The night was getting darker, and the house of the old man of the Zhang family turned on the lights.

Seeing Mr. Zhang walking out wearing only his obscene clothes, the maid on night duty hurriedly got up.

"Old Master?" she asked in surprise.

Mr. Zhang looked outside.

"Is it going to be daylight?" he asked.

"It's still early." The maid replied.

Mrs. Zhang hummed.

"It sounds very lively outside, with the sound of horse hooves running around," he said.

The maid was a little surprised.

Is there any?

Zhang's house is located in a busy city, but the night market is closed at this time, will it still be noisy?

The maid looked at Mr. Zhang standing in front of the window, silently looking at the night outside the house.

"Old Master, please go and let people keep an eye on you, and keep the carriages and horses in front of the door away." the maid said.

Although this is a bit overbearing, considering Zhang Chun's identity, it is not bad.

Old Mrs. Zhang shook his head.

"No, no need." He said, "It's okay, it's okay."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

The urgent calls of the imperial doctors came from the inner room.

The Queen Mother, who was leaning against the drowsy palace maid, suddenly stood up, but someone was faster than her, and Chen Shao entered the inner room first.

"What's wrong?" Chen Shao asked anxiously.

The imperial doctor pointed to the prince on the couch.

"I'm about to die." A trembling voice said.

Chen Shao pushed him away and quickly stood beside the couch. Looking at the prince on the couch, whose breathing was gradually slowing down, the prince's mouth and nose began to bleed again.

Chen Shao felt heartbroken.

"Your Highness, Your Highness," he shouted.

The Queen Mother stood in the back and began to cry.

Gao Lingbo looked indifferent. The result was already known, so he had to accept it. There was no use in being sad. What needed to be considered was the next arrangement.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." A voice called from outside the door, "The Princess of Jin'an County has arrived."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room looked shocked.

The princess of Jin'an County has arrived?

"How is that possible!" the Queen Mother shouted.

How long has it been? It takes half a day to walk from here to Qingyuanyi without stopping, and the fastest round trip takes a day. It has only been half an hour and there is no one here?

Did a god really fly here?

No, even the messengers sent by the gods are not so fast.

"Where did you meet Mrs. Cheng?" the Queen Mother asked anxiously.

"Just outside the city gate." A chamberlain replied.

Outside the city gate!

The people in the room were startled again, and their expressions suddenly changed.

"Okay." Gao Lingbo sneered, "It seems that the princess of Jin'an County has been prepared for a long time."

If not, this would be too coincidental.

But how did she prepare? It was tonight that something happened to His Royal Highness. People in the capital might have more or less guessed it as the palace gates opened and closed, but all the news certainly did not leak outside the capital.

How could she suddenly come when she was far away in Qingyuanyi?

"Lord Yama!" the Queen Mother suddenly shouted, with a panicked expression, "She knows Lord Yama, that's why she knows!"

Chen Shao and Gao Lingbo looked stunned.

"Don't let her in, let her go quickly." The Queen Mother lost control and shouted while waving her hands, "She is here to take our lives! She is here to take our lives!"

"Empress, this is the imperial palace." Gao Lingbo said, raising his voice, "This is where the True Dragon Emperor is. Even if the King of Hell comes, he will still be three points shorter."

After saying that, he looked out the door.

"If she comes today, she won't be able to leave."

Chen Shao's expression changed.

"It's important to save His Highness the Crown Prince first." He said, raising his hand to the chamberlain, "Please quickly."

Cheng Jiaoniang stood on the corridor outside the Queen Mother's palace. The people around her stood in silence, with swords, guns and axes in their hands, and there was no sound.

But there are many prying eyes peeking around.

Hearing an invitation from inside, Cheng Jiaoniang stepped in.

A black shadow in the distance ran away as if it were flying.

Cheng Jiaoniang walked into the palace and saw Chen Shao for the first time. Chen Shao also looked at her. The two looked at each other and Cheng Jiaoniang lowered her eyes and saluted.

"Princess, please come this way."

Gao Lingbo said from the side.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess must have already known that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has suffered a sudden illness."

Cheng Jiaoniang ignored him and went straight in.

The doctors in the inner room stepped aside and revealed the prince on the couch in front of her.

Cheng Jiaoniang only glanced at it and stopped.

"Get hot water and heat the pot with golden needles..." She listed out many utensils in one breath.

The doctors looked at each other, did they really want to save him? But His Highness the Crown Prince had just...

Chen Shao looked overjoyed.

"Quick, quick, do as Her Royal Highness the Princess says." He said urgently.

A trace of hesitation flashed across Gao Lingbo's face.

Can it really be cured?

Of course he hopes to be cured, but can this woman be trusted?

He raised his head and looked at Cheng Jiaoniang.

What is untrustworthy? He was mistaken. The key is not this. The key is that no matter whether she is cured well or not, she will die. Since she is a dying person, what else can be believable or not.

"Go get it quickly." Gao Lingbo raised his hand and said.

The prince's palace suddenly became busy.

………………………………………….

"Ms. Cheng has entered the palace?"

The queen stood up in surprise when she heard the news.

"How could it be so fast?"

"I don't know. I only saw Mrs. Cheng from a distance and didn't dare to get close. The security in the Empress Dowager's Palace is too tight," the servant said.

"Madam, if Madam Cheng is here, is Prince Jin'an also here?" Concubine An said, with a bit of excitement.

The queen paced back and forth, frowning.

"Then since she is here, things will be easier to handle. No matter how Gao Lingbo and the Queen Mother defend themselves, there will be witnesses." She whispered to herself, "But the most critical step, how to do it?"

"Empress, what do you want to do?" Concubine An listened and asked hurriedly.

The queen looked at her.

"You can only say what you want to do when you have done it. How can you say it when you haven't done it?" she said.

An Fei stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.

The queen looked inside the house, and saw that the hourglass was walking steadily. The night was gradually fading, and day was about to break.

If daybreak comes and the courtiers go to court normally, there will be no room for change.

The room fell into silence.
