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

Yun Che had a blank expression on his face as he straightened his sleeves. They were covered in dust from the time he was pretending to move the herbs.

"Since Eunuch Chunzhi has placed his hopes on us, then you don't have to worry about these things. The troops from the border will take at least two days to arrive. During this period, protecting the emperor's body is the most important thing. If you don't find a way to sneak in now, you can only sit and wait for death."

Chunzhi was stunned, then sighed, feeling a little guilty.

"General Yun, please forgive me for being short-sighted. The exit of the secret passage is not far from here. I will take you there right away."

Yun Tang and Yun Si originally wanted to follow him into the palace as well. They wanted to protect Yun Che's safety, but Yun Che refused.

"You stay here. Gu Yong is waiting outside the city to pick up the Yun family army. When they rush into the capital, we will need you to pick them up inside the city."

"The palace is not safe. The more people go there, the more likely it is to arouse suspicion from Xu Wuzhi's men. Only Wan Ning and I will go."

Yun Tang and Yun Si had no choice but to accept Yun Che's orders.

Yun Che and Song Wanning changed into eunuchs' clothes. Before leaving, Yun Che reminded Yun Si and Yun Tang of some things.

Just then, Xu Lian woke up.

Lei Ting knocked her out again without any hesitation.

Song Wanning looked at it and couldn't help but touch her neck, it hurt just looking at it.

Just like that, Chunzhi brought Yun Che and Song Wanning into the palace under the cover of night.

In the emperor's bedroom, Li Cheng originally wanted to serve the emperor alone, but he now felt that he was about to be promoted to the chief eunuch, and it was not worth it to serve a dying emperor, so he picked a few young eunuchs who looked good to do the work and serve him at the same time.

Chunzhi took Yun Che and Song Wanning to observe secretly for a while and figured out the pattern of their shift changes. While Li Cheng went back to rest, Yun Che knocked out the two young eunuchs who were about to go on duty, and then Song Wanning made up herself and Yun Che to look like them.

Chunzhi was stunned when he saw Song Wanning's superb kung fu.

“Eunuch Chunzhi, the emperor in the palace is now in our care. You hide first and don’t let Li Cheng find you.” Yun Che warned before entering.

Chunzhi assured him: "I have lived in this palace for decades, so it is easy for me to hide."

The two of them arrived in front of the hall, and the guards on duty checked them as usual. They first looked at their appearance, then searched their bodies before letting Yun Che and Song Wanning in.

Song Wanning couldn't help but sigh. The inspection was too strict. No wonder Chunzhi had always thought that they couldn't get in.

When they arrived at the imperial palace, there were only three people in the entire bedroom: Song Wanning, Yun Che, and the emperor lying on the bed.

Song Wanning first took the emperor's pulse, then frowned.

Yun Che was shocked and asked her in a low voice: "What's wrong? Is the situation not good?"

Song Wanning wanted to curse, but didn't bother to speak. She checked the top of the emperor's head. Her hands moved very gently, and after digging for a while, she really found a thin silver needle.

Then he pulled it out very neatly.

"Xu Wuzhi is too cruel. He used a silver needle to pierce his skull. If we were a little later, even if the emperor's poison was cured, he would have become a vegetable and would not have woken up."

Yun Che sneered: “Xu Wuzhi never wanted the emperor to live.”

"I'll detoxify first, you help me pay attention to the surrounding situation."

Song Wanning first gave the emperor an injection of antidote, and then used silver needles to pierce the emperor's various acupuncture points to clear the meridians in his body.

It took less than half an hour before it was finally over.

Song Wanning heaved a sigh of relief out of exhaustion, and Yun Che wiped the sweat off her face.

"You'll wake up in two hours."

The two men did not dare to let their guard down. They kept an eye on the situation outside the bedroom while looking after the emperor.

Two and a half hours later, the emperor woke up.

Yun Che was afraid that if he made a sound, the people outside would notice him, so he quickly put his hand to his lips, signaling the emperor to be quiet.

The emperor saw his appearance and movements and realized how complicated the situation was.

Yun Che whispered to the emperor what had happened since he fell into a coma.

The emperor nodded: "Yun Che, I am very pleased that you can come back to save me."

"As a subject, this is my duty."

Yun Che thought for a moment and said, “Your Majesty, it is not time for you to wake up yet. As long as the Yun family army does not return to the capital, we can only wait. With our current strength, we cannot defeat Xu Wuzhi.”

"Who is guarding outside?" the emperor asked him.

"Looking at their attire, they look like city defense troops."

The emperor nodded and said, "Then the imperial guards in my hands have not fallen into Xu Wuzhi's hands yet. You can take this tiger talisman and go to the commander of the imperial guards. When he sees it, he will naturally understand everything and follow you to deal with Xu Wuzhi."

After a while, it was time to change shifts, and Yun Che and Song Wanning left together.

The next morning, although the emperor was still unconscious, the morning court was still going on.

Xu Wuzhi had a chair prepared and placed in front of the dragon throne. He sat there and presided over the morning court.

Although they did not sit on the chair, the other ministers felt that it was very fast.

After the morning court session ended, Xu Wuzhi experienced this feeling of superiority for the first time in all these years.

He did not return home, but came to the emperor's bedroom.

"How is the emperor?" Xu Wuzhi asked Li Cheng.

Li Cheng naturally would not say that he had not taken care of him personally in the past two days. He now recognized Xu Wuzhi as his master.

"Same old situation, no improvement at all. The imperial physician is helpless and can only prescribe a few doses of medicine to feed him every day."

The emperor, lying on the bed, closed his eyes and heard their conversation clearly.

Xu Wuzhi was very satisfied: "Very good, just keep it like this."

Li Cheng asked him tentatively: "Master Xu, the emperor's body doesn't look like it will last for a few more days. When do you plan to take action?"

Xu Wuzhi smiled and said, "It's almost there, it's almost there."

Xu Wuzhi was not a royal relative, had no royal blood, and was not a person in power who held military power and could overthrow the government and suppress everything by force. It was not legitimate for him to ascend the throne.

The censors will not recognize him, and the people of the world will not recognize him even more.

But now that he controls the emperor and all the officials in the court, the situation is different.

If you want to have a good reputation, isn't that something that can be easily accomplished?

After leaving the emperor's bedroom, Xu Wuzhi came to the imperial study as if he was walking in his own home.

The emperor's seal, the symbol of supreme power, was placed on the table in the imperial study.

Xu Wuzhi drafted an imperial edict to pass on the throne to himself and then stamped it with the seal.

Now, he is the one who has the most legitimate right to ascend the throne.

The two young eunuchs, Song Wanning and Yun Che, were sweeping the yard outside the imperial study at this time. They saw Xu Wuzhi go in and come out with an imperial edict, and Song Wanning was puzzled.

"What does he do with the imperial edict?"

Yun Che withdrew his gaze calmly: "That is not the real imperial edict, it should be a fake imperial edict he wrote himself."
