The sun is direct and the weather in the north is dry and dull.

Seeing that the person on the bed was breathless, Ling Qiangqiang let out tears again, dragged his heavy body and shouted: "Your Majesty's funeral!"

The voice was extremely low, and the eunuchs and maids who were exposed to the sun outside breathed out, how did they know that the people in the inner room had lost their consciousness.

It was Mo Yu who went to check as usual, only to see the person sitting paralyzed on the ground, and he knew it in his heart. After he checked carefully, he was indeed not breathing.

Mo Yu didn't make a sound, but fired a smoke bomb into the sky. With a bang, the blue smoke bomb split in the air, and then radiated from the outer courtyard of the palace. Every 30 seconds, a smoke bomb shot up into the sky. The busy people were just living their own lives, running around for their livelihood, so they didn't care about the strange twinkling in the sky.

In the end, three hundred miles away from the imperial city, a black horse and a white horse saw the signal, and went straight to the capital without stopping.

Mo Yu told Ling Qiangqiang from the very beginning: "If it's going to be late at night, we must buy more time for the emperor and His Highness!"

Ling Qiangqiang nodded, but how could this kind of thing escape the eyes of everyone, the sky was getting dark, the ministers surrounded Lian Liying and came to the gate of the palace, confronting the inner guards.

"Your Highness Fourth, Your Highness Fifth is unethical, you are the orthodox son, and we all support you!"

All the soldiers in the back raised their tinder with great momentum.

Only Lian Liying spoke slowly: "Ministers, don't flatter me. Your Highness knows that there is no virtue of a prince, but today we are all serving as sons and ministers, just to find out if His Majesty is safe, and save us from worrying?"

"That is, Your Majesty has not been in court for three months. We are worried and afraid of harming the foundation of our country. We have to check it!" One of the ministers said.

At this moment, there is no one in the imperial palace who is in control of the situation, and it will take some time for Li Rong to mobilize troops from the military camp. Miao Qing stood in front of the Dragon Boat Festival with all the guards and troops he could dispatch from the imperial city.

Seeing Miao Qing's posture, those ministers were a little timid, and then looked at Lian Liying who was calm and composed, so they were not so afraid.

"Your Highness Fourth, you brought all the officials and ministers to the gate of the palace in the middle of the night. What do you mean by that?" Miao Qing questioned.

The man was disdainful: "The minister and I just came to see the safety of His Majesty. I heard earlier that the powerful ministers in the court confuse the prince, control the court, and trap my monarch. Today, I will verify it for the people of Dacang!"

What Lian Liying said was grand and bold, and even the ministers on the side were brave. After all, they violated the content of the note Ruozhi sent them before: There have been a lot of things recently.

But why are they willing to let a little girl control Chao Gang and put them down: "That's right, we all got to the capital step by step. Her husband Ruozhi dared to spend so much because of her good background and the more than a hundred years of prestige given to her by the Imperial Master's Mansion."

"My lords, most of us were born in scientific examinations. We studied hard and devoted ourselves to becoming officials. The bitterness of it is only experienced by ourselves. Now, what is her husband Ruozhi doing to let her take the first prize?"

"Yes, we can't sit still. Now that the prince is bewitched by the witch, the only one who can resist is the Fourth Highness. We support the Fourth Highness!"

These civil servants pushed Lian Liying out so impetuously. He didn't want to do it at first, but Lian Lirong, who held the military power before, revealed that he was willing to settle down.

When the ministers heard this, they immediately got excited: "You are just a servant next to the emperor's teacher. Why are you talking to my prince in Dacang? I'm afraid it's not that your master is an unruly and arrogant person?"

"A young servant in the Imperial Master's Mansion is so rampant. Do you take Your Majesty and the Dacang court seriously, or is it that the Emperor's Mansion wants to tell the world that his husband's family is the real helm of the Dacang?"

After all, Miao Qing was still young, and the ministers said so much to each other, and he was about to fall off immediately, and the man was about to fall off. The man barely held his strength: "You scholars are so rude, don't talk nonsense, and ruin the reputation of my master and the emperor's mansion!"

Lian Liying looked at Miao Qing's persecution, and flashed a trace of ridicule: "Now, only seeing His Majesty is safe and sound can you silence everyone, and at the same time return the innocence of the Emperor's Mansion, don't you think?"

"Yes, yes, we want to see His Majesty!"

The soldiers below held torches and stood below. A strange wind blew by, the branches of the big trees beside them rustled, and dark clouds were approaching.

