When Concubine Xin rushed back to Lin'an Palace, the gate of Sangyuxuan was closed, and the palace servants who were usually not of high rank were sent to the courtyard to clean the place.
As for Jing'an and the others, they served in the inner room.
"Sister Yi!"
When she rushed in, the first thing she saw was Wen Yu with blood at the corner of his mouth.
"What happened? Why is Aunt Wenyu injured?!"
"Hush! My lady, keep your voice down. Don't let anyone hear you!" Jing An made a gesture. "The palace servants along the way must have seen you and your aunt looking like this when they came out of Yiqing Terrace!"
"This is outrageous! How dare they lay hands on Sister Yi?" Concubine Xin was confused and wanted to tell the emperor immediately. "Everyone saw it, so they're witnesses. Why keep it secret and not file a complaint with the Emperor?"
Wei Shuyi was wringing a handkerchief and carefully wiping Wen Yu's wound.
For fear of disturbing Princess Zhaohua's rest, everyone crowded into a corner and cleared out a quilt for Wen Yu to lie down and heal his wounds.
"This is the young master's order. I don't know the answer."
"Sister Yi, Senior Brother asked me to bring some medicine. I wonder if it can be used?" Concubine Xin suppressed her anger for the moment and took out the porcelain bottle and handed it over. "Just now, I was in Qingming Pavilion asking Senior Brother how to draw talismans, and he suddenly rushed out and handed it to me."
Yu Pei?
Compared to Yu Huai, who wanted to kill people to silence them when they disagreed with him, in Wei Shuyi's heart, this person was more like a mortal with divinity.
He is a true master who understands the overall situation of the world silently.
"Let me try."
Wei Shuyi poured out a small pill, fed it to Wen Yu, and waited for the effect.
The woman, who had previously suffered from unbearable back pain, was soon able to turn around on her own without needing help. Seeing this, her gratitude and awe for Yu Pei deepened.
"Sister, it's not that I don't want to avenge Wen Yu immediately, but now is not a good time." She held the porcelain bottle and explained gently, "Firstly, the Imperial Preceptor has some past affairs that implicate many people in the palace, and I want to continue investigating. If he dies, the clues will be cut off. Secondly, the Emperor relies heavily on this Imperial Preceptor, and their long-standing friendship won't be easily changed by the appearance of Taoist Yu. Therefore, even if we go to report him with wounds all over our bodies, it won't affect the Imperial Preceptor's status."
"Then what should we do? Are we going to let him bully us? Aunt Wenyu is someone close to you, Sister Yi, and she was beaten like this!"
Wei Shuyi held her hand and tried to comfort her: "I will naturally settle this account with him! There is something I need your help with."
"Sister Yi, please speak."
"It's the Shangsi Festival again. I want my sister to go to the Empress Dowager and speak a few more words to her, asking her to agree to let the Emperor hold the personal farming ceremony. Also, this time, all the concubines in the harem should go to the capital together, including the Imperial Preceptor."
Concubine Xin and Jing'an exchanged a glance: "Sister Yi, I can indeed speak mysterious words to the Empress Dowager. But..."
"Leave the rest to me." Wei Shuyi could still feel the pain in his neck as he spoke. "I will go to the Changsheng Palace again tonight to convince the emperor."
"Sister Yi, did the Imperial Preceptor attack you?!" Concubine Xin finally saw the marks on her neck and was furious. "Did he want to take this opportunity to kill Sister Yi? He used so much force, it's obvious he wasn't kidding!"
Silly girl, they are not in the romantic stage, so why would there be any games to play?
Moreover, she clearly sensed Yu Huai's murderous intent. If she hadn't encountered something strange, he wouldn't have let her go.
But why is that?
The man who had the strength to knock Wen Yu away and control her in the previous second lost his internal strength in the next second and struggled in pain.
Are you possessed by evil spirits?
"Miss, are you wondering why the Imperial Preceptor suddenly let us go?" Wen Yu saw through her thoughts. "At that time, I was still conscious and clearly saw him being attacked."
"Backlash?!"
"I haven't been near him, nor have I taken his pulse. The only thing I can guess is the strangeness he showed instantly. It matches the backlash symptoms described in the books I read about the evil sorcery."
Jing Ning shrank his head in fear: "No way? The Imperial Preceptor is, after all, entrusted with an important task by the Emperor... If all he practices are evil arts, wouldn't that be harmful to the foundation of the country..."
Things seem to be getting more and more interesting.
First, there was the relationship between Yu Huai and Qu Wenhe's family, then the inexplicable feelings between Yu Huai and Concubine Jin, and now it's been traced back to Yu Huai himself, and he's actually connected to witchcraft?!
Wei Shuyi looked at the injured Wen Yu and made a decision in his heart.
——Outside the Hall of Eternal Life.
Yu Huai was kneeling and apologizing, and he refused to stand up no matter who came to help him.
Xie Yanci was still sleeping soundly, and Eunuch Yang did not dare to disturb him rashly, so the situation remained deadlocked.
A stick of incense passed.
Perhaps sensing the movements around him and the extremely soft voices, the emperor pulled himself out of his dream, opened his eyes and looked at the screen.
"Yang Mingrui."
"Yes! Your Majesty, I will help you get up!"
"What happened outside?"
Eunuch Yang stopped and glanced at the main entrance in embarrassment. "Your Majesty, I don't know either. I just saw that after the Imperial Preceptor arrived, he knelt there and refused to get up. I tried to persuade him and pull him, but he just didn't say a word..."
"National Master?" Xie Yanci couldn't help but frown, "Call him in."
Yu Huai continued to walk into the inner hall in silence. When no one was around, he knelt down again and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, I am guilty. Please punish me according to the law."
"What crime have you committed?"
"Today, Noble Lady Yi barged into Yiqingtai. I think she was eager to protect her daughter and came to me because of the princess's matter. However, I was truly in seclusion, so I had no choice but to decline Shoukang Palace that day..."
Having said that, Yu Huai couldn't help coughing. When he stood up again, there were already spots of blood on the brocade handkerchief!
Seeing this, Xie Yanci quickly helped him up and asked, "Who hurt you so badly?"
"Noble Lady Yi."
"How is that possible?! I've fought you several times and know you have profound internal strength. Lady Yi is a weak woman, how could you lose to her?"
Yu Huai's expression was solemn, and he didn't lie. "She disrupted my training schedule, forcing me to interrupt and leave to stop the quarrel. Because of my confusion, I lost my mind and accidentally injured Noble Lady Yi and her servant, and I also suffered more serious internal injuries. Therefore, please punish me, Your Majesty!"
"How is Noble Yi doing?!"
"The young lady is fine, but her personal maid was slapped by me, and she will need some time to recover."
Xie Yanci breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Wei Shuyi was not injured.
How could he not understand her thoughts?
However, trespassing into Yiqingtai without permission is really not like her style.
I have to find a chance to ask her. Of course, the Imperial Master cannot punish her.
