Yu Huai's face looked extremely pale. The paleness was not due to being frightened, but because he was forced to interrupt his cultivation, which led to his current appearance.
"Ahem... I don't know that group of people, so how could I possibly have the story that Noble Yi wants to hear?"
"If you don't know them, why write their names on the wall?" Wei Shuyi feigned confusion. "It's strange, but recently many people have asked me about the Wei family. Is there something hidden?"
"Noble Lady Yi, you're joking. This happened so many years ago, and now that someone is bringing it up..." Yu Huai suddenly looked up at her, "I wonder who asked Noble Lady Yi about Wei's family?"
"The first one was the young general. He was just curious why the great family he had previously been friendly with was destroyed after he returned from garrisoning the border with General Nangong. Unfortunately, he asked the wrong person. I spent most of my time in Yonghua Palace living the life of a servant. How could I understand the affairs of the court?"
Nangong Heng?
Hearing this expected person, he didn't show the slightest surprise: "So it's him! No wonder, he often visited the Duke's Mansion when he was young. When he returned to the capital, he couldn't even find the mansion. I did ask around. But why did you choose Concubine Yi?"
Wei Shuyi pursed his lips and smiled. "During Zhaohua's full-month ceremony, the young general gave her a gift and chatted with her for a while. He's a man of influence in the palace. Is that strange?"
"I've heard that Young General Nangong is a man of few words, rarely speaking to his family, let alone the women!" Yu Huai hinted, and became deeply interested. "I'd also like to find out what's so special about Noble Lady Yi that made him break the rules."
"What a coincidence! I have the same question! Why would the Imperial Preceptor, who has only ever had contact with the Emperor, go to such great lengths to travel to a small town in the suburbs to reminisce with Master Qu Wenhe?"
She didn't know if it was due to psychological reasons, but she felt that the flames around her suddenly rose higher, burning more and more fiercely, making it unbearable.
Yu Huai tried his best to control his emotions: "Why don't I understand what Noble Yi is saying?"
"Then just treat this as my nonsense! Anyway, when the emperor is free, since he can exchange a few stories about the past of treacherous ministers with me, he must be in the mood to listen to me talk about some interesting stories about the Imperial Master, right? Wen Yu, let's go and not disturb the master's practice."
"Bang!"
The exit door was quickly closed!
She didn't even notice when Yu Huai came behind her!
"Noble Lady Yi, do you know what you said?!"
"Know."
"You touched upon something I least want to mention, and you even want to spread it everywhere. How can I convince myself to forgive you?"
He was really born with a cold body. His cold hand slowly wrapped around her neck, tightening as he spoke, without any hesitation.
"Master Imperial Master, you won't kill me here just to silence me, right?"
"I wouldn't dare!" Yu Huai whispered softly in her ear, "Yiqingtai is full of traps. It was Noble Lady Yi who disobeyed the advice and barged in on her own, leading to her death. This is not my fault!"
“Heh…” Wei Shuyi’s breathing gradually became difficult, but he did not beg for mercy. “Then let this be as the Imperial Master wishes. Let me die on Yiqing Terrace! Anyway, the daughter I gave birth to with so much difficulty has been conspired against by you and is now suffering from illness. In a few years, she will come to see me…”
Wen Yu watched this scene in horror and stepped forward to pull the two apart: "Are you crazy?! You actually want to kill the emperor's woman!"
"Get out of here!"
In Prince Lian's Mansion, the thing Wen Yu regretted most was that he had never learned martial arts and didn't even know the most basic dodging moves.
So, she took Yu Huai's palm and her back hit the door panel and fell to the ground, vomiting blood!
"Wen Yu!" Wei Shuyi watched her get injured, unable to do anything. "One day, I will make you a thousand times stronger..."
"Unless, Noble Lady Yi can survive."
Yu Huai was just about to twist the slender neck with force when he felt a strange feeling in his chest!
That familiar torture again?!
He began to panic, and unconsciously reduced the strength of his hands. However, the backlash-like torture did not weaken, but instead intensified to the point where his whole body was trembling!
“Ugh!!”
Yu Huai took a few steps back and fell on the table where the firewood was piled.
He took a deep breath in panic, but the white shirt on his chest was gradually stained with blood.
Wei Shuyi looked at the sudden change at a loss. Without time to think deeply, he ran to Wen Yu's side and tried to help her up: "How is it? Can you walk?"
"No, it's okay, mostly external injuries."
The main door, which was originally locked, was unlocked with a "click" sound due to the weakening of Yu Huai's internal strength.
The exit was right in front of them. Wei Shuyi didn't dare to hesitate and walked out with Wen Yu in his hand.
Behind them, the powerful national teacher fell down, holding his chest, and looked at the backs of the two in disbelief.

"Big Brother, why can't I draw this talisman correctly? It's so hard to remember!"
Concubine Xin stood outside the Qingming Pavilion, shouting for the secret of drawing talismans. Only in this way could she avoid being accused by the palace servants of having too close a relationship with Yu Pei.
In fact, there shouldn't be such rumors.
Yu Pei had already been castrated, making him no different from a palace eunuch. The reason he still attracted rumors was because of the prevalence of concubinage.
The Zhou Dynasty did not have such strict regulations that required eunuchs to die in the palace without any comfort. Therefore, it was common for eunuchs to choose suitable palace maids as their consorts.
Today, Xin Xuanshi shouted in the bright sunlight for a long time, but Yu Pei didn't respond at all.
He didn't get up from the wicker chair until a leaf fell from the tree.
"absurd!"
"Ah? Big Brother, did I do something wrong?"
Yu Pei didn't respond, but just looked in the direction of Yiqingtai: "Before you came here today, did you look for Concubine Yi?"
"No, Sister Yi has been busy taking care of Her Royal Highness the Princess lately, so I can't bother her too often. Did something happen? Or did Senior Brother develop a life-saving elixir?"
"There's no bottle to save the princess, but there is one to save her mother." Yu Pei stuffed a porcelain bottle into her hand, "Hurry up and go to Lin'an Palace to check! I think you can still catch up!"
Concubine Xin didn't understand what was going on, but she understood the seriousness of the matter from his expression. She quickly put away the talisman paper and carefully put the porcelain bottle away.
"Then Big Brother, I'll come again next time!"
"Go ahead."
Yu Pei frowned and watched her leave.
In his hand, he still tightly grasped the fallen leaf, and now he stared at it intently and continued to examine it.
"You really don't know what you can do! You've already suffered the consequences of defying fate, and you still dare to continue? You used retreat as a pretext for cultivation, but now, I'm afraid you really need to retreat to heal your wounds!"