After saying that, everyone rushed into the gate, Miao Qing and his group were too late, seeing that everyone was about to rush into Emperor Ming's bedroom, Ling Qiang came out, even Li Ying and all the ministers still greeted him respectfully.

"Father-in-law, we are worried about His Majesty's safety, can you let His Majesty come out to meet us, so that we can relieve our worries about thinking about the army!" the minister said.

Ling Qiangqiang greeted Lian Liying first, and then stood upright.

"Your Majesty said that I don't want to see you, so you should come back, ministers!"

Everyone was in an uproar, looking at Ling Qiangqiang who was about to retreat back into the inner room, even Li Ying's eyes were bottomless, looking at the little lights in the room, his face showed a stern look.

"Elder-in-law, tell us the truth. Has your majesty passed away long ago and ascended to the west!" The man's thick voice resounded through the entire compound, making everyone hold their breath and shiver.

After all, Ling Qiangqiang is a master who has experienced many battles, how could he be frightened by Lian Liying, that father-in-law just glanced at everyone calmly, his eyes indifferent.

"Your Highness, I'd better think about some things before I say them. Now that the one in the middle palace is still missing, you don't have to be afraid of such actions..." Ling Qiangqiang warned.

"You!" Lian Liying suppressed his anger. Since the last time we met, the eyeliner in the palace reported that his mother had been transferred. Only then did he realize that he had missed the opportunity. If he had done more at that time or before that, he would not have fallen into a passive position today.

"Besides, if the ministers really cared about His Majesty's safety, they wouldn't have been silent for a few months. Don't you think this behavior is absurd and funny?" Ling Qiang asked aggressively.

Those ministers also blushed and were so ashamed that they couldn't speak.

"Let's not say that your majesty is safe, even if you are sick, it is because of your stupidity and cowardice, shifting the blame and watching the show, not thinking about the righteous way, which caused the situation. You can't blame others."

After Ling Qiangqiang finished speaking, she retreated to the inner room, and everyone realized that they wanted to enter again, but Lian Lirong and the imperial guards had already arrived and surrounded the entire inner room.

"I'm sorry, fourth brother, I can't help myself!"

Lian Lirong stood in front of him in shame. At the beginning, it was Ruozhi who passed on the message, telling him to do Lian Liying's routine, but he thought that the fourth elder brother was an old man in the city and was also a wise man, so he would definitely have a way to get out of his body, so he agreed.

But seeing Lian Liying examine his appearance, he realized that what he did was wrong, and he regretted getting on Ruozhi's pirate ship. If it wasn't for Wu Ge's sake, he wouldn't be that mean-spirited person.

"Liu Liu, you've still looked like this all these years, you haven't changed at all!" Lian Liying looked like her usual older brother Weishen, without the fierce demeanor just now.

"Okay, after a night of trouble, your fourth brother and I were also dragged by the ministers, and I couldn't help myself!"

There was another movement, and the man half-kneeled and saluted: "Father, it's so late, so much trouble. It's my son who is not filial. Now, my son will go back to introspect and copy the "Book of Virtue of Virtue" a hundred times. If you don't finish copying, you will never leave the house."

After finishing speaking, the man knocked his head down on the ground, his expression was a bit sad and regretful, of course, only he himself knew the reason for this expression, it could be regarded as the last trace of filial piety as a son!

As soon as this move was made, those civil servants and ministers who followed behind were somewhat second-hand monks.

"This, Fourth Highness, this is, you told us well before you came out just now, how can you pick yourself so clean now?"

"I'll just say no, you're trying to drive the ducks to the shelves, and now that the Fourth Highness has retired, aren't we just living targets waiting to be sifted by others?"

"What do you mean by that? Could it be that someone came here with a knife against you? Before you came out, you were the one who worked hardest. Now that the wind direction has changed, you're blaming everyone?"

A group of civil servants looked at the well-dressed clothes, and they refused to give up their mouths, and they made a big move in the yard. A group of people pushed and shoved, and the second prime minister was not there, and no one could stop them for a while.

Ling Qiangqiang looked haggard, and looked at these people in front of His Majesty with grief and indignation. I am afraid that no matter who handed over the Great Cang, it would be finished, but before it was finished, it was lucky that such a person appeared, and the last sliver of value of this dynasty could be exerted.

It's just that amidst the noise, there was a creaking sound of the door, which made all the officials stop their movements, and it was the figures of Lian Lixi and Ruozhi.

"You are worshiped as a minister of the Great Cang, eat the sound of the people, and be worshiped by the people, and now you speak evil words here, show your teeth and claws, what is the proper way?" Lian Lixi's figure was sharp and fierce, as if she had the courage of a monarch.

