The queen mother then snapped at the guards: "Don't take her down yet!"

Unfortunately, the guards didn't listen to her orders at all.

Only then did the queen mother realize that these guards had been replaced. She looked coldly at Concubine Song who was standing beside her, "Why, are you plotting rebellion?"

Concubine Song sneered, and said, "Empress Dowager, are you confused? How can this be counted as treason?"

The queen mother knew that the Song family was an important minister in the court and held military power. Although it was weakened now, it was still a very troublesome existence. At the beginning, she had reminded the emperor to be more wary of the Song family.

The queen mother was silent for a moment, and asked, "How is the emperor now?"

Concubine Song sneered, "The empress dowager has been guarding the emperor's place all the time, how could she not know how the emperor's condition is?"

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, and said: "As long as the emperor is safe, Aijia promises not to pursue it."

"Heh... the empress dowager is very straightforward." Song Guifei smiled sarcastically and said, "It's a pity that the emperor is in danger now."

The Empress Dowager's face changed abruptly, and she glared at her angrily, "You are talking nonsense."

Concubine Song ignored her, and continued: "The imperial doctors in the imperial hospital are helpless, only the concubine can save the emperor's life."

The queen mother tensed up, "Are you willing to save the emperor?"

"The concubine is naturally... unwilling!" Concubine Song said slowly.

The Empress Dowager's face suddenly became cloudy, and she wished to tear the face in front of her.

"Song Guifei, the Ai family will give you one last chance, hand over the antidote immediately."

Concubine Song shrugged her shoulders and said: "The empress dowager's words made the concubine very chilling. How many things have the concubine done for the emperor? But you are always on guard against the Song family and me!"

"I will get to where I am today, and you are the ones who forced me to be what I am today!" Concubine Song picked up the teacup on the table and threw it on the ground.

The queen mother sat calmly on the chair, looked at the angry man and asked, "Then how did you frame Taifu Shen?"

"Teacher Shen is just a stubborn old man. He has been speaking before the emperor, telling the emperor to beware of the great achievements of the Song family. How could I let him go, let alone..."

Concubine Song sneered, squinted at the Queen Mother, with a sarcastic arc on her mouth, and said: "I just tampered with the official bank and forged a few letters, and the emperor became suspicious of Taifu Shen. In the end, it was all my fault." The emperor is very suspicious."

The empress dowager's eyes narrowed slightly, and she wanted to ask a few more questions, but she held back in the end.

Concubine Song smiled triumphantly, and continued: "Do you know, Empress Dowager? I have learned how to govern the country from my father since I was a child. It's a pity... I'm just a daughter."

Concubine Song mocked and laughed at herself: "I thought my ability was enough to support the entire Song clan, but who knows, I don't even have the qualifications to be the mother of the world, and even rely on insidious means to compete for favor."

The Queen Mother frowned, and said in a deep voice, "What exactly do you want?"

Song Guifei smiled slightly, and said: "This concubine would like to ask the Queen Mother to help me!"

The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "Don't even think about it!"

Concubine Song was not angry at all, she smiled softly and said: "If the Empress Dowager refuses, the Emperor may not survive tonight."

The Empress Dowager stood up abruptly with murderous intent in her eyes.

Concubine Song still had a calm demeanor, "Don't forget, Empress Dowager, I hold the life of the emperor in my hands, so if you still want to anger my emperor, you must agree to me."

"You threatened Aijia?"

"The concubine dare not, I only hope that the Queen Mother will be fulfilled!"

The queen mother was silent for a moment, waved her sleeves and left.

As soon as she turned around, Concubine Song shouted: "Come here!"

The two hidden guards landed in front of her silently, and whispered: "Your Majesty!"

Concubine Song ordered: "Send someone to guard the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

The queen mother turned around when she heard the voice, and saw her leading people away, her face was unpredictable.

……

In the middle of the night, a group of men in black suddenly appeared on the city wall, directly killed all the city guards, and then changed into their clothes to patrol around.

And in a house, Lu Nanzhi made a painful sound, and a Gu worm with a big stomach crawled out of her chest. Ye Jinran broke it in the palm of her hand, and used blood to attract the Gu worm into her body.

It was only when the Gu worms entered completely that she slumped on the ground weakly, her complexion pale without a trace of blood.

Lu Nanzhi fainted on the bed. Chen Xi came to support the weak man on the ground. Seeing his pain, he immediately gave an injection. Seeing that the man was gradually calming down, he was relieved. Shen Lanze bandaged Lu Nanzhi's wound.

After some operations, the outside gradually turned white, and Chenxi wiped the sweat from his forehead wearily.

Lu Nanzhi woke up leisurely and saw three pairs of eyes staring at him in the room. He was frightened and stunned, and he reacted and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Just wake up." Ye Jinran let go of her heart, and it was time for her to leave.

Chen Xi glanced at her, then turned and left.

There were only the two of them left in the room, and Shen Lanze hugged Lu Nanzhi who had recovered to normal. This feeling of lost and found made him dare not let go.

Just when they met each other and smiled, Han Feng ran over in a hurry, "It's not good, Mr. Shen, something happened."

Shen Lanze rushed out when he heard the voice, and asked out of breath, "What's going on? What happened?"

Han Feng held his arm and said: "Rebellion, Concubine Song is going to plot rebellion!"

"The Fifth Highness and the Empress Dowager are imprisoned in the palace. Now the guards in the palace have been replaced by Concubine Song's people, and King Yongping's people are outside the gate. No one is allowed to leave the capital, let alone enter the capital. Now What should I do?"

Shen Lanze pondered for a while, but he didn't expect it.So many things happened in just one night, the first thing he thought of was General Ruo, and immediately said to Han Feng: "Hurry up and inform General Ruo, lest he be killed by a traitor."

It's a pity that they went one step too late. When they arrived at Ruojia, the whole Ruojia was surrounded by officers and soldiers.

Although many people do not believe that the general in their hearts will murder the emperor, they have to give in before authority and dare not really resist.

Shen Lanze and Han Feng became wanted criminals. The two bought masks and put them on their faces, and Lu Nanzhi also wore a veil.

The three of them came to a tea house and chose a seat by the window, where they sat quietly and could still see the outside.

"What should we do now?" Lu Nanzhi thought about how to move the rescuers.

"I have His Royal Highness's soldier talisman on me. If I can get the soldier talisman out, there may be a glimmer of hope." Han Feng took it out of his arms and handed it over.

Shen Lanze and Lu Nanzhi knew that only the military talisman was not enough to convince the generals of the barracks, and Han Feng had to take the military talisman himself.

Lu Nanzhi's gaze accidentally fell on the rice warehouse not far away, and he thought of a feasible solution.

"Go, I have a way to help you get out." Lu Nanzhi got up and left first.

Han Feng and Shen Lanze followed closely behind, and the three of them came to the rice warehouse. The shopkeeper was taken aback when he saw Lu Nanzhi, and then said respectfully, "Please, please."

When they came out again, there were only Shen Lanze and Lu Nanzhi, and the rice shop was quickly closed, and a few clerks pushed carts to transport three barrels of rice out of the city.
