Luo Tong was stunned for a moment when she suddenly heard the news. Obviously, even she did not expect such a result.
Who would have thought that the emperor would die at the hands of the queen and prince whom he wholeheartedly protected and trusted?
This has to be said to be a huge irony!
Luo Tong really didn't expect that the queen and the prince could be so cruel! It seems that they are really obsessed with that position to the point of madness!
"Has the prince announced that he has ascended the throne?" There was no need to guess. Luo Tong knew that the next step would be for the prince to announce that the emperor had died of illness and that he would ascend the throne.
"I'm ready to announce it, but... but the situation is not that simple!" Lian Ye is still a little bit unable to recover. It was such a sudden change!
At this critical moment, he did not dare to show off and quickly told Luo Tong about the urgent situation reported by the palace spies.
Only then did Luo Tong realize that this was actually a drama of a mantis stalking a cicada and an oriole behind!
Just when the queen and the prince poisoned the emperor and thought that the great Zhou Dynasty had fallen into their hands and were about to ascend to the supreme position and have great power, Duke Feng appeared.
The prince's grandfather and the queen's biological father actually took action to cut off the beard!
It turns out that over the years, the Duke of Fengguo has already ignored the prince and put all the power in his own hands!
When the prince was proud of the power he had, he didn't know that these powers had already fallen into the hands of the Duke of Fengguo!
The prince has already become a puppet!
Now that the emperor is dead, Duke Feng can entrust the prince to the throne of God and secretly control the prince. In fact, the person who really makes the decision is Duke Feng!
Unexpectedly, Duke Feng Guo had such thoughts early on! Even the backhand has been deployed!
It seems that none of these relatives are simple!
Moreover, Luo Tong dares to conclude that if the time is not right now and the situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty is unclear, the Fengguo Palace still needs the identity of the prince to stabilize the situation. Otherwise, the prince may have lost his head and is sitting on the throne of God. It will be the Lei family!
After learning the details of the accident in the palace, Luo Tong felt anxious and quickly asked: "What happened to the Queen Mother and King Qi?"
This happened suddenly, the Queen Mother should still be in Cining Palace, this is very dangerous!
As for King Wu Fengyan of Qi, his whereabouts are uncertain, and he can’t say where he is at the moment.
Lian Ye immediately replied: "The whereabouts of King Qi are unknown for the time being, but I think we will get the news soon."
"As for the Queen Mother, there is nothing going on for the time being, but she has sealed the Cining Palace on her own and mobilized all the secret guards in the palace to protect her. It should be able to last for a while."
"And now, the Lei family's focus is not on the Queen Mother. They have other more important things to prioritize."
"Prince Jin!" Luo Tong blurted out!
"That's right! For the Lei family, Prince Jin is the primary enemy, and there are several other princes after that. So compared to the Queen Mother, Prince Qi is more dangerous."
Lian Ye kept replying: "When the news came out from behind the scenes in the palace, Duke Fengguo's Mansion had already issued an order through the hands of the prince to directly mobilize the Imperial Guard to go to Prince Jin's Mansion!"
"It's so fast!" Luo Tong's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect Feng Guogong to move so fast. It seemed that he had already prepared it!
The intentions of Duke Fengguo's government have been revealed. The prince's first step has been successful. The next step is to sweep the capital and eliminate all princes and hidden dangers!
Luo Tong couldn't help frowning and asked: "Where is the prince?"
Wu Zechen did not return to Prince An's Mansion yesterday, and he is still missing today.
"The prince is not in the capital now!" Lian Ye's answer surprised Luo Tong.
"Not in the capital? Where has he gone? Is he in danger?" she asked worriedly.
"There should be no danger." Lian Ye consoled him, "The prince has gone to mobilize troops outside the city."
"The prince had noticed that the situation was not right before, so he secretly transferred some troops from the Western Army to the capital, including the Si family in the northwest and General Xi from the south. They all secretly transferred people here to prevent accidents in the capital. .”
"I just didn't expect that these adults would actually make the calculation accurately!" Lian Ye said with admiration on his face, but his expression became more solemn at the same time, "The prince left the city yesterday to take over and coordinate these troops."
"Originally, we planned to have these troops stationed concealedly near the capital in case of emergencies, but we didn't expect that such a thing would actually happen."
Luo Tong was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that Wu Zechen and the two generals Si and Xi had anticipated such a situation in advance. It had to be said that they had a more thorough understanding of the affairs of the emperor's family.
But something like this suddenly happened today. Luo Tong frowned and said, "Since Feng Guogong wants to take this opportunity to eliminate dissidents, he will definitely close the city gate to prevent people in the city from escaping!"
"If this happens, not only will we not be able to get out, but the prince... he won't be able to come back either, right?"
Lian Ye was silent, and finally nodded and confirmed: "Yes, in fact, when my subordinates came to report the matter to the princess, all the gates in the capital had been closed, and the prince had not returned yet."
Luo Tong felt enlightened and had already guessed such a result.
After all, with the importance Wu Zechen attached to himself and his children, if such a situation occurred, his first reaction would definitely be to let them leave first to ensure safety.
Since Lian Ye came to report the news, she hadn't mentioned anything about leaving, so she had already expected it.
Just when Lian Ye thought that his princess would be nervous and worried, he raised his eyes and was about to say some words of comfort, but saw that his princess's face had regained its composure.
"It won't be long before the prince gets news about what's going on in the capital, and he will definitely bring troops back to help."
"So our first priority now is to ensure the safety of our own personnel and the people, while at the same time holding back the Fengguo government and creating chaos for them, so that they cannot fully control the capital!"
Seeing his princess's firm eyes and no fear at all, Lian Ye couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart, his face returned to a solemn look, and his tone was full of determination.
"My subordinates all follow the princess' orders!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before Luo Tong could speak, another secret guard suddenly flew in and reported in a hurried tone.
"Princess Qi! The latest news just came back, the masters in Prince Jin's Mansion have disappeared. When the Imperial Guard arrived, only some rough servants were left in Prince Jin's Mansion!"
"According to reports from the informants at the north gate, many people left the city yesterday evening and early this morning. Now it seems that it is very likely that people from the Jin Palace are evacuating!"
Luo Tong couldn't help being surprised when he heard the news!
I didn't expect that King Jin's ears and eyes were so good that he ran away early!
