Seeing Su Ruji had died, Yun Shang touched her face subconsciously to see if she was disguised by someone else. Then Yun Shang bent down to smell, but she didn't smell any medicine.
This time, it was the real Su Ruji.
Yun Shang raised her head and smiled. Su Qi panicked and stepped back in a hurry. He stared at Su Ruji's corpse, as if he had lost his mind all of a sudden.
Yun Shang looked at Su Qi coldly. The Su family had been favored for more than two hundred years. Su Qi was probably much worse director than the previous ones in charge of the family. He had tried every means to send Su Ruji to the Palace, but only with the prestige and the supports the Su family had accumulated in the court for nearly hundred years, he managed to hold on.
However, Su Qi didn't know how to restrain himself. He wanted to attract everyone's attention, but he was not smart enough and left many hidden dangers.
Su Ruji gradually gained a firm foothold in the imperial household and was able to help the Su family which was already on the decline. Xia Huanyu might have had the intention to take action against the Su family. The Su family's perseverance till now had something to do with Su Ruji's efforts in the imperial household.
As soon as Su Ruji died, it meant that the Su clan was going to be over. Naturally, Su Qi was extremely sad.
"Guards, drag the traitor down." Xia Huanyu's voice was cold, and he didn't even give a glance at the corpse of Su Ruji from beginning to end.
The palace guards rushed in from the outside, restrained Su Qi and pulled him out.
Yun Shang faintly heard the signal from a secret guard. She raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Xia Huanyu and Empress Hua. She smiled and said, "I'll go out to see what's going on outside."
After saying that, Yun Shang bowed and walked out of the Taiji Palace.
Outside the Taiji Palace, the palace was under the control of the palace guards. The figures of the palace guards could be seen everywhere. Yun Shang walked to a corner, and a piece of paper fell down from the beam above her head. Yun Shang took the paper and unfolded it.
She frowned and looked at the note. There were only a few words on it: The seventh Prince has arrived at Jin City.
Yun Shang had guessed where the seventh Princes would go after he fled. She thought he was going to the frontier to dispatch troops. But she didn't expect him to return to the Jin City so soon. Didn't he plan to seize the throne now?
But now Luo Qingyan had become the Crown Prince. Even if the seventh Prince returned to the Jin City, it would be difficult for him to turn over.
Thinking of this, Yun Shang curled up her lips, rubbed the paper and put it into her long sleeve.
All the traitors had been arrested, and the Palace gradually returned to peace. The palace guards were cleaning up the corpses of the dead servants in the Palace.
Yun Shang stood in the corridor for a while, with mixed feelings mounting in her heart. Although she was born and raised in the Palace. The Palace was the most prosperous place in the world, and also the darkest place in the
. "Greetings. Father and mother."
Empress Hua was also surprised, but she just glanced at the seventh Prince and looked away indifferently.
On the other hand, Xia Huanyu looked a little nervous. He had been checking the reaction of Empress Hua from the corner of his eyes. Seeing that Empress Hua didn't say anything, he turned to look at the seventh Prince and said in a somewhat cold voice, "Arise."
His eyes fell on the tied men behind the seventh Prince, and he frowned again. "What's going on? Aren't they the commanders of the imperial guards?"
The seventh Prince stepped forward in a hurry and answered softly, "Yes, Your Majesty. As soon as I entered the Jin City, I heard that Field Marshal Su had rebelled and saw Su Ruhai hurried to the imperial army. I was suspicious and secretly ordered someone to follow Su Ruhai. When I arrived at the camp, I found that Su Ruhai wanted to mobilize the imperial guards to attack the Imperial Palace without permission and cooperate with Su Qi to seize the power."
"Seeing this, I caught Su Ruhai and several commanders of the imperial guards who supported him." The seventh Prince said in a low voice.
"Su Ruhai?" Xia Huanyu glanced at the people in the hall and found a man among the commanders of the imperial guards, who had been lowering his head.
The seventh Prince walked up to the man, pinched his chin and raised his head. It was really Su Ruhai.
Seeing this, Yun Shang couldn't help laughing. It was interesting that they didn't get along well with each other in the Ling Xi City. Su Ruhai sent the seventh Prince to the prison. Now that the seventh Prince had returned to the Jin City, the first thing he did was to send Su Ruhai to Xia Huanyu to ask for credit.
Although it was not his contribution.
Luo Qingyan had already ordered people to lurk in the imperial guards. As soon as Su Ruhai connected with the imperial guards, the secret guards found him. Then the secret guards took the token from him and avoided a disaster.
She didn't know when the credit would belong to the seventh Prince.
