The counselors became more and more excited as they spoke, as if it was really as they had imagined, that they could attack when advancing or defend when retreating, and were in an invincible position.

The King of Wei felt elated after hearing this and thought that it was indeed true. His current situation was not as bad as he had imagined.

He has an army of 50,000.

Yunmeng slept until she woke up naturally. When she got up, she found Mobao at home, so she asked curiously:

"Why didn't you go to school at the Rui Palace?"

"Mother, Master said to give me a day off so that I can stay at home and accompany mother."

Mo Bao held the towel in both hands and handed it to Yun Meng, replacing Chun Zhi's position, "Mom, do you like me to accompany you?"

"I like it. With Mobao by my side, I can eat three more bowls of rice."

Yunmeng wiped her hands and face, handed the towel to Chunzhi, and walked towards the dining room holding Mobao's hand, "Did Prince Rui say anything else to you?"

"No, just let me stay at home with my mother and don't run around."

Yun Meng raised her eyebrows after hearing this. She was staying at home and not running around. Was something big going to happen in the capital?

What big thing could happen in the capital?

Yunmeng looked in the direction of the imperial palace. Wow, she saw blood boiling above the palace, and it looked like a war was about to break out.

Is the King of Wei going to take action?

Or is the Emperor going to take action?

Yun Meng touched her nose guiltily, thinking that this war couldn't have been caused by her.

That's a real sin.

I don’t know who will win?

Yunmeng looked back at Chunzhi and asked, "Is there any gossip in the city?"

"Replying to Princess, there is no day when the city is short of gossip. I will tell you."

Chunzhi became interested in gossip and was ready to talk a lot.

Today she and Ah Hua chatted a lot about the secret affairs of various governments. You would not have known about them until you talked about them. Once you talked about them, you would have been shocked.

The backyards of each mansion are where murders are most frequent.

"Please focus on the changes in various places in the capital, and we can talk about other private matters in the mansion later."

Yunmeng pointed out Chunzhi's words, saying that this silly girl didn't even consider the occasion. Mobao is here. If she heard too much secrets about the royal family, she would never get married.

I believe that no man can feel at ease marrying a large number of wives after knowing so many secret tricks in the harem.

"Here."

Chunzhi took the order, sorted out the big and small things in her mind, and then prepared to start talking.

Yunmeng and Mobao sat at the table, eating and listening. Yunmeng sensed a different flavor when she listened.

First of all, several ministers from the lineage of King Wei stepped down, and they were all from departments with a lot of money.

Emperor Yong'an acted quickly. While dismissing officials in the court, the imperial guards also sealed off the mansions and confiscated properties. It was obvious that this was planned in advance.

In addition, more soldiers were stationed at each city gate, and the number of soldiers patrolling the city also increased significantly.

They claimed that they were searching for thieves, but I'm afraid many people could see the real reason.

Otherwise, Prince Rui would not have asked Mo Bao to return home.

This was because they were afraid that Mo Bao would be accidentally injured in a fight, and they were also afraid that Mo Bao would be kidnapped on the road and become a handle to threaten the Prince Qi's Mansion.

"Today, urgent news came from the south. The horse ran very fast and hit many shops along the way. Pedestrians were also injured."

"What urgent news? Is there any news?" Yun Meng asked.

"It is said that the war in the south is intense and reinforcements are needed. There is also a shortage of food and fodder. Please, Your Majesty, send someone to deliver food as soon as possible."

Chunzhi thought of the rumors in the market and said, "Some people in the market said that the previous food and grass were embezzled by the Ministry of War, and the soldiers on the front line could not get enough to eat.

There is also news that the soldiers were too hungry to hold their weapons, which led to the failure on the battlefield. Otherwise, they would have returned victorious long ago."

"So much news?"

Yunmeng took a bite of the bun and felt that the news was a bit secretive. How would the people in the capital know whether the soldiers on the front line could eat enough?

This must be news that was spread intentionally by someone. Who spread it?

"That's not all the news. There's a rumor going around that the prince was poisoned. It's so convincing. Ah Hua said they're investigating the source.

Judging from the direction of the rumors, those people seem to be targeting the emperor."

"It's good that the news of the prince being poisoned has spread. The one who should be worried is the King of Wei."

After Yun Meng finished speaking, he lowered his head and drank his porridge, thinking that the King of Wei was about to rebel, so he would not take the initiative to spread the news, so who would spread it?

Suddenly Yunmeng looked up in the direction of the imperial palace. Could it be that the message came from Emperor Yong'an?

Emperor Yong'an couldn't possibly want to convict the King of Wei by poisoning the King of Qi, but he had no evidence in his hands.

Unless Emperor Yong'an doesn't need evidence.

Yun Meng saw the notebook in the space and was sure that King Wei had played a major role in poisoning King Qi.

But the poisoning went so smoothly that Yunmeng felt that the King of Wei was just a pawn.

The real masters are always hiding in the dark and planning their plans, and those in the light are just pawns.

Then it would be interesting to use the King of Qi's case to cause trouble.

"Princess, Lord Lu sent me a message saying that the Yun family cannot be transferred back to Beijing for the time being. They will continue to work hard, so don't worry."

"Oh, do you know which families don't let the Yun family return to Beijing?" Yun Meng asked.

"A lot. Lord Lu said that several factions don't want the Yun family to return to Beijing, fearing that they will disrupt the current balance."

Chunzhi asked in confusion, "Why would the return of the master and his men to the capital upset the balance?"

"I also want to know why." Yun Meng spread his hands. What abilities did the Yun family have that made them so afraid?

It’s a pity that the Yun family was exiled too far away. It takes too long to send a letter these days and it’s not safe. Otherwise, Yun Meng really wanted to write a letter to ask.

Chunzhi was amused by Yunmeng's actions and started talking about other gossip with a smile.

In the imperial study of the palace, Emperor Yong'an sat at his desk listening to the Dark Dragon Guards reporting on the movements of various prefectures.

When he curled his lips when he heard that there were personnel transfers in various mansions of the Prince of Wei's lineage, he knew that the Prince of Wei would not be able to hold back his anger and would definitely jump out.

It would be better to take action tonight. If the King of Wei makes the first move, he will kill all the members of the King of Wei's mansion, and the officials will have no reason to defend themselves.

Rebels have always had only one way out: death.

"Your Majesty, do we need to guide the topic of the poisoning case of King Qi?" asked the leader of the Dark Dragon Guard.

"No, you just need to find out who is guiding the topic. You must find the real person behind the scenes."

Emperor Yong'an pinched his brows, his eyes complicated, "Prince Qi, it's a pity that you died."

In the Princess's mansion, the Princess and her husband were sitting in the study. Both of them had complicated expressions, especially the Princess.

When she heard that the King of Wei was making trouble, the princess was excited, as if she saw an opportunity.

But thinking about the lost weapons, the princess' excitement slowly died down. If you want to rebel, you need weapons, food, and soldiers.

The eldest princess knew that she was not ready yet and had no chance to take advantage of the chaos.

What a pity, what a pity.

The Grand Consort stared at the Princess's complicated expression and suddenly said:

"Why don't we take advantage of the chaos and seize the opportunity when the King of Wei is rebelling and the Emperor is exhausted from suppressing the rebellion, and then we can strike out and take over the palace in one fell swoop."

"It's a good idea, but forget it." The princess curled her lips, "How many soldiers do we have? How many soldiers does the emperor have? We are not strong enough to fight at all."
