Wei Shuyi had discussed this plan with Yu Pei and specially gave Xuan Jing the medicine developed by Sang Yu, which caused him to show symptoms of continuous drowsiness.
Now that the effect of the medicine has worn off, my son has returned to his cute and active self.
Wei Shuyi suppressed his guilt and explained the situation to Wen Wanyi: "The Third Prince is in much better condition now. We can return to the palace."
"So accurate?! It seems this Taoist Yu has some skills! He says it will heal in a few days, and it will heal in a few days." Wen Wanyi expressed surprise and asked quietly, "But, what happened last night? Although I heard some noises, I didn't dare to come out to see. When I woke up this morning, I heard the maid beside me say that the Grand Master also came to our mansion? And he directly arrested Taoist Yu?"
Thinking back to the thrilling events of last night, Wei Shuyi was still in shock and could only nod. "Yes, he said he wanted to send Taoist Yu to the capital to face the emperor. So, I thought about going back with him. If this person wants to embarrass Taoist Yu in front of the emperor, I can still help him. If he succeeds in killing Taoist Yu, the entire harem will be his and Concubine Qu's world!"
"So...does Sister need a concubine? Perhaps I can help?"
"Just rest assured and take care of your baby. Leave these matters to me."
Originally, she should have pretended to be happy and returned to the palace when her own son recovered. But now, she was left with only heavy worries.
Xie Yanci was very excited about their return. He hugged Xuan Jing and teased him for a long time without letting go.
Until Yang Mingrui came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Preceptor requests an audience."
"Well, come in."
Wei Shuyi stood there without moving.
The emperor saw her and looked puzzled: "Yao'er, why don't you return to Changchun Palace? I have something to discuss with the Imperial Master."
"I...I may also be an insider, so I would like to stay here for a while to see what the Grand Master wants to say. If it involves state affairs, I will leave immediately."
Since it was not a confidential matter, Xie Yanci nodded and agreed to her request.
After a while, Yu Huai, wearing a black robe, walked in, followed by two palace servants, one on the left and one on the right, dragging Taoist Yu, whose mouth was sealed tightly.
Strangely enough, Yu Pei's eyes, when he looked at her, weren't as calm and composed as usual. Instead, they were filled with panic and fear, even tinged with hatred that she didn't understand.
"Grand Master, you left the palace without telling me, and how did you bring Taoist Yu back in this state?!"
"Your Majesty, I have heard the whole story of the Third Prince's illness from rumors in the palace. I observed the stars at night and discovered that the Third Prince's illness was entirely caused by this evil Taoist! He deliberately made the Third Prince look like this so that Concubine Xu and her son could live in the residence of the Minister of the Central Secretariat and escape the Forbidden City. Then, he took the opportunity to kill them! Fortunately, I arrived in time to prevent the disaster from happening."
As expected, it’s Yu Huai!
His ability to confuse right and wrong is as admirable as ever!
Wei Shuyi was about to defend Yu Pei when he saw her look at him. "Madam Concubine Xu, this kind of astronomical phenomenon of two stars overlapping the moon is the first time I have seen it. You may not understand its power, and it is understandable that you have some misunderstandings about me."
She had too many doubts in her heart and wanted to get the answer from Yu Huai's eyes, but he just shook his head slightly.
Turning around, he bowed to the emperor and pleaded, "Your Majesty, this demon may still have many secrets! Imprisoning him in the Heavenly Prison will only make him more likely to deceive people. How about allowing me to bring him back to Yiqing Terrace and let me keep him under strict supervision? I promise that as long as I live, he will definitely live in this world! If he dies in Yiqing Terrace one day, I will also die as an atonement!"
Now that things have come to this, Xie Yanci couldn't possibly disagree.
"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Imperial Master."
Wei Shuyi held the child and walked down the stairs step by step, chasing Yu Huai's figure.
"Master Imperial Master!"
"I know that Your Majesty has many questions. But I also understand that Your Majesty is a wise person. All you need to do is be patient and wait."
"Then allow me to ask one more question! Seeking the skin of a tiger... If the tiger is no longer there, can the desired outcome still be achieved?"
Yu Huai turned slightly and said, "Now that the tiger is gone, Your Majesty, please go find another one. With Your Majesty's current abilities, you will surely be able to peel off the most gorgeous fur yourself and make clothes."
"Thank you, Imperial Master, for answering my questions. I understand."
Yu Pei, the owner of Qingming Pavilion, disappeared in Yonghua Palace just like that.
Except for the emperor and Wei Shuyi, no one knew that he was trapped in the underground palace of Yiqingtai and was tortured day and night.
Wei Shuyi continued to hide his shortcomings as before, trying his best to highlight the beauty of the second prince Xuanhui, and left his own son in Changchun Palace to raise him personally.
During this period, Concubine Qu did not dare to act rashly. With the assistance of the Third Prince and the strong recommendation of the Imperial Preceptor, she quickly regained her former position and once again became the Emperor's favorite, Lady Yuluan.
Perhaps because her power was about to reach its peak, or perhaps she needed to concentrate on advancing towards the position of queen, Madam Yuluan's gaze was not on Wen Wanyi's gradually bulging belly, but on how she could embark on the path of becoming the mother of the country, and how she could send her own Xuanhui to the position of crown prince.
Therefore, after Wen Wanyi successfully gave birth to a daughter, the palace once again welcomed Madam Yuluan's birthday banquet.
Wei Shuyi will never forget the scene when Qianwei ran into the palace in panic while she was still in Chengqian Palace, watching the woman dancing with long sleeves on the high platform and chatting and laughing with the concubines.
"Madam! This is terrible! The Emperor is furious and wants to conduct a thorough investigation of the Secretariat and the Minister's residence overnight! Now, Master and Madam have been imprisoned in the Dali Temple!"
The jade cup in his hand fell.
Madam Yuluan raised her head with a stiff smile and handed Xuanhui to her attendant: "Today is my birthday, don't joke around!"
"Madam, I'm telling the truth!" Qian Wei didn't care about anything else. "It is said that the Imperial Preceptor personally met with the Emperor, and then the Emperor got very angry and issued an oral order..."
"shut up!"
Madam Yuluan leaned on the table and said, "The matter has not been settled yet! It must be the work of evildoers! They all want to harm my father! They must be..."
She stumbled down the platform, her walking posture was a little weird, and because her legs were weak, she fell down the stairs!
When Wen Wanyi saw this scene, she gently patted the swaddling clothes in her arms and turned her gaze towards Wei Shuyi's position.
There was no trace of astonishment or regret in her eyes, as if the person who was about to die was not her biological father, but a passerby.
