Chapter 1162 This person is cautious at every step
He Yi was silent for a while, then said, "I think there's another person who might also have some influence."
"who?"
"Noble Concubine."
"Noble Concubine?"
Xu Miaoyin frowned, then said, "But last time, when the emperor lost control, the imperial concubine almost died in his hands."
He Yi was silent for a moment and said nothing.
Ye Zheng also glanced at him.
In fact, he also vaguely felt that when the imperial concubine was around, there did seem to be some influence on Zhu Feng, including what he said when he was scaring Nan Yan before, "I like to kill people in my dreams." After meeting Nan Yan, he also changed a little.
However, no one can be sure whether it is their illusion or reality.
And the imperial concubine could not withstand the second life-and-death crisis.
The three people stood in front of the imperial study and fell silent for a moment.
At this time, footsteps were heard not far ahead.
Turning around, I saw it was Eunuch Yu.
He also saw the three of them standing here and immediately came forward to salute.
Seeing him in such a hurry, Xu Miaoyin asked, "Eunuch Yu, where did you go just now? Why didn't I see you serving the emperor?"
Eunuch Yu said, "Just now, news came in from outside the palace."
"What news?"
“…”
Eunuch Yu was silent for a moment, looked around, and made sure that no one was around before he lowered his voice and said, "The Emperor has sent someone to Lingtian Mountain at full speed to look for the old uncle."
"Old uncle?"
"Yes."
"That--"
"But the news came back that the old uncle had left Zhenwu Temple and was traveling around."
"What?"
When the three heard the news, they were stunned.
You know, just a few days ago, Chen Zixiao and his three brothers followed Taoist Shouzhen here, but now, the old uncle has already left Zhenwu Temple.
It feels like—
It's like, deliberately avoiding it.
Could it be that he could predict the future?
Ye Zheng was also surprised and said, "When did the emperor send someone? How come we didn't know?"
Eunuch Yu sighed and said, "On the night that His Royal Highness Prince Ning passed away, the Emperor issued an order that night, ordering them to gallop. This time, several horses died before they brought back the news, and the result was—"
Having said that, Eunuch Yu shook his head.
This time, even though they were standing outside, they could feel the tense atmosphere in the imperial study seeping out, making it hard to breathe.
In their hearts, they all thought silently—
The emperor, he still cares.
In fact, there is no way not to care.
So, after Prince Ning said those words that night, even though he faced so many problems, he immediately sent people to Zhenwu Temple to look for his uncle, obviously to verify Prince Ning's words.
But in this case, who can guarantee how this matter will affect him in the end?
He Yi thought for a moment, then turned back and whispered to Eunuch Yu, "Eunuch, please stay by the emperor's side and pay more attention to him."
Eunuch Yu said, "What are you talking about, sir?"
Xu Miaoyin said, "You also know what happened to the Emperor last time. If the same situation occurs again this time, you must inform me immediately. There must be no mistakes."
"yes."
After Eunuch Yu finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the imperial study.
Xu Miaoyin had hardly slept for the past few days, and now she was exhausted, so she went back to Yonghe Palace to rest.
After they all left, Ye Zheng asked, "What are you going to do now?"
He Yi said: "There is another person, I want to find him."
Ye Zheng was stunned for a moment: "You mean, Jian Ruocheng?"
"good."
"I just find it strange. It's already this late, and he still hasn't shown up. What is he thinking?"
"That's not the most important thing."
He Yi said this, a rare hint of gloom in his expression. He turned and walked forward. Ye Zheng hurriedly followed him: "This is not a big deal? Then what is the big deal?"
He Yi turned around and glanced at him, saying, "How big can Beiping City be? The six armies of the Forbidden City, along with the Jinyiwei, have all been dispatched, and they haven't found him in all these days. Don't you think this is strange?"
"Well?"
Ye Zheng was stunned for a moment before he seemed to come to his senses: "Now that you mention it, I find it strange too."
“…”
"With so many people, we couldn't find him alone."
He Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Ye Zheng said hurriedly: "However, he deliberately avoided us, so it would be difficult to find him."
He Yi said, "If he wants to avoid me, he can hide for a while, but I calculated that I can find him in three days at most. However, there has been no movement in the past few days, and with the big incident at the Jian family that night, I sent more people to watch around the Jian family, but I still can't find any trace of him."
"So, what's going on?"
"I suspect someone is helping him."
"What?!"
Ye Zheng was startled. "Someone is helping him? But, his current identity is so special. On one hand, he is someone who once worked in Prince Ning's Mansion. Moreover, the Emperor has sent so many people to find him. Who dares to help him? Who can help him?"
"Whether or not I dare is hard to say, but the most important thing is that I was able to truly make the six armies of the Forbidden City and the Jinyiwei search the city for so many days without finding anything."
Ye Zheng's eyes flashed: "You mean——"
He Yi walked slowly forward in silence. After a long while, he spoke, "Prince Ning was poisoned, the people from the Dali Temple were silenced, and we searched everywhere in Peking for Jian Ruocheng but couldn't find him. This shows that we are facing an invisible, yet extremely powerful enemy."
“…”
"The other party's hand has already reached the court, and we are still unaware of it."
Ye Zheng broke out in a cold sweat: "Who has such great power?"
He Yi didn't say anything, just walked forward silently.
After a long time, he stopped again and looked back at the imperial study which was now very far away. Even though it was so far away that he could hardly see it, he could still feel the heavy atmosphere.
He said in a deep voice: "This person is cautious at every step. I just hope that the emperor will not be affected again, otherwise -"

This night is especially long.
However, Zhu Feng hardly closed his eyes, just sitting in the chair in the imperial study, suffering in this long night.
It seemed like a long night that I had experienced before, dark and long, as if it would never end.
The empty imperial study made him feel suffocated for the first time.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he seemed to be trapped in a chaotic situation, as if - a violent hurricane, blowing yellow sand all around, making it impossible to breathe.
It seemed like a nightmare that was too long.
Eunuch Yu, who had been standing by, saw that his face was getting paler and paler, and he felt more and more uneasy. He whispered, "Your Majesty, would you like to go back and rest?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Feng suddenly stood up.
