From what I learned from Master Ziyuan, Emperor Longfeng was in a much happier mood, and his sickly face looked more energetic. When he returned to the Qianqing Palace from the Xuanqiong Palace, he didn't even ask for help.

But when he arrived at the palace gate and saw Concubine Wen waiting for him, his expression suddenly changed and his steps paused.

Concubine Wen Gui waited in the Qianqing Palace for half an hour.

Emperor Longfeng was not around, so she could not enter the emperor's bedroom at will and could only wait outside. Although the palace servants had brought in tables, chairs and a stove, it was very cold in the last month of winter, and she was freezing after waiting outside for so long.

Now that she had finally gotten the person back, she naturally wouldn't waste this opportunity.

Adjusting her facial expression, she walked towards Emperor Longfeng gracefully, holding up the hem of her skirt. She had a slender figure and had dressed up specially today. Under the white fox fur, the red dress was not thick, but thin and attached to her body, just right to outline her beautiful figure.

Her eyes were full of affection, and even her voice was a little angry. The word "Your Majesty" that she addressed him in a roundabout way was charming in a way that those young beauties did not have.

Emperor Longfeng used to like her the most like this.

However, today was a departure from his usual behavior. Not only did Emperor Long Feng not reach out his hand to her, he frowned and said anxiously, "Stop!" He looked as if he was avoiding her as if she were a snake or a scorpion.

Concubine Wen paused and looked at him blankly.

Perhaps he realized that his attitude was too harsh. After all, she was his beloved woman, so Emperor Longfeng became more patient and said, "My body has not recovered yet. I need to meditate and cultivate myself these days. My beloved concubine, please go back first."

Concubine Wen's face turned red and white, and then white and red, and the handkerchief in her hand was almost tangled. In the end, reason prevailed, and she bowed and said meekly: "Then I will take my leave."

There were still many palace servants and guards outside the Qianqing Palace. Concubine Wen had never felt so humiliated as to be scolded in public today. She held her anger and hurried away with her maid.

Emperor Longfeng didn't say to himself until she was far away, with some fear: "She is so far away, she shouldn't be suppressed by the Yin Qi, right?"

Having said this, he was still worried, so he asked the palace maids to pack up the things used by Concubine Wen, and he also specially cleaned the outside of the Qianqing Palace before going in.

After such a long period of trouble outside, Emperor Longfeng felt tired when he entered the bedroom. He asked the eunuch to wait on him until he rested, and he did not forget to instruct Xue Shu to look for someone immediately.

Xue Shu followed his instructions and summoned all the concubines living in the northeast of Prince Yan's Palace to a side hall of the Qianqing Palace. He also ordered people to invite Master Ziyuan to identify them one by one.

The immortal Ziyuan Zhenren walked among the concubines and shook his head: "Not among them."

Xue Shu nodded, asked the anxious concubines to disperse, and went to report to Emperor Longfeng.

Emperor Longfeng was old but felt young. He woke up in half an hour and was drinking medicine. When he saw Xue Shu coming, his expression brightened up. He wiped his mouth and asked impatiently, "Did you find it?"

Xue Shu shook his head: "The real person said it is not included."

The joy on his face faded, and Emperor Longfeng said unhappily: "Why isn't he here? Did he miss something?"

"All the concubines are here, without any omission." Xue Shu was not afraid of his cold face, and said truthfully: "Women are mostly yin-rich, but the one the Immortal is looking for is yang-rich, so is it possible that she is not a woman?"

"It is possible, but the real person said that this man has a very close relationship with me." Emperor Longfeng frowned. In the Prince of Yan's palace, except for the eunuchs, the rest of the men were palace guards. How could they have a very close relationship with him?

Could it be that the Jinyiwei commander ordered Gong Hongfei?

"Summon Gong Hongfei into the palace." Emperor Longfeng couldn't figure it out, but no matter whether it was true or not, he would just call all the people in to identify it.

Emperor Longfeng searched the palace for the person with great fanfare, but after two days of searching, he still couldn't find the person that Master Ziyuan mentioned.

He even began to suspect that Master Ziyuan had made a mistake and that the person was not in the palace.

Just when Emperor Longfeng was getting anxious and angry about finding someone, the news reached the front court and the harem.

Most of the officials of the previous dynasty only sighed secretly, and some even wanted to take advantage of the situation and find that "nobleman" for the emperor.

However, the atmosphere in the harem was different from usual.

Ever since Emperor Longfeng personally issued the "order to expel Concubine Wen Gui" in front of the Qianqing Palace, no woman has entered the Qianqing Palace since then.

