"Big Brother, how are you?!"
Yu Pei looked at the woman who hurried over, then shook his head at Yu Huai. "You, the Imperial Master, actually used such despicable means to trick the imperial concubine into coming here. Are there any more despicable things waiting for me next?"
"Master Yu went to great lengths to slander me in front of the Emperor and even planted his own people in the astrology department. Are these all the actions of a gentleman?"
"Junior sister, go back." Yu Pei waved his hand at Xin Xuanshi, "I have something to discuss with the Imperial Master, please stay out of it."
Early in the morning, she was woken up by her personal maid, who said that someone had come to deliver an urgent message, asking her to go to Qingming Pavilion.
The man looked unfamiliar, but judging by his attire, he must be a servant from one of the palaces. Since this involved her eldest brother, she certainly couldn't just sit back and watch.
She had heard that he had "been possessed by a demon, had suddenly fallen ill, and was now in critical condition." When she rushed over, she found Yu Pei standing in the courtyard and felt deceived.
"Now, you won't listen to my orders either?"
Sensing that the atmosphere between the two was not right, Xin Xuanshi did not choose to withdraw. Instead, she quickly walked over to Yu Pei and asked, "Big Brother, what happened? Is there anything wrong with your training?"
"The Imperial Master just wanted to trick you into coming here, and you still believed him?" He sighed helplessly, squatted down and started cleaning the dishes, "Be obedient and get out quickly."
"Sir, he has always been here, behaving himself. He never leaves without being summoned." Concubine Xin turned around and pleaded with Yu Huai, "Did you misunderstand my eldest brother? He has just arrived at the palace and doesn't know the rules. Please don't punish him too harshly!"
She had heard that the emperor's most trusted imperial tutor was adept at developing strange and bizarre objects. Whether it was a poison that killed people invisibly or a variety of bizarre decorations, he could always live up to the emperor's wishes.
Not only that, he also has clairvoyance and knows good and bad fortune. He is a living Buddha who has come to the world!
If he opened his mouth and wanted to use the eldest brother as a target, she would not be able to find a way to save him for a while. The only thing she could do now was to beg for mercy.
"With such a good junior sister by your side, why would you be so desperate to enter the palace?" Yu Huai did not respond to her, but teased himself, "I see that this young lady cares about Taoist Yu quite a bit. I am grateful to be able to help you two."
call out!
It seemed like a silver needle had pierced into the neck!
But there was no subsequent pain, just like being stung by a wild bee. After a short period of numbness, she gradually became out of control!
"What’s wrong with you?"
"Big Brother, don't, don't come over here!" Xin Xuanshi realized that she had been tricked and wanted to retreat. But she still fell limply into his arms, "I was wrong. I have implicated you, Brother. Let's go!"
It's too late to leave now.
Whether he hugged the palace concubine in public or the palace concubine appeared in Qingming Pavilion, he could not escape the crime specially arranged by Yu Huai.
"If you're angry with me, just vent it on me. Miss Xin is just a woman, why bother with her?"
Yu Pei's expression remained calm as he carried her to a rattan recliner nearby without any hesitation.
Seeing this, Yu Huai couldn't help but sigh, "Master Yu really does have some real skills. He clearly knew that I had been spreading poison powder since I entered the room, yet he was still able to resist until now."
"The Emperor values you so much just because you know this kind of aphrodisiac trick?"
"Heh... your death is imminent, yet you have such a condescending tone. What's with that?" Yu Huai suddenly shouted, "Master Yu defiled the imperial concubine and had an affair with her. Drag him out and strangle him immediately!"
The followers who had been prepared rushed in immediately and surrounded Yu Pei in the center. Each of them held a long knife in his hand, as if they were afraid that he would resist.
"Don't worry, I'm not a tactless person. There's no need to make such a fuss. I can just walk out on my own."
"stop!"
Wei Shuyi also arrived in time with Sang Yuxuan's people!
After hearing the maid from Jiaofeng Palace requesting an audience, she knew that Consort Xin was in great danger. Thinking of the way Liang Cairen stared at the ceiling before his death, her eyes wide open, she became more and more convinced that Yu Huai's hand was reaching out to those around her.
After rushing so hard, I finally arrived in time!
"Lady Yi? Why, do you also have something to do with this lunatic?"
"I'm here to look for the Imperial Master."
Yu Huai straightened his robes and walked out casually: "It's a pity that I have to deal with him first, so that I can have some time to talk with the noble lady Yi."
"You don't want to hear what the adults say about themselves?"
"Oh?" He stopped, thought again and again, and finally walked to the corner. "What does Lady Yi want to say?"
"The Tianshu Soul-Gathering Poison, was it your Excellency's work?"
“No.”
"That's not a coincidence. I witnessed my sister's death a while ago, and she told me many secrets. Several of them were related to the Grand Master. Are you really unaware of them?"
Yu Huai continued to pretend to be nonchalant: "Of course. Perhaps that person was hallucinating and just talking nonsense, and Lady Yi took it seriously?"
"Then could I ask the Imperial Master to stage a similar spectacle? Just pretend he was just passing by, dazzled, and making random remarks, but those servants under him took it seriously."
"Why should I help you?"
"Your Excellency is wrong." Wei Shuyi looked at him with a smile, but his eyes were filled with a frozen pond. "I am asking you to help me. Otherwise, whether it is this matter at hand or the matter with my sister, I will not let it go! The pros and cons of this matter should be clearly considered by the Imperial Master."
Yu Huai's expression changed several times, but he finally chose to admit defeat.
He raised his voice and ordered, "Noble Lady Yi has explained everything to me clearly. Today's events are not allowed to be spread outside. Everyone, go back!"
"yes."
Only Yu Pei remained where he was, shrugging calmly. "I didn't tell you the content of today's last hexagram in advance. That is, your wish will definitely be unfulfilled. I still have a long life ahead of me, and today is not the day I die."
"Walk!"
Yu Huai was angry, and a frosty look formed on his face.
Wei Shuyi watched the group leave before walking into Qingming Pavilion: "Master Yu, how is Sister Xin?"
"It's just a despicable trick." He crushed a few blades of grass and pressed them against Concubine Xin's neck. "Don't worry, Concubine Yi. Let her sleep for half a day and she'll be back to normal."
"Then I will stay here to guard her, to prevent anyone from gossiping again."
Yu Pei unscrewed the cork from his wine gourd and guzzled a few mouthfuls. "A castrated man can actually spread filthy gossip! This Yonghua Palace is truly ridiculous!"
Wei Shuyi silently observed him drinking, and in every move, it seemed as if he saw the old friend with a blurry face deep in his memory.
"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me?"
"No, I just felt that Taoist Yu was more approachable, as if I had met him before."
He snorted lightly, continued to drink with his head tilted back, and did not respond.
