Inside the palace, the golden bricks exude a low-key yet luxurious luster, the carved beams and painted buildings in the room are extremely exquisite, and the auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes are lifelike, as if they are about to break through the walls.

Shangguan Huan was lying on the chaise longue, with a maid beside her dyeing her nails. Two palace maids were kneeling in front of her, gently massaging her legs.

Shangguan Huan opened her eyes, and the head maid came forward to listen to her instructions.

"Give the order and set off back tomorrow."

It had been almost four months since she came to the palace. After taking a bowl of medicine, her stomach troubles were gone and she nursed back to health for another two months. In the next two months, she indulged herself every night.

These few days, she suddenly felt tired and felt that there was nothing interesting and it was time to go back to the palace.

The first thing she did when she returned to the palace was to let that bitch Concubine Chun know that not everyone can mess with her.

"Yes!"

The eldest maid was about to go out after receiving the order when she saw a masked man coming in. The palace maid was startled.

Shangguan Huan sat up straight, frowned and said, "You are trying to kill yourself. I told you not to show up in front of people!"

"Empress Dowager, it's too late! The Black Armor Army rebelled, the late emperor returned to the palace, the emperor was beheaded, the Shangguan family was raided, Empress Dowager, hurry up and leave with your subordinates!"

Shangguan Huai frowned, his face blank, and said sternly: "What are you talking about? I don't understand a word you said!"

"It's too late to explain. If we don't leave now, it will be too late!"

"You said the Black Armor Army rebelled? Didn't the late emperor die? How can he return to the palace? And..."

"Your Highness, please leave with me. I will explain the details to you on the way."

This man is a death warrior trained by the Shangguan family and it is impossible for him to betray her.

She immediately stood up: "Let's go!"

Just then, there was a commotion outside.

Two more assassins came in, "Chief, the imperial court has arrived!"

"Protect the queen, go!"

Before leaving the palace, a team of imperial guards rushed in.

"The virtuous concubine poisoned the emperor and helped her son to rebel. Arrest her! No matter if she lives or dies!"

"kill!"

There were only four or five secret guards, but there were a thousand royal guards.

Amidst the bloody storm, Shangguan Huan held her head and screamed.

The secret guards were quickly killed, and the imperial guards slowly approached Shangguan Huan.

"How dare you! How dare you! My son is the emperor! I am the queen mother! Are you rebelling?"

"Catch him!"

Shangguan Huan, who was barely able to even tie a chicken, was no match for the Imperial Guards and was quickly caught and put into a prison van.

Shangguan Huan felt like this was just a dream. She was the high and mighty empress dowager just now, how come she had become a prisoner now?

The late emperor returned to the palace, and the emperor was not dead? She had clearly checked, and he was clearly dead!

This must be a dream! It must be a dream!

……

At the same time, a team of imperial guards broke into Baichuan Academy.

When the students saw this scene, they immediately started talking about it.

These scholars all had some backers, so they were not very scared when they saw the Royal Guards. Instead, they stood far away and watched the fun.

"Who committed this serious crime?"

"Is it murder or robbery?"

"Hey, hey, hey? Why are you going to the teachers' tea room?"

"Let's go and have a look."

Seeing so many imperial guards coming, the headmaster and the teachers were also shocked.

Before the dean could say anything, Shangguan Jing stood up and asked, "Who allowed you to trespass into the academy? Whose orders did you follow?"

"We are following the Emperor's orders to arrest the traitor!"

There was no fear on Shangguan Jing's face. She was the aunt of the current emperor, so what was she afraid of?

Hearing the word "traitor", she said righteously, "There is actually a traitor in the academy, who is it? We will never protect a traitor!"

"Who is Shangguan Jing?"

Shangguan Jing raised her head: "It's me."

The little leader of the Imperial Guard waved: "Take it away!"

Two imperial guards immediately stepped forward, grabbed Shangguan Jing's arms on the left and right and twisted them backwards.

"How dare you! Do you know who I am? If you dare to touch me, watch out for your heads!"

But no matter how she struggled and yelled, the Royal Guards remained expressionless and escorted her out.

Even though Shangguan Jing was not popular in the academy, the dean still stood up.

The headmaster stopped the imperial guards and said, "Sir, may I ask what crime Master Shangguan has committed?"

"Prince Rui murdered the king and forged the will. Now the truth has come to light. The emperor has ordered that all members of the Shangguan family be imprisoned and await trial."

Everyone was confused.

"Prince Rui? The Emperor? Isn't he the same person?"

"Forging a will? Killing the king?"

The headmaster asked cautiously, "Who is the emperor that the adults are talking about?"

"The emperor faked his death and has now returned to the palace safely. Prince Rui has been executed."

As soon as these words came out, the scene was in an uproar.

Shangguan Jing's face turned pale: "No! Impossible!"

"This is unbelievable!"

"Is this true? I want to go home and ask my dad for confirmation!"

"Wait for me, I'll go back too!"

The students couldn't wait to run out of the academy.

After a thrilling day, the once high-ranking Shangguan family was thrown into jail.

Early the next morning, the court announced the evidence of Chu Ze's treason, causing an uproar inside and outside the court.

People are talking about it on the streets.

The dynasty changed in one day, but it can't be said to be a change of dynasty, because the throne originally belonged to Emperor Zhaolie.

In fact, it has little to do with the people who becomes the emperor between the father and the son, but the resurrection of Emperor Zhaolie really makes the people curious.

The storytellers in the teahouse have told dozens of versions of the story.

"We said a few days ago that the Prince of Chen had lost this time, but we never expected that as soon as the Prince of Chen came back, he would directly wipe out the Emperor... that person and the Shangguan family."

"I didn't realize that Prince Chen was so powerful."

"If someone forces my sister or steals my wife, I will fight to the death!"

"You said that the emperor is doing well, why do you have to provoke him?"

"That guy is also a cruel person. He killed his father and his king. What a ruthless person."

"No wonder the Prince of Chen asked for such a faraway fiefdom. If it were closer, wouldn't it be easier for people to find out that the Emperor is still alive?"

"You're really patient. You've endured it for a whole year!"

"Yes, of the emperor's several sons, only Prince Chen is left. There is no doubt about who will be the crown prince."

"Ms. Cheng is a man of foresight. I thought she was stupid and threw away the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds. I didn't expect..."

"Do you think Prince Chen will marry Miss Cheng?"

"It's not a good deal if you're the one who's ...

"That can't be said. Miss Cheng resolutely accompanied Prince Chen in Liping and endured hardships for a year."

"If you can be engaged, you will be my wife. If you run away, you will be my concubine..."

Now that Prince Chen is the only prince, many people have become interested.

Although Prince Chen was engaged to Miss Cheng, he abandoned his parents and ran away before the marriage took place. This is a stain.

A person with a stain cannot become the Crown Princess or the future Queen Mother.

The palace banquet two days later will be their chance.