Not only the concubines in the harem, but even the palace maids were transferred away, leaving only the eunuchs to serve.

Concubine Wen Gui had no place to compete for favor, so she could only think about how to use Yin Ciguang and his mother in Jingren Palace. Just yesterday, her people saw the empress wearing the sachet sent by Concubine Rong around her waist.

This mother and son have already taken the first step. Whatever you ask them to do next, they will be much more obedient than before.

She needs to think carefully about how to make the best use of these two people.

But before she could come up with a comprehensive plan, she received news that Emperor Longfeng was searching the harem for a "noble lady" with extremely strong masculine energy.

For some reason, this news made her heart skip a beat and she had a bad feeling.

She wanted to find Emperor Longfeng to test him and confirm the reason for this action, but now Emperor Longfeng would not let women get close to him. After careful consideration, she could only endure it for the time being.

However, Emperor Longfeng was quite restless these two days and couldn't help but get angry.

"We've almost plowed the entire palace, why haven't we found the person yet?"

Because he was worried about finding someone, he had not been eating well or sleeping well in the past two days. The illness that had just recovered recurred. The imperial physician came to see him and gave him half as much medicine every day as before, but it did not have much effect, so he was just told to rest.

"In the past two days, we have searched not only the northeast direction, but also the entire palace to prevent any omissions." Xue Shu stood beside him, still expressionless and unperturbed: "Is it possible that Master Ziyuan made a mistake?"

Emperor Longfeng was stunned and looked at Xue Shu for a long time.

He had had this thought before, but the ability displayed by Master Ziyuan when the pimple plague broke out made him believe it without a doubt, so even if he had a trace of doubt, he suppressed it.

But now Xue Shu's words made him waver again.

He knew that Xue Shu was always straightforward, and his words were not directed at or doubting Master Ziyuan, but were just a reasonable guess.

After all, Master Ziyuan has not yet achieved great enlightenment and is not a true immortal, so it is possible that he made mistakes in his calculations.

Just when he was wavering and wondering whether to invite Master Ziyuan to come for another calculation, the palace maid serving outside came to report that Concubine Rong and the eldest princess wanted to see him.

Emperor Longfeng's illness is recurring now, and he is afraid of being suppressed by the Yin Qi, so he does not allow women to get close to him. Upon hearing this, he immediately said, "No."

The eunuch who passed the message said hesitantly, "But Concubine Rong said she came here for the person Your Majesty is looking for."

After hearing this, Emperor Longfeng became hesitant again. After thinking about it, he wanted to find the person as soon as possible, so he summoned him in.

The young eunuch led the two into the inner hall.

When Concubine Rong saw Emperor Longfeng, she knelt down and prostrated herself on the ground: "I am here to apologize to Your Majesty."

Yin Ci Guang also knelt down with her, pursed his lips and said nothing.

The mother and son came in and pleaded guilty, which surprised Emperor Longfeng: "What crime are you pleading for? Did you hide the person?"

He just said it casually, but unexpectedly, Concubine Rong responded. She raised her head and looked panicked: "The person your majesty is looking for... may be the eldest princess."

Emperor Longfeng was delighted when he heard this: "Really?"

He thought about it carefully and checked all the concubines and guards in the harem, and it was possible that Yin Ciguang was the one who slipped through the net.

"Quick, go and invite Master Ziyuan." Emperor Longfeng gave instructions and looked at the mother and son with a smile. His expression had become much more amiable. "It would be best if it was the eldest princess. What crime have you and your son committed?"

Rong Fei's lips trembled, as if she wanted to say something but didn't dare to. Her body, lying on the ground, was trembling slightly.

Yin Ci Guang pursed his lips, his face was pale and his eyes were red.

Emperor Longfeng was puzzled by their reactions, but at this moment, all his thoughts were on asking Master Ziyuan to confirm whether Yin Ciguang was the person he was looking for. He was too lazy to ask, and his fingers tapped the table anxiously.

After a moment, Master Ziyuan was hurriedly invited over.

Just as he stepped over the threshold, a deep voice came in with a smile: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you finally found the right person this time."

When Emperor Longfeng heard this, he stood up excitedly and asked, "Is she really the eldest princess?"

Master Ziyuan carefully looked at Yin Ciguang, calculated with his fingers for a moment, and said with certainty: "Jiashen year, Bingyin month, Jiashen day, Bingyin hour, the eight characters are pure yang, there is no mistake."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Longfeng turned around and asked about Yin Ciguang's date of birth. Concubine Rong told her the time, and it matched what Master Ziyuan said.