Those ministers waited to see the faces clearly, and they all knelt on the ground, drooping their heads, like the wild cats that were still baring their teeth and clamoring to eat small fish just now. When they saw the corner of the tiger in the mountain, they were too frightened to move.

"I know my mistake!" The group of ministers said in unison.

Ruozhi rolled her eyes over it, but she couldn't say anything, seeing Lianying get up and look at her, the man raised his eyebrows, showing a complacent expression.

Anyway, apart from Lian Lirong and Lian Liying, whoever was there, they all knelt down together when they saw Lixi, for fear of making a mistake.

Lian Lixi and Ruozhi exchanged glances, and then entered the inner room with Ling Qiangqiang. For about three to five minutes, the man seemed to be suppressing some emotion, and exchanged glances with Lian Liying. Regardless of their positions, it was a tacit understanding between brothers.If Ruozhi noticed it, she just affirmed the facts, only Lian Lirong was not in the mood to watch this farce.

Lian Lixi's scarlet eyes tried to calm herself: "Father said, if you are like this, you wish I could go earlier so that you can reshuffle the cards and seize power?"

Everyone was terrified: "Your Highness, the ministers absolutely have no such intentions. We were also bewitched by the wind of falsehood. It is because of our love that we are eager to..." The person who spoke took a look at Lian Liying, but he didn't dare to attack, and he hesitated.

Lian Lixi said angrily: "I'm still arguing, my father is weak, and I will handle all matters on my behalf. Come on, put these old Confucian scholars who are causing trouble in the detention center. After finding out who is behind the scenes, submit the documents to me, and then make plans. As for the soldiers and guards who rioted later, they will be dealt with according to military law!"

"Yes!"

The sound of thunder and the torrential rain seemed to wash away the mud in people's hearts.

The people in the yard were scattered and scratched, even Lixi, Ruozhi and those two just made eye contact, even Liying left in a hurry, even Lirong retreated from cursing, and didn't notice the strangeness in the inner room at all, but even Lixi didn't like them princes seeing His Majesty, anyway, Father didn't like him, every time he saw him beating or scolding, he didn't bother to touch his old man's brow.

"Really, this time is a good time for my hall to have a good dream. I don't know who is always causing trouble. In the end, I still need my hall to step in!"

Hearing this, Lian Lixi quickly scolded: "You won't go back yet, do you want me to punish you for being late in rescuing you?"

Lian Lirong pursed her lips, shrugged and left.Miao Qing entered the arena and stood outside the door, waiting for errands and reports.

Ruozhi walked into the inner room, only to see the man who was out of breath, although she had noticed it earlier, but when she saw such an emperor with her own eyes, her heart was still blocked and she couldn't explain it.

Seeing Ruozhi coming in, Ling Qiangqiang couldn't bear it anymore and cried loudly.Emperor Ming's body was covered with ice jars, and from time to time, palace ladies and eunuchs would carry ice cubes in, and Ling Qiangqiang would replace the ice cubes herself.

"Your Majesty, it's good that this old slave went with you!"

Ruozhi's eyes were also red, and she patted Ling Qiangqiang's shoulder: "Elder-in-law, it's hard work!"

The woman walked out of the inner room and saw Mo Yu waiting early.

"Ronghua? Are you okay!"

"When did this happen."

"About five in the morning."

"You have worked hard these days. When the funeral ceremony is over, I will send someone to escort you back to Jiangnan."

The man nodded, and when he saw Miao Qing coming over as if he wanted to report something, he left lightly.

Miao Qing: "Master, Huo Lin, the head of the Hanlin Academy who made trouble tonight, has already been imprisoned. The rest of the ministers have admitted their mistakes and have a good attitude. They have been arranged in an elegant place according to His Highness Fifth Highness's order, and they have not neglected. As for the second prime minister, he did not appear to be involved on the surface. These days, he has kept a low profile. There is also Fourth Highness..."

When Ruozhi heard Lian Liying, her eyes taunted a bit: "He is just angry with Lixi and me, that's why he made such a move, it's also because these people are too greedy, otherwise he wouldn't have been used by him."

"As for the follow-up, it depends on what His Highness plans!"

Ruozhi looked at the person at the corner of the stairs, she had been sitting for a long time, she didn't know the pain and couldn't follow up.

"Master, His Royal Highness must be very complicated, right?"

Ruozhi's voice trembled a little: "Tell me, isn't it cruel for me to treat him like this?"
