Ye Qingxuan didn't get much information from Su Rong, but it made Ye Qingxuan more determined that the so-called Empress of the West Palace might be the concubine Yu who had been missing for a long time.
The world is so big that it is possible to control a person mentally and make it invisible to peerless experts. Ye Qingxuan only remembers this Concubine Yu. With her charming strength and spiritual power, it is not easy to control Huangfu Taiming. what a difficult thing.
Coupled with the missing plastic surgery master Chu Heyan, the identity of this Empress of the West Palace is almost ready to be revealed.
This also proves from the side that Murong Zhuhai did collude with the Demon Sect. After the Yu brothers and sisters' plan to control the Great Wu court failed, they set their target on the Great Xia court, and judging from the results, the effect was extremely obvious.
This is also to blame for the carelessness of Jiang Shuihan and others, who put all their attention on the big forces such as Dawu, Beidi, and Donghu who are hostile to Daxia. People, completely ignored the aristocratic families and the forces of the old dynasty who have become defeated. They are waiting for the court to make mistakes all the time. As long as they find the right time, they will be killed by one blow.
Murong Zhuhai has been dormant all this time, secretly contacting the forces of the old dynasty and aristocratic families. These aristocratic families who were defeated in the struggle for power at the beginning, all of them have deep backgrounds and have left behind. Sure enough, after Murong Zhuhai controlled the harem and the emperor, they couldn't wait to stand together with Murong Zhuhai.
Although the clues provided by Su Rong are of little significance, most of them are guesses based on his feelings. But one thing is for sure, that is, Su Rong was invited to attend a banquet held in the palace three days later.
According to what Su Rong said, the banquet this time mainly gathered most of the court officials and aristocratic families, as well as important figures from all walks of life in Luodu, including contacts of many sects. It is rumored that an important matter was announced in public. According to his intelligence judgment, it should be to announce the abolition of the empress and welcome Empress Murong from the West Palace into the East Palace, establishing her as the master of the harem.
Jiang Shuihan and others brought Ji Wanting to Luodu. Officials from all over the country did not dare to participate in the emperor's family affairs. Officials from all over the country recognized the Ji family, and even respected Ye Qingxuan's lineage, so he wanted to be the first to help Empress Murong to the throne, and abolish Ji Wanting, the empress of the Eastern Palace.
Ye Qingxuan knew that not only the Empress Murong was going to attend the banquet this time, but even Huangfu Taiming would also be present, so how could he miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
After waiting quietly for three consecutive days, Su Rong finally received the official order to enter the palace to attend the banquet.
After changing his appearance, Ye Qingxuan boarded the carriage to welcome Su Rong into the palace as a personal entourage.
All the way to the palace gate smoothly, a general guarding the palace and a servant greeted him and said: "Please show the invitation card to this nobleman entering the palace."
Ye Qingxuan closed his eyes and did not move, since Su Rong handed over the invitation.
After a while, the servant who finished the check said respectfully: "Eunuch Cao ordered that Mr. Su Rong change the carriage, and I will send you to Xingqing Palace after this."
Eunuch Cao, he must be the Cao Chengen who was suddenly promoted and founded the editing factory.
Su Rong was slightly taken aback, and asked, "Didn't the invitation say that the banquet will be held in Yonghua Palace?"
The servant smiled, and said calmly: "Eunuch Cao and Your Majesty's orders, how dare we people today question them? If Mr. Su Rong has any questions, you can ask Eunuch Cao face to face."
Su Rong was extremely displeased with this little eunuch's arrogance, but he didn't want to conflict with the editors, so he reluctantly nodded, got out of the carriage, followed the general and the servant, and rushed to the front to change the carriage.
It was only a few tens of feet away from the palace gate, and along the way, many palace guards and palace ladies were escorted out by a large number of armed men, kneeling on the left and right sides of the palace gate, waiting to be escorted out.
Seeing Ye Qingxuan and Su Rong's gazes scanning these people back and forth, the servant sneered and said: "These are Jin Yiwei and the inner guards, heh heh, they were kicked out of the palace without Eunuch Cao's orders. Later, there will be torture, and anyone who slanders Eunuch Cao and Empress Xigong will be killed, but anyone who confesses to the queen will be rewarded for his merits."
Murong Zhuhai dared to eliminate dissidents in the palace and court so quickly
What madness!
Ye Qingxuan was filled with evil fire, almost wanted to rush into the palace right now, and beat that Murong Zhuhai to pieces.
Fortunately, I know that the lives of these Jinyiwei and inner guards are not in danger for the time being, so I will suppress my anger for the time being and see Huangfu Taiming first.
Su Rong was naturally qualified to enter the palace to attend the banquet, while followers like Ye Qingxuan were left outside the Yonghua Palace and had special staff to wait on them.
In a watchtower outside Yonghua Palace, there are internal servants who warmly greet and prepare banquets. The luxury level is not inferior to that of the chairman, especially the steaming roasted deer is the most attractive.
When Ye Qingxuan entered the watchtower, there were already more than 20 attendants drinking and eating meat, some acquaintances were chatting with each other, it was very lively.
It's just that as soon as Ye Qingxuan entered the watchtower, he already noticed that there was something unusual here. Although there was nothing suspicious about the generals who waited, the servants sent by the editing factory all had unique skills, and they also felt that they should A large number of garrisons outside are strictly controlling this place at all times, obviously keeping these followers under strict guard.
It seems that tonight's night banquet is not only forcing these invited dignitaries to stand aside, it is more likely to eradicate dissidents, and eliminate all those who clearly do not support Empress Xigong Murong and those who want to stay out of the matter.
Hongmen Banquet.
Ye Qingxuan sneered, and when he was going to the bathroom, he quickly left the watchtower, and entered the palace with unparalleled speed.
Galloping along the main road of the imperial city to the interior, Ye Qingxuan saw countless new arrivals changing guards with the imperial guards along the way, while the original imperial guards were directly escorted to the nearby garrison barracks surrounded by the new army. The gate of the camp was closed tightly, and the new army stood all around with guns and bows, completely imprisoning all the former imperial troops.
Ye Qingxuan sneaked all the way to the Golden Light Gate, when a sound of hooves broke the tranquility of the night, and the sound of drums came from a distance, reminding him that it was already late at night.
Ye Qingxuan hid under the long bridge across the canal, just outside the Golden Light Gate. At this time, the suspension bridge of the Golden Light Gate had already been lowered. In addition to the hundreds of Xia soldiers guarding the gate, there was still a cavalry team of nearly a hundred people coming from the gate. gallop out.
The leader is dressed as an eunuch in the inner court, and he is also the highest-ranking eunuch with palm prints. His young face is extremely handsome, his eyes are as bright as stars, and Gu Panjian is arrogant. Qingxuan just glanced at him, and with his superhuman senses, he immediately recognized that he was Yu Shengtan, the special envoy of the Demon Sect who was defeated by him at the beginning.
