Before dawn, Yuan Hongdao, who was so shocked, fled along a small alley in Xicheng to Hechifang. He was careful along the way, avoiding the pursuit of the Supervision Office and the patrol of the Kyoto Garrison Division, and finally came to a private house.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sat at the table with some silly feeling, stupid and speechless for a long time. In his life, he didn't know how many major things he had done, and even his ex-prime master was caught by him, but this scene in the early morning still made him feel thrilling.

I guess everyone in the Princess Beppu was dead. In a sense, these people were killed by Yuan Hongdao. The problem is that in everyone's perception, Yuan Hongdao is now a confidant around the Princess, so if he had not escaped before, he would probably be killed by the swordsmen of the Sixth Division of the Supervision Bureau on the spot.

If Fei Jie didn't take the lead.

This private house is the most secret transit station of the Supervision Bureau. Yuan Hongdao turned his head and saw a cup of tea on the table. He drank it without hesitation, moistening his extremely dry throat.

"Aren't you afraid that this tea will be poisonous?"

A middle-aged man walked out of the inner room with a smile. It was Mr. Xiaoyan's father, the ex-leader, who was commanding everywhere, Yan Ruohai.

Yuan Hongdao glanced at him vigilantly, confirmed the other party's identity and whispered: "I didn't expect to survive."

In the eyes of this most successful Infinite Walker in Qing Kingdom, the half-hour arrest in the early morning has shown that His Majesty no longer tolerate the eldest princess, and he believes that with the action of His Majesty and Dean Chen, it only takes half an hour for the eldest princess side to be cleaned up.

If the eldest princess no longer poses any threat, then her death will naturally be erased, but Yuan Hongdao did not feel sad, because since he followed Lin Ruofu many years ago, he was ready to sacrifice for the Qing Kingdom at any time.

However, Yan Ruohai just smiled, took out all the requirements for clearance procedures and disguise prepared for him, and said, "You have not been in the yard for a long time, maybe I don't know. Your Majesty and the Dean will never abandon any subordinate easily."

Yan Ruohai was slightly stunned and smiled bitterly.

At this time, another woman in civilian costume flashed in from the back door with panic on her face. When the woman saw Yuan Hongdao's face clearly, her lips opened wide and showed a shocked expression. She seemed to have never expected that the other party would appear here.

Yuan Hongdao was also extremely surprised because he had seen this woman in Xinyang. At that time, the woman's identity was the confidant palace maid next to the eldest princess... It turned out that this palace maid was actually His Majesty's person!

Yan Ruohai glanced at the palace maid, frowned and said, "You came out a little late."

The palace maid bowed her head and replied: "Last night, I just left. Eunuch Hong personally took the horse to surround Guangxin Palace... I dare not walk casually, so I'm slow."

Yan Ruohai glanced at the two of them and said, "Both are both heroes in the court. Your Majesty and the Dean are very satisfied with your performance over the years. Today, things are urgent, so I have to let you meet to prevent you from not knowing each other's identities in the future and causing unnecessary losses."

Without too many extra words, Yan Ruohai explained something a few words and began to send the two most successful secret spies from the Supervision Bureau to Kyoto.

Yuan Hongdao frowned and said, "Where are we going?"

"You go back to Xinyang." Yan Ruohai said word by word: "Go and wait in Xinyang."

Yuan Hongdao couldn't believe his ears, so he raised his head and asked, "You mean... the eldest princess will still reply to Xinyang?"

"Just in case." Yan Ruohai said softly: "No one can tell you about the royal affairs... As for how to explain after returning to Xinyang, I will tell you slowly."

He turned to the palace maid and said, "You are lurking in the capital. If there is any change in the future, you will still need to enter the palace."

Finally, the senior official of the Supervision Bureau, who had nominally retired, bowed sincerely to Yuan Hongdao and the palace maid, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

The room became quiet. Yan Ruohai looked at the wall outside the window, thought of the colleague who had just left, and frowned slightly. He didn't know what he was thinking. After a long time, he laughed.

With the strength of the eldest princess, it only takes half an hour to dig out the hidden forces in Kyoto, and use the fastest speed and most thunderous means to clean them up, making them look so relaxed and comfortable... It is completely inconsistent with the world's awesome assessment of the eldest princess, because the Supervision Bureau had buried two nails beside the eldest princess a long time ago.

Especially Yuan Hongdao's nail, he was arranged beside Shusheng Lin when the eldest princess fell in love with the handsome scholar Lin in the imperial examination.

If the palace maid only grasped some of the princess's personal preferences and arranged for Hong Zhu to "accidentally" discover the secret matter, and Yuan Hongdao is now a Xinyang strategist, he is extremely clear about the princess' strength and goal.

There was such a person who secretly helped the Supervisory Office to convey the message that the eldest princess could not withstand the wind and rain of the Supervisory Office. The reason why Chen Pingping never regarded the eldest princess as an enemy worthy of attention and the reason why the Supervisory Office's actions today seemed so accurate and vicious is because of this.

