So ever since the Ninth Prince fell in, there have been rumors in the palace that it was that little palace maid who was taking his life.
Once this happened, both the emperor and his ministers understood that it was those people who had started the trouble!
As for the rumors in the palace, Emperor Mingxi did not order anyone to suppress them. Let them spread if they want; otherwise, how could he follow the clues and uproot that hidden force in the palace?
When the prince was unexpectedly in danger, on the surface, the emperor simply ordered palace servants to send some things to comfort the two of them, and then ended the matter as an accident.
He seemed indifferent to the two people and the things around them.
Therefore, the helpless Ninth Prince could only swallow his anger.
However, the fourth prince, who still had something to rely on, refused to accept this.
From the groom to the guards, everyone was arrested and interrogated.
His birth mother, Consort Xin, who was as serene and unassuming as a bodhisattva, smelled for the first time the scent of a conspiracy aimed solely at her son.
She finally couldn't sit still any longer.
"Master Yue, what should we do now? Xiao Si's startled horse was definitely premeditated!"
Because of the fruits and vegetables bestowed by Emperor Mingxi, Consort Xin gradually recovered her health. Although Emperor Mingxi later learned the truth and did not send any more, Consort Xin's health did indeed improve greatly. Now she is so anxious that she walks around her palace without feeling tired.
"Your Majesty, we are now under house arrest and cannot go anywhere. There is no use in worrying about us."
Yue Ying was pale at this moment. This cold had almost killed him. He didn't know why, no matter what medicine he took, he didn't get better. Instead, he got worse day by day.
Because the Fourth Prince offended Yue Shaoshi, everyone in their palace was implicated and confined to their quarters. He fell ill and remained ill for over a month.
Having already missed the date to see his junior brother Qi Ming, he only hoped that without his help, his junior brother could successfully complete the task assigned by the Yue Emperor.
At this moment, Yue Ying was unaware that his beloved junior brother was imprisoned at the very bottom of the Heavenly Prison.
I'm waiting for the day I can reunite with him.
"But I feel that this time is different from the usual scheming and vying for favor in the harem. This time, it's directly aimed at taking Xiao Si's life."
Moreover, the opponent's strength is unknown, and their origins and purposes are unclear.
In the past two days, even Emperor Mingxi, her father, has begun to have doubts.
They thought the emperor had discovered their plan and wanted to get rid of his own son, Xiao Si, thus thwarting the Yue emperor's scheme.
But all indications suggest that this matter was not orchestrated by the emperor.
"Your Majesty, even if it's as you guessed, we're currently bound hand and foot. So what you need to do now is figure out how to regain the Emperor's favor and get him to lift our ban... cough cough..."
Before he could finish two sentences, Yue Ying started coughing again. He felt like he was going to cough up his lungs, and his throat still felt itchy and dry.
Seeing that his face was flushed from coughing and he seemed about to die at any moment, Consort Xin temporarily suppressed her worry for her son and turned her attention to Yueying's health.
"Master Yue, why isn't your illness getting better? Is it because the medicine isn't working?"
Consort Yue could only think of this reason after much thought, since the medicine came from their own palace and the prescription was written by themselves.
Surely no one would tamper with the medicine just to harm one of her 'head maids'!
Emperor Mingxi tells you, there really are people who can do it!
If it weren't for keeping Gan Sheng in check, he wouldn't have killed someone on his own turf, and he wouldn't have been so hesitant and roundabout in doing so!
Emperor Mingxi wanted to curse, 'This is so damn frustrating!' Sooner or later, he would make Gan Sheng taste this bitterness!
Yue Ying leaned against the pillow and waved her hand weakly, saying, "The prescription is fine, the problem is with my own body."
In his early years, he learned his skills from his master Du Zhongxian and tasted all kinds of poisons, which damaged his physical foundation. Although he has gradually recovered in the Dayan Imperial Palace in recent years.
However, this cold came on suddenly and brought out his hidden ailments.
On several occasions, Yue Ying even had a vague feeling that his time was coming to an end!
Both master and apprentice couldn't help but frown, their faces clouded with worry.
As we entered the end of April, the weather, like the lingering gloom in everyone's hearts, was drizzling and rainy.
Emperor Mingxi, who is over forty years old, seems to have entered his menopause prematurely, and he looked particularly unhappy at the morning court session today.
The solo player has been 'roaring' in the court for a while now.
The reason is simply that the person they wanted to catch hadn't been caught, and the person they wanted to kill still had to be dealt with slowly.
This must have been incredibly frustrating for the emperor, who was now the most powerful man in the land!
He had to secretly order his spies from potential countries to speed up their preparations; if they did the first day, he would do the fifteenth!
Yue Fuguang couldn't help but pick at his ear and asked the system, "System, have you found Songshan and Fengyang's whereabouts?"
[Host, the points you gave me weren't wasted. The data of the Gossip System has been restored by a small portion.]
Finding two people would be easy, wouldn't it?
The gap in growth between the "eating melon" system and the "merit" system is gradually widening, indicating a serious imbalance in their respective systems.
Even with one person unifying the country, they haven't realized the problems with this.
At this moment, Yue Fuguang was more concerned with finding and eliminating the two people, and he wanted to quickly earn back the points he had spent.
So, to the system that thought it was all back after only recovering a little data, it replied dismissively, "I knew you were the most powerful system."
Tell me, where are these two now?
【Host, these two are really cunning. There's a saying in your hometown: "A cunning rabbit has three burrows." These two changed locations five times in ten days.】
Tell me, isn't that outrageous?!
Yue Fuguang nodded in agreement, "That's really outrageous! You just told me where they were staying."
"Those two probably moved again soon after!"
The system thought about it and realized it made sense, so it had a sudden inspiration and said, "Master, I know where Songshan and Fengyang are hiding."
Yue Fuguang, who was still dozing off with her eyes closed, only moved her eyeballs slightly. She remained in a half-reclining position, and her lazy voice echoed throughout the hall.
"Didn't you say yesterday that they just moved locations? Where have they moved to today?"
Hehe, the place they chose today is really interesting. And it's rare that the two of them think of the same thing—the most dangerous place, but the safest route.
This put Wei Ping and Cai Xian in the dark.
Seeing that Wei Ping and Cai Xian looked eager, the system stopped keeping them in suspense and readily began to report the address.
Songshan is located diagonally opposite the Shangjing County Government Office, in the Yuelai Inn, the first chain inn in the multi-dimensional world.
This kid is indeed royalty; he never compromises himself, no matter where he goes. He's currently staying in the best room in the inn, while his sister Yangzi is staying in a regular superior room.
The brother and sister pretended not to know each other.
Yue Fuguang was a little speechless and couldn't help but complain, "This shorty, you say he's cautious, but he lives in the most eye-catching room, number one in the 'Heaven's House,' right next to the county government office."
You might say he's careless, but he at least knows not to put all his eggs in one basket.
Where are all his men?
The Dongyi people have an even stronger sense of hierarchy than the Dayan people, and his men would certainly not allow a prince and a princess to stay at an inn alone.
