Zhou Ying nodded and chatted with them while using her divine sense to check the entire capital.

At this moment, four groups suddenly poured in from outside the four city gates. Each group had about 1,000 people, a sizable amount of people.

Out of the four teams, three teams were led by the Marquis of Ding’an to the Imperial Palace.

There was another team under Sun Wenhao’s command. They were further divided into three teams and charged toward King Rui’s Residence, King Kang’s Residence, and the Seventh Prince’s Residence.

Seeing this, Zhou Ying was somewhat puzzled. There were 20,000 imperial guards in the capital, and the garrison army, which was Lord Yan’s army, amounted to around 100,000.

Were they intending to use these 3,000 people to seize the throne? Wouldn’t that be a farce?

Zhou Ying immediately looked at the imperial guards’ encampment. She did not expect that everyone was drugged and the entire encampment was deathly silent.

As for the garrison, other than the 2,000 people in the capital, they were all outside the city. Zhou Ying couldn’t locate their exact location.

On the other hand, Lord Yan was tied up in the government office and looked highly anxious.

At this moment, the invaders had already surrounded King Rui’s Residence. Zhou Ying stood up and asked, “Do any of the maids in the courtyard know martial arts?”

In addition to the tiles that had been blown away, a considerable portion of the invaders were hit by the explosion.

Therefore, the place descended into chaos when the 300 people rushed in through the three doors.

At this moment, the guards in the residence immediately rushed forward with wet masks.

Although it wasn’t a one-sided massacre, they quickly gained the upper hand and controlled the situation.

Zhou Ying smiled when she saw this and looked at King Kang’s Residence.

A real fight had broken out in King Kang’s Residence.

King Kang was clearly prepared for this. A hundred archers suddenly appeared, and their arrowheads were smeared with poison.

The invaders outside didn’t dare to enter, and the people inside didn’t dare to come out, either. They were in a stalemate.

However, King Kang was clearly not in his residence, and both sides were only stalling for time.

On the other side, in the Seventh Prince’s Residence, it was obvious that they were also prepared.

Although there were no traps, at least a thousand people were on standby.

Moreover, it was obvious that they were elite soldiers, so the 300 invaders were quickly eliminated.

Zhou Ying couldn’t help but sympathize with the Emperor. It seemed his sons were not easy to deal with..
