Mo Qiyuan naturally heard her scream. He threw the blood-stained sword in his hand to the ground, asked someone to take Chu Mingrou away to wait for his decision, and then walked towards Ye Jinyun.
Looking at her pale little face, Mo Qiyuan hugged her with deep apology.
"Yun'er, it's my fault. I scared you and the baby."
Ye Jinyun swallowed his saliva, it was a bit scary, but the fact that Mo Qiyuan took action himself showed that Concubine Xian's words had indeed angered him.
The ultimate reason for this was that Concubine Xian had murdered her.
So Ye Jinyun felt that it was normal for her to be a little frightened.
Ye Jinyun calmed herself down and whispered, "Your Majesty, it's late. Let's go back to the palace and rest. I'm sleepy."
"Okay," Mo Qiyuan responded gently.
So he ordered someone to bring a sedan chair and accompany Ye Jinyun back to Qingyue Palace.
…
Moon at Midheaven
Tonight is Mid-Autumn Festival, and many people cannot sleep well because of this sudden accident.
Similarly, people whose plans fail cannot sleep.
The woman sat in her hall, waiting for someone to come and report.
A "creak" sound was heard.
The door of the hall was opened a crack, and the skinny man slipped into the hall.
"Master, Concubine Xian's plan has failed."
Hearing this, the woman's face was filled with anger. "What a bunch of rubbish! Even if you help her, she can't burn Ye Jinyun to death."
The man said nothing, and he agreed with this.
He helped them deal with the eunuchs guarding the cold palace, and even helped them set off smoke screens when they set the fire, but that didn't work, and he felt they were useless.
The woman looked at him and said, "No one has discovered what you did, right?"
The man cautiously replied, "Master, the Chu sisters saw me take action, but they didn't tell anyone about it. Even Concubine Xian took the blame for the drugging."
"Haha, then they are not completely brainless. They know they can't kill Ye Jinyun, so they still want to keep a hidden danger around her."
The woman was silent for a moment and then said:
"Don't attack Ye Jinyun again. After this incident, Mo Qiyuan will definitely increase his protection of her. Any further action will only expose us. We can only find another way to complete the task assigned by the king. By the way, what's the situation outside the palace?"
"My lord, that man may not be able to wait for us to take action, and has already begun to act in secret. I received the news, and he also sent a letter to the king, requesting the king to cooperate with him to send troops to Da Qi again, so that he can take this opportunity to capture the palace in one fell swoop."
The woman smiled sarcastically.
"Oh, he's just anxious because Ye Jinyun is pregnant. That's right, if Ye Jinyun gives birth to a son, then Mo Qiyuan will definitely make him the crown prince. By then, the country will be stable, and he won't have any role to play. Of course, he has to act as soon as possible.
But that's fine. If he can succeed with this trick, that would be even better. When he kills Mo Qiyuan and takes the throne, we can then take action against him. Then Da Qi will be in our Beirong's pocket, and it will be worth all our years of lurking in Da Qi."
"Yes, Master is right. Once we complete the king's mission, we will be the number one hero. Even the position of queen that the king promised will be yours. You will then be second only to the king and above everyone else."
The woman couldn't help laughing when she heard this.
Second to none and above ten thousand?
Haha, she wants more than that.
"Okay, you can step back first. Keep an eye on all the news. We'll take action when we get a chance."
"yes".
…
A few days later
Chu Mingrou was ordered to be executed by Mo Qiyuan.
Because of Concubine Xian's actions against the empress and the royal heir, members of Concubine Xian's maternal family were also implicated, and were exiled to the frontier by Mo Qiyuan's order.
At the same time, Mo Qiyuan also began a large-scale search of the harem. He always felt that Concubine Xian could not do such a thorough job.
Even though she had some confidants in the palace, it was impossible for her to accomplish things so comprehensively on her own.
Mo Qiyuan subconsciously felt that this incident might be related to the person who had tampered with Ye Jinrong's medicine before.
Sure enough, after some investigation, Mo Qiyuan noticed something.
That is just as Concubine Xian said, she had someone poison the two eunuchs outside the cold palace.
However, according to Yin Yi's secret investigation and the coroner's autopsy, the time of death of the two people was inconsistent with the time when Concubine Xian's people went to the cold palace to pick up the Chu sisters.
Those two people died before Concubine Xian's men went to the cold palace. This means that someone must have helped her get rid of them before she took action. That person wanted to help them, and his purpose was self-evident, which was to use them to attack Yun'er.
This method was exactly the same as using Ye Jinrong to go crazy to harm Yun'er, but the man's actions were extremely covert, and no clues could be found at all. This gave Mo Qiyuan a headache, so he could only increase the number of secret guards to protect Ye Jinyun's safety.
"Your Majesty, Lord Wei requests to see you."
Chen Fuquan stepped forward and reported carefully.
The emperor has been in a very bad mood these days because of the fire in Qiongxiang Pavilion. Except for being friendly when facing Concubine Yun, he always has a cold face. Even he is very nervous when doing his job.
"Let him in." Mo Qiyuan said coldly.
After a while, Chen Fuquan came in with his men.
Wei Lingfeng entered the palace and paid his respects to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I present my humble servant. Your Majesty, my spies have reported that recently, in the deep mountains of the southwest, individuals have been discovered secretly training soldiers and smelting iron ore to forge weapons."
