The emperor was a little conflicted, but this was the only option available.
He had just returned to the imperial study, thinking carefully about how to do this matter, when Xiao Dezi came in again in a hurry from outside.
"Your Majesty, this is not good, this is not good."
"Why are you so flustered? Xiao Dezi, you are becoming more and more unstable."
"Your Majesty, forgive me."
"Tell me, what happened?"
"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince of Qing was assassinated on his way back to the post station."
"What!!!"
The emperor felt like his ears were broken. "Tell me again, what happened to the prince of Qing?"
Xiao Dezi quickly knelt down, not daring to look up. "Your Majesty, the prince of Qing has been assassinated and his whereabouts are unknown."
The emperor almost suffocated and sat down heavily on the dragon throne.
Xiao Dezi was startled, "Someone call the imperial physician, call the imperial physician!"
Rong Xi looked at the messy scene in the system interface with satisfaction. After a while, someone knocked on the door outside the carriage. There were three heavy and one light knocks, and Shen Ze'an slightly opened the curtain.
A man in black whispered something, and Shen Zean's face immediately darkened.
After lowering the curtain, he glanced at Rong Xi and realized that she had dared to set her sights on him.
Rong Xi guessed from his expression that he probably knew what happened in the palace. The two of them were silent all the way. When they got home, Rong Xi had fallen into a deep sleep and was carried back by Chen Ze'an.
As soon as he entered the mansion, Rong Xi woke up and wanted to get off Chen Ze'an.
"I'm going to sleep alone today."
"Why?"
"I don't want to be with you."
Chen Zean came closer, put his arms around Rong Xi's waist from behind, and whispered softly in her ear, "Why, are you scared?"
Thinking of what Chen Ze'an said during the day about wanting to try the contents of the box in the evening, her face flushed.
"What are you afraid of? I just feel that the weather has been hot lately and I don't want to be with you. Go sleep in your own room."
"My own room. How can I have my own room? My room is right at yours."
"You, then I'll sleep somewhere else."
Shen Zean had no choice but to leave until he blocked people outside the wall in the middle of the night.
"Madam, where are you going to play without me?"
Rong Xi...
Why is this person haunting me?
"Why are you here?"
"Madam, you are asking this question. This is my husband's house. I can't be anywhere else. But what are you going to do dressed like this, Madam?"
"You said it's none of my business."
"I regret it."
"you……"
She didn't know what to say. She was wondering whether she should use some mental power to control the person back, when someone suddenly grabbed her hand.
"Madam, take me wherever you go. I'm a good fighter."
Rong Xi gave up his previous idea. Since he wanted to follow, let him follow. He knew about this matter anyway.
The two of them walked around and came to a dilapidated alley. After walking inside for a while, they heard a sound inside.
"Brother Qi, thank you so much for saving me. I will definitely repay you in the future."
The man with his back to Rong Xi and the others, with a sword slung over his shoulder, said to Ji Zhi in a somewhat rough voice, "You're welcome. It was really an accident for you as well. Now that you're safe, I'll leave now."
He was about to leave when Ji Zhi stopped him, "Brother, I'm not safe yet. I've been separated from my people. I know you're a good person. I wonder if you can protect me. I'll definitely reward you handsomely in the future."
His face was full of sincerity, but there was panic and despair in his eyes. He didn't know why he encountered these assassins, and who sent them? Were they from Qing or Xiali?
This man is highly skilled in martial arts and has an air of righteousness. If I could get his protection, I might be safe.
"No, I have something else to do and can't stay here any longer."
"Brother, why don't you escort me back to the post station? If you need anything, I'll have someone help you. Believe me, I definitely have the ability to do it."
"Who are you? How can you help me? I'm looking for someone. Can you help me find him?"
Ji Zhi saw that there was hope, so he didn't care anymore. No one could say for sure about finding someone. He just had to try his best to send someone to look for him. Whether he could find him or not was all up to fate.
"Don't worry, as long as they have existed, I won't necessarily help you find them."
"real?"
"A gentleman's word is as good as gold. You saved me in my time of need, so how could I not help you?"
"good."
Rong Xi originally wanted to go in, but seeing that the man was quite powerful, he took Shen Ze'an away.
.
The two of them came all the way to the palace. Although it was already midnight, the palace was still very lively because the emperor finally fainted and has not woken up yet.
Rong Xi found clothes for them, including those of palace maids and eunuchs… He looked totally natural in these clothes.
"I'm going to catch someone cheating, are you sure you want to go?"
"Go, I'll protect you."
Rong Xi shook her head and let him do what he wanted. The two of them came to the side hall of the cold palace. This place has always been sparsely populated and few people come here.
Shen Ze'an followed Rong Xi all the way. She seemed to be very sure of everything. For example, now, she could accurately find this side courtyard and could even hear the sounds of two people entangled inside.
Even if he wanted to find them, it would take time. Everyone in the palace is his people, but even so, if he hadn't come here with Rong Xi, he would probably not know about the affair between the two of them.
Seeing Rong Xi was about to go in, he was pulled back by Shen Ze'an.
"You want to go in now?" After all, she was not a woman, and it was obvious that two people inside were doing something.
"Why, are you scared?"
"I'm not afraid, I have a better way."
Rong Xi nodded, wanting to see what he would do, but she didn't expect that an old concubine from the cold palace would run out soon. In order not to alarm the masters of the other palaces, a group of people chased her from behind.
Some people got up to watch the fun, some to chase after others, and a large group of people were brought here.
"The Toffee has run inside, go and get her back."
There was chaos inside and it was too late to get up when he heard the noise. He was about to leave with his clothes in disarray when he was stopped in the dark, and finally the empress dowager and the queen were alarmed.
The people in the cold palace rarely saw their previous masters, and since one of them was dressed as a palace maid and the other as a eunuch, it made it even more difficult for them to recognize them.
Those who recognized him just wanted to watch the fun.
And who are these two people? Naturally, they are Jiang Yuchu and Ke Yihan, who are already husband and wife.
Jiang Yuchu wanted to wait a little longer, but the empress dowager exposed her lie after the emperor left. She felt a little guilty, especially after the empress dowager said that there were many capable old maids in the palace, which was obvious at a glance.
She panicked, fearing that her mother would really do this, so she wrote a letter to Ke Yihan, took her badge and let the person in.
Ke Yihan didn't want to come at first, but when he thought of the tears in her eyes at the end of the banquet, he still wanted to come to give her reassurance and let her feel at ease.
But as soon as he got here, his head started to feel dizzy, and in the end, the two of them rolled together.
