"Your Majesty, I must be mistaken. How could this poor monk not be familiar with the princess?"
The emperor said: "You are the Bajie that my sister mentioned..."
Before he finished speaking, Bajie immediately put his palms on his chest, with a compassionate look on his face: "Your Majesty, I am a mirror."
"I think you do have some connection with Master Mingjing. I will take you away for now and wait for Master Mingjing to decide."
Bajie: ...
When the guards held his shoulders, Bajie looked into the hall again, but saw nothing as the bed curtains were tightly covered.
He said: "Your Majesty, you will regret it. I will definitely come back!"
emperor:……
People who have some connection with the Emperor's sister always feel...
The emperor pinched his brows and strode into the hall.
"How is the Imperial Sister?"
Yue Lingfeng saw the emperor and made way for him, saying, "Your Majesty, the princess' fever has subsided. I just wiped her body and she is sleeping soundly now."
Upon hearing this, the emperor glanced at Yue Lingfeng, lifted some of the curtains with his fingertips, and saw Wen Yu sleeping peacefully with her eyes closed. Only then did the tension in his heart completely relax.
"I'm leaving first. Please take good care of my sister."
The emperor had other important matters to attend to, and he couldn't rest easy without seeing Wen Yu, so he hurried to see her. After making sure that she was in good condition, he could leave with peace of mind.
After the emperor left, Liu Chun muttered, "Today is the princess' birthday, but that Lance messed it up. It's really abominable! He should have been whipped a few hundred more times!"
Yue Lingfeng held Wen Yu's hand and said, "The blessing and fireworks ceremony will go on as usual. I hope the princess can see it."
At this time, the imperial guards had quietly surrounded all the post stations in Shengjing City.
Such unusual movement naturally could not be hidden from Ning Xuanyan's eyes.
After listening to the spy's report, he stood at the window, thoughtful.
"My Lord, what is the purpose of the Imperial Guards surrounding the posthouse?" Hua Yao frowned. "Those who came to celebrate the birthday and stayed at the posthouse are all vassal states of the Sheng Dynasty. The Emperor's behavior is really intriguing."
Ning Xuanyan tapped the window frame with his fingertips and said slowly, "Let's wait and see."
At this time, a black pigeon flew into the yard.
Hua Yao removed the letter tube tied to its foot, pulled out the note, unfolded it, glanced at it quickly, and then paused for a moment.
"My Lord."
Ning Xuanyan said "Hmm?" indifferently.
Hua Yao read out the words written on the note: "Lance sneaked into the palace disguised as a beautiful woman, and the love potion in the princess has been removed."
Ning Xuanyan frowned suddenly when he heard this, took the information from Hua Yao's hand and quickly scanned it. After confirming that it was correct, he slowly clenched the note and his face became very ugly.
His tone was extremely cold: "Emotional drug?"
Hua Yao said, "It must have been set by Lance, but it has been removed, so it should be fine."
"Now they can't even explain the intelligence clearly? Who gave the drug? Who cured it? How did they cure it? What's the situation of the person now? Do I still need to teach them?"
As Ning Xuanyan spoke, anger flashed in his eyes, and he slashed at the window frame with his palm, and a crack appeared on it in an instant.
Huayao: ...
She shuddered, knelt on one knee and said, "Master, please calm down. I will reply and ask him to report the whole thing."
"No need." Ning Xuanyan clenched his fists and took the cloak beside him, "I'll go by myself."
Hua Yao was stunned when she heard this, and immediately advised: "Your Majesty, this cannot be done. Today is Christmas, and the palace is already extremely heavily guarded. This time, something has happened to the eldest princess, and it is even more..."
"No need to persuade me anymore." Ning Xuanyan tied his cloak tightly, "I should have entered the palace long ago."
If he had disguised himself as Cui Xin and stayed by her side today, this would never have happened.
It's his fault.
Hua Yao knew that she couldn't persuade him. When it came to that person, she had never persuaded him before, so she said, "My Lord, since you must go to the palace, why don't you bring the birthday gift with you."
Ning Xuanyan paused slightly, then left.
Huayao:?
She stood up and felt a little strange. It made no sense for her master not to bring a birthday gift.
She looked around and found that the wooden box that should have been on the shelf had disappeared.
Huayao: ...
She immediately understood that even if there was no Chinese medicine, the master would probably still take the risk to sneak into the palace just to offer a birthday gift.
But today is Christmas, and the master needs to stay and stabilize the morale of the troops, otherwise he would have already disguised himself as Cui Xin and stayed with the eldest princess.
I don’t know what birthday gift is in that wooden box?
Hua Yao shook her head. Was she also contaminated?
These are all I can think about.
The guards at the palace tonight were indeed stricter than usual. Ning Xuanyan tiptoed on the city wall to avoid all patrols.
As the crown prince of the previous dynasty, he was very familiar with the layout of the imperial palace. Without much thought, he went straight to the location of the Damei Palace.
Ning Xuanyan has superb martial arts skills, but he still needs to be extra careful in the palace. After all, the most important thing when sneaking in is to stay hidden and not be discovered. It's not like you're trying to catch me. Haha, you can't catch me!
Ning Xuanyan was blocked when he was still a few feet away from the Damei Palace.
He stopped on the eaves and looked at the figure opposite him. He saw the swimming fish mask glowing with cold light. Ning Xuanyan said, "Submerged Fish Guard."
Ning Xuanyan did not hide his true appearance today. Yu Yi recognized him, but he still spoke in a businesslike tone: "You are not allowed to approach the Damei Palace."
Ning Xuanyan crossed his arms and a corner of his cloak was blown up by the wind.
He narrowed his eyes and said, "You were the fish-diving guard in the Cold Spring Pond that day, right?"
Fish One: ...
"You must know the relationship between Wen Yu and I. It's not up to you to decide whether I can get close to you."
"Sneaking into the palace without permission is a serious crime."
Ning Xuanyan raised his eyebrows: "Let Wen Yu decide whether he is guilty or not."
As he spoke, he swooped down, his toes lightly tapping the leaves, his figure graceful and elusive.
In fact, Ning Xuanyan didn't want to have a conflict. He just wanted to see Wen Yu as soon as possible so that he could feel at ease.
"I just want to see her, otherwise I will be worried."
Upon hearing this, Yu Yi stood still and watched him enter the Damei Palace.
Thinking about what happened not long ago, he still feels like it was a dream.
If it weren't for the thing he accidentally picked up in his arms that gave him a sense of reality, he would really think that his entanglement with the princess was just an illusion.
Yu Yi touched the thing hidden in his chest, his eyes trembled, and he murmured, "I will return it to the princess after the adults are gone."