Yuan Hongdao was the first basket of nails to be scattered when the Supervisory Institute was established. After so many years of wear and tear in the court, he was the only one left in the basket of nails. However, he does not know that the current Supervisory Institute is no longer the Supervisory Institute of the past.

Chen Pingping has long been indifferently standing between these people and His Majesty. The so-called undercurrent is like this. Everything is for the sake of celebrating the country, but in fact, everything about them must be arranged by Chen Pingping.

When it was still dark, in that huge mansion, the old man who liked to grow cabbage had already gotten up and used a wooden ladle to water the ground.

The military is the most respected and respected old man. Mr. Qin is old, so he gets up earlier than ordinary people.

His second son got up very early today, and now he serves as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. Qin Heng, who was forced to leave the garrison of Kyoto, rushed over from the Qianyuan with a sad face and wore a single jacket on his body. He leaned into his old father's ear and whispered a few words.

Although he is no longer the commander of the Kyoto garrison, the Qin family has many eyes and ears in the army. At the first time, they knew about the abnormal movements in Kyoto and the actions of the Supervisory Office this morning.

Mr. Qin frowned slightly, and a hint of surprise appeared on his old face: "Your Majesty takes action against the eldest princess... Why?"

No one knows why. His Majesty the Emperor of Qing Kingdom suddenly took action after so quiet for so long, especially the background of the eldest princess who has been so well-behaved in the past few months.

"What should we do?" Qin Heng asked worriedly. If His Majesty's action today was just the beginning of a big action, who would be the unfortunate next time?

"We don't want to do anything." Old Master Qin sighed and said, "Do you want to rebel? You shouldn't ask such questions."

"But... the eldest princess knows some things about our family."

Mr. Qin sneered and said, "What's the matter? The Ming family's dormitory is or the navy in Jiaozhou? Your cousin is dealing with it in Jiaozhou. There will be no handle in the palace. As for the Ming family... Your Majesty will never burn my old bones for 10% of the dormitory."

"But..." Qin Heng was still a little worried. "If the eldest princess loses power today, we will not take action... In the future, Fan Xian will dominate the court. I am very worried about what Fan Xian will do in the future."

Mr. Qin frowned and said, "The key is whether Li Yunrui can survive today."

"You mean that Your Majesty will give the eldest princess death?" Qin Heng widened his eyes, unable to believe his ears. "How could the Empress Dowager allow such a thing to happen! Is Your Majesty afraid of chaos in the court?"

Mr. Qin sneered and said, "If I were His Majesty, I would not move against a crazy character like the eldest princess. If I had to move, I would have to kill him... But you are right. There is also an empress dowager in the palace. His Majesty is a monarch who cherishes his reputation, so Li Yunrui may not die."

"If Li Yunrui dies, nothing we do is useless." Mr. Qin threw Mu Piao on the ground and said, "If she can survive by chance, we can do nothing now... Believe me, as long as she can live, the future counterattack will definitely be very crazy, and then... we will have a chance."

The palace gate was closed, and the copper nails on the door looked like the prominent eyes of ghosts, staring at the people with sad faces outside the palace wall. There were not many people waiting for news outside the palace, mainly the eldest prince and the Kyoto garrison Xie Su and his group. They looked at the closed palace gate and didn't know what was going on inside, but they already knew that the Supervisory Office had arrested all the senior officials on the eldest princess' side and sent them to Dali Temple.

The eldest prince frowned very tightly, and after a moment, he suddenly said, "No. I want to enter the palace and give advice."

Xie Su carefully pulled his lichen sleeve and lowered his voice and said, "Master! Don't be confused. This is not something that we ministers can talk to at this time."

The eldest prince frowned and said, "I can't watch this scene happen. What should I do if the emperor and grandmother do?"

The Empress Dowager Qing State was still lying high in Hanguang Hall at this time, and she was sleeping very sweetly. The news transmission inside and outside Hanguang Hall had been cut off by the Emperor Qing State to ensure that no one from other palaces would come to disturb the Queen Mother's rest and tell the Queen Mother what was happening in some palaces.

Guangxin Palace, not far from Hanguang Palace, is the bedroom of the Empress Dowager's youngest daughter, Li Yunrui, the eldest princess of Qingguo. At this time, Guangxin Palace is different from the usual quiet and wonderful scenes.

An old eunuch with a hunched body stood at the door of Guangxin Palace like a dead tree in winter.

The dead trees are here, and there is no clear scenery.

The eldest princess Li Yunrui stood outside the threshold inside Guangxin Palace, looked at the old eunuch outside the palace indifferently, and said, "Eunuch Hong, I want to see my mother."

The old eunuch Hong did not speak or responded to other people. The eunuchs from Guangxin Palace were busy in the palace, busy carrying the bodies from all corners of Guangxin Palace.

Twenty-seven palace maids in Guangxin Palace, including the eldest princess who had close body and martial arts, were all dead at this time, with several corpses under the wall outside the palace. It was obvious that at first they intended to cross the wall for help.

However, since the old eunuch Hong brought people here personally, the underground palace maids in Guangxin Palace had no ability to fight back and were killed all of them, and no one even had time to say a word.

