Su Jinyun's long and beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, the peaks of her eyebrows resembling a delicate crescent moon, yet trembling slightly as she contemplated deeply.
She fell into quiet contemplation, her gaze focused and profound, as if she could see through the reality before her and perceive every subtle change in the situation.
At this moment, her mind was like a huge, precisely operating machine, with countless thoughts spinning rapidly like gears, quickly weighing various advantages and disadvantages and possible situations.
In this brief yet seemingly endless moment, countless ideas and deductions flashed by like shooting stars in the night sky.
The images flashed through her mind, each one concerning the success or failure of the matter and the safety of everyone.
After a moment, her expression turned solemn, as if she were shouldering the heavy responsibility of the world's people, and she slowly spoke.
Her voice, though not loud, was clear and firm, as if each word carried immense weight.
He said firmly, “Once Xuan Ying and Xuan Yu return, you two will take them and sneak into the palace. First, investigate the Emperor's current situation. If there are any unusual movements, immediately proceed to Kunning Palace.”
If the Empress is in good health, inform her that I have returned and have learned of the Fifth Prince's rebellious intentions, and await the Empress's wise decision.
"Avoid alerting the Emperor and Empress's current guards along the way. Act swiftly and discreetly, so as not to disturb the tranquility of the palace."
Several guards responded in unison and with powerful voices, as if they came from a deep valley. Although they were deliberately lowered, their voices carried a deep-seated determination and loyalty.
Like a resounding bell echoing in a quiet space, each note was a solemn declaration of mission.
Just then, Xuan Ying and Xuan Yu strode forward with steady and agile steps, like two calm black shadows.
Silent yet possessing an undeniable aura, it quietly entered.
The two men appeared calm, but their eyes revealed a sharpness and alertness, like cold stars twinkling in the night sky.
After hearing about Su Jinyun's meticulous and well-organized arrangements, they exchanged a knowing glance.
In those eyes, besides a precise assessment and thorough understanding of the situation, there was also an equally unwavering and fearless determination to die for it.
Then, the two nodded in tacit agreement, their movements swift and decisive, without any objection.
Immediately afterwards, they followed several well-trained bodyguards carefully selected by Su Jinyun, moving like ghosts blending into the night, their movements light and agile, their footsteps silent as if treading on clouds.
They left the farm quietly, and the night outside the farm was like a vast, boundless, and unfathomable black ribbon.
In an instant, it gently yet resolutely swallowed their figures.
They vanished into the vast night without a trace, as if they were part of the night itself, never leaving any mark on the world.
Pei Yanci tilted his head slightly, his gaze passing through the cracks in the window lattice as he looked at the gradually changing sky.
The inky night sky, like a heavy lead block, shrouded the earth, creating an oppressive atmosphere that was almost suffocating.
But in the distant East, a faint, almost imperceptible glimmer of dawn was beginning to appear, like the first rays of sunlight before daybreak, struggling to break through.
They tried to break free from the heavy shackles of darkness and bring a glimmer of hope to this sleeping world.
He frowned slightly, and a few shallow lines involuntarily appeared on his forehead.
Those are the traces left by the intertwining of time and reflection, like a map depicting worry and prudence.
He secretly estimated the time in his mind, his mind working like a high-speed precision instrument, quickly sorting out the upcoming changes in the situation and all possible scenarios.
Then, he slowly turned his head to look at Su Jinyun, his eyes filled with a hint of caution, inquiry, and a hidden worry about the unknown situation.
He slowly opened his mouth and said, "Prime Minister Su's plans this time, could it be that he places high hopes on the Empress?"
As the night of Yin draws to a close and the hour of Mao (5-7 AM) approaches, if the Emperor is truly in danger, clues will likely emerge when the morning bell tolls and officials gather for court.
Why bother venturing into the treacherous depths of the palace and engaging in such clandestine maneuvers in the dead of night?
Su Jinyun gently curved her lips into a smile, a smile like a fleeting epiphyllum blooming quietly in the night sky, ephemeral yet seemingly containing endless profound meaning and wisdom.
She looked at Pei Yanci with a calm and composed gaze, her eyes revealing a wisdom and composure that seemed to see through every subtle thought and worry in his heart.
She paused slightly, as if organizing her thoughts or carefully considering her words, before slowly saying, "Is Prime Minister Pei worried that the Empress and the Fifth Prince are secretly colluding?"
But please rest assured, if Qianluo hadn't seen her sincerity back then, why would she have risked her life to save her?
Moreover, this Yin night, before dawn, is like the deathly stillness before a storm. If we insist on waiting for the morning court session with its resounding bells and the gathering of officials, we risk missing the opportunity and regretting it too late.
This risky entry into the palace, though fraught with peril, will allow us to uncover its true nature.
My greatest worry is that the Fifth Prince might secretly poison His Majesty to harm his body. If we simply wait passively, we risk wasting the city's lights and jeopardizing the stability of the nation.
After hearing Su Jinyun's words, Pei Yanci seemed to be caught in an invisible vortex of thoughts, and fell into deep contemplation for a long time.
He nodded slightly, his lowered gaze seemingly piercing the ground and looking into an endless abyss of thought.
In my mind, a complex picture of the situation slowly unfolds, interwoven with the relationships between characters, the checks and balances of power, and all sorts of unknown variables.
He knew very well that if this person was someone personally approved by His Highness Prince Zhao, it would be as if a very heavy weight had been quietly placed on the scales of trust.
His Highness Prince Zhao is undoubtedly a remarkable and legendary figure in the ever-changing political and social landscape.