His face was immediately filled with joy, and he laughed loudly, "Master is truly a master of foresight. Is there a cure for my illness?"

Ziyuan Zhenren did not answer, but stared at Yin Ciguang with a serious expression, and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, there is something I don't know whether I should say it or not..."

"Please speak frankly, sir." Emperor Longfeng was in a very good mood at this time, and threw away the last bit of doubt in his heart.

"This princess, judging from her fate, should be a boy, how come..." He seemed puzzled, and raised his fingers to calculate repeatedly.

The joy on Emperor Longfeng's face faded a little, and he looked at the two people who had been kneeling the whole time.

When Master Ziyuan said the word "male body", Concubine Rong began to tremble even more violently.

He remembered that the two men knelt down and apologized as soon as they entered the room, so he sat down on the Luohan bed again and asked solemnly, "What happened?"

Rong Fei seemed extremely frightened. She knelt down and took two steps to block Yin Ci Guang behind her. She said sadly, "Your Majesty, please calm down. This was done by me. I forced Yin Ci Guang to do this..."

Her words were tantamount to acknowledging what Master Ziyuan said.

Emperor Longfeng showed some anger on his face, but when he thought that Yin Ciguang could help him, he suppressed his anger and said, "Let's make things clear first."

Only then did Concubine Rong wipe her tears and tell the whole story.

"The night before I gave birth, an immortal appeared in my dream and told me that the child in my belly was a pure yang person, and Your Majesty was the true dragon emperor, with an extremely strong yang energy. If the child was born, it might clash with the dragon body. The immortal who appeared in my dream told me that there were two solutions: either drown the child at birth, or let him dress up as a red-dressed man from now on, and use women's clothes to suppress the excessive yang energy."

"I am soft-hearted and can't bear to drown the child, so I can only dress him up as a girl." At this point, she burst into tears again, her eyes full of sorrow: "This time I heard that your majesty's illness has not been cured for a long time, and you want to find someone with strong yang energy. I know that my sins are serious, but I dare not harm the dragon body, so I can only bring Ci Guang to apologize. I am willing to die, and I only ask your majesty to spare Ci Guang."

Having said that, she knocked her head heavily on the ground and knelt for a long time.

Yin Ciguang came to pull her away with a pale face. He started coughing again because of his emotional excitement, but he still insisted: "It's my fault. I am willing to die for you."

"This is sheer nonsense!" Emperor Longfeng scolded, "It's just a dream, and you actually did such a treasonous thing!"

His face was filled with rage, his chest heaving with anger, and he only calmed down after drinking a cup of tea.

Just looking at the mother and son crying together, he was in trouble again. In the past, he would never tolerate such a scandal, but now he still needed Yin Ciguang to recover from his illness.

Just when he was in a dilemma, he heard Master Ziyuan speak again: "This dream of Concubine Rong is quite mysterious."

He opened his mouth, which aroused Emperor Longfeng's interest again: "What do you mean?"

Ziyuan Zhenren stroked his beard and said slowly, "The eldest prince is purely yang, and your majesty is also extremely yang. If they meet, there will indeed be a conflict." Seeing that Emperor Longfeng was nervous, he continued, "But one thing is wrong. When the eldest prince was born, your majesty was in the prime of his life. Although the eldest prince is full of yang, he cannot restrain the real dragon. On the contrary, he is too young to withstand the conflict of qi and may die early. This method of disguising as a woman has accidentally saved his life."

When Emperor Longfeng heard this, he thought it made sense.

Yin Ci Guang was indeed weak since birth. Even though he was not close to the child, he knew that he had been taking medicine every day.

Thinking about it this way, it was he who brought bad luck to this child.

Emperor Longfeng was no longer so angry and asked Master Ziyuan, "Does it still have any effect now?"

"Your Majesty is in need of replenishing his Yang energy right now, so it's no problem." Master Ziyuan said, "If your Majesty wants to recover soon, just ask the eldest prince to stay by your side for a month."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Longfeng looked at the mother and son, but he was no longer angry.

He ordered his men to send Master Ziyuan away. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Since you and your son have not made a serious mistake, I will give you a lighter sentence. I will find an opportunity to announce the identity of the eldest prince. It is not suitable for you to live in the harem anymore. You will move to the side hall of the Qianqing Palace today to serve the sick. As for Concubine Rong..."

Seeing Yin Ciguang's nervous expression, he said slowly, "Just stay indoors and reflect on your mistakes. I will lift your house arrest when I recover from this illness."

Yin Ciguang's heart fell to the ground. He bent down deeply and prostrated himself on the ground: "Thank you, father, for your mercy."
