Mu Ying and the others waited like that, as the sky slowly darkened.

Many of the ministers who came with Minhan Changyang had already gone to the side hall to rest, but he and the few emissaries still sat on the spot without moving, staring at the coffin as if they were not tired at all.

"Envoy, it's already late. Do you want to go to the guest room to rest first and wait for tomorrow morning before getting up to show your loyalty?" Mu Ying's steward came over and asked.

"No need." Minhan Changyang moved his body and changed his posture to continue sitting up. Seems like he was prepared to stay up all night.

Hearing that the butler had come to report, Mu Ying became even more anxious, "Looks like we can't wait until tomorrow. We have to think of a way to save Xue Moyun tonight."

"But this emissary is too cunning, if tomorrow he says he's going to perform another autopsy, then he'll be found out." Liang Yue, who had rushed over to help, said worriedly.

"Then, I'll wake her up first and let her swallow the medicine tomorrow. This way, she'll be able to last until the day after tomorrow. "After tomorrow, when we're buried, we'll dig it out quietly. Then, we won't have to worry about anything." Wei Ming said.

"That's fine too, this Minhan Changyang wouldn't go and dig a grave every few days right?" Liang Yue was relieved when she thought about this.

Mu Ying listened to their discussion for a while before instructing, "We'll do as you say. You can arrange for the hidden guards to be present tonight.

"Yes, Your Highness." Wei Ming accepted the order.

Inside the Imperial Palace, Mu Zheng had dinner with Zheng Ziyi and wanted to return to the Heartrest Palace to review the imperial reports. However, Zheng Ziyi kept pestering him to stay behind and accompany the little princess.

Mu Zheng was helpless, and doted on Zheng Ziyi, so he could only do as she said.

As the two of them sat, Zheng Ziyi called for someone to serve them more wine. As she drank and drank, for some reason, Mu Zheng felt a little drunk.

When she fainted, she was still thinking about Mu Ying and Xue Moyun, and could not help but mutter.

"Your majesty, your majesty …" Zheng Ziyi gently pushed Mu Zheng and tried to sound him out. Seeing Mu Zheng respond first in a daze, and then completely unconscious.

Zheng Ziyi stood up, and smiled sinisterly at Lv Luo. She then stood up and shouted towards the door, "Come, the emperor says he wants to see the prince. He says he has urgent matters to discuss, hurry up and call him over."

Eunuch Qin was waiting outside. When he heard this, he looked inside the house doubtfully and saw that the Emperor was still sitting there. He could only see the northern camp and not the front.

"What are you still standing there in a daze for, you dare to disobey the emperor's orders!" Zheng Ziyi saw that the Eunuch Qin was looking around and was enraged.

"Yes, yes, yes. This servant will immediately send someone to spread the news." Although Eunuch Qin was a little suspicious, when he thought about how the Emperor was inside, he confirmed that he had heard talk about Mu Ying just now. Moreover, this Zheng Ziyi was the emperor's favorite concubine that he couldn't afford to offend. He could only agree.

When Zheng Ziyi saw that the Eunuch Qin had gone out, he gave Lv Luo a hint and Lv Luo immediately spread the news out from the corner of the wall.

It was already the middle of the night, Minhan Changyang was still seated in the hall, drinking wine and admiring the moon happily, his eyes occasionally staring at the coffin.

The emissaries next to him were also staring at the coffin with their beady eyes. Even if there was a slight disturbance, they could still see it clearly.

Mu Ying and the others looked at Minhan Changyang from afar.

"He is a top-notch expert, his martial arts are definitely not inferior to mine. Only I can deal with him. I will lure him away first. You guys act according to the circumstances and let Madam take the antidote." We can plan on what will happen in the future. " Mu Ying arranged.

"Understood, Your Highness." Wei Ming and the others agreed in a low voice. Mu Ying nodded, and covered his face with the cloth.

"Your highness, your highness!" Just as Mu Ying and the rest were about to take action, the butler suddenly ran in hastily.

"What is it?" Mu Ying pulled down his cloth and asked with a low voice.

"The palace sent word that the emperor wants you to enter the palace immediately. There's an urgent matter we need to discuss." The butler returned.

"What, at this time?" Mu Ying was suspicious. The Emperor clearly knew that he had important things to do today, why would he act so rashly at this time? Could something have happened in the palace?

"Your Highness, will the Emperor make any new arrangements?" Seeing Mu Ying's suspicion, Liang Yue couldn't help but let go his guess.

The emperor had never called out to him in such a hurry, and it was even in the middle of the night. It seems that this matter was not trivial, Mu Ying thought as he looked at the coffin in the distance with some hesitation.

Wei Ming's guess was not unreasonable. The emperor had been worrying about them recently, could it be that he had a good idea at this time? Furthermore, comfort emissary was in the capital and the palace was not safe either. Be it in the public or the private, Mu Ying should take a look.

Thinking up to here, Mu Ying could only stand up and take off his night clothes: "You guys wait here, I'll be right back.

"Oh right, I'll hand this over to you first. If, in case I'm delaying, I must think of a way to give it to Madam before one o'clock." "Remember!" Mu Ying took out the antidote from his bosom and carefully handed it over to Liang Yue, telling him repeatedly. This way, he could be at ease.

After Mu Ying finished, he rushed out into the palace.

At this time, Mu Lingfeng, who was resting in the side hall, looked at Mu Ying as he walked towards the palace, and smiled sinisterly: "Mu Ying fell into a trap."

Mu Ying hurried back to the palace, but after entering the palace, the eunuch who was leading the way led him around, intentionally stalling for time.

