Chapter 676 While Planning
Because of the presence of kerosene and red phosphorus, the fire was not so easily extinguished.

When the Empress Dowager arrived in a hurry, the Golden Luan Palace had been burned down to the point where only the skeleton remained.

"What... what's going on here!" The queen mother could hardly speak.

Eunuch Xi was panic-stricken, and knelt down in front of the Queen Mother, "Back to the Queen Mother, Princess Nanzhao said that there is something wrong with the crystal lamp, let us go out and wait, and we went out. After waiting for a while, the Golden Luan Palace was on fire. !"

"Where is the emperor?" the queen mother asked again.

Whether such a large fire was deliberately set off, the Queen Mother does not know.

But if the emperor is not inside, then everything will be settled.

The Nanzhao princess fled with the emperor, they were in the same group!

Just as he was thinking about it, a guard rushed out from inside, his whole body was covered in black soot, and he could hardly make out his appearance.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, two corpses were found in the apse of Jinluan, with daggers on their chests, and scattered jewelry and jade pendants beside them."

After speaking, he presented the things to the Queen Mother.

Eunuch Xi's eyes were sharp, and he rushed forward and grabbed a piece of jade, crying almost out of breath, "This... this is the jade piece on the emperor's belt. Could it be that the emperor... the emperor..."

Momo, who was following the Queen Mother, also opened her mouth, pointed to one of the hairpins and said, "Look, Queen Mother, isn't this the hairpin you gave to the little princess yesterday, and the little princess is still wearing it today."

In other words, the two people here are indeed the emperor and Jiang Zhimian.

But the queen mother was still puzzled, "If Nan Zhao wanted to kill the emperor, why did he commit suicide again? Wouldn't it be better to run away?"

"Absconding in fear of crime?" Lian Yun said abruptly, "Under the feet of the Son of Heaven, how could he escape? He must be too scared, so he might as well die."

"Why do you want to kill the emperor, the emperor has no grievances with her, my God, the emperor, you are gone, what should the old slave do, the old slave might as well go with you, and when we get to the other end, the old slave Serving you!"

After Eunuch Xi finished speaking, he slammed straight towards the stone pillar next to him.

Hearing a bang, Eunuch Xi's head was bleeding, and after staggering a few times, he fell to the ground.

The Queen Mother just felt unlucky.

Covering the slightly raised corners of his mouth with his hands, he sighed deliberately, "Eunuch Xi is sincere, come here, send him to the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment, try to save him, and if he can't, he must be buried properly!"

After speaking, his body also shook.

Mei Zhao hurried up to support her, "Be careful, queen mother, don't hurt the phoenix's body just because the emperor is dead. The affairs of the Kingdom of Jin have to be handled by the queen mother."

"Poor my emperor, why did you go like this? The Ai family always doesn't believe it. General Gu, just follow me and tell me what's going on!" said the Queen Mother.

Lian Yun cupped her hands and said yes.

After arriving at the Empress Dowager's bedroom, the Empress Dowager hurriedly said, "Little General Gu, tell me quickly, what is going on here?"

Lian Yun looked around first, and told the maids and eunuchs who were waiting beside her, "You all go out first."

"Little General Gu, how can you order the people in the Empress Dowager's palace? You don't have the qualifications." Mo Momo refused at that time.

As a result, Lian Yun slightly raised her eyelids, "And you, go out too."

"Me? I have been serving the Queen Mother for decades..."

Momomo wanted to put on airs, but before she finished speaking, Lian Yun answered her sentence.

"The court lady who has served you for decades, you know, let's go out." She said lightly.

Mammy Mo was so angry that her breath stuck in her throat, and she was almost suffocated to death.

Turning his head to look at the queen mother, he wanted to wait for the queen mother to give him justice, but he did not expect that the queen mother nodded at her, which was considered to have agreed to the request.

"Queen Mother, the servant is waiting outside. If there is anything, you can just call the servant, and the servant will definitely come in immediately." Mammy Mo was unwilling to reconcile, and she glared at Lian Yun as she spoke.

Lian Yun completely ignored her and turned her body sideways to make room for Mammy Mo to go out.

After Mammy Mo went out, only the Queen Mother and Mei Zhao were left in the room.

Lian Yun was very straightforward, "Eunuch Mei, Queen Mother, now we are also mothers on the same rope."

The Empress Dowager was horrified in her heart, but her face remained calm, "What are you talking about, General Gu, why can't I understand it?"

"Before I pretended to be friends with Jiang Zhimian, I learned from her that Eunuch Mei and the Queen Mother belonged to the same faction, and she wanted to rescue the Emperor today to overthrow the Queen Mother." Lian Yun continued.

"You... what did you say?" The queen mother nervously clenched the unicorn on the armrest of the seat.

Lian Yun continued, "The reason why I came to the Kingdom of Jin is to ask the Kingdom of Jin to help me eradicate the internal thieves in Northern Qi, but I haven't been able to wait for the help of the Kingdom of Jin for so long. I wonder if my sincerity is not enough. , Doing this today, is sincerity enough?"

"Little General Gu is saying that you killed the emperor and Jiang Zhimian?" Mei Zhao raised his eyebrows secretly and asked softly.

Lian Yun nodded, "That's right, and I have another piece of evidence for them. They have hidden a lot of kerosene in their home, and they also hide red phosphorus in other places. If the court brings these two things out tomorrow, don't worry." Speaking of the whole family of the little princess, even Prince Ning's mansion, there will be no more survivors."

The crime of killing the king is considered light even for the nine clans!
"Where are those red phosphorus hidden?" Mei Zhao hurriedly asked.

Lian Yun was not in a hurry to tell him, but instead asked Mei Zhao, "Eunuch Mei, you just asked me to kill Jiang Zhimian before. Now that I have done it, your promise will be fulfilled, right?"

"Naturally, then tell me where the red phosphorus is first." Mei Zhao was still very eager.

Lian Yun took a step back, "Since I learned from Jiang Zhimian that the Empress Dowager and Eunuch Mei belong to the same faction, I naturally know your purpose. This is my amulet, unless you send a team of elite soldiers to Northern Qi Dynasty tomorrow, Otherwise I wouldn't have said this."

"Little General Gu just refuses?" The queen mother suddenly changed her expression.

"Queen, this is my amulet, I dare not hand it over lightly." Lian Yun said.

But after hearing this, the Queen Mother started to laugh loudly, "Why, do you think you can blackmail me with these things?"

Lian Yun's face suddenly changed, "What does the Queen Mother mean?"

"Whether you admit it or not, as long as you die here today, you will kill the emperor and the little princess. In addition, my goal will be achieved, and it has nothing to do with you."

"You cross the river and tear down the bridge!" Lian Yun shouted angrily.

The queen mother leaned back on the carved armchair, with a ferocious smile on her face, "It's not my fault, it's just General Gu, you are too eager for quick success, you have to rush to help us with things, don't worry, when my grandson ascends the throne, I will arrange someone I sent you back to Northern Qi to be buried!"

After saying this, she glanced at Mei Zhao next to her again, "Let's do it."
