Wei Yunjue has been back in the palace for seven or eight days. During this period, he has not reviewed any memorials, but he has not had an easy time.

Seven days ago, after He Yin left, he yawned continuously while reading memorials. Finally, he could not resist the sleepiness and fell asleep on the table.

He didn't know how long he slept before he was awakened by the young eunuch who had been watching him. With a confused look on his face, the eunuchs dressed him up as the little servant who used to be by He Yin's side. After he woke up a little, he was taken to the bedroom where He Yin lived.

He talked with the energetic Mr. He until dawn, and Mr. He revealed to him mostly about some recent changes in the court.

Wei Yunjue was exhausted and sleepy, his leg still injured. He complained bitterly in his heart, but he had to listen patiently. When he was about to give up, the Regent, who was obviously in a good mood, said, "Before Nanxia's envoy to Dajin, you must be careful about your words and actions. After I leave, the position of Regent will be temporarily in your hands."

These words startled Wei Yunjue so much that he lost all sleepiness and almost jumped out of his seat.

If this were discovered by others, who knows what kind of uproar it would cause.

besides……

"We clearly agreed on three years. How could you, sir, go back on your word?"

He Yin's eyes darkened instantly. "If I really want to leave, can you stop me? Not to mention you, who in the entire country of Nanxia can stop me?"

Wei Yunjue's excitement receded like a tide in an instant. He suddenly realized one thing - when the gap in strength between the two sides is too big, the stronger party can be free from any constraints, especially since his only bargaining chip has been taken away by the other party.

He slumped down in his chair, his mind a jumble of thoughts, "What about Wei An? What are you going to do with him?"

"Whether he is good or bad depends entirely on your decision."

Wei Yunjue gritted his teeth and said, "I understand. I... agree."

"In that case," Fu Yin's expression brightened, "The Regent is still short of a young servant. After I leave, he will continue to follow you."

Wei Yunjue suddenly looked up, and was caught off guard by the surprise. He grinned immediately, and only after the joy did he have the energy to think about the possibility of using someone else as a substitute.

"How can this... be concealed from the world?"

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that their figures and voices are not similar at all, how could they possibly deceive those ministers who are full of tricks?

Fu Yin's expression was indifferent. "That depends on your ability. This time, I will go to Da Jin as a subordinate of the Regent. During this time, you will be in charge of the political affairs of Nanxia."

He stood up from his seat and looked down at Wei Yunjue, "Don't worry, I will do what I promised you. Now that you've returned to the palace, you should at least help me. Do you really expect me, a non-Southern Xia person, to work day and night for the Southern Xia Kingdom for three years?"

Wei Yunjue opened his lips, but then felt he had nothing to say, so he closed them.

This was supposed to be his burden, and he really had no right to complain.

Outside, the sky was just beginning to brighten. Fu Yin had been busy all night, and fatigue inevitably stained his brow. He slowly walked towards the door and said in a weary tone, "During this period, if there is any unrest in the court, I will kill you without mercy."

After saying this, his slender figure slowly disappeared around the corner.

The lazy voice spoke murderous words, and listening to them made people feel as if there was a cold, slippery poisonous snake quietly spitting out its tongue at the back of their neck.

Wei Yunjue's expression was blank for a moment. After coming to his senses, he suddenly realized something and looked thoughtful.

Ever since he faked his death, Mr. He never attended the morning court despite being the regent. Although he was in the harem, he knew everything that happened in the previous court.

Now the court is divided into two factions. His uncle was restless when he was in power, and now that his son has become the emperor, he is secretly forming a clique for personal gain, becoming a faction naturally opposed to He Yin.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, so the Wu family naturally stood on the side of the little emperor.

Wei Yunjue secretly wondered, Mr. He wanted to use the diplomatic mission to Da Jin as an excuse to trick the emperor's uncle and his party into thinking they could take advantage of the situation?

Then wouldn't it be better if he pretended to be as unlikeable as possible?

As it turned out, he was wrong.

During the seven days, he was almost inseparable from Mr. He, following him like a shadow, observing and imitating him.

The scary thing was that this former gentleman seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. He noticed that he was distracted and just gave him an indifferent look. Then he began to examine some urgent issues presented by his courtiers.

After all, he had been an emperor for so many years. Wouldn't it be a disgrace to say nothing? He had to rack his brains every time, and even this made his master never satisfied.

It must be said that Mr. He Yin did his job very well, but he, as a student, could only swallow his bitterness and suffer in silence.

Wei Yunjue was suffering in dire straits. After seven days, one morning, the eunuch beside Mr. He came to his door and told him that he didn't need to follow him today. This gave him a brief moment of relaxation from the tension in his head.

Fu Yin was currently in the space waiting for Chen Huaixu to tell him whether there were any changes in the Cui Yi vine.

Entering the space without using his mental power to detect the outside world meant that he could only wait passively. Moreover, he could not perceive the passage of time in the outside world while in the space.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Fu Yin heard that familiar voice.

"The Green Vine... has sprouted a new bud, a very small one."

Fu Yin lowered the finger that was pressed against his long eyebrows, a hint of joy flashing across his face, "In that case, can I go over and take a look?"

There was no word from the other side, only a rustling sound. After a moment, he heard Shen Huaixu hesitate and say, "I dug up the dirt and took a look. The iron box seems to be corroded."

Fu Yin's eyebrows jumped, and without thinking, he flashed out of the space.
