In one of the cells of the Imperial Prison.
On a straw-covered prison bed, Duan Shi was humming a tune, feeling quite at ease.
Even though there was such a commotion last night, he had heard about it even being in the Imperial Prison.
Coupled with the stately and ancient music he heard in the early morning, as the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, he immediately understood something.
Someone must have launched a coup last night and succeeded, otherwise why would the music of Dan Mu Yue, which plays when a new emperor ascends, be heard?
And the only ones capable of launching a coup in the Capital were Xiao Yunqi and Gao Qiu.
Gao Qiu was promoted single-handedly by Your Majesty and had no backing from a prestigious family, so he wouldn't dare launch a coup.
Therefore, only Xiao Yunqi could have done it.
Imperial Father-in-law.
Grand Commandant.
Patriarch of one of the four prominent noble families, the Xiao Family.
Commander of the Infantry Division.