No one wants to hear them speak. His Majesty's will is clear, and no one is allowed to speak, and they will be killed.

The eunuchs carried the bodies of the palace maids onto several broken carriages. Then they walked to the burning ground, and blood flowed from the empty carriage room along the way, dripping on the stone road in the palace, which seemed particularly shocking.

Another eunuch held a broom in his hand and pulled a cart of loess behind him. He sprinkled the soil on the blood and swept it clean.

After a while, the carriage was far away. The blood on the stone slab gradually became shallow, and gradually turned into extremely shallow marks, as if there was nothing.

It was not until this time that the old eunuch Hong slowly raised his head and said weakly: "Your Highness, the Empress Dowager, is resting. Your Majesty asks you not to disturb her. Please wait for a moment, your Majesty will come to see you later."

A trace of resentment flashed in the eyes of the eldest princess Qingmei. Her hands hanging beside her slowly clenched. After a moment, she laughed, bowed slightly politely, and said, "That palace... is waiting for the emperor's brother here."

After saying this, she turned around and entered the palace and closed the wooden door.

Old Eunuch Hong was still hunched over, like a dead tree. He was quietly guarding outside Guangxin Palace. Although the branches of this tree had no leaves, it felt like it was stretching around Guangxin Palace, wrapping the upper and lower parts of the palace, making the woman in the palace a little difficult to breathe.

There was noisy and chaos in the Eastern Palace, and everyone was panicked. The queen, who did not wear jewelry and came out from plain face, looked at the eunuchs who were uninvited. She was furious. Her eyebrows stood up and cursed: "You dog slaves! Do you want to rebel, don't you?"

Eunuch Yao bowed respectfully and said softly: "Empress, I am afraid, I am just carrying the emperor's order and have to obey it."

At this moment, the pale-faced prince also walked out of the back hall. He looked at the eunuchs and guards in the hall, his eyes shrank slightly, and found that the people who came were all absolute confidants of the father in the Taiji Hall and the Imperial Study Room. He didn't know what had happened, so he made these slaves dare to break into the Eastern Palace to make trouble, but he knew that this must be what the father meant.

But...why is this? The prince forcibly suppressed a deep fear in his heart and asked calmly: "Eunuch Yao, what is this for?"

Eunuch Yao bowed and reported respectfully: "Your Majesty heard that someone in the Eastern Palace was not clean and worried that His Highness the Crown Prince and the Empress would be the queen, so he sent a small land to take these servants to Taichang Temple for review."

This is naturally a false excuse. The queen and the prince looked at each other and saw the other's uneasiness and doubts. The death of a palace maid could not cause such a big disturbance.

The queen forced her anger deep in her heart and gritted her teeth and said, "The affairs in the palace have never been managed by me? Your Majesty is worried about national affairs, so why bother him with these trivial matters? Eunuch Yao... Which servants talk too much and alarm Your Majesty?"

Eunuch Yao stood calmly below without replying.

The prince sighed and asked, "Since it is the father's intention, then take it for trial."

As soon as this statement came out, the eunuchs and palace maids who had already gathered in the Eastern Palace were wailing. Although they didn't know what their destiny was, they also knew that the place of Taichang Temple was even more terrifying than the Black Prison.

"How many people are you going to bring?"

"All." Eunuch Yao raised his head and said softly.

The queen took a breath of air conditioning, shook her lips for a while, and said angrily: "Is there no one in this palace to serve?"

"I will be re-sent soon to serve the two masters." Eunuch Yao said respectfully, then waved his hand and directed his eunuchs and guards to tie up dozens of eunuchs and palace maids in the East Palace.

The people were tied up along the way, and some people were begging for mercy in a low voice, but the people brought by Eunuch Yao not only tied up people, but also tied up the mouths of these people.

The queen knew that there must be a big problem today. She turned around and looked at the prince helplessly, wanting to know the truth from her son's eyes. However, the prince's face turned pale at this time and he didn't know how to deal with it.

Eunuch Yao and his group were about to leave the Eastern Palace when Emperor Qing came in from outside the palace, frowned slightly, and said, "What's going on?"

When the queen saw this scene, she quickly took the prince forward and said sadly and angrily: "Your Majesty, are you planning to turn this place into a cold palace?"

The emperor glanced at her in disgust, but he didn't even look at the prince. He said to Eunuch Yao directly: "How did I give me the order?"

A very light sentence, Eunuch Yao knelt on the ground with a frightened voice, kowtowed repeatedly, and then turned around and said something fiercely.

The queen and the prince looked at the scene in a daze, then the queen screamed and fainted on the prince's body.

because……

Just outside the most sacred palace in Qing Kingdom and the most lenient and kind-hearted East Palace, the guards raised their swords and suddenly softened downwards!

Countless sword winds sounded, dozens of muffled groans struggled from the blocked mouth, dozens of headless corpses twitched on the ground, and blood suddenly stained the courtyard of the East Palace, and the smell of blood rushed straight into the palace.
