Chapter 95 She persuaded Qin Ye to comply with His Majesty's wishes
"No, this old servant was just passing by and didn't know how Your Highness was doing. I wanted to ask the Princess Consort, but I was afraid of disturbing her rest."
Grandpa Decai lowered his eyes and explained, his voice and expression showing no abnormality.
Only on his face was there a hint of worry for Qin Ye.
"I'm not entirely clear about Your Highness's condition either."
Yun Si sighed softly, seemingly puzzled, and said, "His Majesty forbids me from entering the palace to visit His Highness. I don't know why."
"Your Majesty, you have your own reasons."
Eunuch De Cai said, "In that case, Your Highness need not worry too much. This old servant will take his leave now."
"Okay, take care, father-in-law."
Yun Si watched De Cai's departing figure, lost in thought.
“Master.”
Lan Xin and Lu Yu came out, and their gazes followed Yun Si. Lu Yu asked, "Is there something wrong with Eunuch De Cai?"
"have no idea."
Yun Si gently shook her head: "I can't quite describe the feeling. He seemed to be acting as usual, but my intuition tells me that Eunuch Decai is definitely not as simple as he appears on the surface."
"Is the master overthinking things?"
Lu Yu asked doubtfully, "Eunuch De Cai has been here since the Xiao Prince's mansion was established. He is very loyal to His Highness. From what I've seen, he doesn't seem to have any problems."
"Perhaps."
Yun Si turned around and returned to Qiwu Garden.
For the next two days, she did not sneak into the palace again.
Qin Ye's concerns were not unfounded; always taking such risks could easily lead to utter ruin.
At this moment, many eyes must be watching her, waiting for her to make a mistake.
She had to be extremely cautious.
Although his injuries are still severe, with the medicine she left behind and Doctor Ji's meticulous care every day, as long as he takes the medicine on time every day, he will be able to return home soon.
Your Majesty, we can't keep him confined in the palace forever.
Moreover, Qin Ye would secretly have someone pass on messages to her every day, truthfully informing her of his situation so that she could stay in the mansion with peace of mind.
These past two days, Yun Si has been keeping busy even while staying at home.
In addition to physical exercise, Tai Chi, and silver needle shooting, a special ointment was developed for Qin Ye to remove scars.
I plan to sneak into the palace again in a couple of days and personally deliver the ointment to him.
Yun Si was already very cautious, but sometimes, under the absolute suppression of imperial power, it was really difficult to have both.
Some things are simply unavoidable.
During the two days she stayed in the manor, that person still came every day. Unfortunately, An Ye was not in the manor at night, and Yun Si was unable to confirm whether he was a member of the Xiao Prince's manor on both occasions.
If not, how could he come and go freely in the Xiao Prince's mansion? With so many guards and secret agents in the mansion, she didn't believe that no one could discover his presence.
However, Yun Si felt that this person seemed to be only watching her, but not all day long. He would stay in Qiwu Garden for a short while and then leave again.
The reason she could never be sure whether this person was friend or foe was because she had never sensed any emotion from him.
Whether it was scrutiny, curiosity, hostility, or murderous intent... there was none of it.
This person was like a soulless ghost.
If Awu couldn't see him, it would be difficult for her to even perceive his presence.
"A-Wu, has he left?"
On the third night, that person came again, but this time he stayed for a shorter time, as if he was just checking to see if Yun Si was staying obediently in the mansion.
“Just left,” A-Wu said.
"Chase after them."
Yun Si immediately asked, "While making sure we don't get caught, see where he went."
Awu nodded: "Okay."
She responded and turned to chase after the man without hesitation.
Yun Si waited in the courtyard.
Actually, she was a little worried.
Although A-Wu is powerful and her strength is unfathomable, she has been influenced by Qin Yan ever since she was bound to that love potion. Therefore, she is still somewhat uneasy about letting A-Wu chase after that person.
After making the decision, she regretted it somewhat.
Fortunately, after waiting for more than an hour, A-Wu returned safely.
“A-Wu”.
Yun Si immediately checked her body to make sure A Wu was not injured and had not been in a fight.
"I'm fine, sister."
Ah Wu jumped up and down a few times to prove that she was unharmed.
Seeing this, Yun Si felt relieved and then asked, "Did you catch up with him? Did you see where he went?"
"I saw it."
Awu nodded and said truthfully, "He went to the Jin Prince's Mansion, the Lin Prince's Mansion, the Xiang Prince's Mansion, the Jing Prince's Mansion, and finally the Yu Prince's Mansion. He only went into each mansion for a short while and came back without doing anything."
What is he up to?
After hearing this, even Yun Si, who is usually very shrewd, was somewhat stunned.
He's visited all the princely residences, so whose man is he really?
His Majesty?
Yun Si shuddered.
Is His Majesty spying on all his sons?
Is this person a Phantom Guard?
Yun Si seemed to understand something for a moment, but then felt that something was not right.
It's understandable that His Majesty would secretly monitor his son; after all, emperors throughout history have been very suspicious.
However, Prince Lin, who had been neglected since childhood, was also under surveillance?
Then why were none of the things that Prince Lin did discovered?
Or perhaps she guessed wrong.
This person is neither a Phantom Guard nor one of His Majesty's men.
Yun Si felt a bit of a headache.
After drinking a bowl of calming soup, she went to bed early.
As for this person, she decided to observe him for a few more days and wait until Qin Ye returned home before making a decision.
The next day.
Yun Si began preparations early in the morning, planning to go to the palace tonight to deliver medicine to Qin Ye.
Several days passed, and Qin Ye sent messages every day saying that everything was fine. But Yun Si knew that he was only reporting good news and not bad news, and would try his best to hide the bad things.
At noon, Mr. Qu made a special trip to Qiwu Garden.
Seeing his hurried steps and serious expression,
A bad feeling welled up in Yun Si's heart.
"Mr. Qu, I heard you went out of town. When did you return?"
"last night."
Mr. Qu didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.
It turned out that as soon as he returned last night, he heard about Qin Ye being beaten with eighty lashes for disobeying the imperial order. Realizing the seriousness of the matter, he immediately came over to analyze it for Yun Si.
"Your Highness, you don't understand. Whether His Highness marries Miss Jiang or not is not something His Majesty cares about at all. What His Majesty cares about is that His Highness has disobeyed the imperial decree and defied him. This is a challenge to his imperial authority, especially since it's because..."
At this point, Mr. Qu paused, but ultimately chose to speak frankly.
"Moreover, it's because of you, Princess Consort, that you've disobeyed His Majesty for the sake of a woman. His Majesty will absolutely not allow his son to devote all his emotions and thoughts to a woman, no matter who that woman is!"
After listening to Mr. Qu's analysis, Yun Si's heart sank.
"So, Mr. Qu means...?"
"What I mean is that I want the Princess to persuade His Highness that it's just taking a concubine. Whether he treats her as a decoration or pretends she doesn't exist, as long as His Majesty's wishes are met, that's fine."
"..."
a long time.
"good."
Yun Si heard her own ethereal voice ring out: "Mr. Qu, rest assured, I will persuade him."