Mu Ying only followed him for a short while before he felt that something was not right. He grabbed the little eunuch from behind and asked, "Speak, where are you going?

"Your highness, please spare my life. This servant didn't do it on purpose, it's just that this servant is new and isn't too familiar with the palace. Thus, I walked in the wrong direction and begged Your highness to spare my life." The young eunuch asked in a trembling voice.

"Newcomer, This King sees that you have ulterior motives. Say it, what is the purpose of this action? Who sent you here!?" grabbed the young eunuch's neck and lifted him up, his face was filled with killing intent.

The young eunuch struggled weakly, his face turning purple. He died very quickly.

Mu Ying threw it down and quickly headed towards the Emperor's Heart's Nourishment Hall. This was too strange.

"Could it be that there was chaos in the palace and something happened to the emperor?" Mu Ying was burning with anxiety.

He rushed to the Heart Nurturing Palace, only to find that there was no one inside. The emperor was not inside, so he asked the guards and the young eunuchs at the door, but did not know where the emperor was. This made Mu Ying feel even weirder.

He walked out, and just as he was filled with suspicions, he saw a person walking towards him from afar. This person did not know the others, and was none other than the Vice Commander of the palace guards, Lin Zequ.

Seeing him, Mu Ying immediately went forward to welcome him.

"Greetings, Your Highness." Lin Zequ hurried forward to pay his respects.

"No need to be so polite." Mu Ying told Lin Zequ to get up.

"Let me ask you, where is the Emperor? Has something happened in the palace?" Mu Ying asked a string of questions.

"Please don't be so impatient, Your Highness. When this humble subject was visiting the palace, I didn't notice anything amiss. The emperor was just in the Carnage Hall, but he seemed to be looking for some books. Perhaps he went to the library." Lin Zequ hinted.

"He went to the Compendium Pavilion?" Then why did he have to force this king into a corner? Did you find a solution in the book? " Mu Ying was overjoyed, and quickly went to the Compendium Pavilion.

The Compendium Pavilion was quite far from the Heart Training Hall. Even though Mu Ying had used his lightness techniques, he had still wasted a lot of time.

And within the Duke Palaces, seeing the sky gradually brighten while Mu Ying had not return for a long time, Wei Ming and the others were even more anxious.

And looking at them, Minhan Changyang's spirits were still raised a hundredfold. He knew that Mu Ying and the others would definitely take action tonight, so no matter what happened, they would not leave the hall even half a step.

Mu Ying rushed to the library, but did not find the emperor. He asked the guard at the door and found out that the emperor hadn't been here at all tonight.

"Could it be that Lin Zequ heard wrongly, or did the emperor change his mind midway?" Mu Ying didn't have the slightest bit of doubt towards Lin Zequ.

There was no use in guessing now, time was of the essence, so Mu Ying could only go to the crown prince's east palace and inquire about the whereabouts of the emperor. The crown prince had returned to report the situation to the emperor and should still be in the palace.

"What, royal father is anxious for the edict, I am not too clear on this matter." After Mu Zhuoshi explained the situation, Mu Zhuoshi became alert.

"I still have something on my hands, so I need to hurry up and give Mo Yun the antidote. Time is tight. I need to hurry up and find the emperor and confirm if he's in any danger at all, so that I can hurry up and get back. " Mu Ying was so anxious that her eyes had even turned red.

On one side was his beloved woman, on the other was the king of the country, and on the other side was his own royal brother, he had to take care of both sides.

"Eunuch Qin is my man, I will send someone to ask immediately." At this time, Mu Zhuoshi could no longer hide his identity and directly revealed his relationship with the Eunuch Qin, ordering his subordinates to quickly investigate.

"Royal Uncle, don't be anxious. It's still early, and there's still some time until the time for Wangfei to take the medicine. Don't worry."

Seeing that Mu Ying's entire spirit was dispirited, and was not in a good state, Mu Zhuoshi guessed that it was because of the huge amount of pressure he had received during this period. He hastily ordered people to bring a bowl of ginseng soup in.

had always been fighting outside, pacifying the situation in the four directions, protecting the peace of the West Cold. Now that he had no military power, he was worried for the people of the imperial court. In order to avoid a war, he even let his concubine use this medicine to fake her death. When he thought about it carefully, even his own royal father would not be as tired as him.

Mu Ying finished the ginseng soup in one gulp. After a while, Mu Zhuoshi's men came over to reply.

"Reporting to the crown prince and prince, the Eunuch Qin said that the emperor is currently in the imperial concubine palace. As for why the edict was so urgent, he's not too sure either, the young eunuch who was sent to lead the way was killed …"

Hearing that, Mu Ying stood up, picked up the sword and walked towards the Purple Jade Palace. Mu Zhuoshi put on a coat randomly and chased after his.

When Mu Ying arrived at the Purple Jade Palace, he saw that the Eunuch Qin was right outside the door so he quickly ordered him to go in to pass on the message.

However, when the Eunuch Qin arrived at the door, he was stopped by Lv Luo, who told him that the imperial concubine was unbuttoning her clothes, telling him to wait a bit before going in.

Mu Ying could only wait at the door.

Zheng Ziyi was leisurely patting the melon seeds. She looked at the sky and saw that it was already starting to turn white.

She patted her hands, took the towel and wiped her hands clean, then slowly stood up and let Lan Zhi feed the medicine that she prepared earlier. After that, she destroyed all the evidence and sat down by the table, and called for Mu Zheng.

"Eunuch, please go and urge them again." Mu Zhuoshi hurried over, begging Eunuch Qin to hurry him up again.

Eunuch Qin could only come in and ask Lv Luo.
