Without waiting for Yun An's reply, he walked past Yun An and continued walking outside.
Yun An knew that His Majesty was not telling the truth, but he did not expose anything. Instead, he respectfully bowed to His Majesty and only entered the palace after His Majesty left.
The palace was simply furnished. Shen Yuyi sat on the bed, clearly having heard what His Majesty had said. She looked at Yun An with a complicated expression.
Yun An sat down beside her. "Sister Yi, are you feeling any better?"
Shen Yuyi nodded, and Yun An said with relief, "That's good. You too, you had to hide your illness from us. If His Majesty hadn't brought back that young master, if the young master hadn't saved you, you probably would have left us."
Yun An was nearly twenty years younger than Shen Yuyi and had always treated her like an elder sister or a mother. Seeing that Shen Yuyi was getting better, he couldn't help but complain a little.
"I understand, don't worry, it won't happen again." Shen Yuyi knew that Yun An was concerned about her, so she agreed in a good-natured manner, and then glanced around at her surroundings.
Yun An knew what she wanted to do, but was afraid that the walls might be overheard. "I sent Imperial Physician Wen away long ago. After Chao Yuan found out about this, he even brought people to guard outside the courtyard. Don't worry."
Chao Yuan was subordinate to His Majesty and was the most skilled in martial arts among the eunuchs. He was an upright man and often protected His Majesty. Therefore, he often interacted with them and had a good relationship with both of them.
Hearing Chao Yuan's name, Shen Yuyi felt relieved and whispered, "I have been poisoned. We must find the poisoner as soon as possible and not leave any hidden dangers. Also, the matter of that young master must not be revealed. Go and make arrangements with Physician Wen."
Yun An was initially surprised that Shen Yuyi had been poisoned, but after hearing Shen Yuyi's arrangement, he immediately nodded in agreement.
As the head of the Imperial Household Department, Shen Yuyi was granted the privilege of residing in the palace for an extended period, and the royal family valued her and even assigned guards to protect her.
How could someone be poisoned so mysteriously?
The person who poisoned her must have a certain status to be able to bypass so many people and reach her.
She had already noticed the difference in that young master. Not long after he entered the hall, it became quiet, and even Shen Yuyi's slight coughing stopped. Sensing something was wrong, she quickly sent the Imperial Physician Wen back to the Imperial Hospital and went to find Chao Yuan to explain the situation before returning to wait outside the hall.
Only after finally hearing sounds coming from inside the hall did Yun An dare to open the door and check the situation.
Seeing that only His Majesty was present, Yun An finally guessed what was going on. Now, hearing Shen Yuyi's instructions, her suspicions were gradually confirmed.
Shen Yuyi knew Yun An was intelligent, so she didn't hide anything from her. "When I woke up just now, I saw His Majesty alone and heard rumors outside. I understood. So, I was afraid of being discovered by outsiders, and I refrained from asking His Majesty any questions."
Although Shen Yuyi's words were vague, Yun An could still understand what she meant. That young master was extraordinary, perhaps even a deity. He must have set up some kind of barrier, just like in the stories, so that people inside the barrier could not hear the sounds outside, and vice versa.
When that young master disappeared, the barrier also disappeared, and the sounds inside and outside the hall could naturally be heard.
The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously offered their prayers, "I hope he's alright!"
......
When Chen Xiao walked out of the courtyard, she saw Chao Yuan and his men guarding the gate. Before she could say anything, he patted her on the shoulder to express his praise, and then walked quickly toward the Qianqing Palace.
Encouraged, Chao Yuan stood even more firmly in place, watching His Majesty depart.
Fortunately, the Qianqing Palace was not far from the Kunning Palace, and they arrived in no time. She dismissed the palace servants and went straight into her bedchamber, closing the doors and windows before attempting to contact Xixi in her mind.
But there has been no response.
Chen Xiao was extremely worried.
Although this system is a bit unreliable and confusing, sometimes it is not very professional, it is even stinky, it deserves a beating, it is not a very good temper, it also likes to pretend to be cool, and it is still a foodie...
But... she actually liked Xixi very much and couldn't bear to leave her.
Just then, a faint voice came, mixed with a faint crackling sound of electricity: "Alright, I'm not dead yet. Host, you're as sharp-tongued as ever. From now on, just say the last sentence and pretend I didn't hear the rest."
She had fallen into a deep sleep when she heard her host's anxious calls. Afraid that her host would worry, she forced herself to wake up from her deep sleep and happened to hear what her host said. The more she listened, the clearer her muddled mind became (because she was angry).
It wasn't until he heard the last sentence that all his anger subsided, and he finally spoke to the host calmly.
Hearing that Xixi could still speak to her, Chen Xiao was relieved. "How are you now? Can't you show yourself?"
"Hmm, host is really smart." Xi Xi's voice became lazy.
After confirming that Xi Xi was alright, Chen Xiao's words carried a hint of reproach, "You previously said that systems have no feelings, but now that this life-saving system Xi Xi is here, what else is there to say?"
This is similar to the situation in Yuyiyuan.
Unlike Shen Yuyi, Xi Xi was not as gentle. She retorted, "Our system doesn't have any feelings for each other, okay? I was just provoked by her. Who told her to be so good at talking and always ignore my abilities? I have to show you all so I don't lose face. Otherwise, when word gets to the Yuan Realm, I don't know what Qian Yi and the others will think of me."
"Yes, yes, you're the most emotionless one. You definitely didn't save Shen Yuyi out of your heart. You love performing, and you care the most about what Qianyi and the others think of you. Okay?" Chen Xiao teased with a smile in his eyes.
Hearing these sarcastic remarks, Xi Xi's ears turned slightly red, and she remained silent.
Chen Xiao stopped talking about that and instead asked Xi Xi seriously, "Can I come see you?"
After a moment of silence, Xi Xi said, "It's possible, but I don't have a complete physical form right now. If you come in, you'll just be able to see my phantom and hear my voice, just like you are now."
I want to see you.
Chen Xiao defeated Xi Xi with just five words, and Xi Xi resignedly opened the passage, saying, "Come on."
Almost instantly, she was sucked into a place. When she opened her eyes, she found that it was the same as the scene in the inner hall of the Dark Pavilion. There were also many light screens and many spacetime rifts, with faint electric currents flickering in them.
Is this the Metaverse?
She 'stood' in mid-air, walking forward while looking around.
Suddenly a barrier blocked her way, followed by a mechanical voice: "Intruder from outside the metaverse detected. Intruder S003."
Such high technology?
As if knowing what Chen Xiao was thinking, the mechanical voice paused for a moment before softening into a gentle tone: "Welcome home, S003."
