After understanding the thoughts of animals, I became more successful in escaping famine!

"Who are you?" Gu Yong was alert and asked instead of answering.

"I am a servant of the Emperor. Something happened to the Emperor and I escaped by luck. I wonder where General Yun is?"

Upon hearing the news, Gu Yong and Lei Ting did not dare to delay and immediately took Chunzhi to see Yun Che.

After they met, Yun Che recognized at a glance that the man in front of him was the chief eunuch who served the emperor.

"Eunuch Chunzhi, why are you here?"

Chunzhi's eyes were red as he told Yun Che everything that had happened during these days.

"Prime Minister Xu Wu has been leading all the officials to report General Yun for treason and collusion with the enemy for some time. The emperor didn't believe it and kept dragging his feet. He wanted to deal with it after General Yun returned to the capital, but today, for some reason, the emperor suddenly fell unconscious in the court, and even the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital couldn't figure out what the illness was."

As he spoke, Chunzhi seemed to be running out of breath and kept coughing.

"What's wrong with him?" Li Yu Niang, who was watching from the side, was extremely anxious.

Song Wanning took the medicine box and looked over: "He caught a cold, his lungs are inflamed, and he was beaten just now, so this happened."

Just now, when those thugs were beating Chunzhi, they kicked him hard several times.

“Can it be cured?” Yun Che asked.

Song Wanning didn't want to pay attention to his disbelief in her words: "My father-in-law is old and his body is fragile. Your ribs are broken. Take this medicine first. The broken ribs can only be healed slowly later."

"Thank you for the trouble, young lady."

Chunzhi thanked him and continued what he had just said: "I was not with the emperor yesterday because I caught a cold. Today I heard that it was my apprentice Li Cheng who was always by the emperor's side. The others fell asleep in the middle of the night. He must have colluded with Prime Minister Xu Wuzhi to persecute the emperor. General Yun, you must rescue the emperor!"

Xu Lian was bored and went for a walk around the area. He just came back and heard Chunzhi's words.

She was so angry that she yelled, "What nonsense are you talking about!? You old man, why do you slander my father? Why do you blame him for something wrong with the emperor?!"

She spoke very loudly, and seeing someone not far away noticed the commotion here and looked over here, Lei Ting was so angry that he hit her on the neck with a knife. Xu Lian lost consciousness and fainted on the ground.

"This person must be Lord Xu's daughter." Chunzhi said with some fear.

Yun Che nodded: "It's her."

Chunzhi sighed, "General Yun, I am not just making random guesses. Most officials in the court are on Xu Wuzhi's side and are controlled by him. When I left the palace, I saw that several officials' residences were heavily guarded. These officials have not submitted to Lord Xu."

"Now, I suspect that Master Xu..."

Chunzhi was a slave after all, and he couldn't say that word.

Song Wanning continued for him: "Xu Wuzhi wanted to seize power and usurp the throne."

Chunzhi was covered in cold sweat and nodded solemnly.

This could also explain why he attacked the emperor, causing him to fall into a coma, and also why he didn't allow Yun Che to enter the capital.

"What a wolfish ambition Xu Wuzhi has. He is a prime minister without any royal blood, yet he wants to seize power and usurp the throne. He doesn't even think about whether people in the world agree with him?" Gu Yong was so angry that he wanted to rush back to the capital and chop off Xu Wuzhi's head with a knife.

"General, what should we do next?" Lei Ting asked.

"The best plan now is to find a way to get into the city. If we can't get in, we won't be able to rescue the emperor."

Yun Che pondered and asked again: "Eunuch Chunzhi, you just said that the emperor suddenly fell into a coma?"

Chunzhi nodded: "Yes, during the morning court session."

“Don’t you think it’s strange? When the emperor is in the morning court, there is no one within five steps of him. Even the eunuchs who serve him have to stand five steps away.” Yun Che said, smiled, and looked at Song Wanning.

Song Wanning continued his words, "So, the emperor must have been poisoned, but this poison can delay the onset. This kind of poison is very rare, so the people in the Imperial Hospital can't diagnose it."

"Well, do you think the emperor can be saved?"

Song Wanning put her hands on her hips, a little angry: "You don't believe me!"

"It's not that I don't believe it, but we don't know why the emperor is in a coma."

"Didn't I just guess that he was poisoned?"

"What if it's not poisoning?"

"Even if he wasn't poisoned, I could still rescue him!" Song Wanning said unhappily.

“Then I feel relieved.” Yun Che smiled. He believed in Song Wanning.

Now that the final problem has been solved, that is, how to make the emperor wake up, the next problem to be solved is the immediate problem - how to enter the capital.

"We don't have enough manpower when we come back, so we might as well call back the troops on the border urgently. This way, we will have a trump card to deal with Xu Wuzhi." Gu Yong suggested.

Song Wanning shook her head: "The army will move much slower than us. The emperor is old and weak. I am afraid that by the time the army returns, the emperor will not be able to hold on."

Before they could discuss for a while, Xu Lian, who was lying on the side, woke up.

As soon as she woke up, she started cursing and threatened to kill Chunzhi: "My father is the prime minister, second only to the emperor, how could he do such a treasonous thing? Believe it or not, I will go back and tell my father to kill you!"

As he spoke, he was about to walk towards the capital.

Lei Ting was startled and quickly controlled the man.

If she revealed everyone's whereabouts, not only would they not be able to save the emperor, but their lives would be in danger.

"Don't you want to live?!" Lei Ting shouted angrily in a low voice.

Xu Lian sneered: "Why wouldn't I want to live? Even if it's as he said, my father wants to rebel, I'm his daughter, he won't let anything happen to me. You still have time to please me now. After returning to Beijing, I'll say some good things for you, maybe my father will spare your lives."

Lei Ting was extremely angry. For such a long time, he had been trying to correct Xu Lian and change her character, only because he knew that their marriage could not be changed and he had to be responsible for her.

Now Xu Lian's words made him completely disappointed.

He finally understood the meaning of the phrase "human nature is evil."

"Are you scared? Let me go!"

Just when Song Wanning felt she could no longer tolerate it and was planning to poison Xu Lian to make her unconscious, Lei Ting took action.

This time, he hit Xu Lian's neck in another place with his knife, and the force was so great that even Song Wanning exclaimed in surprise.

This time, Xu Lian wouldn’t wake up for another five or six hours.

Lei Ting took action, tied up Xu Lian, and stuffed Xu Lian into the carriage.

Song Wanning secretly gave him a thumbs up.

Several people continued to discuss how to enter the capital.

Song Wanning suddenly thought of something: "Why not send a message to my parents? Yun Si and Yun Tang are also in the capital. Tell them the news, and they can come to pick us up in the city!"
