Under the high pressure for days, people were in panic, both in the court and in the capital, and even fewer people came out to walk.

Everyone is in danger, fearing that they will be involved in this unexpected storm, and even their family members will be killed without a burial place.

The situation in the capital was changing rapidly, and the people around him who were ready to take action were alert, especially those in the limelight from the eldest prince's family.

After they calmed down and thought about it carefully, they felt that despite the power of the eldest prince and the motivation behind them, the whole thing seemed to have gone too smoothly from the beginning.

There is always something hidden somewhere that is hard to detect.

From the beginning when the eldest prince promoted this matter behind his back, the prince has been losing ground.

In any case, it is impossible for the Crown Prince to be unprepared for this kind of thing after so many years since he became the Crown Prince. If he cannot control other princes, then he will never be able to take the crown prince position.

But some attentive people noticed that Ruan Wanwan was sent to Huguo Temple.

Almost everyone in the capital knew that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess had a very good relationship.

The Crown Prince has been busy for days and is unwilling to leave the study. How could he favor another concubine at this juncture and let that concubine show off her power in front of the Crown Princess?

What's more, it is rumored that the Crown Princess has always been extremely intelligent, has a deep heart, and is a good housekeeper.

How could she not understand that the prince, and the future emperor, needs to have equal access to rain and dew?

Without the Crown Prince's acquiescence and promotion behind the scenes, the Crown Princess would never have been able to directly rush into his study and question him.

This behavior then led to a quarrel between the two, and in the end the princess was sent to Huguo Temple.

The question now is, whether the Crown Princess was sent to the Huguo Temple was just a show by the two of them, and whether it has anything to do with the current situation in the capital?

Some people who have a more thorough and far-sighted view feel that the prince is really prepared this time, and now he is pretending to be unprepared and falling behind everywhere, just waiting for the opportunity.

How much does the Crown Princess know about these things behind the scenes now?

Interested people want to go to Huguo Temple to find out what Ruan Wanwan has to say and inquire about the situation.

People who rarely appear in Huguo Temple on weekdays have been going to Huguo Temple frequently recently.

Since Beiliangye had already anticipated this situation, he would never let it happen. The guards outside Huguo Temple came into use at this time.

Whenever someone wants to come to Huguo Temple by force, they will act like a black-faced killer, blocking the door and not letting anyone enter Huguo Temple. At the same time, they will not let anyone out.

After the eldest prince went to court, he sat in his study, dealing with affairs and thinking.

Although Beiliangye constantly fought against him in all aspects, he always left at the first touch, never staying too long and not even having any impact on his power.

Things were progressing too smoothly, and he was a little suspicious.

The feeling of luring the enemy deeper was lingering, so the eldest prince also went through the recent situation over and over in his mind, trying to find anything unusual.

"Report——" A subordinate's loud voice came from outside, interrupting the eldest prince's thoughts.

"Enter."

A man in black came in from outside, bowed first, and then began to report.

"Some people say that Beiliangye has already prepared for the counterattack on this matter, and wants to ruin your important affairs, Your Majesty."

"The reason why the Crown Princess was sent to Huguo Temple is related to the situation in Beijing. Her safety may affect the final outcome."

After the subordinates finished reporting, they kept saluting in place, waiting for the eldest prince's next order.

The eldest princes slammed the table, and the tea cup jumped up from the wooden table, tipped over, and spilled tea all over the table. Then it fell to the floor, shattering into pieces, and porcelain shards scattered everywhere.

He was furious: "Who is it that spreads the rumor that the incompetent prince can ruin this king's important affairs? Please find out the source of this rumor and clean it up!"

"This is really unreasonable! The only one who can ascend to the position of prince is me!"

When the subordinate saw that the eldest prince was angry, he hurriedly responded and was about to leave, fearing that the eldest prince's anger would affect him.

However, the eldest prince stopped him again, and saw that he calmed down a little and went over what his subordinate had said before.

Suddenly he realized that the situation in the capital might be related to Ruan Wanwan and the importance of these words.

Is it related to the Crown Princess?

Although I don't know where to start from, but now for the sake of the overall situation in the future, the eldest prince is unwilling to increase the possibility of Beiliangye making a comeback and affecting the situation.

"Don't rush to investigate the origin of that rumor. Let's first explore the truth about the crown princess in the Huguo Temple." The eldest prince ordered coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Forget it, just in case, just kill the woman."

The eldest prince waved his hands casually, as if other people's lives were just something that could be played with at will in his eyes.

"Yes." The subordinate quickly took the order and planned to sneak into Huguo Temple to assassinate Ruan Wanwan late tonight. He still needs to make some complete preparations now.

Ruan Wanwan did not realize that the danger was approaching.

But she knew that these days, more and more people were taking the opportunity to come to Huguo Temple. For some reason, she always felt that these people were coming for her, so she felt a little uneasy.

Ruan Wanwan only felt that her heartbeat was extremely strong today, so she planned to go to the abbot of Huguo Temple in the evening, hoping to listen to his explanation of Buddhist scriptures to calm her mind.

As the sun went down, Ruan Wanwan had his dinner and got up from his room. He estimated the time and found that the abbot of Huguo Temple was probably in the main hall.

So she went to visit with her personal maid, and before leaving, she did not forget to ask the maid to extinguish the candles in the room.

What she didn't know was that just a short while after she left, someone was eyeing this room.

The moon is hidden behind the dark clouds, and when people walk on the road, even their shadows are blended into the dark night.

The man was as light as a swallow. He only ducked on the spot and rushed up to the big tree behind the house. The branches only swayed slightly and did not cause any noise.

He looked carefully into Ruan Wanwan's house for a while. The house was dark and quiet, with no sound of anyone moving at all.

He climbed down from the tree a few times, reached the window, and soon entered Ruan Wanwan's room in the dark.

The quilt on the bed was bulging, and he guessed that the princess had already fallen asleep. There was no maid outside the room, which saved him a lot of trouble.

But after all, he was afraid of waking up Ruan Wanwan, so he slowed down, like a cat, came to the bedside, raised the dagger in his hand, and stabbed the bulging quilt hard.

Worried that this was not enough, he pricked the quilt a few times, and all the cotton wool flew out.
