Fang Ling and Qin Mu first sent all the relatives from her maternal grandparents' family, her father, her brothers and others to a place farther away from the capital.

In short, before they take action, they must ensure the safety of their families.

Of course, General Sun, my father, my brother, and other men were reluctant to leave at first.

They wanted to stay and help with the operation.

But Fang Ling refused to agree no matter what.

In her previous life, she was protected and spoiled by her father and brothers, and her maternal grandfather’s family.

In this life, she would never let her loved ones fall into danger again.

Finally, after Fang Ling sent all the people she wanted to protect to a safe place, she and Qin Mu's operation officially began.

In order to avoid implicating innocent people in the feud between them and the emperor, they endured for so long before deciding to confront the emperor.

Now that it's time for the official showdown, they already have a perfect plan.

That night, Fang Ling and Qin Mu both put on night clothes and sneaked into the capital.

They had been away from the capital for so long that the emperor's private treasury was almost full again.

It can be collected again.

Also, this time they are going to take over the national treasury as well.

They were very familiar with the palace and the two of them worked very well together.

In the end, it only took one hour to secretly collect all the contents of the emperor's private treasury and the national treasury into Fang Ling's space.

Next, there was the armory of the Imperial Guards and the Palace Guards.

Take away all their weapons, so that when the time comes for the real confrontation, it will not be easy for them to suffer bloodshed and sacrifice in the battle.

They are all citizens of Daliang. Fang Ling and Qin Mu do not want to see everyone sacrifice themselves in vain for the struggle among the upper class.

In just one night, Fang Ling had stored all the emperor's private treasury, the national treasury, and the armories of the imperial guards and imperial guards into the space.

In this way, the emperor's power was directly cut off.

The next day, early in the morning, when the emperor was still asleep, Zhou Fu hurried into the emperor's bedroom.

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened."

The emperor woke up suddenly.

During this period, he was always restless and could not sleep well at night.

Zhou Fu's scream frightened him even more.

He sat up suddenly.

"What happened?"

Zhou Fu knelt on the ground and reported in a trembling voice,

"Your Majesty, your private treasury and the national treasury were emptied overnight."

"what?"

The emperor felt dizzy when he heard this.

At this time, another eunuch came in to report.

"Your Majesty, the chief of the guards and the commander of the imperial guards request an audience."

When the emperor heard this, he had a premonition that something big was about to happen again.

He rubbed his brow with his hand.

"Xuan."

The young eunuch took the order and left.

Soon, the chief of the guards and the commander of the imperial guards came in hurriedly.

They both knelt on the ground.

The leader of the guards spoke first.

"Your Majesty, last night a thief emptied the guards' special weapons storage room."

Then, the commander of the Royal Guards also reported:

"Last night, the Royal Guards' arsenal was also emptied."

After hearing the series of items being emptied, the emperor's mind went blank for a moment.

...were all emptied?

Suddenly, the emperor connected the incident with the sudden disappearance of all the people in Duke Fang’s Mansion and General Sun’s Mansion yesterday.

"Are they back?"

The emperor couldn't help but exclaim, his tone was very complicated.

He wanted to summon Qin Mu and Fang Ling back to Beijing, and the imperial envoy to deliver the decree had already set out.

But when he realized that Qin Mu and Fang Ling might have secretly returned to Beijing, he became extremely panicked.

During the more than half a year that Qin Mu and his companions had been in the fiefdom, he had also sent spies to keep an eye on their every move.

He was sure that Qin Mu and his men did not have private soldiers in Yunzhou.

In other words, even if they come back, they won't have the power to fight against me.

But how did they manage to get one or two thousand people from Duke Fang's Mansion and General Sun's Mansion to leave the capital without anyone noticing in such a short period of time?

How could he enter and leave the palace freely?

The emperor shuddered at the thought.

Qin Mu's strength should not be underestimated.

Moreover, he should have hidden himself very well. It is possible that he had tens of millions of private soldiers in Yunzhou, but his spies were unable to discover them.

Just like how his spies only discovered Fang Ling’s pregnancy when she was more than four months pregnant.

How could the emperor remain calm when thinking of this possibility?

He quickly got up from the bed.

"Zhou Fu, change my clothes for me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhou Fu called two young eunuchs and went forward to help the emperor change his clothes.

The emperor looked at the chief of the guards and the commander of the imperial guards.

"You two, step back first.

Prepare some new weapons as soon as possible."

"Yes."

The chief of the guards and the commander of the imperial guards did not dare to raise any objection. They both clasped their fists and retreated.

The emperor simply asked them to prepare weapons on their own, but had no intention of allocating money to them.

Where can I get weapons if I don’t have any money?

But they dare not speak out their difficulties.

The weapons depot was stolen, and as leaders they had no choice but to take responsibility.

It is a blessing that the emperor did not punish me.

They can only bite the bullet and try to find a solution themselves.

Fortunately, the weapons that the guards and the royal guards usually carry with them are still there.

As long as there is no major unrest in the capital and the imperial palace, there should be no problem with the weapons they carry with them.

After the emperor changed his clothes, he wanted to summon several military generals to the palace to see him.

He had to be prepared before Qin Mu attacked him.

But just as he was getting dressed and walking out, a young eunuch came forward and knelt down to report.

"Your Majesty, Prince Jing and Princess Jing are requesting an audience outside the palace."

When these words were spoken, the emperor was so shocked that he was stunned and couldn't recover for a long time.

Is Qin Mu so fast?

Before he had time to gather troops, he brought people to kill us?

The emperor swallowed his saliva, calmed himself down, and then asked:

"How many troops did they bring with them?"

"No men with you?

Prince Jing and Princess Jing came in a carriage, with only one coachman. "

The young eunuch answered truthfully.

When these words came out, the emperor could hardly believe his ears.

He dared to come and ask for a meeting with only a groom.

Isn't this a self-inflicted trap?

For a moment, he couldn't understand why Qin Mu and Fang Ling did such a stupid thing.

He originally thought that if he sent an imperial envoy to Yunzhou to summon them, they would directly disobey his order.

In this way, he could send people to escort Qin Mu and Fang Ling back to Beijing on the charge of disobeying the imperial order.

But they didn't just return to Beijing themselves.

It would have been fine if he had just returned to Beijing, but he actually dared to come to the palace to ask for an audience with only a groom.

When the emperor thought of this, a strange smile appeared on his lips.

No matter what, Qin Mu and Fang Ling came to him on their own initiative, so it's no wonder that he was so ruthless.

His arsenal of guards and bodyguards had been stolen, so what.

Even if Qin Mu and Fang Ling had three heads and six arms, they could not leave the palace once they entered it.

The emperor put his hands behind his back and said calmly:

"Xuan!"

"Yes."

The young eunuch was about to leave when the emperor called him back.

"No need to prepare a sedan chair. Let them come to the Imperial Study to see me."
