal and treasonous, and all of them were killed! You Euphemistically, I spared my uncle’s life, but then sent another person to the north to kill him!”

When the emperor heard this, he suddenly raised his head, "Don't blame me! It's all their own fault! They were the ones who killed Ning Yan! If it weren't for their troubles, you would have always been the crown prince, and I will train you well in the future. I will pass the throne to you!"

Yan Ci frowned, "I don't care about your throne! Until now, you are still making excuses, but don't worry, I will definitely find the real reason!"

He turned around and walked out, but behind him came the emperor's lunatic laughter.

"Hahaha, as a Yanci, you have been with me for so many years, but haven't you found out yet?"

Yanci paused for a moment, then turned around with a smile on his face.

"Since you said that, it really proves that there is indeed a hidden secret to what happened back then. And, I'm afraid it's still a big deal!"

emperor:"……"

Yan Ci turned around and walked out, the smile on his face fading away little by little.

If you want to avenge the Mu family, you must know what happened back then.

The emperor was more determined than he thought.

Even using the spices that Wenwan specially made to mess with people's minds and make them speak the truth won't work.

But Yan Ci didn't believe it. There was no clue left at all about what he did back then!

Although I still didn't get any useful information from the emperor about today's matter, fortunately, the minister finally got through the clear path smoothly.

In a few days, Gu Entai can take action against Daliang and Jamel Xiao.

At this time, the blood-clothed guard who returned to the Governor's Mansion came to the banquet and said with cupped hands: "To inform the Governor, there is nothing going on in the mansion for the time being. However, Master Tianxuan said that when you are done with your work, you should go home as soon as possible. Madam was originally She’s due to give birth in the next two days.”

As soon as he heard the banquet speech, his expression changed instantly!

If nothing happened, Tianxuan would not have said anything else and said the following words!

Could it be that Huanwan is about to give birth?

The eunuch Chengfeng cupped his hands and said: "Master, all the ministers are already waiting for you in the banquet hall. Just now, Taifu Lu told the ministers that you are His Highness the Crown Prince. Now most of the ministers have believed this. It’s something, but some people think it’s too weird.”

Yanci nodded and walked toward the banquet hall.

When he appeared, all the ministers stood up quickly and bowed their hands to him.

"I have seen His Royal Highness!"

This address was obviously much more sincere.

In fact, Yan Ci knew that he should strike while the iron was hot and win over these people's hearts and minds, but he was more thinking about Wenwan who was giving birth to a child at home!

So the banquet speech was facing everyone, and he slightly cupped his hands and said: "Today is the welcome banquet for everyone. I should have a good time with all the ministers. However, there is something at home, so I have to rush back. Today's banquet, I will definitely be there next time Make up for it. After you have had your fill of wine and food, you can leave the palace and return home on your own."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

I didn’t expect this to happen!

Even the confidants at the banquet looked at each other.

What happened in the house that would cause the Lord to rush back without caring about it?

After finishing the banquet speech, he turned around and left.

Other ministers went to ask Taifu Lu what was going on, but Taifu Lu also looked confused.

After all, this banquet is the best opportunity for His Royal Highness to win over people's hearts!

Jiang Yushi whispered to Taifu Lu: "Taifu, do we want to go and see His Majesty? Even if the banquet address is His Highness, I haven't seen His Majesty for a long time..."

He didn't need to say the second half of the sentence, anyone would understand it.

Although everything His Highness the Crown Prince said is reasonable, there is no guarantee that His Majesty is now under house arrest.

Taifu Lu was a loyal minister after all. He was also worried about His Majesty's situation and nodded, "Okay, let's eat something quickly, and then go to the back to see His Majesty."

"Okay." After hearing this, Ji Chengfeng followed suit silently.

As expected, after these people left the banquet hall, they were stopped. The smile on Zhao Fuan's face was like a blooming chrysanthemum.

"My lords, Your Majesty is unwell and has rested. You don't need to visit. Your Majesty has left a verbal message. If you have any government affairs, just contact His Highness the Crown Prince."

Taifu Lu and others: "..."

But no matter what they think, there are so many blood-clad guards and internal prisoners around them. No matter what they do, they, the ministers, cannot force their way into His Majesty's palace.

Taifu Lu cupped his hands and said, "Since Your Majesty is resting, I will not disturb Your Majesty."

They all bowed in the direction of the palace, wished His Majesty a speedy recovery, and then turned around and left.

No one is a fool. In this situation, it is better to return home quickly!

Taifu Lu left the palace and got into his carriage, when he suddenly remembered something!

Since the address of the banquet was His Highness the Crown Prince, and he was also a fake eunuch, what did he mean when he planned to rob their Jialan family?
