She saw Xuan Ling sitting on a chair in the yard, as if he had guessed her coming.
Seeing her like this, Cui Mixue just smiled and let it go.
Xuan Ling asked, "When can I leave?" Seeing that Cui Mixue didn't say anything, he didn't ask any more questions.
Cui Mixue will not let the real Xuan Ling out. If Su Mengyan finds out that the person next to her is not the real Xuan Ling, it will be a big trouble.
She will definitely bite your tail and cause endless trouble.
Since she couldn't get her help, she wouldn't let her go to the prince to increase the power around him. She had to cut off the possibility of the prince contacting her, so that she could feel at ease.
Through observation over the past few days, Zhen Xuanling felt more and more that things were not that simple. Cui Mixue was only nice to him on the surface, but in fact she wanted to imprison him.
But this was someone else's territory, and she was an injured person who didn't know the terrain here. Moreover, Situ Zhao's men were keeping a close eye on her, leaving her with no way to escape.
"I think your injury is almost healed. Why don't you write a letter and ask the people around you to take you back. I'm worried about you leaving alone." Cui Mixue actively visited Xuan Ling every day, and her purpose was very clear.
Although she knew that Xuan Ling would not let them use his power, she still wanted to gain some of it. If someone came to pick her up, the news that she was this person's savior would spread throughout the martial arts world, and that would be a small help.
"Okay, I'll write a letter home in a few days. There's no rush right now, and I'd like to bother you for a few more days." Xuan Ling was alone and weak, and he didn't dare to fight the person in front of him head-on, so he could only show weakness on the surface.
"It doesn't matter. Just treat this place as your home and do whatever makes you feel comfortable." Cui Mixue was of course happy with this. As long as the person was in her hands, there was no need to worry about any accidents.
This also made Cui Mixue relax her vigilance a lot, expanded the scope of Xuan Ling's activities in the mansion, and to a certain extent provided Xuan Ling with many opportunities to observe secretly, making it easier for her to escape.
However, the fake Xuan Ling in the East Palace thought that her identity had not been exposed yet, and she was still using her identity to roam around here freely.
What she didn't know was that Su Mengyan had discovered long before that this person was an undercover agent sent by Cui Mixue, and all the information about her was in her hands.
But she didn't say it, and continued to keep this person in the house, wanting to see what kind of activities she would do.
The two of them get along well. Su Mengyan always inadvertently reveals Situ Yao's recent situation and what he is going to do during their chats.
This made Xuan Ling, who was listening on the side, very happy. He really didn't have to waste any of his own manpower to get what she wanted. The two of them started chatting more enthusiastically.
Su Mengyan was very skillful in revealing information. She revealed half truth and half lies, and the true half was all insignificant things.
This made it easy for Cui Mixue and the others to find out, and they believed that the news was true. After a few times of this, they no longer deliberately checked whether the news was true or not, and they trusted the news passed on by the fake Xuan Ling.
Just when they were feeling smug, they didn't know that Su Mengyan had already sent people to follow them.
"What do you think their expressions will be like if the truth comes out? Wouldn't this be considered as being too clever for one's own good?" Su Mengyan said this, unable to imagine how they would look when they found out.
"It's not that they are being too clever for their own good, it's that you are too smart and you easily see through their plan." Situ Yao praised with a smile.
The two forces are evenly matched and both are ready to make a move, but bad news comes from the palace.
Concubine Hui died suddenly the night before yesterday, while she was having sex with the emperor. The emperor was frightened by this incident and did not attend court for several days. The news came out on the third day.
The murder of a palace concubine was a big deal. All forces were silenced at once. The emperor was very angry. When his condition improved a little, he ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.
The people in the court were in panic. Situ Yao went back and told Su Mengyan about this matter.
"I'm really good at predicting things." The two of them had already made plans for this matter, so they were not too panicked when it happened. They could still drink tea and chat calmly here.
"Indeed, during the morning court session, many people were implicated because of this incident. It seems that this time the emperor is preparing to make a major change." Situ Yao said thoughtfully while looking at his teacup.
"Who is the most favored imperial concubine now?"
As soon as these words were spoken, both of them understood the meaning. Concubine Hui's sudden death was unexpected for everyone, but if someone rushed out at this time, then this person would be the most suspicious.
But often the person who is most suspicious is also the one who benefits the most.
"It's Concubine Bai."
Concubine Bai has been very busy these days. She has been taking care of the emperor when he was sick. This matter has made the emperor very afraid both physically and mentally. On the other hand, he also has a lot of love for the old man who takes care of him and never leaves him at this moment.
"Your Majesty, the matter of Concubine Hui's sudden passing should be resolved as soon as possible so that she can be buried in peace as soon as possible." Concubine Bai said while serving the emperor dinner that day.
Concubine Hui died suddenly and the emperor did not make any arrangements, so her body had been kept in the hospital and no one dared to move it. When Concubine Bai said this, the emperor suddenly remembered.
However, the emperor did not want to let Concubine Hui go. The death of a palace concubine was not a big deal, but he was frightened, which was a serious crime.
This was indeed the case. Huifei's father and brother knelt at the palace gate early in the morning and begged the emperor to punish them.
How could Concubine Bai not see the reaction of the person she had served for so many years?
"After all, I have served you well, and I am a pitiful person. I have always been on good terms with Concubine Hui. I am willing to fast and chant Buddhist scriptures for a month to pray for my sister's soul and for the emperor's blessing."
The person who had just gently and considerately picked up food for him was now kneeling on the ground and saying such touching words that the emperor was deeply touched.
"You are so thoughtful. You are worthy of being a royal concubine. You can set an example for all the other concubines in the palace." The emperor helped her up and held her in his arms.
The next day, he rewarded Concubine Bai with many gifts, which made some happy while others sad. This move left many people puzzled. What was the emperor thinking?
