Chapter 980 Ambitious

Gu Fei had just arrived at the gate of the Qianqing Palace when she ran into Master Su and Su Chen who had just entered the palace.

The two of them bowed to Gu Fei and then went in to pay respects to the emperor.

Su Chen knelt in front of the coffin and cried for a long time. His uncle had always been very good to him. He was naturally sad when his uncle suddenly passed away.

At this time, the eunuchs and palace maids everywhere were all in action.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs first found white cloth to make mourning clothes urgently. There was not enough white cloth in the palace, so people were sent out of the palace to find white cloth.

The emperor died suddenly, and there was no suitable coffin for a while. The Ministry of Internal Affairs found craftsmen overnight and looked for wood to make coffins.

In the middle of the night, all parts of the palace were busy.

As more people knew the news, it could not be concealed.

Concubine Rong also got the news quickly.

She was awakened by the palace maid and sat on the bed for a long time in a daze before she understood what the palace maid was talking about.

The emperor died!

How could it be?

She was still waiting for her son to grow up and inherit the throne!

The emperor once hinted to her that she should educate her son well.

She thought that what the emperor said was what she thought.

But now the emperor is dead, and her son has not been appointed as the prince.

What to do?

Concubine Rong bit her finger and turned around anxiously in the palace. Her son wanted to become the emperor, and now was the only chance.

There was still hope, her father held half of the troops in the camp outside the capital.

As long as she produced a forged edict first and let her son succeed to the throne, it would be too late to wait for the prince to come back.

Concubine Rong did not know that Xiao Yu had returned to the palace.

She thought that the prince was in the imperial mausoleum, and it would take at least a whole day to wait for the news to be passed on and then rush back. The journey of two or three hundred miles would take at least a whole day.

This whole day was the time she could grasp.

Thinking that her son was still young, if her son could succeed to the throne smoothly, she would be the empress dowager, and the Great Qi would be in her hands, and everyone in the world would crawl at her feet.

Concubine Rong felt her blood boiling for a moment. She did not hesitate any longer and quickly wrote a letter, handed it to her personal maid, and whispered: "I don't know if my father is at home or in the military camp. You should send this letter home immediately. If my father is at home, give it to my father. If my father is not, give the letter to my eldest brother and ask him to find my father quickly."

The maid nodded, went to the inner room to hide the letter, and then went out of the palace.

The maid hurriedly left the Chenggan Palace where Concubine Rong lived, and walked to a dimly lit place. Suddenly, someone knocked on the side of her neck, and she knew nothing.

Yun'er quickly carried the maid on her shoulders, signaled Qi'er to continue watching, and then performed Qinggong and returned to the East Palace.

She stuffed the maid into an empty room, pressed her acupoints, and searched for the letter from a very secret place on her body.

Yun'er took the letter and immediately went to the Qianqing Palace and handed the letter to Gu Fei.

The Qianqing Palace was in a mess at this time, and the eunuchs and maids were setting up the mourning hall.

Gu Fei finished reading the letter, sneered, and motioned Yun'er to hand the letter to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu was talking to Master Su about something. He took the letter and read it, then handed it to Master Su.

Master Su looked serious, "Prince, I don't know what the situation is with Marquis Jingrong at this moment. I'm afraid we have to send someone to the camp outside the capital."

Xiao Yu nodded, "Master, don't worry. The Crown Princess has already sent someone to send a letter to Duke Qin, asking him to go to the camp outside the capital to guard it."

Master Su sighed, "Fortunately, there is the Crown Princess, otherwise--"

Otherwise, the Crown Prince would not be able to come back for a while. If Concubine Rong's letter was sent out, and Marquis Jingrong really sent troops to surround the palace, it would be hard to tell who would win.
