After the selection is officially over, it will take a few days before the positions of the beauties will be determined.
Wei Shuyi finally breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Bai Shiwei had gone to participate in the palace selection as required and had not missed the time.
She knew that the sisters from her mother's clan that Shu Wanyi was looking for would never be so cowardly and incompetent. She hadn't yet entered the harem to fight. If she was plotted against in Chuxiu Palace, she wouldn't be qualified to be their ally.
"My lady, I have always felt that the Bai family must be good and will definitely not lose to those monsters!"
"Of course. I feel at ease when I have a sister recommended by Shu Wanyi to enter the palace and know her background well."
Just then, Wen Yu hurried in, saw Jing'an serving on the side, and quickly winked at Wei Shuyi.
If she guessed correctly, it should be Xie Yanqing, who she had not contacted for a long time, and now had a new task for her to do.
"There are still some flowers and plants outside that haven't been cleaned up yet, but you asked the maids to clean up carefully. I have something to say to Wen Yu."
"yes."
If it were Jing Ning, he would definitely be indignant and feel that his position was threatened, to the point that he didn't even have the chance to serve his master closely.
But Jing'an has always been cautious and sensible. He didn't have too many opinions on this. He nodded and left obediently.
Wei Shuyi raised his head and looked at Wen Yu: "Tell me, what does the prince want?"
"The prince just sent a letter by carrier pigeon. When I went to get it, I think someone saw me... and rushed in like that. Luckily, that person didn't see anything else besides the carrier pigeon. I'll be more careful from now on!"
Wei Shuyi nodded slightly, picked up the note, and sat up straight after seeing the content on it.
It turned out that Xie Yanqing's spies were really all over Yonghua Palace! Even the things she had been worrying about recently were discovered by them!
"Tonight, I'm going to go to the area near Penglai Palace."
"Miss, do you need a servant to accompany you?"
"We need to keep someone in the house. I might even have to ask you to disguise yourself as me and stay in Sangyuxuan. No matter what, don't let anyone in!"
Hearing the seriousness of the matter, Wen Yu nodded, but at the same time, she was worried: "Although the prince has always been cautious in doing things...if...if the emperor comes, I can't just drive him out!"
"The selection just ended today, and Concubine Jin must be unhappy. The Emperor will go to accompany his beloved no matter what, and will not come here."
"In that case, young lady, feel free to go ahead! I'll be waiting for you in Sangyuxuan!"
At the agreed time, Wei Shuyi was the first to enter through the secret passage.
Before they had gone far, they saw Xie Yanqing's figure: "Your Highness stayed in the palace alone and did not leave before the palace keys fell. Isn't he afraid that the emperor would find out?"
"Today, I specially sent my brother a set of chess manuals that he had been longing for. He was immediately intrigued and has been playing chess until now. Therefore, I have been granted permission to stay overnight in the palace. The palace staff are all aware of this, so there's no need to make a big deal about it."
"It seems that Your Highness has already prepared all the escape routes. I wonder why you chose this hour to have me come here?"
Xie Yanqing coughed lightly a few times. "Do you remember what you asked me to find out when you took the opportunity to attend the plowing ceremony? The relationship between the Imperial Master and Qu Wenhe..."
Hearing this, she immediately perked up: "Could it be that the prince has found out something?!"
"Well, I'll take you to Yiqingtai now. Perhaps it would be more convenient for you to see it yourself."
In Wei Shuyi's mind, Xie Yanqing was a man of immense power. He could uncover any secret passage, even the underground palace beneath Yiqing Terrace.
Walking along the side of the road, the further in I went, the darker and damper it became.
She gradually felt a little cold, and Xie Yanqing threw a cloak to her: "You are still pregnant, you must not freeze yourself! In the future, if you fail to give birth to an heir, it will be my fault."
Wei Shuyi nodded to express her gratitude, and when they arrived at the underground palace of Yiqing Terrace, he turned the mechanism, and after the door rotated, he led her forward.
"Is this where our Imperial Master usually practices and rests?"
"Yes, look at that meditation table. There are still traces of his past, as well as torn notes. I've examined them all!"
Wei Shuyi couldn't help but feel nervous: "Your Highness, by doing this, wouldn't you be alerting the enemy? The Imperial Preceptor is always very perceptive. What if he discovers that someone has moved into his secret base? And what if the location is changed in the future?"
"He hasn't been here lately. He only comes here to recuperate when he's seriously injured. I've figured out his habits. Now, what we're looking for should be hidden here."
When Wei Shuyi heard this, he couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Your Majesty, what are you looking for?"
"Don't you want to know about the Book of Prophecy, Concubine Jia? Or have you already forgotten about it?"
She couldn't help but be stunned: "The Queen only told me what she said, how did the Prince know it?!"
Xie Yanqing smiled noncommittally, "You only need to know that throughout the Yonghua Palace, I have spies planted wherever I want. So, whether you are loyal to me or have other plans, I know everything. Don't play any tricks!"
She said no more and began to search in this simple training room with mixed emotions.
She finally found a corner of the meditation table and knocked gently, finding the sound unusual. After trying to move a few wooden blocks placed above, she saw faint words appearing inside, and she froze in her tracks.
"Your Majesty, come and take a look at what's in here?!"
Xie Yanqing walked over and, based on his understanding of the mechanism, easily disassembled the training platform.
There was a small booklet hidden inside, with the words "The Wei Family" written on the cover. Seeing his father's name on the title page, Wei Shuyi couldn't help but tear up.
"Could it be that they had planned this long ago?!"
There were also several letters from Qu Wenhe in the booklet, which clearly stated that the Duke of Weiguo must be eliminated, and he would be responsible for pleading for him in the court and redressing his grievances to prevent future troubles.
The conspiracy between the two people was clearly revealed in just a few words.
Xie Yanqing frowned and sighed, "I never thought Qu Wenhe would pull such a trick! Back then, I thought the Qu family was the savior of your Wei family!"
New hatred and old grudges were mixed together, and Wei Shuyi only had one belief in his heart -
Kill her!
The entire Qu family must be brought to ruin!
