Ah Jiu had said that something had happened in the Imperial City. What was it?

In order to understand the situation, Xue Fanxin got someone to call Heilong, Hai Feng, and Zimo over, planning to find out from them.

Heilong and the others originally did not know that Xue Fanxin had returned. They only found out when someone came to report, so they rushed over.

They had thought that their master would return with the consort, but unexpectedly, she was the only one.

“Your Highness, where is Master? The situation in the Imperial City is a little complicated. He might need to deal with it.”

“Ah Jiu has something else to do. He said that he would leave everything in the Imperial City to me. Tell me first what happened in the Imperial City.”

Heilong and the others had absolute belief in Xue Fanxin, so they told her everything that had happened in the Imperial City.

The Empress and the Second Prince had rebelled and taken control of the entire palace. They had also taken the emperor hostage and forced him to write an edict for his abdication.

The internal strife of the royal family originally had nothing to do with them. Anyway, it made no difference to them who became the emperor.

However, in order to control the emperor, the entire Imperial Court, and the Imperial City, the Empress and the Second Prince had actually ruthlessly released the plague poison to the outside world.

That plague poison would not instantly take people’s lives, but it would make them suffer unspeakably. Many officials of the Imperial Court could not bear the pain and chose to submit. Some of the more unyielding officials of the Imperial Court had no choice but to submit for their families.

As for the commoners in the Imperial City, in order to survive, they used all kinds of methods to express their loyalty to the Empress and the Second Prince in exchange for the antidote.

Initially, only the Yi and Xue families were willing to help the Empress and the Second Prince seize power. But later, because of the plague poison, the Bai and Lian families finally compromised.

With the help of the four great clans and the control of the entire Imperial Court, the Empress and the Second Prince now had enough ability to overthrow the emperor. To be precise, they were now the true rulers of the Ye Empire. Even if the emperor’s edict to abdicate had not been issued, they could still do whatever they wanted.

What was even more serious was that many people in the Lord’s Estate and the Purple Cloud Tower had also been poisoned. If they were unwilling to compromise, they could only give up on those infected.

The plague poison was still spreading in the Imperial City. Those who were not poisoned could be poisoned at any moment, and the situation would become more and more serious.

“What plague poison is so powerful? Can’t any of you detoxify it?” Xue Fanxin was the same as Heilong, Hai Feng, Zimo, and the others. She was not too interested in the royal family and did not care about their lives, but she cared about the people from the Lord’s Estate and the Purple Cloud Tower, as well as the innocent commoners.

For their own selfish reasons, the Empress and the Second Prince actually did not care about the lives of the commoners. If such people really became the supreme rulers of the Ye Empire, millions of commoners would suffer.

This was only secondary. If the Empress and the Second Prince controlled real power, they would definitely start dealing with her and Ah Jiu.

It seemed like she had to deal with this matter properly.

“Your Highness, that plague poison is very powerful. Many doctors and physicians were infected when they studied this poison. Even Earth-rank alchemists were not spared. Now, no doctor or alchemist in the Imperial City dares to touch the poisoned people, let alone study that poison, so no one knows how to detoxify the poison at all.”

If not for their high cultivation levels and ability to resist the poison, they would have been poisoned long ago.

However, the poison was very powerful. If they came into contact with it too much, no matter how high their cultivation levels were, they would not be able to resist it.
