Chapter 490: Unusual Movement

The morning court was cancelled for three days and three days, and the atmosphere in the palace became more and more subtle.

When the important officials in the court discussed matters with Prince Rong, they always looked at him with a little inquiry in their eyes, and they couldn't help but hint at something when they spoke.

However, Prince Rong behaved very calmly, with an unfathomable old fox on his face, without revealing any intentions, as if he deliberately wanted everyone to not guess his true thoughts.

The mood of the adults was like ants on a hot pot.

In contrast to the attitude of the important officials, the young officials were neither humble nor arrogant in front of Prince Rong.

When Prince Rong discussed matters with the cabinet ministers, most of the time, the young officials with low official titles were not qualified to participate. However, Chu Xuance, Wen Zhan and Yun Heng were the three people appointed by the imperial study to participate in politics. Even when Her Majesty the Queen discussed matters, the three of them were mostly present. Moreover, the current situation was delicate, so how could they fail in their duties?

Not only did the three of them attend every meeting, Chu Xuance also proposed that the young ministers should listen in and learn from experience, and Wen Zhan and Yun Heng also seconded the proposal - so the ministers were even more puzzled, which side Chu Xuance was on?

If the father and son of Prince Rong really had some shameful thoughts, Chu Xuance, as the second son of Prince Rong, should have asked the young ministers to avoid them as much as possible. Why did he take the initiative to bring them to the center of power?

Of course, the ministers didn't know that the future emperor would choose a free time in the morning to have a secret talk with Wen Zhan, Chu Xuance and others, and convey some "instructions from Her Majesty the Queen". Regardless of whether the instructions were true or false, Chu Xuance and Wen Zhan both respectfully accepted the orders.

Anyway, someone was responsible for the crime of falsely conveying the imperial edict, and they didn't get to see His Majesty, so they were only responsible for obeying the orders.

As for Fu Cang, although he has not left Changming Palace for the past two days, it does not mean that he does not care about what is happening outside. After a secret talk with Wen Zhan and others in the morning, there were Chu Xuanyi and the imperial guards outside Changming Palace. Fu Cang would occasionally leave for a while and arrange the dark pavilion shadow guards to closely watch the movements of the court officials inside and outside the palace.

And Fu Cang soon learned two things.

After Chu Qinghuang fell into a coma for seven days, King Ling intended to secretly let go of the Northern Frontier Emperor Duanmu Yu. The reason was that Chu Tianling had previously had dealings with Duanmu Yu. Even though Chu Tianling took the initiative to cut off contact because he was frightened by Chu Qinghuang's pressure, the handle was still in Duanmu Yu's hands. He was worried that sooner or later he would be betrayed by Duanmu Yu.

Letting Duanmu Yu go was also a favor he gave to Duanmu Yu. He had no chance in the past. Now that Her Majesty is staying in Changming Palace to rest, most of the imperial guards have been transferred to the main hall, and the defense of Duanmu Yu's residence should be relaxed.

After several days of observation and waiting, Chu Tianling finally sent several experts to wear the clothes of the imperial guards on the night of March 22nd. After sneaking into the palace, they arrived outside the palace where Duanmu Yu lived under the cover of night.

But this plan obviously could not go smoothly.

The experts Duanmu Yu brought before were very powerful. There were imperial guards and dark guards guarding outside the palace where he lived. Among them, the dark guards were the real main force of defense. Chu Tianling took it for granted that the defense was lax, so he had an opportunity to take advantage of it. However, he did not expect that the dark guards noticed the abnormality before the hands he sent took action.

After a cautious questioning, several suspicious people were quickly arrested, and the news was quickly reported to Fu Cang. He frowned: "Chu Tianling wants to let Duanmu Yu go?"

"I interrogated those masters, and they did say so."

Fu Cang was silent for a moment, his voice was calm but with a hint of murderous intent: "Duanmu Yu is useless, just kill him."

"Yes."

"How many masters are left around him?"

"Four."

"After killing Duanmu Yu, give them the body and let them take it to the border and give it to the prince of Northern Frontier." Fu Cang frowned, his handsome eyes lingering with a cold and ruthless aura, "By the way, talk to Qi Ling's subordinates. "I told the soldiers that the Emperor of Northern Frontier had condescended to come to Xiqi in person, intending to assassinate the Queen, but he lost the life of the king of a country, and the fate of Northern Frontier was doomed."

"Yes."

"Keep a close eye on them these two days. Anyone who dares to make any unusual moves can be killed directly."

"I understand." The black-clothed shadow guard lowered his eyebrows and hesitated, "There is one more thing..."

"Tell me."

"The Queen's foster father... is the regent who abdicated Dongling, and has arrived in Xiqi."

Fu Cang was refreshed: "When did it happen?"

"He had deliberately concealed his identity before, and I only got the news today."

Fu Cang was silent.

Master has arrived in the imperial city, but has not shown up?

It seems that he is not worried about the problem of the master's love tribulation coming true.

Fu Cang heaved a sigh of relief, his voice becoming calmer: "I know, you go and do your work first."

"Yes."
