Hearing this, Ji Xunchuan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the person next to him in disbelief.

"What did you say!? Say it again!"

Shen Ying's eyes revealed stubbornness, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "I said, she is dead!"

Snapped!

A slap landed heavily on Shen Ying's face, and a line of hot tears fell instantly.

"If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can go ask her. Shen Wantang is already terminally ill and can no longer be cured. Why would I lie to you about these things?"

Shen Ying turned around and shouted loudly.

Ji Xunchuan stood up instantly and walked out with big strides.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what are you going to do?" The eunuch beside him hurriedly followed.

"Prepare the sedan chair, go to the Shen Mansion, and see Shen Wantang!" Ji Xunchuan said sternly.

The eunuch trotted along beside him, his voice trembling, "Your Majesty, some time ago, someone came to report this matter, and the memorial is in your imperial study!"

Ji Xunchuan slowly stopped, his face full of disbelief, and grabbed the eunuch: "Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

The eunuch was in a panic: "Your Majesty, you were busy checking the fish belly at that time, so I didn't tell you..."

"Prepare the sedan chair!" Ji Xunchuan pushed the eunuch away.

The eunuch hurriedly caught up and knelt beside Ji Xunchuan: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, you must not do this! Now everyone is watching you, and your every move will be infinitely magnified in the eyes of the people. If you go to the Shen Mansion at this time, it is really inappropriate!"

Ji Xunchuan clenched his fists, and his bones creaked.

Then he slowly turned his head and looked at the palace behind him, gritting his teeth and said, "Princess Ying, from today on, you are confined to the palace. You are not allowed to go out without my order!"

He left after saying a few cruel words.

"Where is the emperor?" Shen Ying leaned against the door frame, stretched her neck and looked not far away.

Shen Ying's eyes turned cold when the eunuch beside him hurried over and announced the imperial decree.

"Your Majesty, thank you for all the arrangements today. If His Majesty knew it was you... you would be in danger of losing your life today..." The maid beside her comforted Shen Ying.

"As long as I am alive, there will always be a day when I will be favored again." Shen Ying smiled and looked at herself in the bronze mirror.

At daybreak, on a mass grave outside the capital, white sails fluttered in the wind, and two figures slowly emerged.

After looking around, he found the location, picked up a shovel and started digging.

"This is it!"

When the sky brightened, Shen Wantang slowly opened his eyes, and then burst into coughing violently.

Cen Xiao, who was standing by, rushed forward, looked Shen Wantang up and down, and asked hurriedly: "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Shen Wantang shook his head and let out a long sigh: "Thank you for your hard work."

Cen Xiao also let out a heavy breath: "It's not hard for me at all. It's you who are really scared to death by taking such a big risk."

"But how do you know what kind of poison Shen Ying will give you?" Cen Xiao sat aside, picked up the unfinished antidote on the table, and looked at it carefully.

Shen Wantang knew the poison best.

After all, he died from this poison in his previous life.

"There is only one kind of poison in the palace, and I have heard of it." Shen Wantang made up a lie and spoke.

"Your Highness must be getting impatient. I'm well now and we can discuss this together." Shen Wantang sat up, but she still felt dizzy when she first sat up.

"Don't worry, I have already told His Highness, and he told you to rest and recuperate."

Cen Xiao came forward and wanted to let Shen Wantang rest for a while.

But Shen Wantang still didn't want to lie down anymore. Now Ji Xunchuan was already anxious. Although the fish belly trick had some effect, it was ultimately suppressed by Ji Xunchuan.

Shen Wantang stood up and put on his shoes: "It's important to conspire for something big."

Then he left the room.

"Now, this matter cannot be confined to the capital. We must let the people of the whole world know that the emperor is incompetent and God has doomed Dacheng. We must make this matter a reality."

Chen Kangjian frowned slightly, rubbed his chin with his fingers, and spoke slowly.

That's true. Bai Ge stood up and said, "Leave it to me."

People always trust Bai Ge to do things.

This matter has been resolved, but there is still one thing that is a bit tricky.

"Now that something like this has happened, the defense of the capital has been tightened a lot. If the rebels want to sneak into the city, I'm afraid it will be difficult..."

Xia Huai'en spoke slowly. After thinking for several days, he still had no useful clues.

Running around the streets these days and having to hide his identity really exhausted this top scorer in the imperial examination.

"Spring Examination!"

A familiar voice sounded, and everyone raised their heads and looked outside the door.

Shen Wantang came hurriedly and said, "Next year, there will be no checkpoints in the capital, and people from all walks of life can enter and leave freely."

As soon as the words fell, everyone suddenly understood. Xia Huai'en slapped his head in surprise - how could he, the top scholar, not have thought of this!

"Winter is coming now, I'll write a letter over here." Chen Kangjian stood up excitedly.

Ji Xunze frowned slightly and looked at Shen Wantang beside him: "Miss Shen is just getting well, why did she come out?"

"Your Highness, I am in good health and do not need to rest for too long." Shen Wantang nodded.

After hearing Shen Wantang's words, Ji Xunze stopped asking further questions.

"The time of the uprising has not been decided yet. The rebels will arrive around the Spring Examination. Can we prepare now?"

Xia Huai'en spoke slowly, his eyes falling on Ji Xunze.

This matter can only be discussed by Ji Xunze. If anyone else talks about it, it would be distracting.

Ji Xunze frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "It will be ten days after the Spring Examination."

Ten days after the Spring Examination, the results have not yet been announced. After the uprising is successful, Ji Xunze can also select suitable people to enter the court and cultivate his confidants.

"Dad has the defense map of the capital city. I'll go get it." Cen Xiao spoke slowly.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the east wind.

After everyone left, Shen Wantang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now Shen Wantang is no longer in this world." She raised her head and looked at the sky, muttering to herself.

But when he lowered his eyes, he thought of his father again. He wondered what kind of situation his father was in prison.

"I'm going to the inner prison to visit General Shen tomorrow. Miss Shen, would you like to go with me?" Xia Huai'en walked forward slowly, straightened his sleeves, and spoke casually.

A hint of surprise flashed across Shen Wantang's eyes, and his voice was a little stammering: "D-really?"

"I'm sorry, young lady, you have to wear a mask and not communicate with General Shen." Xia Huai'en nodded, but there was a layer of gloom in his eyes.

It was already a rare opportunity to meet someone, and Shen Wantang did not expect to be able to say anything.
