Upon hearing this, Yan Rujin was so excited that she grabbed the queen's shirt.

"Where are the people hiding?"

Just by listening, I knew it must be some kind of evil spell.

Even if not, it is definitely a way to torture people...

“Where are they keeping people?”

Yan Rujin asked twice in a row, and the queen shook her head in collapse.

"They hung me in Yongchang Palace, and everyone around me was arrested by them. In order to save me, the prince led the courtiers into Yongchang Palace. I came out, but they..."

Upon hearing this, Yan Rujin immediately abandoned the queen and ran out of the room.

"Uncle Lei, take me to see King Yu and the Concubine Xian!"

I originally thought that the person walked through the secret passage, but I never expected that the person was still in the harem.

She regrets so much now that she should have interrogated the queen first, and then severely tortured King Yu and the concubine Xian.

But it was too late to say anything at this time.

On the way to Yeting Prison, Yan Rujin was also wondering, could the queen be lying?

Thinking about the scene where she didn't hesitate to trick her, she thought it was very possible.

However, King Yong had already gone after him, and the entire palace on her side had been searched, but there was still no whereabouts.

Thinking of this, she ordered someone to bring a horse and went straight from Tingyun to Yeting Prison.

Yeting prison

There was a sickening smell in the dark, cold, damp air.

Yan Rujin was not afraid at all, and came to the hanging King Yu.

Looking at the person who did it, he was so hot that he took off his shirt.Seeing Yan Rujin coming, she quickly put on her clothes.

"The cave master, he has been tortured non-stop since he was captured, but he doesn't open his mouth!"

Seeing the hanging King Yu, dripping blood, she held the red-hot iron and approached slightly.

She wanted to put the branding iron on his heart to make him sober, but she didn't want to see something strange on his face under the dim light.

Without hesitation, he took the branding iron and landed it on King Yu's face.

"Huh..."

It sounded like the sound of frying meat, but what suddenly came was a stench.

Looking again, King Yu's entire face was on fire.

Wang Lei was so frightened that he quickly ordered someone to put out the fire.

But the fire went out, and a burnt face fell at Yan Rujin's feet.

"Jie Jie Jie... It's not your turn to kill my mother and concubine... Jie Jie Jie..."

With the sinister laughter, the man's head exploded suddenly, and an insect as big as a thumb struggled in the blood and gradually became silent.

Looking at that thing, Yan Rujin narrowed her eyes slightly.

She guessed right!

"Go and see Concubine Xian!"

Sure enough, when she arrived at the cell where Concubine Xian was held, Concubine Xian died peacefully.

This King Yu is really a vicious person.

Even my own mother can do it.

Jin Yuwei, who was responsible for guarding Yeting Prison, knelt down one after another to plead guilty.

Yan Rujin knew that they were not to blame for this matter.

But one thing she was more sure of was that the lives of the prince, her great-grandfather, and uncle were already in danger.

"Take that insect with you and go find the queen!"

She is now a little curious about what role the Queen plays in this.

Or rather, she has been being fooled around by the queen!
Kunning Palace is now deserted with fallen leaves all over the ground, and the Queen is sitting on the window sill with the window open.

I don't know why, but looking at her sitting posture from a distance is so strange.

A bad premonition came over Yan Rujin's heart.

"Uncle Lei, please bring a few people and surround them carefully..."

She didn't even finish her words. She saw the queen's body falling straight from the window sill.

Everyone watched and subconsciously went to pick her up, but they were too far away and watched helplessly as the queen fell into a pulp.

That’s right, it’s minced meat!
Seeing this scene, Yan Rujin only felt angry that she was being played.Anger rushed straight to his forehead, but there was nowhere to vent it.

Helpless, she could only go to the emperor. At least the emperor couldn't be controlled by the Gu!

But when she just arrived at the emperor's palace.

"Report..."

The messenger who was carrying the command flag fell directly from his horse: "The Liang Qin invaded our Mengzhou and has captured ten counties. Please ask for reinforcements!"

He held the mailbox high in his hand, obviously exhausted.

When Yan Rujin heard this, she knew something was wrong.

But obviously things were not that simple. Not long after, another soldier came running on horseback.

"East China Sea...East China Sea invades, requesting reinforcements..."

A feeling of powerlessness spread all over Yan Rujin's body.

But the house leaked every night rain.

"Report...enemy troops appeared outside the city, massacred my people, and forced our army to open the city gate!"

Quick report of arrivals from the city defense camp.

The emperor, who was lying on the bed for a while, had regained consciousness. His body had been gradually hollowed out during these days.

Even though Xuan Ran helped him nurse himself back to health, he was already at the end of his strength.

Yan Rujin drank the decoction for him and sat beside his couch.

On one side is Yuan Hai, reporting on the current war one by one.

"Your Majesty, the war is tense now. Do you still have troops to dispatch?" Yan Rujin said slightly.

The emperor waved his hands slightly as he listened: "Everyone in Haojing has been transferred away, and we still have to look after the people in the city. Those who can use it..."

He said it with a sense of weakness, and it was obvious that the oil was running out.

Yan Rujin watched and hurriedly asked Xuanran to come over and give the emperor an acupuncture.

This was when the emperor took a breath again.

"You... are the daughter-in-law of the royal family. Now the heavy responsibility of the Jin Kingdom will be handed over to you!"

After that, the emperor fell asleep.

Seeing this, Yan Rujin narrowed her eyes slightly.

She simply began to cry weakly: "I am a weak woman, not to mention that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were infected with the epidemic. Even if this were not the case, who would listen to me? Can I dispatch troops or generals?"

She was crying and speaking in a measured tone.

After all, the emperor was clearly trying to impress her.

It was impossible for the few needles Xuanran inserted into him to make him fall asleep so quickly.

This dog emperor is both acting and established, and there is no way he can cheat her.

After crying for a while, the emperor still didn't move.

Simply, Yan Rujin also risked her life: "Eunuch Yuan, I don't know what to do now. Why don't we let the city defense battalion give up resistance and withdraw people to protect the palace city, so as to ensure the safety of His Majesty."

As she spoke, she changed her tone and wiped away tears slightly: "I will leave the palace in a while and see if I can gather some people to help resist for a while."

There is no one around the emperor now. Yan Rujin said that she was leaving the palace to help find someone. Who knows if she will run away.

The only person he can rely on now is Yan Rujin.

It stands to reason that now would be an excellent opportunity to directly usurp the throne.

But he knew it all, but in his heart he was suspicious, worried and afraid...

Seeing Yan Rujin's various arrangements before leaving, the emperor suddenly woke up and took a big breath.

"Princess Yong..."

Yan Rujin listened, with tears still on her face, and came to the emperor's bedside with a look of confusion.

"Yuan Hai go get the tiger talisman!"

In his current situation, he can only take a gamble.

"Bring the jade seal as well!"

This surprised Yan Rujin. The emperor suddenly became too enlightened.

However, Yan Rujin really didn't want to take on this mess now.

But then, she realized that she really thought highly of this dog emperor.
