Jiang Jinyue looked at the Empress with pleading eyes, and shook her head, but the Empress pretended not to see it, and asked someone to take a brush and paper to force Jiang Jinyue to write.

Jiang Jinyue couldn't struggle, and she didn't know what to write at all. The ink blurred the paper, and she didn't write a single word for a long time. The Empress charged her with being uncooperative.

The Empress asked her, "Jiang Jinyue, do you know why I'm here today?"

Jiang Jinyue shook her head and looked at the Empress expectantly.

The Empress smiled, "All the ministers in the court went up together and asked Bengong to get rid of you, the witch who cursed the emperor, if you cooperate, I can spare your life today, otherwise, today is the day you will die."

Jiang Jinyue's eyes showed disbelief, she realized something, she got up and was about to run outside, but the Empress brought so many people, how could she give her a chance to run.

He directly asked the court ladies to forcefully pour a glass of poisoned wine that had been prepared into her mouth, and then asked someone to put white silk on the beam and hang Jiang Jinyue on it, without giving her any chance of survival.

The Empress looked at Jiang Jinyue who was kicking and struggling, she showed a satisfied expression, and led a group of people away in a mighty manner. All the palace people in Fangyue Palace were taken away, leaving only Jiang Jinyue who struggled in vain.

Just when Jiang Jinyue was about to take her last breath, the white silk broke suddenly. Jiang Jinyue fell heavily on the ground. She moved her fingers twice, and then fell silent.

The brazier in the hall was burning vigorously, making crackling noises. As it was burning, the brazier suddenly splashed sparks and flew towards the table covered with cloth.

The Empress went back to Changning Palace, only to learn that Fangyue Hall was on fire.

The Empress frowned, thinking that this was not a coincidence, and there seemed to be something wrong.

But before the Empress could figure it out, Qiuxi came to report, "The empress, Mr. Cao is here."

"Brother, what is he here for?"

The empress stood up, "Please come in, brother."

Mr. Cao hurriedly saluted after entering the door, and then asked the empress to let everyone back away.

The empress asked everyone around her to back down, and then asked, "Brother, do you have something important to say to me?"

" The empress, something is going to happen," Mr. Cao lowered his voice, "My people found out that the second prince intends to rebel!"

The empress smiled, "Brother, it's not a secret, the second child's troops are all in Dengzhou, this matter is just a matter of fact. Even the emperor knows about it."

"What Dengzhou, his troops are just outside Shengjing city

The empress face's changed after hearing this, she said, "What's going on, didn't the emperor already ordered people to seal off the city and roads? How could his troops get outside Shengjing?"

"The people I ordered to investigate hasn't come back yet, but what is certain is that as long as the emperor..." Mr. Cao made a gesture, "The second prince will lead his troops into the palace immediately, and the empress should make preparations early."

The most disadvantageous thing for the empress and the crown prince was military power. The empress was anxious, "At this time, the only thing I can mobilize is the imperial guards. "

But how does the empress know that the imperial guards are not the second prince's people? The emperor is seriously ill, and sooner or later the imperial guards will change hands. If the second prince really succeeded in rebelling, these imperial guards will be his guards in the future, and no one know whether they will surrender in advance. "

In particular, the relationship between the commander of the imperial guards and The crown prince was not harmonious. The crown prince was the one who threatened with the commander of the imperial guards once.

"Then..." The empress turned around anxiously, "What about the army in the camp outside the city, I remember that there are tens of thousands of people in the camp outside the city, so I will issue an order to dispatch the troops."

Mr. Cao sighed, "Only the Tiger Talisman can mobilize the soldiers and horses in the camp outside the city, even if you are the empress, you can't do it. Moreover, even if there are troops, there must be someone to direct the layout, otherwise it will be a mess.

The empress heard something in his words, she said: "Brother, why don't you just say it directly?, why do we have to play such riddles between brother and sister?"

I'm afraid you don't want to hear what I'm going to say, empress, if the second prince really wants to rebel, you have to beg someone."

A general, there were too few people who could make her use the word begging, the empress had a cold face, "Brother want me to talk to Wei Yunzhao, he is also worthy of asking me to beg him!"

"Empress, as long as His Highness the crown prince is not enthroned, he must have the support of military generals who hold military power, so his chance of winning will be greater.Even if he is enthroned, as long as there are still battles in the border, he can't do without generals."

"Your Majesty shouldn't have acted so decisively at the beginning, directly cut off her own escape route."

The Empress was very dissatisfied with these words, "Decisively? Is it Bengong's decisiveness or his Wei family's ignorance, if Wei Su's tough bone was willing to listen to Bengong's orders, the Wei family will never end up like this.As for Wei Yunzhao, elder brother thinks too highly of him, a cripple, what can he do, let someone push a wheelchair for him to command the group of soldiers? is anyone willing to listen to him?"

Mr. Cao wanted to speak, but the Empress preempted him, "Brother, I know about the fact that the second child intends to rebel, Bengong will let people redeploy the defense in the palace. You don't have to worry too much, how many troops the second child can have?, I will never let him succeed."

The Empress refused to listen to the persuasion, Mr. Cao was helpless and angry, "If that's the case, then don't regret it."
